Abstract:

The ability to detect and image secreted peroxynitrite (ONOO- ) along the extracellular surface of a single cell is biologically significant, as ONOO- generally exerts its function for host defense and signal transductions at the plasma membrane. However, as a result of the short lifetime and fast diffusion rate of small ONOO- , precise determination of the ONOO- level at the cell surface remains a challenging task. In this paper, the use of a membrane-anchored streptavidin-biotin-controlled binding probe (CBP), ONOO-CBP, to determine quantitatively the ONOO- level at the cell surface and to investigate the effect of different stimulants on the production of ONOO- along the plasma membrane of macrophages is reported. Our results revealed that the combination of NO synthase (iNOS) and NADPH oxidase (NOX) activators was highly effective in inducing ONOO- secretion, achieving more than a 25-fold increase in ONOO- relative to untreated cells. After 1 h of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) stimulation, the amount of ONOO- secreted by RAW264.7 macrophages was similar to the condition treated with 25 μm 3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1), which was estimated to release about 20 μm of ONOO- into Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) in 1 h. This novel approach should open up new opportunities to image various reactive oxygen and nitrogen species secreted at the plasma membrane that cannot be simply achieved by conventional analytical methods.
