A Red Emissive Fluorescent Turn-on Sensor for the Rapid Detection of Selenocysteine and Its Application in Living Cells Imaging.

ABSTRACT: The content of selenocysteine in cells has an important effect on a variety of human diseases, and the detection of selenocysteine by fluorescent sensors in vivo has shown many advantages. In order to further develop fast-reaction-time, good-selectivity, and high-sensitivity long-wavelength selenocysteine fluorescent sensors, we designed and synthesized the compound YZ-A4 as a turn-on fluorescent sensor to detect the content of selenocysteine. The quantitative detection range of the sensor YZ-A4 to selenocysteine was from 0 to 32 ?M, and the detection limit was as low as 11.2 nM. The sensor displayed a rapid turn-on response, good selectivity, and high sensitivity to selenocysteine. Finally, we have demonstrated that YZ-A4 could be used for fluorescence imaging of selenocysteine in living 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 highly selective turn-on colorimetric, red fluorescent sensor for detecting mobile zinc in living cells.

Project description:We describe ZRL1, a turn-on colorimetric and red fluorescent zinc ion sensor. The Zn(2+)-promoted ring opening of the rhodamine spirolactam ring in ZRL1 evokes a 220-fold fluorescence turn-on response. In aqueous media, ZRL1 turn-on luminescence is highly selective for Zn(2+) ions, with no significant response to other competitive cations, including Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Cd(2+), or Hg(2+). In addition to these characteristics, preliminary results indicate that ZRL1 can be delivered to living cells and can be used to monitor changes in intracellular Zn(2+) levels.

A turn-on fluorescent sensor for detecting nickel in living cells.

Project description:We present the synthesis and properties of Nickelsensor-1 (NS1), a new water-soluble, turn-on fluorescent sensor that is capable of selectively responding to Ni(2+) in aqueous solution and in living cells. NS1 combines a BODIPY chromophore and a mixed N/O/S receptor to provide good selectivity for Ni(2+) over a range of biologically abundant metal ions in aqueous solution. In addition to these characteristics, confocal microscopy experiments further show that NS1 can be delivered into living cells and report changes in intracellular Ni(2+) levels in a respiratory cell model.

Time-lapse imaging of cell death in cell culture and whole living organisms using turn-on deep-red fluorescent probes.

Project description:Cell death is a central process in developmental biology and also an important indicator of disease status and treatment efficacy. Two related fluorescent probes are described that are molecular conjugates of one or two zinc dipicolylamine (ZnDPA) coordination complexes with an appended solvatochromic benzothiazolium squaraine dye. The probes were designed to target the anionic phospholipid, phosphatidylserine (PS), that is exposed on the surface of dead and dying cells. A series of spectrometric and microscopy studies using liposomes and red blood cell ghosts as models showed that the probe with two ZnDPA targeting units produced higher affinity, stronger fluorescence "turn-on" effect, and better image contrast than the probe with one ZnDPA. Both fluorescent probes enabled "no-wash" time-lapse microscopic imaging of mammalian cell death within a culture. The probe with two ZnDPA units was used for non-invasive time-lapse imaging of cell death during the development of Xenopus laevis (frog) embryos. In vivo fluorescence micrographs revealed probe accumulation within the embryo tail, head and spine regions that were undergoing regression and apoptosis during growth and maturation. These new fluorescent probes are likely to be useful for time-resolved, non-invasive in vivo imaging of cell death process in range of living organisms. From a broader perspective, it should be possible to utilize the negative solvatochromism exhibited by benzothiazolium squaraine dyes for development of various "turn-on" deep-red fluorescent probes and materials that target cell surface biomarkers for in vitro and in vivo imaging.

A red-emissive antibody-AIEgen conjugate for turn-on and wash-free imaging of specific cancer cells.

Project description:An antibody-AIEgen conjugate is designed and developed as a "turn-on" fluorescent probe for wash-free specific cancer cell imaging. The cetuximab-conjugated AIEgen shows red fluorescence only when it is internalized and accumulated in cancer cells with overexpressed epidermal growth factor receptor through endocytosis. The probe first lights up the lysosomes. After hydrolysis, its residue is accumulated in mitochondria, making them highly emissive with a long cell retention time. Compared with conventional "always-on" fluorescent probes, the antibody-AIEgen conjugate exhibits a very good image contrast during wash-free cancer cell imaging and less interference from normal cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time "turn-on" antibody-AIEgen conjugates have been reported. This new strategy can be further extended to many proteins and water-soluble AIEgens, and many of their potential applications such as real-time tracking of cell dynamics and cancer theranostics will be explored. The present work is expected to inspire more marvellous research in the fields of AIE and cancer imaging.

Far-red fluorescent tags for protein imaging in living tissues.

Project description:A vast colour palette of monomeric fluorescent proteins has been developed to investigate protein localization, motility and interactions. However, low brightness has remained a problem in far-red variants, which hampers multicolour labelling and whole-body imaging techniques. In the present paper, we report mKate2, a monomeric far-red fluorescent protein that is almost 3-fold brighter than the previously reported mKate and is 10-fold brighter than mPlum. The high-brightness, far-red emission spectrum, excellent pH resistance and photostability, coupled with low toxicity demonstrated in transgenic Xenopus laevis embryos, make mKate2 a superior fluorescent tag for imaging in living tissues. We also report tdKatushka2, a tandem far-red tag that performs well in fusions, provides 4-fold brighter near-IR fluorescence compared with mRaspberry or mCherry, and is 20-fold brighter than mPlum. Together, monomeric mKate2 and pseudo-monomeric tdKatushka2 represent the next generation of extra-bright far-red fluorescent probes offering novel possibilities for fluorescent imaging of proteins in living cells and animals.

A single point mutation converts a proton-pumping rhodopsin into a red-shifted, turn-on fluorescent sensor for chloride.

Project description:The visualization of chloride in living cells with fluorescent sensors is linked to our ability to design hosts that can overcome the energetic penalty of desolvation to bind chloride in water. Fluorescent proteins can be used as biological supramolecular hosts to address this fundamental challenge. Here, we showcase the power of protein engineering to convert the fluorescent proton-pumping rhodopsin GR from Gloeobacter violaceus into GR1, a red-shifted, turn-on fluorescent sensor for chloride in detergent micelles and in live Escherichia coli. This non-natural function was unlocked by mutating D121, which serves as the counterion to the protonated retinylidene Schiff base chromophore. Substitution from aspartate to valine at this position (D121V) creates a binding site for chloride. The binding of chloride tunes the pK a of the chromophore towards the protonated, fluorescent state to generate a pH-dependent response. Moreover, ion pumping assays combined with bulk fluorescence and single-cell fluorescence microscopy experiments with E. coli, expressing a GR1 fusion with a cyan fluorescent protein, show that GR1 does not pump ions nor sense membrane potential but instead provides a reversible, ratiometric readout of changes in extracellular chloride at the membrane. This discovery sets the stage to use natural and laboratory-guided evolution to build a family of rhodopsin-based fluorescent chloride sensors with improved properties for cellular applications and learn how proteins can evolve and adapt to bind anions in water.

Molecular imaging of labile iron(II) pools in living cells with a turn-on fluorescent probe.

Project description:Iron is an essential metal for living organisms, but misregulation of its homeostasis at the cellular level can trigger detrimental oxidative and/or nitrosative stress and damage events. Motivated to help study the physiological and pathological consequences of biological iron regulation, we now report a reaction-based strategy for monitoring labile Fe(2+) pools in aqueous solution and living cells. Iron Probe 1 (IP1) exploits a bioinspired, iron-mediated oxidative C-O bond cleavage reaction to achieve a selective turn-on response to Fe(2+) over a range of cellular metal ions in their bioavailable forms. We show that this first-generation chemical tool for fluorescence Fe(2+) detection can visualize changes in exchangeable iron stores in living cells upon iron supplementation or depletion, including labile iron pools at endogenous, basal levels. Moreover, IP1 can be used to identify reversible expansion of labile iron pools by stimulation with vitamin C or the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin, providing a starting point for further investigations of iron signaling and stress events in living systems as well as future probe development.

A Simple Turn-off Schiff Base Fluorescent Sensor for Copper (II) Ion and Its Application in Water Analysis.

Project description:An aniline-functionalized naphthalene dialdehyde Schiff base fluorescent probe L with aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) characteristics was synthesized via a simple one-step condensation reaction and exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity towards copper(II) ions in aqueous media with a fluorescence " turn-off " phenomenon. The detection limit of the probe is 1.64 × 10-8 mol·L-1. Furthermore, according to the results of the UV-vis/fluorescence titrations, Job's plot method and 1H-NMR titrations, a 1:2 stoichiometry was identified. The binding constant between L and Cu2+ was calculated to be Ka = 1.222 × 103. In addition, the AIEE fluorescent probe L could be applied to detection in real water samples with satisfactory recoveries in the range 99.10-102.90% in lake water and 98.49-102.37% in tap water.
