Near-infrared fluorescent probe for ultrasensitive detection of organophosphorus pesticides and visualization of their interaction with butyrylcholinesterase in living cells.

[PMID: 39032455 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126587] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
The toxicity of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) can catastrophically cause liver cell damage and inhibit the catalytic activity of cholinesterase. We designed and synthesized a near-infrared fluorescent probe HP-LZB with large Stokes shift which can specifically identify and detect butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and visually explore the interaction between OPs and endogenous BChE in living cells. Fluorescence was turned on when HP-LZB was hydrolyzed into HP-LZ in the presence of BChE, and OPs could inhibit BChE's activity resulting in a decrease of fluorescence. Six OPs including three oxon pesticides (paraoxon, chlorpyrifos oxon and diazoxon) and their corresponding thion pesticides (parathion, chlorpyrifos and diazinon) were investigated. Both in vitro and cell experiments indicated that only oxon pesticides could inhibit BChE's activity. The limits of detection (LODs) of paraoxon, chlorpyrifos oxon and diazoxon were as low as 0.295, 0.007 and 0.011 ng mL-1 respectively and the recovery of OPs residue in vegetable samples was satisfactory. Thion pesticides themselves could hardly inhibit the activity of BChE and are only toxic when they are converted to their corresponding oxon form in the metabolic process. However, in this work, thion pesticides were found not be oxidized into their oxon forms in living HepG2 cells due to the lack of cytochrome P450 in hepatoma HepG2 cell lines. Therefore, this probe has great application potential in effectively monitoring OPs in real plant samples and visually exploring the interaction between OPs and BChE in living cells.

Abstract
Globally, 91% of plant production encounters diverse environmental stresses that adversely affect their growth, leading to severe yield losses of 50-60%. In this case, monitoring the connection between the environment and plant health can balance population demands with environmental protection and resource distribution. Fluorescent chemosensors have shown great progress in monitoring the health and environment of plants due to their high sensitivity and biocompatibility. However, to date, no comprehensive analysis and systematic summary of fluorescent chemosensors used in monitoring the correlation between plant health and their environment have been reported. Thus, herein, we summarize the current fluorescent chemosensors ranging from their design strategies to applications in monitoring plant-environment interaction processes. First, we highlight the types of fluorescent chemosensors with design strategies to resolve the bottlenecks encountered in monitoring the health and living environment of plants. In addition, the applications of fluorescent small-molecule, nano and supramolecular chemosensors in the visualization of the health and living environment of plants are discussed. Finally, the major challenges and perspectives in this field are presented. This work will provide guidance for the design of efficient fluorescent chemosensors to monitor plant health, and then promote sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract
Liver diseases are a growing public health concern and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has a significant impact on human metabolism. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is a vital biomarker for NAFLD, making it crucial to monitor BChE activity with high sensitivity and selectivity. In this study, we designed and synthesized a range of benzorhodol-derived far-red/near-infrared fluorescent probes, FRBN-B, NF-SB, and NF-B, for the quantitative detection and imaging of BChE. These probes differed in the size of their conjugated systems and in the number of incorporated cyclopropanecarboxylates, acting as the recognition site for BChE. Comprehensive characterization showed that FRBN-B and NF-SB fluorescence was triggered by BChE-mediated hydrolysis, while an additional cyclopropanecarboxylate in NF-B impeded the fluorescence release. High selectivity towards BChE was observed for FRBN-B and NF-SB, with a detection limit of 7.2 × 10-3 U mL-1 for FRBN-B and 1.9 × 10-3 U mL-1 for NF-SB. The probes were further employed in the evaluation of BChE inhibitor efficacy and imaging of intracellular BChE activity. Additionally, FRBN-B was utilized for imaging the BChE activity level in liver tissues in zebrafish, demonstrating its potential as a diagnostic tool for NAFLD.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is widely expressed in multiple tissues and has a vital role in several key human disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and tumorigenesis. However, the role of BChE in human disorders has not been investigated. Thus, to quantitatively detect and visualize dynamical variations in BChE activity is essential for exploring the biological roles of BChE in the progression of a number of human disorders. Herein, based on the substrate characteristics of BChE, we customized and synthesized three near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe substrates with cyanine-skeleton, and finally selected a NIR fluorescence probe substrate named CYBA. The CYBA demonstrated a significant increase in fluorescence when interacting with BChE, but mainly avoided AChE. Upon the addition of BChE, CYBA could be specifically hydrolyzed to TBO, resulting in a significant NIR fluorescence signal enhancement at 710 nm. Systematic evaluation revealed that CYBA exhibited exceptional chemical stability in complex biosamples and possessed remarkable selectivity and sensitivity towards BChE. Moreover, CYBA was successfully applied for real-time imaging of endogenous BChE activity in two types of nerve-related living cells. Additionally, CYBA demonstrated exceptional stability in the detection of complex biological samples in plasma recovery studies (97.51%-104.01%). Furthermore, CYBA was used to construct a high-throughput screening (HTS) method for BChE inhibitors using human plasma as the enzyme source. We evaluated inhibitory effects of a series of natural products and four flavonoids were identified as potent inhibitors of BChE. Collectively, CYBA can serve as a practical tool to track the changes of BChE activity in complicated biological environments due to its excellent capabilities.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is a crucial hydrolytic enzyme predominantly synthesized in the liver, playing a significant role in conditions like liver disorders, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and fat metabolism regulation. This study aims to address the current limitations in visualizing BChE activity in diseases at various states by introducing an ultra-sensitive near-infrared fluorescent probe, FDCM-BChE. The probe was engineered to have several properties, such as a large Stokes shift, rapid response time, high stability, excellent selectivity, and low detection limits. We validated the efficacy of FDCM-BChE in quantifying BChE activity in human serum and leveraged its low cytotoxicity for cellular imaging. The study revealed the downregulation of BChE activity in liver cancer and hepatic injury and the upregulation in diabetes. Thus, FDCM-BChE shows promise as a tool for specific applications, providing insights into diseases associated with BChE activity.
