GloSensor cAMP assay

The GloSensor cAMP assay was conducted per manufacturer's protocol (Promega). In brief, ChoK1 human GLP-1R/GIPR-expressing cells were seeded at 15,000 cells per well in a 96 well plate and incubated for 16 hours in a humidified 37° C., 5% CO2 incubator. Cells were transiently transfected with 100 ng pGloSensor −22F cAMP plasmid using FuGENE HD for 24 hours. Cells were then equilibrated with 0.1% BSA, 2% GloSensor cAMP reagent in CO2 independent media (Invitrogen) for 2 hours at room temperature. Cells were preincubated for 15 min with or without 0.43 M sucrose (Sigma). Basal luminescence measurements were taken for 10 minutes prior to addition of 1248 in conditions with or without sucrose. Immediately following addition of 1248, kinetic luminescence was measured using an integration time of 0.1-1 second every 60 seconds. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism software and presented in FIG. 26.

MEG-01 or other indicated cell types, seeded in white walled, clear bottom 96-well plate were stimulated with test substances in Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS) including 1.8 mM CaCl2 and 10 mM glucose for 15 min at 37°C. Intracellular cAMP concentrations were determined by using an homogenous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF)-based cAMP assay (Cisbio) following manufacturer’s instructions.
In case of heterologously expressed receptors, intracellular cAMP levels were measured by coexpression of a plasmid encoding a cytosolic cAMP-sensitive bioluminescent probe (GloSensor cAMP Assay, Promega). Forty-eight hours after transfection of receptors and cAMP probe, cells were removed from the incubator and medium was changed to HBSS containing 1.8 mM CaCl2, 10 mM glucose and 2% (v/v) of GloSensor cAMP reagent. Two hours after of incubation in dark at room temperature, intracellular cAMP was estimated in the “kinetic” mode by continuously recording the light produced over indicated time following ligand stimulation. For “end-point” determination, cells were stimulated with indicated ligands, and light generated was measured 15 minutes later with an integration time of 1250 ms. In both cases, light was recorded by a 96-well plate reader (Flexstation 3, Molecular Devices) and results were evaluated by SoftMaxPro software (Molecular Devices).

The changes in the intracellular cAMP concentration of pigment-expressing HEK293S cells were measured using the GloSensor cAMP assay (Promega), as previously reported13 (link),29 (link). Briefly, cDNAs of lamprey bPPL were tagged with the epitope sequence for the monoclonal Rho1D4 antibody (ETSQVAPA). Tagged cDNA was inserted into the plasmid vector, pcDNA3.1 (Invitrogen). The expression constructs for bPPL were co-transfected with the pGloSensor-22F cAMP plasmid (Promega), and the transfected cells were incubated overnight in culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) with 11-cis-retinal. Before the measurement, culture medium was replaced with a CO2-independent medium containing 10% FBS and 2% GloSensor cAMP Reagent (Promega). After equilibration with the medium and obtention of a steady basal signal, the cells were treated with 3.5 μM forskolin, a direct activator of adenylyl cyclase, to increase the intracellular cAMP levels. Luminescence, representing the amount of cAMP, was measured at 25 °C using a GloMax 20/20n Luminometer (Promega). To measure the light-induced change in cAMP levels, the transfected cells were irradiated with blue LED light for 5 sec. The relative response curve of lamprey bPPL was analysed using the GloSensor cAMP assay without forskolin following the previously described method29 (link).

The GloSensor cAMP assay was performed according to the instructions of Promega. AD293 cells were split into 6-well plate (300,000 cells/mL) and then transfected with the pGloSensor™-22F cAMP plasmid and pcDNA3-GPR3 plasmid by Lipofectamine 2000, at a ratio of 2:1 (μL:μg). 24 h after transfection, cells were split into 96-well plate for another 24 h incubation. After removal of cell medium, 90 μL of 3% v/v (the GloSensor cAMP reagent vs serum-free medium) substrate was added into each well. After 2 h incubation at RT, background measurements were taken, and then 10 μL 10× stock compounds were added for the second measurements of ligand activation via EnVision 2105 (PerkinElmer). Relative cAMP level was calculated by the cAMP level after addition of ligand divided by the cAMP level before addition of ligand (basal level). Stock FAs (i.e., 10–50 mM) were solubilized in DMSO, then diluted in cell culture buffer to designated concentrations and sonicated to ensure that they were evenly distributed in the buffer before being added to cells.
