RESUMO

This study identified the most frequently cited scholars across 28 leading multicultural textbooks used in the training of counselors and counseling psychologists. Four spheres or clusters of multicultural scholars were identified and were characterized, respectively, as having either a profound, highly significant, significant, or important impact on the academic multicultural training of counseling graduate students. The top-cited scholars across the textbooks were also examined in relation to their scholarly productivity (number of publications) and their impact (number of citations) in peer-reviewed journals. Specifically, multicultural scholars were assessed on the delta-beta coefficient, Scopus and PsycINFO publications count, Scopus citations, and the increasingly popular h-index of scientific impact. Limitations of the study and implications of the findings for counseling training were highlighted.

RESUMO

Cell-based assays are continuing to grow in importance in the drug discovery workflow. Their early introduction holds the promise of limiting attrition in the later, more costly phases of the process. This article reviews recent advances in the development of impedance technologies for label-free cell-based assays. These systems are capable of monitoring endogenous receptor activation, and thus generate more physiologically relevant measures of pharmacological endpoints. Primary cells can be investigated as well, thus producing disease relevant information. Label-free assays significantly decrease assay development efforts and avoid many complications inherent in recombinant readout systems. Impedance-based systems have great potential to advance the utility of cell-based assays as they are applied to drug discovery and pharmacology.

RESUMO

The CellKey (MDS Sciex, South San Francisco, CA) system enables comprehensive pharmacological evaluation of cell surface receptors, including G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and tyrosine kinase receptors, using adherent and suspension cell lines and primary cells. A unique application enabled by the ability of the CellKey system to reliably quantify activation of endogenous receptors is receptor panning. This application allows investigators to easily screen disease-relevant cell types for functionally active target receptors by treating cells with a panel of receptor-specific ligands. Receptor panning of multiple cell types including Chinese hamster ovary, human embryonic kidney 293, HeLa, U-937, U-2 OS, and TE671 cells resulted in the identification of many functionally active, differently coupled endogenous GPCRs, some of which have not been previously documented in the literature. Upon detecting GPCR activation in live cells, unique cellular dielectric spectroscopy (CDS) response profiles are generated within minutes that reflect the signaling pathways utilized and have been shown to be characteristic of Gs, Gq, and Gi GPCRs. The fact that the CDS response profiles are predictive of the G-protein coupling mechanism of the receptor was demonstrated by using examples of subtype-selective agonists/antagonists to identify the subtypes of the endogenous histamine and beta-adrenergic receptors expressed in U-2 OS cells. A direct correlation is shown between receptor subtype G-protein coupling and CDS response profile. In addition, complex pharmacology, including detection of partial agonism and Schild analysis for endogenous receptors, is presented. The CellKey system allows investigators to conduct studies using endogenously expressed receptors to generate data that are physiologically relevant and in disease context.

RESUMO

The past decade has seen a number of significant changes in identifying higher quality lead compounds earlier in the drug discovery process. Cell-based assay technologies yielding high-content information have emerged to achieve this goal. Although most of these systems are based on fluorescence detection, this article describes the development and application of an innovative cellular assay technology based on radio frequency spectrometry and bioimpedance measurements. Using this technique, the authors have discovered a link between cellular bioimpedance changes and receptor-mediated signal transduction events. By performing dielectric spectroscopy of cells across as pectrum of frequencies (1 KHz to 110 MHz), a series of receptor-specific, frequency-dependent impedance patterns is collected. These raw data patterns are used to determine the identity of the cellular receptor-signaling pathway being tested and to quantify stimulation endpoints and kinetics. The authors describe the application of this technology to the analysis of ligand-induced cellular responses mediated by the 3 major classes of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and protein tyrosine kinase receptors. This single assay platform can be used with ease to monitor G(s), G(i), and G(q) GPCRs without the need for chimeric or promiscuous G-proteins, fluorophors, or tagged proteins. In contrast to other methods of monitoring cellular signal transduction, this approach provides high information content in a simplified, noninvasive, and biologically relevant fashion.
