Abstract
Snake venoms are a natural biological source that has potential therapeutic value with various protein compounds. Disintegrins originally were discovered as a family of proteins from snake venoms composed of cysteine rich low molecular weight polypeptides. Disintegrins exhibit specific binding and higher affinity toward integrin with potential inhibition of function. Trans-membrane receptors of the integrin family may involve in many pathological conditions such as inflammation and tumor progression with important processes related to invasion and migration. Since disintegrins have the ability to bind to integrins, they could be used for cancer detection and treatment, and in monitoring of therapy in select cancer types. The main purpose of the study is to investigate disintegrin containing Vipera anatolica (VAT) crude venom potential for radiolabeling and intracellular uptake as well as electrochemical biosensing assay against U87MG human brain glioblastoma cells. For this purpose, VAT crude venom containing U87MG cell-specific disintegrin was investigated in terms of radiolabeling and intracellular uptake as well as electrochemical biosensing assay in comparison with echistatin (ECT) disintegrin in cells. The interaction between VAT crude venom and ECT with HEK293 human non-tumorigenic embryonic kidney cells and glioblastoma U87MG cells was electrochemically investigated using pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). The interaction of the VAT crude venom and ECT with HEK293 and U87MG cells was detected according to the changes in oxidation signals. Then, VAT crude venom and echistatin were labeled with 131I via iodogen method. Intracellular uptakes of radiolabeled molecules were investigated in U87MG cell line. 131I-VAT can be an agent for imaging of glioblastoma cancer. Further work will focus on the production of large quantities of pure VAT disintegrin with a biotechnological approach to improving imaging agent.
