Descrizione generale
Millipore′s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.
The tachykinin peptide family in mammals comprises three peptides, substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B, which bind to the tachykinin receptor family of GPCRs, NK1, NK2 and NK3 (Severini et al., 2002). Tachykinins have prominent activity in the GI system, in which they stimulate intestinal contraction and salivation. These effects are mediated by NK1 and NK2, and an antagonist of NK1, aprepitant, is used for treatment of chemotherapy-induced emesis (Rupniak and Kramer, 1999). The NK1 tachykinin receptor is expressed in brain, and is thought to be involved in depression and nociception (Saria, 1999). Although NK1 appears to promote nociception in animal models, the significance of this activity is controversial, as antagonists of NK1 have not proven efficacious in pain relief in humans (Hill, 2000). Millipore′s cloned human NK1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant NK1 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for antagonists of interactions between NK1 and its ligands.
