Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  HIF-1alpha transactivation assays
Description:  NIH3T3-EPO-luc cells were maintained at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FBS), and 1% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin. Deferoxamine (DFX) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (USA). Cells (1×104/well in 96-well plates) were seeded the day before the assay. The next day, the cells were stimulated with increasing concentrations of either Cannabidiol (CBD), VCE-004 or compounds II to X. After six hours of stimulation the cells were lysed in 25 mM Tris-phosphate pH 7.8, 8 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 1% Triton X-100, and 7% glycerol during 15 min at RT in a horizontal shaker. Luciferase activity was measured using a microplate luminometer (Berthold) following the instructions of the luciferase assay kit (Promega, Madison. Wis., USA).
