A novel sensitive and simple electrochemical DNA sensor is reported for the determination of p53 tumor suppressor gene. A gold nanoparticle/graphene nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared and methylene blue was used as the hybridization redox indicator. Scanning electron microscopic and electrochemical characterization demonstrated that the gold nanoparticles and graphene were present on the electrode. The resulting sensor provided suitable electrochemical response to the p53 tumor suppressor gene with a linear dynamic range from 0.1 to 1000?nM. The limit of detection was 0.012?nM. The sensor was able to differentiate a complete complementary DNA sequence, single-base mismatched DNA sequence, and a three-base mismatched DNA sequence. The precision of the device was satisfactory, with a relative standard deviation of 4.1% for 11 measurements. The combination of gold nanoparticles and a graphene nanocomposite provided enhanced capabilities for the determination of DNA for clinical applications. 相似文献

A new electrochemical PNA hybridization biosensor for detection of a 15‐mer sequence unique to p53 using indigo carmine (IC) as an electrochemical detector is described in this work. This genosensor is based on the hybridization of target oligonucleotide with its complementary probe immobilized on the gold electrode by self‐assembled monolayer formation. Because this label is electroactive in acidic medium, the interaction between IC and short sequence of p53 is studied by differential pulse voltammety (DPV) in 0.1 M H2SO4. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry in the solution of [Fe(CN)6]3?/4? shows no breakage in PNA‐DNA duplex. A decrease in the voltammetric peak currents of IC is observed upon hybridization of the probe with the target DNA. The influence of probe concentration on effective discrimination against non‐complementary oligonucleotides is investigated and a concentration of 10?7 M is selected. The diagnostic performance of the PNA sensor is described and the detection limit is found to be 4.31×10?12 M. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor p53 is inactivated by mutation in approximately 50% of human cancers. Small molecules that bind and stabilize those mutants may represent effective anticancer drugs. Herein, we report the tumor cell growth inhibitory activity of carbazole alkaloids and amino derivatives, as well as their potential activation of p53. Twelve aminocarbazole alkaloids were semi-synthesized from heptaphylline (1), 7-methoxy heptaphylline (2), and 7-methoxymukonal (3), isolated from Clausena harmandiana, using a reductive amination protocol. Naturally-occurring carbazoles 1–3 and their amino derivatives were evaluated for their potential effect on wild-type and mutant p53 activity using a yeast screening assay and on human tumor cell lines. Naturally-occurring carbazoles 1–3 showed the most potent growth inhibitory effects on wild-type p53-expressing cells, being heptaphylline (1) the most promising in all the investigated cell lines. However, compound 1 also showed growth inhibition against non-tumor cells. Conversely, semi-synthetic aminocarbazole 1d showed an interesting growth inhibitory activity in tumor cells expressing both wild-type and mutant p53, exhibiting low growth inhibition on non-tumor cells. The yeast assay showed a potential reactivation of mutant p53 by heptaphylline derivatives, including compound 1d. The results obtained indicate that carbazole alkaloids may represent a promising starting point to search for new mutp53-reactivating agents with promising applications in cancer therapy. 相似文献

Studies of protein interactions with chemically modified nucleic acids are of importance in various areas of biomolecular and biomedical research, including investigations of the binding of proteins important in medicine with DNA modified with drugs and diagnostic applications of modified DNAs in biosensing and bioanalysis. Chemical modification of DNA substrates with various species inside or outside specific protein binding sites can affect the protein‐DNA recognition. In this paper we present a simple electrochemical immunoprecipitation technique designed for evaluation of the effects of antitumor drug cisplatin on the p53‐DNA binding. The cisplatin‐DNA adducts are utilized as electroactive labels allowing a facile determination of the p53‐bound modified DNA. Effects observed using this technique accord with results of previous biochemical assays. This approach is potentially applicable in studies that deal with the influence of any electroactive DNA modifications on the protein‐DNA binding. 相似文献

Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins can maintain and regulate cellular functions by accurately and quickly binding to target sequences among large amounts of nontarget DNA. The facilitated diffusion mechanism of DNA-binding proteins—a combination of three-dimensional (3D) diffusion and one-dimensional (1D) sliding along DNA—has been proposed to explain the target binding accuracy and rapidity and has been partially confirmed experimentally. Nonetheless, quantitative elucidation of the mechanism has remained difficult. Furthermore, many additional steps in facilitated diffusion have been proposed. In this review, we introduce the theoretical and experimental studies and the current understanding of facilitated diffusion of DNA-binding proteins. We focused on tumor suppressor p53 as a key protein subject to facilitated diffusion; p53 regulates various cellular processes such as cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and apoptosis upon binding to a target sequence of DNA after activation by external stress to the cell. We describe the research on the 3D diffusion and 1D sliding of p53 mainly via single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. In addition to the demonstration of the 1D sliding of p53, recent experiments revealed multiple modes of 1D sliding, regulation of the target recognition, and the constant search distance despite changes in the concentrations of divalent cations. Furthermore, rotation-coupled 1D sliding along DNA is suggested. A comparison of parameters of the facilitated diffusion of p53 and those of other DNA-binding proteins characterized so far suggests that the ratio of 3D diffusion and 1D sliding is close to the theoretical optimum of 1:1 for several proteins including p53. 相似文献

In this study, a simple and reliable LC–MS/MS method was first proposed for the simultaneous determination of TUG-891 and its metabolites TUG-891-alcohol, TUG-891-aldehyde, and TUG-891-acid in rat plasma. The analytes and fasiglifam (internal standard) were extracted from plasma samples with acetonitrile and separated using an Acquity BEH C18 column (1.7 μm, 2.1 × 50 mm) with water containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide and acetonitrile containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide as the mobile phase. A Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer in full-scan mode was used for mass detection, and the data analysis was obtained using a mass extraction window of 5 ppm. The calibration curves exhibited excellent linearity (correlation coefficient > 0.9981) in the concentration range of 0.5–1000 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantification was 0.5 ng/mL for all analytes. The intra- and inter-day precision was less than 11.31%, and the accuracy ranged from −11.50 to 9.50%. The extraction recovery of the analytes from rat plasma was greater than 82.31%, and no obvious matrix effect was found. The established method was further applied to the pharmacokinetic study of TUG-891, TUG-891-alcohol, TUG-891-aldehyde, and TUG-891-acid in rat after a single dose of 5-mg/kg treatment of TUG-891. The results demonstrated that TUG-891 was rapidly metabolized into its metabolites and the systemic exposures of the metabolites were much higher than those of TUG-891. 相似文献

Although human telomerase catalytic subunit (TERT) has several cellular functions including telomere homeostasis, genomic stability, cell proliferation, and tumorigenesis, the molecular mechanism underlying anti-apoptosis regulated by TERT remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that ectopic expression of TERT in spontaneously immortalized human fetal fibroblast (HFFS) cells, which are a telomerase- and p53-positive, leads to increases of cell proliferation and transformation, as well as a resistance to DNA damage response and inactivation of p53 function. We found that TERT and a mutant TERT (no telomerase activity) induce expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and ectopic expression of bFGF also allows cells to be resistant to DNA-damaging response and to suppress activation of p53 function under DNA-damaging induction. Furthermore, loss of TERT or bFGF markedly increases a p53 activity and DNA-damage sensitivity in HFFS, HeLa and U87MG cells. Therefore, our findings indicate that a novel TERT-bFGF axis accelerates the inactivation of p53 and consequent increase of resistance to DNA-damage response. 相似文献

Correlations between plasma concentrations of imatinib and sunitinib with efficacy and toxicity have been established. It is crucial to develop a sensitive and precise method for determining the plasma concentrations of imatinib and sunitinib, along with their active metabolites, to facilitate therapeutic drug monitoring and individualized therapy. Plasma samples were separated on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 chromatographic column using gradient elution. Quantification was performed using a mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring. The analysis time was 18 min per run, with all analytes and internal standards eluting within 8 min. The calibration range was 25–4000 ng/mL for imatinib, 5–800 ng/mL for N-desmethyl imatinib (CGP74588), and 2.5–400 ng/mL for sunitinib and N-desethyl sunitinib (SU12662). Intra- and inter-assay precision were both below 15%, and accuracy ranged between 90.0% and 101.9%. The method was successfully applied to determine blood samples from 120 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors who received imatinib (n = 115) and sunitinib (n = 5). It has been validated as linear, accurate, precise, and robust, making it suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring of imatinib and sunitinib in routine clinical practice. 相似文献

We present an integrated approach for investigating the topology of proteins through native mass spectrometry (MS) and cross‐linking/MS, which we applied to the full‐length wild‐type p53 tetramer. For the first time, the two techniques were combined in one workflow to obtain not only structural insight in the p53 tetramer, but also information on the cross‐linking efficiency and the impact of cross‐linker modification on the conformation of an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP). P53 cross‐linking was monitored by native MS and as such, our strategy serves as a quality control for different cross‐linking reagents. Our approach can be applied to the structural investigation of various protein systems, including IDPs and large protein assemblies, which are challenging to study by the conventional methods used for protein structure characterization. 相似文献

This paper discusses a new electrochemical DNA hybridization sensing approach based on the detection of a linked enzyme label. In this method we employ enzyme that is attached to a tethered ssDNA oligomer on the surface and the target analyte is a complementary ssDNA oligomer that does not require any pre‐treatment. The advantage of using of enzyme label is in its amplification of the registration of the hybridization event due to the catalytic reaction facilitated in the process. One particular novelty is associated with the use of enzymes that directly communicate with the electrode surface thus allowing for minimizing the need of additional reagents in the assay. The electrochemical assay was demonstrated when using mixed self‐assembled monolayers from thiolated oligonucleotide and 6‐mercapto 1‐hexanol on gold surfaces. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is attached to the surface tethered oligonucleotide using streptavidin‐biotin chemistry, and the enzyme successfully established direct electron transfer (DET) with the electrode or mediated electron transfer (MET) using a mediator. Hybridization results in increasing the angle of contact between electrode and DNA and also the stiffness of the ds DNA, which results in displacing the enzyme away from the electrode surface, and thereby reducing the occurrence of direct electron transfer between the enzyme and the electrode. The cyclic voltammetry showed a clear distinction in response between the complete complementary sequence and the two‐base mismatch sequence. Ellipsometric measurements show that the thickness of the thiol modified oligonucleotide on gold surfaces changes before and after hybridization for the complementary sequence, where as a minimal change in thickness was observed for the noncomplementary sequence. The model target analyte in this study was TP53 gene where a specific mutation is a marker for a list of cancers. Mutations of the TP53 gene have been demonstrated in tumors of the colon, breast, lung, ovary, bladder, and many other organs. Analysis of p53 mutations may provide useful information for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of cancer. 相似文献

A series of novel indolone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their binding affinities toward MDM2 and MDMX. Some compounds showed potent MDM2 and moderate MDMX activities. Among them, compound A13 exhibited the most potent affinity toward MDM2 and MDMX, with a Ki of 0.031 and 7.24 μM, respectively. A13 was also the most potent agent against HCT116, MCF7, and A549, with IC50 values of 6.17, 11.21, and 12.49 μM, respectively. Western blot analysis confirmed that A13 upregulated the expression of MDM2, MDMX, and p53 by Western blot analysis. These results indicate that A13 is a potent dual p53-MDM2 and p53-MDMX inhibitor and deserves further investigation. 相似文献

We previously reported that the p53 tumor suppressor protein plays an essential role in the induction of tetraploid G1 arrest in response to perturbation of the actin cytoskeleton, termed actin damage. In this study, we investigated the role of p53, ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM), and catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) in tetraploid G1 arrest induced by actin damage. Treatment with actin- damaging agents including pectenotoxin-2 (PTX-2) increases phosphorylation of Ser-15 and Ser-37 residues of p53, but not Ser-20 residue. Knockdown of ATM and DNA-PKcs do not affect p53 phosphorylation induced by actin damage. However, while ATM knockdown does not affect tetraploid G1 arrest, knockdown of DNA-PKcs not only perturbs tetraploid G1 arrest, but also results in formation of polyploidy and induction of apoptosis. These results indicate that DNA-PKcs is essential for the maintenance of actin damage induced- tetraploid G1 arrest in a p53-independent manner. Furthermore, actin damage-induced p53 expression is not observed in cells synchronized at G1/S of the cell cycle, implying that p53 induction is due to actin damage-induced tetraploidy rather than perturbation of actin cytoskeleton. Therefore, these results suggest that p53 and DNA- PKcs independently function for tetraploid G1 arrest and preventing polyploidy formation. 相似文献

Electrochemical monitoring of DNA hybridization related to p53 gene sequence was investigated using genomagnetic assay combined with single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). The hybridization was performed either at magnetic beads (MB) surface or in solution. The enhanced guanine signal was obtained using SWCNT‐PGEs compared to one obtained by unmodified PGEs. The selectivity of genomagnetic assay was tested under optimum conditions. The DLs were calculated as 0.88 µM and 0.11 µM for hybridization performed at MB surface and solution, respectively. This selective, practical and cost effective genomagnetic assay combined with SWCNT‐PGEs is reported herein for the first time. 相似文献

A new organotin complex derived from propyl gallate and 1,10‐phenanthroline was designed, synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic and elemental analytical methods. The underlying mechanisms of the anticancer action of the tin complex were further elucidated by evaluating its in vitro DNA interaction and the regulating signaling pathways. Our results showed that the tin complex could effectively activate DNA strand breaks in MCF‐7 cells in a dose‐dependent manner after cellular internalization. Phosphorylation of a DNA damage marker, histone H2A.X (Ser139), was thus upregulated in treated cells. Additionally, our results indicate that p53 is phosphorylated in response to DNA damage, and that this phosphorylation may be involved in the subsequent induction and activation of p53. In vitro DNA binding of the complex in Tris–HCl buffer was studied using various biophysical methods, revealing that the tin complex binds to DNA non‐covalently via electrostatic interaction. The higher Kb value of the complex suggested greater DNA binding propensity. Further, to evaluate the mode of action at the molecular level, interaction studies of the tin complex with nucleotide (5′‐GMP) were carried out. The complex exhibits DNA cleavage activity with supercoiled pBR322 in the presence of different activators. The complex cleaves DNA efficiently via oxidative cleavage pathway. Molecular docking studies were performed to understand the binding mode of the tin complex with DNA (PDB ID: 1BNA). 相似文献
