| Description: | Monocytic THP-1 cells (ATCC: TIB-202) were maintained according to providers' instructions in RPMI media (RPMI/Hepes+10% fetal bovine serum+Sodium Pyruvate+0.05 mM Beta-mercaptoethanol (1000× stock)+Pen-Strep). Cells were differentiated in bulk with 0.5 μM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Sigma #P8139) for 3 hours, media was exchanged, and cells were plated at 50,000 cells per well in a 384-well flat-bottom cell culture plates (Greiner, #781986), and allowed to differentiate overnight. Compound in a 1:3.16 serial dilution series in DMSO was added 1:100 to the cells and incubated for 1 hour. The NLRP3 inflammasome was activated with the addition of 15 μM (final concentration) Nigericin (Enzo Life Sciences, #BML-CA421-0005), and cells were incubated for 3 hours. 10 μL supernatant was removed, and IL-1p levels were monitored using an HTRF assay (CisBio, #621L1PEC) according to manufacturers' instructions. Viability and pyroptosis was monitored with the addition of PrestoBlue cell viability reagent (Life Technologies, #A13261) directly to the cell culture plate. |
