A novel mitochondria-targeted ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probe (Mito-MQ) for detecting intracellular cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) has been designed. Mito-MQ showed the ratiometric fluorescent detection signal (the green-to-blue emissionfrom 517nm to 460nm) to cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) over glutathione (GSH), along with the fast response rate (10min). The detection mechanism was illustrated by H NMR, ESI-MS and theoretical calculation. The co-localization coefficient of 0.87 between Mito-MQ and MitoTracker Red revealed that the probe was predominantly present in mitochondria, therefore, Mito-MQ was successfully applied to detect mitochondrial oxidative stress by detecting the change of Cys/Hcy. Moreover, imaging in fresh tissue slices indicated that Mito-MQ could work in deep tissue (ca. 130µm) under two-photon excitation. Furthermore, the measurement of Cys/Hcy detection in zebrafish showed that probe can be used in determination of biothiols in vivo.
设计了一种新型的线粒体靶向比率型双光子荧光探针(Mito-MQ),用于检测细胞内半胱氨酸(Cys)和同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)。Mito-MQ 对半胱氨酸(Cys)和同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)具有比率型荧光检测信号(从 517nm 到 460nm 的绿色到蓝色发射),对谷胱甘肽(GSH)具有快速响应速度(10min)。通过 1 H NMR、ESI-MS 和理论计算说明了检测机制。Mito-MQ 与 MitoTracker Red 的共定位系数为 0.87,表明探针主要存在于线粒体中,因此,Mito-MQ 成功地通过检测 Cys/Hcy 的变化来检测线粒体氧化应激。此外,在新鲜组织切片中的成像表明,Mito-MQ 可以在双光子激发下在深部组织(约 130µm)中工作。此外,在斑马鱼中的 Cys/Hcy 检测测量表明,探针可用于体内生物硫醇的测定。
