Abstract:
:Molecules designed for cell-specific imaging were studied, taking advantage of an enzyme-inhibitor interaction. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) can be actively captured by cells which express the surface membrane protein α-glucosidase. New probes composed of DNJ for recognition linked to a fluorophore signal portion were prepared (DNJ-CF31, DNJ-Dans 2 and DNJ-DEAC 3). Docking simulations revealed that the inhibitors acarbose and miglitol and the inhibitor portion of the probes bind at the same position in the pocket of α-glucosidase (human-derived PDB: 3TON). The ability of probes 1-3 to detect the difference between HeLa cells (from human cervical cancer tissue), Neuro-2a cells (from a mouse neuroblastoma C1300 tumor), N1E-115 cells (from a mouse brain neuroblastoma C1300 tumor), A1 cells (from the astrocyte of a newborn mouse brain), and Caco-2 cells (from a human colon carcinoma) was evaluated, and cell-specific fluorescence imaging was possible for conjugate probes 1 and 2. Caco-2 cells treated with probes 1 and 2 showed blue and green fluorescence, respectively, from the cell membrane, and did not stain the Caco-2 cells inside. These results show that DNJ-CF31 and DNJ-Dans 2 recognize an α-glucosidase protein on the surface of Caco-2 cells. Probes 1 and 2 did not stain any part of the other cells. This cell-specific imaging strategy is applicable for a variety of therapeutic agents for many diseases.
