| Description: | CHO-K1 EDG2 cells (DiscoverX cat #93-0644C2) expressing human LPAR1 (NM_001401.3) were seeded in a total volume of 25 μL of Dulbecco's Modification of Eagle's Medium (DMEM) with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, 1× PenStrepGlutamine, 300 μg/ml Hygromycin, and 800 μg/ml G418 into 384-well tissue culture plate (Grenier #781091) at 15,000 cells/well and incubated at 37° C. overnight. Prior to testing, 25 μL Calcium Loading Dye Component A (FLIPR Calcium 6 Assay Kit Molecular Device #R8190) and 2.5 mM Probenecid (Invitrogen #P36400, prepared fresh) in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (Corning #21-023-CV), 20 mM HEPES (Corning #25-060-CI), 0.1% Bovine Serum Albumin (Sigma-Aldrich #A7906-500G) was add to the cells for 60 minutes at 37° C.Agonist dose curves of LPA 18:2 (Avanti Polar Lipids cat #857138, 0.5 nM to 10 μM) were recorded to determine the LPA 18:2 EC80 for subsequent antagonist assays. For agonist dose curves, cells were removed from the incubator 2 hours after dye loading and transferred to the FLIPR Tetra instrument (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA). Calcium mobilization was monitored for 5 min and 10 μL 6×LPA in HBSS/20 mM Hepes/0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) was added to the cells 5 seconds into the assay.To determine the LPAR1 antagonist activity of test compounds, cells were pre-incubated with test compound at a dose range of 0.5 nM to 10 μM, followed by LPA at EC80 concentration (100 nM). After dye loading, cells were removed from the incubator and 0.3 μL of 200× antagonist was added. Cells were incubated for 60 minutes at 37° C. Antagonist activity was measured on a FLIPR Tetra. Calcium mobilization was monitored for 3.5 minutes and 10 μL 6× EC80 LPA in HBSS, 20 mM HEPES, and 0.1% BSA was added to the cells 5 seconds into the assay. Signal amplitude (Maximum minus minimum) values were plotted against log10 of antagonist concentration using Dose Response T |
