Abstract
Drug resistance in B cell leukemia is characterized by the coexpression of CXCR5 and CXCR3 chemokine receptors, making it a valuable biomarker for patient stratification. Herein, we report a novel platform of activatable chemokines to selectively image drug-resistant leukemic B cells for the first time. The C-terminal derivatization of the human chemokines CXCL13 and CXCL10 with bioorthogonal tetrazine-BODIPY and BCN groups retained binding and internalization via their cognate CXCR5 and CXCR3 receptors and enabled rapid fluorescence labeling of CXCR5+ CXCR3+ resistant B cells─but not drug-susceptible leukemic cells─via intracellular chemokine ligation. This modular chemical approach offers a versatile strategy for real-time immunophenotyping of cell populations with distinct chemokine profiles and will accelerate the design of new precision medicine tools to advance personalized therapies in blood tumors.
期刊介绍:
The flagship journal of the American Chemical Society, known as the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), has been a prestigious publication since its establishment in 1879. It holds a preeminent position in the field of chemistry and related interdisciplinary sciences. JACS is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research papers, covering a wide range of topics, and encompasses approximately 19,000 pages of Articles, Communications, and Perspectives annually. With a weekly publication frequency, JACS plays a vital role in advancing the field of chemistry by providing essential research.
