Inducing cellular senescence in vitro by using genetically encoded photosensitizers
Cellular senescence, a form of cell cycle arrest, is one of the cellular responses to different types of exogenous and endogenous damage. The senescence phenotype can be induced in vitro by oncogene overexpression and/or DNA damage. Recently, we have reported a novel mechanism of cellular senescence induction by mild genotoxic stress. Specifically, we have shown that the formation of a small nu...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Physiology—Photonanomanipulations in Cellular Physiology with Protein Photosensitizers
Singlet oxygen generated in a type II photodynamic action, due to its limited lifetime (1 μs) and reactive distance (<10 nm), could regulate live cell function nanoscopically. The genetically-encoded protein photosensitizers (engineered fluorescent proteins such as KillerRed, TagRFP, and flavin-binding proteins such as miniSOG, Pp2FbFPL30M) could be expressed in a cell type- and/or subcellular ...
متن کاملTargeted Photodynamic Virotherapy Armed with a Genetically Encoded Photosensitizer.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive antitumor therapy that eradicates tumor cells through a photosensitizer-mediated cytotoxic effect upon light irradiation. However, systemic administration of photosensitizer often makes it difficult to avoid a photosensitive adverse effect. The red fluorescent protein KillerRed generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon green light irradiatio...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF CHOLECYSTOKININ RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS ON MORPHINE- AND COCAINEINDUCED HYPOTHERMIA
The effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonists on hypothermia induced by cocaine or morphine have been studied in mice. In the present work, subcutaneous (SC) injection of cocaine (50-150 mg/kg) or morphine (125-500 mg/kg) induced hypothermia in mice. Administration of CCKA receptor antagonist MK-329 (0.5-1.5 mg/kg), CCKB receptor antagonist L-365, 260 (0.5-1.5 mgl kg) and CCK r...
متن کاملSubcellular Protein Localization by Using a Genetically Encoded Fluorescent Amino Acid
The use of fluorescent protein fusions has revolutionized cell biology by allowing exploration of proteins in their native context. However, the utilization of current techniques is limited by the size and placement of the fused fluorescent protein. This is especially true for proteins that oligomerize or assemble into large complexes in which the fluorescent protein fusion can lead to improper...
