Intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization is a useful readout to screen for agonists or antagonists of G-protein -coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we describe methods to conduct high-throughput screening of stably or transiently transfected HTC4 cells expressing the individual S1P1-5 receptor subtypes. The cells are grown in 96-well plates and loaded with the cell permeable fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator dye Fura-2-AM. Changes in intracellular Ca(2+) levels in response to S1P or test compounds are detected using a FlexStation II scanning fluorometer with integrated fluidics transfer capabilities.
细胞内钙离子动员是筛选G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)激动剂或拮抗剂的一种有用的检测方法。在此,我们描述了对稳定或瞬时转染表达单个S1P1 - 5受体亚型的HTC4细胞进行高通量筛选的方法。细胞在96孔板中培养,并加载可透过细胞的荧光钙指示剂染料Fura - 2 - AM。使用具有集成流体转移功能的FlexStation II扫描荧光计检测对S1P或测试化合物作出反应时细胞内钙离子水平的变化。
