To demonstrate the utility of the CNGC-based cAMP assay, the three cAMP assays were further compared for functional analysis of endogenous b-adrenergic receptors. The HEK293 cell line was reported to have endogenous b1 and b2 adrenergic receptors [13, 14]. A nonspecific b-adrenergic receptor agonist, isoproterenol, was selected as an activator. The HitHunter and CatchPoint assay kits were unable to detect any cAMP change in response to the activation of isoproterenol at various concentrations, whereas the CNGC-based cAMP assay was sensitive enough to determine the EC50 value of isoproterenol to be 14 nM (Fig. 2). The CNGC-based cAMP assay was further used to measure EC50 values of other b-adrenergic receptor agonists (Fig. 3 A) and antagonists (Fig. 3 B). The cAMP compartmentalization during GPCR activation has been widely reported [9, 15]. Under these circumstances, the level of local cAMP may increase enough to initiate certain biological events, although the total cytosolic cAMP level does not change significantly. Most of the existing cAMP assays require cell lysis to measure total cytoplasmic cAMP. In the current study, 0003-2697/$-see front matter© 2006 Elsevier Inc.
