HX531, a retinoid X receptor antagonist, inhibited the 9-cis retinoic acid-induced binding with steroid receptor coactivator-1 as detected by surface plasmon resonance

HX531 is a retinoid X receptor (RXR) antagonist that inhibits 9-cis retinoic acid-induced neutrophilic differentiation of HL-60 cells. In order to elucidate the inhibitory mechanism of HX531, we have developed a novel ligand sensor assay for RXR in which the receptor-coactivator interaction is directly monitored using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor technology. A 20-mer peptide from steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1), containing nuclear receptor interaction motif LXXLL was immobilized on the surface of a BIAcore sensor chip. Injection of human recombinant RXR with or without 9-cis retinoic acid resulted in ligand-dependent interaction with the SRC-1 peptide. Kinetic analysis revealed dissociation constants (KD) of 9-cis RA-preincubated RXR to SRC-1 was 5.92 x 10(-8)M. Using this technique, we found that 1 microM HX531 reduced the ka value of liganded-RXR with SRC-1, suggesting that HX531 reduced the affinity of RXR to SRC-1. This SPR assay system was applied to obtain quantitative kinetic data of RXR ligand binding to the SRC-1 peptide and the alteration of these data by antagonists.
