LTB4R1抑制剂筛选方法的建立及评价

Establishment and evaluation of in vitro screen model for LTB4 receptor 1

  • 摘要: ω6脂肪酸代谢产物白三烯B4 (LTB4) 的受体白三烯B4受体1 (LTB4R1) 属于G蛋白耦联受体(GPCR) 家族, 是胰岛素抵抗、慢性炎症和2型糖尿病的潜在药物作用靶点。本文根据GPCR家族蛋白激活后可以引起细胞质内钙离子升高的原理, 建立了96孔板体系LTB4R1抑制剂筛选模型。胞质内钙离子探针Fluo-8可以表征细胞质内的钙离子变化, 当共转染LTB4R1和G蛋白α亚基16 (Gα16) 的仓鼠卵巢癌细胞(CHO) 受到LTB4刺激后, 胞浆钙离子浓度升高, Fluo-8的荧光信号随之增强。LTB4R1抑制剂处理细胞后, Fluo-8的荧光信号减弱。本文以0.2% DMSO为阴性对照, LTB4R1抑制剂cp-105696为阳性对照建立筛选模型。经LTB4刺激后, 0.2% DMSO处理的细胞Fluo-8信号上升约2倍后缓慢回落, 而cp-105696处理组则抑制LTB4的作用。LTB4和抑制剂cp-105696浓度梯度实验表明, Fluo-8的荧光信号升高幅度和抑制剂的浓度成反比, 可以作为评价待测化合物的抑制效果的指标。多次重复实验计算所得阳性与阴性对照Z'因子为0.777, 证明该筛选模型稳定可靠。本文采用蛋白过表达方式在CHO细胞中构建了LTB4R1-内质网钙的信号通路, 并在此基础上建立了通过检测钙信号强度来筛选化合物对LTB4R1抑制活性的体系。本方法可用于LTB4R1抑制剂先导化合物的体外初步筛选, 为后续体内研究奠定基础。

     

    Abstract: The GPCR family component leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (LTB4R1) is the receptor of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), the metabolic product of ω6 fatty acid. LTB4R1 is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and type 2 diabetes. Here we established a LTB4R1 inhibitor screen model based on the GPCR family protein property that its activation causes the cytosolic escalation of calcium. The cytosolic calcium probe Fluo-8 represents the change of calcium ion. After adding LTB4, the fluorescent signal of Fluo-8 in the CHO cells which are co-transfected with LTB4R1 and Gα16 will change with the increase of cytosolic calcium, and LTB4R1 inhibitor blocked the effect of LTB4 on fluorescent signal of Fluo-8 in the CHO cells. Here, we used 0.2% DMSO as a negative control, and cp-105696 as a positive control in the screen model. After stimulation with LTB4, the Fluo-8 signal in 0.2% DMSO treated CHO cells increased 2 fold and fell back slowly, while the signal in inhibitor (cp-105696) treated cells was not induced by LTB4. The results showed that LTB4 increased the cytosolic calcium detected by Fluo-8 in a dose dependent manner. Similarly, cp-105696 inhibited the Fluo-8 signal dose dependently, indicating that this method can quantify the inhibitory activity of the compounds. The Z'-factor, reflecting the robustness of the screen model, was 0.777 with a series of experiments. In sum, we over-expressed LTB4R1α and Gα16 in CHO cell, used Fluo-8 to detect the calcium signal activated by LTB4, and established the in vitro screen model for LTB4 receptor 1.
