Description: | Assay a) HT29 cells (ECACC #85061109) were seeded into 384 well assay plates (Costar #3712) at a density of 3500 cells/well in 40 μl EMEM medium containing 1% L glutamine and 10% FBS and allowed to adhere overnight. The following morning compounds of Formula (I) in 100% DMSO were added to assay plates by acoustic dispensing. After 1 h incubation at 37° C. and 5% CO2 plates (up to 6 at a time) were irradiated using the X-RAD 320 instrument (PXi) with equivalent to 600 cGy. Plates were returned to the incubator for a further 1 h. Then cells were fixed by adding 20 μl of 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS solution and incubating for 20 minutes at r.t. before being washed with 50 μl/well PBS, using a Biotek EL405 plate washer. Then 20 μ 0.1% Triton X100 in PBS was added and incubated for 20 minutes at r.t., to permeabalise cells. Then the plates were washed once with 50 μl/well PBS, using a Biotek EL405 plate washer. Phospho-ATM Ser1981 antibody (Millipore #MAB3806) was diluted 10000 fold in PBS containing 0.05% polysorbate/Tween and 3% BSA and 20 μl was added to each well and incubated over night at r.t. The next morning plates were washed three times with 50 μl/well PBS, using a Biotek EL405 plate washer, and then 20 μl of secondary Ab solution, containing 500 fold diluted Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat anti-rabbit IgG (Life Technologies, A11001) and 0.002 mg/ml Hoeschst dye (Life technologies #H-3570), in PBS containing 0.05% polysorbate/Tween and 3% BSA, was added. After 1 h incubation at r.t., the plates were washed three times with 50 μl/well PBS, using a Biotek EL405 plate washer, and plates were sealed and kept in PBS at 4° C. until read. Plates were read using an ArrayScan VTI instrument, using an XF53 filter with 10× objective. A two laser set up was used to analyse nuclear staining with Hoeschst (405 nm) and secondary antibody staining of pSer1981 (488 nm). |
