Recognition imaging of acetylated chromatin using a DNA aptamer.
Histone acetylation plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression. A DNA aptamer generated by in vitro selection to be highly specific for histone H4 protein acetylated at lysine 16 was used as a recognition element for atomic force microscopy-based recognition imaging of synthetic nucleosomal arrays with precisely controlled acetylation. The aptamer proved to be reasonably speci...
متن کاملSelection and characterization of DNA aptamer for metastatic prostate cancer recognition and tissue imaging
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of death and most prevalent cancer in men. The absence of curative options for castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer and biomarkers able to discriminate between indolent and aggressive tumors contribute to these statistics. In this study, a DNA aptamer termed DML-7 was successfully selected against human PCa cell line DU145 by using th...
متن کاملDNA Aptamer Selected against Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma for in vivo Imaging and Clinical Tissue Recognition
In this work, we have developed a truncated DNA aptamer, termed XQ-2d, with high affinity and specificity for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Aptamer XQ-2d selectively binds to PL45 cells with a dissociation constant in the nanomolar range, as determined by its recognition of PL45 tumor cells in mice. Moreover, XQ-2d shows better recognition ratio for 40 tissue sections of clinical PDA...
متن کاملImmunomagnetic DNA Aptamer Assay
DNA aptamers, oligonucleotides with antibody-like binding properties, are easy to manufacture and modify. As a class of molecules, they represent the biggest revolution to immunodiagnostics since the discovery of monoclonal antibodies. To demonstrate that DNA aptamers are versatile reagents for use as in vitro diagnostic tools, we developed a hybrid immunobead assay based on a 5′-biotinylated D...
متن کاملThrombin–aptamer recognition: a revealed ambiguity
Aptamers are structured oligonucleotides that recognize molecular targets and can function as direct protein inhibitors. The best-known example is the thrombin-binding aptamer, TBA, a single-stranded 15-mer DNA that inhibits the activity of thrombin, the key enzyme of coagulation cascade. TBA folds as a G-quadruplex structure, as proved by its NMR structure. The X-ray structure of the complex b...
