Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Cell Based Assays
Description:  The cellular potency of Compound 1 in suppressing intracellular 2-HG levels was determined in cell lines expressing five different mutated IDH-1 proteins found in human cancers (R132H, R132C, R132G, R132L, R132S). The human fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080 harbors a naturally occurring heterozygous IDH-1 R132C mutation. The human colorectal carcinoma cell line HCT 116 is wild type for IDH-1, but heterozygous mutations coding for IDH-1 R132H or R132C were introduced by knock-in into the endogenous IDH-1 gene locus. Finally, the human astrocytoma cell line U-87 MG is also wild type for IDH-1, but expression of five different mutated IDH-1 proteins was achieved by stable transfection.The parental HCT 116 line (colon) line does not produce high levels of 2-HG, but the variants used herein (X-MAN HCT-116 lines obtained from Horizon Discovery Ltd.) are engineered to knock-in a heterozygous mutation of either IDH-1 R132H or IDH-1 R132C. This recapitulates the cellular context in mIDH-1 cancer cells where there are both wild type and mutant IDH-1 subunits that together form a heterodimer that is responsible for the production of elevated levels of 2-HG. These modified lines can be used as models of IDH-1 mutant disease.
