Imaging Acetaldehyde Formation During Ethanol Metabolism in Living Cells using a Hydrazinyl Naphthalimide Fluorescent Probe.

ABSTRACT: The metabolism of ethanol to acetaldehyde has been visualized in living lung epithelial cells using a hydrazinyl naphthalimide fluorescent probe. Utilizing a condensation reaction between carbonyls and a hydrazine moeity, we demonstrate that the fluorescent probe (Aldehydefluor-1) AF1 reacts with a range of reactive carbonyl species including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glyoxylic acid, and methyl glyoxal. With AF1, it is possible to directly visualize endogenous carbonyl metabolites. Here, we have applied it towards the visualization of acetaldehyde generated from alcohol dehydrogenase mediated ethanol metabolism, validating it as a useful tool to study the roles of alcohol in respiratory disease and other pathological mechanisms.

A Naphthalimide-Based Fluorescent Probe for the Detection and Imaging of Mercury Ions in Living Cells.

Project description:The selective and efficient monitoring of mercury (Hg2+ ) contamination found in the environment and ecosystem has been carried out. Thus, a new 1,8-naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe NADP for the detection of Hg2+ based on a fluorescence enhancement strategy has been designed and synthesized. The NADP probe can detect Hg2+ with high selectivity and sensitivity and a low detection limit of 13 nm. The detection mechanism was based on a Hg2+ -triggered deprotection reaction, resulting in a dramatic change in fluorescence from colorless to green at physiological pH. Most importantly, biological investigation has shown that the NADP probe can be successfully applied to the monitoring of Hg2+ in living cells and zebrafish with low cytotoxicity.

Novel Mitochondria-Targeting and Naphthalimide-based Fluorescent Probe for Detecting HClO in Living Cells.

Project description:As a key reactive oxygen species (ROS), hypochlorous acid (HClO) plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. The mitochondria-targeting probes for the highly sensitive detection of HClO are desirable. In present work, we designed and synthesized an original mitochondria-localizing and turn-on fluorescent probe for detecting HClO. 4-Aminonaphthalimide was employed as the fluorescent section, the (2-aminoethyl)-thiourea unit was utilized as a typical sensing unit, and the quaternized pyridinium moiety was used as a mitochondria-targeted localization group. When HClO was absent, the probe showed weak fluorescence. In the existence of HClO, the probe revealed a blue fluorescence. Moreover, the turn-on fluorescent probe was able to function in a broad pH scope. There was an excellent linearity between the fluorescence emission intensity at 488 nm and the concentrations of HClO in the range of 5.0 × 10-7 to 2.5 × 10-6 mol·L-1. Additionally, the probe had almost no cell toxicity and possessed an excellent mitochondria-localizing capability. Furthermore, the probe was able to image HClO in mitochondria of living PC-12 cells. The above remarkable properties illustrated that the probe was able to determine HClO in mitochondria of living cells.

Visualization of methylglyoxal in living cells and diabetic mice model with a 1,8-naphthalimide-based two-photon fluorescent probe.

Project description:Methylglyoxal (MGO), a dicarbonyl metabolite, is the most studied precursor of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and its elevated levels have also been associated with various pathologies. Hence, the development of effective methods for monitoring MGO in live cells and in vivo is of great importance for ascertaining the onset and progress of related diseases. Herein, we designed and synthesized an endoplasmic reticulum-targeting two-photon fluorescent probe called NI-OPD for the detection of MGO with high selectivity, sensitivity, and hypotoxicity. The probe was successfully applied for monitoring MGO in living cells and a diabetic mice model. The two-photon fluorescence images confirmed that the endogenous MGO in the liver and kidney tissues of diabetic mice is higher than that of normal mice. Furthermore, it revealed that after treatment with metformin, a widely used hypoglycemia drug, the diabetic mice showed a decreased concentration of MGO in liver and kidney tissues. Thus, NI-OPD may serve as a useful tool for the detection of MGO and for studying the relationships between MGO and pathological and biological processes in biosystems.

A novel dual-capability naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe for Fe<sup>3+</sup> ion detection and lysosomal tracking in living cells.

Project description:We design and synthesize a novel 1,8-naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe MNP that features the dual capabilities of tracking lysosomes in living HeLa cells and sensitively detecting Fe3+ ions in aqueous solution. The MNP is obtained by modifying the morpholine group with a lysosomal targeting function and the piperazine group with an Fe3+ ion recognition function on the 1,8-naphthalimide matrix. In the presence of Fe3+ ions, the MNP acts as a recognition ligand to coordinate with the central Fe3+ ion, and the protonated [MNPH]+ is eventually generated, in which significant fluorescence enhancements are observed due to the intramolecular photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process being blocked. The limit of detection of Fe3+ ions is as low as 65.2 nM. A cell imaging experiment shows that the MNP has low cytotoxicity and excellent lysosomal targeting ability. Therefore, the MNP offers a promising tool for lysosomal tracking and relevant life process research.

A genetically encoded fluorescent probe for imaging of oxygenation gradients in living Drosophila.

Project description:Oxygen concentrations vary between tissues of multicellular organisms and change under certain physiological or pathological conditions. Multiple methods have been developed for measuring oxygenation of biological samples in vitro and in vivo However, most require complex equipment, are laborious and have significant limitations. Here we report that oxygen concentration determines the choice between two maturation pathways of DsRed FT (Timer). At high oxygen levels, this DsRed derivate matures predominantly into a red fluorescent isoform. By contrast, a green fluorescent isoform is favored by low oxygen levels. Ratiometric analysis of green and red fluorescence after a pulse of Timer expression in Drosophila larvae provides a record of the history of tissue oxygenation during a subsequent chase period, for the whole animal with single-cell precision. Tissue spreads revealed fine differences in oxygen exposure among different cells of the same organ. We expect that the simplicity and robustness of our approach will greatly impact hypoxia research, especially in small animal models.

A fast-responsive fluorescent turn-on probe for nitroreductase imaging in living cells.

Project description:Nitroreductase (NTR) may be more active under the environment of hypoxic conditions, which are the distinctive features of the multiphase solid tumor. It is of great significance to effectively detect and monitor NTR in the living cells for the diagnosis of hypoxia in a tumor. Here, we synthesized a novel turn-on fluorescent probe NTR-NO2 based on a fused four-ring quinoxaline skeleton for NTR detection. The highly efficient probe can be easily synthesized. The probe NTR-NO2 showed satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity to NTR. Upon incubation with NTR, NTR-NO2 could successively undergo a nitro reduction reaction and then generate NTR-NH2 along with significant fluorescence enhancement (30 folds). Moreover, the fluorescent dye NTR-NH2 exhibits a large Stokes shift (Δλ = 111 nm) due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process. As a result, NTR-NO2 displayed a wide linear range (0-4.5 μg mL-1) and low detection limit (LOD = 58 ng mL-1) after responding to NTR. In addition, this probe was adopted for the detection of endogenous NTR within hypoxic HeLa cells.
