Cationic Porphyrin-Mediated G-Quadruplex DNA Oxidative Damage: Regulated by the Initial Interplay between DNA and TMPyP4.
G-quadruplex (G4) ligand-induced DNA damage has been involved in many physiological functions of cells. Herein, cationic porphyrin (TMPyP4)-mediated DNA oxidation damage was investigated aiming at mitochondrial G4 DNA (mt9438) and its structural analogue of the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA). TMPyP4 is found to stabilize TBA G4 but destabilize mt9438. For two resulting DNA-TMPyP4 assemblies, the distinct light-induced singlet oxygen ( Topics: Aptamers, Nucleotide; Cations; DNA Damage; G-Quadruplexes; Ligands; Oxidative Stress; Porphyrins | 2021 |
Study of the interaction between the G-quadruplex-forming thrombin-binding aptamer and the porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21,23H-porphyrin tetratosylate.
The G-quadruplex DNA structure has been suggested to be a potential target for anticancer therapies. Therefore, there is increasing interest in the development of drugs that could modulate the stability of G-quadruplex structures. In the current work, the interaction between the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA, 5'-GGT TGG TGT GGT TGG-3'), which can form an intramolecular G-quadruplex structure, and the porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21,23H-porphyrin tetratosylate (TmPyP4) was studied. The application of a high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array (HPLC-PDA) detector-based method to study this kind of interaction was tested. Molecular absorption data recorded along the chromatographic runs were analyzed by means of multivariate data analysis methods. Moreover, biospecific interaction analysis (BIA) by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and melting and mole ratio experiments monitored by UV-visible molecular absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopies, were applied to confirm and expand the chromatographic studies. The results showed the formation of an interaction complex with a stoichiometry 1:1 (TmPyP4/TBA) and logarithm of the equilibrium constant equal to 5.7+/-0.2. Melting and circular dichroism data reflected that the initial G-quadruplex structure of TBA is stabilized in the interaction complex, being slightly distorted by the presence of the ligand.
