THUNDER™ TR-FRET Assays for Measurement of Endogenous Phosphorylated STAT Proteins in Human Cells9STAT proteins are activated by tyrosine phosphorylation mediated mainly by JAKs.)
The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in mediating cellular responses to cytokines and growth factors. STAT proteins are activated by tyrosine phosphorylation mediated mainly by JAKs.
In brief:
We measured the intracellular levels of phosphorylated STAT1 (Y701), STAT3 (Y705), STAT4 (Y693), STAT5 (Y694/Y699), and STAT6 (Y641), together with total STAT1, STAT3, STAT5, and STAT6, in cell lysates from adherent or suspension cells.
The workflow for the cellular assay is simple, fast, and designed for high-throughput screening (HTS). It consists of 3 steps: cell treatment, cell lysis, and protein detection using TR-FRET.
The no-wash assay protocols are flexible, use a low-volume sample (15 µL), require only one reagent addition step, and can be adapted to low-throughput and high-throughput applications.
In the two-plate assay protocol, lysates are transferred to a white 384-well detection plate, whereas in the one-plate protocol, all steps are conducted in the same white 384-well detection plate (all-in-one-well protocol).
Each phospho-STAT sandwich immunoassay was validated under optimized conditions with known agonists and inhibitors and generated the expected pharmacology and Z’-factor values.
As TR-FRET assays are ratiometric and require no washing steps, they provide much better reproducibility than traditional approaches like ELISA.
This suite of assays provides new cost-effective tools for a more comprehensive analysis of specific phosphorylated STAT proteins following cell treatment and the screening and characterization of specific and selective modulators of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.
Given its simplicity, specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness, the THUNDER™ TR-FRET platform represents an attractive alternative to traditional immunoassays, both in an academic setting and in industrial laboratories for HTS applications.
