Assay Method Information
Assay Name:  ROR gamma t 5xRORE Assay in Jurkat Cells (Assay 2)
Description:  Compounds of the present invention were tested for ROR gamma inverse agonist activity in a cell-based, transcriptional activity assay. Secreted Nanoluc luciferase was used as a reporter for transcriptional activity of the full-length ROR gamma t in Jurkat cells (ATCC, Cat. # TIB-152). A reporter plasmid was constructed by inserting 5 repeats of the ROR Response Element (RORE) AAAGTAGGTCA (SEQ ID NO:1) into a commercially available promoterless plasmid pNL1.3[secNluc] (Promega, Cat. # N1021) using KpnI and HindIII restriction sites. The expression plasmid for ROR gamma t was purchased (Geneocopoeia, Cat. # EX-T6988-M02). Jurkat cells (30 million cells) were transfected with 11 μg of EX-T6988-M02 and 26 μg of the reporter plasmid in OptiMEM media using Lipofectamine LTX and Plus reagents (Life Technologies, Cat. #15338-100). After 5-6 hrs of incubation at 37° C./5% CO2, the cells were collected, resuspended in phenol-red free RPMI media containing 10% (v/v) delipidated FBS (Hyclone, Cat. # SH30855.03) and dispensed into 96-well clear bottom tissue culture plates (CoStar, Cat. #3603), at 80,000 cells per well. Tested compounds were added to the cells in the same media (final concentration of DMSO was 0.1% (v/v)), and the plates were incubated at 37° C./5% CO2 for 16-18 hrs. Luciferase activity in the conditioned supernatants was determined with NanoGlo assay reagents (Promega, Cat.# N1130). Percent inhibition values were calculated based on the fully inhibited and non-inhibited (DMSO) controls, and the values were regressed against concentrations of the tested compounds to derive IC50 values using a four-parameter non-linear fitting model.
