Miniaturization and HTS of a FRET-based membrane potential assay for K(ir) channel inhibitors. | LitMetric

Miniaturization and HTS of a FRET-based membrane potential assay for K(ir) channel inhibitors.

Automated Biotechnology, Merck Research Laboratories, North Wales, PA 19454, USA.

Published: April 2008

The K(ir) family of potassium-selective ion channels is characterized by their inward (anomalous) rectifying current-voltage relationship. K(ir) channels are widely expressed in mammalian cells and through their role in regulation of the cell membrane potential have been implicated in diverse physiological functions. To enable the identification of novel K(ir) channel inhibitors, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based membrane potential assay was developed using a Chinese hamster ovary cell line stably expressing a human K(ir) channel. The FRET-based assay incorporates the use of two dyes {N-(6-chloro-7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carbonyl)-dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (CC2-DMPE) and bis(1,3-diethylthiobarbiturate)trimethine oxonol [DiSBAC(2)(3)]} to track changes in membrane potential, thus enabling all of the advantages of ratiometric readout: reduced inaccuracies arising from well-to-well variation in cell number, dye loading, signal intensities, and plate inconsistencies. The assay was miniaturized to a 1,536-well microtiter plate format and read on a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR(Tetra), Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). The assay was automated and utilized to perform a primary high-throughput screening campaign to identify novel inhibitors of the K(ir) channel.
