Abstract: | Functional imaging has become an important tool in oncology because it not only provides information
about the size and localization of the tumour, but also about the pathophysiological features of the
tumoural cells. One of the characteristic features of some tumour types is that their fast growth leads
to defcient intratumoral vascularization, which results in low oxygen availability. To overcome this
lack of oxygen, tumoural cells activate the neoangiogenic program by upregulating the transcription
factor HIF-1α. Herein we report a non-invasive in vitro detection method of hypoxia using designed
fuorescent peptide probes based on the oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-1α. The
fuorescent probe retains the oxygen-sensing capability of HIF-1α, so that it is stabilized under hypoxia
and readily degraded by the proteasome under normoxia, thus providing direct information of the
cellular oxygen availability |
