 The GloResponse™ CRE-luc2P HEK293 Cell Line is a clonal derivative of Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells. These cells contain a luciferase gene (luc2P) under the control of a minimal Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) thymidine kinase promoter with multiple cAMP response elements (CREs). CRE is the DNA-binding sequence for the transcription factor CRE binding protein (CREB), which is responsible for regulation of a variety of biological functions including cell proliferation, circadian rhythms and memory. The GloResponse™ CRE-luc2P HEK293 Cell Line is designed for rapid and convenient analysis of any cellular response that results in modulation of CREB activities.

GPCRs regulate a wide-range of biological functions and are one of the most important target classes for drug discovery. GPCR signaling pathways can be categorized into three classes based on the G protein α-subunit involved: Gs, Gi/o and Gq. The GloResponse™ CRE-luc2P HEK293 Cell Line can be used to study and configure screening assays for Gs- and Gi/o-coupled GPCRs, which signal through cAMP and the cAMP Response Element (CRE).

The GloResponse™ Cell Lines incorporate the improvements developed for the pGL4 family of reporter vectors for enhanced performance. The destabilized luc2P luciferase reporter is used for improved responsiveness to transcriptional dynamics. The luc2P gene is codon optimized for enhanced expression in mammalian cells, and the pGL4 plasmid backbone was engineered to reduce background reporter expression. The result is a cell line with very high induction levels when the pathway of interest is activated.

GloResponse CRE-luc2P HEK293 cells response to forskolin titration.
GloResponse™ CRE-luc2P HEK293 cells response to forskolin titration. A total of 10,000 GloResponse™ CRE-luc2P HEK293 cells per well were dispensed into each well of a 96-well plate, and twofold serial dilutions of forskolin were added to induce reporter gene expression. After 4 hours of induction in a tissue culture incubator, luciferase activity was measured using the Dual-Glo® Luciferase Assay System Reagent on the GloMax® 96 Microplate Luminometer (n = 4).

BY USE OF THIS PRODUCT, RESEARCHER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED USE LABEL LICENSE. If the researcher is not willing to accept the terms of this label license, and the product is unused, Promega will accept return of the unused product and provide the researcher with a full refund.
Researchers may use this product for research use only, no commercial use is allowed. "Commercial use" means any and all uses of this product and derivatives by a party for money or other consideration and may include but is not limited to use in: (1) product manufacture; and (2) to provide a service, information or data; and/or resale of the product or its derivatives, whether or not such product or derivatives are resold for use in research. Researchers shall have no right to modify or otherwise create variations of the nucleotide sequence of the luciferase gene except that researchers may: (1) create fused gene sequences provided that the coding sequence of the resulting luciferase gene has no more than four deoxynucleotides missing at the affected terminus compared to the intact luciferase gene sequence, and (2) insert and remove nucleic acid sequences in splicing research predicated on the inactivation or reconstitution of the luminescence of the encoded luciferase. No other use or transfer of this product or derivatives is authorized without the prior express written consent of Promega. In addition, researchers must either: (1) use luminescent assay reagents purchased from Promega for all determinations of luminescence activity of this product and its derivatives; or (2) contact Promega to obtain a license for use of the product and its derivatives.
