Visual Tracking of Hydrogen Sulfide: Application of a Novel Lysosome-Targeted Fluorescent Probe for Bioimaging and Food Safety Assessment. Molecules 2024; 29:3906. [PMID: 39202985 PMCID: PMC11357609 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29163906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The equilibrium state of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous signaling molecule produced by lysosomal metabolites, in vivo is crucial for cellular function. Abnormal fluctuations in H2S concentration can interfere with the normal function of lysosomes, which has been closely linked to the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. In view of this, a novel fluorescent probe Lyso-DPP based on 1,3,5-triarylpyrazolines was developed for the precise detection of H2S in lysosomes by using the hydrophilic morpholine moiety as a lysosomal targeting unit, and 2,4-dinitroanisole as a fluorescence-quenching and H2S-responsive unit. The probe cleverly combines the advantages of simple synthesis, sensitive blue fluorescence turn-on with a limit of detection, LOD, of 97.3 nM, good stability, and fast response time (10 min), which makes Lyso-DPP successful in portable monitoring of meat freshness in the form of test strips. Moreover, the excellent biocompatibility and precise targeting capability of the probe Lyso-DPP make it perform well in the monitoring of H2S in lysosomes, living cells, and zebrafish. This work not only provides new technical tools for food quality control but also paves up new ideas for early diagnosis and treatment of H2S-related diseases.

[PMID: 38893425 PMCID: PMC11173998 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29112550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Herein, a new, direct paper-based fluorimetric method is described for the quantitative determination of glutathione (GSH) molecules in nutritional supplements. Briefly, the proposed analytical method is based on the fluorescence emission resulting from the direct and selective chemical reaction of GSH molecules with the derivatization reagent that is o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) in acidic conditions at room temperature. The intensity of the emitted fluorescence on the surface of the analytical paper devices after irradiation with a lamp at 365 nm is proportional to the concentration of GSH and is measured using a smartphone as the detector. This methodology, which is suitable for measurements in laboratories with limited resources, does not require specialized instrumentation or trained personnel. The protocol governing the proposed method is simple and easily applicable. Essentially, the chemical analyst should adjust the value of pH on the surface of the paper by adding a minimal amount of buffer solution; then, after adding a few microliters of the derivatization reagent, wait for the surface of the paper to dry and, finally, add the analyte. Subsequently, the irradiation of the sensor and the measurement of the emitted fluorescence can be recorded with a mobile phone. In the present study, several parameters affecting the chemical reaction and the emitted fluorescence were optimized, the effect of interfering compounds that may be present in dietary supplements was examined, and the stability of these paper sensors under different storage conditions was evaluated. Additionally, the chemical stability of these paper devices in various maintenance conditions was studied, with satisfactory results. The detection limit calculated as 3.3 S/N was 20.5 μmol L-1, while the precision of the method was satisfactory, ranging from 3.1% (intra-day) to 7.3% (inter-day). Finally, the method was successfully applied to three different samples of dietary supplements.

Abstract
This study describes the development of a fast and cost-effective method for the detection and removal of Hg2+ ions from aqueous media, consisting of hydrogels incorporating chelating agents and a rhodamine derivative (to afford a qualitative evaluation of the heavy metal entrapment inside the 3D polymeric matrix). These hydrogels, designed for the simultaneous detection and entrapment of mercury, were obtained through the photopolymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPSA) and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP), utilizing N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as crosslinker, in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a rhodamine B derivative, and one of the following chelating agents: phytic acid, 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-tetraacetic acid, triethylenetetramine-hexaacetic acid, or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt. The rhodamine derivative had a dual purpose in this study: firstly, it was incorporated into the hydrogel to allow the qualitative evaluation of mercury entrapment through its fluorogenic switch-off abilities when sensing Hg2+ ions; secondly, it was used to quantitatively evaluate the level of residual mercury from the decontaminated aqueous solutions, via the UV-Vis technique. The ICP-MS analysis of the hydrogels also confirmed the successful entrapment of mercury inside the hydrogels and a good correlation with the UV-Vis method.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are important biothiols in living organisms. They play important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, it is very important to design an optical probe for the selective detection of Cys/Hcy. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a fluorescent probe NBD-B-T based on a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) structure, which showed an excellent lysosome targeting ability and an outstanding Cys/Hcy detection capacity. For NBD-B-T, the sensing group 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) and the lysosomal targeting group morpholine were introduced. The results show that the NBD-B-T probe can detect Cys/Hcy with fluorescence emission turn-on performance. The low detection limits of this probe are about 76.0 nM for Hcy and 97.6 nM for Cys, respectively. The NBD-B-T probe has a low detection limit, high stability, and excellent selectivity and sensitivity. More importantly, the NBD-B-T can target lysosome, and simultaneously detect the Cys/Hcy in living cells.

Abstract
Using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method, the response mechanism of a reported bifunctional fluorescent probe for simultaneous recognition of peroxynitrite and glutathione (Chem. Commun. 2018, 54, 11336) was theoretically studied. Calculated vertical excitation energies based on the ground-state and excited-state geometries were consistent with the corresponding experimental ultraviolet-visible and fluorescence spectra. In the ground state, electron delocalization in the probe was limited because its geometry was restrained by steric hindrance. Frontier molecular orbital analysis has shown that the probe should undergo photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the benzothiazole moiety to the maleimide moiety after excitation. The nonplanar structure together with PET led to fluorescence quenching of the probe. The probe could be dealkylated by peroxynitrite anion. The resulting intramolecular hydrogen bond increasesd the planarity of the molecule, while also gave rise to an excited-state proton-transfer process. Moreover, the addition reaction between the probe and glutathione inhibited the PET process. These two analytes together contributed to the fluorescence enhancement of the final product. This theoretical sensing mechanism for peroxynitrite and glutathione may potentially be important for the design and enhancement of novel probes.

Abstract
In this work, a coumarin derivative, SWJT-14, was synthesized as a fluorescence probe to distinguish cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) in aqueous solutions. The detection limit of Cys, Hcy and GSH for the probe was 0.02 μM, 0.42 μM and 0.92 μM, respectively, which was lower than biothiols in cells. The probe reacted with biothiols to generate different products with different conjugated structures. Additionally, it could distinguish Cys, Hcy and GSH using fluorescence and UV-Vis spectra. The detection mechanism was confirmed by MS. SWJT-14 was successfully used in cellular experiments and detected both endogenous and exogenous biothiols.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1) belongs to sulfane sulfur in the reactive sulfur species (RSS) family and plays a significant regulatory role in organisms. Highly selective and lysosome-located probes for detecting hydrogen polysulfides are rare. Thus, it is important to develop a technique to detect the changes of H2Sn level in lysosomes. In this work, a lysosome-targeting fluorescent probe for H2Sn was designed and developed based on a naphthalimide derivative. 4-Hydroxynaphthalimide was selected as the fluorescent group and 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoate group was used as a specific recognition unit for H2Sn. A morpholine unit was chosen as a lysosome-located group. In the absence of H2Sn, the fluorescent probe exhibited almost no fluorescence. In the presence of H2Sn, the fluorescent probe showed strong fluorescence owing to H2Sn-mediated aromatic substitution-cyclization reactions. The fluorescence emission intensity at 548 nm of the probe showed a good linear relationship toward H2Sn in the range of 2.0 × 10-7 - 9.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1, and the detection limit was found to be 1.5 × 10-7 mol·L-1. The probe possessed a wide work range of pH, including the pH of physiological environment, and high selectivity for H2Sn. There are almost no cytotoxicity and the ability of detecting endogenous and exogenous H2Sn in lysosomes. These results indicate that the fluorescent probe can provide a good tool for intracellular and extracellular detection of H2Sn.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays important roles in many pathophysiological processes and its subcellular detection draws increasing attention. In this study, we designed and prepared a novel lysosome-targetable fluorescent probe (E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2- yl)-4-methyl-6-((morpholinoimino)methyl)phenol (BMP) for selective detection of ONOO- in living systems by incorporating a reactive morpholino hydrazone as new ONOO- response site into a benzothiazole derivative as fluorophore. After reaction with ONOO-, an obvious fluorescence increase (83-fold) was observed accompanied with distinct dual colorimetric and fluorescence changes. Probe BMP displayed the merits of fast response (<3 s), ultrasensitivity (LOD = 6 nM) and high selectivity towards ONOO- over other physiological species including ROS/RNS. Most importantly, the probe was capable of imaging ONOO- in lysosomes of living cells with good cell permeation and negligible cytotoxicity. Therefore, this research provides an effective tool to study the functions of ONOO- in lysosomes.

Abstract
Discriminative detection of biothiols (Cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione) is of great significance to clarificate their complex physiological processes, the occurrence and development of related diseases. However, similar structure and reactivity among such species pose huge challenges in developing fluorescent probes to distinguish among of them. In this work, a dual-site probe CTT reacted with the analytes to regulate molecular conjugation through substitution-rearrangement-cyclization strategy, utilizing a multi-channel signal combination mode to realize the distinguishing detection of the three biothiols. Cell and zebrafish imaging experiments sufficiently demonstrated that CTT could semiquantify biothiols, which will provide valuable chemical tool for elucidating the complex biological functions of biothiols.

Abstract
Heat shock is a potentially fatal condition characterized by high body temperature (>40 °C), which may lead to physical discomfort and dysfunctions of organ systems. Acidic pH environment in lysosomes can activate enzymes, thus facilitating the degradation of proteins in cellular metabolism. Owing to the lack of a practical research tool, it remains difficult to exploit relationship between heat shock and lysosome. Herein, a NIR lysosomal pH chemosensor (NRLH) was developed. One typical lysosome-locating group, morpholine, was incorporated into NRLH. The fluorescence intensity showed pH-dependent characteristics and responded sensitively to pH fluctuations in the pH range of 3.0-5.5. NRLH with a pKa of 4.24 displayed rapid response and high selectivity for H+ among common species. We also demonstrated NRLH was capable of targeting lysosomes. Importantly, NRLH was applied in cellular imaging and the data revealed that lysosomal pH increased but never decreased during the heat shock. Therefore, NRLH may act as an effective molecular tool for exploring the mechanisms of heat-related pathology in bio-systems.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) and plays a significant role in living organisms. Highly selective and lysosome-targetable probes for sensing hypochlorous acid are rare. In this article, we designed and prepared a new lysosome-targeting and ratiometric fluorescent probe for monitoring the levels of hypochlorous acid. 4-Aminonaphthalimide was chosen as the fluorescent group and (2-aminoethyl) thiourea group was used as a specific recognition group for HClO. A morpholine unit was employed as a lysosome-targeting group. In the absence of HClO the probe underwent intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and showed a green emission. When excess HClO is present, the ICT process was interrupted which caused a 57 nm blue-shift of fluorescence emission from 533 nm to 476 nm. The ratiometric fluorescent probe showed outstanding selectivity toward HClO over other various bioactive species. Furthermore, the ratiometric fluorescent probe exhibited rapid response time and ability of working in a wide pH range. The linear response of I476nm/I533nm toward HClO was obtained in a concentration range of HClO from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-4 mol·L-1. The detection limit was estimated to be 8.0 × 10-7 mol·L-1 for HClO. Moreover, the probe showed a perfect lysosome-targeting ability, and has been successfully used to the confocal imaging of HClO in lysosomes of HepG2 cells with little cell toxicity. All of such good properties illustrated that it could be applied to determine HClO at lysosomes in living cells.

Abstract
Thiols are critical to cellular structures and functions. Disturbance of cellular thiols has been found to affect cell functions and cause various diseases. Intracellularly, thiols were found unevenly distributed in subcellular organelles. Probes capable of detecting subcellular thiol density in live cells are valuable tools in determining thiols' roles at the subcellular level. The subcellular organelle lysosome is the place where unwanted macromolecules are removed through degradation by hydrolytic enzymes. The degradation also serves as a regulation of a variety of cellular functions such as autophagy, endocytosis, and phagocytosis to maintain cellular homeostasis. Thiols are found to be involved in the lysosomal degradation process. A probe that can detect lysosomal thiols in live cells will be a valuable tool in unveiling the roles of thiols in lysosomes. We would like to report bis(7-(N-(2-morpholinoethyl)sulfamoyl)benzo[c][1,2,5]-oxadiazol-5-yl)sulfane (BISMORX) as a thiol specific fluorogenic agent for live cell nonprotein thiol (NPSH) imaging in lysosomes through fluorescence microscopy. BISMORX itself shows no fluorescence and reacts readily with a NPSH to form a fluorescent thiol adduct with excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 and 540 nm, respectively. BISMORX does not react with compounds containing nucleophilic functional groups other than thiols such as -OH, -NH2, and -COOH. No reaction was observed either when BISMORX was mixed with protein thiols. BISMORX was able to image, quantify, and detect the change of NPSH in lysosomes in live cells. A colocalization experiment with LysoTracker Red DND-99 confirmed that the thiols imaged by BISMORX were indeed lysosomal thiols.

Abstract
As an effective lysosomal biomarker for oxidative stress status, cysteine (Cys) plays an important role in lysosomal proteolysis. Herein, we report the first lysosome-targetable fluorescence probe (MCAB) for Cys-selective detection based on nucleophilic addition reaction of sulfhydryl toward a α, β-unsaturated ketone and demonstrate its application to lysosomal-targetable imaging. MCAB is designed based on a α, β-unsaturated ethanoylcarbazole as the fluorophore and the thiols reaction site, and a methylcarbitol unit as a lysosome-targetable group. Upon reacting with Cys, this probe turns on highly specific fluorescence signals linearly proportional to Cys concentrations over the range of 0-300 μM. MCAB detects Cys with a rapid response time (within 12 min) and low limit of detection (0.38 μM). MCAB is highly selective to Cys over other similar biothiols including homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Moreover, it also exhibits significant lysosomal-targetable ability, which is ideal for lysosomal Cys-selective imaging. Using MCAB, we have successfully visualized the fluctuation endogenous Cys in lysosomes under oxidative stress status in real-time.

Disturbance of cellular thiols has been associated with various diseases and disorders. Probes that are able to detect subcellular thiol density in live cells are valuable tools in determining thiols' roles at the subcellular level.

A probe that can detect lysosomal thiols in live cells will be useful in unveiling the roles of thiols in lysosomes. Currently, limited probes are available to detect lysosomal thiols in live cells. We would like to report 4,4'-{[7,7'-thiobis(benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole-4,4'-sulfonyl)]bis(oxy))bis(naphthalene-2,7-disulfonicacid) (TBONES) as a thiol-specific fluorogenic agent for lysosomal thiol imaging in live cells through fluorescence microscopy. TBONES exhibits no fluorescence and readily reacts with non-protein thiols to form fluorescent thiol adducts with λex = 400 nm and λem = 540 nm. No reaction was observed when TBONES was mixed with compounds containing nucleophilic functional groups other than thiols such as -OH, -NH2, and -COOH. No reaction was observed either when TBONES was mixed with protein thiols. When incubated with cells, TBONES selectively and effectively imaged lysosomal thiols in live cells. Imaging of lysosomal thiols was confirmed by a co-localization experiment with LysoTracker™ Blue DND-22.

Abstract
There is a high demand for sensitive biothiol probes targeting cysteine, glutathione, and homocysteine. These biothiols are known as playing essential roles to maintain homeostasis and work as indicators of many diseases. This work presents a bioluminescent probe (named AMCM) to detect biothiols in live mammalian cells and in vivo with a limit of detection of 0.11 μM for cysteine in solution and high selectivity for biothiols, making it suitable for real-time biothiol detection in biological systems. Upon application to live cells, AMCM showed low cytotoxicity and sensitively reported bioluminescence in response to changes of biothiol levels. Furthermore, a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer system consisting of AMCM combined with the near-infrared fluorescent protein iRFP713 was applied to in vivo imaging, with emitted tissue-permeable luminescence in living mice. In summary, this work demonstrates that AMCM is of high practical value for the detection of biothiols in living cells and for deep tissue imaging in living animals.

Abstract
Herein we reported a two-photon (TP) fluorescence "turn-on" probe MNPO, exhibiting high selectivity and sensitivity towards intracellular cysteine (Cys) with excellent lysosomal localization. The probe displayed fast response towards Cys over homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH), and other various analytes under physiological conditions. Low cytotoxicity made it successful for TP imaging of Cys in HeLa cells with an ultralow probe concentration of 250 nM, and a rapid response of only 10 min. Simultaneously, colocalization experiments in lysosome demonstrated its ability for specific in situ detection of lysosomal Cys in living cells, which shed light on its potential applications in biomedical applications. Beyond that MNPO was successfully applied for TP imaging of Cys in mice organ tissues such as heart, liver, and spleen, and the penetration depth of mice heart tissue was up to 184 μm, which disclosed the predominant TP characteristic. We believe that this study will provide some useful information toward diagnosis and treatment of pathogenesis associated with Cys or lysosomes in future.

Abstract
In view of the vital role of biothiols in many physiological processes, the development of simple and efficient probe for the detection of biothiols is of great medical significance. In this work, we demonstrate the use of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), which respond rapidly to biothiols especially to glutathione, as a new fluorescent probe for the selective detection and bioimaging of biothiols. This new fluorescent probe can distinguish glutathione from cysteine and homocysteine easily under physiological concentration and detect glutathione quickly within three minutes. This probe exhibits high selectivity to biothiols and the detection limit was determined to be 3.08 × 10−9 M for glutathione, 8.55 × 10−8 M for cysteine, and 2.17 × 10−9 M for homocysteine, respectively. The sensing mechanism was further explored by density functional theory (DFT) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment; results showed that the interaction forces between the probe and biothiols were electrostatic interaction. In addition, the probe has been successfully applied to the detection of biothiols in Eca9706 cells by fluorescence confocal imaging technology.

Abstract
Homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) play important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Abnormal levels of Hcy and GSH are related to various diseases. Fluorescent probes for detecting them with sensitive and selective are highly desirable. However, efficient discrimination of Hcy and GSH is still a challenge for their similar molecular structures and chemical properties. Herein, we report a naphthalimide and sulfonyl benzoxadiazole (SBD) based dual-selective fluorescent probe for Hcy and GSH over other amino acids. The probe exhibited weak fluorescence (Φ = 0.075, in DMSO) at 490 nm and fluorescence enhancement upon addition of GSH (1-20 μM) with a detection limit of 0.8 μM. The probe also exhibited ratiometric fluorescence responses for Hcy (fluorescence at 490 nm decreased and fluorescence at 552 nm increased). The fluorescence intensity ratio (I552/I490) showed a good linear correlation with the Hcy concentrations in range of 3-20 μM and the detection limit was 0.1 μM. Moreover, this probe was successfully utilized for monitoring Hcy and GSH in living cells.
