PF670462 suppresses IgE-mediated degranulation in BMMCs generated from wild-type mice.

PF670462 or corticosterone (CORT) was added to the culture of BMMCs derived from C57BL6 mice at 72 hours after the media change for synchronization as described in Fig. 1A. Fifteen or 240 minutes after the addition of PF670462 or CORT, the wild-type BMMCs were sensitized with IgE and stimulated with anti-IgE antibody. Following the activation, IgE-mediated release of -hexosaminidase was evaluated in wild-type BMMCs pretreated with PF670462 or CORT for 15 or 240 minutes (n = 3). Values represent means±SD. *p0.05

PF670462 and corticosterone do not affect the viability of BMMCs.

Wild-type PER2LUC BMMCs (1 x 105 cells/well) were cultured with or without the indicated concentrations of PF670462 (A) or corticosterone (CORT) (B) for 24 hours in a 96-well microtiter plate. The cell viability was then determined by trypan blue dye exclusion(n = 3).Values represent means ± SD.

Figure E3

PF670462 and corticosterone do not affect the base-line cellular bioenergetics of BMMCs.

Wild-type BMMCs attached to a microtiter plate designed for the extracellular flux analyzer were cultured with or without the indicated concentrations of PF670462 or corticosterone (CORT) for 30 minutes. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR; an indicator of mitochondrial respiration) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) (an indicator of glycolysis) were measured at intervals of approximately 2-5 minutes. Plotted basal OCR and ECAR levels providing a snap-shot of the bioenergetics profiles of wild-type BMMCs treated or untreated with PF670462 or CORT are shown. There were no significant differences in OCR or ECAR among non-treated, vehicle-treated, PF670462- and CORT-treated BMMCs.

Wild-type BMMCs express CK1 protein

Cell lysates were obtained from 12-hour or 24-hour cultured (following a media change for synchronization) PER2LUC BMMCs with (WT) or without Clock mutation (ClockΔ19) and were subjected to Western blot analysis with anti-CK1 or anti--actin antibody.

Representative data are shown in the upper panel and the quantitative analysis (CK1/-actin ratio) is shown in the lower panel. Please note that there are comparable amounts of CK1 protein between wild-type and Clock-mutated PER2LUC BMMCs.

Fifteen or 240 minutes after the addition of D4476, PER2LUC BMMCs were sensitized with IgE and stimulated with anti-IgE antibody. Following the activation, IgE-mediated release of -hexosaminidase was evaluated in PER2LUC BMMCs (n = 3).

C.D4476 or CORT was added to PER2LUC BMMCs culture 72 hours after the media change as described in A. Fifteen or240 minutes after the addition of D4476, FcRI levels were evaluated by FACS analysis in PER2LUCBMMCs (n = 3).
