Chlorin e6 ( Ce 6) was conjugated with anti-tumor monoclonal antibody ( IgG 2 b ) to increase its binding affinity for tumors. The Ce 6 was activated by N -hydroxysuccinimide and directly conjugated with IgG 2 b ( IgG 2 b – Ce 6) via peptide bonds. An average of 11 Ce 6 molecules were coupled to each IgG2b molecule. IgG 2 b – Ce 6 showed high cellular uptake in tumor cells and high photocytotoxicity. These results indicate IgG 2 b – Ce 6 is a good photosensitizer with high binding affinity to tumor cells.

Chlorin e6(Ce6) was conjugated with anti-tumor monoclonal antibody ( IgG ) to increase its binding affinity for tumors. Ce 6 was activated by N -hydroxysulfosuccinimide and conjugated with IgG via peptide bonds, and Ce 6 molecules were conjugated with IgG ( IgG - Ce 6) and their binding affinities to tumor cells were investigated. Intracellular localization of IgG - Ce 6 was observed, and IgG - Ce 6 was accumulated in tumor cells much higher than Ce 6, indicating that the IgG - Ce 6 has specific binding affinity to tumor cells. The effective photocytotoxicity of the cells with IgG - Ce 6 is caused by the high accumulation of IgG - Ce 6 in tumor cells.

AbstractProstate cancer (PCa) is a cancer that occurs in the prostate with high morbidity and mortality. Danggui Beimu Kushen Wan (DBKW) is a classic formula for patients with difficult urination including PCa. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of DBKW for PCa. We obtained DBKW compounds from our previous reviews. We identified potential targets for PCa from literature search, currently approved drugs and Open Targets database and filtered them by protein–protein interaction network analysis. We selected 26 targets to predict three cancer-related pathways. A total of 621 compounds were screened via molecular docking using PyRx and AutoDock Vina against 21 targets for PCa, producing 13041 docking results. The binding patterns and positions showed that a relatively small number of tight-binding compounds from DBKW were predicted to interact strongly and selectively with three targets. The top five high-binding-affinity compounds were selected to generate a network, indicating that compounds from all three herbs had high binding affinity against the 21 targets and may have potential biological activities with the targets. DBKW contains multi-targeting agents that could act on more than one pathway of PCa simultaneously. Further studies could focus on validating the computational results via experimental studies.

To improve reproductive performance in cattle, the accurate detection of estrus and optimization of insemination relative to ovulation are necessary. However, poor heat detection by farm staff leads to a decreased conception rate, thus inflicting economic damage to the beef and dairy industries. This study aimed to develop monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that can specifically bind to the bovine lactoferrin (bLF) protein, which we have previously demonstrated to be overexpressed in bovine cervical mucus during estrus. Female rats were intraperitoneally immunized with bLF protein as the antigen. Anti-bLF mAbs were then purified by affinity chromatography, and their binding affinity for the bLF antigen was examined using ELISA. We found a high binding affinity between mAbs and bLF. Finally, we developed a rapid bovine heat detection kit using the anti-bLF mAbs that we generated and tested on cervical mucus from 12 cows (estrous synchronization, n = 2; natural cycling, n = 10). We found that the kits accurately detected estrus. Overall, our fabricated heat detection kit based on rat anti-bLF mAbs could pave the way for the development of potent tools for heat detection devices for dairy cattle, thereby preventing economic loss.

The possibility of increased internalization of the photosensitizer chlorin e6 in tumor cells was investigatedusing soy phosphatidylcholine nanoparticles 20-30 nm with or without attached peptide containing Asn-Gly-Arg (NGR) motif was studied. This amino acid sequence exhibits affinity to aminopeptidase N (CD13), wich is overexpressed in a number of tumor cells and vessels. Nanoparticles with chlorin e6 were prepared with added of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPE) conjugated through PEG with a hexapeptide containing the NGR sequence, and then were incubated with tumor cells НерG2 and MCF-7. Chlorin e6 accumulation in СD13-negative cells (MCF-7) did not depend on the presence of peptide NGR in nanoparticles. However, for НерG2 cells a twofold increase of chlorine e6 internalization was observed as compared with the same particles without NGR. Differences in the response of these two cell lines, differed in expression of aminopeptidase N (APN), suggest the possibility of this protein using for targeted delivery. The prospectivity of usage of phospholipids nanoparticles conjugated with targeting peptide for photodynamic therapy is discussed, taking into account possible variation of APN expression, inherent for many solid tumors.

The sensitizers in common use for photodynamic therapy (PDT) are summarized, and approaches to the improvement of these outlined. Selectivity in the targeting of sensitizers to tumor cells and tissue is highly desirable, as is water solubility and prevention of aggregation. Some new free sensitizers are described, based upon the pyropheophorbide a (PPa) structure, and their photophysical properties, distribution in cells via confocal fluorescence microscopy, and cell kill properties described. A novel approach to targeting is to covalently attach such sensitizers to monoclonal antibody fragments, and recent work on the attachment of pyropheophorbide a to such monoclonal antibody fragments is reviewed, with a demonstration of the increased efficiency of cell kill, and the treatment of a solid human tumor in a mouse model described. Finally, an alternative method of achieving selectivity based upon two-photon excitation (TPE) using porphyrin dimer sensitizers is reviewed, and the use of these to kill tumor cells is compared with the use of a commercially available PDT sensitizer (Visudyne). TPE of a porphyrin dimer sensitizer is shown to be capable of sealing blood vessels in a mouse model.
