Real-time detection of histone deacetylase activity with a small molecule fluorescent and spectrophotometric probe.

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are central players in transcription regulation and important targets in cancer treatment. Activity assays are critical tools for the study of the function and regulation of these enzymes, as well as for the screening of potential inhibitors. We report a small-molecule probe for single-step, continuous detection of deacetylase activity based on an acetyl-lysine mimic functionalized with an amine-reactive fluorophore, designed to undergo rapid intramolecular imine formation upon deacetylation. The probe exhibits a bathochromic shift in the absorption spectrum and changes in fluorescence emission intensity that enable unprecedented real-time detection of HDAC activity of purified enzymes or in cell lysates, and offers a means to evaluate HDAC inhibitors via simple spectrophotometric or fluorescence readings without the need of additional reagents.

Real-time monitoring of DNA G-quadruplexes in living cells with a small-molecule fluorescent probe.

Project description:G-quadruplex DNA has been viewed as a prospective anti-cancer target owing to its potential biological relevance. Real-time monitoring of DNA G-quadruplex structures in living cells can provide valuable insights into the relationship between G-quadruplex formation and its cellular consequences. However, the probes capable of detecting DNA G-quadruplexes in living cells are still very limited. Herein, we reported a new fluorescent probe, IMT, for real-time visualization of DNA G-quadruplex structures in living cells. Using IMT as a fluorescent indicator, the quantity changes of DNA G-quadruplex at different points in time during continuous cellular progression responding to Aphidicolin and Hydroxyurea treatment have been directly visualized. Our data demonstrate that IMT will be a valuable tool for exploring DNA G-quadruplexes in live cells. Further application of IMT in fluorescence imaging may reveal more information on the roles of DNA G-quadruplexes in biological systems.

A Small-Molecule Fluorescent Probe for the Detection of Mitochondrial Peroxynitrite.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are pivotal signaling molecules that control a variety of physiological functions. As a member of the ROS family, peroxynitrite (ONOO-) possesses strong oxidation and nitrification abilities. Abnormally elevated levels of ONOO- can lead to cellular oxidative stress, which may cause several diseases. In this work, based on the rhodamine fluorophore, we designed and synthesized a novel small-molecule fluorescent probe (DH-1) for ONOO-. Upon reaction with ONOO-, DH-1 exhibited a significant fluorescence signal enhancement (approximately 34-fold). Moreover, DH-1 showed an excellent mitochondria-targeting capability. Confocal fluorescence imaging validated its ability to detect ONOO- changes in HeLa and RAW264.7 cells. Notably, we observed the ONOO- generation during the ferroptosis process by taking advantage of the probe. DH-1 displayed good biocompatibility, facile synthesis, and high selectivity, and may have potential applications in the study of ONOO--associated diseases in biosystems.

Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Combined with Real-Time Fluorescent Probe for Mycoplasma pneumoniae Detection.

Project description:Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is one of the major causes of community-acquired pneumonia, accounting for 20-40% of total cases. Rapid and accurate detection of M. pneumoniae is crucial for the diagnosis and rational selection of antibiotics. In this study, we set up a real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay to detect the conserved gene CARDS of M. pneumoniae. The amplification can be finished in 20 min at a wide temperature range from 37-41 °C. The limit of detection of RPA assay was 10 fg per microliter. Cross-reaction with commonly detected respiratory pathogens was not observed using RPA assay. Among clinical sputum samples, the detection rate of RPA assay and real-time PCR assay was 48.4% (92/190) and 46.3% (88/190), respectively (p = 0.68). Therefore, the RPA assay for M. pneumoniae detection is rapid and easy to use and may serve as a promising test for early diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infection.

FRET enabled real time detection of RNA-small molecule binding.

Project description:A robust analysis and discovery platform for antibiotics targeting the bacterial rRNA A-site has been developed by incorporating a new emissive U surrogate into the RNA and labeling the aminoglycosides with an appropriate fluorescence acceptor. Specifically, a 5-methoxyquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione-based emissive uracil analogue was identified to be an ideal donor for 7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-carboxylic acid. This donor/acceptor pair displays a critical Forster radius (R(0)) of 27 A, a value suitable for an A-site-aminoglycoside assembly. Titrating the coumarin labeled aminoglycosides into the emissive A-site construct, labeled at position U1406, shows a decrease in donor emission (at 395 nm) and concurrent increase of the acceptor emission (at 473 nm). Titration curves, obtained by fitting the donor's emission quenching or the augmentation of the acceptor's sensitized emission, faithfully generate EC(50) values. Titration of unlabeled ligands into the preformed FRET complex showed a continuous increase of the donor emission, with a concurrent decrease of the acceptor emission, yielding valuable data regarding competitive displacement of aminoglycosides by A-site binders. Detection of antibiotic binding is therefore not dependent on changes in the environment of a single fluorophore, but rather on the responsive interaction between two chromophores acting as a FRET pair, facilitating the determination of direct binding and competitive displacement events with FRET accuracy.

A Sensitive and Selective Fluorescent Probe for Real-Time Detection and Imaging of Hypochlorous Acid in Living Cells.

Project description:Hypochlorous acid (HClO), a reactive oxygen species, plays an essential role in the processes of physiology and pathology via reacting with most biological molecules. The abnormal level of HClO may cause inflammation, especially arthritis. To further understand its key role in inflammation, in situ detection of HClO is necessary. Herein, a water-soluble small molecule fluorescent probe (HDI-HClO) is employed to monitor and identify trace amounts of HClO in the biological system. In the presence of HClO, the probe releases a hydroxyl group emitting strong fluorescence because of the restoration of the intramolecular charge transfer process. Furthermore, this probe displays a 150-fold fluorescence enhancement accompanied by a large Stokes shift and a lower detection limit (8.3 nM). Moreover, the probe can make a rapid response to HClO within 8 s, which provides the possibility of real-time monitoring of intracellular HClO. Based on the advantages of rapid dynamics, good water solubility, and excellent biocompatibility, this probe could effectively monitor the fluctuations of exogenous and endogenous HClO in living cells. The fluorescence imaging of HDI-HClO indicated that it is an excellent potential approach for comprehending the relationship between inflammation and HClO.

Small-molecule inhibitors of histone deacetylase improve CRISPR-based adenine base editing.

Project description:CRISPR-based base editors (BEs) are widely used to induce nucleotide substitutions in living cells and organisms without causing the damaging DNA double-strand breaks and DNA donor templates. Cytosine BEs that induce C:G to T:A conversion and adenine BEs that induce A:T to G:C conversion have been developed. Various attempts have been made to increase the efficiency of both BEs; however, their activities need to be improved for further applications. Here, we describe a fluorescent reporter-based drug screening platform to identify novel chemicals with the goal of improving adenine base editing efficiency. The reporter system revealed that histone deacetylase inhibitors, particularly romidepsin, enhanced base editing efficiencies by up to 4.9-fold by increasing the expression levels of proteins and target accessibility. The results support the use of romidepsin as a viable option to improve base editing efficiency in biomedical research and therapeutic genome engineering.

Detection of anatid herpesvirus 1 gC gene by TaqMan fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR with specific primers and probe.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Anatid herpesvirus 1 (AHV-1) is known for the difficulty of monitoring and controlling, because it has a long period of asymptomatic carrier state in waterfowls. Furthermore, as a significant essential agent for viral attachment, release, stability and virulence, gC (UL44) gene and its protein product (glycoprotein C) may play a key role in the epidemiological screening. The objectives of this study were to rapidly, sensitively, quantitatively detect gC gene of AHV-1 and provide the underlying basis for further investigating pcDNA3.1-gC DNA vaccine in infected ducks by TaqMan fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR assay (FQ-PCR) with pcDNA3.1-gC plasmid. RESULTS: The repeatable and reproducible quantitative assay was established by the standard curve with a wide dynamic range (eight logarithmic units of concentration) and very good correlation values (1.000). This protocol was able to detect as little as 1.0 x 101 DNA copies per reaction and it was highly specific to AHV-1. The TaqMan FQ-PCR assay successfully detected the gC gene in tissue samples from pcDNA3.1-gC and AHV-1 attenuated vaccine (AHV-1 Cha) strain inoculated ducks respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The assay offers an attractive method for the detection of AHV-1, the investigation of distribution pattern of AHV-1 in vivo and molecular epidemiological screening. Meanwhile, this method could expedite related AHV-1 and gC DNA vaccine research.

Domain-selective small-molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6)-mediated tubulin deacetylation.

Project description:Protein acetylation, especially histone acetylation, is the subject of both research and clinical investigation. At least four small-molecule histone deacetylase inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. These and other inhibitors also affect microtubule acetylation. A multidimensional, chemical genetic screen of 7,392 small molecules was used to discover "tubacin," which inhibits alpha-tubulin deacetylation in mammalian cells. Tubacin does not affect the level of histone acetylation, gene-expression patterns, or cell-cycle progression. We provide evidence that class II histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is the intracellular target of tubacin. Only one of the two catalytic domains of HDAC6 possesses tubulin deacetylase activity, and only this domain is bound by tubacin. Tubacin treatment did not affect the stability of microtubules but did decrease cell motility. HDAC6 overexpression disrupted the localization of p58, a protein that mediates binding of Golgi elements to microtubules. Our results highlight the role of alpha-tubulin acetylation in mediating the localization of microtubule-associated proteins. They also suggest that small molecules that selectively inhibit HDAC6-mediated alpha-tubulin deacetylation, a first example of which is tubacin, might have therapeutic applications as antimetastatic and antiangiogenic agents.

Quantitative Multiplex Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction with Fluorescent Probe Detection of Killer Immunoglobulin-Like Receptors, KIR2DL4/3DL3.

Project description:(1) Background: KIR2DL4/KIR3DL3 are the framework genes present in all KIR haplotypes, with unique expression patterns being present only in women and CD56bright NK cells. KIR genes have a high degree of DNA sequence identity. Consequently, they are one of the most challenging genes for molecular detection-especially regarding expressions; (2) Methods: We developed an effective method to determine KIR3DL3/KIR2DL4 expressions based on a multiplex quantitative real-time Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR )with fluorescent probes using NK92; (3) Results: Standardizations of the singleplex KIR2DL4 and KIR3DL3 were performed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity for further development of the multiplex assay. The limit of detection was at 500 copies each. There was cross-amplification with the presence of related KIR genes at a level of 5 × 107 copies. This is not biologically significant because this high level of KIR expression has not been found in clinical samples. The multiplex assay was reproducible equivalent to its singleplex (KIR2DL4; R2 = 0.995, KIR3DL3; R2 = 0.996, but lower sensitivity of 103 copies). Furthermore, the validation of the developed method on samples of blood donors showed high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (99.9%); (4) Conclusions: The developed method is reliable and highly specific suitable for evaluation of the KIR2DL4/3DL3 mRNA expressions in further applications.
