Astemizole-based turn-on fluorescent probes for imaging hERG potassium channel.

ABSTRACT: Based on the scaffold of astemizole, three novel turn-on fluorescent probes (N1-N3) for human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channel were developed herein. These probes have reasonable fluorescence properties, acceptable cell toxicity, and potent inhibitory activity, all of which contribute to cell imaging at the nanomolar level. Overall, these probes have the potential for setting up a screening system for hERG channels.

Astemizole Derivatives as Fluorescent Probes for hERG Potassium Channel Imaging.

Project description:The detection and imaging of hERG potassium channels in living cells can provide useful information for hERG-correlation studies. Herein, three small-molecule fluorescent probes, based on the potent hERG channel inhibitor astemizole, for the imaging of hERG channels in hERG-transfected HEK293 cells (hERG-HEK293) and human colorectal cancer cells (HT-29), are described. These probes are expected to be applied in the physiological and pathological studies of hERG channels.

Selective turn-on fluorescent probes for imaging hydrogen sulfide in living cells.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is an important biological messenger but few biologically-compatible methods are available for its detection. Here we report two bright fluorescent probes that are selective for H(2)S over cysteine, glutathione and other reactive sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen species. Both probes are demonstrated to detect H(2)S in live cells.

Ion conduction through the hERG potassium channel.

Project description:The inward rectifier voltage-gated potassium channel hERG is of primary importance for the regulation of the membrane potential of cardiomyocytes. Unlike most voltage-gated K(+)-channels, hERG shows a low elementary conductance at physiological voltage and potassium concentration. To investigate the molecular features underlying this unusual behavior, we simulated the ion conduction through the selectivity filter at a fully atomistic level by means of molecular dynamics-based methods, using a homology-derived model. According to our calculations, permeation of potassium ions can occur along two pathways, one involving site vacancies inside the filter (showing an energy barrier of about 6 kcal mol(-1)), and the other characterized by the presence of a knock-on intermediate (about 8 kcal mol(-1)). These barriers are indeed in accordance with a low conductance behavior, and can be explained in terms of a series of distinctive structural features displayed by the hERG ion permeation pathway.

NBD-Based Environment-Sensitive Fluorescent Probes for the Human Ether-a-Go-Go-Related Gene Potassium Channel.

Project description:Three environment-sensitive probes were developed for the hERG channel based on the nitrobenzoxadiazole fluorophore herein. After careful evaluation, probes M1 and M3 were found to have a high affinity for imaging the hERG channel in the cell-based experiment. Compared with other fluorescent labeling technologies (such as fluorescent proteins), these probes afford a convenient and economical method to determine hERG channel in vitro and in cellulo. Therefore, these probes are expected to be applicable for usage in physiological and pathological studies of hERG channels and have the potential to establish a screening system for hERG channels.

Rapid, photoactivatable turn-on fluorescent probes based on an intramolecular photoclick reaction.

Project description:Photoactivatable fluorescent probes are invaluable tools for the study of biological processes with high resolution in space and time. Numerous strategies have been developed in generating photoactivatable fluorescent probes, most of which rely on the photo-"uncaging" and photoisomerization reactions. To broaden photoactivation modalities, here we report a new strategy in which the fluorophore is generated in situ through an intramolecular tetrazole-alkene cycloaddition reaction ("photoclick chemistry"). By conjugating a specific microtubule-binding taxoid core to the tetrazole/alkene prefluorophores, robust photoactivatable fluorescent probes were obtained with fast photoactivation (?1 min) and high fluorescence turn-on ratio (up to 112-fold) in acetonitrile/PBS (1:1). Highly efficient photoactivation of the taxoid-tetrazoles inside the mammalian cells was also observed under a confocal fluorescence microscope when the treated cells were exposed to either a metal halide lamp light passing through a 300/395 filter or a 405 nm laser beam. Furthermore, a spatially controlled fluorescent labeling of microtubules in live CHO cells was demonstrated with a long-wavelength photoactivatable taxoid-tetrazole probe. Because of its modular design and tunability of the photoactivation efficiency and photophysical properties, this intramolecular photoclick reaction based approach should provide a versatile platform for designing photoactivatable fluorescent probes for various biological processes.

Synthesis of Small-Molecule Fluorescent Probes for the In Vitro Imaging of Calcium-Activated Potassium Channel KCa 3.1.

Project description:Small-molecule probes for the in vitro imaging of KCa 3.1 channel-expressing cells were developed. Senicapoc, showing high affinity and selectivity for the KCa 3.1 channels, was chosen as the targeting component. BODIPY dyes 15-20 were synthesized and connected by a CuI -catalyzed azide-alkyne [3+2]cycloaddition with propargyl ether senicapoc derivative 8, yielding fluorescently labeled ligands 21-26. The dimethylpyrrole-based imaging probes 25 and 26 allow staining of KCa 3.1 channels in NSCLC cells. The specificity was shown by removing the punctate staining pattern by pre-incubation with senicapoc. The density of KCa 3.1 channels detected with 25 and by immunostaining was identical. The punctate structure of the labeled channels could also be observed in living cells. Molecular modeling showed binding of the senicapoc-targeting component towards the binding site within the ion channel and orientation of the linker with the dye along the inner surface of the ion channel.

Hsp40 chaperones promote degradation of the HERG potassium channel.

Project description:Loss of function mutations in the hERG (human ether-a-go-go related gene or KCNH2) potassium channel underlie the proarrhythmic cardiac long QT syndrome type 2. Most often this is a consequence of defective trafficking of hERG mutants to the cell surface, with channel retention and degradation at the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we identify the Hsp40 type 1 chaperones DJA1 (DNAJA1/Hdj2) and DJA2 (DNAJA2) as key modulators of hERG degradation. Overexpression of the DJAs reduces hERG trafficking efficiency, an effect eliminated by the proteasomal inhibitor lactacystin or with DJA mutants lacking their J domains essential for Hsc70/Hsp70 activation. Both DJA1 and DJA2 cause a decrease in the amount of hERG complexed with Hsc70, indicating a preferential degradation of the complex. Similar effects were observed with the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP. Both the DJAs and CHIP reduce hERG stability and act differentially on folding intermediates of hERG and the disease-related trafficking mutant G601S. We propose a novel role for the DJA proteins in regulating degradation and suggest that they act at a critical point in secretory pathway quality control.

Colorful protein-based fluorescent probes for collagen imaging.

Project description:Real-time visualization of collagen is important in studies on tissue formation and remodeling in the research fields of developmental biology and tissue engineering. Our group has previously reported on a fluorescent probe for the specific imaging of collagen in live tissue in situ, consisting of the native collagen binding protein CNA35 labeled with fluorescent dye Oregon Green 488 (CNA35-OG488). The CNA35-OG488 probe has become widely used for collagen imaging. To allow for the use of CNA35-based probes in a broader range of applications, we here present a toolbox of six genetically-encoded collagen probes which are fusions of CNA35 to fluorescent proteins that span the visible spectrum: mTurquoise2, EGFP, mAmetrine, LSSmOrange, tdTomato and mCherry. While CNA35-OG488 requires a chemical conjugation step for labeling with the fluorescent dye, these protein-based probes can be easily produced in high yields by expression in E. coli and purified in one step using Ni2+-affinity chromatography. The probes all bind specifically to collagen, both in vitro and in porcine pericardial tissue. Some first applications of the probes are shown in multicolor imaging of engineered tissue and two-photon imaging of collagen in human skin. The fully-genetic encoding of the new probes makes them easily accessible to all scientists interested in collagen formation and remodeling.
