NitroxylFluor: A Thiol-Based Fluorescent Probe for Live-Cell Imaging of Nitroxyl.

ABSTRACT: Detection of nitroxyl (HNO), the transient one-electron reduced form of nitric oxide, is a significant challenge owing to its high reactivity with biological thiols (with rate constants as high as 109?M-1 s-1). To address this, we report a new thiol-based HNO-responsive trigger that can compete against reactive thiols for HNO. This process forms a common N-hydroxysulfenamide intermediate that cyclizes to release a masked fluorophore leading to fluorescence enhancement. To ensure that the cyclization step is rapid, our design capitalizes on two established physical organic phenomena; the alpha-effect and the Thorpe-Ingold effect. Using this new trigger, we developed NitroxylFluor, a selective HNO-responsive fluorescent probe. Treatment of NitroxylFluor with an HNO donor results in a 16-fold turn-on. This probe also exhibits excellent selectivity over various reactive nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur species and efficacy in the presence of thiols (e.g., glutathione in mM concentrations). Lastly, we successfully performed live cell imaging of HNO using NitroxylFluor.

Simple Coumarin-Based Fluorescent Probe for Recognition of Pd(II) and Its Live Cell Imaging.

Project description:A simple coumarin hydrazine Schiff base bearing a thioether recognition fragment (compound CBBS) has been rationally designed and easily prepared. CBBS exhibited an excellent selectivity for Pd(II) and a low detection limit of 65 nM (S/N = 3). The fluorescence emission intensities of CBBS at 495 nm were linear to Pd(II) concentrations in a wide range from 0 to 80 μM. Moreover, CBBS has been well used in fluorescence imaging of Pd(II) in living A549 cells. CBBS as a simple coordination-based fluorescent probe will inspire the researchers to develop a polymer for selective detection and adsorption of Pd(II).

A Novel BODIPY Quaternary Ammonium Salt-Based Fluorescent Probe: Synthesis, Physical Properties, and Live-Cell Imaging.

Project description:The development of biological fluorescent probes is of great significance to the field of cancer bio-imaging. However, most current probes within the bulky hydrophobic group have limited application in aqueous medium and restricted imaging under physiological conditions. Herein, we proposed two efficient molecules to study their physical properties and imaging work, and the absorption and fluorescence intensity were collected with varying ions attending in aqueous medium. We enhance the water solubility through the quaternization reaction and form a balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobicity with dipyrrome-theneboron difluoride (BODIPY) fluorophore. We introduced pyridine and dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) by quaternization and connected the BODIPY fluorophore by ethylenediamine. The final synthesized probes have achieved ideal affinity with HeLa cells (human cervical carcinoma cell line) in live-cell imaging which could be observed by Confocal Microscope. The probes also have a good affinity with subcutaneous tumor cells in mice in in vivo imaging, which may make them candidates as oncology imaging probes.

Quantitative imaging of glutathione in live cells using a reversible reaction-based ratiometric fluorescent probe.

Project description:Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in maintaining redox homeostasis inside cells. Currently, there are no methods available to quantitatively assess the GSH concentration in live cells. Live cell fluorescence imaging revolutionized the field of cell biology and has become an indispensable tool in current biological studies. In order to minimize the disturbance to the biological system in live cell imaging, the probe concentration needs to be significantly lower than the analyte concentration. Because of this, any irreversible reaction-based GSH probe can only provide qualitative results within a short reaction time and will exhibit maximum response regardless of the GSH concentration if the reaction is completed. A reversible reaction-based probe with an appropriate equilibrium constant allows measurement of an analyte at much higher concentrations and, thus, is a prerequisite for GSH quantification inside cells. In this contribution, we report the first fluorescent probe-ThiolQuant Green (TQ Green)-for quantitative imaging of GSH in live cells. Due to the reversible nature of the reaction between the probe and GSH, we are able to quantify mM concentrations of GSH with TQ Green concentrations as low as 20 nM. Furthermore, the GSH concentrations measured using TQ Green in 3T3-L1, HeLa, HepG2, PANC-1, and PANC-28 cells are reproducible and well correlated with the values obtained from cell lysates. TQ Green imaging can also resolve the changes in GSH concentration in PANC-1 cells upon diethylmaleate (DEM) treatment. In addition, TQ Green can be conveniently applied in fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to measure GSH level changes. Through this study, we not only demonstrate the importance of reaction reversibility in designing quantitative reaction-based fluorescent probes but also provide a practical tool to facilitate redox biology studies.

In Vitro and in Vivo Imaging of Nitroxyl with Copper Fluorescent Probe in Living Cells and Zebrafish.

Project description:Nitroxyl (HNO) plays a critical role in many physiological processes which includes vasorelaxation in heart failure, neuroregulation, and myocardial contractility. Powerful imaging tools are required to obtain information for understanding the mechanisms involved in these in vivo processes. In order to develop a rapid and high sensitive probe for HNO detection in living cells and the zebrafish model organism, 2-((2-(benzothiazole-2yl)benzylidene) amino)benzoic acid (AbTCA) as a ligand, and its corresponding copper(II) complex Cu(II)-AbTCA were synthesized. The reaction results of Cu(II)-AbTCA with Angeli's salt showed that Cu(II)-AbTCA could detect HNO quantitatively in a range of 40⁻360 µM with a detection limit of 9.05 µM. Furthermore, Cu(II)-AbTCA is more selective towards HNO over other biological species including thiols, reactive nitrogen, and reactive oxygen species. Importantly, Cu(II)-AbTCA was successfully applied to detect HNO in living cells and zebrafish. The collective data reveals that Cu(II)-AbTCA could be used as a potential probe for HNO detection in living systems.

Thiol-specific fluorogenic agent for live cell non-protein thiol imaging in lysosomes.

Project description:Thiol molecules play a significant role in cellular structures and functions. These molecules are distributed in cells unevenly at the subcellular level. Disturbance of cellular thiols has been associated with various diseases and disorders. Probes that are able to detect subcellular thiol density in live cells are valuable tools in determining thiols' roles at the subcellular level. Lysosomes are a subcellular organelle involved in the degradation of macromolecules through the action of proteolytic enzymes. The degradation not only serves as a way to dispose of unwanted macromolecules but also a way to regulate a variety of cellular functions such as autophagy, endocytosis, and phagocytosis to maintain cell homeostasis. A probe that can detect lysosomal thiols in live cells will be useful in unveiling the roles of thiols in lysosomes. Currently, limited probes are available to detect lysosomal thiols in live cells. We would like to report 4,4'-{[7,7'-thiobis(benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole-4,4'-sulfonyl)]bis(oxy))bis(naphthalene-2,7-disulfonicacid) (TBONES) as a thiol-specific fluorogenic agent for lysosomal thiol imaging in live cells through fluorescence microscopy. TBONES exhibits no fluorescence and readily reacts with non-protein thiols to form fluorescent thiol adducts with ?ex?=?400 nm and ?em?=?540 nm. No reaction was observed when TBONES was mixed with compounds containing nucleophilic functional groups other than thiols such as -OH, -NH2, and -COOH. No reaction was observed either when TBONES was mixed with protein thiols. When incubated with cells, TBONES selectively and effectively imaged lysosomal thiols in live cells. Imaging of lysosomal thiols was confirmed by a co-localization experiment with LysoTracker™ Blue DND-22.

A Novel "Off-On" Fluorescent Probe Based on Carbon Nitride Nanoribbons for the Detection of Citrate Anion and Live Cell Imaging.

Project description:A novel fluorescent "off-on" probe based on carbon nitride (C?N?) nanoribbons was developed for citrate anion (C?H?O?3-) detection. The fluorescence of C?N? nanoribbons can be quenched by Cu2+ and then recovered by the addition of C?H?O?3-, because the chelation between C?H?O?3- and Cu2+ blocks the electron transfer between Cu2+ and C?N? nanoribbons. The turn-on fluorescent sensor using this fluorescent "off-on" probe can detect C?H?O?3- rapidly and selectively, showing a wide detection linear range (1~400 ?M) and a low detection limit (0.78 ?M) in aqueous solutions. Importantly, this C?N? nanoribbon-based "off-on" probe exhibits good biocompatibility and can be used as fluorescent visualizer for exogenous C?H?O?3- in HeLa cells.

A rationally designed rhodamine-based fluorescent probe for molecular imaging of peroxynitrite in live cells and tissues.

Project description:Herein, we present the rational design, synthesis, characterization, and biological applications of a new rhodamine-based fluorescent probe, HKYellow, for the detection and molecular imaging of peroxynitrite, an important highly reactive oxidant involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. HKYellow was rationally designed on the basis of the efficient fluorescence quenching effect of the N-phenyl group to the rhodamine core and a peroxynitrite-triggered N-dearylation reaction to achieve a sensitive and selective fluorescence turn-on response toward peroxynitrite in chemical and biological levels. This probe has been thoroughly evaluated for the robust imaging of peroxynitrite in live cells and tissues. By utilizing HKYellow, we provide the first visual evidence that peroxynitrite is generated in mouse liver tissues under an acute alcohol binge or ischemic-reperfusion condition. This probe should be a powerful molecular imaging tool for interrogating the complex biological roles of peroxynitrite under various biological settings.

Highly Selective Fluorescent Probe for the Detection of Copper (II) and Its Application in Live Cell Imaging.

Project description:The development of fluorescent methods for the detection of metal ions is of great importance due to their diverse environmental and biological roles. Herein, a rhodamine 6G-based off-on fluorescent probe (L1) with a t-butyl pyrrole moiety as the recognition site was designed and synthesized. Photophysical studies show that L1 exhibits excellent sensitivity and selectivity towards Cu2+ to other metal ions in neutral acetonitrile aqueous media. Mechanism studies suggest that the recognition process may associate with a Cu2+ promoted hydrolysis reaction of L1. Furthermore, L1 has been successfully applied in fluorescence imaging of Cu2+ ion in living cells.
