Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Cell-Based Assay
Description:  Initial cell-based XBP-1 mRNA splicing assays confirmed IRE-1α inhibition with several potent 5-bromo and 6 bromo o-vanillins. HEK293 cells were incubated with compound either overnight or for 2 hours prior to IRE-1α activation with the UPR inducing reagent thapsigargin. IRE-1α mediated XBP-1 splicing was measured by RT-PCR using XBP-1 specific primers flanking the 26 bp intron excised by IRE-1α. The results are shown in FIG. 1. It can be observed that at the higher concentrations, there is relatively more of the unspliced XBP-1 (upper band: substrate) compared to the spliced form (lower band: product).
