    Abstract High throughput screening (HTS) is widely used in drug discovery and chemical biology to identify and characterize agents having pharmacologic properties often by evaluation of large chemical libraries. Standard HTS data can be simply plotted as an x-y graph usually represented as % activity of a compound tested at a single concentration vs compound ID, whereas quantitative HTS (qHTS) data incorporates a third axis represented by concentration. By virtue of the additional data points arising from the compound titration and the incorporation of logistic fit parameters that define the concentration-response curve, such as EC50 and Hill slope, qHTS data has been challenging to display on a single graph. Here we provide a flexible solution to the rapid plotting of complete qHTS data sets to produce a 3-axis plot we call qHTS Waterfall Plots. The software described here can be generally applied to any 3-axis dataset and is available as both an R package and an R shiny application.

    Abstract Immunosuppressants used to treat autoimmunity are often not curative and have many side effects. Our purpose was to identify therapeutics for autoimmunity of the skeletal muscle termed idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (myositis). Recent evidence shows that the pro-inflammatory type I interferons (IFN) and a downstream product major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I are pathogenic in myositis. We conducted quantitative high-throughput screening on >4500 compounds, including all approved drugs, through a series of cell-based assays to identify those that inhibit the type I IFN-MHC class I pathway in muscle precursor cells (myoblasts). The primary screen utilized CRISPR/Cas9 genome-engineered human myoblasts containing a pro-luminescent reporter HiBit fused to the C-terminus of endogenous MHC class I. Active compounds were counter-screened for cytotoxicity and validated by MHC class I immunofluorescence, Western blot, and RT-qPCR. Actives included Janus kinase inhibitors, with the most potent being ruxolitinib, and epigenetic/transcriptional modulators like histone deacetylase inhibitors and the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 inhibitor echinomycin. Testing in animal models and clinical trials is necessary to translate these therapies to myositis patients. These robust assay technologies can be further utilized to interrogate the basic mechanisms of the type I IFN-MHC class I pathway, identify novel molecular probes, and elucidate possible environmental triggers that may lead to myositis.

    Abstract Quantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) pharmacologically evaluates chemical libraries for therapeutic uses, toxicological risk and, increasingly, for academic probe discovery. Phenotypic high-throughput screening assays interrogate molecular pathways, often relying on cell culture systems, historically less focused on multicellular organisms. Caenorhabditis elegans has served as a eukaryotic model organism for human biology by virtue of genetic conservation and experimental tractability. Here, a paradigm enabling C. elegans qHTS using 384-well microtiter plate laser-scanning cytometry is described, in which GFP-expressing organisms revealing phenotype-modifying structure-activity relationships guide subsequent life-stage and proteomic analyses, and Escherichia coli bacterial ghosts, a non-replicating nutrient source, allow compound exposures over two life cycles, mitigating bacterial overgrowth complications. We demonstrate the method with libraries of anti-infective agents, or substances of toxicological concern. Each was tested in seven-point titration to assess the feasibility of nematode-based in vivo qHTS, and examples of follow-up strategies were provided to study organism-based chemotype selectivity and subsequent network perturbations with a physiological impact. We anticipate that this qHTS approach will enable analysis of C. elegans orthologous phenotypes of human pathologies to facilitate drug library profiling for a range of therapeutic indications.

    Abstract We have previously demonstrated that human liver-type phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1) recruits other rate-determining enzymes in glucose metabolism to organize multienzyme metabolic assemblies, termed glucosomes, in human cells. However, it has remained largely elusive how glucosomes are reversibly assembled and disassembled to functionally regulate glucose metabolism and thus contribute to human cell biology. We developed a high-content quantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) assay to identify regulatory mechanisms that control PFK1-mediated glucosome assemblies from stably transfected HeLa Tet-On cells. Initial qHTS with a library of pharmacologically active compounds directed following efforts to kinase-inhibitor enriched collections. Consequently, three compounds that were known to inhibit cyclin-dependent kinase 2, ribosomal protein S6 kinase and Aurora kinase A, respectively, were identified and further validated under high-resolution fluorescence single-cell microscopy. Subsequent knockdown studies using small-hairpin RNAs further confirmed an active role of Aurora kinase A on the formation of PFK1 assemblies in HeLa cells. Importantly, all the identified protein kinases here have been investigated as key signaling nodes of one specific cascade that controls cell cycle progression in human cells. Collectively, our qHTS approaches unravel a cell cycle-associated signaling network that regulates the formation of PFK1-mediated glucosome assembly in human cells.

    Abstract Paracatalytic inducers are antagonists that shift the specificity of biological catalysts, resulting in non-native transformations. In this Chapter we describe methods to discover paracatalytic inducers of Hedgehog (Hh) protein autoprocessing. Native autoprocessing uses cholesterol as a substrate nucleophile to assist in cleaving an internal peptide bond within a precursor form of Hh. This unusual reaction is brought about by HhC, an enzymatic domain that resides within the C-terminal region of Hh precursor proteins. Recently, we reported paracatalytic inducers as a novel class of Hh autoprocessing antagonists. These small molecules bind HhC and tilt the substrate specificity away from cholesterol in favor of solvent water. The resulting cholesterol-independent autoproteolysis of the Hh precursor generates a non-native Hh side product with substantially reduced biological signaling activity. Protocols are provided for in vitro FRET-based and in-cell bioluminescence assays to discover and characterize paracatalytic inducers of Drosophila and human hedgehog protein autoprocessing, respectively.
