Description

本発明は新規蛍光化合物に関する。本発明はまた、当該化合物を用いた細胞内コレステロール検出法および検出キットに関する。   The present invention relates to a novel fluorescent compound. The present invention also relates to an intracellular cholesterol detection method and detection kit using the compound.

コレステロールは生体膜の重要な構成成分であり、主に肝臓で生合性される内因性コレステロールの分泌・代謝異常は、メタボリックシンドロームやホルモン分泌異常の起因となると考えられている。そのため、コレステロールの細胞内分布・動能を精密に計測する技術が重要視されている。
生体内のコレステロールの分布や動態を解析する上で、蛍光分光法は、高感度な分光法のため有用である。現在では、共焦点レーザー顕微鏡、二光子励起蛍光顕微鏡など測定機器が飛躍的に進歩し、高い時空間分解能で分布や動態を解析することができる。しかしながらコレステロールは蛍光を示さないため、これらの技術を用いるためには、コレステロールに蛍光分子を標識させる必要があり、そのような蛍光性コレステロールが開発されている。ここで、重要な要素として蛍光団を結合させても、コレステロール本来の性質を保持させなければならないことが挙げられる。以下、これまで開発されている蛍光性コレステロールおよび問題点を示す。デヒドロエルゴステロール(A)はコレステロールに分子構造が類似しているため内因性コレステロールに近い性質を有する。しかしながら、蛍光強度が弱いため精度の高い解析が困難である。Molecular Probes社(米国)において、コレステロールの3位のヒドロキシル基をエステル化して蛍光団を組み込んだ化合物(B)が販売されている。しかしながら、細胞内に存在するコレステロールは、3位のヒドロキシル基が遊離して存在しており、細胞内コレステロールの動態解析には不向きである。また、同社は、コレステロールの22位にニトロベンゾフラザンを置換した化合物(C)を市販している。しかしながら、Cはミトコンドリアの膜に特異的に集積してしまいコレステロールの性質を保持していないことが報告されている[非特許文献1]。コレステロールの7位にダンシルヒドラゾン、24位にダンシルスルホンアミドを置換した化合物(DE)が開発されている。DEは、内因性コレステロールの性質に近いことが報告されており、蛍光性コレステロールアナログとして使用されている[非特許文献2、特許文献1]。しかしながら、吸収が紫外光領域のため、市販の共焦点レーザー顕微鏡を用いることが困難である。
Cholesterol is an important component of biological membranes, and abnormal secretion and metabolism of endogenous cholesterol biosynthesised mainly in the liver is considered to cause metabolic syndrome and abnormal hormonal secretion. For this reason, a technique for precisely measuring the intracellular distribution / activity of cholesterol is regarded as important.
In analyzing the distribution and dynamics of cholesterol in a living body, fluorescence spectroscopy is useful because of high-sensitivity spectroscopy. At present, measuring instruments such as confocal laser microscopes and two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopes have made great progress and can analyze distribution and dynamics with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, since cholesterol does not exhibit fluorescence, in order to use these techniques, it is necessary to label the cholesterol with a fluorescent molecule, and such fluorescent cholesterol has been developed. Here, it is mentioned that even if a fluorophore is bound as an important element, the original properties of cholesterol must be maintained. Hereinafter, fluorescent cholesterol and problems that have been developed so far are shown. Dehydroergosterol ( A ) has properties similar to endogenous cholesterol because of its molecular structure similar to cholesterol. However, since the fluorescence intensity is weak, it is difficult to analyze with high accuracy. Molecular Probes (USA) sells a compound ( B ) in which a hydroxyl group at the 3-position of cholesterol is esterified to incorporate a fluorophore. However, cholesterol present in cells is present in a state where the hydroxyl group at the 3-position is liberated, and is not suitable for analyzing the dynamics of intracellular cholesterol. The company also sells a compound ( C ) in which nitrobenzofurazan is substituted at the 22-position of cholesterol. However, it has been reported that C accumulates specifically in the mitochondrial membrane and does not retain the properties of cholesterol [Non-patent Document 1]. Compounds ( D , E ) in which dansyl hydrazone is substituted at the 7th position of cholesterol and dansylsulfonamide at the 24th position have been developed. D and E have been reported to be close to the properties of endogenous cholesterol, and are used as fluorescent cholesterol analogs [Non-patent Document 2, Patent Document 1]. However, since the absorption is in the ultraviolet region, it is difficult to use a commercially available confocal laser microscope.

実施例1:24NBDChoおよび24DBDChoの吸収・蛍光スペクトル
<DMPC膜における24NBDChoおよび24DBDChoの吸収・蛍光スペクトルの測定>
1-1 DMPC膜の調製
細胞膜のモデルとしてリン脂質DMPC(dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine)でできた単層ベシクル (ULV; unilamellar vesicle)を用いた。DMPC単層膜はエタノールインジェクション法を用いて作成した(DMPC濃度 1.0 x 10-3M)。
Example 1: Absorption / fluorescence spectrum of 24NBDCho and 24DBDCho <Measurement of absorption / fluorescence spectrum of 24NBDCho and 24DBDCho in DMPC film>
1-1 Preparation of DMPC membrane A monolayer vesicle (ULV; unilamellar vesicle) made of phospholipid DMPC (dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine) was used as a cell membrane model. The DMPC monolayer film was prepared using the ethanol injection method (DMPC concentration 1.0 × 10 −3 M).

1-2 24NBDChoおよび24DBDChoのDMPC膜中への取り込み
22NBDCho(前出の化合物 C)、24NBDChoおよび24DBDChoをDMSOに溶かして、これを上記で調製されたDMPC膜と混合し、常温でDMPC膜に取り込ませた。なお、各化合物の最終濃度は1.0 x 10-5Mとした。
図1に22NBDCho、24NBDChoおよび24DBDChoのDMPC膜中における吸収および蛍光スペクトルを示す。また、吸収極大波長、蛍光極大波長を表1に示す。24NBDChoは吸収および蛍光波長領域は22NBDChoとほぼ同様であった。一方、24DBDChoは、24NBDChoおよび22NBDChoと比較し、吸収は短波長化したが、蛍光は長波長化した。このため、24DBDChoは吸収と蛍光波長のピーク間隔が広くなり、蛍光顕微鏡下での観測において、観測波長で励起光をカットすることが容易となると考えられた。
1-2 Uptake of 24NBDCho and 24DBDCho into DMPC membrane
22NBDCho (compound C ), 24NBDCho and 24DBDCho were dissolved in DMSO, mixed with the DMPC membrane prepared above, and incorporated into the DMPC membrane at room temperature. The final concentration of each compound was 1.0 × 10 −5 M.
FIG. 1 shows absorption and fluorescence spectra of 22NBDCho, 24NBDCho and 24DBDCho in a DMPC film. Further, Table 1 shows the absorption maximum wavelength and the fluorescence maximum wavelength. 24NBDCho had almost the same absorption and fluorescence wavelength region as 22NBDCho. On the other hand, compared with 24NBDCho and 22NBDCho, 24DBDCho has a shorter absorption wavelength but a longer fluorescence wavelength. For this reason, 24DBDCho has a broad peak interval between absorption and fluorescence wavelength, and it is considered that excitation light can be easily cut at the observation wavelength in observation under a fluorescence microscope.

Table 2 shows the fluorescence quantum yield (Φ f ) in each solvent of 24NBDCho and 24DBDCho.

24NBDChoは、22NBDChoと同様にニトロベンゾフラザン部位を有しており、吸収および蛍光波長領域はこれまでとほぼ同様である(図1、表1)。
24DBDChoは、22NBDCho や24NBDChoと比較して、吸収は短波長化するが、蛍光は長波長化する(図1、表1)。このためストークスシフトが大きくなり、蛍光顕微鏡下での観測において、観測波長で励起光をカットすることが容易となる。
24NBDCho has a nitrobenzofurazane moiety similarly to 22NBDCho, and absorption and fluorescence wavelength regions are almost the same as before (FIG. 1, Table 1).
24DBDCho has a shorter absorption wavelength than 22NBDCho and 24NBDCho, but a longer wavelength of fluorescence (FIG. 1, Table 1). For this reason, the Stokes shift becomes large, and it becomes easy to cut the excitation light at the observation wavelength in the observation under the fluorescence microscope.

実施例2:培養細胞での蛍光測定
溶媒DMSOに溶かした22NBDCho、24NBDCho、24DBDChoを、マウス膵β細胞由来MIN6細胞に、最終濃度20μMで添加して2時間培養し、蛍光顕微鏡で各プローブの自家蛍光を観察した。
励起波長:400-440nm、検出波長:> 475nm
Example 2: Measurement of fluorescence in cultured cells 22NBDCho, 24NBDCho, and 24DBDCho dissolved in a solvent DMSO were added to mouse pancreatic β cell-derived MIN6 cells at a final concentration of 20 μM and cultured for 2 hours. Fluorescence was observed.
Excitation wavelength: 400-440nm, detection wavelength:> 475nm

その結果、図2に示されるように、22NBDChoはミトコンドリアに集積したのに対し、24NBDChoと24DBDChoは細胞内コレステロールと同様の分布を示し、細胞内コレステロールの挙動を模倣できることがわかった。   As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, 22NBDCho accumulated in mitochondria, whereas 24NBDCho and 24DBDCho showed the same distribution as intracellular cholesterol, and it was found that the behavior of intracellular cholesterol can be mimicked.
