Abstract

Tenascin-C (TN-C) is an extracellular matrix protein that is overexpressed during tissue remodeling processes, including tumor growth. To identify an aptamer for testing as a tumor-selective ligand, SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) procedures were performed using both TN-C and TN-C-expressing U251 glioblastoma cells. The different selection techniques yielded TN-C aptamers that are related in sequence. In addition, a crossover procedure that switched from tumor cell to purified protein selections was effective in isolating two high-affinity TN-C aptamers. When targeting tumor cells in vitro, the observed propensity of naive oligonucleotide pools to evolve TN-C aptamers may be due to the abundance of this protein. In vivo, TN-C abundance may also be well suited for aptamer accumulation in the tumor milieu. A size-minimized and nuclease-stabilized aptamer, TTA1, binds to the fibrinogen-like domain of TN-C with an equilibrium dissociation constant (K(d)) of 5 x 10(-9) m. At 13 kDa, this aptamer is intermediate in size between peptides and single chain antibody fragments, both of which are superior to antibodies for tumor targeting because of their smaller size. TTA1 defines a new class of ligands that are intended for targeted delivery of radioisotopes or chemical agents to diseased tissues.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
