New 20-hydroxycholesterol-like compounds with fluorescent NBD or alkyne labels: Synthesis, in silico interactions with proteins and uptake by yeast cells. Chem Phys Lipids 2019; 227:104850. [PMID: 31836520 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2019.104850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2019] [Revised: 12/03/2019] [Accepted: 12/04/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
20-hydroxycholesterol is a signaling oxysterol with immunomodulating functions and, thus, structural analogues with reporter capabilities could be useful for studying and modulating the cellular processes concerned. We have synthesized three new 20-hydroxycholesterol-like pregn-5-en-3β-ol derivatives with fluorescent 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) or Raman-sensitive alkyne labels in their side-chains. In silico computations demonstrated the compounds possess good membrane permeability and can bind within active sites of known 20-hydroxycholesterol targets (e.g. Smoothened and yeast Osh4) and some other sterol-binding proteins (human LXRβ and STARD1; yeast START-kins Lam4S2 and Lam2S2). Having found good predicted membrane permeability and binding to some yeast proteins, we tested the compounds on microorganisms. Fluorescent microscopy indicated the uptake of the steroids by both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yarrowia lipolytica, whereas only S. cerevisiae demonstrated conversion of the compounds into 3-O-acetates, likely because 3-O-acetyltransferase Atf2p is present only in its genome. The new compounds provide new options to study the uptake, intracellular distribution and metabolism of sterols in yeast cells as well as might be used as ligands for sterol-binding proteins.

Chemical synthesis and biochemical characterization of a biotinylated derivative of 17beta-estradiol with a long side chain covalently attached to its C-7alpha position. Steroids 2008; 73:1252-61. [PMID: 18621069 PMCID: PMC2614690 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2008.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2007] [Revised: 06/12/2008] [Accepted: 06/12/2008] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
High-affinity biotinylated derivatives of 17beta-estradiol (E2) are of value for isolation of various estrogen-binding proteins (including estrogen receptors) and also for studying protein-protein interactions involving these proteins. In this study, we developed a simplified route for the chemical synthesis of a biotinylated derivative of E2 (compound 7) with a side chain attached to its C-7alpha position. Compound 7, i.e., 7alpha-{7-[8-(biotinamido)-octanamido]-heptyl}-estradiol, could be readily synthesized from 6-keto-estradiol-3,17beta-di-tetrahydropyranyl ether (compound 2, which can be prepared from E2), with a final yield of 36%. In vitro receptor-binding assay confirmed that the synthesized affinity ligand has a high binding affinity for both human estrogen receptor alpha and beta. When the affinity ligand (compound 7) was immobilized with avidin on an affinity column, it effectively bound human estrogen receptor alpha, and the receptor protein could be selectively eluted with a biotin-containing buffer. Using the same affinity ligand, prolyl 4-hydroxylase beta-subunit (also known as protein disulfide isomerase) was identified as one of the high-affinity E2-binding proteins in the whole cytosolic protein mixture prepared from MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Computational molecular modeling analysis showed that compound 7 can bind to human estrogen receptor alpha in a similar manner as ICI-182,780 and raloxifene, and their binding energy values are also similar.

Abstract
There is increasing concern that animal and human reproduction may be adversely affected by exposure to xenoestrogens that activate estrogen receptors. There is evidence that one such compound, Bisphenol A (BPA), also induces meiotic and mitotic aneuploidy, suggesting that these kinds of molecules may also have effects on cell division. In an effort to understand how Bisphenol A might disrupt cell division, a phenotypic analysis was carried out using sea urchin eggs, whose early embryonic divisions are independent of zygotic transcription. Fertilized Lytechinus pictus eggs exposed to BPA formed multipolar spindles resulting in failed cytokinesis in a dose-dependent, transcriptionally independent manner. By use of novel biotinylated BPA affinity probes to fractionate cell-free extracts, tubulin was identified as a candidate binding protein by mass spectrometry, and BPA promoted microtubule polymerization and centrosome-based microtubule nucleation in vitro but did not appear to display microtubule-stabilizing activity. Treatment of mammalian cells demonstrated that BPA as well as a series of Bisphenol A derivatives induced ectopic spindle pole formation in the absence of centrosome overduplication. Together, these results suggest a novel mechanism by which Bisphenol A affects the nucleation of microtubules, disrupting the tight spatial control associated with normal chromosome segregation, resulting in aneuploidy.

Abstract
A new series of luminescent cyclometalated iridium(III) bipyridine estradiol conjugates [Ir(N-C)2(N-N)](PF6) (N-N = 5-(4-(17alpha-ethynylestradiolyl)phenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine, bpy-est, HN-C = 2-phenylpyridine, Hppy (1 a), 1-phenylpyrazole, Hppz (2 a), 7,8-benzoquinoline, Hbzq (3 a), 2-phenylquinoline, Hpq (4 a), 2-((1,1'-biphenyl)-4-yl)benzothiazole, Hbsb (5 a); N-N = 4-(N-(6-(4-(17alpha-ethynylestradiolyl)benzoylamino)hexyl)aminocarbonyl)-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine, bpy-C6-est, HN-C = Hppy (1 b), Hppz (2 b), Hbzq (3 b), Hpq (4 b), Hbsb (5 b)) was synthesized, characterized, and their photophysical and electrochemical properties studied. Upon photoexcitation, all the complexes displayed intense and long-lived emission in fluid solutions at 298 K and in low-temperature glass. The emission of complexes 1 a-3 a and 1 b-3 b was assigned to a triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer ((3)MLCT) (dpi(Ir)-->pi*(bpy-est and N-C-)) state mixed with some triplet intraligand ((3)IL) (pi-->pi*) (N-C- and N-N) character. However, the emissive states of the pq- and bsb- complexes 4 a, 4 b, 5 a, and 5 b showed substantial (3)IL (pi-->pi*) (pq-/bsb-) character. The lipophilicity of all the complexes was determined by reversed-phase HPLC. Upon binding to estrogen receptor alpha, all of these iridium(III) estradiol conjugates exhibited emission enhancement and lifetime extension, rendering them a novel series of luminescent probes for this receptor.

Use of biotinylated 17β-estradiol in enzyme-immunoassay development: Spacer length and chemical structure of the bridge are the main determinants in simultaneous streptavidin–antibody binding. J Immunol Methods 2005; 297:225-36. [PMID: 15777945 DOI: 10.1016/j.jim.2004.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2004] [Revised: 11/04/2004] [Accepted: 12/13/2004] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
17beta-estradiol (E2) concentrations are in the low pg/ml range in plasma. To develop a sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for E2-determination a highly specific antibody raised against a 6-carboxymethyl (CMO)-E2-bovine serum albumine conjugate was used. Based on 6-CMO-E2 and 6-amino-E2, four biotinylated tracers with two different spacer lengths between E2 and biotin were synthesized using biotinylation reagents in one step reactions. All amino-based tracers were unsuitable for assay development because the antibody binding was too weak compared to the analyte E2. For 6-CMO-based tracers the simultaneous binding of the tracer to the antibody and streptavidin seems to be the determining step in the procedure depending on incubation temperature and spacer lengths. While a short spacer of 9 carbon atoms was susceptible to room temperature, a longer spacer of 16 carbon atoms showed nearly the same results for incubation at 4 degrees C or at room temperature. The absolute detection limit of this system was 0.63 pg/well. For sample clean-up, porcine plasma was solvent-extracted and depending on the initial plasma volume further purified by solvent partition. Determination of reproducibility resulted in intraassay coefficients of variation of 13% and 5.3% for samples with E2-levels of 15 pg/ml and 236 pg/ml, respectively. Measurement of E2-spiked blood plasma revealed recoveries of 83% up to 100% for E2 concentrations between 50 pg/ml and 1000 pg/ml. Only for the lowest concentration (20 pg/ml) a recovery of 58% was observed. Correlation of the EIA with an established radio immunoassay resulted in r=0.991 using the same antibody.
