Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  HCT116 TOPFlash Assay
Description:  In preparation of the assay, the two cell lines were plated 24 hours before at 10000 cells per well of a 384 micro titre plate (MTP) in 30 μL growth medium. Selective inhibitory activity for small molecules on the mutated Wnt pathway was determined after parallel incubation of both (TOP and FOP) HCT116 reporter cell lines with a compound dilution series from 50 μM to 15 nM in steps of 3.16-fold dilutions in CAFTY buffer (130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 20 mM HEPES, 1 mM MgCl2, 5 mM NaHCO3, pH 7.4) containing 2 mM Ca2+ and 0.01% BSA. The compounds were thereby serially prediluted in 100% DMSO and thereafter in addition 50 fold into the CAFTY compound dilution buffer (described above). From this dilution 10 μL were added to the cells in 30 μL growth medium and incubated for 36 hours at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Thereafter luciferase assay buffer (1:1 mixture of luciferase substrate buffer (20 mM Tricine, 2.67 mM MgSO4, 0.1 mM EDTA, 4 mM DTT, 270 μM Coenzyme A, 470 μM Luciferin, 530 μM ATP, ph adjusted to pH 7.8 with a sufficient volume of 5M NaOH) and Triton buffer (30 mL Triton X-100, 115 mL glycerol, 308 mg Dithiothreitol, 4.45 g Na2HPO4.2H2O, 3.03 g TRIS HCl, ad 1I H2O, pH 7.8) was added as equal volume to the compound solution on the cells to determine luciferase expression as a measure of Wnt signaling activity in a luminometer.n order to determine the inhibitory activity of compounds for the WT Wnt signaling pathway, the Super TopFlash vector were cotransfected with pcDNA3 into HEK293 cells.
