This report focuses on male caregivers of spouses with AD and represents a subsample from a larger descriptive study that examined the relationship between risk factors and the health status of spousal caregivers. Twenty-nine male caregivers affiliated with Alzheimer's organizations in Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada, returned mail surveys. On average, physical health symptoms increased by one-third when comparing pre- and post-caregiving data. Caregivers also were experiencing moderate to severe depression and burden. Male caregivers generally rated their physical health as fair to excellent and exhibited fewer than expected physical health symptoms. Caregiver health was related to perceptions of stress surrounding the provision of activities of daily living (ADL) assistance, the frequency of behavioral problems, perceptions of stress associated with the AD spouse's dysfunctional behaviors, and satisfaction with leisure opportunities. The identification of the role that caregiver perceptions of stressfulness associated with caregiving and the need for leisure satisfaction offer important implications for community-based education and respite services to maintain health status for spousal caregivers.</p>","PeriodicalId":15087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomolecular Screening","volume":"12 1","pages":"167-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10833828/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87384563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To identify novel inhibitors of COX-2, we developed a high throughput reporter gene assay that utilizes a region of the human COX-2 promoter to drive luciferase expression. A total of 968 extracts from 266 plants were screened. Extracts from 12 plants (4.5%), including Arnebia euchroma, a medicinal plant used in the Far East to treat inflammation, inhibited the stimulation of COX-2 promoter activity. The gene promoter assay then was used to identify shikonin, a compound with known anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive properties, as an active compound in A. euchroma. To complement the gene promoter studies, we determined the effects of a mixture of shikonins on phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-mediated induction of COX-2 in transformed human mammary epithelial cells. Shikonins inhibited PMA-mediated induction of COX-2 mRNA, protein, and prostaglandin E(2) synthesis. In transient transfections, PMA caused a severalfold increase in COX-2 promoter activity, an effect that was suppressed by shikonins. Shikonins also inhibited PMA-mediated stimulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinases and activator protein-1 activity. Collectively, these results demonstrate the successful development and use of a high throughput reporter gene assay for the identification of a novel inhibitor of COX-2 expression.","PeriodicalId":15087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomolecular Screening","volume":"6 2 1","pages":"101-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/108705701750160282","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60620946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ligand-induced conformational stabilization of proteins is a well-understood phenomenon in which substrates, inhibitors, cofactors, and even other proteins provide enhanced stability to proteins on binding. This phenomenon is based on the energetic coupling of the ligand-binding and protein-melting reactions. In an attempt to harness these biophysical properties for drug discovery, fully automated instrumentation was designed and implemented to perform miniaturized fluorescence-based thermal shift assays in a microplate format for the high throughput screening of compound libraries. Validation of this process and instrumentation was achieved by investigating ligand binding to more than 100 protein targets. The general applicability of the thermal shift screening strategy was found to be an important advantage because it circumvents the need to design and retool new assays with each new therapeutic target. Moreover, the miniaturized thermal shift assay methodology does not require any prior knowledge of a therapeutic target's function, making it ideally suited for the quantitative high throughput drug screening and evaluation of targets derived from genomics.","PeriodicalId":15087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomolecular Screening","volume":"6 6 1","pages":"429-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/108705701753364922","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60620661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MAFB filter plates (GF/B filter over a Durapore membrane) were used because of the lower nonspecific binding of the radioligand to GF/B filter material than to GF/C filters. Comparing different scintillation cocktails, highest counting efficiency and shortest equilibration time were detected with Betaplatescint, after drying the plates at 50 degrees C for 2 h. Measuring the plates without the plastic underdrain increased the counting efficiency by about 39% as compared with counting the plate with the underdrain intact. Presoaking the wells with 0.5% polyethyleneimine for 2 h reduced the nonspecific binding to the filter material by about 50%. A linear relationship of protein concentration and radioligand binding was established up to a protein concentration of 165 microg of protein/well. In the assays, 70 microg of protein/well was generally used, which has turned out to be favorable with respect to the number of counts obtained. When a higher concentration of protein was used, the period of time needed to aspirate the plate was too long because of obstruction of the filter material. Receptor-radioligand equilibration was reached after about 20 min at concentrations less than 0.05 nM [(3)H]ketanserin-HCl; at higher concentrations it was reached after about 10 min. Saturation analysis of [(3)H]ketanserin-HCl resulted in a mean B(max) of 393 fmol/mg protein and a K(D) of 2.0 nM using rat frontal cortex as a receptor source.

This has been rapidly adopted for simple radioligand binding assays but is less amenable for certain functional screens. [35S]GTPγS binding represents a convenient method for screening ligands that bind to G protein-coupled receptors and, ultimately, stimulate G-protein activation. In this study we have investigated the use of 96-well FlashPlates™ (NEN DuPont, Stevenage, England) to measure [35S]GTPγS binding to human 5-HT1B receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The cells were added to the individual wells of the FlashPlate and incubated with [35S]GTPγS in the presence or absence of test drug and bound radioactivity measured in a 96-well spectrometer. 5-HT produced a stimulation of basal [35S]GTPγS binding, which was robust within and between experiments, with pEC50 = 8.1. The 5-HT1B partial agonist GR127935 (2′n-methyl-4′-5-methyl-1,2,4 oxadiazol-3-yl)-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid [4-methoxy-3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-amide) caused a partial stimulation (pEC5o = 8.3, intrinsic activity = 0.7), and the selective 5-HTIB receptor antagonist SB-224289 (2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1′-methyl-5-{2′-methyl-4′-[(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole-3-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]carbonyl}furo[2,3-flindole-3-spiro-4′-piperidine oxalate) displayed inverse agonism with pEC50 = 7.6. These results are similar to those obtained using the conventional filtration method and indicate that FlashPlate technology can provide a rapid method for measuring [35S]GTPγS binding.","PeriodicalId":15087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomolecular Screening","volume":"3 1","pages":"101 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/108705719800300206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65314785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
