SENSITIVE INTERROGATION OF ENHANCER ACTIVITY IN LIVING CELLS ON NANOELECTROPORATION-PROBING PLATFORM

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Enhancers involve in the upregulation of multiple oncogenes, playing a fundamental role in tumorigenesis. We developed a nanoelectroporation-probing (NP) platform that enables sensitive interrogation of enhancer activity in living cells. The nanoelectroporation biochip achieved highly-focused perforation of cell membrane and expedited the delivery of enhancer probes into nucleus. The enhancer probes (named ‘PH probe') increased the fluorescence signal over 10-fold within 1 hour. This platform was leveraged to distinguish the increased activity of CCAT1 enhancers in clinical cell samples, and reveal the existence of enhancer heterogeneity among lung cancer patients, providing a promising toolbox for intranuclear study of living cells.
