Wei D, Dai Y, Cao J, Fu N. A novel fluorescent probe for visualizing viscosity changes in lipid droplets during chemotherapy-induced ferroptosis. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1299:342422. [PMID: 38499425 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342422] [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: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferroptosis, as a novel form of cell death, is becoming one of the hot topics in cancer treatment research. It differs from necrosis and autophagy in that it involves the accumulation of lipid peroxides and is triggered by iron dependency. Recent studies have suggested that this mechanism may alter the viscosity or structure of lipid droplets (LDs). The relationship between LDs viscosity and ferroptosis remains an active area of research with limited reports at present. Additionally, there is a lack of effective anticancer drugs targeting the ferroptosis pathway to promote ferroptosis in tumour cells. Therefore, the development of tools to detect viscosity changes during ferroptosis and targeted therapeutic strategies is of great significance. RESULTS By coupling 1,3-indandione with naphthalimide, including decamethylamine as a LDs recognition group, we designed and synthesized an environmental fluorescent probe that induces intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) effects. Notably, the diffusion and transport of intracellular substances may be affected in highly viscous environments. Under such conditions, intracellular iron ions may accumulate, leading to peroxide production and cellular damage, which can trigger ferroptosis. Therefore, WD-1 achieved excellent in situ bioimaging of LDs targeting and its viscosity during ferroptosis in HeLa cells and zebrafish. Furthermore, it was observed that WD-1 effectively differentiated between malignant and normal cells during this process, highlighting its potential significance in distinguishing cellular states. In addition, we used the antitumour drug paclitaxel to study ferroptosis in cancer cells. These findings not only provide an excellent tool for the development of the ferroptosis response, but also are crucial for understanding the biological properties of LDs during the ferroptosis response. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY Based on a powerful tool of fluorescent probe with in vivo bioimaging, we developed WD-1 to track the impact of paclitaxel on the process of ferroptosis in living cells. Therefore, we preliminarily believe that paclitaxel may affect the occurrence of ferroptosis and control apoptosis in cancer cells. These findings not only serve as an exceptional tool for advancing our understanding of the ferroptosis response, but furthermore play a vital role in comprehending the biological characteristics of LDs in relation to ferroptosis.

Abstract
Normally, small-molecule fluorescent probes dependent on the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) are invalid for fixed cells and tissues, which limits their clinical applications when the fixation of pathological specimens is imperative. Given that mitochondrial morphology is closely associated with disease, we developed a long-chain mitochondrial probe for fixed cells and tissues, DMPQ-12, by installing a C12-alkyl chain into the quinoline moiety. In fixed cells stained with DMPQ-12, filament mitochondria and folded cristae were observed with confocal and structural illumination microscopy, respectively. In titration test with three major phospholipids, DMPQ-12 exhibited a stronger binding force to mitochondria-exclusive cardiolipin, revealing its targeting mechanism. Moreover, mitochondrial morphological changes in the three lesion models were clearly visualized in fixed cells. Finally, by DMPQ-12, three kinds of mitochondria with different morphologies were observed in situ in fixed muscle tissues. This work breaks the conventional concept that organic fluorescent probes only stain mitochondria with normal membrane potentials and opens new avenues for comprehensive mitochondrial investigations in research and clinical settings.

Abstract
A viscosity-sensitive, lysosome-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe (PYATT) was reported in this paper. The fluorescent spectra of PYATT are strongly dependent on viscosity, resulting in a Stokes shift of about 190 nm. Given its photostability, low cytotoxicity, and high fluorescence quantum yield, PYATT is expected to be used in cell imaging. Due to the higher viscosity of tumor cells than normal cells, the fluorescence intensity of PYATT in tumor cells is higher than normal cells, which can realize the visualization of tumors. The near-infrared probe (PYATT) is viscosity-dependent in lysosomes, which is valuable in early diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Lysosomal viscosity is a significant parameter of lysosomes and closely related to various diseases. Herein, two fluorescent probes, Lyso-vis-A and Lyso-vis-B, were developed, which demonstrate diverse advantages, including great water solubility, lysosome targeting ability and viscosity sensitivity. In particular, Lyso-vis-A exclusively showed fluorescence response toward viscosity but was not influenced by pH changes, rendering it a selective lysosomal viscosity probe. Furthermore, Lyso-vis-A was successfully applied to monitor lysosomal viscosity variations in living cells and differentiate cancer cells and normal cells.

Abstract
The microenvironments of biological systems are associated with the pathology of organisms. This study, aimed to construct a hemicyanine-based probe (1), which can respond to mitochondrial viscosity and hydrazine (N2H4), for imaging application in living cells and zebrafish. The probe showed no fluorescence due to the intramolecular rotation in the solution; however, it exhibited a strong emission at 730 nm when the molecules were restricted to a high-viscosity environment. The addition of N2H4 caused an elimination reaction of the N-substituted group in the pyridinium part and further broke the CC bond to produce a highly fluorescent hydrazone. Also, the probe could selectively and quantitatively detect N2H4 via the fluorescence enhancement at 510 nm in a concentration range of 0 μM-140μM, with the limit of detection being 0.0485 μM. This probe may be used to study diseases related to N2H4 and viscosity changes in biological systems. Furthermore, the analysis methods based on probe 1 for N2H4 detection in soil, water, and air samples were successfully established.

Abstract
Viscosity and sulfur dioxide levels are important factors to evaluate the changes of cell micro-environment because a series of diseases usually occur when they are abnormal. At present, dual-response probes that can detect both viscosity and sulfur dioxide are rare. Therefore, we developed a novel fluorescent probe CBN for simultaneous detection of sulfur dioxide and viscosity. Besides, probe CBN could target lysosome of which normal function will be disrupted by the abnormality of viscosity. Therefore, probe CBN has the potential to be served as an effective biological tool to monitor the intracellular micro-environment.

Abstract
Monitoring the physiological changes of organelles is essential for understanding the local biological information of cells and for improving the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Currently, fluorescent probes are considered as the most powerful tools for imaging and have been widely applied in biomedical fields. However, the expected targeting effects of these probes are often inconsistent with the real experiments. The design of fluorescent probes mainly depends on the empirical knowledge of researchers, which was inhibited by limited chemical space and low efficiency. Herein, we proposed a novel multilevel framework for the prediction of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes by employing advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. In this way, not only the targeting mechanism could be interpreted beyond intuitions but also a quick evaluation method could be established for the rational design. Furthermore, the targeting and imaging powers of the optimized and synthesized probes based on this methodology were verified by quantitative calculation and experiments.

Abstract
Organelles, including mitochondria (mito), lysosomes (lyso), endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus (Golgi), and ribosome et al., play a vital role in maintaining the regular work of the cell. Viscosity is an essential parameter in the cellular microenvironment. Herein, four viscosity-sensitive near-infrared fluorescent probes DMPC, DEPC, DHDM and DHDV that can simultaneously target multiple organelles were synthesized. As the viscosity increased, the fluorescence intensity of the probes gradually increased due to the hindrance of the rotation of the carbon-carbon single bond. The fluorescence intensity of DHDV increased by about 453 times, and the fluorescence quantum yield also increased from 0.051 to 0.681. Cell experiments indicated the probes could simultaneously target four kinds of organelles, and the four probes could also track mitochondria with no dependence on membrane potential. Further experiments showed that the probes could detect viscosity changes in lyso and mito. In addition, the probes also demonstrated the advantages of low cytotoxicity, good anti-interference and stability, providing a simple and effective tool for studying the activity of organelles with changing viscosity signals.

Abstract
In this paper we report a hemicyanine dye that is used to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells with its ability to target different organelles. Probe 1, a red emission hemicyanine functional dye, was connected to oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine and diethylaminobenzene with a double bond. The maximum absorption peaks of probe 1 were located in the 509-552 nm range in organic solvents. Meanwhile, the probe possessed a high molar extinction coefficient (5.50 × 104 M-1 cm-1 in DMSO) with high photostability. The maximum emission wavelength of the probe ranged from 572 nm to 644 nm, and it also had a large Stokes shift (126 nm in DMSO). In particular, the probe showed weak fluorescence in water (Φ = 0.016), whereas it displayed strong fluorescence at 595 nm in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) solution (Φ = 0.13). In addition, cell colocalization experiments showed that probe 1 (3 μM) was located in the endoplasmic reticulum in cancer cells, while it could target lysosomes in normal cells. What's more, further cell imaging experiments demonstrated that the average fluorescence intensity of probe 1 (0.3 μM) in cancer cells increased with the addition of β-CD, but it did not occur in normal cells. The study provides a convenient way to distinguish cancer cells from normal ones, which has potential for application in the early detection of cancer.

Abstract
Compared to ordinary cells, tumor cells have a unique microenvironment, characterized by high viscosity, low pH, high reactive oxygen species level and the overexpression of certain proteases. Therefore, viscosity and pH can be used as important parameters for visualizing cancer. We designed a spiro-oxazolidine compound (In-1) for the dual-channel detection of viscosity and pH, with the red channel for detecting viscosity and the blue channel for pH. Interestingly, In-1 can locate different organelles under different conditions. Under physiological conditions, In-1 efficiently targeted lysosomes and showed that the viscosity of lysosomes increases in cancer cells while the pH decreases, which can be used to distinguish and detect cancer cells and normal cells. When we treated HL-7702 cells with CCCP, the probe could effectively target the mitochondria, and the fluorescence intensity in the pH channel decreased. This indicates that In-1 can be used as a powerful tool to simultaneously monitor viscosity and pH in different organelles, and may have a guiding role in diseases caused by mitochondrial and lysosomal microenvironments.

Abstract
Viscosity is an important microenvironmental indicator that plays an important role in the process of information transmission in various regions. Herein, two coumarin-based viscosity-sensitive fluorescent probes (CHB, CHN) were synthesized and the photophysical properties of the two probes were studied. The fluorescence quantum yields of CHB and CHN in glycerol can be as high as 25.2% and 18.3% respectively. The two probes can linearly detect viscosity in the viscosity logarithm range of 0.83-2.07, which is not interfered with pH, metal ions, anions and biomolecules. Fluorescent confocal cell experiments show CHB and CHN have good targeting ability to mitochondrion, lysosome, Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, and can be used to detect viscosity in mitochondrion/lysosome.

Abstract
Mitochondria, as "cell energy stations", are involved in the regulation of various cell functions. Recent investigations revealed that mitochondrial dysfunction that can cause an intracellular viscosity mutation, a process that is associated with an increasing number of diseases that are not curable or manageable. However, conventional viscometers cannot be used to monitor the viscosity changes in living cells and in vivo. In order to cater to the complex biological environment, we present a chemical toolbox, MI-BP-CC, that employs N,N-diethyl and double bonds as sensitive sites for viscosity based on the TICT mechanism (twisted intramolecular charge transfer) to monitor the viscosity of living cells and fatter liver mice. MI-BP-CC features good mitochondrial targeting and a near-infrared emission. Surprisingly, in the presence of viscosity, the MI-BP-CC probe exhibited an ultrasensitive model for viscosity detection showing a red fluorescence signal from a silent "off" state to "on". More importantly, utilizing the satisfactory detection performance of MI-BP-CC, we have successfully visualized increased viscosity under the pathological models of Parkinson's (PD) and fatty liver mice. We anticipate that these findings will provide a convenient and efficient tool to understand physiological functions of viscosity in more biosystems.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an indispensable organelle in eukaryotic cells involved in protein synthesis and processing, as well as calcium storage and release. Therefore, maintaining the quality of ER is of great importance for cellular homeostasis. Aberrant fluctuations of bioactive species in the ER will result in homeostasis disequilibrium and further cause ER stress, which has evolved to contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases. Therefore, the real-time monitoring of various bioactive species in the ER is of high priority to ascertain the mysterious roles of ER, which will contribute to unveiling the corresponding mechanism of organism disturbances. Recently, fluorescence imaging has emerged as a robust technique for the direct visualization of molecular events due to its outstanding sensitivity, high temporal-spatial resolution and noninvasive nature. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent progress in design strategies, bioimaging applications, potential directions and challenges of ER-targetable small-molecular fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Advances in developing organic fluorescent probes and fluorescence imaging techniques have enhanced our understanding of cell biology. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a dynamic structure that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, post-translational modifications, and lipid metabolism. The malfunction of ER contributes to several physiological and pathological conditions. Therefore, the investigations on the imaging and role of ER have attracted a lot of attention. Due to their simplicity, synthetic tunability, photostability, high quantum yields, easier cellular uptake, and lower cytotoxicity, organic fluorophores offer invaluable tools for the precision targeting of various cellular organelles and probe ER dynamics. The precision staining is made possible by incorporating specific functional groups having preferential and local organelle biomolecular interactions. For instance, functional moieties such as methyl sulfonamide, sulfonylurea, and pentafluorophenyl assist in ER targeting and thus have become essential tools to probe a deeper understanding of their dynamics. Furthermore, dual-function fluorescent probes that simultaneously image ER and detect specific physiological parameters or biological analytes were achieved by introducing special recognition or chemically reactive sites. This article attempts to comprehensively capture various design strategies currently employed by researchers utilizing small organic molecules to target the ER and detect specific analytes.

Abstract
Light-triggered carbon monoxide (CO) delivery molecules are of significant current interest for evaluating the role of CO in biology and as potential therapeutics. Herein we report the first example of a metal free CO delivery molecule that can be tracked via confocal microscopy at low micromolar concentrations in cells prior to CO release. The NEt2-appended extended flavonol (4) localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and lysosomes. Subcellular localization of 4 results in CO-induced toxicity effects that are distinct as compared to a nonlocalized analog. Anti-inflammatory effects of 4, as measured by TNF-α suppression, occur at the nanomolar level in the absence of CO release, and are enhanced with visible-light-induced CO release. Overall, the highly trackable nature of 4 enables studies of the biological effects of both a localized flavonol and CO release at low micromolar to nanomolar concentrations.
