High-throughput screening for ion channel modulators.
Ion channels present a group of targets for major clinical indications, which have been difficult to address due to the lack of suitable rapid but biologically significant methodologies. To address the need for increased throughput in primary screening, the authors have set up a Beckman/Sagian core system to fully automate functional fluorescence-based assays that measure ion channel function. ...
متن کاملHigh-throughput screening for modulators of cellular contractile force.
When cellular contractile forces are central to pathophysiology, these forces comprise a logical target of therapy. Nevertheless, existing high-throughput screens are limited to upstream signalling intermediates with poorly defined relationships to such a physiological endpoint. Using cellular force as the target, here we report a new screening technology and demonstrate its applications using ...
متن کاملA cell-based bar code reader for high-throughput screening of ion channel-ligand interactions.
This paper presents a microfluidics-patch clamp platform for performing high-throughput screening and rapid characterization of weak-affinity ion channel-ligand interactions. This platform integrates a microfluidic chip consisting of multiple channels entering an open volume with standard patch clamp equipment. The microfluidic chip is placed on a motorized scanning stage and the method relies ...
متن کاملVariability in high-throughput ion-channel screening data and consequences for cardiac safety assessment
INTRODUCTION Unwanted drug interactions with ionic currents in the heart can lead to an increased pro-arrhythmic risk to patients in the clinic. It is therefore a priority for safety pharmacology teams to detect block of cardiac ion channels, and new technologies have enabled the development of automated and high-throughput screening assays using cell lines. As a result of screening multiple io...
متن کاملNew strategy for high throughput screening of anti-influenza virus M2 ion channel inhibitors.
Since the recent emergence of swine and avian flu, there has been a sense of urgency to discover new anti-influenza drugs. In this study, a stable cell line with M2 ion channel/ enhanced Green fluorescent protein (EGFP) co-expression was established in order to develop an EGFP-based high-throughput assay for screening M2 ion channel inhibitors. This assay directly monitors the proton conductivi...
