    摘要: Table 5 demonstrates that, as expected, cell proliferation results in an increase in oxygen consumption and the rate of extracellular acidification.

    Measurement of G-Protein Coupled Receptor Activation in CHO-M3 Cells:
    Previous studies have shown that stimulation of transmembrane receptors often causes a rapid increase in extracellular acidification rate, resulting primarily from acute activation of ion exchange pumps. In this experiment, the prototype device was used to detect a change in extracellular acidification rate following treatment of cells with a receptor agonist.
    Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transfected to over-express the muscarinic receptor subtype m3. The prototype device described in Example 1 was then used to monitor O 2 consumption, CO 2 production, and extracellular acidification rates, following treatment with the well-known, general acetylcholine receptor agonist, Carbachol.
    Materials and Methods: Cell culture reagents were obtained from Gibco BRL (Grand Island, NY). Carbachol was purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO). Biearbonate-free DMEM medium was obtained from Specialty Media (Phillipsburg, NJ). Polycarbonate membrane snapwells (12 mm diameter, 3 µm pore size) were obtained from Corning (Corning, NY). CHO cells expressing m3-muscarinic receptors (CHO-M3 cells) were obtained from the American Type Tissue Culture (ATCC; Manassas, VA). Cells were cultured in Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone), 1% GlutaMax and 0.1 % Gentamicin and were maintained in a 5% CO 2 incubator. Cells were subcultured when they reached 80% confluency. CHO-M3 cells were seeded at a density of 2x10 5 onto a snapwell 24 hours prior to use. Immediately prior to testing, cells on snapwells were switched to bicarbonate-free DMEM medium combined with 3.7 g/l NaCl to maintain osmolarity (medium pH 7.4 - 7.5).
    Protocol Description: Probes were calibrated immediately prior to testing. The bottom of the test vessel was filled with bicarbonate-tree medium. The snapwell was removed from a 5% CO2 incubator, and the regular growth medium (Ham's F-12) was replaced with bicarbonate-free DMEM medium. Thereafter, the snapwell was placed into the test vessel. Bicarbonate-free medium was pipetted onto the top of the snapwell, and the cover piece of the test vessel was placed gently on top of the snapwell and screwed into place, compressing the assembly. The probe software was started, and the pH, CO 2 and O 2 analytes were measured over
