Background:

  • Proteins function as interacting complexes within cells.
  • Understanding these protein networks is crucial for cell biology and drug discovery.
  • Existing methods for studying intracellular protein interactions can be complex and invasive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for capturing intracellular protein complexes from living cells.
  • To enable the detection and analysis of protein-protein interactions and their modulation by drugs.
  • To provide a tool for authenticating protein networks within living cellular environments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized antibody-modified vertical silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays.
  • Surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to prevent non-specific cell adhesion.
  • Intracellular access and capture of protein complexes followed by simple cell washing for detection.

Main Results:

  • Successfully captured intracellular protein and its interacting partner from living cells.
  • Demonstrated the ability to detect changes in protein complexes after drug treatment.
  • The SiNW-based method allows for subsequent analysis of the captured protein complex.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SiNW-based tool offers a novel approach for studying intracellular protein interactions.
  • This method facilitates the authentication of protein networks in their native cellular context.
  • The tool is suitable for assessing drug-induced changes in protein-protein interactions.
