Detection of Active Granzyme A in NK92 Cells with Fluorescent Activity-Based Probe.

ABSTRACT: Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer cells (NKs) kill compromised cells to defend against tumor and viral infections. Both effector cell types use multiple strategies to induce target cell death including Fas/CD95 activation and the release of perforin and a group of lymphocyte granule serine proteases called granzymes. Granzymes have relatively broad and overlapping substrate specificities and may hydrolyze a wide range of peptidic epitopes; it is therefore challenging to identify their natural and synthetic substrates and to distinguish their localization and functions. Here, we present a specific and potent substrate, an inhibitor, and an activity-based probe of Granzyme A (GrA) that can be used to follow functional GrA in cells.

Cytotoxicity of CD19-CAR-NK92 cells is primarily mediated via perforin/granzyme pathway.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have improved cancer immunotherapy in recent years. Immune cells, such as Natural killer cells (NK-cells) or T cells, are used as effector cells in CAR-therapy. NK92-cells, a cell line with known cytotoxic activity, are of particular interest in CAR-therapy since culturing conditions are simple and anti-tumor efficacy combined with a manageable safety profile was proven in clinical trials. The major pathways of immune effector cells, including NK92-cells, to mediate cytotoxicity, are the perforin/granzyme and the death-receptor pathway. Detailed knowledge of CAR-effector cells' cytotoxic mechanisms is essential to unravel resistance mechanisms, which potentially arise by resistance against apoptosis-inducing signaling. Since mutations in apoptosis pathways are frequent in lymphoma, the impact on CAR-mediated cytotoxicity is of clinical interest. In this study, knockout models of CD19-CAR-NK92 cells were designed, to investigate cytotoxic pathways in vitro. Knockout of perforin 1 (Prf1) and subsequent abrogation of the perforin/granzyme pathway dramatically reduced the cytotoxicity of CD19-CAR-NK92 cells. In contrast, knockout of FasL and inhibition of TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligands) did not impair cytotoxicity in most conditions. In conclusion, these results indicate the perforin/granzyme pathway as the major pathway to mediate cytotoxicity in CD19-CAR-NK92 cells.

Detection of Lipase Activity in Cells by a Fluorescent Probe Based on Formation of Self-Assembled Micelles.

Project description:Reliable and sensitive detection of lipase activity is essential for the early diagnosis and monitoring of acute pancreatitis or progression of digestive diseases. However, the available fluorescent probes for detection of lipase activity are only implemented in a hexane-water two-phase system due to the nature of heterogeneous catalysis of lipase, thus limiting their applications in direct imaging of lipase activity in living cells and tissues. Here we designed and synthesized a "turn on" fluorescent probe CPP based on self-assembled micelles for hydrolysis of lipase. The CPP probe exhibits high selectivity and excellent sensitivity for the detection of lipase in such a homogeneous system and is successfully applied for monitoring lipase activity in pancreatic AR42J cells, tissues, and serums. Taken together, the fluorescent CPP probe not only provides a tool for diagnostic potential in pancreatic disease but also demonstrates an application potential for micelle self-assembly-based development of biological probes.

A curcumin-based AIEE-active fluorescent probe for Cu<sup>2+</sup> detection in aqueous solution.

Project description:Curcuminoids have been extensively investigated as metal ion probes, but the intrinsic aggregation-caused-quenching (ACQ) characteristic of curcumin would hinder their applications in aqueous solution. Fortunately, tetraphenylethylene (TPE) could endow the compounds with aggregation-induced emission (AIE)/aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) characteristics to eliminate the ACQ effect. According to this strategy, a series of TPE-modified curcumin derivatives L1-4 were prepared and studied for their AIEE properties. Among the four TPE-curcumin analogues, only L1 particles have been successfully used as an on-off fluorescence probe for detecting Cu2+ in aqueous solution. The fluorescence titration experiment determined its detection limit of 1.49 × 10-7 mol L-1, and the binding ratio between L1 and Cu2+ was estimated as 2 : 1, which was in agreement with the results of high resolution mass spectrum and Job's plot. In addition, the binding constant was evaluated as 6.77 × 102 M-1 using a Benesi-Hildebrand plot. Finally, the obtained L1-based indicator paper showed significant fluorescence response to Cu2+ aqueous solution. This TPE-modified strategy improves the detection capability of curcumin probe in aqueous solution and provides a feasible way to obtain other probes with ACQ characteristics.

A Fast-Response AIE-Active Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe for the Detection of Carboxylesterase.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a high mortality rate worldwide. The therapeutic outcomes can be significantly improved if diagnosis and treatment are initiated earlier in the disease process. Recently, the carboxylesterase (CaE) activity/level in human plasma was reported to be a novel serological biomarker candidate for HCC. In this article, we fabricated a new fluorescent probe with AIE characteristics for the rapid detection of CaE with a more reliable ratiometric response mode. The TCFISE probe showed high sensitivity (LOD: 93.0 μU/mL) and selectivity toward CaE. Furthermore, the good pH stability, superior resistance against photobleaching, and low cytotoxicity highlight the high potential of the TCFISE probe for application in the monitoring of CaE activity in complex biological samples and in live cells, tissues, and animals.

Long Wavelength TCF-Based Fluorescent Probe for the Detection of Alkaline Phosphatase in Live Cells.

Project description:A long wavelength TCF-based fluorescent probe (TCF-ALP) was developed for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). ALP-mediated hydrolysis of the phosphate group of TCF-ALP resulted in a significant fluorescence "turn on" (58-fold), which was accompanied by a colorimetric response from yellow to purple. TCF-ALP was cell-permeable, which allowed it to be used to image ALP in HeLa cells. Upon addition of bone morphogenic protein 2, TCF-ALP proved capable of imaging endogenously stimulated ALP in myogenic murine C2C12 cells. Overall, TCF-ALP offers promise as an effective fluorescent/colorimetric probe for evaluating phosphatase activity in clinical assays or live cell systems.

A red-emitting naphthofluorescein-based fluorescent probe for selective detection of hydrogen peroxide in living cells.

Project description:We report the synthesis, properties, and cellular application of Naphtho-Peroxyfluor-1 (NPF1), a new fluorescent indicator for hydrogen peroxide based on a red-emitting naphthofluorescein platform. Owing to its boronate cages, NPF1 features high selectivity for hydrogen peroxide over a panel of biologically relevant reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide and nitric oxide, as well as excitation and emission profiles in the far-red region of the visible spectrum (>600nm). Flow cytometry experiments in RAW264.7 macrophages establish that NPF1 can report changes in peroxide levels in living cells.

A Naphthalimide-Based Fluorescent Probe for the Detection and Imaging of Mercury Ions in Living Cells.

Project description:The selective and efficient monitoring of mercury (Hg2+ ) contamination found in the environment and ecosystem has been carried out. Thus, a new 1,8-naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe NADP for the detection of Hg2+ based on a fluorescence enhancement strategy has been designed and synthesized. The NADP probe can detect Hg2+ with high selectivity and sensitivity and a low detection limit of 13 nm. The detection mechanism was based on a Hg2+ -triggered deprotection reaction, resulting in a dramatic change in fluorescence from colorless to green at physiological pH. Most importantly, biological investigation has shown that the NADP probe can be successfully applied to the monitoring of Hg2+ in living cells and zebrafish with low cytotoxicity.

A peptide-based fluorescent probe images ERAAP activity in cells and in high throughput assays.

Project description:ERAAP is an intracellular amino-peptidase that plays a central role in determining the repertoire of peptides displayed by cells by MHC class I molecules, and dysfunctions in ERAAP are linked to a variety of diseases. There is therefore great interest in developing probes that can image ERAAP in cells. In this report we present a fluorescent probe, termed Ep, that can image ERAAP activity in live cells. Ep is composed of a 10 amino acid ERAAP substrate that has a donor quencher pair conjugated to it, composed of BODIPY and dinitro-toluene. Ep undergoes a 20-fold increase in fluorescence after ERAAP cleavage, and was able to image ERAAP activity in cell culture via fluorescence microscopy. In addition, we used Ep to develop a high throughput screen for ERAAP inhibitors, and screened an electrophile library containing 1460 compounds. From this Ep based screen we identified aromatic alkyne-ketone as a lead fragment that can irreversibly inhibit ERAAP activity. We anticipate numerous applications of Ep given its unique ability to image ERAAP within cells.

A microtubule-localizing activity-based sensing fluorescent probe for imaging hydrogen peroxide in living cells.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a major reactive oxygen species (ROS) in living systems with broad roles spanning both oxidative stress and redox signaling. Indeed, owing to its potent redox activity, regulating local sites of H2O2 generation and trafficking is critical to determining downstream physiological and/or pathological consequences. We now report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of Microtubule Peroxy Yellow 1 (MT-PY1), an activity-based sensing fluorescent probe bearing a microtubule-targeting moiety for detection of H2O2 in living cells. MT-PY1 utilizes a boronate trigger to show a selective and robust turn-on response to H2O2 in aqueous solution and in living cells. Live-cell microscopy experiments establish that the probe co-localizes with microtubules and retains its localization after responding to changes in levels of H2O2, including detection of endogenous H2O2 fluxes produced upon growth factor stimulation. This work adds to the arsenal of activity-based sensing probes for biological analytes that enable selective molecular imaging with subcellular resolution.

Fluorescent Mechanism-Based Probe for Aerobic Flavin-Dependent Enzyme Activity.

Project description:Diversity in non-ribosomal peptide and polyketide secondary metabolism is facilitated by interactions between biosynthetic domains with discrete monomer loading and their cognate tailoring enzymes, such as oxidation or halogenation enzymes. The cooperation between peptidyl carrier proteins and flavin-dependent enzymes offers a specialized strategy for monomer selectivity for oxidization of small molecules from within a complex cellular milieu. In an effort to study this process, we have developed fluorescent probes to selectively label aerobic flavin-dependent enzymes. Here we report the preparation and implementation of these tools to label oxidase, monooxygenase, and halogenase flavin-dependent enzymes.
