Abstract

Inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases are implicated as therapeutic agents for the treatment of many human diseases including cancer, inflammation and diabetes. Cell-based assays to examine inhibition of receptor tyrosine kinase mediated intracellular signaling are often laborious and not amenable to high-throughput cell-based screening of compound libraries. Here we describe the development of a nonradioactive, sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to quantify the activation and inhibition of ligand-induced phosphorylation of the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R) in 96-well microtiter plate format. The assay involves the capture of the Triton X-100 solubilized human CSF-1R, from HEK293E cells overexpressing histidine epitope-tagged CSF-1R (CSF-1R/HEK293E), with immobilized CSF-1R antibody and detection of phosphosphorylation of the activated receptor with a phosphotyrosine specific antibody. The assay exhibited a 5-fold increase in phosphorylated CSF-1R signal from CSF-1R/HEK293E cells treated with colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) relative to treated vector control cells. Additionally, using a histidine epitope-specific capture antibody, this method can also be adapted to quantify the phosphorylatio...Continue Reading

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
