| Research Abstract |
We have developed engineered cell based outer cell potential measurement to monitor agonist-dependent cellular responses in order to monitor a function of post-synaptic receptor. Ion gate function give rise a potentiometric change on an attached electrode. As the GluR is largely expressed in insect cell and is exhibited on a cellular surface in huge population, change of outer cell potential can be obtained drastically when a ligand is Applied. Application of a natural agonist, induced a complex and robust potentiometric response in cell expressing glutamate (natural agonist) receptor. The outer cell potential profile of ligand-gated ion channel over expressed cell is affected by agonists and antagonists. Furthermore, several pharmacological agonists of the receptor also produced the potentiometric response. The observation cleary indicated that the cellular responses and engineered cells reflect post-synaptic receptor function. This novel approach should be applicatable to other ligand gated ion channel and holds promise as a cell-based biosensor for drug screening and other applications.
