A highly specific probe for sensing hydrogen sulfide in live cells based on copper-initiated fluorogen with aggregation-induced emission characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Here we reported the first fluorescent probe with aggregation-induced emission characteristics, namely AIE-S, for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in live cells. The detection system is selective for complicated biological application and the response is fast enough to complete within seconds. Moreover, the probe exhibits the unique advantage of being immune to aggregation-caused quenching which is a detrimental phenomenon limiting the application of most current available H2S fluorescent probes. The detection mechanism was investigated and postulated to be S(2-) initiated de-coordination and thereafter aggregation of the AIE-S complex.

Hydrogen sulfide sensing using an aurone-based fluorescent probe.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide detection and sensing is an area of interest from both an environmental and a biological perspective. While many methods are currently available, the most sensitive and biologically applicable ones are fluorescence based. In general, these fluorescent probes are based upon large, high-molecular weight, well-characterized fluorescent scaffolds that are synthetically demanding to prepare and difficult to tune and modify. In this study, we have reported a new reduction-based, rationally designed and synthesized turn-on fluorescent probe (Z)-2-(4'-azidobenzylidene)-5-fluorobenzofuran-3(2H)-one (6g) utilizing a low molecular weight aurone fluorophore. During these studies, the modular nature of the synthesis was used to quickly overcome problems with solubility, overlap of excitation of the probe and reduced product, and rate of reaction, resulting in a final compound that is efficient and sensitive for the detection of hydrogen sulfide. The limitation of slow reaction and the reduced fluorescence in a biologically relevent medium was solved by employing cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The probe features a high fluorescence enhancement, fast response (10-30 min), and good sensitivity (1 μm) and selectivity for hydrogen sulfide.

Array-Based Protein Sensing Using an Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) Light-Up Probe.

Project description:Protein detection and identification are important for the diagnosis of diseases; however, the development of facile sensing probes still remains challenging. Here, we present an array-based "turn on" protein-sensing platform capable of detecting and identifying proteins using aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens). The water-soluble AIEgens in which fluorescence was initially turned off showed strong fluorescence in the presence of nanomolar concentrations of proteins via restriction of the intramolecular rotation of the AIEgens. The binding affinities between the AIEgens and proteins were associated with various chemical functional groups on AIEgens, resulting in distinct fluorescent-signal outcomes for each protein. The combined fluorescence outputs provided sufficient information to detect and discriminate proteins of interest by linear discriminant analysis. Furthermore, the array-based sensor enabled classification of different concentrations of specific proteins. These results provide novel insight into the use of the AIEgens as a new type of sensing probe in array-based systems.

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.

A ratiometric Raman probe for live-cell imaging of hydrogen sulfide in mitochondria by stimulated Raman scattering.

Project description:Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) coupled with alkyne tags has been an emerging imaging technique to visualize small-molecule species with high sensitivity and specificity. Here we describe the development of a ratiometric Raman probe for visualizing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) species in living cells as the first alkyne-based sensor for SRS microscopy. This probe uses an azide unit as a selective reactive site, and it targets mitochondria with high specificity. The SRS ratiometric images show a strong response to H2S level changes in living cells.

Size-tunable copper nanocluster aggregates and their application in hydrogen sulfide sensing on paper-based devices.

Project description:Polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), a strong polyelectrolyte, was used to prepare red photoluminescent PSS-penicillamine (PA) copper (Cu) nanoclusters (NC) aggregates, which displayed high selectivity and sensitivity to the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The size of the PSS-PA-Cu NC aggregates could be readily controlled from 5.5??m to 173?nm using different concentrations of PSS, which enabled better dispersity and higher sensitivity towards H2S. PSS-PA-Cu NC aggregates provided rapid H2S detection by using the strong Cu-S interaction to quench NC photoluminescence as a sensing mechanism. As a result, a detection limit of 650?nM, which is lower than the maximum level permitted in drinking water by the World Health Organization, was achieved for the analysis of H2S in spring-water samples. Moreover, highly dispersed PSS-PA-Cu NC aggregates could be incorporated into a plate-format paper-based analytical device which enables ultra-low sample volumes (5??L) and feature shorter analysis times (30?min) compared to conventional solution-based methods. The advantages of low reagent consumption, rapid result readout, limited equipment, and long-term storage make this platform sensitive and simple enough to use without specialized training in resource constrained settings.

Novel Aggregation-Induced Emission Materials/Cadmium Sulfide Composite Photocatalyst for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution in Absence of Sacrificial Reagent.

Project description:This work focuses on the development of a novel organic-inorganic photoactive material composited by aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIE) and CdS. Tetraphenylethene-based AIE (TPE-Ca) is synthesized on CdS to form CdS/TPE-Ca electrode, due to its suitable band structure and potential capability of renewable energy production. The CdS/TPE-Ca electrode presents over three-fold improved photocurrent density and dramatically reduced interfacial resistance, compared with the pure CdS electrode. In addition, the engineering of the band alignment allows the holes to accumulate on the valance band of TPE-Ca, which would partially prevent the CdS from photo-corrosion, thus improving the stability of the sacrificial-free electrolyte photoelectrochemical cell.

Development of a "Turn-on" Fluorescent Probe-Based Sensing System for Hydrogen Sulfide in Liquid and Gas Phase.

Project description:A "turn-on" fluorescence sensing system based on a BODIPY-cobaloxime complex for the detection of H2S in liquid and gas phase was developed. To that aim, two cobaloxime complexes bearing an axial pyridyl-BODIPY ligand were initially evaluated as sensitive fluorescent HS- indicators in aqueous solution. The sensing mechanism involves the selective substitution of the BODIPY ligand by the HS- anion at the cobalt center, which is accompanied by a strong fluorescence enhancement. The selection of a complex with an ideal stability and reactivity profile toward HS- relied on the optimal interaction between the cobalt metal-center and two different pyridyl BODIPY ligands. Loading the best performing BODIPY-cobaloxime complex onto a polymeric hydrogel membrane allowed us to study the selectivity of the probe for HS- against different anions and cysteine. Successful detection of H2S by the fluorescent "light-up" membrane was not only accomplished for surface water but could also be demonstrated for relevant H2S concentrations in gas phase.

Direct Electrochemical Sensing of Hydrogen Sulfide without Sulfur Poisoning.

Project description:An electrochemical method capable of direct, real-time detection of hydrogen sulfide was developed using triple pulse amperometry (TPA) to mitigate sulfur poisoning and its related passivation of the working electrode surface. Through repeated cycles of discrete potential pulses, the electrooxidation of surface-adsorbed elemental sulfur to water-soluble sulfate ions was exploited to regenerate the glassy carbon electrode surface and maintain consistent sensor performance. Amperometric measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy surface analysis demonstrated that the TPA sensors provided enhanced analytical performance via decreased sulfur accumulation relative to low-potential (?+0.7 V) constant potential amperometry. Sensors operated under optimized TPA parameters retained high sensitivity (57.4 ± 13.0 nA/?M), a wide linear dynamic range (150 nM-15 ?M), fast response times (<10 s), and a submicromolar detection limit (<100 nM) upon consecutive calibration cycles. The sensitivity and response time achieved were comparable to or better than current electrochemical sensors. Moreover, the simplicity of the method eliminates the need for external redox mediators or semipermeable membranes.

A multi-signal fluorescent probe for simultaneously distinguishing and sequentially sensing cysteine/homocysteine, glutathione, and hydrogen sulfide in living cells.

Project description:Biothiols, which have a close network of generation and metabolic pathways among them, are essential reactive sulfur species (RSS) in the cells and play vital roles in human physiology. However, biothiols possess highly similar chemical structures and properties, resulting in it being an enormous challenge to simultaneously discriminate them from each other. Herein, we develop a unique fluorescent probe (HMN) for not only simultaneously distinguishing Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S from each other, but also sequentially sensing Cys/Hcy/GSH and H2S using a multi-channel fluorescence mode for the first time. When responding to the respective biothiols, the robust probe exhibits multiple sets of fluorescence signals at three distinct emission bands (blue-green-red). The new probe can also sense H2S at different concentration levels with changes of fluorescence at the blue and red emission bands. In addition, the novel probe HMN is able to discriminate and sequentially sense biothiols in biological environments via three-color fluorescence imaging. We expect that the development of the robust probe HMN will provide a powerful strategy to design fluorescent probes for the discrimination and sequential detection of biothiols, and offer a promising tool for exploring the interrelated roles of biothiols in various physiological and pathological conditions.

A Visible Colorimetric Fluorescent Probe for Hydrogen Sulfide Detection in Wine.

Project description:A new efficient and practical fluorescent probe 6-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)naphthalen-2-yl-thiophene-2-carboxylate (probe 1) was synthesized to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The addition of H2S caused the solution of probe 1 to change from colorless to yellow, and the solution of probe 1 changes to different colors with respect to different concentrations of H2S. Importantly, probe 1 could help detect H2S efficiently by a distinct color response as a visible detection agent. Probe 1 reacted with various concentrations of H2S (0-200 μM), and the detection limit for H2S was 0.10 μM. Particularly, probe 1 can be applied as a sensor to detect H2S accurately in wine samples.
