Abstract
The early diagnosis of cancer is vital for effective treatment and improved prognosis. Tumor biomarkers, which can be used for the early diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic evaluation of cancer, have emerged as a topic of intense research interest in recent years. Nucleic acid, as a type of tumor biomarker, contains vital genetic information, which is of great significance for the occurrence and development of cancer. Currently, living cell nucleic acid probes, which enable the in situ imaging and dynamic monitoring of nucleic acids, have become a rapidly developing field. This review focuses on living cell nucleic acid probes that can be used for the early diagnosis of tumors. We describe the fundamental design of the probe in terms of three units and focus on the roles of different nanomaterials in probe delivery.

Abstract
In non-viscous aqueous solutions, the cyanine fluorescent dyes Cy3 and Cy5 have rather low fluorescence efficiency (the fluorescence quantum yields of Cy3 and Cy5 are 0.04 and 0.3, respectively [1, 2]) and short excited state lifetimes due to their structural features. In this work, we investigated the effect of solubility and rotational degrees of freedom on the fluorescence efficiency of Cy3 and Cy5 in several ways. We compared the fluorescence efficiencies of two cyanine dyes sCy3 and sCy5 with the introduction of a sulfonyl substituent in the aromatic ring as well as covalently bound to T10 oligonucleotides. The results show that because of the different lengths of the polymethine chains between the aromatic rings of the dyes, cis-trans-isomerization has a much greater effect on the Cy3 molecule than on the Cy5 molecule, while the effect of aggregation is also significant.

A new twist on PIFE: photoisomerisation-related fluorescence enhancement. Methods Appl Fluoresc 2023; 12:012001. [PMID: 37726007 PMCID: PMC10570931 DOI: 10.1088/2050-6120/acfb58] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
PIFE was first used as an acronym for protein-induced fluorescence enhancement, which refers to the increase in fluorescence observed upon the interaction of a fluorophore, such as a cyanine, with a protein. This fluorescence enhancement is due to changes in the rate ofcis/transphotoisomerisation. It is clear now that this mechanism is generally applicable to interactions with any biomolecule. In this review, we propose that PIFE is thereby renamed according to its fundamental working principle as photoisomerisation-related fluorescence enhancement, keeping the PIFE acronym intact. We discuss the photochemistry of cyanine fluorophores, the mechanism of PIFE, its advantages and limitations, and recent approaches to turning PIFE into a quantitative assay. We provide an overview of its current applications to different biomolecules and discuss potential future uses, including the study of protein-protein interactions, protein-ligand interactions and conformational changes in biomolecules.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 292:122416. [PMID: 36746042 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Spectral-fluorescent and photochemical properties of trimethine cyanine dyes T-304, T-306, and T-307, having substituents in 6,6'-positions, in various organic solvents, in aqueous buffer solutions, in the presence of surfactants and ethanol additives, and the effect on these properties of addition of DNA have been studied. Strong aggregation of the dyes in aqueous and aqueous buffer solutions has been shown. This is due to increased hydrophobicity of the dyes, which makes it difficult to use them as spectral-fluorescent probes for DNA. In the presence of DNA, trimethine cyanines partially form highly fluorescent complexes of dye monomers with the biomolecule, with slight decomposition of the initial aggregates and the formation of aggregates on DNA molecules. The formation of different types of dye-DNA complexes, i.e., intercalation and binding in the DNA grooves, was modeled by molecular docking. Dye-DNA complexes were also studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy and by thermal dissociation of DNA. To reveal selectivity of the dyes, their interaction with human serum albumin was briefly studied. The presence of moderate concentrations of nonionic surfactants does not lead to a significant decomposition of aggregates, but leads to a biphasic dependence of the fluorescence intensity on the DNA concentration. At the same time, ethanol additives (15%) lead to a more or less linear concentration dependence of the fluorescence intensity, which makes it possible to use these dyes as fluorescent probes for DNA. The effective binding constants of the dyes to DNA and the limits of DNA detection using the dyes in the presence of 15% ethanol were estimated. Photoisomerization and generation of the triplet states of T-304, T-306, and T-307 have been also studied. Along with the fluorescence growth, complexation with DNA leads to an increase in the yield of the triplet states of the dyes. This creates a prerequisite for using the dyes in targeted PDT. In the presence of DNA, the decay kinetics of the triplet states are biexponential, which indicates different types of dye complexes with DNA. The rate constants of oxygen quenching of the triplet states of the dyes bound to DNA are significantly lower than the diffusion-controlled values (taking into account the spin-statistical factor), which is explained by the shielding effect on the triplet molecules in complexes with DNA. The data obtained show that dyes T-304, T-306 and T-307, with addition of 15% ethanol, can be used as possible fluorescent probes for DNA.

Abstract
We propose symmetrical cationic trimethine cyanine dyes with β-substituents in the polymethine chain based on modified benzothiazole and benzoxazole heterocycles as probes for the detection and visualization of live and fixed cells by fluorescence microscopy. The spectral-luminescent properties of trimethine cyanines have been characterized for free dyes and in the presence of nucleic acids (NA) and globular proteins. The studied cyanines are low to moderate fluorescent when free, but in the presence of NA, they show an increase in emission intensity up to 111 times; the most pronounced emission increase was observed for the dyes T-2 in the presence of dsDNA and T-1 with RNA. Spectral methods showed the binding of all dyes to nucleic acids, and different interaction mechanisms have been proposed. The ability to visualize cell components of the studied dyes has been evaluated using different human cell lines (MCF-7, A2780, HeLa, and Hs27). We have shown that all dyes are cell-permeant staining nucleus components, probably RNA-rich nucleoli with background fluorescence in the cytoplasm, except for the dye T-5. The dye T-5 selectively stains some structures in the cytoplasm of MCF-7 and A2780 cells associated with mitochondria or lysosomes. This effect has also been confirmed for the normal type of cell line-human foreskin fibroblasts (Hs27). The costaining of dye T-5 with MitoTracker CMXRos Red demonstrates specificity to mitochondria at a concentration of 0.1 μM. Colocalization analysis has shown signals overlapping of dye T-5 and MitoTracker CMXRos Red (Pearson's Coefficient value = 0.92 ± 0.04). The photostability study shows benzoxazole dyes to be up to ∼7 times more photostable than benzothiazole ones. Moreover, studied benzoxazoles are less cytotoxic at working concentrations than benzothiazoles (67% of cell viability for T-4, T-5 compared to 12% for T-1, and ∼30% for T-2, T-3 after 24 h). Therefore, the benzoxazole T-4 dye is proposed for nucleic acid detection in vitro and intracellular fluorescence imaging of live and fixed cells. In contrast, the benzoxazole dye T-5 is proposed as a good alternative to commercial dyes for mitochondria staining in the green-yellow region of the spectrum.

Photonics of Trimethine Cyanine Dyes as Probes for Biomolecules. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27196367.

Abstract
Cyanine dyes are widely used as fluorescent probes in biophysics and medical biochemistry due to their unique photophysical and photochemical properties (their photonics). This review is focused on a subclass of the most widespread and studied cyanine dyes—trimethine cyanines, which can serve as potential probes for biomolecules. The works devoted to the study of the noncovalent interaction of trimethine cyanine dyes with biomolecules and changing the properties of these dyes upon the interaction are reviewed. In addition to the spectral-fluorescent properties, elementary photochemical properties of trimethine cyanines are considered, including: photoisomerization and back isomerization of the photoisomer, generation and decay of the triplet state, and its quenching by oxygen and other quenchers. The influence of DNA and other nucleic acids, proteins, and other biomolecules on these properties is covered. The interaction of a monomer dye molecule with a biomolecule usually leads to a fluorescence growth, damping of photoisomerization (if any), and an increase in intersystem crossing to the triplet state. Sometimes aggregation of dye molecules on biomolecules is observed. Quenching of the dye triplet state in a complex with biomolecules by molecular oxygen usually occurs with a rate constant much lower than the diffusion limit with allowance for the spin-statistical factor 1/9. The practical application of trimethine cyanines in biophysics and (medical) biochemistry is also considered. In conclusion, the prospects for further studies on the cyanine dye–biomolecule system and the development of new effective dye probes (including probes of a new type) for biomolecules are discussed.

Abstract
As a functional dye, cyanine dye promotes the widespread application of bioprobes in the fields of medicine, genetics and environment, owing to its advantages of good photophysical properties, excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity to biological systems. Nowadays, it is mainly used in the fields of life sciences such as fluorescent labeling of biological macromolecules, disease diagnosis, immunoassay and DNA detection, all of which lie at the core of this review. First, we briefly introduced the characteristics and principles of the cyanine dye bioprobe. Afterward, we paid attention to the recent progress of cyanine dye bioprobes widely used in the 10 years from 2010 to 2020. The application of cyanine dyes as bioprobes with different identification elements, including enzymes, organelles, immunity and DNAs, was mainly summarized. Finally, this review gave an outlook on the future development trend of cyanine dye bioprobes. This facilitates the construction of a new type of multifunctional fluorescent probe and promotes its clinical application.

Abstract
Variation of DNA conformation is important in regulating gene expression and mediating drug-DNA interactions. However, directly probing transient DNA conformation changes is challenging owing to the dynamic nature of this process. We show a label-free fluorescence method to monitor transient DNA conformation changes in DNA structures with various lengths and shapes using a DNA intercalator, K21. K21 can form transient excimers on the surface of DNA; the ratiometric emission of monomer and excimer correlate to DNA transient conformation stability in numerous DNA structures, including i-motifs, G-quadruplex structures, and single nucleotide mutation at random position. We analyzed the conformation dynamics of a single plasmid before and after enzyme digestion with confocal fluorescence microscopy. This method provides a label-free fluorescence strategy to probe transient conformation changes of DNA structures and has potential in uncovering transient genomic processes in living cells.

Abstract
The noncovalent interaction of the polymethine dye probe 3,3',9-trimethylthiacarbocyanine iodide (Cyan 2) with chondroitin-4-sulfate (C4S) in buffer solutions with different pH and in water in the absence of buffers has been studied by spectral-fluorescent methods. It has been shown that in all media studied, at relatively high concentrations, the dye is bound to C4S mainly as a monomer, which is accompanied by a steep rise of fluorescence (the intermediate formation of dye aggregates on the biopolymer is also observed). From the dependence of the fluorescence quantum yield on the concentration of C4S, the parameters of binding of the dye monomer to C4S were obtained: the effective binding constant K, the number of the monomeric C4S units n per one dye monomer bound to C4S, and the fluorescence quantum yield of the bound dye monomer Φfb. The dependence of Φfb (and K) on рН of the medium is not monotonic: it has a minimum in the region of neutral pH and a growth in the regions of acid and basic pH. This can be explained by changing the charge of a C4S macromolecule as a function of pH and related conformational alterations in the biopolymer, which can affect the rigidity of a dye molecule and the energy of its interaction with the biopolymer.

Abstract
Asymmetric monomethine cyanines have been extensively used as probes for nucleic acids among other biological systems. Herein we report the synthesis of seven monomethine cyanine dyes that have been successfully prepared with various heterocyclic moieties such as quinoline, benzoxazole, benzothiazole, dimethyl indole, and benz[e]indole adjoining benz[c,d]indol-1-ium, which was found to directly influence their optical and energy profiles. In this study the optical properties vs. structural changes were investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance and computational approaches. The twisted conformation unique to monomethine cyanines was exploited in DNA binding studies where the newly designed sensor displayed an increase in fluorescence when bound in the DNA grooves compared to the unbound form.

Abstract
Synthetic minor groove-binding pyrrole-imidazole polyamides labeled by fluorophores are promising candidates for fluorescence imaging of double-stranded DNA in isolated chromosomes or fixed and living cells. We synthesized nine hairpin and two head-to-head tandem polyamides targeting repeated sequences from mouse major satellites. Their interaction with synthetic target dsDNA has been studied by physico-chemical methods in vitro before and after coupling to various fluorophores. Great variability in affinities and fluorescence properties reveals a conclusion that these properties do not only rely on recognition rules, but also on other known and unknown structural factors. Individual testing of each probe is needed before cellular applications.

Abstract
The interaction of drugs and dyes with nucleic acids, particularly when binding to DNA minor groove occurs, has increasing importance in biomedical sciences. This is due to the resulting biological activity and to the possibility of recognizing AT and GC base pairs. In such cases, DNA binding can be predicted if appropriate helical and hydrogen-bonding parameters are deduced from DNA models, and a simplified geometrical rule in the form of a stencil is then applied on computer-drawn molecules of interest. Relevant structure parameter values for minor groove binders are the length (4.6 < L < 5.4 Å) and angle (152 < σ < 156.5°) between three consecutive units, measured at the level of hydrogen donor or acceptor groups. Application of the stencil shows that predictive methods can aid in the design of new compounds, by checking the possible binding of isohelical sequence-specific ligands along the DNA minor groove.

Abstract
This review analyses the literature concerning non-fluorescent and fluorescent probes for nucleic acid imaging in fixed and living cells from the point of view of their suitability for imaging intracellular native RNA and DNA. Attention is mainly paid to fluorescent probes for fluorescence microscopy imaging. Requirements for the target-binding part and the fluorophore making up the probe are formulated. In the case of native double-stranded DNA, structure-specific and sequence-specific probes are discussed. Among the latest, three classes of dsDNA-targeting molecules are described: (i) sequence-specific peptides and proteins; (ii) triplex-forming oligonucleotides and (iii) polyamide oligo(N-methylpyrrole/N-methylimidazole) minor groove binders. Polyamides seem to be the most promising targeting agents for fluorescent probe design, however, some technical problems remain to be solved, such as the relatively low sequence specificity and the high background fluorescence inside the cells. Several examples of fluorescent probe applications for DNA imaging in fixed and living cells are cited. In the case of intracellular RNA, only modified oligonucleotides can provide such sequence-specific imaging. Several approaches for designing fluorescent probes are considered: linear fluorescent probes based on modified oligonucleotide analogs, molecular beacons, binary fluorescent probes and template-directed reactions with fluorescence probe formation, FRET donor-acceptor pairs, pyrene excimers, aptamers and others. The suitability of all these methods for living cell applications is discussed.

Abstract
Here we report the synthesis of seven symmetrical carbocyanine dyes in which two nitrogen-substituted benz[e]indolium rings are joined by a pentamethine bridge that is meso-substituted with chlorine or bromine versus hydrogen. The heteroatom of benz[e]indolium is modified with a phenylpropyl, methyl, or cationic quaternary ammonium group. In reactions containing micro molar concentrations of halogenated dye, irradiation at 575, 588, 623, or 700nm produces good photocleavage of plasmid DNA. UV-visible spectra show that the carbocyanines are in their H-aggregated and monomeric forms. Scavenger experiments point to the involvement of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals in DNA photocleavage.

Abstract
A new naphthalimide modified polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles (called NPEI-NPs) was synthesized and applied as fluorescent probe for rapid, selective and sensitive fluorometric detection of trace DNA. The synthesis involved the covalent modification of PEI with 4-butylamino-N-carboxymethyl-1,8-naphthalimide(BACMN) for getting amphiphilic polymer. Then the amphiphilic polymer was self-assembled in water to give the NPEI-NPs. NPEI-NPs was soluble in water and emitted fluorescence at 545 nm with exciting at 460 nm. The fluorescence spectra resulting from the interaction between NPEI-NPs and DNA indicated that the fluorescence of NPEI-NPs increased in the present of DNA. Therefore, a fluorescence enhancement method was developed for the determination of trace fish sperm DNA (fsDNA) and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA). Under the optimal conditions, the calibration curves were linear over the concentration ranges of 0.05-2.8 μg/mL for fsDNA and 0.08-3.0μg/mL for ctDNA. The detection limits for fsDNA and ctDNA were 1.6 and 2.0 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed method has been employed to quantify DNA in synthetic samples with the satisfactory results.

Abstract
Melatonin and its derivatives modulate the Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium chabaudi cell cycle. Flow cytometry was employed together with the nucleic acid dye YOYO-1 allowing precise discrimination between mono- and multinucleated forms of P. falciparum-infected red blood cell. The use of YOYO-1 permitted excellent discrimination between uninfected and infected red blood cells as well as between early and late parasite stages. Fluorescence intensities of schizont-stage parasites were about 10-fold greater than those of ring-trophozoite form parasites. Melatonin and related indolic compounds including serotonin, N-acetyl-serotonin and tryptamine induced an increase in the percentage of multinucleated forms compared to non-treated control cultures. YOYO-1 staining of infected erythrocyte and subsequent flow cytometry analysis provides a powerful tool in malaria research for screening of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Two of earlier reported dsDNA sensitive cyanine dyes-monomethine Cyan 40 and meso-substituted trimethine Cyan 2 were studied for their ability to interact with non-canonical DNA conformations. These dyes were characterized by spectral-luminescent methods in the presence of G-quadruplex, triplex and dsDNA motifs. We have demonstrated that Cyan 2 binds strongly and preferentially to triple- and quadruple-stranded DNA forms that results in a strong enhancement of the dye fluorescence, as compared to dsDNA, while Cyan 40 form fluorescent complexes preferentially only with the triplex form. Highly fluorescent complexes of Cyan 2 with DNA triplexes and G-quadruplexes and Cyan 40 with DNA triplexes are very stable and do not dissociate during gel electrophoresis, leading to preferential staining of the above DNA forms in gels. The data presented point to the intercalation mechanism of the Cyan 2 binding to G4-DNA, while the complexes of Cyan 40 and Cyan 2 with triplex DNA are believed to be formed via groove binding mode. The Cyan dyes can provide a highly sensitive method for detection and quantification of non-canonical structures in genome.
