      DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ EP3 Prostanoid Receptor Frozen Cells
      Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

      Prostanoids are a series of arachidonic acid metabolites produced by the action of cyclooxygenase and subsequently by isomerases and synthases. Cells rapidly secrete prostanoids after synthesis, whereupon the prostanoids bind to a family of 8 GPCRs to exert their biological effects (Narumiya and FitzGerald, 2001). The prostaglandin PGE2 causes pain, vasodilatation, immunosuppression of T cells, bone resorption and promotion of carcinogenesis. Four related GPCRs, EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4, each bind to PGE2, but the different G protein coupling status of each receptor leads to distinct biological effects. Further diversity is generated by alternative splicing; the human gene for EP3 generates 9 alternatively spliced mRNAs encoding 8 isoforms of EP3 (Kotani et al., 1997). These isoforms of EP3 vary in sequence at their C-termini, and differ in their ability to couple to Gs, Gq or Gi (Kotani et al., 1995). EP3 is required for fever induced by pyrogens, a response long attributed to prostaglandins by the antipyretic action of aspirin and other COX inhibitors (Ushikubi et al., 1998). In animal models of allergy, PGE2-mediated activation of EP3 inhibits inflammation to counteract the allergy-promoting activity of PGE2 (Kunikata et al., 2005). Millipore’s cloned human EP3-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant EP3 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for antagonists of interactions between EP3 and its ligands.
