Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  hGOAT Activity in HEK293 Cells after Incubation
Description:  Cells are plated with a density of 5000 cells/well in 384-well poly-D-lysin plates and incubated for 1 day at 37° C., 5% CO2 in DMEM medium, 10% FCS, 1ŚNEAA, Puromycin (0.5 μg/ml) and G418 (1 mg/ml). Then the medium is changed to a identical medium without FCS and containing Octanoate-BSA (final concentration 100 μM each) and compound in DMSO (final DMSO concentration 0.3%). After incubation for 5 hours acylghrelin in the medium is measured by ELISAThe medium sample is diluted 1:25 in Elisa buffer, A 25 ul aliquot is transferred to a 384-well ELISA plate previously washed 4 times with 100 μL wash buffer, and 25 μl tracer-solution is added. After incubation overnight ( 20 h) at 4° C. temperature the plate is washed 4 times with 100 μl wash-buffer per well. Finally 50 μl Ellman's reagent is added to each well and the plate is incubated in the dark for 20 minutes. The absorbance is measured at 405 nm in an Envision multilabel reader and the amount of acylated ghrelin is calculated according to a acylated ghrelin standard curve provided in the same plate.Each assay plate contains wells with vehicle controls (1% DMSO) for the measurement of non-inhibited transfer reaction (=100% Ctl) and wells with 10 μM ([Dap3]-Ghrelin) as controls for fully inhibited GOAT enzymeThe analysis of the data is performed by calculation of the percentage of acyl-ghrelin produced in the presence of test compound compared to the amount of acyl-ghrelin produced in the vehicle control samples. An inhibitor of the GOAT enzyme will give values between 100% CTL (no inhibition) and 0% CTL (complete inhibition). IC50 values are calculated with Assay Explorer or other suited software based on curve fitting of results of 8 different compound concentrations.
