An eye for an iron: A highly sensitive, selective and reversible turn-on Fe(3+) sensor for imaging labile Fe(3+) in live cells at subcellular resolution is reported. The sensor can respond to changes in intracellular Fe(3+) levels and was used to image endogenous chelatable Fe(3+) in live human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, with two Fe(3+) pools being identified in mitochondria and endosomes/ lysosomes for the first time.
报道了一种高灵敏度、选择性和可逆的铁(III)传感器,可在亚细胞分辨率下对活细胞中不稳定的铁(III)进行成像。该传感器可以响应细胞内铁(III)水平的变化,并用于对活的人神经母细胞瘤 SH-SY5Y 细胞中的内源性可螯合铁(III)进行成像,首次在其中鉴定出线粒体和内体/溶酶体中的两个铁(III)池。
