ABSTRACT
Fluorescent probes are potential fluorophores that display signals based on the changes in tissue microenvironment, interactions with analytes or specific biochemical reactions. Metabolic enzymes are the most important protein involved in bacteria activities. Complex dynamics of biological processes in bacteria are elucidated by these metabolic enzymes-based fluorescent probes with high spatial resolution and sensitivity. Here, we review recent advances in metabolic enzyme-responsive fluorescent probes for bacteria imaging. It was organized according to enzyme classification systems, focused on fluorescence masking strategies, molecular mechanisms of enzyme activation, and bio-related applications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the growth inhibition of β-elemene in ECV-304 cells,and study it's meaning to anti-angiogenesis in tumors.Methods The IC50 value of β-elemene in ECV-304 cells were got through MTT assay.Under treatment of β-elemene in ECV-304 cell,flow cytometry(FCM)was used to investigated the changing of cell cycle,electron microscope was used to show the morphological al-terations,agarose gel electrophoresis was used to detect effection on cells'DNA.Results The proliferation of ECV-304 cells was significantly inhibited by β-elemene,the IC50 value was (58.3 ±8.1)μg/ml.By FCM,we observed Cell cycle was significantly arrested in G0 /G1 phase under 60μg/ml treatment(P <0.05),apoptotic cells increased with the increase of drug concentrations.Typical apoptotic morphological alterations were found under electron microscope.Characteristic DNA-ladder standing for apoptosis was showed in agarose gel electrophoresis.Conclusions β-elemene can significantly inhibit ECV-304 cells'pro-liferation By inducing apoptosis.
