Bioprobe-RNA-seq-microRaman system for deep tracking of the live single-cell metabolic pathway chemometrics.

The integration between RNA-sequencing and micro-spectroscopic techniques has recently profiled the advanced transcriptomic discoveries on the cellular level. In the current study, by combining the sensation approach (including bio-molecules structural evaluation, high throughput next-generation sequencing (HT-NGS), and confocal Raman microscopy) the functionality on the single live cancer cells' ferroptosis and apoptosis signaling pathways is visualized. Our study reveals a hydrophobic tunnel by phycocyanin-isoprene molecule (PC-SIM) electrostatic charge within hepatoma cells (HepG2) that activates the ferritin light chain (FTL) and caspase-8 associate protein (CASP8AP2) ferroptosis responsible genes. Moreover, this research proves that PC-vanillin (VAN) stimulation induces the actin-binding factor profilin-1 (PFN1), subsequently in situ tracking its expression at 1139.75 cm-1 microRaman wavenumber. While PC-thymol (THY) induces the lysophospholipase-2 (LYPLA2) (p-value = 0.009) and acetylneuraminate-9-O-acetyltransferase (CASD1) (p-value = 0.022) at 1143.19 cm-1. Our findings establish a new concept to promote the cross-disciplinary use of instant cellular-based detection technology for intermediary evaluating the signaling cellular transcriptome.

Synthesis of Novel Fluorine Compounds Substituted-4-thiazolidinones Derived from Rhodanine Drug as Highly Bioactive Probes.

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: It is known that rhodanine drug has various biocidal activities. The aim of this work was to improve the structure of rhodanine drug via alkylation at N, S, and O- centers in addition to the introduction of fluorine atoms. The new fluorinated modified rhodanines 2-16 were evaluated as enzymatic probes for cellobiase activity produced by fungi and as CDK2 inhibitors of tumor cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Novel fluorine substituted N-alkyl, S-alkyl and amino-rhodanines were obtained via Hydroxy methylation, Mannich reactions, chlorination and amination of 5-(4'-fluorophenylene)-2-thioxothiazolidin- 4-one, and the enzymatic effects of cellobiase produced by fungi and /or CDK2 inhibition of tumor cells were evaluated. RESULTS: Most of the targets were obtained in high yield and in the form of very pure crystals with characteristic colors. Only compounds 5, 8, 10, 13, and 14 exhibited a higher activity as cellobiase while compounds 2 and 5 showed a highly enzymatic effect on tumor cells. In addition, compounds 2 and 10 can be used as Olomoucine (standard referees). CONCLUSION: Various N, S and O-alkyl derivatives of fluorine-substituted rhodanines were prepared via a simple method and used as enzymatic probes for cellobiase activity produced by fungi and CDK2 inhibitors for tumor cells. The more bioactive compounds had rich fluorine atoms as p-fluorophenyl and p-fluorobenzoyl bearing N, S, O-alkyl rhodanine. The highly active compounds may be used as enzymatic materials for various biological transformations in the future.
