Biological Activity
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)[1]
SYL3C aptamer (various concentrations; 30 min at 37 °C) sodium binds to human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells with a Kd of 38 nM and to human gastric cancer Kato III cells with a Kd of 67 nM, exhibiting stronger affinity than the full-length SYL3 aptamer[1].
SYL3C aptamer (200 nM; 30 min flow cytometry, 40 min confocal imaging) sodium specifically binds to human EpCAM-positive cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, Kato III, HT-29, T47D, SW480) and does not bind to human EpCAM-negative cell lines (HEK-293T, U118MG, Ramos)[1].
SYL3C aptamer (200 nM; 40 min at 4 °C) sodium selectively labels EpCAM-positive human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and human gastric cancer Kato III cells for fluorescence imaging, with no detectable labeling of EpCAM-negative human embryonic kidney HEK-293T cells[1].
SYL3C aptamer (30 min cell incubation) sodium immobilized on a solid surface captures human gastric cancer Kato III cells with up to 63% efficiency and 80% purity, with minimal non-specific capture of EpCAM-negative Ramos cells[1].

-
Animal Model:BALB/c Nude (female, 5-6 weeks old, subcutaneous colorectal cancer xenograft model)[2]
-
Dosage:1 nM (Cy7-SYL3C); 1 nM (Cy7-DTN-SYL3C)
-
Administration:i.v.; single tail vein injection
-
Result:Exhibited primary renal metabolism, with fluorescence signals localized in the liver and kidneys for the first 4 hours, then concentrated in the kidneys with decreasing intensity over time.
Showed enhanced, prolonged fluorescence signals at the tumor site, confirming specific binding to EpCAM.
Had kidney fluorescence intensity 1.8 to 2 times higher than Cy7-SYL3C from 2 to 24 hours (statistically significant), indicating prolonged circulation time.
Had tumor fluorescence intensity twice as high as Cy7-SYL3C over 24 hours.
Displayed a dispersed dot-like binding pattern in tumor tissue with a Pearson’s coefficient of 0.32 against EpCAM (Cy5-SYL3C).
-
Animal Model:BALB/c (6-7 weeks old, healthy)[2]
-
Dosage:0.02 mg/kg (equivalent to 1 nM)
-
Administration:i.v.; single tail vein injection
-
Result:Showed no significant differences in H&E staining of major organs compared to the PBS control group, with no evident tissue damage observed.
