Pantetheinase, also known as Vanin-1, catalyzes pantetheine to decompose into the precursor of CoA - pantothenic acid and aminothiol cysteamine. Studies have shown that Vanin-1 plays an important role in many important physiological pathologies. In this paper, a new red emission ratio fluorescent probe DCM-PA (I/I) has been implemented to detect the activity of Vanin-1 in cells and vivo. DCM-PA has short response time (30 min), high selectivity and low sensitivity (DL =0.69 ng/mL). Also, we have applied DCM-PA for imaging in cells and mice, and the results have indicated that the probe has a non-negligible potential for monitoring the activity of Vanin-1 in situ, benefiting further to study the role of Vanin-1 in physiology and pathology. In addition, the up-regulation of this enzyme by starvation confirmed the inevitable connection between diabetes and abnormal expression of Vanin-1.
泛硫乙胺酶,也称为Vanin-1,催化泛硫乙胺分解为辅酶A的前体——泛酸和氨基硫醇半胱胺。研究表明,Vanin-1在许多重要的生理病理过程中发挥着重要作用。在本文中,一种新型的红色发射比率荧光探针DCM-PA(I/I)已被用于检测细胞和体内Vanin-1的活性。DCM-PA响应时间短(30分钟),选择性高且灵敏度低(检测限=0.69 ng/mL)。此外,我们已将DCM-PA应用于细胞和小鼠成像,结果表明该探针在原位监测Vanin-1活性方面具有不可忽视的潜力,这有助于进一步研究Vanin-1在生理和病理中的作用。此外,饥饿导致该酶上调,证实了糖尿病与Vanin-1异常表达之间存在必然联系。
