Development of functionalized SYBR green II related cyanine dyes for viral RNA detection
2020
Fluorescent probes for sensing nucleic acids have found widespread use in the field of cell and molecular biology. However, probes combined with potential for post-synthetic conjugation, e.g. for intra-endosomal measurements of RNA, are unavailable. Herein we developed cyanine dyes that can be conjugated to viral capsid or other targets. First, we solved the crystal structure of SYBR Green II. The structural elucidation of this commonly used RNA probe provided the basis for synthesizing similar molecules with much desired function for post-synthetic conjugation. To address this need, cyanine dyes were prepared using an alternative synthesis protocol. All studied compounds showed considerabl…
Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Fluorescent Analogues of Abscisic Acid
2020
A fluorescent analogue of abscisic acid has been prepared by combining (S)‐abscisic acid (ABA) with nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) fluorophore using ethanol amine as a linker. Isomerization of the double bond at the side chain of abscisic acid happened during the synthesis. The resulting fluorophore analogues derived from both isomeric compounds entered cells suggesting a wide applicability of the ABA‐NBD conjugates as fluorescent probes to study ABA mechanism of action. The functional properties of the isomeric ABA‐NBD conjugates were tested in vitro, by measuring TNFα expression and nitrite concentration in LPS‐stimulated macrophages and compared with their non‐fluorescent ABA isomers. Rationa…
FRET fluorescento proteīnu balstītu pH sensoru izveide
2018
Iekššūnas vides pH ir būtisks parametrs, kas raksturo šūnā notiekošos procesus, kā arī šūnas vitalitāti. Fluorescento proteīnu pielietošana pH noteikšanai ir daudzsološa metode. Pieejami atšķirīgas pH jutības fluorescentie proteīni, tie neuzrāda augstu toksicitāti un invazivitāti, padarot tos piemērotus dzīvu šūnu pētījumiem. Maģistra darba mērķis bija izveidot fluorescento proteīnu saturošus konstruktus ar atšķirīgu pH jutības slieksni, izmantojot Aquamarine, ECFP, EYFP un Citrine fluorescentos proteīnus, kas darbosies kā pH sensoru sistēma dzīvās šūnās, izmantojot FRET metodi. Trīs konstrukciju izveide (pAqua-HL3-Citrine, pAqua-HL3-EYFP, pECFP-HL3-EYFP) veikta ar dažādām metodiskajām piee…

Antitumor Effect of Cabozantinib in Bone Metastatic Models of Renal Cell Carcinoma
2021
Background: The presence of bone metastases in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) negatively affects patients’ survival. Data from clinical trials has highlighted a significant benefit of cabozantinib in bone metastatic RCC patients. Here, we evaluated the antitumor effect of cabozantinib in coculture models of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and osteoblasts (OBs) to investigate whether and how its antiproliferative activity is influenced by OBs. Methods: Bone/RCC models were generated, coculturing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Caki-1 and 786-O cells with human primary OBs in a “cell–cell contact” system. RCC proliferation and the OB molecular profile were evaluated after the cabozantinib treat…

Photobleaching and Recovery Kinetics of a Palette of Carbon Nanodots Probed by In Situ Optical Spectroscopy
2022
Carbon dots (CDs) are a family of fluorescent nanoparticles displaying a wide range of interesting properties, which make them attractive for potential applications in different fields like bioimaging, photocatalysis, and many others. However, despite many years of dedicated studies, wide variations exist in the literature concerning the reported photostability of CDs, and even the photoluminescence mechanism is still unclear. Furthermore, an increasing number of recent studies have highlighted the photobleaching (PB) of CDs under intense UV or visible light beams. PB phenomena need to be fully addressed to optimize practical uses of CDs and can also provide information on the fundamental m…
The effect of PLC-inhibitor on echovirus 1 internalization probed with fluorescently labeled echovirus 1
2014
Echovirus 1 (EV1) kuuluu Pikornavirusperheeseen ja tarkemmin luokiteltuna Enterovirusten sukuun. EV1 on pieni ja vaipaton RNA-virus, jonka proteiinikuori koostuu neljästä proteiinista VP1-VP4. Infektion on osoitettu alkavan, kun EV1 tarttuu α2β1-integriiniin solun pinnalla, jonka jälkeen virus otetaan solun sisään kaveoliinivälitteistä endosytoosia sekä makropinosytoosia muistuttavalla mekanismilla. Toisaalta sitä, kuinka virus avautuu sekä vapauttaa RNA:nsa, ei vielä tarkalleen tiedetä. Tässä tutkimuksessa EV1 puhdistettiin ensin sakkaroosigradientilla, jonka jälkeen virus leimattiin fluoresoivalla amiinireaktiivisella värillä. Tulokset osoittivat, että leimauksen onnistumiseksi tarvitaan …
Baculovirus display strategies: Emerging tools for eukaryotic libraries and gene delivery
2004
Recombinant baculoviruses have been extensively used as vectors for abundant expression of a large variety of foreign proteins in insect cell cultures. The appeal of the system lies essentially in easy cloning techniques and virus propagation combined with the eukaryotic post-translational modification machinery of the insect cell. Recently, a novel molecular biology tool was established by the development of baculovirus surface display, using different strategies for presentation of foreign peptides and proteins on the surface of budded virions. This eukaryotic display system enables presentation of large complex proteins on the surface of baculovirus particles and has thereby become a ver…
