Selective turn-on fluorescent probes for imaging hydrogen sulfide in living cells.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is an important biological messenger but few biologically-compatible methods are available for its detection. Here we report two bright fluorescent probes that are selective for H(2)S over cysteine, glutathione and other reactive sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen species. Both probes are demonstrated to detect H(2)S in live cells.

A selective turn-on fluorescent sensor for imaging copper in living cells.

Project description:We present the synthesis, properties, and biological applications of Coppersensor-1 (CS1), a new water-soluble, turn-on fluorescent sensor for intracellular imaging of copper in living biological samples. CS1 utilizes a BODIPY reporter and thioether-rich receptor to provide high selectivity and sensitivity for Cu+ over other biologically relevant metal ions, including Cu2+, in aqueous solution. This BODIPY-based probe is the first Cu+-responsive sensor with visible excitation and emission profiles and gives a 10-fold turn-on response for detecting this ion. Confocal microscopy experiments further establish that CS1 is membrane-permeable and can successfully monitor intracellular Cu+ levels within living cells.

A novel near-infrared fluorescent probe for highly selective recognition of hydrogen sulfide and imaging in living cells.

Project description:A novel near-infrared fluorescent probe (L) based on a 1,4-diethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7H-pyrano[2,3-g]quinoxalin-7-one scaffold has been synthesized and characterized. Probe L displays highly selective and sensitive recognition to H2S over various anions and biological thiols with a large Stokes shift (125 nm) in THF/H2O (6/4, v/v, Tris-HCl 10 mM, pH = 7.4). This probe exhibits turn-on fluorescence for H2S through HS- induced thiolysis of dinitrophenyl ether. Confocal laser scanning micrographs of MCF-7 cells incubated with L confirm that L is cell-permeable and can successfully detect H2S in living cells.

Rational design of a selective and sensitive "turn-on" fluorescent probe for monitoring and imaging hydrogen peroxide in living cells.

Project description:As one type of reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a key role in regulating a variety of cellular functions. Herein, a fluorescent probe N-Py-BO was well designed and synthesized and its ability for detecting H2O2 by fluorescence intensity was evaluated. In the design, the arylboronate ester group was acted as a reaction site for H2O2. Upon reaction with H2O2 under physiological conditions, the boronate moiety in the probe was oxidized, followed by detachment from the probe and as a result, a "turn-on" fluorescence response for H2O2 was acquired. Due to the D-A structure formation between N,N'-dimethylaminobenzene and the -CN group and the linkage by thiophene and C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds to increase the conjugate length, this probe showed a remarkable red shift of emission wavelength (650 nm) as well as a large Stokes shift (214 nm). An excellent linear relation with concentrations of H2O2 ranging from 2.0 to 200 μM and a good selectivity over other biological species were obtained. Importantly, taking advantage of the low toxicity and good biocompatibility, the developed probe was successfully applied to monitoring and imaging H2O2 and its level fluctuation in living cells, which provided a powerful tool for evaluation of cellular oxidative stress and understanding the pathophysiological process of H2O2-related diseases.

Reaction based fluorescent probes for hydrogen sulfide.

Project description:A reaction based fluorescence turn-on strategy for hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) was developed. This strategy was based on a H(2)S-specific Michael addition-cyclization sequence. Other biological thiols such as cysteine and glutathione did not pursue the reaction and therefore did not turn on the fluorescence/consume the substrates. The probes showed good selectivity and sensitivity for hydrogen sulfide.

A turn-on endoplasmic reticulum-targeted two-photon fluorescent probe for hydrogen sulfide and bio-imaging applications in living cells, tissues, and zebrafish.

Project description:As one of the important gas signal molecules, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is associated with many important physiological processes in living organisms. Organelles, especially endoplasmic reticulum (ER), play a crucial role in the cell metabolism. Accordingly, the detection of H2S in the ER is of high interest. Toward this goal, we have described the development of the first ER-targeted fluorescent H2S probe (Na-H 2 S-ER). The new probe exhibited favorable features, such as a large turn-on fluorescence signal (45-fold fluorescence enhancement), high sensitivity and selectivity. The probe was successfully employed for imaging exogenous and endogenous H2S in the living HeLa cells. Significantly, the new probe Na-H 2 S-ER was employed to visualize H2S in the ER of living cells for the first time. In addition, the probe was also successfully used for imaging H2S in the living tissues up to a depth of 100 ?m and in the living zebrafish.

Cyclodextrin-Based Metal-Organic Nanotube as Fluorescent Probe for Selective Turn-On Detection of Hydrogen Sulfide in Living Cells Based on H2S-Involved Coordination Mechanism.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been considered as the third biologically gaseous messenger (gasotransmitter) after nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Fluorescent detection of H2S in living cells is very important to human health because it has been found that the abnormal levels of H2S in human body can cause Alzheimer's disease, cancers and diabetes. Herein, we develop a cyclodextrin-based metal-organic nanotube, CD-MONT-2, possessing a {Pb14} metallamacrocycle for efficient detection of H2S. CD-MONT-2' (the guest-free form of CD-MONT-2) exhibits turn-on detection of H2S with high selectivity and moderate sensitivity when the material was dissolved in DMSO solution. Significantly, CD-MONT-2' can act as a fluorescent turn-on probe for highly selective detection of H2S in living cells. The sensing mechanism in the present work is based on the coordination of H2S as the auxochromic group to the central Pb(II) ion to enhance the fluorescence intensity, which is studied for the first time.

A Red-Emission Fluorescent Probe for Intracellular Biothiols and Hydrogen Sulfide Imaging in Living Cells.

Project description:This research centers on the development and synthesis of a longwave fluorescence probe, labeled as 60T, designed for the simultaneous detection of hydrogen sulfide, cysteine/homocysteine, and glutathione. The probe showcases a swift response, good linearity range, and heightened sensitivity, boasting that the detection limits of the probe for Cys, Hcy, GSH and H2S were 0.140, 0.202, 0.259 and 0.396 μM, respectively. Notably, its efficacy in monitoring thiol status changes in live MCF-7 cells is underscored by a substantial decrease in fluorescence intensity upon exposure to the thiol trapping reagent, N-ethyl maleimide (NEM). With an impressive red emission signal at 630 nm and a substantial Stokes shift of 80 nm, this probe exhibits remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for biothiols and H2S, indicating promising applications in the diagnosis and surgical navigation of relevant cancers.

Organelle-targetable fluorescent probes for imaging hydrogen peroxide in living cells via SNAP-Tag protein labeling.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is a potent small-molecule oxidant that can exert a diverse array of physiological and/or pathological effects within living systems depending on the timing and location of its production, accumulation, trafficking, and consumption. To help study the chemistry and biology of this reactive oxygen species (ROS) in its native cellular context, we now present a new method for monitoring local, subcellular changes in H(2)O(2) levels by fluorescence imaging. Specifically, we have exploited the versatility of the SNAP-tag technology for site-specific protein labeling with small molecules on the surface or interior of living cells with the use of boronate-capped dyes to selectively visualize H(2)O(2). The resulting SNAP-Peroxy-Green (SNAP-PG) probes consist of appropriately derivatized boronates bioconjugated to SNAP-tag fusion proteins. Spectroscopic measurements of the SNAP-PG constructs confirm their ability to detect H(2)O(2) with specificity over other biologically relevant ROS. Moreover, these hybrid small-molecule/protein reporters can be used in live mammalian cells expressing SNAP-tag fusion proteins directed to the plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Imaging experiments using scanning confocal microscopy establish organelle-specific localization of the SNAP-tag probes and their fluorescence turn-on in response to changes in local H(2)O(2) levels. This work provides a general molecular imaging platform for assaying H(2)O(2) chemistry in living cells with subcellular resolution.
