| Description: | Inhibition of SHP-2 activity by small molecule inhibitors was monitored by a biochemical DiFMUP pseudosubstrate-fluorogenic assay. SHP-2 enzyme at final concentration of 0.2 nM was incubated with an IRS-1 activator peptide at a final concentration of 1 μM in SHP-2 assay buffer (60 mM HEPES, pH 7.2-7.5, 0.05% Tween-20, 75 mM NaCl, 75 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, and 5 mM DTT) for 75 min at room temperature. The reaction mix was added to the 384-well non-binding plate which had been pre-spotted with 1:3 serial diluted compounds from 10,000-0.005 nM, and incubated at room temperature for 90 min. DiFMUP substrate at final concentration of 50 μM was then added to the wells and incubated for additional 30 min at room temperature. The final reaction volume was 20 μl/well. The fluorescence intensity of the reaction product was measured by Envision at excitation and emission wavelengths of 340 nm and 450 nm, respectively. The inhibitor dose response curves were generated using normalized IC50 regression curve fitting by in house dose response analysis tools. The wells with DMSO vehicle were used as controls (100% signal). The percent (%) control of SHP-2 compound was calculated as: (Compound well fluorescence counts/DMSO fluorescence counts)×100%. |
