  1. Prepare a curve of Fe3+ in deionized water with the following serial dilutions: 640, 320, 160, 80, 40, 20, 10, 5, and 2.5 µM.
  2. Prepare 1 mM DHBA in Ligand Buffer from powder stock.
  3. Combine equal volumes of the Fe3+ curve with 1 mM DHBA. Include a control of 1 mM DHBA and Ligand Buffer.
  4. Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  5. After incubation, perform 5 fold dilutions to the curve with Assay Buffer.
  6. Dilute rmLipocalin-2 (MW: 21905 Da) to 4 µM in Assay Buffer.
  7. In a plate, load 50 µL of the diluted Fe(DHBA)3 complex curve and 50 µL of 4 µM rmLipocalin-2.
  8. Incubate reaction at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  9. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 280 nM and 340 nM, respectively in endpoint mode.
  10. Plot a 4-parameter curve of Fe(DHBA)3 concentration (x-axis) versus RFUs (y-axis), and calculate a BC50 from the curve.

Background

Mouse Lipocalin-2 was cloned from mouse kidney cells (1). Its very high level of expression at the post-stratum uterus gave it the name uterocalin (2). Lipocalin-2 has been implicated in a variety of processes including cell differentiation, tumorigenesis, and apoptosis (3‑5). Studies indicate that Lipocalin-2 binds a bacterial catecholate siderophore that is bound to a ferric ion, such as enterobactin, with a subnanomolar dissociation constant (KD = 0.41 nM) (6). The bound ferric enterobactin complex breaks down slowly in a month into dihydroxybenzoyl serine and dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA). It also binds to a ferric DHBA complex with much less KD values (7.9 nM) (6). Secretion of Lipocalin-2 in immune cells increases in response to stimulation of Toll-like receptor as an acute phase response to infection. As a result, it acts as a potent bacteriostatic reagent by sequestering iron (7). Moreover, Lipocalin-2 can alter the invasive and metastatic behavior of Ras-transformed breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by reversing the epithelial to mesenchymal transition inducing activity of Ras, through restoration of E-cadherin expression, via effects on the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway (8).
