We report a mitochondria-specific glutathione (GSH) probe-designated as Mito-RealThiol (MitoRT)-that can monitor in vivo real-time mitochondrial glutathione dynamics, and apply this probe to follow mitochondrial GSH dynamic changes in living cells for the first time. MitoRT can be utilized in confocal microscopy, super-resolution fluorescence imaging, and flow cytometry systems. Using MitoRT, we demonstrate that cells have a high priority to maintain the GSH level in mitochondria compared to the cytosol not only under normal growing conditions but also upon oxidative stress.
我们报告了一种线粒体特异性谷胱甘肽(GSH)探针——命名为线粒体实时硫醇(Mito-RealThiol,MitoRT),它可以监测体内线粒体谷胱甘肽的实时动态变化,并首次将该探针应用于追踪活细胞中线粒体谷胱甘肽的动态变化。MitoRT可用于共聚焦显微镜、超分辨率荧光成像和流式细胞术系统。使用MitoRT,我们证明,不仅在正常生长条件下,而且在氧化应激时,与细胞质相比,细胞都高度优先维持线粒体中的谷胱甘肽水平。
