[PMID: 39089082 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
Heightened oxidative stress is the principal driver behind the altered metabolism of neurotransmitters within the brains of Parkinson's disease (PD). Hypochlorous acid (HClO), a variant of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a crucial role in several lysosomal activities. An irregular concentration of HClO may result in significant molecular damage and contribute to the onset of neurodegenerative disorders. Despite this, the precise role of lysosomal HClO in PD remains unclear, due to its fast reactivity and low levels. This is further complicated by the lack of effective in situ imaging techniques for accurately tracking its dynamics. Therefore, it is of great significance to use effective tools to map the lysosomal HClO during the pathological process of PD. In this study, we propose a fluorogenic probe named Lys-PTZ-HClO for the specific and sensitive detection of HClO. Lys-PTZ-HClO exhibits features like a fast response time (10 s) and a low detection limit (0.72 μM). Benefiting from its superior properties, the probe was used to visualize the basal HClO levels, and the variation of HClO levels in lysosomal of living cells. More importantly, this probe was successfully applied for the first time to reveal increased lysosomal HClO in a cellular model of PD.

Abstract
Cancer represents a global threat to human health, and effective strategies for improved cancer early diagnosis and treatment are urgently needed. The detection of tumor biomarkers has been one of the important auxiliary means for tumor screening and diagnosis. Mitochondria are crucial subcellular organelles that produce most chemical energy used by cells, control metabolic processes, and maintain cell function. Evidence suggests the close involvement of mitochondria with cancer development. As a consequence, the identification of cancer-associated biomarker expression levels in mitochondria holds significant importance in the diagnosis of early-stage diseases and the monitoring of therapy efficacy. Small-molecule fluorescent probes are effective for the identification and visualization of bioactive entities within biological systems, owing to their heightened sensitivity, expeditious non-invasive analysis and real-time detection capacities. The design principles and sensing mechanisms of mitochondrial targeted fluorescent probes are summarized in this review. Additionally, the biomedical applications of these probes for detecting cancer-associated biomarkers are highlighted. The limitations and challenges of fluorescent probes in vivo are also considered and some future perspectives are provided. This review is expected to provide valuable insights for the future development of novel fluorescent probes for clinical imaging, thereby contributing to the advancement of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Bioorg Chem 2024; 143:107051. [PMID: 38141329 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.107051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a common reactive oxygen species (ROS) associated with the development of liver, tumor, inflammatory, and other diseases. In this work, the turn-on fluorescent probe named (WZ-HOCl) with a naphthalimide structure was designed and synthesized to detect endogenous HOCl in disease models. WZ-HOCl can achieve a fast response to HOCl with good linearity in the range of 0-45 μM (LOD = 147 nM). The application of WZ-HOCl in bioimaging was investigated by constructing a series of cellular disease models, and the results showed that WZ-HOCl could sensitively detect endogenous HOCl in inflammatory and liver disease models. It can also be used to differentiate between hepatocytes and hepatoma cells. WZ-HOCl will provide new methods and ideas for fluorescent probes in detecting drug-induced liver injury, alcoholic and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and some inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI), as a classic acute inflammation, has attracted widespread concern due to its unpredictability and severity. Among the various reactive oxygen species, HClO has been used as a marker for the detection of DILI process. Thus, we designed and synthesized a "turn-on" fluorescent probe FBC-DS by modifying 3'-formyl-4'-hydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carbonitrile (FBC-OH) with N, N-dimethylthiocarbamate group for sensitively sensing HClO. Probe FBC-DS showed a low detection limit (65 nM), fast response time (30 s), an enormous Stokes shift (183 nm) and 85-fold fluorescence enhancement at 508 nm in the detection of HClO. Probe FBC-DS could monitor exogenous and endogenous HClO in living HeLa cells, HepG2 cells and zebrafish. In addition, probe FBC-DS has been successfully utilized in biological vectors for imaging acetaminophen (APAP)-induced endogenous HClO. Moreover, DILI caused by APAP is evaluated by probe FBC-DS through imaging over-expression of endogenous HClO in the mice liver injury models. All in all, we have every reason to believe that probe FBC-DS can be a potential tool to study the complex biological relationship between HClO and drug-induced liver injury.
