The luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone- Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin 40 (LHRH-PE40), is a candidate target drug associated with elevated LHRH receptor (LHRH-R) expression in malignant tumor tissue. The capability of LHRH-PE40 to recognize LHRH-Rs on a living cell membrane was studied with single molecular recognition force spectroscopy (SMFS) based on atomic force microscopy (AFM). The recognition force of LHRH-PE40/LHRH-R was compared with that of LHRH/LHRH-R by dynamic force spectroscopy. Meanwhile, cell growth inhibition assay and fluorescence imaging were presented as complementary characterization. The results show that LHRH moiety keeps its capability to recognize LHRH-R specifically, which implies that recombinant protein LHRH-PE40 can be a promising target drug.
黄体生成素释放激素-铜绿假单胞菌外毒素 40(LHRH-PE40)是一种候选靶向药物,与恶性肿瘤组织中黄体生成素受体(LHRH-R)的表达升高有关。采用基于原子力显微镜(AFM)的单分子识别力谱(SMFS)研究了 LHRH-PE40 在活细胞膜上识别 LHRH-R 的能力。通过动态力谱比较了 LHRH-PE40/LHRH-R 的识别力。同时,还呈现了细胞生长抑制实验和荧光成像作为补充特征。结果表明,LHRH 部分保持其特异性识别 LHRH-R 的能力,这意味着重组蛋白 LHRH-PE40 可以成为一种有前途的靶向药物。
