We developed intramolecular dual fluorophore-quencher base analogues for site-specific incorporation into DNA by an unnatural base pair replication system. An unnatural base pair between 7-(2-thienyl)-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (Ds) and 2-nitro-4-propynylpyrrole (Px) exhibits high fidelity in PCR amplification, and the 2-nitropyrrole moiety of Px acts as a quencher. Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates of Px linked with a fluorophore (Cy3, Cy5 or FAM) were chemically synthesized, and the fluorescent properties and the enzymatic incorporation of the fluorophore-linked dPxTPs into DNA were examined in PCR amplification. The fluorophore-linked dPxTPs were site-specifically incorporated by PCR into DNA, opposite Ds in templates, with high selectivity. Furthermore, we found that the fluorescence of the triphosphates was partially quenched, but increased upon their incorporation into DNA. These dual fluorophore-quencher base analogues would be useful for site-specific DNA labeling and for monitoring the amplification products of target nucleic acid molecules with a specific sequence. We have demonstrated the utility of the fluorophore-linked Px substrates and the Ds-Px pairing in real-time quantitative PCR for target DNA molecule detection. 相似文献

Influence of organic and inorganic arsenicals on glucose uptake in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of organic (oxophenylarsine; PhAsO) and inorganic (arsenite) arsenicals on the availability of glucose to Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated. The MDCK cells revealed stereospecific D-glucose uptake which was inhibited by both arsenicals in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. After 10 min (37 degrees C), the effects on D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation were analogous, suggesting an impaired hexose uptake. With arsenite, 0.5-1 mmol dm-3 were required for half-maximum inhibition (IC50), whereas PhAsO inhibited glucose uptake in the micromolar range (IC50 5-30 mumol dm-3). Under these conditions neither cell morphology nor cellular viability was affected. After 60 min, however, the inhibition of glucose utilization was paralleled by the formation of blebs, detachment of the monolayer and a loss of cellular viability as confirmed by dye exclusion, lactate dehydrogenase and potassium release. It is concluded that inhibition of glucose uptake may contribute to the acute toxicity, especially of organic arsenicals, by further aggravating the depletion of intracellular carbohydrates. 相似文献

Covalent heterodimers of the Cy3 and Cy5 fluorophores have been prepared from commercially available starting materials and characterized at the single-molecule level. This system behaves as a discrete molecular photoswitch, in which photoexcitation of the Cy5 results in fluorescence emission or, with a much lower probability, causes the Cy5 to enter into a long-lived, but metastable, dark state. Photoinduced recovery of the emissive Cy5 is achieved by very low intensity excitation (5 W cm(-2)) of the Cy3 fluorophore at a shorter wavelength. A similar system consisting of proximal, but not covalently linked, Cy3 and Cy5 has found application in stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), a single-molecule localization-based technique for super-resolution imaging that requires photoswitching. The covalent Cy3-Cy5 heterodimers described herein eliminate the need for probabilistic methods of situating the Cy3 and Cy5 in close proximity to enable photoswitching. As proof of principle, these heterodimers have been applied to super-resolution imaging of the tubular stalk structures of live Caulobacter crescentus bacterial cells. 相似文献

Organic fluorescent dyes are widely used in single molecule localization microscopy, where their performances are determined by the photophysical properties. Herein, we utilized a sensitive method to modulate the fluorescence of organic dyes by external potentials using a combination of electrochemical cell and super‐resolution fluorescent microscopy. Cy5 (cyanine dye) was chosen as a model molecule considering its wide application and commercial availability. We applied different potentials on the Au electrode to change the Coulombic charge microenvironment of Cy5. When the electrode potential was adjusted negatively, Cy5 displayed a better photostability. This method is proved effective in adjusting the fluorescence of organic dyes. 相似文献

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a quantum dot as donor and an organic fluorophore as acceptor has been
widely used for detection of nucleic acids and proteins. In this paper, we developed a new method, characterized by 605-nm
quantum dot (605QD) fluorescence intensity increase and corresponding Cy5 fluorescence intensity decrease, to detect adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). The new method involved the use of three different oligonucleotides: 3′-biotin-modified DNA that binds
to streptavidin-conjugated 605QD; 3′-Cy5-labelled DNA; and a capture DNA consisting of an ATP aptamer and a sequence which
could hybridize with both 3′-biotin-modified DNA and 3′-Cy5-labelled DNA. In the absence of the target ATP, the capture DNA
binds to 3′-biotin-modified DNA and 3′-Cy5-labelled DNA, bringing quantum dot and Cy5 into close proximity for greater FRET
efficiency. When ATP is introduced, the release of the 3′-Cy5-labelled DNA from the hybridization complex took place, triggering
605QD fluorescence intensity increase and corresponding Cy5 fluorescence intensity decrease. Taken together, the virtue of
FRET pair 605QD/Cy5 and the property of aptamer-specific conformation change caused by aptamer–ATP interaction, combined with
the fluorescence intensity change of both 605QD and Cy5, provide prerequisites for simple and convenient ATP detection.

We have examined the self-assembled membrane-bound aggregates of two annexin V (A5) dye conjugates and compared them to those from native A5. Native A5 and FITC-labeled A5 (A5-FITC) both formed discrete well-defined crystalline monolayer domains of p6 symmetry. However, A5-FITC also showed additional domains with a corrugated appearance not observed in native A5. In contrast, Cy3-labeled A5 (A5-Cy3) showed a mixture of crystalline monolayer and irregular multilayered domains, with the ratio of the two types varying significantly from sample to sample, and also required a much longer incubation time than native A5 and A5-FITC. When A5-FITC and A5-Cy3 were co-incubated on the same bilayer, well-defined crystalline monolayer domains containing both A5-FITC and A5-Cy3 were consistently observed at a much shorter incubation time than that of pure A5-Cy3 alone, indicating that A5-FITC facilitates the inclusion of A5-Cy3. These results suggest that dye labels can affect A5 2D self-assembly and crystal formation on membrane surfaces. 相似文献

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies globally. Peptide-based tumor-targeted imaging is critical for ESCC imaging. In this study, we aim to identify a peptide-targeting IGF2BP2 that specifically binds to human ESCC for near-infrared imaging of esophageal cancer. Applying phage display techniques, we identified a peptide target for IGF2BP2 which was confirmed to be highly expressed in ESCC cell lines or tumor tissue and may serve as an imaging target for ESCC. We conjugated the peptide to the NIRF group, Cy5, and further evaluated the targeting efficacy of the probe at a cellular level and in animal tumor models. The Cy5 conjugated peptide (P12-Cy5) showed a high binding affinity to human ESCC cells in vitro. In vivo, optical imaging also validated the tumor-targeting ability of P12-Cy5 in KYSE-30-bearing subcutaneous ESCC tumor models. Furthermore, the results of biodistribution showed a significantly higher fluorescence intensity in tumors compared to scrambled peptide, which is consistent with in vivo observations. In summary, an IGF2BP2-targeted peptide was successfully identified. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that P12-Cy5 has high affinity, specificity and tumor-targeting properties. Thus, P12-Cy5 is a prospective NIR probe for the imaging of ESCC. 相似文献

We examined the use of prism-type simultaneous dual-color total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) to probe
DNA molecules at the single-molecule level. The system allowed the direct detection of the complementary interactions between
single-stranded probe DNA molecules (16-mer) and various lengths of single-stranded target DNA molecules (16-mer and 55-mer)
that had been labeled with different fluorescent dyes (Cy3, Cy5, and fluorescein). The polymer-modified glass substrate and
the extent of DNA probe immobilization were easily characterized either with standard TIRFM or with atomic force microscopy.
However, only dual-color TIRFM could provide unambiguous images of individual single-stranded target DNA molecules hybridized
with the correct sequence in the range of fM–aM. Succinic anhydride showed low RMS roughness and was found to be an optimal
blocking reagent against non-specific adsorption, with an efficiency of 92%. This study provides a benchmark for directly
monitoring the interactions and the detection of co-localization of two different DNA molecules and can be applied to the
development of a nanoarray biochip at the single-molecule level. 相似文献

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants have been used as fluorescent reporters in a variety of applications for
monitoring dynamic processes in cells and organisms, including gene expression, protein localization, and intracellular dynamics.
GFP fluorescence is stable, species-independent, and can be monitored noninvasively in living cells by fluorescence microscopy,
flow cytometry, or macroscopic imaging techniques. Owing to the presence of a phenol group on the chromophore, most GFP variants
display pH-sensitive absorption and fluorescence bands. Such behavior has been exploited to genetically engineer encodable
pH indicators for studies of pH regulation within specific intracellular compartments that cannot be probed using conventional
pH-sensitive dyes. These pH indicators contributed to shedding light on a number of cell functions for which intracellular
pH is an important modulator. In this review we discuss the photophysical properties that make GFPs so special as pH indicators
for in vivo use and we describe the probes that are utilized most by the scientific community. 相似文献

This critical review covers the present state of the art in optical sensing of glucose. Following an introduction into the significance of (continuous) sensing of glucose and a brief look back, we discuss methods based on (a) monitoring the optical properties of intrinsically fluorescent or labeled enzymes, their co-enzymes and co-substrates; (b) the measurement of the products of enzymatic oxidation of glucose by glucose oxidase; (c) the use of synthetic boronic acids; (d) the use of Concanavalin A; and (e) the application of other glucose-binding proteins. We finally present an assessment in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods (237 references). 相似文献

Glucose is a ubiquitous energy source for most living organisms. Its uptake activity closely reflects cellular metabolic demand in various physiopathological conditions. Extensive efforts have been made to specifically image glucose uptake, such as with positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and fluorescence microscopy, but all have limitations. A new platform to visualize glucose uptake activity in live cells and tissues is presented that involves performing stimulated Raman scattering on a novel glucose analogue labeled with a small alkyne moiety. Cancer cells with differing metabolic activities can be distinguished. Heterogeneous uptake patterns are observed with clear cell–cell variations in tumor xenograft tissues, neuronal culture, and mouse brain tissues. By offering the distinct advantage of optical resolution but without the undesirable influence of fluorophores, this method will facilitate the study of energy demands of living systems with subcellular resolution. 相似文献

Polyfluorinated carbohydrates have emerged as interesting probes to investigate "polar hydrophobicity" effect(s) in protein-carbohydrate interactions. A convenient enantioselective synthesis of tetrafluorinated analogues of two of the most important monosaccharides, D-glucose and D-galactose, is reported, as well as our first results regarding the glycosylation of these sugar analogues. 相似文献

We have studied the effects of anti-GLUT1 antibodies on the uptake of glucose into erythrocytes. Glucose transport into human erythrocyte ghosts was measured directly using 3H-2-deoxy-glucose, or indirectly by monitoring associated volume changes using light scattering. The uptake of glucose was significantly inhibited in ghosts resealed in solutions containing specific antibodies against GLUT1. Such an effect was not observed when an antibody against the oestrogen receptor, lacking specificity towards GLUT1, was employed instead. The antibodies were also without effect on the efflux of preloaded glucose from erythrocyte ghosts. The demonstration that anti-GLUT antibodies can inhibit glucose uptake is support for the hypothesis that they exaggerate the cytoplasmic barrier to glucose uptake created by endofacial segments of GLUT1. 相似文献

Tadehaginoside (TS) is a phenylpropanoid glycoside found in Tadehagi triquetrum, a medicinal plant with multiple biological activities. This study investigated the effect of TS on lipogenesis and glucose consumption in HepG2 cells. Treatment with TS inhibited lipid accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. This inhibition was closely associated with the downregulation of lipogenic genes such as SREBP-1a, SREBP-2 and their downstream targets (FAS, ACC, HMGR) and the upregulation of lipolytic gene PPARα as revealed by real-time quantitative PCR. Further investigation showed that TS significantly stimulated glucose consumption by HepG2 cells and glucose uptake by C2C12 myotubes, which could be partially explained by the upregulation of PPARγ. Collectively, these results clearly indicate that TS is an effective regulator of lipogenesis and glucose consumption, which could be useful in treatment of obesity and diabetes. 相似文献

Alternative, non-electrochemistry-based technologies for continuous glucose monitoring are needed for eventual use in diabetes mellitus. As part of a programme investigating fluorescent glucose sensors, we have developed fibre-optic biosensors using glucose/galactose binding protein (GBP) labelled with the environmentally sensitive fluorophore, Badan. GBP-Badan was attached via an oligohistidine-tag to the surface of Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-functionalized agarose or polystyrene beads. Fluorescence lifetime increased in response to glucose, observed by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy of the GBP-Badan-beads. Either GBP-Badan agarose or polystyrene beads were loaded into a porous chamber at the end of a multimode optical fibre. Fluorescence lifetime responses were recorded using pulsed laser excitation, high speed photodiode detection and time-correlated single-photon counting. The maximal response was at 100 mM glucose with an apparent K(d) of 13 mM (agarose) and 20 mM (polystyrene), and good working-day stability was demonstrated. We conclude that fluorescence lifetime fibre-optic glucose sensors based on GBP-Badan are suitable for development as clinical glucose monitors. 相似文献

A simple FRET-based approach to ratiometric fluorescence sensing of Cr3+ in aqueous solution using glutathione and glucose as building blocks was achieved, inspired to the binding motifs of Cr3+ in glucose tolerance factors (GTF). Selectivity and competition experiments showed that this system featured high sensitivity (detection limit ≤0.1 ppm) and excellent selectivity over other metal ions in buffer solution. Confocal fluorescence microscopy experiments had established the utility of the approach in monitoring Cr3+ within living cells. 相似文献

A rapid and simple procedure for screening antibodies for binding to an antigen is proposed. A fluorescent hapten —dye conjugate was prepared by labeling the amino moiety of the hapten with a commercially available reactive cyanine dye, Cy5 (excitation maximum: 650 nm, emission maximum: 670 nm). A fixed amount of the Cy5—hapten was titrated with serial dilution of the antibody. Each of the titration mixture was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis (25 cm × 20 μm column) monitored by laser-induced fluorescence (laser: 10 mW helium-neon, 632.8 nm). Free and antibody-bound Cy5-hapten were analyzed simultaneously on the electropherogram. Competitive immunoassay of hapten was demonstrated with low-end sensitivity of 5 · 10−8 M, about 10× more sensitive than the present drug screening methods. Using morphine as an example, the screening of various antibodies (from different vendors) and cross-reactivity of morphine analogues using the present procedure will be discussed. 相似文献

Tumor cells rely on aerobic glycolysis to support growth and survival, thus require more glucose supply. Glucose transporters GLUTs, primarily GLUT1, are overexpressed in various cancers. Targeting GLUTs has been regarded as a promising anticancer strategy. In this study, we first evaluated 75 potential GLUT1 inhibitors obtained from virtual screening of the NCI chemical library by a high-throughput cell-based method using a fluorescent glucose analogue 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-NBDG) in COS-7 and SKOV3 cells that express high levels of GLUT1. Four compounds, #12, #16, #43 and #69, that significantly inhibited glucose uptake were further evaluated using flow cytometry directly measuring 2-NBDG uptake at the single-cell level and a Glucose Uptake-GloTM assay indirectly measuring 2-deoxy-d-glucose uptake in SKOV3, COS-7 or MCF-7 cells. The inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth was also determined in SKOV3 and MCF-7 cells, and #12 exhibited the best growth inhibitory effect equivalent to a known GLUT1 inhibitor WZB117. Although the anticancer effect of the identified potential GLUT1 inhibitors was moderate, they may enhance the activity of other anticancer drugs. Indeed, we found that #12 synergistically enhanced the anticancer activity of metformin in SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells. 相似文献
