A Near-infrared Turn-on Fluorescent Sensor for Sensitive and Specific Detection of Albumin from Urine Samples.

ABSTRACT: A readily synthesizable fluorescent probe DMAT-?-CAP was evaluated for sensitive and selective detection of human serum albumin (HSA). DMAT-?-CAP showed selective turn-on fluorescence at 730 nm in the presence of HSA with more than 720-fold enhancement in emission intensity ([DMAT-?-CAP] = 10 ?M), and rapid detection of HSA was accomplished in 3 seconds. The fluorescence intensity of DMAT-?-CAP was shown to increase in HSA concentration-dependent manner (Kd = 15.4 ± 3.3 ?M), and the limit of detection of DMAT-?-CAP was determined to be 10.9 nM (0.72 mg/L). The 1:1 stoichiometry between DMAT-?-CAP and HSA was determined, and the displacement assay revealed that DMAT-?-CAP competes with hemin for the unique binding site, which rarely accommodates drugs and endogenous compounds. Based on the HSA-selective turn-on NIR fluorescence property as well as the unique binding site, DMAT-?-CAP was anticipated to serve as a fluorescence sensor for quantitative detection of the HSA level in biological samples with minimized background interference. Thus, urine samples were directly analyzed by DMAT-?-CAP to assess albumin levels, and the results were comparable to those obtained from immunoassay. The similar sensitivity and specificity to the immunoassay along with the simple, cost-effective, and fast detection of HSA warrants practical application of the NIR fluorescent albumin sensor, DMAT-?-CAP, in the analysis of albumin levels in various biological environments.

Project description:Complete tumor removal during surgery has a great impact on patient survival. To that end, the surgeon should detect the tumor, remove it and validate that there are no residual cancer cells left behind. Residual cells at the incision margin of the tissue removed during surgery are associated with tumor recurrence and poor prognosis for the patient. In order to remove the tumor tissue completely with minimal collateral damage to healthy tissue, there is a need for diagnostic tools that will differentiate between the tumor and its normal surroundings. Methods: We designed, synthesized and characterized three novel polymeric Turn-ON probes that will be activated at the tumor site by cysteine cathepsins that are highly expressed in multiple tumor types. Utilizing orthotopic breast cancer and melanoma models, which spontaneously metastasize to the brain, we studied the kinetics of our polymeric Turn-ON nano-probes. Results: To date, numerous low molecular weight cathepsin-sensitive substrates have been reported, however, most of them suffer from rapid clearance and reduced signal shortly after administration. Here, we show an improved tumor-to-background ratio upon activation of our Turn-ON probes by cathepsins. The signal obtained from the tumor was stable and delineated the tumor boundaries during the whole surgical procedure, enabling accurate resection. Conclusions: Our findings show that the control groups of tumor-bearing mice, which underwent either standard surgery under white light only or under the fluorescence guidance of the commercially-available imaging agents ProSense® 680 or 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), survived for less time and suffered from tumor recurrence earlier than the group that underwent image-guided surgery (IGS) using our Turn-ON probes. Our "smart" polymeric probes can potentially assist surgeons' decision in real-time during surgery regarding the tumor margins needed to be removed, leading to improved patient outcome.
