NOTES (numbers refer to sequence above)
1; SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells stably expressing GLuc-SERCaMP (SH-SY5Y-GLuc-ASARTDL) cells were seeded in 1,536 well white tissue culture treated plates (Corning, Cat# 7464) in DMEM-high glucose-sodium pyruvate (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat #10569) supplemented with 10% bovine growth serum (Hyclone), 10 U/ml penicillin (Gibco), 10 ug/ml streptomycin (Gibco), and 20 mM HEPES.
2; Assay plates were incubated for 5 hour at 37C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2.
3; qHTS libraries (23 nl, final concentrations of 1.53 uM, 7.67 uM, 38.3 uM) or controls (neutral control: DMSO, positive control: dantrolene) were added using a Kalypsis pin-tool Robotic System equipped with 1536 pinheads.
4; Cells were then incubated for 16 hours at 37C, 5% CO2.
5; Thapsigargin was added at 100 nM to deplete ER calcium stores.
6; Cells were incubated for 4 hour (37oC, 5% CO2)
7; Gaussia luciferase in the medium was measured by adding 1 ul of 0.5x coelenterazine (final concentration 0.07x) prepared in Gaussia Luciferase Glow Assay Buffer (Pierce), without addition of the Cell Lysis Buffer Reagent.
8; Luminescence was measured using a ViewLux high-432 throughput CCD imaging system (Perkin Elmer) equipped with clear filters. Compounds exhibiting inhibitory activity (defined as curve class -1.1, -1.2, -1.3, -1.4, -2.1, -2.2, -2.3, -2.4, -3) were identified by normalizing plate-wise to corresponding intra-plate controls (neutral control = Tg only; positive control (100% inhibition) = DMSO vehicle) with percent activity derived using in-house software (https://tripod.nih.gov/curvefit). The same controls were also used for the calculation of the Z' factor, a measure of assay quality control, as previously described (Zhang et al., 1999). For the initial validation of activity in the SERCaMP assays, hits from the primary screen were assayed again at 11-concentrations (1.3 nM - 76.6 uM). SH-SY5Y-GLuc-SERCaMP cells were assayed for ER Ca2+ depletion as outlined above.

Protocol: Cybrid cells were washed with PBS, trypsinized, spun down at 300g for 5 minutes, and resuspended in 10 mLs of PBS. Cells were counted, and the appropriate amount of cells were added to a vial containing DMEM (No Glucose) + 2%FBS + 1% P/S + 10mM Galactose, DMEM (No Glucose) + 2%FBS + 1% P/S + 10mM Galactose + 0.3% DMSO, DMEM No Glucose + 2% FBS + 1% P/S + 10mM Galactose + 1uM I-BET GSK 525762A, or DMEM (No Glucose) + 2%FBS + 1% P/S + 10mM Galactose + 1.25mM Glucose. Cells were then seeded in a Corning 3570 384-well plate (40 ul/well,1500 cells/well). Two replicates were prepared as described at the same time per library plate.

100 nl of compound was added to each well via pin transfer immediately after seeding. After the addition of compound, cells were incubated for 72 hours at 37 degrees C with 5% CO2.

Following the 72 hour incubation period, the 384 well plates were centrifuged for 1 minute at 1000 rpm. The media was aspirated using an aspiration wand and fresh media DMEM only, was added to the cells (40uL/ well) using a well-mate. Fifteen-microliters of Cell Titer Glow substrate was then added to each well using the well-mate. The plates were gently vortexed for 10 seconds and then centrifuged for 1 minute at 1000 rpm. The plates were then immediately read on the Envision instrument and the luminescence was detected for each individual well.

Positive control (strong): Cells seeded in DMEM (No Glucose) + 2%FBS + 1% P/S + 10mM Galactose + 1.25mM Glucose
Positive control (weak): Cells seeded in DMEM No Glucose + 2% FBS + 1% P/S + 10mM Galactose + 1uM I-BET GSK 525762A
Negative control: Cells seeded in DMEM (No Glucose) + 2%FBS + 1% P/S + 10mM Galactose + 0.3% DMSO

Comment: Data analysis method and criteria for scoring active compounds:

Z-scores were calculated for both replicates separately using the plate average and standard deviation of experimental well luminescence (Z = (x - mu)/sigma). Compounds were considered active if both replicate Z-scores >= 1.8. Activity scores were determined by scaling replicate average Z-scores from 0 (activity score = 0) to 4 (activity score = 100), with activity score > 45 being considered active. Z-scores < 0 were set to activity score = 0; Z-scores > 4 were set to activity score = 100 (100% activity).

Protocol: Cation-adjusted Mueller Hinton II broth supplemented with 0.005% Tween-80 was inoculated with a single colony of S. aureus RN4220. Following overnight incubation, the culture was diluted 1:100 into fresh medium, and incubation was continued until the bacterial suspension reached an optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of 0.6, corresponding to a bacterial density of 5 x 10E8 colony forming units (CFU)/mL. An aliquot of this culture was diluted 1:400 with fresh medium and stored on ice until use. Assay plates were prepared for compound transfer in quadruplicate to enable screening of compounds at two temperatures in duplicate. The plate layout was as follows: wells in columns 1-22 were loaded with culture medium at 25 microL/well; wells in column 23 contained the screening negative control (medium only); wells in column 24 contained the screening positive control (medium containing 25 microg/mL chloramphenicol). 300 nL of experimental compounds were transferred by stainless steel pin array from library plate to assay plates.

25 microL of the bacterial suspension was added to each assay well. Assay plates were incubated at 42 degrees C in humidified chambers (humidity > 85%). After 20 h, the OD600 was measured using a plate reader in absorbance mode.

Comment: Data analysis description:

Absorbance values at 42 degrees C and 30 degrees C for each replicate were normalized to positive and negative control plate average absorbance, and replicate normalized values were averaged to calculate an average relative absorbance at both temperatures. A substance was considered a temperature-dependent positive at 42 degrees C if average relative absorbance <= 50 and the difference between relative absorbance at 30 degrees C and 42 degrees C >= 20 (relative absorbance 30 degrees C - relative absorbance 42 degrees C >= 20). A substance was considered a temperature-independent positive if relative absorbance at both 30 degrees C and 42 degrees C < 10.

Activity scores were calculated using average relative absorbance at both temperatures. Average relative absorbance <= 0 was scored as 100 for activity; average relative absorbance >= 100 was scored as 0 for activityy. Average relative absorbance between 0 and 100 was subtracted from 100 to generate activity scores for intermediate values (i.e. average relative absorbance = 40 corresponds to an activity score of 60).

Note that since this is treated as a panel assay, the query for active compounds includes many that were considered active at both temperatures. The final Pubchem activity score is the activity score at 42 degrees C, and compounds scored as active (PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 2) include both temperature-dependent and temperature-independent active substances.

External ID: Sarm1 Tir NADase inhibitors screen

Protocol: NRK1-HEK293T cells were seeded onto 150 cm2 plates at 20 x 106 cells per plate. The next day, the cells were transfected with 15 microg FCIV-SST (SAM-TIR expression plasmid) using X-tremeGENE 9 DNA Transfection Reagent (Roche product #06365787001). The cultures were supplemented with 1 mM nicotinamide riboside at time of transfection to minimize toxicity from SAM-TIR overexpression. Forty-eight hours after transfection, cells were harvested, pelleted by centrifugation at 1,000 rpm (Sorvall ST 16R centrifuge, Thermo Fisher), and washed once with cold PBS (0.01 M phosphate buffered saline NaCl 0.138 M; KCl 0.0027 M; pH 7.4). The cells were resuspended in PBS with protease inhibitors (Complete protease inhibitor cocktail, Roche product # 11873580001) and cell lysates were prepared by sonication (Branson Sonifer 450, output = 3, 20 episodes of stroke). The lysates were centrifuged (12,000xg for 10 min at 4 degrees C) to remove cell debris and the supernatants (containing SARM1 SAM-TIR protein) were stored at -80 degrees C for later use in the in vitro SARM1 SAM-TIR NADase assay (see below). Protein concentration was determined by the Bicinchoninic (BCA) method.

This screen is an adaptation of the NAD/NADH Glo assay (Promega G9071). In this assay, NAD cycling enzymes convert NAD into NADH. In the presence of NADH, the reductase enzymatically converts a proluciferin reductase substrate into luciferin. Luciferin is detected using Ultra-GloTM rLuciferase, and the chemiluminescence intensity is proportional to the amount of NAD and NADH in the sample. In our diluted lysate alone, the amount of NAD and NADH is undetectable with this assay precluding any endogenous contribution to the final NAD detected. The assay was set up as follows: 2 microl candidate inhibitor (final concentration 1 microM, 2% DMSO), 0.07 microg lysate (2 microl), and 2 microl of 400 nM NAD. The reaction was incubated at 37 degrees C for 60 min, then 6 microl NAD/NADH Glo detection reagent was added. After 30 min at room temperature, the luminescent signals were quantified using a Cytation5 imaging reader (BioTek). The SARM1 SAM-TIR lysate catalyzed a dose-dependent depletion of NAD, whereas NAD levels did not decline when reactions were performed with lysate prepared from control NRK1-HEK293T cells.

NOTES (numbers refer to Sequence numbers above)
1. The cell-based screening methods employed in this study were like those previously published [1]. Briefly, the corresponding myeloma cell lines were screened in 1,536-well plates with 500 cells, 5-uL per well for inhibition of cell viability (assessed by measuring ATP levels with CellTiterGlo).
2. NCATS MIPE 4.0 library of approved and investigational drugs were added using the Kalypsis pin tool. Wells treated with DMSO only for 100% viability and media only for 0% viability were used as controls.
3. The assay plates were covered and incubated for 48 hours in a 37C, 5% CO2 incubator with controlled humidity.
4. After 48 hours, CellTilter-GloTM luminescent substrate mix (Promega) reagent was added to the assay plate and plates we incubated for 5 min at room temperature.
5. Signal was measured as median relative luminescence units on a ViewLux (PerkinElmer) multiplate reader.

Comment: Disclaimer:
Although all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results as artifacts are possible from nonspecific effects such as assay signal interference. The curve fitting and activity calls presented here are based on the NCATS analysis methods.

Compound Ranking:
1. Compounds are first classified as having full titration curves, partial modulation, partial curve (weaker actives), single point activity (at highest concentration only), or inactive. For this assay, apparent cytotoxic compounds are ranked higher than compounds that showed no activity.
2. For all inactive compounds, with a ratio activity curve class of 4, PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is 0. For all active compounds, a score range was given for each curve class type given above. Active compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 40 and 100. For a ratio activity curve class = -1.1, score = 80+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -1.2 && abs(ratio.max_response) > 6*10, score = 60+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -2.1 || ( ratio.curve_class==-2.2 && abs(ratio.max_response) > 6*10), score = 40+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -1.2 || ratio.curve_class == -2.2, score = 20+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). Inconclusive compounds, with a donor curve class other than 4, have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE of 10. Inconclusive compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 1 and 39.

Protocol: The fix-reporter plasmid was conjugated into this strain which the stably integrates into the chromosome using the mini-Tn7 system (PMID: 15908923). This plasmid consists of the fixK promoter, which is a target of the fixLJ pathway driving expression of GFP.
The day before screen an overnight culture of B. multivorans strain VC7102, with fix reporter, is set up in tryptic soy broth (TSB) at 37 degrees C with shaking. The day of the screen the overnight culture is diluted 1:100 in fresh tryptic soy broth.
The day of the screen, 30 microL of tryptic soy broth (TSB) is pipetted into columns 1-22 of a 384-well plate (Corning 3764) using the Combi multidrop dispenser. To column 24, 30 microL of TSB containing 78 microM of Benserazide TSB is added for a positive control. To column 23, 30 microL of TSB containing with DMSO (0.078% v/v in TSB) is added for a negative control. 300 nL of each compound are pin-transferred to each plate. For every compound plate 2 replicate assay plates are set up. 30 microL of the 1:100 diluted-B. multivorans strain VC7102 is added to each well using the Combi. Initial OD600 and GFP are measured using the PerkinElmer EnVision. Plates are stacked 5 high, covered with lids and incubated at 37 degrees C overnight (~18 h).
The following day, assay plates are read using a PerkinElmer EnVision (600 nm filter and GFP).
Positive control: Benserazide 39 microM in column 24 (No positive control was used for plates 2089 & 2090; Plates 2091-2093: columns 1 & 24)
Negative control: DMSO 300 nL/well in column 23 (For plates 2089 & 2090 negative controls were located in columns 2 & 24; plates 2091-2093: columns 2 & 23)

Comment: Analysis method:
For each compound well, the initial GFP value was subtracted from overnight GFP value to calculate the deltaGFP. The mean and standard deviation of the negative control wells deltaGFP (column 23) on both replicate plates was calculated. Wells with replicate average deltaGFP at least 3 standard deviations above the plate negative control deltaGFP average were scored as potential positives.

To determine activity scores, Z-scores were calculated for each replicate separately based on the replicate negative control deltaGFP plate average and standard deviation. The replicate average deltaGFP Z-scores were used for activity scores, with activity score of 100 set to Z-score = 4 and activity score = 0 (no activity) set to Z-score = 0. Z-scores > 4 were considered activity score = 100, and Z-scores < 0 were considered activity score = 0.
