研究目的
To develop a turn-on two-photon fluorescent probe for detecting lysosomal hydroxyl radicals in living cells with high selectivity and sensitivity.
研究成果
The developed probe 1-Red is a sensitive and selective tool for detecting ?OH in lysosomes of living cells using two-photon microscopy. It enables real-time monitoring of ?OH generation, contributing to a better understanding of its role in biological processes such as oxidative stress and disease mechanisms.
研究不足
The probe is stable only under acidic conditions (pH=2.4), limiting its application to acidic organelles like lysosomes. Cytotoxicity was observed at concentrations above 0.1 μM, which may restrict use in certain cell types. The study was conducted in vitro on MEF cells, and further validation in vivo or in other cell models is needed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing and synthesizing a naphthalene-indoline-based fluorescent probe (1-Red) that targets lysosomes and becomes fluorescent upon oxidation by ?OH. Two-photon microscopy was used for imaging due to its advantages in biological applications.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells were used as the experimental model, cultured under standard conditions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Bruker Advance III Ascend 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, Thermo Fisher Orbitrap mass spectrometer, JASCO FT/IR-4100, Cary 100 Bio UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, JASCO FP-750 Spectrofluorometer, Leica SP5 MP confocal microscope with MaiTai Ti:Sapphire HP laser, and various chemicals and reagents (e.g., isobutyryl chloride, phenylhydrazine hydrochloride, sodium borohydride).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of compounds 2, 3, 1, and 1-Red through Friedel-Crafts, Fisher indole reactions, methylation, and reduction. Cell culture and incubation with probes, followed by two-photon microscopy imaging. Selectivity tests with various ROS and other species.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fluorescence intensity measurements, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and statistical analysis including Pearson correlation coefficient for colocalization studies.
