Assay: Thallium Flux Assay: Solutions and reagents: Thallium flux assay was performed using FluxOR kit (F10017, Life Technologies). Loading buffer, assay buffer and stimulus buffer were prepared using kit components. HBSS (Hank's balanced salt solution, Cat #14025-092) was purchased separately from Life Technologies.To prepare 10 ml of loading buffer: 10 μl of FluxOR dye (reconstituted in DMSO) was first added to 100 μl of powerload concentrate and this mix along with 100 μl of Probenicid (100×) was then added to 9.79 ml of HBSS. Assay buffer (10 ml) was prepared by addition of 2 ml of FluxOR chloride free buffer (5×), 100 μl of Probenicid (100×), and 0.2 ml of Ouabain (13.77 mM) to 7.7 ml of deionized water. Stimulus buffer was composed of 15 mM Tl2SO4, 0.75 mM K2SO4 in FluxOR chloride free buffer (diluted to 1× using deionized water). The final concentration of Tl2SO4 and K2SO4 in the assay plate was 3 mM and 0.15 mM, respectively.Plating and induction of cells: The CHO T-Rex hROMK (human Kir1.1) stable cell line was maintained in Ham's F12 media supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin, 500 μg/ml Zeocin and 10 μg/ml Blasticidin at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 incubator. One day before the experiment, the cells were dissociated by incubation with Versene solution (15040-066, Life Technologies) for 10 minutes at 37° C. followed by addition of growth media. The cell suspension was centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 min. After discarding the supernatant, the cells were resuspended in fresh growth media and cell concentration was determined using a hemocytometer. Next, 0.5 μg/ml of Doxycycline was added to the cell suspension to induce hROMK channel expression and 50 μl (10,000 cells/well) of cell suspension was added to each well of a poly-D lysine coated 384 well black, optically clear bottom plate (6007718, Perkin Elmer). The assay plate was kept at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 incubator.Assay protocol: On the day of experiment, media was removed and loading buffer was added (30 μl/well) to the assay plate. The cells were incubated in the loading buffer for 30 minutes at 37° C. The loading buffer was then replaced by assay buffer (30 μl/well) followed by addition of test compounds or controls. The cells were incubated with compounds for 30 minutes and the plate was then mounted on FlexStation (Molecular Devices) for fluorescence read out with excitation and emission wavelengths at 488 and 525 nm, respectively. Each well was read for 90 sec at 2 sec interval and the stimulus buffer was added after 20 seconds of baseline recording. The final DMSO concentration was either 0.5 or 1% in the assay plate. Positive and negative controls were defined by addition of DMSO or 3 μM of a standard ROMK inhibitor, respectively, to the wells instead of a test compound.Data analysis: The slope (over a period of 15 seconds) of fluorescence increase after stimulus buffer addition was exported from SoftMax Pro into a custom made software where it was converted to % inhibition. A 10-point concentration response curve was used to estimate the IC50 value of test compounds.
