In our study, we thoroughly evaluated matriptase, a trypsin-like transmembrane serine protease, as potential target for novel inhibitor-based tumor therapies. We applied time-domain near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging to characterize expression and activity of matriptase in vivo in an orthotopic AsPC-1 pancreatic tumor model in nude mice. We show strong and tumor-specific binding of intravenously injected Cy5.5 labeled antimatriptase antibody (MT-Ab Cy5.5) only to primary AsPC-1 tumors and their metastases over time within living mice, taking into account fluorescence intensities and fluorescence lifetimes of the applied probes. Specific binding of MT-Ab Cy5.5 to tumor sites was confirmed by ex vivo NIRF imaging of tumor tissue, NIRF microscopy and by coregistration of the in vivo acquired NIRF intensity maps to anatomical structures visualized by flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) in living mice. Moreover, using an activatable synthetic substrate S DY-681 we could clearly demonstrate that matriptase is proteolytically active in vitro as well as in vivo in tumor-bearing mice, and that application of synthetic active-site inhibitors having high affinity and selectivity toward matriptase can efficiently inhibit its proteolytic activity for at least 24 hr. We thus successfully applied NIRF imaging in combination with fpVCT to characterize matriptase as a promising molecular target for inhibitor-based cancer therapies."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ijc.25405"],["dc.identifier.isi","000282404900023"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20473895"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/18675"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","1097-0215"],["dc.relation.issn","0020-7136"],["dc.title","Time-domain in vivo near infrared fluorescence imaging for evaluation of matriptase as a potential target for the development of novel, inhibitor-based tumor therapies"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Although many synthetic dyes meet these needs, the influence of dye charge on bioconjugate performance is commonly neglected. This encouraged us to assess the spectroscopic properties, antibody functionality, binding behavior, folding, and association of conjugates of the therapeutic antibodies trastuzumab and cetuximab with the red cyanine dyes S0586, S2381, and 6SIDCC (bearing two, three, and six sulfonate groups, respectively). Our results demonstrate a negligible effect of dye labeling on antibody folding, yet a strong influence of label charge and density on antibody isoelectric points and association. Especially 6SIDCC decreased strongly the isoelectric points of both antibodies and their heavy or light chains even at low labeling degrees, thus favoring protein association. Although an increasingly negative dye charge reduces antigen affinity as shown in a competitive immunoassay, all conjugates still bound to cells overexpressing the target of the respective antibody. Obviously, dyes that cause minimum dimerization with a small number of charged groups are best for conjugate brightness, minimum protein association, and strong target binding.

PHD2 is the main isoform regulating HIF-1 hydroxylation and thus stability in normoxia. In human cancers, HIF-1 is overexpressed as a result of intratumoral hypoxia which in turn promotes tumor progression. The role of PHD2 for tumor progression is in contrast far from being thoroughly understood. Therefore, we established PHD2 knockdown clones of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and analyzed their tumor-forming potential in a SCID mouse model. Tumor progression was significantly impaired in the PHD2 knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells, which could be partially rescued by re-establishing PHD2 expression. In a RNA profile screen, we identified the secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as one target, which is differentially regulated as a consequence of the PHD2 knockdown. Knockdown of PHD2 drastically reduced the SPP1 expression in MDA-MB-231 cells. A correlation of SPP1 and PHD2 expression was additionally verified in 294 invasive breast cancer biopsies. In subsequent analyses, we identified that PHD2 alters the processing of transforming growth factor (TGF)-1, which is highly involved in SPP1 expression. The altered processing capacity was associated with a dislocation of the pro-protein convertase furin. Thus, our data demonstrate that in MDA-MB-231 cells PHD2 might affect tumor-relevant TGF-1 target gene expression by altering the TGF-1 processing capacity."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Wilhelm Sander Stiftung [1348530]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ijc.27982"],["dc.identifier.isi","000317593100008"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23225569"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/29634"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","0020-7136"],["dc.title","Knockdown of prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain 2 inhibits tumor growth of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by affecting TGF-1 processing"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The peptide cRGD, conjugated with the near infrared fluorescent (NIRF) dye IRDye800CW and with a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) tag for future click chemistry (cRGD-800CW-TCO), was applied to PDAC bearing immunodeficient nude mice; 27 days after orthotopic transplantation of human AsPC-1 cells into the head of the pancreas, mice were injected with cRGD-800CW-TCO and imaged with fluorescence- and optoacoustic devices before and 2, 6 and 24 hr after injection, before they were sacrificed and dissected with a guidance of FGS imaging system. Fluorescence imaging of cRGD-800CW-TCO allowed detection of the tumor area but without information about the depth, whereas MSOT allowed high resolution 3 D identification of the tumor area, in particular of small tumor nodules. Highly sensitive delineation of tumor burden was achieved during FGS in all mice. Imaging of whole-mouse cryosections, histopathological analysis and NIRF microscopy confirmed the localization of cRGD-800CW-TCO within the tumor tissue.

Distribution and binding of systemically injected Cetuximab Alexa Fluor 647 conjugate (Cetux-Alexa-647) and the co-injected control human IgG Alexa Fluor 750 conjugate (hIgG-Alexa-750) was studied over 48 h by NIR fluorescence imaging in mice bearing human orthotopic AsPC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 PDAC tumors. Cetux-Alexa-647, but not the control hIgG-Alexa-750 fluorescence, was specifically detected in vivo in both primary pancreatic tumors with maximum fluorescence intensities at 24 h, and in metastases of AsPC-1 tumors as small as 1 mm. Lifetime analysis and NIR fluorescence microscopy of tumor sections confirmed the binding specificity of Cetux-Alexa-647 to PDAC cells. Comparable results were obtained with Cetuximab conjugated to Alexa Fluor 750 dye (Cetux-Alexa-750). Fluorescence-guided dissection, performed 24 h after injection of Cetuximab conjugated to IRDye 800CW (Cetux-800CW), enabled a real-time delineation of AsPC-1 tumor margins, and small metastases. Odyssey scans revealed that only the vital part of the tumor, but not the necrotic part was stained with Cetux-800CW. NIR fluorescently labeled Cetuximab may be a promising tool that can be applied for fluorescence-guided surgery to visualize tumor margins and metastatic sites in order to allow a precise surgical resection."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ijc.30277"],["dc.identifier.isi","000384646100013"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27428782"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/38967"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1097-0215"],["dc.relation.issn","0020-7136"],["dc.title","Preclinical evaluation of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescently labeled cetuximab as a potential tool for fluorescence-guided surgery"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
