| Description: | Preparation of Membranes: HEK293 cells stably expressing human CB2 receptor were collected, washed in ice cold PBS, and centrifuged at 48,000×g for 20 min at 4° C. The cell pellet was then collected, resuspended in wash buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 and 1 mM EDTA), homogenized on ice using a Brinkman Polytron, and centrifuged at 48,000×g for 20 min at 4° C. The resultant pellet was resuspended in ice cold 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, homogenized again on ice, recentrifuged for 20 min at 4° C., and membrane pellets were then stored at −80° C. until needed.[3H]P55,940 and [3H]WIN55, 212-2 Radioligand Binding Assays: Radioligand binding assays for human CB2 receptors were performed using two different agonist radioligands, [3H]CP55,940 and [3H]WIN55, 212-2 and similar assay conditions. For both assays, nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 10 μM unlabeled compound. Competition experiments consisted of addition of 20 μL of assay buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 2.5 mM EDTA, 5 mM MgCl2, and 0.5 mg/mL of fatty acid free BSA) containing test compound (concentrations ranging from 1 pM to 100 μM), 25 μL of radioligand (1 nM final assay concentration for [3H]CP55,904 and [3H]WIN55, 212-2), and 50 μL of membranes (20 μg/mL final protein for both assays). Incubations were conducted for 1 h at room temperature, assay plates were filtered under reduced pressure over GF/B filters, washed with assay buffer and dried overnight in a 50° C. oven. Then, 25 μL of BetaScint scintillation cocktail was added to each well, and plates were read in a Packard TopCount scintillation counter. |
