Synthesis and Purification of Cy5.5-Labeled Lung Targeting Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Linear Cy5.5 labeled lung targeting peptides (LTPs) were synthesized on a Liberty CEM microwave synthesizer using Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (FMOC) chemistry. Stepwise addition of each FMOC protected amino acid was accomplished on an amide resin as solid support using Ethyl-(2Z)-2-cyano-2-hydroxyiminoacetate/N,N-Diisopropylcarbodiimide (Oxyma/DIC) activation chemistry. The N-terminal amino group of the resin bound LTP peptides were then conjugated with Cy5.5-NHS (Lumiprobe Corporation) in DIPEA/DMF. Final cleavage of Cy5.5-LTP from the resin with Trifluoroacetic acid : Triisopropylsilane : H2O (TFA:TIPS:H2O-90:25:25) was followed by precipitation in Diethyl Ether (EtO2). The resulting crude Cy5.5-LTP peptides were purified by semi-preparative C-5 RP-HPLC on a Waters Delta Prep 4000 chromatography system using standard Acetonitrile/0.1%TFA gradient conditions.
MALDI-TOF analysis of the purified conjugates on an Applied Biosystems Voyager workstation using α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) matrix allowed for confirmation of the expected mass and identity of the final product.

Col M-exo was labeled Cyanine5.5-N-hydroxysuccinimide (Cy5.5-NHS) ester (#67020, Lumiprobe, Hunt Valley, MD, USA) regarding the manufacturer’s protocol. The exosomes and Cy5.5-NHS-ester were mixed and incubated overnight. To remove the unattached Cy5.5-NHS-ester, the mixture was centrifuged at 20 psi using Airfuge Air-Driven Ultracentrifuge (340400, Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) and the supernatant was discarded. This washing step was repeated several times. HDFs were seeded in a 35 mm confocal dish at a density of 2 × 105 cells per dish. The cells were treated with labeled exosomes (0.05, 0.1 mg/mL) and incubated for 1, 4, 16, and 24 h. Then the cells were observed with a confocal microscope (TCS SP8, Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). The fluorescence intensities were evaluated using an image analyzer.

Oligonucleotides
(ASO and cODN) modified at the 3′ end with an amino group were
labeled with an N-hydroxy succinimide-modified fluorophore (fluorophore-NHS).
The fluorophore-NHS (either Cy3-NHS or Cy5.5-NHS) (Lumiprobe, cat#
21020 and 47020, respectively) was mixed with the ODN in the presence
of DMSO and 0.1 M HEPES (pH 8) and then incubated overnight at 650
rpm at RT. Excess fluorophore and unconjugated ODN were removed using
ethanol precipitation22 (link) and reversed-phase
high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), respectively. The
fluorophore-labeled ODN concentration was determined by measuring
the absorbance at 260 nm with a correction factor (CF260) of 0.04 for Cy3-NHS and 0.07 for Cy5.5-NHS.
rHA was labeled
nonspecifically on the amino groups of lysine residues. rHA-cODN conjugate
or the rHA-cODN/ASO biomolecular assembly was mixed with the fluorophore-NHS
in HEPES buffer (pH 8) and incubated overnight at 650 rpm at RT. Excess
fluorophore was then removed by spin filtration through a 10 kDa cutoff
membrane filter (Amicon Ultra, Merck Millipore Ltd., cat# UFC501096).

Tumor-targeted Fluorescent Peptide Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Five to six-week-old Balb/c female nude mice were subcutaneously administered approximately 1 × 107 SKBR3 cells into the right hind leg, to establish xenografted tumors. Thereafter, tumor size was periodically measured with a caliper, and mice with tumors of 6−8 mm in diameter were selected for the following small animal experiments. Cy5.5–NHS (Lumiprobe) was used to label peptides. Either Cy5.5-peptides or the control Cy5.5 (1 μM, 200 μL) was intravenously injected into tumor-bearing nude mice via the tail vein. The mice were anesthetized and fluorescence signals measured using the small animal in vivo imaging system 30 min postinjection. Three mice were used for each peptide and for control. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging of tumor-bearing nude mice were taken with an exposure time of 50 ms, using the Cy5.5 filter sets (excitation: 673 nm; emission: 707 nm), and the intensities were quantified using the same software. Then, fluorescence images of the main organs and of tumors dissected from nude mice were individually taken as above.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
