| Description: | In vitro GnRHr protein activity was tested by the following methods.This assay was used to determine the inhibition effect of the present compound on the activity of human GnRHr protein expressed by Human GnRHr/CHO stably transfected cell lines.1. Experimental Materials and Equipments1) Fluo-4 NW Calcium Assay Kits (F36206, Invitrogen)2) DMEM/F12 (SH30023.01B, Thermo)3) G418 (11811-031, Invitrogen)4) FlexStation3 Microplate Reader2. Experimental ProtocolA mammalian expression vector containing the human GnRHr gene was transferred into CHO cells by adding Lipofectamine LTX reagent containing Plus. Antibiotics were added the next day for screening to pick out the monoclonal cell lines.The Human GnRHr/CHO stably transfected cell lines were inoculated in 96-well plates with an inoculation density of 25,000 cells/well. The culture medium was removed the next day, and loading buffer containing Fluo-4 dye was added to the plate (100 μL/well) and incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. The plate was moved to room temperature and equilibrated for 10 minutes. Each compound was diluted with DMSO to seven concentration gradients of 100 μM, 10 μM, 1 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.001 μM, 0.0001 μM. Then, 1 μl of each gradient was added to each well and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. After automated addition of 50 μL of GnRH polypeptide stimulant solution, the value was immediately detected at 494/516 nM by a microplate reader (flexstation 3). IC50 values of the compounds were calculated by software from different fluorescence signals at various corresponding concentrations. |
