Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a cyclic decapeptide 1, which acts on the extracellular region of the EGF receptor, preventing it from dimerizing. Fluorescein-labeled peptide 2 at the N-terminus of peptide 1 was synthesized. Peptide 2 essentially retained the inhibitory activity of peptide 1 against the receptor autophosphorylation. Confocal microscopy studies revealed that in carcinoma cells, the fluorescence of peptide 2 was localized inside some vesicles. Treatment of intact cells by peptide 1 in combination with peptide 2 decreased the fluorescence intensity significantly compared to treatment with only peptide 2. Seven derivatives of peptide 2 were synthesized and used to treat the cells. Peptides 6 and 9 showed the highest fluorescence intensity in cells. These two derivatives were proven to have higher inhibitory activity against the autophosphorylation than peptide 2, which would therefore be a useful delivery peptide and fluorescent probe to find new inhibitors against the EGF receptor.
