| | PI3K-gamma Selective Assay |
| Description: | A compound's ability in selectively inhibiting PI3K-γ can be assessed using RAW264.7 macrophages. Briefly, serum-starved RAW264.7 cells are stimulated with a known GPCR agonist C5a. See, e.g., Camps et al., Nature Medicine (2005) 11(9):936-943. Cells can be treated with test compounds prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to the stimulation by C5a. RAW 264.7 cells respond to the complement component fragment C5a through activation of the C5a receptor, and the C5a receptor activates macrophages and induces cell migration. Test compounds' ability to inhibit C5a-mediated AKT phosphorylation is indicative of selective inhibition of PI3K-γ. Thus, by monitoring the reduction of phospho-AKT in stimulated RAW 264.7 cells (using for example, phospho-AKT antibodies), a compound's potential efficacy in selectively inhibiting PI3Kγ can be assessed. |
