Methods for screening for inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are provided. These methods involve the addition of thapsigargin, which induces ER stress, and a test agent to mammalian cells in multi-well plates. Cell survival can be readily monitored by measuring intracellular ATP content using a bioluminescent reagent. Screening a commercially available library of 50,000 compounds led to the identification of 93 hit compounds that were subjected to secondary assays to confirm their ability to rescue cells from thapsigargin-induced cell death.
提供筛选内质网(ER)应激抑制剂的方法。这些方法涉及向多孔板的哺乳动物细胞中添加诱导ER应激的硫酸硫酯和测试试剂。通过使用生物发光试剂测量细胞内ATP含量,可以轻松监测细胞存活情况。通过筛选一个商业可用的50,000种化合物的库,确定了93种命中化合物,这些化合物经过二次检测,确认其能够拯救细胞免受硫酸硫酯诱导的细胞死亡的影响。
