Herein, folic acid (FA) conjugated with AuNPs were introduced into the cancer cell imaging via the specific interaction between FA and the folate receptor on the cell surface. FA protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was synthesized and labeled with fluorescein isothiocynate (FITC) to form the FITC–FA–AuNPs (FFANPs). As over-expressed folic acid receptor in some cancer cells and folic acid can specifically...
In this article, we reported a novel approach for in situ labeling and imaging HeLa cancer cells utilizing a bifunctional aptamer (AS1411) and its fluorescent ligand, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). In the presence of potassium ion, AS1411 folded to G-quadruplex structure, binded fluorescent ligand (PPIX) with fluorescent enhancement, and targeted the nucleolin overexpressed by cancer cells. Consequently,...
Herein, a novel kind of silver nanocluster is synthesized simply by mixing G-quadruplex template with silver ions and reduction reagent (NaBH 4 , here). AS1411 (a G-quadruplex that can bind nucleolin overexpressed in cancer cells) is used as the main model template to prove the synthesis protocol and its potential application. We used fluorescence assay, CD, MALDI TOF MS, and TEM to characterize...
