Biochemical ATX Assa: 5 nM recombinant ATX (Cayman Chemicals) was supplemented to 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.0) containing 3 mM KCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2 0.14 mM NaCl, and 0.1% bovine serum albumin. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO and tested in the range of 0.1 nM to 10 μM. The enzymatic reaction (22.5 μL) was started by addition of 2.5 μL 10 μM 18:1 LPC (Avanti Lipids, Alabaster, Ala., USA). After 2-h incubation at room temperature, the reaction was stopped by addition of 20 μL water containing 500 nM 20:4 LPA as internal standard and 100 μL 1-butanol for extracting LPA. Subsequently, the plates were centrifuged at 4000 rpm, 4° C., for 2 min. The resultant upper butanol phase was directly used for injection at a RapidFire system (Agilent).The RapidFire autosampler was coupled to a binary pump (Agilent 1290) and a Triple Quad 6500 (ABSciex, Toronto, Canada). This system was equipped with a 10-μL loop, 5-μL Waters Atlantis HILIC cartridge (Waters, Elstree, UK), 90% acetonitrile containing 10 mM ammonium acetate as eluent A and 40% acetonitrile containing 10 mM ammoniumacetate as eluent B.
