Recombinant Fluc protein (Km = 2.06 μM )

用 AkaLumine HCl 处理的 LLC/luc 和 MDA-MB-231/luc 细胞中的信号在较低浓度 (2.5 μM) 时达到峰值，而 D-荧光素和 CycLuc1 在较高剂量下产生更多的生物发光。上升，即使在 250 μM 时也没有达到最大信号 [1]。

AkaLumine 盐酸盐显示来自肺转移的信号显着升高，与 D-荧光素给药相比增强了 8.1 倍。为了评估 AkaLumine HCl 在检测深部组织靶点方面相对于 CycLuc1 的优越性，以 5 mM 剂量（最大剂量）静脉注射 LLC/luc 细胞 15 分钟后，AkaLumine HCl 和 CycLuc1 处理的小鼠的生物发光 比较图像 CycLuc1 的浓度由于其水溶性较低，因此其含量较高。与 CycLuc1 相比，AkaLumine 盐酸盐对播散性肺癌细胞的检测灵敏度提高了 3.3 倍。通过按照 CycLuc1 和 AkaLumine 盐酸盐的顺序腹腔注射 5 mM 底物，并以相反的顺序每 8 小时注射一次，对具有肺转移的相同小鼠进行成像，进一步验证了 AkaLumine 盐酸盐的优越性。成像。与 CycLuc1 相比，AkaLumine 盐酸盐的肺转移信号增加了约四倍 [1]。

可在小鼠体内实现高灵敏度的深部组织成像。将AkaLumine腹腔注射到小鼠体内后，其可与荧光素酶反应，产生的近红外生物发光能够穿透组织，使深部组织如大脑和腹部器官等结构清晰成像，为无创监测活体动物体内生物过程提供了有力工具[1]

生物发光发射光谱的测量[1]
使用ATTO AB-1850分光光度计测量d-荧光素、CycLuc1和AkaLumine-HCl的生物发光发射光谱。通过将5 μl基质（100 μM），5 μl QuantiLum重组萤光素酶溶液（1 毫克 ml−1）和5 μl磷酸钾缓冲液（500 mM、pH 8.0）。然后通过注射10 μl ATP Mg（200 μM）加入反应混合物中。生物发光发射光谱在1 nm从400增加到780 nm使用3 最小积分时间。[1]

Tumour models
For subcutaneous tumour models, LLC/luc (3 × 105 cells per 10 μl) or PC-3/κB-luc (1 × 106 cells per 10 μl) suspended in PBS was mixed with an equal volume of Geltrex and subcutaneously or intratibially injected into C57B/6 albino mice (female) or severe combined immunodeficient mice (male), respectively. The experiments were performed 4 days after engraftment. For a model with disseminated cancer cells in the lung, C57B/6 albino mice (male) were intravenously injected with LLC/luc (1 × 105 cells per 100 μl PBS) 15 min before in vivo BLI. For lung metastasis model, LLC/luc (5 × 105 cells per 100 μl) suspended in PBS was injected from tail vein of C57B/6 albino mice (male). The experiments were performed 10–20 days after intravenous injection. These tumour models are well established and tumour growth is stable. Therefore, six samples are adequate sample size for evaluation of tumour growth in each experiment.

In vivo BLI
Bioluminescence images of subcutaneous tumours were acquired with IVIS Spectrum 15 min (unless otherwise indicated) after intraperitoneal injection with indicated amount of the substrates. As bioluminescence intensities from lung metastasis peaked at various time after a substrate injection, bioluminescence images of lung metastasis were sequentially acquired with IVIS Spectrum every 3 min for 30 min after intraperitoneal injection with the substrates and the highest bioluminescence intensities among the acquired images were selected for analysis. For comparing bioluminescence production between different substrates using the same mice, the images for AkaLumine-HCl were acquired 4 and 8 h after injection of d-luciferin and CycLucl, respectively. The following conditions were used for image acquisition: open emission filter, exposure time=60 s, binning=medium: 8, field of view=12.9 × 12.9 cm and f/stop=1. For three-dimensional BLI in lung metastasis model, a mouse injected with AkaLumine-HCl was subjected to BLI with three different wavelengths (660±10, 680±10 and 700±10 nm) of bioluminescence filters. The following conditions were used for imaging acquisition: exposure time=60 s, binning=medium: 8, field of view=12.9 × 12.9 cm and f/stop=1. The bioluminescence images were analysed by Living Image 4.3 software specialized for IVIS system.

Ex vivo BLI
A mouse was scarified immediately after in vivo BLI by using AkaLumine-HCl and the lung was removed. Bioluminescence image of the lung was obtained with the following conditions: open emission filter, exposure time=30 s, binning=medium: 8, field of view=12.9 × 12.9 cm and f/stop=1. The bioluminescence images were analysed by Living Image 4.3 software specialized for IVIS system.

Dissolve AkaLumine in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) first, and then dilute it with physiological saline. Intraperitoneally inject the prepared solution into mice at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Observe the bioluminescence signal of mice with an in - vivo imaging system at different time points after injection to perform deep - tissue imaging [1]

No significant toxic effects were observed in mice after intraperitoneal injection of AkaLumine. The general condition of the mice did not change significantly, and no liver or kidney function damage was found, indicating that AkaLumine has good biocompatibility and low toxicity[1].

[1]. A luciferin analogue generating near-infrared bioluminescence achieves highly sensitive deep-tissue imaging. Nat Commun. 2016 Jun 14;7:11856.

AkaLumine is a luciferin analog. Traditional luciferin-luciferase systems are limited in in vivo signal detection because their short-wavelength light is easily absorbed by tissues. AkaLumine can produce near-infrared bioluminescence and has better tissue penetration, thus enabling high-sensitivity deep tissue imaging. It can be used for non-invasive monitoring of gene expression and biological processes in living animals, providing a new method for biological research and preclinical studies [1].
