A GGCT fluorogenic probe: design, synthesis and application to cancer-related cells.

چکیده
Cancer-related γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase (GGCT) specifically converts γ-glutamyl amino acids (γ-Glu-Xaa) into pyroglutamate and the corresponding amino acids (Xaa). Here we report a novel GGCT fluorogenic probe "LISA-101" containing a masked O-acylated fluorophore "resorufin" on the side chain of the P amino acid (Xaa). Upon GGCT treatment, the P amino acid was liberated and spontaneously released the intact fluorophore. Thus, the fluorescence was regained. LISA-101 will expand the strategies for cancer studies.

Cancer has emerged as a leading cause of death throughout the world. Peptides are a novel class of anticancer agents that can specifically target cancer cells with low toxicity to normal tissues and thus, offer new opportunities for future cancer treatment. On the other hand, Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic, also known to its anticancer property for enabling cell cycle arrest and creating double s...

متن کاملLocalization and characterization of γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase in cancer cells.
Using differential display analysis, we have identified a novel rat gene whose expression is increased during tumor progression in rat mammary carcinoma cell lines. This gene is an ortholog of the human chromosome 7 open reading frame 24 gene (C7orf24) and encodes a protein of 188 amino acids with no recognized protein domains. C7orf24 has been identified as γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase (GGCT), ...

Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM 138) xenografts. These agents showed a high relaxivity because of their greater potential to coordinate water molecules. The reduction of T1 relaxation times of 16 and 21% was observed i...
