    Abstract

    Abstract Image

    A new antisense peptide−peptide nucleic acid (peptide−PNA) conjugate, designed for targeting bcl-2 expression, has been radiolabeled, characterized, and evaluated for bcl-2 mRNA binding in a cell-free system. A PNA complementary to the first six codons of the bcl-2 gene was synthesized by standard solid-phase Fmoc chemistry and conjugated to a new derivative of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N‘,N‘ ‘,N‘ ‘‘-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) that allows macrocyclic radiometal chelates to be incorporated into any sequence position of a peptide−PNA conjugate. The DOTA−PNA conjugate was then coupled to a membrane-permeating transduction peptide, PTD-4, designed for intracellular delivery of the radiolabeled PNA. The conjugate was characterized by HPLC and ESI-MS and labeled with 111In and 90Y to high specific activities (>1000 Ci/mmol) with high radiochemical purity. Northern blot analysis showed that 90Y-PTD-4−K(DOTA)−anti-bcl-2-PNA bound specifically to as little as 50 fmol of bcl-2 mRNA, a result equivalent to that obtained with the analogous 32P-labeled DNA antisense oligonucleotide. Thus, the mRNA targeting properties of 111In- and 90Y-PTD-4−K(DOTA)−anti-bcl-2-PNA demonstrate potential for diagnostic imaging and targeted radiotherapy applications in bcl-2-positive cancers.
