PG - 54 LID - 10.1186/s12860-019-0236-x [doi] LID - 54 AB - BACKGROUND: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produce different lesions in DNA by ROS-induced DNA damage. Detection and quantification of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) within cells are important for study. Human ribosomal protein S3 (hRpS3) has a high binding affinity to 8-oxoG. In this study, we developed an imaging probe to detect 8-oxoG using a specific peptide from hRpS3. Transactivator (TAT) proteins are known to have cell-penetrating properties. Therefore, we developed a TAT-S3 probe by attaching a TAT peptide to our imaging probe. RESULTS: A DNA binding assay was conducted to confirm that our probe bound to 8-oxoG and apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites. We confirmed that the TAT-S3 probe localized in the mitochondria, without permeabilization, and fluoresced in H(2)O(2)-treated HeLa cells and zebrafish embryos. Treatment with Mitoquinone (MitoQ), a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, reduced TAT-S3 probe fluorescence. Additionally, treatment with O8, an inhibitor of OGG1, increased probe fluorescence. A competition assay was conducted with an aldehyde reaction probe (ARP) and methoxyamine (MX) to confirm binding of TAT-S3 to the AP sites. The TAT-S3 probe showed competitive binding to AP sites with ARP and MX. CONCLUSIONS: These results revealed that the TAT-S3 probe successfully detected the presence of 8-oxoG and AP sites in damaged cells. The TAT-S3 probe may have applications for the detection of diseases caused by reactive oxygen species.
