A Near-Infrared Fluorogenic Pyrrole-Imidazole Polyamide Probe for Live-Cell Imaging of Telomeres.


ABSTRACT: Telomeres are closely associated with cellular senescence and cancer. Although some techniques have been developed to label telomeres in living cells for study of telomere dynamics, few biocompatible near-infrared probes based on synthetic molecules have been reported. In this study, we developed a near-infrared fluorogenic pyrrole-imidazole polyamide probe (SiR-TTet59B) to visualize telomeres by conjugating a silicon-rhodamine (SiR) fluorophore with a tandem tetramer pyrrole-imidazole polyamide targeting 24 bp in the telomeric double-stranded (ds) DNA. SiR-TTet59B was almost nonfluorescent in water but increased its fluorescence dramatically on binding to telomeric dsDNA. Using a peptide-based delivery reagent, we demonstrated the specific and effective visualization of telomeres in living U2OS cells. Moreover, SiR-TTet59B could be used to observe the dynamic movements of telomeres during interphase and mitosis. This simple imaging method using a synthetic near-infrared probe could be a powerful tool for studies of telomeres and for diagnosis.
