| | FLIPR Assay in PAR4-Expressing HEK293 Cells |
| Description: | FLIPR-based calcium mobilization assay in HEK293 cells was used to measure PAR4 antagonism, agonism, and selectivity against PAR1. The activity of the PAR4 antagonists of the present invention were tested in PAR4 expressing cells by monitoring H-Ala-Phe(4-F)-Pro-Gly-Trp-Leu-Val-Lys-Asn-Gly-NH2-induced intracellular calcium mobilization. Counter screens for agonist activity and PAR1 antagonist activity were also performed. Briefly, PAR1/PAR4-expressing HEK293 cells were grown in DMEM (Life Technology, Grand Island, N.Y.) containing 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin, 10 μg/mL blasticidin, and 100 μg/mL Zeocin at 37° C. with 5% CO2. Cells were plated overnight prior to the experiment in a black 384-well Purecoat Amine clear bottom plate (Becton Dickinson Biosciences, San Jose, Calif.) at 10,000 cells/well in 30 μL growth medium and incubated in a humidified chamber at 37° C. with 5% CO2 overnight. Prior to compound addition, the cell medium was replaced with 40 L of 1× calcium and magnesium-containing Hank's Balanced Saline Solution (HBSS) (with 20 mM HEPES) and 1:1000 diluted fluorescent calcium indicator (Codex Biosolutions, Gaithersburg, Md.). After a 30 minute incubation period at 37° C. and a further 30 minute incubation and equilibration period at room temperature, 20 μL test compound (diluted in 1× HBSS buffer) was added at various concentrations at 0.17% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) final concentration. Changes in fluorescence intensity were measured using a Functional Drug Screening System (FDSS, Hamamatsu, Japan) to determine agonist activities. The cells were then incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature followed by addition of 20 μL of agonist peptide for antagonist activity measurement. The PAR4 agonist peptide (H-Ala-Phe(4-F)-Pro-Gly-Trp-Leu-Val-Lys-Asn-Gly-NH2) and the PAR1 agonist peptide (SFFLRR) were routinely tested to ensure a proper response at the EC50 value in the assay ( 5 μM for PAR4 agonist peptide and 2 μM for PAR1 agonist peptide). Compound potency was derived from 11-point concentration-response curves. |
