Assay and screening methods for bioactive substances based on cellular signaling pathways are presented. Examples include: (1) intracellular protein phosphorylation and protein-protein interaction, (1-i) a new assay method for evaluating chemical selectivity of agonists for insulin signaling pathways based on agonist-induced phosphorylation of a target peptide, (1-ii) an SPR-based screening method for agonist selectivity for insulin signaling pathways based on the binding of phosphotyrosine to its specific binding protein, (1-iii) a fluorescent indicator for tyrosine phosphorylation-based insulin signaling pathways, and (1-iv) split luciferase as an optical probe for detecting protein-protein interactions in mammalian cells based on protein splicing; (2) a screening method for antigen-specific IgE using mast cells based on intracellular calcium signaling; (3) a screening method for substrates of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP); and (4) fluorescent indicators for cyclic GMP based on cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase Ialpha and green fluorescent proteins.

Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) is a cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) export pump expressed on mast cells. CysLTs are crucial mediators in allergic airway disease. However, biological significance of MRP1 in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we sensitized wild-type control mice (mrp1(+/+)) and MRP1-deficient mice (mrp1(-/-)) to ovalbumin (OVA) and challenged them with OVA by aerosol. Airway inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia after OVA exposure were reduced in mrp1(-/-) mice compared with mrp1(+/+) mice. Furthermore, CysLT levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from OVA-exposed mrp1(-/-) mice were significantly lower than those from OVA-exposed mrp1(+/+) mice. Levels of OVA-specific IgE, IL-4, and IL-13 in BALF were also decreased in OVA-exposed mrp1(-/-) mice. IgE-mediated release of CysLTs from murine bone marrow-derived mast cells was markedly impaired by MRP1 deficiency. Our results indicate that MRP1 plays an important role in the development of allergic airway inflammation through regulation of IgE-mediated CysLT export from mast cells.
