| Description: | Test Example 1: (1) The TRPV4 inhibitory activity was measured using CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human TRPV4 (hTRPV4/CHO cells). (2) In the day before the experimental day, frozen cell were thawed and washed with the culture medium (MEM-α, 10% FBS, 2 mmol/L GlutaMax, 50 unit Penicillin, 50 μg/mL Streptomycin). Then cells were suspended in the culture medium. (3) The 384-well plates which hTRPV4/CHO cells were seeded at densities of 4000 cells/well in the culture medium and cultured in a CO2 incubator in the presence of 5% CO2 at 37° C. for overnight was used as assay plates. (4) The assay plate was washed with assay buffer (Hanks, 20 mmol/L HEPES, 2.5 mmol/L probenecid, pH7.4), and the buffer were remained at 20 μL/well. (5) 10 μl of dye loading buffer (9 μmol/L Fluo 4-AM, 0.09% Pluronic F-127/assay buffer) was added to each well, then the assay plate was incubated in a CO2 incubator in the presence of 5% CO2 at 37° C. for one hour. (final 3 μmol/L Fluo4-AM). (6) The assay plate was washed with the assay buffer, and the buffers were remained at 20 μL/well. Then the assay plate was incubated for 10 min at room temperature. (7) Diluted compound solution was dispensed to each well in the compound plate, and mixed with built-in Pipette and Mixer of the Fluorescence analysis system FLIPR TETRA (Molecular devices). (8) After incubation for 5 min, 20 μL of 4α-PDD solution were applied to each well of assay plate and mixed with the FLIPR TETRA. (final 1 mol/L 4α-PDD). (9) The fluorescent intensity was measured with FLIPR TETRA system for 10 min from the point of time addition the compound solution, at Ex 470-495 nm, Em 515-575 nm wavelength. |
