The diagnosis and prognosis of the disease associated with lipid irregularity are areas of extreme significance. In this direction, fluoranthene based yellow fluorescent probes (FLUN-550, FLUN-552, FLUN-547) were designed and synthesized by conjugating the ethanolamine headgroup of the phospholipid phosphatidyl-ethanolamine present in biological membranes. Owing to unique photophysical properties and aqueous compatibility, these probes were successfully employed for staining lipid droplets (LDs) in preadipocytes and Leishmania donovani promastigotes. Furthermore, using the fluorescent probes FLUN-550 and FLUN-552 we successfully imaged and quantitatively detected the excess accumulation of lipids in a liver section of Plasmodium yoelii MDR infected mice (3- to 4-fold) and the tissue sections of third stage human cervical cancer patients (1.5- to 2-fold) compared to normal tissues. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of yellow fluorescent probes for imaging and quantitative detection of LDs in human cervical cancer tissues. These new yellow fluorescent lipid probes (FLUN-550 and FLUN-552) showed great potential for diagnosis of cervical cancer patients.
与脂质异常相关的疾病的诊断和预后是极其重要的领域。在此方向上,通过结合存在于生物膜中的磷脂磷脂酰乙醇胺的乙醇胺头部基团,设计并合成了基于荧蒽的黄色荧光探针(FLUN-550、FLUN-552、FLUN-547)。由于其独特光物理特性和水溶性,这些探针成功用于前脂肪细胞和利什曼原虫前鞭毛体中脂滴的染色。此外,利用荧光探针FLUN-550和FLUN-552,我们成功成像并定量检测了恶性疟原虫耐多药小鼠肝切片中脂质过量积累(3至4倍)以及第三阶段人宫颈癌组织切片中的脂质积累(1.5至2倍),相较于正常组织。据我们所知,这是首次报道用于成像和定量检测人宫颈癌组织中脂滴的黄色荧光探针。这些新型黄色荧光脂质探针(FLUN-550和FLUN-552)在宫颈癌患者的诊断中展现出巨大潜力。
