Abstract

A single platform for gene and protein expression studies is proposed to pursue rapid diagnostics. A common method to synthesize gold (Au) nanoclusters on both DNA and protein template was developed using a benchtop device. The method of synthesis is rapid and versatile and can be applied to different classes of DNA/protein. Employing luminescent Au nanoclusters as the signal-generating agents, the device enables carrying out reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and array-based analyses of multiple genes/proteins simultaneously using switchable holders and custom-designed software. The device and methods were applied to evaluate gene profiling related to apoptosis in HeLa cancer cells and further to analyze the protein expressions of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and GST-tagged human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GST-hGMCSF) recombinant proteins purified from bacterial strains of BL21(DE3) Escherichia coli (E. coli). The device with user-friendly methods for diagnosis using the luminescence of Au nanoclusters offers potential use in disease diagnostics with a vision to extend health care facilities especially to remote geographical locations.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
