Fluorescently labelled PCR-product enriched by IDH-mutant alleles was hybridized on a biochip with immobilized oligonucleotide probes which was able to determine 5 mutations in the <i>IDH1</i> gene and 2 mutations in the <i>IDH2</i> gene. <b>Results and Discussion:</b> The method was developed and tested on a collection of 26 samples of paraffinized tumor tissue (glioma, glioblastoma, chondrosarcoma).

The limit of detection of mutant DNA was determined to be 0.1% in the wild-type DNA background. The advantages of the method are simultaneous analysis of multiple targets, simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. <b>Conclusions:</b> A highly sensitive method for detecting somatic mutations in the IDH1/2 genes by LNA-mediated blocking of amplification of wild-type alleles and hybridization in a biological microchip was developed.

Changes in astrocyte ultramorphology may indicate early neurodegeneration, associated with decreased synaptic plasticity and astrocyte aging. While high-resolution techniques like EM and SPM can study these structures, they can’t use fluorescence microscopy for complete 3D analysis. We suggest using fluorescent dye-conjugated nanoantibodies for astrocyte labeling, allowing detailed ultramorphological research with electron, optical, and scanning probe microscopy, plus optical probe nanotomography. <b>Methods:</b> Hippocampi from male C57BL/6 mice were stained using commercial or GFAP-specific VHH-E9 nanoantibodies. The VHH-E9 antibodies were created by synthesizing a nucleotide sequence with added histidines and cysteine, then cloning it into the pET22 plasmid at XbaI and BamHI sites. <i>Escherichia coli</i> Rosetta-gami (DE3) cells were transformed to produce the pET22-VHHE9 strain. The nanoantibodies were produced <i>via</i> autoinduction and conjugated with a fluorophore. Astrocyte morphology was analyzed using the Sholl test with FiJi software. <b>Results and Discussion:</b> Traditional immunoglobulins can cause visualization inaccuracies due to the distance between the label and target protein. Nanoantibody conjugates, being smaller, reduce these errors. Immunostainings with both types showed similar efficiency, as Sholl profiles from different samples aligned within error margins. This supports the effectiveness of the sample preparation method and VHH-E9 nanoantibodies. It also suggests potential for developing similar procedures with fluorescent contrast agents, like semiconductor nanocrystals. <b>Conclusions:</b> To study astrocyte changes in early neurodegenerative stages, we propose combining high-resolution microscopy, optical microspectroscopy, and 3D ultrastructure restoration. Our method, OPNT, uses fluorescence microscopy for localization data, and SPM/UMT for ultrastructure.

It displays a range of antitumor action, particularly against ovarian cancer, urologic malignancies, head tumor, and Kaposi’s sarcoma. However, due to its highly lipophilic nature, poor fluid dissolvability of less 0.01 mg/mL and lack of ionizing functionalities which may enhance its solubility, there are substantial challenges associated with Paclitaxel delivery. Paclitaxel exhibited promising effects when formulated in combination with ethanol and Cremophor EL, as Taxol®. However, it is associated with various side effects, including hypersensitivity, hypotension, and peripheral neuropathy. The albumin-based Paclitaxel, Abraxane®, is a superior alternative to Taxol® as it diminishes the side effects related to Cremophor EL. Abraxane® is regarded as the gold standard for cancer treatment, but its 21% response rate suggests that more research is needed. Furthermore, the large-scale clinical use of this drug has faced considerable delay because of the absence of suitable delivery vehicles. Therefore, necessitates is the development of an alternate form of Paclitaxel that has both superior aqueous solubility as well as fewer side-effects. During the last decade, various methodologies have been explored to improve Paclitaxel’s solubility with the help of co-solvents and inclusion complexes. Additionally, various methodologies report of passive targeting of cancer cells using nanoparticles, nanosuspensions, Rotaxane (a mechanically interlocked molecular system), liposomes, micelles, emulsions, gels, pastes, etc. Herein, we have comprised a brief report on various delivery techniques for Paclitaxel with improved therapeutic outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":758,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry","volume":"50 5","pages":"1752 - 1782"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
