New class of 8-aryl-7-deazaguanine cell permeable fluorescent probes.

ABSTRACT: A one step synthesis of fluorescent 8-aryl-(7-deazaguanines) has been accomplished. Probes exhibit blue to green high quantum yield fluorescence in a variety of organic and aqueous solutions, high extinction coefficients, and large Stokes shifts often above 100 nm. The probes are highly cell permeable, and exhibit stable bright fluorescence once intracellular; therefore are suited to the design of biosensors.

Design and synthesis of a new class of membrane-permeable triazaborolopyridinium fluorescent probes.

Project description:A new class of fluorescent triazaborolopyridinium compounds was synthesized from hydrazones of 2-hydrazinylpyridine (HPY) and evaluated as potential dyes for live-cell imaging applications. The HPY dyes are small, their absorption/emission properties are tunable through variation of pyridyl or hydrazone substituents, and they offer favorable photophysical characteristics featuring large Stokes shifts and general insensitivity to solvent or pH. The stability, neutral charge, cell membrane permeability, and favorable relative influences on the water solubility of HPY conjugates are complementary to existing fluorescent dyes and offer advantages for the development of receptor-targeted small-molecule probes. This potential was assessed through the development of a new class of cysteine-derived HPY-conjugate imaging agents for the kinesin spindle protein (KSP) that is expressed in the cytoplasm during mitosis and is a promising chemotherapeutic target. Conjugates possessing the neutral HPY or charged Alexa Fluor dyes that function as potent, selective allosteric inhibitors of the KSP motor were compared using biochemical and cell-based phenotypic assays and live-cell imaging. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the HPY dye moiety as a component of probes for an intracellular protein target and highlight the importance of dye structure in determining the pathway of cell entry and the overall performance of small-molecule conjugates as imaging agents.

Evaluation of Fluorescent Cu2+ Probes: Instant Sensing, Cell Permeable Recognition and Quantitative Detection.

Project description:By incorporating a rhodamine spirolactam structure as the recognition site for Cu2+, two novel probes were synthesized through a connection of rhodamine 6G acylhydrazine and 5-formyl-6-hydroxyl-4-methylcoumarin/2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. In the recognition process of probes towards Cu2+, the spirolactam ring exhibited opening and closing, accompanying an instant and specific change in fluorescence and in color, which could also achieve a naked-eye and semiquantitative recognition of aqueous Cu2+ besides the fluorescent Cu2+ detection method. Fluorescent analyses and ECV304 cell imaging further revealed the probes' good optical stability, instant response, low toxicity, and membrane permeability, which offers future possibilities for the probes' instant detection and the real-time tracking of Cu2+ in biological systems.

Cell-permeable organic fluorescent probes for live-cell long-term super-resolution imaging reveal lysosome-mitochondrion interactions.

Project description:Characterizing the long-term nanometer-scale interactions between lysosomes and mitochondria in live cells is essential for understanding their functions but remains challenging due to limitations of the existing fluorescent probes. Here, we develop cell-permeable organic fluorescent probes for lysosomes with excellent specificity and high photostability. We also use an existing Atto 647N dye with high brightness and excellent photostability to achieve specific labeling of mitochondria in live cells. Using these probes, we obtain dual-color structured illumination microscopy (SIM) images of dynamic physical lysosome-mitochondrion interactions in live cells at an ~90-nm resolution over a long time course of ~13 min. We successfully record the consecutive dynamic processes of lysosomal fusion and fission, as well as four types of physical lysosome-mitochondrion interactions by super-resolution imaging. Our probes provide an avenue for understanding the functions and the dynamic interplay of lysosomes and mitochondria in live cells.

A general strategy for developing cell-permeable photo-modulatable organic fluorescent probes for live-cell super-resolution imaging.

Project description:Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) achieves super-resolution imaging beyond the diffraction limit but critically relies on the use of photo-modulatable fluorescent probes. Here we report a general strategy for constructing cell-permeable photo-modulatable organic fluorescent probes for live-cell SMLM by exploiting the remarkable cytosolic delivery ability of a cell-penetrating peptide (rR)3R2. We develop photo-modulatable organic fluorescent probes consisting of a (rR)3R2 peptide coupled to a cell-impermeable organic fluorophore and a recognition unit. Our results indicate that these organic probes are not only cell permeable but can also specifically and directly label endogenous targeted proteins. Using the probes, we obtain super-resolution images of lysosomes and endogenous F-actin under physiological conditions. We resolve the dynamics of F-actin with 10 s temporal resolution in live cells and discern fine F-actin structures with diameters of ~80 nm. These results open up new avenues in the design of fluorescent probes for live-cell super-resolution imaging.

Fluorescent Metal Nanoshells: Lifetime-Tunable Molecular Probes in Fluorescent Cell Imaging.

Project description:We reported the preparation of lifetime-tunable fluorescent metal nanoshells and used them as lifetime imaging agents for potential detection of multiple target molecules by a single cell imaging scan. These metal nanoshells were generated to have 40 nm silica cores and 10 nm silver shells. Three kinds of metal-ligand complexes tris(5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) (Ru(NH(2)-Phen)(3) (2+)), tris(2,2'-bipyridine) ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)), and tris(2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine))ruthenium(II) (Ru(dpp)(3) (2+)) that have similar excitation and emission wavelengths but different lifetimes were respectively encapsulated in the cores of metal nanoshells for the purpose of fluorescence. Compared with the metal-free silica spheres, these metal nanoshells were found to display enhanced emission intensities and shortened lifetimes due to near-field interactions of Ru(II) complexes with the metal shells. The shortened lifetimes of these metal nanoshells were definitely unique relevant to the Ru(II) complexes: 10 ns for the Ru(Phen-NH(2))(3) (2+)-Ag nanoshells, 45 ns for the Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)-Ag nanoshells, and 200 ns for the Ru(dpp)(3) (2+)-Ag nanoshells. These lifetimes were longer than the lifetime of cellular autofluorescence (2 - 5 ns), so the emission signals of these metal nanoshells could be distinctly isolated from the cellular background on the lifetime cell images. Moreover, these lifetimes were also different from one another, resulting in the emission signals of three metal nanoshells could be distinguished from one another on the cell images. This feature may offer an opportunity to detect multiple target molecules in a single cell imaging scan when the metal nanoshells are bound with various targets in the cells.

Cell-Permeable Activity-Based Ubiquitin Probes Enable Intracellular Profiling of Human Deubiquitinases.

Project description:Advancement in our knowledge of deubiquitinases (DUBs) and their biological functions requires biochemical tools permitting interrogation of DUB activities under physiologically relevant conditions. Activity-based DUB probes (DUB ABPs) have been widely used in investigating the function and activity of DUBs. However, most ubiquitin (Ub)-based DUB ABPs are not cell-permeable, limiting their utility to purified proteins and cell lysates. Lysis of cells usually leads to dilution of the cytoplasm and disruption of the normal cellular organization, which may alter the activity of many DUBs and DUB complexes. Here, we report a new class of cell-permeable DUB ABPs that enable intracellular DUB profiling. We used a semisynthetic approach to generate modular ubiquitin-based DUB probes containing a reactive warhead for covalent trapping of DUBs with a catalytic cysteine. We employed cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), particualrly cyclic polyarginine (cR10), to deliver the DUB ABPs into cells, as confirmed using live-cell fluorescence microscopy and DUB ABPs containing a fluorophore at the C-terminus of Ub. In comparison to TAT, enhanced intacellular delivery was observed through conjugation of a cyclic polyarginine (cR10) to the N-terminus of ubiquitin via a disulfide linkage. Using the new cell-permeable DUB ABPs, we carried out DUB profiling in intact HeLa cells, and identified active DUBs using immunocapture and label-free quantitative mass spectrometry. Additionally, we demonstrated that the cell-permeable DUB ABPs can be used in assessing the inhibition of DUBs by small-molecule inhibitors in intact cells. Our results indicate that cell-permeable DUB ABPs hold great promise in providing a better understanding of the cellular functions of DUBs and advancing drug discovery efforts targeting human DUBs.

A novel fluorescent cell membrane-permeable caged cyclic ADP-ribose analogue.

Project description:Cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose is an endogenous Ca(2+) mobilizer involved in diverse cellular processes. A cell membrane-permeable cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose analogue, cyclic inosine diphosphoribose ether (cIDPRE), can induce Ca(2+) increase in intact human Jurkat T-lymphocytes. Here we synthesized a coumarin-caged analogue of cIDPRE (Co-i-cIDPRE), aiming to have a precisely temporal and spatial control of bioactive cIDPRE release inside the cell using UV uncaging. We showed that Co-i-cIDPRE accumulated inside Jurkat cells quickly and efficiently. Uncaging of Co-i-cIDPRE evoked Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum, with concomitant Ca(2+) influx in Jurkat cells. Ca(2+) release evoked by uncaged Co-i-cIDPRE was blocked by knockdown of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) 2 and 3 in Jurkat cells. The associated Ca(2+) influx, on the other hand, was abolished by double knockdown of Stim1 and TRPM2 in Jurkat cells. Furthermore, Ca(2+) release or influx evoked by uncaged Co-i-cIDPRE was recapitulated in HEK293 cells that overexpress RyRs or TRPM2, respectively, but not in wild-type cells lacking these channels. In summary, our results indicate that uncaging of Co-i-cIDPRE incites Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum via RyRs and triggers Ca(2+) influx via TRPM2.

New 1,2-Dihydropyridine-Based Fluorophores and Their Applications as Fluorescent Probes.

Project description:New 1,2-dihydropyridine (1,2-DHP)-based fluorophores 1a-1h were designed and synthesized by a one-pot four-component condensation reaction using dienaminodioate, aldehydes, and an in situ-generated hydrazone mediated by trifluoroacetic acid. The photophysical properties of 1,2-DHPs were studied in detail, and a few of them exhibited selective mitochondrial staining ability in HeLa cell lines (cervical cancer cells). A detailed photophysical investigation led to the design of 1,2-DHP 1h as an optimal fluorophore suitable for its potential application as a small molecule probe in the aqueous medium. Also, 1,2-DHP 1h exhibited sixfold enhanced emission intensity than its phosphorylated analogue 1h' in the long wavelength region (λem ≈ 600 nm), which makes 1,2-DHP 1h' meet the requirement as a bioprobe for protein tyrosine phosphatases, shown in L6 muscle cell lysate.
