Screening and Identification of ssDNA Aptamers for Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Receptor-Related Protein 6.

ABSTRACT: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6), a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, displays a unique structure and ligand-binding function. As a co-receptor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, LRP6 is a novel therapeutic target that plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular disease, lipid metabolism, tumorigenesis, and some classical signals. By using capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX), with recombinant human LRP-6 as the target, four candidate aptamers with a stem-loop structure were selected from an ssDNA library-AptLRP6-A1, AptLRP6-A2, AptLRP6-A3, and AptLRP6-A4. The equilibrium dissociation constant K_D values between these aptamers and the LRP6 protein were in the range of 0.105 to 1.279 μmol/L, as determined by CE-LIF analysis. Their affinities and specificities were further determined by the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) colorimetric method. Among them, AptLRP6-A3 showed the highest affinity with LRP6-overexpressed human breast cancer cells. Therefore, the LRP6 aptamer identified in this study constitutes a promising modality for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of LRP6-related diseases.

Project description:BackgroundLow-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the traditional measure of risk attributable to LDL. Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHDL-C), apolipoprotein B (apoB), and LDL particle number (LDL-P) are alternative measures of LDL-related risk. However, the clinical utility of these measures may only become apparent among individuals for whom levels are inconsistent (discordant) with LDL-C.Methods and resultsLDL-C was measured directly, NHDL-C was calculated, apoB was measured with immunoassay, and LDL-P was measured with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy among 27 533 healthy women (median follow-up 17.2 years; 1070 incident coronary events). Participants were grouped by median LDL-C (121 mg/dL) and each of NHDL-C, apoB, and LDL-P. Discordance was defined as LDL-C greater than or equal to the median and the alternative measure less than the median, or vice versa. Despite high LDL-C correlations with NHDL-C, apoB, and LDL-P (r=0.910, 0.785, and 0.692; all P<0.0001), prevalence of LDL-C discordance as defined by median cut points was 11.6%, 18.9%, and 24.3% for NHDL-C, apoB, and LDL-P, respectively. Among women with LDL-C less than the median, coronary risk was underestimated for women with discordant (greater than or equal to the median) NHDL-C (age-adjusted hazard ratio, 2.92; 95% confidence interval, 2.33-3.67), apoB (2.48, 2.01-3.07), or LDL-P (2.32, 1.88-2.85) compared with women with concordant levels. Conversely, among women with LDL-C greater than or equal to the median, risk was overestimated for women with discordant (less than the median) NHDL-C (0.40, 0.29-0.57), apoB (0.34, 0.26-0.46), or LDL-P (0.42, 0.33-0.53). After multivariable adjustment for potentially mediating factors, including HDL cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary risk remained underestimated or overestimated by ≈20% to 50% for women with discordant levels.ConclusionsFor women with discordant LDL-related measures, coronary risk may be underestimated or overestimated when LDL-C alone is used.Clinical trial registration urlhttp://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
