Assay description: Compounds' Effects on AR Degradation in Cells
1.1 Assay for AR Degradation in VCaP Cells
Detection was performed using the HTRF Human Androgen Receptor Detection Kit. 4× Supplemented Lysis Buffer was prepared using 100× Blocking Reagent Stock Solution and 4× Lysis Buffer Stock Solution. 1× Supplemented Lysis Buffer was prepared using 4× Supplemented Lysis Buffer and ddH2O. Premixed antibody solutions were prepared using Detection Buffer, Androgen Receptor Eu Cryptate Antibody, and Androgen Receptor d2 Antibody. Well-grown VCaP cells were washed with PBS, trypsinized, and terminated with phenol red-free DMEM supplemented with 1% CSS-FBS. The cells were harvested and transferred to a centrifuge tube. The cell density was adjusted to 5 × 105 cells/mL and seeded onto a 96-well plate (100 μL/well). The cells were cultured overnight in a cell culture incubator. Compounds were then added using a nanoliter pipette, with a five-fold serial dilution to a final concentration of 100 nM to 0.032 nM in duplicate. A control was also included. After 24 hours of incubation in the cell culture incubator, the medium was aspirated and cells were lysed with 40 μL/well of 1× Supplemented Lysis Buffer. After shaking at room temperature for 40 minutes, 16 μL of the cell lysate was transferred to a 384-well plate. 4 μL/well of the premixed antibody solutions were added and the plates were incubated at 25°C for 2 hours. Fluorescence was measured at 665 nm/620 nm using an Envision microplate reader. Four-parameter analysis was performed, and dose-response curves were fitted to calculate DC50 and Dmax. The results are shown in Table 1.
