Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the combination of biotechnology, specifically to a fructose probe, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Fructose is commonly added to foods and beverages as a sweetener due to its high sweetness, good solubility, and low price. However, excessive fructose intake also leads to many public health problems and disrupts people's lives. Epidemiological studies have found a significant positive correlation between the intake of high-sugar beverages and the incidence of chronic kidney disease. Previous research in our laboratory has confirmed that a long-term high-fructose diet can induce kidney damage in rats, manifested as proteinuria and fusion and shedding of glomerular podocyte foot processes. Chronic kidney disease can alter the structure and function of podocytes, causing them to lose specific differentiation markers and reducing glomerular filtration capacity. Studies have found that high fructose intake accelerates podocyte damage, reducing the structural support provided by podocytes to glomerular capillaries, impairing glomerular filtration and reabsorption functions, and promoting the production of uric acid, creatinine, urea nitrogen, and proteinuria. However, it remains unclear whether fructose directly binds to proteins in glomerular podocytes and regulates podocyte function through these proteins, leading to kidney damage.

[0003] Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a highly valuable proteomics tool used for identifying active small-molecule target proteins, elucidating the function of unknown proteins, and screening small-molecule inhibitors. ABPP utilizes reactive groups on chemical probes to covalently label active sites in the proteome. The labeled proteins are then enriched using reporter groups on the probes, and finally, mass spectrometry analysis is used to identify protein components and site information. In recent years, chemical proteomics has made significant progress. ABPP enables objective and comprehensive analysis of small molecules and their binding proteins, providing a theoretical basis for identifying specific physiological or pathological processes associated with small-molecule proteins. However, a fructose probe based on ABPP technology for screening and identifying fructose-directly binding proteins is currently lacking. Based on previous research, this invention designs and successfully obtains a fructose probe that can be used for screening and identifying fructose-directly binding proteins using ABPP technology. Preliminary results demonstrate that high fructose levels can induce glomerular podocyte dysfunction and kidney damage through these target proteins. Summary of the Invention
