Exploring the post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins in the course of atherosclerotic disease has important guiding significance for the early warning of atherosclerotic plaque, the development of targeted drugs and the treatment of disease. The advancement advanced detection and imaging methods for phosphorylated and glycosylated proteins is an important tool to further reveal the levels of protein phosphorylation and glycosylation during atherosclerotic plaque formation. We present research strategies for detecting protein phosphorylation and glycosylation from the perspective of fluorescent probes, and discuss the feasibility and future direction of the development of these methods for detecting and imaging phosphorylated and glycosylated proteins in atherosclerotic disease.
Keywords: atherosclerosis; biomarker; fluorescent probe; glycosylation; phosphorylation.
