Results from this study3

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

In this study, KPV was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking KPV.

    The DCM-KPV probe allowed noninvasive observation of accumulation in colon inflammation regions and distinguished chronic colitis, acute colitis and normal groups.

    In plain wordsIn a colitis model, a KPV-based probe made it possible to tell chronic colitis, acute colitis and normal groups apart.

    Summary
    the fluorescent probe of DCM-KPV makes a breakthrough to the direct noninvasive observation of the accumulation in colon inflammation regions via intestinal mucosa, even successfully distinguishing the chronic, acute ulcerative colitis and normal groups.

    Summary · context
    Herein, we report a PepT1 peptide receptor-targeted fluorescent probe, dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM)-KPV, with the strategy of conjugating the KPV into the DCM chromophore.

    In this study, KPV was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking KPV.

    In a Caco-2 cell model of ulcerative colitis with overexpressed PepT1, the DCM-KPV probe accumulated KPV in the cytoplasm and nucleus.

    In plain wordsIn cells, a KPV-based probe built up inside colon cells that carry the PepT1 transporter.
