Genetic mutations in ryanodine receptors (RyRs), Ca 2+ -release channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum essential for muscle contractions, cause various skeletal muscle and cardiac diseases. Because the main underlying mechanism of the pathogenesis is overactive Ca 2+ release by gain-of-function of the RyR channel, inhibition of RyRs is expected to be a promising treatment of these diseases. Here, to identify inhibitors specific to skeletal muscle type 1 RyR (RyR1), we developed a novel high-throughput screening (HTS) platform using time-lapse fluorescence measurement of Ca 2+ concentrations in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ([Ca 2+ ] ER ). Because expression of RyR1 carrying disease-associated mutation reduces [Ca 2+ ] ER in HEK293 cells through Ca 2+ leakage from RyR1 channels, specific drugs that inhibit RyR1 will increase [Ca 2+ ] ER by preventing such Ca 2+ leakage. RyR1 carrying the R2163C mutation and R-CEPIA1er, a genetically encoded ER Ca 2+ indicator, were stably expressed in HEK293 cells, and time-lapse fluorescence was measured using a fluorometer. False positives were effectively excluded by using cells expressing wild-type (WT) RyR1. By screening 1535 compounds in a library of well characterized drugs, we successfully identified four compounds that significantly increased [Ca 2+ ] ER They include dantrolene, a known RyR1 inhibitor, and three structurally different compounds: oxolinic acid, 9-aminoacridine, and alexidine. All the hit compounds, except for oxolinic acid, inhibited [ 3 H]ryanodine binding of WT and mutant RyR1. Interestingly, they showed different dose dependencies and isoform specificities. The highly quantitative nature and good correlation with the channel activity validated this HTS platform by [Ca 2+ ] ER measurement to explore drugs for RyR-related diseases.
