Discovery of Turn-On Fluorescent Probes for Detecting Bcl-2 Protein
摘要： Bcl-2 (B cell lymphoma-2 gene) family proteins play a central role in regulating programmed cell death. In cancer, anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, such as Bcl-2 and Mcl-1, are overexpressed. However, there are few developed labeling techniques for tracing the dynamic processes of Bcl-2. To study the physiological process of Bcl-2 protein, a novel series of small molecule fluorescent probes (1-3) were designed and evaluated for their labeling properties. It’s interesting that our probes can be applied to identify tumor tissue slices and differentiate the tumor and normal tissues effectively, a feature that renders these probes compatible for future cancer diagnosis in clinical practice.

Visualizing Nitric Oxide in Mitochondria and Lysosomes of Living Cells with N-Nitrosation of BODIPY-based Fluorescent Probes
摘要： Nitric oxide (NO), a ubiquitous gasotransmitter which plays critical roles in cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems related diseases, is closely related in the physiological and pathological processes of mitochondria and lysosomes. Thus, monitoring NO in mitochondria or lysosomes is very meaningful for NO related chemical biology. Herein, we rationally designed four NO probes, BDP-NO, Mito-NO-T, Mito-NO and Lyso-NO, based on BODIPY dye substituted at meso position with 5-amino-2-methoxy-phenyl scaffold. These four probes all showed fast fluorescence off-on response toward NO with excellent selectivity and high sensitivity with the detection limit of BDP-NO to reach 5.7 nM. We introduced triphenylphosphonium and morpholine moieties onto BODIPY scaffold respectively to enable organelle-targetability. MTT and flow cytometry assay demonstrated that the probes exhibited low cytotoxicity, which was beneficial to the biological application in living cells. Confocal fluorescence microscopy experiments confirmed excellent mitochondria targeting for Mito-NO and lysosome-targeting with Lyso-NO for the detection of NO in living cells.

Fluorescent pH Probes based on PET Quenching of Long Fluorescence Lifetime Triangulenium Dyes Martin Rosenberg, Anne Kathrine R. Junker, Thomas Just S?rensen, and Bo W. Laursen*[a]
摘要： Azaoxatriangulenium dyes with long fluorescence lifetimes offer advantages in fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), time-gated detection and polarization assays. However, the long excited state lifetimes are also expected to increase sensitivity to photoinduced electron transfer (PET) quenching, potentially increasing the on-off ratio of PET probes. We report the synthesis and investigation of the optical properties of azaoxatriangulenium salts substituted with phenol substituents for pH sensing. Two series of pH probes with the phenol hydroxy group placed in the ortho, meta, or para positions to azadioxatriangulenium (ADOTA) and diazaoxatriangulenium (DAOTA) chromophores are investigated. All the phenol substituted dyes possess pH responsive fluorescence signals in the biological relevant pH window (pH 6-9) due to efficient intramolecular PET from the phenolate form of the pendant arm. While the PET mechanism is partly suppressed in the phenol form the ADOTA derivatives, it is completely suppressed in the DAOTA derivatives. The long excited state lifetimes of the triangulenium dyes ensure efficient PET quenching leading to very high on-off ratios of the pH probes. The study clearly demonstrates effects of the position of the phenol/phenolate group relative to the chromophore on both PET quenching rates and pKa values.

Synthesis, Structure, and Fluorescence Behavior of Profluorescent 8-amino BODIPY Nitroxides
摘要： A series of novel 8-amino BODIPY profluorescent nitroxides and the corresponding N-ethoxyamine derivatives were synthesized with varying substitution and molecular geometries. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data for the three 8-amino BODIPY nitroxides were obtained. UV-Vis absorption and emission data for the profluorescent nitroxides and 8-amino BODIPY N-ethoxyamine derivatives were examined to assess the utility of these compounds as fluorescent probes.

A turn-on two-photon fluorescent probe for detecting lysosomal hydroxyl radicals in living cells
摘要： The detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biological systems and its imaging is of great importance. Among them, the hydroxyl radical (?OH) stands out as one of the most reactive, playing an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. Here we report a two-photon (TP) turn-on fluorescent probe with good selectivity and sensitivity towards ?OH. The molecular design of this naphthalene-indoline compound enables it to accurately target lysosomes in its non-fluorescent (“off”) state, where interaction with ?OH gives rise to the fluorescent (“on”) state and allows for the imaging of ?OH generation in living mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. The present study provides an approach for improving our understanding of the role of ?OH in biological processes.

A promising family of fluorescent water-soluble aza-BODIPY dyes for in vivo molecular imaging
摘要： A new family of water-soluble and bioconjugatable aza-BODIPY fluorophores was designed and synthesized using a boron-functionalization strategy. These dissymmetric bis-ammonium aza-BODIPY dyes present optimal properties for a fluorescent probe, i.e. they are highly water-soluble, very stable in physiological medium, they do not aggregate in PBS, possess high quantum yield and finally they can be easily bioconjugated to antibodies. Preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies were performed for one of these fluorophores to image PD-L1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1), highlighting the high potential of these new probes for future in vivo optical imaging studies.

Fluorescent Calixarene Scaffolds for NO Detection in Protic Media
摘要： Here, we present the first fluorescent water-soluble conjugated calixarene scaffolds that are capable of detection of NO gas. Two different scaffolds, one based on a 5,5’-Bicalixarene structure and its isomer bearing two distantly conjugated calixarene moieties, have been synthesized. While the fluorescence of both isomers is quenched upon either passing of NO gas or generating it in-situ from diethylamine NONOate, the bicalixarene-based scaffold showed a significantly stronger response. We also present an example of a dye encapsulation strategy to achieve the detection of NO at longer wavelengths than in the parent calixarene host. Finally, a conjugated polymer bearing 5,5’-Bicalixarene scaffold has also been prepared and demonstrated enhanced sensitivity compared with the monomer due to the molecular wire effect.

State-of-the-art: functional fluorescent probes for bioimaging and pharmacological research
摘要： Cardiovascular diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders, and cancers seriously endanger human health. Mechanistic and pharmacological mechanisms of candidate drugs are central to the translational paradigm. Since many signal transduction and molecular events are implicated in these diseases, a novel method to interrogate the key pharmacological mechanisms is required to accelerate innovative drug discovery. Much attention now focuses on the real-time visualization of molecular disease events to yield new insights to the pathogenesis of the diseases. This review focuses on recent advances in the development of chemical probes for imaging pathological events to facilitate the study of the underlying pharmacodynamics and toxicity involved. As reviewed here, optical imaging is now frequently viewed as an indispensable technique in the field of biological research. Promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among chemistry, biology and medicine, is necessary to further refine functional fluorescent probes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Specialty probes give super-res imaging that special blink
摘要： Fluorescent probes light the way to cellular detail, but light can also get in the way. Because of the diffraction limit, structures closer to one another than 200 nanometers (nm) or so cannot be discerned. Unless you use probes with super-resolution imaging. These techniques, such as reversible saturable optical linear fluorescence transitions (RESOLFT) or photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM)/stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), use specialty probes, dyes and fluorescent proteins (FPs) that can switch from dark to light and from one color to another. 'We need the labels in combination with the microscope to overcome the diffraction barrier,' says Stefan Jakobs, who develops probes at University Medical Center G?ttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry. In structured illumination microscopy (SIM), labs routinely achieve 100-nm resolution, he says. Scientists using stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED), RESOLFT, PALM or STORM reach beyond 50-nm resolution. In principle, he says, the methods are diffraction unlimited.

Single-Sided Competitive Axial Coordination of G-Quadruplex/Hemin as Molecular Switch for Imaging Intracellular Nitric Oxide
摘要： Axial coordination is a crucial biological process to regulate biomolecules’ functions in natural enzymes. However, it is a great challenge to determine the single or dual axial interaction between the metal center of enzymes and the ligand. In this work, a controllable axial coordination system was developed based on G-quadruplex/hemin complex by designing a series of fluorescent derivatives. The mechanism on axial coordination of G-quadruplex/hemin with coumarin-imidazole ligands was proposed to be single-sided, and led to fluorescence quenching of ligands. Upon addition of nitric oxide, the fluorescence of ligands was recovered through competitive axial coordination, providing a “signal on” strategy for signal transduction. More significantly, the fluorescent imaging of intracellular nitric oxide was achieved after conjugating with gold nanoparticles. Also, the proposed protocol provided a smart strategy to monitor the relationship between nitric oxide and p53 protein activity in living cells.
