Nanoparticle probes for quantifying supramolecular determinants of biosurface affinity.

ABSTRACT: Interactions between macromolecular systems and biosurfaces are complicated by both the complexity of these multivalent interactions and challenges in quantifying affinities. A library of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as multivalent probes is used to quantify biosurface affinity, using hair as a model targeted substrate.

Polyanionic Cyclodextrin Induced Supramolecular Nanoparticle.

Project description:Ionizable cyclodextrins have attracted increasing attention in host-guest chemistry and pharmaceutical industry, mainly due to the introduction of favorable electrostatic interactions. The ionizable cyclodextrins could not only enhance its own solubility but also induce oppositely charged guests to form more stable complex. However, the aggregation induced by charged cyclodextrins has rarely been reported. In this work, guided by the concept of molecular-induced aggregation, a series of carboxyl modified cyclodextrins were synthesized via "click" and hydrolysis reaction. Then, UV-vis spectrum was used to investigate the aggregating behaviors induced by these cyclodextrins towards the cationic guest molecules. The results showed that only the hepta-carboxyl-β-cyclodextrin could induce the guest molecules to self-assemble into supramolecular spherical nanoparticles. Meanwhile, it could form stable inclusion complex with amantadine, a drug for anti-Parkinson and antiviral. The assembly behaviors were investigated by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope, transmission electron microscope and NMR spectroscopy. The supramolecular nanoparticles induced by hepta-carboxyl-β-CD and its inclusion with amantadine could be used to encapsulate the model drug and achieve its controlled releasing behaviors.

Carbon nanoparticle-based fluorescent bioimaging probes.

Project description:Fluorescent nanoparticle-based imaging probes have advanced current labelling technology and are expected to generate new medical diagnostic tools based on their superior brightness and photostability compared with conventional molecular probes. Although significant progress has been made in fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystal-based biological labelling and imaging, the presence of heavy metals and the toxicity issues associated with heavy metals have severely limited the application potential of these nanocrystals. Here, we report a fluorescent carbon nanoparticle-based, alternative, nontoxic imaging probe that is suitable for biological staining and diagnostics. We have developed a chemical method to synthesise highly fluorescent carbon nanoparticles 1-10 nm in size; these particles exhibit size-dependent, tunable visible emission. These carbon nanoparticles have been transformed into various functionalised nanoprobes with hydrodynamic diameters of 5-15 nm and have been used as cell imaging probes.

Nanoparticle-Based Activatable Probes for Bioimaging.

Project description:Molecular imaging can provide functional and molecular information at the cellular or subcellular level in vivo in a noninvasive manner. Activatable nanoprobes that can react to the surrounding physiological environment or biomarkers are appealing agents to improve the efficacy, specificity, and sensitivity of molecular imaging. The physiological parameters, including redox status, pH, presence of enzymes, and hypoxia, can be designed as the stimuli of the activatable probes. However, the success rate of imaging nanoprobes for clinical translation is low. Herein, the recent advances in nanoparticle-based activatable imaging probes are critically reviewed. In addition, the challenges for clinical translation of these nanoprobes are also discussed in this review.

Supramolecular caging for cytosolic delivery of anionic probes.

Project description:The cytosolic delivery of hydrophilic, anionic molecular probes and therapeutics is a major challenge in chemical biology and medicine. Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of peptide-cage hybrids that allow an efficient supramolecular binding, cell membrane translocation and cytosolic delivery of a number of anionic dyes, including pyranine, carboxyfluorescein and several sulfonate-containing Alexa dyes. This supramolecular caging strategy is successful in different cell lines, and the dynamic carrier mechanism has been validated by U-tube experiments. The high efficiency of the reported approach allowed intracellular pH tracking by exploiting the ratiometric excitation of the pyranine fluorescent probe.

Photoswitchable non-fluorescent thermochromic dye-nanoparticle hybrid probes.

Project description:Photoswitchable fluorescent proteins with controllable light-dark states and spectral shifts in emission in response to light have led to breakthroughs in the study of cell biology. Nevertheless, conventional photoswitching is not applicable for weakly fluorescent proteins and requires UV light with low depth penetration in bio-tissue. Here we introduce a novel concept of photoswitchable hybrid probes consisting of thermochromic dye and absorbing nanoparticles, in which temperature-sensitive light-dark states and spectral shifts in absorption can be switched through controllable photothermal heating of doped nanoparticles. The proof-of-concept is demonstrated through the use of two different types of temperature-sensitive dyes doped with magnetic nanoparticles and reversibly photoswitched by a near-infrared laser. Photoacoustic imaging revealed the high contrast of these probes, which is sufficient for their visualization in cells and deep tissue. Our results suggest that these new photoswitchable multicolour probes can be used for multimodal cellular diagnostics and potentially for magnetic and photothermal therapy.

Supramolecular Rotaxane-Based Multi-Modal Probes for Cancer Biomarker Imaging.

Project description:Mechanically interlocked molecules present opportunities to construct therapeutic drugs and diagnostic imaging agents but harnessing supramolecular chemistry to make biologically active probes in water is a challenge. Here, we describe a rotaxane-based approach to synthesise radiolabelled proteins and peptides for molecular imaging of cancer biomarkers in vivo. Host-guest chemistry using β-cyclodextrin- and cucurbit[6]uril-catalysed cooperative capture synthesis produced gallium-68 or zirconium-89 radiolabelled metallo[4]rotaxanes. Photochemical conjugation to trastuzumab led to a viable positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer. The rotaxane architecture can be tuned to accommodate different radiometal ion complexes, other protein- or peptide-based drugs, and fluorophores for optical detection. This technology provides a platform to explore how mechanical bonding can improve drug delivery, enhance tumour specificity, control radiotracer pharmacokinetics, and reduce dosimetry.

Colorimetric bacteria sensing using a supramolecular enzyme-nanoparticle biosensor.

Project description:Rapid and sensitive detection of pathogens is a key requirement for both environmental and clinical settings. We report here a colorimetric enzyme-nanoparticle conjugate system for detection of microbial contamination. In this approach, cationic gold nanoparticles (NPs) featuring quaternary amine headgroups are electrostatically bound to an enzyme [β-galactosidase (β-Gal)], inhibiting enzyme activity. Analyte bacteria bind to the NP, which releases the β-Gal and restores its activity, providing an enzyme-amplified colorimetric readout of the binding event. Using this strategy, we have been able to quantify bacteria at concentrations of 1 × 10(2) bacteria/mL in solution and 1 × 10(4) bacteria/mL in a field-friendly test strip format.

Quantifying evolutionary constraints on B-cell affinity maturation.

Project description:The antibody repertoire of each individual is continuously updated by the evolutionary process of B-cell receptor (BCR) mutation and selection. It has recently become possible to gain detailed information concerning this process through high-throughput sequencing. Here, we develop modern statistical molecular evolution methods for the analysis of B-cell sequence data, and then apply them to a very deep short-read dataset of BCRs. We find that the substitution process is conserved across individuals but varies significantly across gene segments. We investigate selection on BCRs using a novel method that side-steps the difficulties encountered by previous work in differentiating between selection and motif-driven mutation; this is done through stochastic mapping and empirical Bayes estimators that compare the evolution of in-frame and out-of-frame rearrangements. We use this new method to derive a per-residue map of selection, which provides a more nuanced view of the constraints on framework and variable regions.
