In this presentation, using Nav1.5 as a model system, we evaluated the potential of this drug-screening platform in identifying binders from artificial mixtures and a synthetic library containing about 100 ion channel blockers. The CMMNs were prepared using MDA-MB-231, a highly metastatic breast cancer cell line with known Nav1.5 overexpression. The formation of CMMNs was confirmed with transmission electron microscopy. The presence of Nav1.5 receptors on CMMN surfaces was studied using confocal microscopy with antibody labeling. The fishing experiments were performed by incubating CMMNs with an artificial mixture containing a known ion channel blocker and several non-binders and by incubating CMMNs with a synthetic library at 37 °C for 20 minutes. The identified Nav1.5-bound compounds were analyzed using a Water Xevo G2xs QTof-MS with iclass UPLC system. Our fishing experiments suggested that the immobilized Nav1.5 receptors on CMMN surfaces were able to selectively retain the known blocker and could identify compounds from the synthetic library.
