The Early Endosome: Endocytosis of Transferrin01:28

The Early Endosome: Endocytosis of Transferrin

3.2K
Essential proteins such as insulin or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and micronutrients such as iron enter a eukaryotic cell through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, the early endosomes fuse with the vesicles containing such receptor-ligand complexes and play a vital role in sorting the incoming ligands and receptors. While the ligands are either degraded inside the vesicle or released into the cytosol, their receptors are returned to the plasma membrane for further rounds of...

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

5.9K
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is when bulk amounts of specific molecules are imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors. The molecules bound to these receptors are taken into the cell through inward folding of the cell surface membrane, which is eventually pinched off into a vesicle within the cell. Structural proteins, such as clathrin, coat the budding vesicle.
Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis of LDL
One well-characterized example of receptor-mediated endocytosis is the...

Overview of Protein Sorting and Transport01:45

Overview of Protein Sorting and Transport

10.9K
Eukaryotic cells have different membrane-bound organelles with distinct protein requirements. The process by which proteins are targeted to a specific organelle is called protein sorting.
Protein sorting can be of two types: signal-based sorting and vesicle-based trafficking. In signal-based sorting, specific amino acid sequences called sorting signals target proteins to the proper location inside the cell either via gated transport or by protein translocation.  In gated transport, folded...

Area of Science:

  • Nanomedicine
  • Biotechnology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Targeting intracellular proteins with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is difficult due to endocytosis, trapping MNPs in vesicles.
  • This limits MNPs' effectiveness in reaching intracellular targets and in magnetic hyperthermia cancer treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel double functionalization strategy for MNPs to overcome intracellular barriers.
  • To enable specific targeting of cytosolic proteins and enhance MNPs' utility in nanomedicine and cancer therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Functionalization of γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 MNPs with polyhistidine peptides (PHPs) via a labile link for endosomal escape.
  • Attachment of antibodies targeting specific cytosolic proteins (HSP27) via a non-labile link for precise intracellular targeting.

Main Results:

  • The bi-functionalized MNPs successfully escaped endosomes and targeted the specific intracellular protein of interest.
  • The labile link allowed PHP release in the cytosol, preventing interference with MNP mobility.

Conclusions:

  • This novel MNP functionalization strategy enables effective intracellular targeting and endosomal escape.
  • These advancements hold significant promise for cellular engineering and improved magnetic hyperthermia cancer treatments.
