Intracellular Uptake of E-combretastatins by Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging
Combretastatins have been recognised as potential anticancer drugs, interacting with tubulin, preventing microtubule assembly and inhibiting angiogenesis in developing tumours [1]. The most widely studied molecule, combretastatin A4 (CA4), is based on natural products isolated from the African bush willow. Combretastatins are substituted stilbenes and exist as E(trans)and Z(cis)isomers and the ...
متن کاملCellular uptake and intracellular localization of benzo(a)pyrene by digital fluorescence imaging microscopy
Uptake of benzo(a)pyrene by living cultured cells has been visualized in real time using digital fluorescence-imaging microscopy. Benzo(a)pyrene was noncovalently associated with lipoproteins, as a physiologic mode of presentation of the carcinogen to cells. When incubated with either human fibroblasts or murine P388D1 macrophages, benzo(a)pyrene uptake occurred in the absence of endocytosis, w...
متن کاملFluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy of intracellular glucose dynamics.
BACKGROUND One of the major hurdles in studying diabetes pathophysiology is the lack of adequate methodology that allows for direct and real-time determination of glucose transport and metabolism in cells and tissues. In this article, we present a new methodology that adopts frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FD-FLIM) to visualize and quantify the dynamics of intracellul...
متن کاملMonitoring Photosensitizer Uptake Using Two Photon Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) provides an opportunity for treatment of various invasive tumors by the use of a cancer targeting photosensitizing agent and light of specific wavelengths. However, real-time monitoring of drug localization is desirable because the induction of the phototoxic effect relies on interplay between the dosage of localized drug and light. Fluorescence emission in PDT may be...
متن کاملCellular uptake and intracellular degradation of poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles
BACKGROUND Poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) (PACA) nanoparticles have shown promise as drug carriers both to solid tumors and across the blood-brain barrier. Efficient drug delivery requires both high cellular uptake of the nanoparticles and release of the drug from the nanoparticles. Release of hydrophobic drugs from PACA nanoparticles is primarily governed by nanoparticle degradation, and this proce...
