Evaluating the glycophenotype on breast cancer tissues with quantum dots-Cramoll lectin conjugates.

Abstract:

:During carcinogenesis, changes in the glycosylation can modulate many biological processes. Thus, the interest in exploring and understanding the roles of carbohydrates as cancer biomarkers has been increasing. Lectins have been applied as useful tools in glycobiology, especially when associated with fluorescent reporters. Therefore, to take advantage of the physicochemical properties of quantum dots (QDs), herein, we conjugated Cramoll, a lectin that recognizes glucose/mannose residues, with those nanoparticles. We applied the conjugates to investigate the glycocode of normal, fibroadenoma (FB), and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) human breast tissues. Additionally, we proposed a method to quantitatively evaluate the tissue labeling intensity by a fluorescence microplate assay (FMA). Conjugates showed intense fluorescence and specificity. The lectin activity and secondary structure were also preserved after the conjugation with QDs. Moreover, fluorescence images showed that ductal cells of normal and FB tissues were preferentially labeled by conjugates, whereas both cells and stroma were strongly labeled in IDC. FMA showed in a quantitative, practical, and sensitive way that the level of exposed glucose/mannose residues increased accordingly to the sample malignancy degree. In conclusion, QDs-Cramoll conjugates can be considered effective, specific, and versatile probes to evaluate glycan profiles in normal and transformed tissues, by fluorescence microscopy as well as FMA quantification. Furthermore, FMA showed to be a potential method that can be applied with other fluorescent conjugates.
