cAMP Assay: EP4 receptors couple to Gs and mediate elevations in cAMP concentration, although they do participate in other pathways as well. There are some redundancies in function between EP2 and EP4 receptors. For example, both receptors induce PGE2-mediated RANKL through cAMP.cAMP Assay: EP4 receptors couple to Gs and mediate elevations in cAMP concentration, although they do participate in other pathways as well.

Cell Based Assay: Ca2+ signaling studies were performed using a FLIPR TETRA system (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) in the 384-format. This is a high-throughput instrument for cell-based assays to monitor Ca2+ signaling associated with GPCRs and ion channels. Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells/well in BioCoat poly-D-lysine coated, black wall, clear bottom 384-well plates (BD Biosciences, Franklin lakes, NJ, USA) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. The cells were then washed twice with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks' balanced salt solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using an ELx405 Select CW Microplate Washer (BioTek, Winooski, Vt., USA). After 60 min of dye-loading in the dark using the Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4AM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA), at a final concentration of 2×10^−6M, the plates were washed 4 times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye and leaving 50 μl of buffer in each well. The plates were then placed in the FLIPR TETRA instrument and allowed to equilibrate at 37° C. AGN-211377 was added in a 25 μl volume to each well to give final concentrations of 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 10 μM, and 30 μM; or 0.067 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.2 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.67 μM, and 1 μM for cells over-expressing TP receptors. After 4.5 minutes, a 7-point serial dilution of the standard agonist for the corresponding receptor, in a 25 μl volume was injected at the final concentrations from 10^−11M to 10^−5M in 10-fold serial dilution increments for cells expressing human recombinant DP1, EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, FP, and IP receptors. The dose range for the standard agonist for human recombinant TP receptors was from 10^−12M to 10^−6M. HBSS-HEPES buffer was used as the negative control for the standard agonists. Cells were excited with LED (light emitting diode) excitation at 470-495 nm and emission was measured through an emission filter at 515-575 nm. Assay plates were read for 3.5 minutes using the FLIPRTETRA.Cell Based Assay: Ca2+ signaling studies were performed using a FLIPR TETRA system (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) in the 384-format.

Cell Based Assay: Ca2+ signaling studies were performed using a FLIPR TETRA system (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) in the 384-format. This is a high-throughput instrument for cell-based assays to monitor Ca2+ signaling associated with GPCRs and ion channels. Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells/well in BioCoat poly-D-lysine coated, black wall, clear bottom 384-well plates (BD Biosciences, Franklin lakes, NJ, USA) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. The cells were then washed twice with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks' balanced salt solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using an ELx405 Select CW Microplate Washer (BioTek, Winooski, Vt., USA). After 60 min of dye-loading in the dark using the Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4AM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA), at a final concentration of 2×10^−6M, the plates were washed 4 times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye and leaving 50 μl of buffer in each well. The plates were then placed in the FLIPR TETRA instrument and allowed to equilibrate at 37° C. AGN-211377 was added in a 25 μl volume to each well to give final concentrations of 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 10 μM, and 30 μM; or 0.067 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.2 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.67 μM, and 1 μM for cells over-expressing TP receptors. After 4.5 minutes, a 7-point serial dilution of the standard agonist for the corresponding receptor, in a 25 μl volume was injected at the final concentrations from 10^−11M to 10^−5M in 10-fold serial dilution increments for cells expressing human recombinant DP1, EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, FP, and IP receptors. The dose range for the standard agonist for human recombinant TP receptors was from 10^−12M to 10^−6M. HBSS-HEPES buffer was used as the negative control for the standard agonists. Cells were excited with LED (light emitting diode) excitation at 470-495 nm and emission was measured through an emission filter at 515-575 nm. Assay plates were read for 3.5 minutes using the FLIPRTETRA.Cell Based Assay: Ca2+ signaling studies were performed using a FLIPR TETRA system (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) in the 384-format.

The cells were then washed twice with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks' balanced salt solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using an ELx405 Select CW Microplate Washer (BioTek, Winooski, Vt., USA). After 60 min of dye-loading in the dark using the Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4AM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA), at a final concentration of 2×10^−6M, the plates were washed 4 times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye and leaving 50 μl of buffer in each well. The plates were then placed in the FLIPR TETRA instrument and allowed to equilibrate at 37° C. AGN-211377 was added in a 25 μl volume to each well to give final concentrations of 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 10 μM, and 30 μM; or 0.067 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.2 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.67 μM, and 1 μM for cells over-expressing TP receptors. After 4.5 minutes, a 7-point serial dilution of the standard agonist for the corresponding receptor, in a 25 μl volume was injected at the final concentrations from 10^−11M to 10^−5M in 10-fold serial dilution increments for cells expressing human recombinant DP1, EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, FP, and IP receptors. The dose range for the standard agonist for human recombinant TP receptors was from 10^−12M to 10^−6M. HBSS-HEPES buffer was used as the negative control for the standard agonists. Cells were excited with LED (light emitting diode) excitation at 470-495 nm and emission was measured through an emission filter at 515-575 nm. Assay plates were read for 3.5 minutes using the FLIPRTETRA.

Cell Based Assay: Ca2+ signaling studies were performed using a FLIPR TETRA system (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) in the 384-format. This is a high-throughput instrument for cell-based assays to monitor Ca2+ signaling associated with GPCRs and ion channels. Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells/well in BioCoat poly-D-lysine coated, black wall, clear bottom 384-well plates (BD Biosciences, Franklin lakes, NJ, USA) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. The cells were then washed twice with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks' balanced salt solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using an ELx405 Select CW Microplate Washer (BioTek, Winooski, Vt., USA). After 60 min of dye-loading in the dark using the Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4AM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA), at a final concentration of 2×10^−6M, the plates were washed 4 times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye and leaving 50 μl of buffer in each well. The plates were then placed in the FLIPR TETRA instrument and allowed to equilibrate at 37° C. AGN-211377 was added in a 25 μl volume to each well to give final concentrations of 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 10 μM, and 30 μM; or 0.067 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.2 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.67 μM, and 1 μM for cells over-expressing TP receptors. After 4.5 minutes, a 7-point serial dilution of the standard agonist for the corresponding receptor, in a 25 μl volume was injected at the final concentrations from 10^−11M to 10^−5M in 10-fold serial dilution increments for cells expressing human recombinant DP1, EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, FP, and IP receptors. The dose range for the standard agonist for human recombinant TP receptors was from 10^−12M to 10^−6M. HBSS-HEPES buffer was used as the negative control for the standard agonists. Cells were excited with LED (light emitting diode) excitation at 470-495 nm and emission was measured through an emission filter at 515-575 nm.

Cell Based Assay: Ca2+ signaling studies were performed using a FLIPR TETRA system (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) in the 384-format. This is a high-throughput instrument for cell-based assays to monitor Ca2+ signaling associated with GPCRs and ion channels. Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells/well in BioCoat poly-D-lysine coated, black wall, clear bottom 384-well plates (BD Biosciences, Franklin lakes, NJ, USA) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. The cells were then washed twice with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks' balanced salt solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using an ELx405 Select CW Microplate Washer (BioTek, Winooski, Vt., USA). After 60 min of dye-loading in the dark using the Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4AM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA), at a final concentration of 2×10^−6M, the plates were washed 4 times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye and leaving 50 μl of buffer in each well. The plates were then placed in the FLIPR TETRA instrument and allowed to equilibrate at 37° C. AGN-211377 was added in a 25 μl volume to each well to give final concentrations of 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 10 μM, and 30 μM; or 0.067 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.2 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.67 μM, and 1 μM for cells over-expressing TP receptors. After 4.5 minutes, a 7-point serial dilution of the standard agonist for the corresponding receptor, in a 25 μl volume was injected at the final concentrations from 10^−11M to 10^−5M in 10-fold serial dilution increments for cells expressing human recombinant DP1, EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, FP, and IP receptors. The dose range for the standard agonist for human recombinant TP receptors was from 10^−12M to 10^−6M. HBSS-HEPES buffer was used as the negative control for the standard agonists. Cells were excited with LED (light emitting diode) excitation at 470-495 nm and emission was measured through an emission filter at 515-575 nm.

Cell membranes were dispensed into white 384-well microplates at final concentration of 1 ug/well and used for the determination of cAMP with the alphascreen cAMP functional assay (EnVision-PerkinElmer). Cell membrane/anti-cAMP Acceptor beads mix (5 ul) and a mixture of analysed compounds (dissolved in 100% DMSO to a final maximal concentration of 0.01% DMSO)/PGE2 (5 ul) were incubated at room temperature (22-23° C.) for 30 min in the dark. The Biotinylated-cAMP and donor beads (15 ul) were dispensed into each well to start the competition reaction.

Cell membranes were dispensed into white 384-well microplates at final concentration of 1 ug/well and used for the determination of cAMP with the alphascreen cAMP functional assay (EnVision-PerkinElmer). Cell membrane/anti-cAMP Acceptor beads mix (5 ul) and a mixture of analysed compounds (dissolved in 100% DMSO to a final maximal concentration of 0.01% DMSO)/PGE2 (5 ul) were incubated at room temperature (22-23° C.) for 30 min in the dark. The Biotinylated-cAMP and donor beads (15 ul) were dispensed into each well to start the competition reaction.cAMPFunctional Assay: The assay is based on the competition between endogenous cAMP and exogenously added biotinylated cAMP.

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor).

EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).Note here that the antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect.EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2. Detection Method5.2.1. Test for Antagonism (Figures Per Well of a 384-Well Plate):4 μl of a cAMP-d2/cell suspension (625 000 cells/ml) were added to a test plate with the substance solutions (0.05 μl; 100% DMSO, concentration range 0.8 nM-16.5 μM) already charged. After 20 minutes of pre-incubation at room temperature (RT), 2 μl of a 3×PGD2 solution (6 nM, in PBS-IBMX) were added and the mixture was incubated in the presence of the agonist for a further 30 min at RT (volume: 6 μl). The reaction was then stopped by addition of 2 μl of lysis buffer and the mixture was incubated at RT for a further 20 min prior to the actual measurement (volume: 8 μl).Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP.

EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).Note here that the antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect.EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al.

In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2. Detection Method5.2.1.

After 20 minutes of pre-incubation at room temperature (RT), 2 μl of a 3×PGD2 solution (6 nM, in PBS-IBMX) were added and the mixture was incubated in the presence of the agonist for a further 30 min at RT (volume: 6 μl).

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2.

EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).Note here that the antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect.EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2.

EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).Note here that the antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect.EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2. Detection Method5.2.1.

After 20 minutes of pre-incubation at room temperature (RT), 2 μl of a 3×PGD2 solution (6 nM, in PBS-IBMX) were added and the mixture was incubated in the presence of the agonist for a further 30 min at RT (volume: 6 μl).

EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).Note here that the antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect.EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al.

Cultured subconfluent cells were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) in a concentration of 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).The antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect.EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement Experiment Using Prostanoid Receptor Subtype Expressing CellsCHO cells expressing rat EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2. Detection Method5.2.1.

After 20 minutes of pre-incubation at room temperature (RT), 2 μl of a 3×PGD2 solution (6 nM, in PBS-IBMX) were added and the mixture was incubated in the presence of the agonist for a further 30 min at RT (volume: 6 μl).

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2.

EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement: CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2.

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2. Detection Method5.2.1.

After 20 minutes of pre-incubation at room temperature (RT), 2 μl of a 3×PGD2 solution (6 nM, in PBS-IBMX) were added and the mixture was incubated in the presence of the agonist for a further 30 min at RT (volume: 6 μl).

Detection of the Antagonism of the Human Prostaglandin D Receptor Signal: 5. 1 Detection PrincipleBinding of prostaglandin D2 to the human PGD receptor induces activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases and leads to the formation of cAMP. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the cAMP which has accumulated as a result of this stimulation and is released by cell lysis is employed in a competitive detection method. In this test, the cAMP present in the lysate competes with a fluorescently labelled cAMP (cAMP-d2) for binding to an anti-cAMP antibody labelled with an Eu cryptate.The absence of cellular cAMP leads to a maximum signal owing to this cAMP-d2 molecule binding to the antibody. Excitation of the cAMP-d2 molecule at 337 nm leads to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the Eu cryptate molecules of the anti-cAMP antibody (labelled therewith), followed by a long-lasting emission signal at 665 nm (and also at 620 nM). The two signals are measured in a suitable measuring device in a time-resolved manner, i.e. once the background fluorescence has subsided. Any increase of the low FRET signal owing to prostglandin E2 administration (measured as change in the well ratio=emission665nm/emission620nm*10 000) indicates the action of antagonists.5.2.

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor).

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor). The peak fluorescence change in each drug-containing well was then expressed relative to the controls.FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C.

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor).

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor).

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor). The peak fluorescence change in each drug-containing well was then expressed relative to the controls.FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C.

Binding Assay: Transfected HEK 293(ebna) cells are maintained in culture, harvested and membranes are prepared by differential centrifugation, following lysis of the cells in the presence of protease inhibitors, for use in receptor binding assays. Prostanoid receptor binding assays (for DPI, DP2 (CRTH2), EPl, EP2, EP3-III, EP4, FP, IP, and TP) are performed in 10 mM MES/KOH (pH 6.0) (EPs, FP and TP) or 10 mM HEPES/KOH (pH 7.4) (DPs and IP), containing 1 mM EDTA, 2.5-30 mM divalent cation and the appropriate radioligand. Synthetic compounds are added in dimethylsulfoxide which is kept constant at 1 % (v/v) in all incubations. The reaction is initiated by addition of membrane protein. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of 10 uM of the corresponding non-radioactive prostanoid . Incubations are conducted for 60-90 min at room temperature or 30 0C and terminated by rapid filtration. Specific binding is calculated by subtracting non specific binding from total binding.Binding Assay: Transfected HEK 293(ebna) cells are maintained in culture, harvested and membranes are prepared by differential centrifugation, following lysis of the cells in the presence of protease inhibitors, for use in receptor binding assays.

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor).

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor). The peak fluorescence change in each drug-containing well was then expressed relative to the controls.FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C.

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor). The peak fluorescence change in each drug-containing well was then expressed relative to the controls.FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C.

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor).

FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C. Cells were then washed two times with HBSS-HEPES buffer (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution without bicarbonate and phenol red, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) using a Denley Cellwash plate washer (Labsystems). After 45 minutes of dye-loading in the dark, using the calcium-sensitive dye Fluo-4 AM at a final concentration of 2 mM, plates were washed four times with HBSS-HEPES buffer to remove excess dye leaving 100 ml in each well. Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor). The peak fluorescence change in each drug-containing well was then expressed relative to the controls.FLIPR Assay: Cells were seeded at a density of 5×104 cells per well in Biocoat® Poly-D-lysine-coated black-wall, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Becton-Dickinson) and allowed to attach overnight in an incubator at 37° C.

Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor). The peak fluorescence change in each drug-containing well was then expressed relative to the controls.

Radioligand Binding Assay: The cell homogenate was centrifuged at 19000 r.p.m. for 20 min at 4° C. using a Beckman Ti-60 rotor. The resultant pellet was resuspended in TME buffer to give a final 1 mg/ml protein concentration, as determined by Biorad assay. Radioligand binding competition assays vs. [3H-]17-phenyl PGF2a , (5 nM) were performed in a 100 μl volume for 60 min. Binding reactions were started by adding plasma membrane fraction. The reaction was terminated by the addition of 4 ml ice-cold TRIS-HCl buffer and rapid filtration through glass fiber GF/B filters using a Brandel cell harvester.

Plates were re-equilibrated to 37° C. for a few minutes.Cells were excited with an Argon laser at 488 nm, and emission was measured through a 510-570 nm bandwidth emission filter (FLIPR™, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Drug solution was added in a 50 μl volume to each well to give the desired final concentration. The peak increase in fluorescence intensity was recorded for each well. On each plate, four wells each served as negative (HBSS-HEPES buffer) and positive controls (standard agonists: BW245C (hDP); PGE2 (hEP1; hEP2/Gqs5; hEP3A/Gqi5; hEP4/Gqs5); PGF2a (hFP); carbacyclin (hIP); U-46619 (hTP), depending on receptor). The peak fluorescence change in each drug-containing well was then expressed relative to the controls.
