Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Cellular 2-HG Assay Using HCT116 Mutant IDH1 Cells
Description:  HCT116 isogenic IDH1-R132H and IDH1-R132C mutant cells were cultured in growth media (McCoy's 5 A, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1× antibiotic-antimycotic solution and 0.3 mg/mL G418) in 5% CO2 in an incubator at 37° C. To prepare the assay, cells were trypsinized and resuspended in assay media (McCoy's 5 A with no L-glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1× antibiotic-antimycotic solution and 0.3 mg/mL G418). An aliquot of 10,000 cells/100 μL was transferred to each well of a clear 96-well tissue culture plate. The cells were incubated in 5% CO2 at 37° C. in an incubator overnight to allow for proper cell attachment. An aliquot of 50 μL of compound containing assay media were then added to each well and the assay plate was kept in 5% CO2 at 37° C. in an incubator for 24 hours. The media was then removed from each well and 150 μL of a methanol/water mixture (80/20 v/v) was added to each well. The plates were kept at −80° C. freezer overnight to allow for complete cell lysis. An aliquot of 125 μL of extracted supernatant was analyzed by RapidFire high-throughout-mass spectrometry (Agilent) to determine the cellular 2-HG level. The IC50 of a given compound was calculated by fitting the dose response curve of cellular 2-HG inhibition at a given concentration with the four parameter logistic equation.
