A Galactosidase-Activatable Fluorescent Probe for Detection of Bacteria Based on BODIPY.

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic E. coli infection is one of the most widespread foodborne diseases, so the development of sensitive, reliable and easy operating detection tests is a key issue for food safety. Identifying bacteria with a fluorescent medium is more sensitive and faster than using chromogenic media. This study designed and synthesized a β-galactosidase-activatable fluorescent probe BOD-Gal for the sensitive detection of E. coli. It employed a biocompatible and photostable 4,4-difluoro-3a,4a-diaza-s-indancene (BODIPY) as the fluorophore to form a β-O-glycosidic bond with galactose, allowing the BOD-Gal to show significant on-off fluorescent signals for in vitro and in vivo bacterial detection. This work shows the potential for the use of a BODIPY based enzyme substrate for pathogen detection.

A selective hybrid fluorescent sensor for fructose detection based on a phenylboronic acid and BODIPY-based hydrophobicity probe.

Project description:Fructose is widely used in the food industry. However, it may be involved in diseases by generating harmful advanced glycation end-products. We have designed and synthesized a novel fluorescent probe for fructose detection by combining a phenylboronic acid group with a BODIPY-based hydrophobicity probe. This probe showed a linear fluorescence response to d-fructose concentration in the range of 100-1000 μM, with a detection limit of 32 μM, which is advantageous for the simple and sensitive determination of fructose.

A BODIPY-Based Far-Red-Absorbing Fluorescent Probe for Hypochlorous Acid Imaging.

Project description:Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is produced by white blood cells to defend against injury and bacteria. However, as one of the reactive oxygen species, high intracellular HClO concentration could lead to chronic diseases that affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems. To monitor HClO concentrations in bio-samples, the fluorescent probe is preferred to have: a) absorbability in the far-red window with reduced light-toxicity and improved tissue penetration depth, b) ratiometric feature for accurate analysis. In this study, we reported a far-red ratiometric HClO fluorescence probe based on BODIPY chromophore and aldoxime sensing group. Not only the color change of the probe solution can be detected by naked eyes, but also the emission ratios (I645/I670) showed a significant increase upon the introduction of HClO. More importantly, the feasibility of HClO monitoring in bio-samples was demonstrated in vitro using a confocal microscope.

A novel near-infrared fluorescent probe for sensitive detection of β-galactosidase in living cells.

Project description:A novel near-infrared fluorescent probe for β-galactosidase has been developed based on a hemicyanine skeleton, which is conjugated with a d-galactose residue via a glycosidic bond. The probe serves as a substrate of β-galactosidase and displays rapid and sensitive turn-on fluorescent responses to β-galactosidase in aqueous solution. A 12.8-fold enhancement of fluorescence intensity at 703 nm was observed after incubation of 10 nM of β-galactosidase with 5 μM probe for 10 min. The probe can sensitively detect as little as 0.1 nM of β-galactosidase and shows linear responses to the enzyme concentration below 1.4 nM. The kinetic study showed that the probe has high binding affinity to β-galactosidase with Km = 3.6 μM. The probe was used to detect β-galactosidase in living cells by employing the premature cell senescence model. The probe exhibited strong fluorescent signals in senescent cells but not in normal cells, which demonstrates that the probe is able to detect the endogenous senescence-associated β-galactosidase in living cells.

An Activatable Lanthanide Luminescent Probe for Time-Gated Detection of Nitroreductase in Live Bacteria.

Project description:Herein we report the development of a turn-on lanthanide luminescent probe for time-gated detection of nitroreductases (NTRs) in live bacteria. The probe is activated through NTR-induced formation of the sensitizing carbostyril antenna and resulting energy transfer to the lanthanide center. This novel NTR-responsive trigger is virtually non-fluorescent in its inactivated form and features a large signal increase upon activation. We show that the probe is capable of selectively sensing NTR in lysates as well as in live bacteria of the ESKAPE family which are clinically highly relevant multiresistant pathogens responsible for the majority of hospital infections. The results suggest that our probe could be used to develop diagnostic tools for bacterial infections.

A sensitive BODIPY-based fluorescent probe for detecting endogenous hydroxyl radicals in living cells.

Project description:The hydroxyl radical (˙OH) has been suggested to play very vital roles in many physiological and pathological processes. However, selective detection of ˙OH is highly challenging owing to its extremely high reactivity and short lifetime. Herein, we designed and synthesized a sensitive "turn on" fluorescent probe for detecting endogenous ˙OH based on a BODIPY (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) platform. The probe had shown good properties including high sensitively, ideal selectively and low cytotoxicity, and was successfully employed to image endogenous hydroxyl radical in living cells.

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.

A dual-response BODIPY-based fluorescent probe for the discrimination of glutathione from cystein and homocystein.

Project description:In situ monitoring of intracellular thiol activity in cell growth and function is highly desirable. However, the discriminative detection of glutathione (GSH) from cysteine (Cys) and homocystein (Hcy) and from common amino acids still remains a challenge due to the similar reactivity of the thiol groups in these amino acids. Here we report a novel strategy for selectively sensing GSH by a dual-response mechanism. Integrating two independent reaction sites with a disulfide linker and a thioether function into a fluorescent BODIPY-based chemsensor can guarantee the synergetic dual-response in an elegant fashion to address the discrimination of GSH. In the first synergetic reaction process, the thiol group in GSH, Cys and Hcy induces disulfide cleavage and subsequent intramolecular cyclization to release the unmasked phenol-based BODIPY (discriminating thiol amino acids from other amino acids). In the second synergetic process, upon the substitution of the thioether with the nucleophilic thiolate to form a sulfenyl-BODIPY, only the amino groups of Cys and Hcy, but not that of GSH, undergo a further intramolecular displacement to yield an amino-substituted BODIPY. In this way, we make full use of the kinetically favorable cyclic transition state in the intramolecular rearrangement, and enable photophysical distinction between sulfenyl- and amino-substituted BODIPY for allowing the discriminative detection of GSH over Cys and Hcy and thiol-lacking amino acids under physiological conditions. Moreover, this probe exhibits a distinguishable ratiometric fluorescence pattern generated from the orange imaging channel to the red channel, which proves the differentiation of GSH from Cys and Hcy in living cells.

A novel method for rapid detection of a Helicobacter pylori infection using a γ-glutamyltranspeptidase-activatable fluorescent probe.

Project description:A γ-glutamyl hydroxymethyl rhodamine green probe (gGlu-HMRG) reacts with γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) and immediately produces fluorescence, is clinically applied for real-time cancers' visualization. Since Helicobacter pylori produces GGT, this study aimed to investigate whether gGlu-HMRG can be used to detect H. pylori infections. A wild-type H. pylori strain and the ggt gene-disrupted mutant were cultured and treated with gGlu-HMRG. This fluorescent probe assay was used to quantify GGT activity of H. pylori ex vivo using gastric biopsy specimens. The H. pylori diagnostic capabilities of the assay were determined from altered fluorescence intensity (FI) values at 5 min (FIV-5) and 15 minutes (FIV-15). Distinct fluorescence was identified in wild H. pylori strain, using gGlu-HMRG, whereas no fluorescence was observed in ggt gene-disrupted mutant strain. On ex vivo imaging of gGlu-HMRG, fluorescence intensity increased markedly with time in H. pylori-positive specimens; however, the H. pylori-negative specimens displayed a slight increase in FI. FIV-5 and FIV-15 differed significantly between H. pylori-positive and -negative specimens. FIV-15 differed significantly between H. pylori-positive and -eradicated group. This assay sensitivity and specificity were 75.0% and 83.3% in the antrum and 82.6% and 89.5% in the stomach body. GGT-activatable fluorescence probe is applicable for rapid diagnosis of H. pylori.

Rapid fluorescence imaging of human hepatocellular carcinoma using the β-galactosidase-activatable fluorescence probe SPiDER-βGal.

Project description:Fluorescence imaging of tumours facilitates rapid intraoperative diagnosis. Thus far, a promising activatable fluorescence probe for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been developed. Herein, the utility of the fluorescence imaging of HCC using a β-galactosidase (β-Gal)-activatable fluorescence probe SPiDER-βGal was examined. β-Gal activity was measured in cryopreserved tissues from 68 patients. Live cell imaging of HCC cell lines and imaging of tumour-bearing model mice were performed using SPiDER-βGal. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging was performed in 27 freshly resected human HCC specimens. In cryopreserved samples, β-Gal activity was significantly higher in tumour tissues than in non-tumour tissues. Fluorescence was observed in HCC cell lines. In mouse models, tumours displayed stronger fluorescence than normal liver tissue. In freshly resected specimens, fluorescence intensity in the tumour was significantly higher than that in non-tumour liver specimens as early as 2 min after spraying. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to determine the diagnostic value of SPiDER-βGal 10 min after its spraying; an area under the curve of 0.864, sensitivity of 85.2%, and specificity of 74.1% were observed for SPiDER-βGal. SPiDER-βGal is useful for the rapid fluorescence imaging of HCC. Fluorescence imaging guided by SPiDER-βGal would help surgeons detect tumours rapidly and achieve complete liver resection.
