Visualization and Quantification of Transmembrane Ion Transport into Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

Transmembrane ion transporters (ionophores) are widely investigated as supramolecular agents with potential for biological activity. Tests are usually performed in synthetic membranes that are assembled into large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). However transport must be followed through bulk properties of the vesicle suspension, because LUVs are too small for individual study. An alternative approach is described whereby ion transport can be revealed and quantified through direct observation. The method employs giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which are 20–60 μm in diameter and readily imaged by light microscopy. This allows characterization of individual GUVs containing transporter molecules, followed by studies of transport through fluorescence emission from encapsulated indicators. The method provides new levels of certainty and relevance, given that the GUVs are similar in size to living cells. It has been demonstrated using a highly active anion carrier, and should aid the development of compounds for treating channelopathies such as cystic fibrosis.

Photophysical and Redox Properties of a Series of Phthalocyanines: Relation with Their Photodynamic Activities on TF-1 and Daudi Leukemic Cells

Abstract— The photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficiency of five phthalocyanines, chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc), dichlorosilicon phthalocyanine (SiPc), bis (tri- n -hexylsi-loxy)silicon phthalocyanine (PcHEX), bis (triphenyl-siloxy)silicon phthalocyanine (PcPHE) and nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc), was assessed on two leukemic cell lines TF-1 and erythroieukemic and B lymphoblastic cell lines, Daudi, respectively. AlPc showed the best photocytotox-icity leading to 0.008 surviving fraction at 2 × 10⁻⁹ M for TF-1 and 4 × 10⁻⁹ M for Daudi. At 5 × 10⁻⁷ M , SiPc and PcHEX induced a significant photokilling, whereas NiPc and PcPHE were inactive. Laser flash photolysis and photoredox properties of the phthalocyanines were investigated to try to relate these parameters with the biological effects. AlPc showed the longest triplet lifetime: 484 fis in dimethyl sulfoxide/H₂O. This value was increased up to 820 u.s when AlPc was complexed with human serum albumin used as a membrane model. Such an enhancement was not observed with the silicon phthalocyanines. Upon irradiation, all the phthalocyanines generated singlet oxygen with 0.29–0.37 quantum yield values. The reduction potentials of the excited states obtained from measurement in the ground state and energy of the excited triplets show that AlPc is the best electron acceptor. The in vitro photocytotoxicity observed and the measured parameters are in agreement with a key role of electron transfer in PDT assays involving these phthalocyanines.     

Lethal Effect of Benzene Nitrogen Mustard Glucoside Derivate on K562 Cells

A new synthesized benzene nitrogen mustard was converted into glycosyl donor-trichloroacetimidate that was glycosylated with p-nitrophenol（glycosyl donors） to form β-lactosyl p-nitrobenzene under the protection of acetyl in a stereoselective manner, was prepared and evaluated for its cytotoxicity towards cultured K562 cell line. Methylthiazoy tetrazolium（MTT） assay, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, flow cytometry（FCM） and immunohistochemistry were utilized to explore the mechanisms of how the compound arrests the growth of HCT-T cells. This new synthesed benzene nitrogen mustard glucoside derivate（BNMGD） presented a lower toxicity to normal cells, but is significantly more toxic to K562 cells compared with nitrogen mustard, meanwhile it can induce the apoptosis of K562 cells. These results indicate that the new synthesized BNMGD can inhibit the growth of K562 cells and induce the apoptosis, and its cytotoxicity towards cultured K562 cell line is much more effective than that of nitrogen mustard.

Observation and Photophysical Characterization of Silicon Phthalocyanine J‐Aggregate Dimers in Aqueous Solutions

The use of macrocyclic molecules for both imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) has proven to be a powerful method for assessing and treating diseases, respectively. However, many potential candidates for these applications rely on rigid organic structures which are hydrophobic and thus lead to possible aggregation in aqueous solutions such as blood. Here, we describe the discovery of noncovalent J‐aggregate dimers of the asymmetrically, axially modified silicon phthalocyanine 4 (Pc 4) in aqueous solutions through steady‐state and time‐resolved spectroscopy. Remarkably, the monomer–dimer equilibrium is dictated by water content and pH, with free monomers resulting in favorable solvation conditions even after formation of the dimer complex. This work sheds light on previous observations of Pc 4 behavior in cells during PDT, and can further elucidate the structure–activity relationship of these important molecules.     

Synergistic Interaction of Photodynamic Treatment with the Sensitizer Aluminum Phthalocyanine and Hyperthermia on Loss of Clonogenicity of CHO Cells

Abstract— When CHO cells were exposed to hyperthermia and subsequently to photodynamic treatment, the combined effects were additive but in the reverse sequence the interaction was synergistic. The synergistic interaction comprised two quite different components: (1) photodynam-ically induced sensitization of cellular proteins and/or supramolecular structures for thermal inactivation and (2) a photodynamically induced inhibition of the cellular repair system for sublethal thermal damage. The first component of the synergistic interaction was reflected by a change of the Arrhenius parameters of thermal cell killing. A lowering of the activation energy of this process was responsible for the synergistic interactions, whereas a concomitant decrease of the frequency factor, opposing this effect, actually caused a much lower degree of synergism at higher temperatures. This component of the synergistic interaction did not respond to the insertion of an intermediate incubation period between the two treatments. The second component of the synergistic interaction, viz. the interference with the ability of cells to survive sublethal thermal damage, was reversible, as an intermediate incubation between photodynamic treatment and hyperthermia resulted in its repair. The photodynamically induced inhibition of the ability of cells to survive sublethal thermal damage was not related to ATP or glutathione depletion, inhibition of de novo protein synthesis or impairment of degradation of damaged protein molecules. Restoration of the repair system for sublethal damage depended on a metabolic process and required free intracellular Ca²⁺, suggesting that a cell signaling pathway may be involved. Thus, in a practical sense the magnitude of the synergistic interaction between photodynamic treatment and hyperthermia depends on the length of the interval between the two treatments and on the temperature and duration of the subsequent thermal treatment. This may have significant consequences for the development of clinical protocols.     

New Imatinib Derivatives with Antiproliferative Activity against A549 and K562 Cancer Cells

Tyrosine kinase enzymes are among the primary molecular targets for the treatment of some human neoplasms, such as those in lung cancer and chronic myeloid leukemia. Mutations in the enzyme domain can cause resistance and new inhibitors capable of circumventing these mutations are highly desired. The objective of this work was to synthesize and evaluate the antiproliferative ability of ten new analogs that contain isatins and the phenylamino-pyrimidine pyridine (PAPP) skeleton, the main pharmacophore group of imatinib. The 1,2,3-triazole core was used as a spacer in the derivatives through a click chemistry reaction and gave good yields. All the analogs were tested against A549 and K562 cells, lung cancer and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines, respectively. In A549 cells, the 3,3-difluorinated compound (3a), the 5-chloro-3,3-difluorinated compound (3c) and the 5-bromo-3,3-difluorinated compound (3d) showed IC₅₀ values of 7.2, 6.4, and 7.3 μM, respectively, and were all more potent than imatinib (IC₅₀ of 65.4 μM). In K562 cells, the 3,3-difluoro-5-methylated compound (3b) decreased cell viability to 57.5% and, at 10 µM, showed an IC₅₀ value of 35.8 μM (imatinib, IC₅₀ = 0.08 μM). The results suggest that 3a, 3c, and 3d can be used as prototypes for the development of more potent and selective derivatives against lung cancer.     

An Alternative Approach to Quantify Partition Processes in Confined Environments: The Electrochemical Behavior of PRODAN in Unilamellar Vesicles

Herein, we investigate the behavior of the electroactive molecular probe 6‐propionyl‐2‐dimethyl amino naphthalene (PRODAN) in large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) formed with the phospholipid 1,2‐di‐oleoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) by using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The CV studies in pure water confirm our previous spectroscopic results that PRODAN self‐aggregates due to its low water solubility. Moreover, the electrochemical results also reveal that the PRODAN aggregated species are non‐electroactive within the studied electrochemical potential region. In DOPC LUV media, the redox behavior of PRODAN shows how the LUV bilayer interacts with PRODAN aggregated species to form PRODAN monomer species. Moreover, the electrochemical response of PRODAN allows us to propose a model for explaining the electrochemical experimental results and—in conjunction with our measurements—for calculating the value of the partition constant (K_p) of PRODAN between the water and LUV bilayer pseudophases. This value coincides with that obtained through an independent technique. Moreover, our electrochemical model allows us to calculate the diffusion coefficient (D) for the DOPC LUV, which coincides with the D value obtained through dynamic light scattering (DLS). Thus, our data clearly show that electrochemical measurements could be a powerful alternative approach to investigate the behavior of nonionic electroactive molecules embed in a confined environment such as the LUV bilayer. Moreover, we believe that this approach can be used to investigate the behavior of non‐optical molecular drugs embedded in bilayer media.     

Synthesis of Gb3 Glycosphingolipids with Labeled Head Groups: Distribution in Phase‐Separated Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

The receptor lipid Gb₃ is responsible for the specific internalization of Shiga toxin (STx) into cells. The head group of Gb₃ defines the specificity of STx binding, and the backbone with different fatty acids is expected to influence its localization within membranes impacting membrane organization and protein internalization. To investigate this influence, a set of Gb₃ glycosphingolipids labeled with a BODIPY fluorophore attached to the head group was synthesized. C₂₄ fatty acids, saturated, unsaturated, α‐hydroxylated derivatives, and a combination thereof, were attached to the sphingosine backbone. The synthetic Gb₃ glycosphingolipids were reconstituted into coexisting liquid‐ordered (l_o)/liquid‐disordered (l_d) giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), and STx binding was verified by fluorescence microscopy. Gb₃ with the C_24:0 fatty acid partitioned mostly in the l_o phase, while the unsaturated C_24:1 fatty acid distributes more into the l_d phase. The α‐hydroxylation does not influence its partitioning.

A Simple Electrochemical Aptamer Cytosensor for Direct Detection of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia K562 Cells

A simple and rapid electrochemical aptamer cytosensor has been developed for direct detection of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) K562 cells based on a specific aptamer and a biotin conjugated concanavalin A (bio‐ConA) detection probe. The K562 cell could be specifically recognized by T2‐KK1B10 capture aptamer pre‐immobilized on gold modified electrode surface. Then, bio‐ConA was added in the reaction to identify K562 cell surface mannose, resulting in an aptamer‐K562 cell‐bio‐ConA sandwich complex. Finally, streptavidin conjugated alkaline phosphatase (ST‐ALP) combined with the bio‐ConA to catalyze α‐naphthyl (α‐NP) phosphate to form α‐naphthol which is highly electroactive at an operating voltage of 180 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl). Under optimum conditions, the DPV signals were proportional to the logarithm of K562 cell from 1×10² to 1×10⁷ cells mL⁻¹ with a detection limit of 79 cells mL⁻¹. The cytosensor also exhibited high selectivity, stability and reproducibility. When applied to detect K562 cells in human blood samples, recoveries between 79.6 %–93.3 % were obtained, indicating the developed biosensor would be a potential alternative tool for CML K562 cell detection in real biological samples.     

Formulation of Aluminum Chloride Phthalocyanine in Pluronic™ P‐123 and F‐127 Block Copolymer Micelles: Photophysical properties and Photodynamic Inactivation of Microorganisms

Aluminum Chloride Phthalocyanine (AlPcCl) can be used as a photosensitizer (PS) for Photodynamic Inactivation of Microorganisms (PDI). The AlPcCl showed favorable characteristics for PDI due to high quantum yield of singlet oxygen (Φ_Δ) and photostability. Physicochemical properties and photodynamic inactivation of AlPcCl incorporated in polymeric micelles of tri‐block copolymer (P‐123 and F‐127) against microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans were investigated in this work. Previously, it was observed that the AlPcCl undergoes self‐aggregation in F‐127, while in P‐123 the PS is in a monomeric form suitable for PDI. Due to the self‐aggregation of AlPcCl in F‐127, this formulation did not show any effect on these microorganisms. On the other hand, AlPcCl formulated in P‐123 was effective against S. aureus and C. albicans and the death of microorganisms was dependent on the PS concentration and illumination time. Additionally, it was found that the values of PS concentration and illumination time to eradicate 90% of the initial population of microorganisms (IC₉₀ and D₉₀, respectively) were small for the AlPcCl in P‐123, showing the effectiveness of this formulation for PDI.
