[PMID: 38897059 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
As one of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) performs various functions in both pathological and physiological mechanisms. In this work, an optical and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (NX), which based on 3-dihydro-1H-xanthene and 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF) group was designed and prepared to detect ONOO-. This probe revealed an obvious optical and a fluorescent response when ONOO- was present and it exhibited higher selectivity over other ROS. Especially, the dual NIR fluorescence changes at 660 and 800 nm allowed quantitative detection of ONOO- in the range of 15-40 μM, and the detection limit was 82 nM. Finally, the probe was effectively employed to visualize exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in HepG2 cells and zebrafish, respectively. All the results indicated the dual NIR-channel probe could serve as a potent detecting tools in studying ONOO- in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Abnormal viscosity is closely related to the occurrence of many diseases, such as cancer. Therefore, real-time detection of changes in viscosity in living cells is of great importance. Fluorescent molecular rotors play a critical role in detecting changes in cellular viscosity. Developing red emission viscosity probes with large Stokes shifts and high sensitivity and specificity remains an urgent and important topic. Herein, a novel viscosity-sensitive fluorescent probe (TCF-VIS1) with a large stokes shift and red emission was prepared based on the 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF) skeleton. Due to intramolecular rotation, the probe itself does not fluorescence at low viscosity. With the increase in viscosity, the rotation of TCF-VIS1 is limited, and its fluorescence is obviously enhanced. The probe has the advantages of simple preparation, large Stokes shift, good sensitivity and selectivity, and low cytotoxicity, which make it successfully used for viscosity detection in living cells. Moreover, TCF-VIS1 showed its potential for cancer diagnosis at the cell level and in tumor-bearing mice by detecting viscosity. Therefore, the probe is expected to enrich strategies for the detection of viscosity in biological systems and offer a potential tool for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Cysteine is an important amino acid that is related to human health and food safety. How to effectively detect Cys in food has received widespread attention. Compared with other methods, fluorescent probes have the advantages of simple operation, high sensitivity, and good selectivity. Therefore, a selective fluorescence probe 2 for Cys in food was designed and synthesized. Probe 2 employed the acrylate group as a thiol-recognition site for Cys, which endowed probe 2 with better selectivity for Cys over Hcy and GSH. The recognition pathway underwent Michael addition, intramolecular cyclization, and concomitant release of the piperideine-based fluorophore, along with a chromogenic change from yellow to orange. This pathway was supported by 1H NMR analysis and DFT calculations. In addition, probe 2 displays a linear response to Cys concentrations (0-30 μM), low detection limit (0.89 μM), and large Stokes shift (125 nm). Overall, probe 2 showed great application potential for the quantitative determination of Cys in water, milk, cucumber, pear and tomato.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term systemic inflammatory disease that causes severe joint pain. Golgi stress caused by redox imbalance significantly involves in acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, in which cysteine (Cys), as a representative reducing agent, may be an effective biomarker for RA. Hence, in order to achieve RA early detection and drugs evaluation, based on our previous work about innovative Golgi-targeting group, we established a phenylsulfonamide-modified fluorescence probe, Golgi-Cys, for the selective fluorescence imaging of Cys in Golgi apparatus in vivo. By application of Golgi-Cys, the Cys changes under Golgi stress in cells were elucidated. More importantly, we found that the probe can be effectively utilized for the RA detection and treatment evaluation in situ.

Abstract
Development of noninvasive bioimaging fluorescent probes for detecting particular enzyme activity is greatly recommendable for preclinical diagnosis of cancer. Given that the elevated β-gal activity is positively correlated with several tumors, developing a fluorescent probe for the sensing of β-gal is therefore highly desirable for cancer diagnosis. Herein, a new enzyme-activatable near-infrared (NIR) turn-on fluorescent probe (DMC-βgal) was developed for accurately detecting β-gal activity characterized by excellent selectivity, high sensitivity (LOD = 0.298 U/L), and low toxicity. More importantly, DMC-βgal qualifies remarkable NIR excitation (725 nm) and emission wavelength (770 nm), an ideal tool for restrained photodamage and suppressed autofluorescence. The above excellent performance of DMC-β-gal allowed for the accurate monitoring of endogenous β-gal in living cells. Moreover, the probe was successfully applied to detect intracellular β-gal activity in different types of cancer cells, verifying that SKOV-3 cells had a higher level of β-gal activity than those of A549, HCT-116, MCF-7, and HepG2 cells. Furthermore, DMC-βgal could real-time visualize endogenously β-gal in tumor-bearing nude mice with low auto-fluorescence interference. All results fully demonstrated that DMC-βgal has potential value as a promising strategy for diagnosis of β-gal-related diseases.

Abstract
Monitoring of cysteine (Cys) is of significant importance for studying Cys-involved biological functions and clinically diagnosing Cys-related diseases. Recently, few fluorescent probes with two different reacting sites were reported to be capable of sensing different concentration ranges of Cys with distinct fluorescence signals, particularly suiting for bioimaging. However, due to relative sophisticated synthesis and moderate selectivity, the applications of these probes were still severely restricted. In this work, we proposed a novel probe design strategy by utilizing two same reacting groups, instead of two different reacting groups, to simplify the synthesis route and minimize the interference from competing species. Same reacting groups in a probe with different steric hindrances could exhibit different reactivities to Cys. This probe showed distinguishable fluorescence peak wavelengths towards low and high concentration ranges of Cys, giving green and blue emissions, respectively. Moreover, this probe was successfully applied for monitoring of Cys concentration in living cells. We believe this work provided a simpler strategy for dual-site fluorescent probes to sense difference concentration ranges of Cys, which may inspire more probe design in future.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocystine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), are generally known to result in various diseases. A fast dual-responsive OFF-ON fluorescent probe HBO-AC was synthesized and developed. Non-fluorescent HBO-AC can sense Cys by regaining fluorescence at 444 nm within 10 min and a response to GSH by restoring fluorescence at 349 nm within 20 min. There is no mutual interference with Δλ ca. 100 nm. A novel method was developed by utilizing a low reaction rate between HBO-AC and Hcy to eliminate common interference from Hcy. A successful determination of Cys and GSH in fetal bovine serum (FBS) indicated that the probe had potential application for clinical diagnosis. Moreover, it was confirmed that HBO-AC can resist interference from protein to some extent, since FBS was not pretreated before use.

Abstract
The fluorescent probes with good water-solubility, long-wavelength emission and large Stokes shift are greatly desirable for in vivo detection. Herein, we designed a novel 1,8-naphthalimide-based near-infrared (NIR) optical and fluorescent probe (NTC) for sensing cysteine (Cys). Using acrylate as the recognition site, the probe demonstrated high selectivity and sensitivity for Cys with a low detection limit (0.093 μM) in aqueous buffer solution due to the excellent water-solubility. Upon the reaction with Cys, the recovery of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the probe led to about 40-fold fluorescence enhancement. Furthermore, the reaction result was investigated by 1H NMR, and HRMS analyses, and the sensing mechanism was validated by quantum calculations. Finally, NTC was applied to image exogenous and endogenous Cys in HeLa cells and zebrafish selectively, implying that the probe possessed great potential application in biological fluorescence sensing.

Abstract
A novel curcumin-analogous fluorescent sensor, DNP, was developed for cysteine detection with a bilateral-response click-like mechanism. DNP indicated high selectivity and practical sensitivity. It could recognize Cys from other biologically relevant molecules, especially, from GSH and Hcy. The most interesting point was that, with typical azide groups for sensing, DNP indicated a covalent binding procedure with Cys instead of a presupposed simple reduction for reductive sulfide. Moreover, the recognition occurred at both sides of the sensor. DNP could be utilized into the detection of endogenous and exogenous Cys in living cells. Though the specific optical performances of DNP still need optimization, this work supplied novel information for broadening the vision on fluorophores and mechanisms, for the monitoring of Cys and even other sulfur-containing species.

[PMID: 33379107 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Among the physiological and pathological sulfur-containing species, cysteine (Cys) is the most typical one which is an important component of the REDOX system in vivo. Monitoring the level of Cys from other competing species seems quite important in pre-clinical diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation. Herein, we developed a selective fluorescent probe, BPCys, for Cys from the benzo[a]phenazin backbone which had the potential of anti-cancer potency. BPCys suggested advantages including high specificity (40 fold over other species), high sensitivity (detection limit: 18 nM), wide pH adaptability (6.0-11.0) and in particular, the anti-cancer effect. Biological assays and in silico simulation hinted the potency of the detecting product on Topoisomerase I/II. In brief, this study raised a practical strategy for monitoring the Cys level in living cells, especially in cancer models with its anti-cancer potential, thus opened the mind of exploring more specific tool for specific applications.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) stabilized by glutathione (GSH) have been synthesized using a simple one-pot method, which were used as a fluorescence-enhanced probe for the detection of cysteine (Cys) and GSH. The detection is based on the finding that the weak yellow fluorescence of the AuNCs, with excitation/emission maxima of 430/600 nm, can be enhanced by Cys and GSH via NCs aggregation. This method is selective for Cys and GSH. According to the fluorescence enhancement, the detection ranges of AuNCs for Cys and GSH are 2.49 µM ~ 0.80 mM and 1.99 µM ~ 0.44 mM, with the detection limit of 0.42 µM and 0.27 µM, respectively. In addition, the probe has good anti-interference performance over other common biomolecules. Importantly, the probe is successfully used for the determination of Cys in human serum samples, displaying the potential application of the probe in the detection of biological sulfhydryl molecules in actual samples.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), an important organic small molecule containing sulfhydryl groups, plays paramount functions in human pathologies and physiologies. The detection of Cys in living vivo is essential for studying its roles. Here, we designed and synthesized a novel red-emission fluorescent probe AXPI-Cys with highly sensitivity (LOD = 48.9 ± 0.23 nM), rapidly response (<7 min) and colorimetric for detection cysteine. More importantly, the AXPI-Cys was determined Cys in real cystinuria urine samples for the first time with the satisfactory results (92%-99.96%) and employed for specifically location of endogenous/exogenous Cys in living cancer/normal cells and almost non-toxic, that is very valuable for diagnosis of cystinuria and observation of the distribution of Cys in normal cells. Notably, the AXPI-Cys was applied to imaging Cys in BALB/c nude mice with good biocompatibility and desirable tissue-penetration depth. Owing to the superior capability of AXPI-Cys, it provided a desired method to detect Cys in urine samples and cells, and exhibited munificent potential usage in biosystems and imaging studies in vivo.
