Selective determination of mitochondrial chelatable iron in viable cells with a new fluorescent sensor.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial chelatable ("redox-active") iron is considered to contribute to several human diseases, but has not yet been characterized in viable cells. In order to determine this iron pool, we synthesized a new fluorescent indicator, rhodamine B-[(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-yl)aminocarbonyl]benzyl ester (RPA). In a cell-free system, RPA fluorescence was strongly and stoichiometrically quenched by Fe(2+). RPA selectively accumulated in the mitochondria of cultured rat hepatocytes. The intramitochondrial RPA fluorescence was quenched when iron was added to the cells in a membrane-permeant form. It increased when the mitochondrial chelatable iron available to the probe was experimentally decreased by the membrane-permeant transition metal chelators pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone and 1,10-phenanthroline. The concentration of mitochondrial chelatable iron in cultured rat hepatocytes, quantified from the increase in RPA fluorescence after addition of pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone, was found to be 12.2 +/- 4.9 microM. Inhibition of haem synthesis with succinylacetone did not alter the signal obtained in hepatocytes, but a rapid increase in the concentration of mitochondrial chelatable iron was observed in human erythroleukaemia K562 cells. In conclusion, RPA enables the selective determination of the highly physiologically and pathophysiologically interesting mitochondrial pool of chelatable iron in intact cells and to record the time course of alterations of this pool.

A new highly selective fluorescent K+ sensor.

Project description:We describe the synthesis, properties, and application of a new fluorescent potassium chemosensor, KS2, for K(+) sensing and imaging in live cells. By virtue of a strong electron-withdrawing group, 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF), with a triazacryptand ligand, the new sensor can respond to K(+) up to 1.6 M. This is the first highly selective intracellular sensor suitable for sensing K(+) over a broad and high concentration range. Confocal fluorescence microscopy has established the utility of KS2 for live-cell K(+) detection. The application of KS2 combined with other sensors will be of great benefit for investigating cellular metabolism, detecting and diagnosing diseases including cancer, and monitoring responses to therapy.

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 mitochondria-targeting fluorescent K(+) sensor.

Project description:Regulation of intracellular potassium (K(+) ) concentration plays a key role in metabolic processes. So far, only a few intracellular K(+) sensors have been developed. The highly selective fluorescent K(+) sensor KS6 for monitoring K(+) ion dynamics in mitochondria was produced by coupling triphenylphosphonium, borondipyrromethene (BODIPY), and triazacryptand (TAC). KS6 shows a good response to K(+) in the range 30-500 mM, a large dynamic range (Fmax /F0 ≈130), high brightness (ϕf =14.4 % at 150 mM of K(+) ), and insensitivity to both pH in the range 5.5-9.0 and other metal ions under physiological conditions. Colocalization tests of KS6 with MitoTracker Green confirmed its predominant localization in the mitochondria of HeLa and U87MG cells. K(+) efflux/influx in the mitochondria was observed upon stimulation with ionophores, nigericin, or ionomycin. KS6 is thus a highly selective semiquantitative K(+) sensor suitable for the study of mitochondrial potassium flux in live cells.

Highly selective fluorescent probe with an ideal pH profile for the rapid and unambiguous determination of subcellular labile iron (III) pools in human cells.

Project description:A convenient tool for detecting iron ions in subcellular structures is desired for better understanding its roles in biological systems. In this work, a new Fe3+ sensor, 2-(2-((1-(6-acetylpyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)amino)ethyl)-3',6'-bis(diethylamino)spiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one (RhPK), which operates across the entire cellular pH range and is capable of unambiguously detecting Fe3+ ion in live human cells at subcellular resolution, is reported. The sensor exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward Fe3+ with a rapid fluorescence response and a 12-fold increase in intensity upon the addition of 1 equivalent Fe3+ at pH 7.3. RhPK forms a 1:1 complex with Fe3+ with an apparent binding constant 1.54 × 107 M-1 and a detection limit of 50 nM. The sensor is stable between pH 4.2 and 9.0 and operates across the whole cellular pH range. Cell imaging demonstrates the ability of the sensor to unambiguously detect basal level Fe3+ as well as its dynamic changes in real-time in live cells at subcellular resolution, with one labile Fe3+ pool identified in mitochondria in human primary fibroblast (ws1) cells for the first time and two Fe3+ pools confirmed in mitochondria and endo/lysosomes in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, suggesting different cell types have distinctive Fe3+ storage in subcellular compartments. The RhPK probe is powerful for rapid and sensitive bioimaging of Fe3+ at subcellular level, enabling the unambiguous detection of labile Fe3+ pools at the entire cellular pH range, which is of great significance to understand the biological chemistry of Fe3+ and its roles in physiological processes and diseases.

Cerium(IV) and Iron(III) Oxides Nanoparticles Based Voltammetric Sensor for the Sensitive and Selective Determination of Lipoic Acid.

Project description:A novel voltammetric sensor based on CeO2·Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) has been developed for the determination of lipoic acid, playing an essential role in aerobic metabolism in the living organism. Sensor surface modification provides a 5.6-fold increase of the lipoic acid oxidation currents and a 20 mV anodic shift of the oxidation potential. The best voltammetric parameters have been obtained for the 0.5 mg mL-1 dispersion of CeO2·Fe2O3 NPs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirms the presence of spherical NPs of 25-60 nm, and their aggregates evenly distributed on the electrode surface and formed porous coverage. This leads to the 4.4-fold increase of the effective surface area vs. bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The sensor shows a significantly higher electron transfer rate. Electrooxidation of lipoic acid on CeO2·Fe2O3 NPs modified GCE is an irreversible diffusion-controlled pH-independent process occurring with the participation of two electrons. The sensor gives a linear response to lipoic acid in the ranges of 0.075-7.5 and 7.5-100 μM with the detection limit of 0.053 μM. The sensor is selective towards lipoic acid in the presence of inorganic ions, ascorbic acid, saccharides, and other S-containing compounds. The sensor developed has been tested on the pharmaceutical dosage forms of lipoic acid.

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 Sensitive Near-Infrared Fluorescent Sensor for Mitochondrial Hydrogen Sulfide.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important gasotransmitter. Although a large number of fluorescent probes for cellular H2S have been reported, only a few can detect H2S in mitochondria, a cellular organelle connecting H2S with mitochondrial function and metabolic pathways. We hereby describe a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe, nimazide, by introducing sulfonyl azide to the core structure of a QSY-21 dark quencher. Nimazide responded quickly to H2S, resulting in robust fluorescence turn-off changes. This conversion displayed high specificity and fast kinetics. More impressively, we observed a robust fluorescence decrease in live cells loaded with mitochondrial nimazide in response to extracellular addition of nanomolar H2S, and successfully imaged biologically generated mitochondrial H2S in live mammalian cells. Nimazide is one of the most sensitive fluorescent probes for mitochondrial H2S.

Visible Light Photoelectrochemical Sensor for Dopamine: Determination Using Iron Vanadate Modified Electrode.

Project description:This study reports a facile approach for constructing low-cost and remarkable electroactivity iron vanadate (Fe-V-O) semiconductor material to be used as a photoelectrochemical sensor for dopamine detection. The structure and morphology of the iron vanadate obtained by the Successive Ionic Adsorption and Reaction process were critically characterized, and the photoelectrochemical characterization showed a high photoelectroactivity of the photoanode in visible light irradiation. Under best conditions, dopamine was detected by chronoamperometry at +0.35 V vs. Ag/AgCl, achieving two linear response ranges (between 1.21 and 30.32 μmol L-1, and between 30.32 and 72.77 μmol L-1). The limits of detection and quantification were 0.34 and 1.12 μmol L-1, respectively. Besides, the accuracy of the proposed electrode was assessed by determining dopamine in artificial cerebrospinal fluid, obtaining recovery values ranging from 98.7 to 102.4%. The selectivity was also evaluated by dopamine detection against several interferent species, demonstrating good precision and promising application for the proposed method. Furthermore, DFT-based electronic structure calculations were also conducted to help the interpretation. The dominant dopamine species were determined according to the experimental conditions, and their interaction with the iron vanadate photoanode was proposed. The improved light-induced DOP detection was likewise evaluated regarding the charge transfer process.

Molecularly Imprinted Magnetic Fluorescent Nanocomposite-Based Sensor for Selective Detection of Lysozyme.

Project description:A new strategy for the design and construction of molecularly imprinted magnetic fluorescent nanocomposite-based-sensor is proposed. This multifunctional nanocomposite exhibits the necessary optics, magnetism and biocompatibility for use in the selective fluorescence detection of lysozyme. The magnetic fluorescent nanocomposites are prepared by combining carboxyl- functionalized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with l-cysteine-modified zinc sulfide quantum dots (MNP/QDs). Surface molecular imprinting technology was employed to coat the lysozyme molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer on the MNP/QDs to form a core-shell structure. The molecularly imprinted MNP/QDs (MNP/QD@MIPs) can rapidly separate the target protein and then use fluorescence sensing to detect the protein; this reduces the background interference, and the selectivity and sensitivity of the detection are improved. The molecularly imprinted MNP/QDs sensor presented good linearity over a lysozyme concentration range from 0.2 to 2.0 μM and a detection limit of 4.53 × 10-3 μM for lysozyme. The imprinting factor of the MNP/QD@MIPs was 4.12, and the selectivity coefficient ranged from 3.19 to 3.85. Furthermore, the MNP/QD@MIPs sensor was applied to detect of lysozyme in human urine and egg white samples with recoveries of 95.40-103.33%. Experimental results showed that the prepared MNP/QD@MIPs has potential for selective magnetic separation and fluorescence sensing of target proteins in biological samples.
