Detection of an estrogen derivative in two breast cancer cell lines using a single core multimodal probe for imaging (SCoMPI) imaged by a panel of luminescent and vibrational techniques
3-Methoxy-17α-ethynylestradiol or mestranol is a prodrug for ethynylestradiol and the estrogen component of some oral contraceptive formulations. We demonstrate here that a single core multimodal probe for imaging - SCoMPI - can be efficiently grafted onto mestranol allowing its tracking in two brea...

Summary: | 3-Methoxy-17α-ethynylestradiol or mestranol is a prodrug for ethynylestradiol and the estrogen component of some oral contraceptive formulations. We demonstrate here that a single core multimodal probe for imaging - SCoMPI - can be efficiently grafted onto mestranol allowing its tracking in two breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 fixed cells. Correlative imaging studies based on luminescence (synchrotron UV spectromicroscopy, wide field and confocal fluorescence microscopies) and vibrational (AFMIR, synchrotron FTIR spectromicroscopy, synchrotron-based multiple beam FTIR imaging, confocal Raman microspectroscopy) spectroscopies were consistent with one another and showed a Golgi apparatus distribution of the SCoMPI-mestranol conjugate in both cell lines. |
