| | RORgamma Reporter Assay (Gal4) |
| Description: | The HEK293 cell line is co-transfected transiently with two plasmids, one with the RORγ ligand-binding domain fused to galactose-responsive transcription factor (Gal4), and the other with the luciferase reporter gene and Gal binding sites (UAS). This construction allows to determine the RORγ activity in a cellular system through the measurement of luminescence. A suspension of RORγ reporter cells was dispensed into plates and cultured 2 h at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Media formulation consisted in DMEM/F-12 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS (Sigma-Aldrich), non-essential aminoacids (Sigma-Aldrich), 2 mM Glutamax (Gibco) and 100 U/mL penicillin (Sigma-Aldrich). Dose-response curves with compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO and further diluted 100-fold in culture medium. Compound solutions were added to the plate containing cells (final DMSO concentration of 0.1%) and incubated for 24 h at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Luciferase detection reagent was added to each well, and relative light units (RLUs) were quantified from each assay well using a plate reading luminometer.Values of average RLUħS.D. were computed for all treatment sets, followed by the calculations of percent-reduction of RORγ activity in response to respective test compound. The following formula was used: activity=100*[1−[x test compound/average vehicle] where the theoretical minimum reduction (0% reduction). For all experiments, the activity values were plotted versus compound concentrations in one single plot and adjusted to a four-parameter logistic curve to obtain the absolute EC50 value along with the 95% confidence interval. These calculations were performed in excel-fit software using X-204 model curve. |
