| Description: | Assay d) MDA-MB-468 cells (human breast adenocarcinoma ##ATCC HTB 132) were seeded at 1500 cells/well in 40 μl of DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1% glutamine into Greiner 384 well black flat-bottomed plates. Cell plates were incubated for 18 h in a 37° C. incubator before dosing with compounds of formula (I) in 100% DMSO using acoustic dispensing. Compounds were dosed in a 12 point concentration range into a randomised plate map. Control wells were generated either by dosing of 100% DMSO (max signal) or addition of a reference compound (a PI3K-β inhibitor) that completely eliminated the pAKT signal (min control). Plates were incubated, at 37° C. for 2 h, cells were then fixed by the addition of 10 μl of a 3.7% formaldehyde solution. After 30 minutes the plates were washed with PBS using a Tecan PW384 plate washer. Wells were blocked and cells permeabilised with the addition of 40 μl of PBS containing 0.5% Tween20 and 1% Marvel™ (dried milk powder) and incubated for 60 minutes at r.t. The plates were washed with PBS containing 0.5% (v/v) Tween20 and 20 μl rabbit anti-phospho AKT Ser473 (Cell Signalling Technologies, #3787) in same PBS-Tween+1% Marvel™ was added and incubated overnight at 4° C. Plates were washed 3 times with PBS 0.05% Tween 20 using a Tecan PW384. 20 μl of secondary antibody Alexa Fluor 488 anti-Rabbit (Molecular Probes, #A11008) diluted in PBS+0.05% Tween20 containing 1% Marvel™ was added to each well and incubated for 1 h at r.t. Plates were washed three times as before then 20 μl PBS added to each well and plates sealed with a black plate sealer. The plates were read on an Acumen plate reader as soon as possible, measuring green fluorescence after excitation with 488 nm laser. |
