FLS-RA (6  105 cells/ml) were seeded into the 96-well plates, and all cells were pretreated with 10 ng/ml IL-1 for 8 h. When screening the suitable berberine (Shifeng, C20H18NO4) content, cells were grown in the mediums supplemented with various berberine doses (0, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μM) for 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h, respectively. When screening the appropriate LPA (Sigma, L7260) content, cells were planted in the medium containing various LPA doses (0, 5, and 10 μM) for 24 h, respectively. When selecting the suitable Ki16425 (Cayman, 10012659) content, cells were plated with various Ki16425 doses (0, 10, and 20 μM) for 24 h, respectively. Afterwards, the cells were incubated with berberine (12.5 and 25 μM) for 1 h and then treated with 10 μM LPA or Ki16425 for 24 h, so as to investigate the mechanism of berberine in inhibiting cell proliferation. Subsequently, the wells were incubated with 1 mg/ml MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; Sigma, m2128) at 37°C for 4 h, and then 100 μL dimethyl sulfoxide was added into each well. After the purple formazan crystals were completely dissolved, the optical density (OD) was measured at the wavelength of 490 nm.

Example 1

Binding test of GTPγS to LPA1 receptor

5 μg of the membrane fraction of RH 7777 cells expressed with human LPA1 receptor (A324, ChanTest) was suspended in a reaction buffer (20 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 μM GDP, 5 μg saponin, 0.2% BSA, 0.1 nM [35S]GTPγS (NEG030X, Perkin Elmer), pH 7.4), and the test compound dissolved in DMSO in various concentrations was added. After preincubation at 30° C. for 15 minutes, LPA (L7260, Sigma, the final concentration of 100 nM) was added, and the suspension was incubated at 30° C. for 30 minutes. The membrane fraction was collected onto a glass fiber filter (GF/B, Whatman) by using a cell harvester (M30, Brandel), and washed with a 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The radioactivity of the membrane fraction was measured using a liquid scintillation analyzer (2900TR, Packard) and the concentration of the test compound which inhibits the binding of LPA1 receptor and [35S]GTPγS by 50%, (IC50) was determined by non-linear regression analysis using EXSAS (version 7.6.0, Arm Systex).

The compound of the present invention showed the excellent activity in this test, and, for example, the IC50 values of Compound Nos. I-11, I-24, I-28, I-38, I-42, I-51, I-52, I-56, I-60, I-76, I-100, I-104, I-112, I-122, I-126, I-140, and I-152 were 200 nM or less.

Aortas were removed from Matrigel and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 2 h, and rinsed with blocking buffer (1× PBS + 10% horse serum + 0.3% Triton X-100). The aortas were incubated with primary antibody diluted in 1% BSA-PBS (v/w) (vWF—1:200, A0082; Dako), overnight at 4 °C, followed by two times rinsing with blocking buffer and a 2 h incubation with secondary antibody (1:500 in 1% BSA-PBS (v/w); Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-rabbit) at room temperature. After the final washes with blocking buffer, aortas were mounted in slides with in VECTASHIELD media with DAPI.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
