Abstract

A novel nanoparticle-based fluorescence probe was developed for NF-κB transcription factor detection and in situ imaging via steric hindrance. The probe contains gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to quench fluorescence, and nucleic acids immobilized on the surface of AuNPs to output fluorescence. In the basal state, Cy5 labeled DNA1 folds its long chain into a hairpin structure and quenches fluorescence by forcing the Cy5 fluorophore close to the surface of AuNPs. After the probe enters the cell, the NF-κB transcription factor can bind to the κB site in the DNA duplex of the nucleic acids. The steric hindrance caused by NF-κB leads to the extension of the long chain of DNA1 and the removal of the Cy5 fluorophore from the surface of AuNPs, thereby restoring the fluorescence of the probe. By measuring NF-κB in cell lysis in vitro, the probe obtains a detection limit of 0.38 nM and the linear range from 0.5 to 16 nM. Repeated measurements showed the recovery in the cell nuclear extract was between 93.38 and 109.32%, with relative standard deviation less than 5%. By monitoring the sub-localization of the Cy5 fluorophore in single cell, the probe system can effectively distinguish active NF-κB (nucleus) and inactive NF-κB (cytoplasm) throu...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
