| | Cell free binding to the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) in LanthaScreen TR-FRET GR Competitive Binding Assay |
| Description: | To evaluate the ability of novel steroids to bind to the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR), a cell-free binding assay was performed using a LanthaScreen TR-FRET GR Competitive Binding Assay kit (Life Technologies, Cat #A15901). The assay was performed according to the manufacturer's instruction. Budesonide is a commercial GR steroid and was used as a reference control in the binding assay and other cell based assays described later in the document. Briefly, a threefold serial dilution of budesonide and the derivative compounds noted below were prepared in 100% DMSO starting at 100 nM (100× of final). Serial dilutions were further diluted 50-fold in nuclear receptor buffer F with 5 mM DTT and 0.1 mM stabilizing peptide, and transferred to a 384-well assay plate. Next, Fluormone GS1 Green, GR-LBD (GST) and Tb anti-GST antibody were sequentially added to the 384-well assay plate. The plate was analyzed on an Envision Multilabel Plate Reader (PerkinElmer) with excitation set at 340 nm and emission filters at 520 nm and 486 nm. The FRET ratio was calculated as 520 nm/486 nm. The IC50 values were determined using a four-parameter logistic equation over a 12-point response curve (GraphPad Prism). |
