| | TrkA Receptor |
| Description: | TrkA functional activity was measured using a DiscoverX PathHunter assay. In this assay, U2OS cells are express TrkA receptor as a fusion with the weakly complementing fragment of B-galactosidase, which DiscoverX calls Prolink (PK) ; additionally, Shc1 is fused with a larger fragment, which is called Enzyme Acceptor (EA) . Activation of the TrkA receptor, upon NGF addition, results in the kinase domain being phosphorylated, resulting in subsequent recruitment of Shc1-EA protein. That recruitment results in an active B-galactosidase enzyme that is detected by addition of a chemiluminescent substrate.All reagents were purchased from DiscoverX, except for the receptor agonists (NGF, BDNF, NT3) which were purchased from Peprotech. Cells were expanded and frozen into cryovials (TrkA p75 @ passage 13, 1.5×10^7 cells/vial; TrkC p75 @ passage 11, 1.5×10^7 cells/vial in InVitrogen Recovery Cell Freezing media), and stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen, and thawed immediately before use. Thawed cells were added to a 384-well plate (BD Falcon 384-well white/clear, TC surface 120 uL assay plates (353963), 20 uL of 0.375e6 cells/mL=>7500 cells/well), and allowed to incubate overnight. Compound (10 mM starting dose: 202.5 nL compound yielding 0.81% DMSO final in total assay volume and starting doses 81 uM) was added the following morning and allowed to incubate on cells for 1 hour. Then, 5 uL EC80 of agonist (NGF for TrkA; BDNF for TrkB; NT3 for TrkC) was added and allowed to incubate for 3 hours at room temperature. DiscoverX PathHunter detection reagent is added (12 uL to plate and components diluted in parts as per kit instructions) and the plate is further incubated for 1 hour in the dark. The plate is read via luminescence on the Perkin Elmer Envision. |
