6 results about "Formyl peptide receptor" patented technology

The formyl peptide receptors (FPR) belong to a class of G protein-coupled receptors involved in chemotaxis. In humans, there are three formyl peptide receptor isoforms, each encoded by a separate gene that are named FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3. These receptors were originally identified by their ability to bind N-formyl peptides such as N-formylmethionine produced by the degradation of either bacterial or host cells. Hence formyl peptide receptors are involved in mediating immune cell response to infection. These receptors may also act to suppress the immune system under certain conditions. The close phylogenetic relation of signaling in chemotaxis and olfaction was recently proved by detection formyl peptide receptor like proteins as a distinct family of vomeronasal organ chemosensors in mice.

A polypeptide targeting formyl peptide receptor on cell membrane surface, a pharmaceutical composition and their applications

ActiveCN115466306BAntipyreticAnalgesicsGene knockdownCell membrane
The present application provides a polypeptide targeting formyl peptide receptor on the cell membrane surface, a pharmaceutical composition and their applications. The polypeptide targeting formyl peptide receptor on the cell membrane surface includes a ligand of the formyl peptide receptor and Cys or Lys located at the C-terminus of the polypeptide connected to the ligand of the formyl peptide receptor; or, the polypeptide is the ligand of the formyl peptide receptor, and the C-terminus of the ligand of the formyl peptide receptor is Cys or Lys. After the polypeptide stimulates the formyl peptide receptor on the cell membrane surface, the endocytosed formyl peptide receptor cannot be recycled to the cell membrane, thereby targeting and rapidly knocking down the formyl peptide receptor on the cell membrane surface. Moreover, by using this polypeptide to knock down the formyl peptide receptor on the cell membrane surface, there is no need to perform enzymatic modification on the polypeptide additionally, no need to rely on other degradation techniques, and the off-target effects of gene knockout and gene knockdown methods can be avoided. The operation is simple and the effectiveness is high.

Modularized pathogenic microorganism targeting fluorescent probe, antibacterial drug delivery oligopeptide, preparation method and application

The invention discloses a modularized pathogenic microorganism targeting fluorescent probe, an antibacterial drug delivery oligopeptide and a preparation method and application thereof, the probe is composed of the following functional modules: a chemotactic module: formyl-D-Phe-Leu-D-Met, which realizes active migration to an infectious inflammation microenvironment by combining with a formyl peptide receptor; the targeting module comprises D-Trp-D-Trp-Arg and RWWR which are specifically combined with the surfaces of the pathogenic microorganisms through cationic interaction and hydrophobic interaction; the fluorescence activation module is a double Cy5.5 fluorophore which is covalently connected through lysine side chain amino; and the connection and stability module is a PEG4-GGSG flexible linker, has C-terminal amidation and key site D-type amino acid modification, and is used for enhancing the stability of the probe. The probe can actively migrate to an infectious inflammation microenvironment, is specifically combined with the surface of pathogenic microorganisms, and triggers fluorescence activation after combination, so that accurate imaging of an infected part is realized.
