A highly sensitive, cell-membrane-permeable fluorescent probe for glutathione
摘要:
Glutathione (GSH) is a primary intracellular antioxidant. Here, we developed a novel, highly sensitive fluorescent probe for GSH, designated DNs-HMRG, whose fluorescence is regulated by two distinct switching mechanisms, intramolecular spirocyclization and photo-induced electron transfer (PeT). DNs-HMRG showed good cell permeability, and a rapid increase in fluorescence intensity was observed when it was applied to living cells. Further, taking advantage of the fact that the intracellular GSH level in tumor tissue is higher than that in normal tissue, we employed this probe for rapid (within a few tens of seconds) in vivo detection of tiny tumor nodules (less than 1 mm in diameter) in tumor-bearing mice. This probe is expected be a powerful tool in various biological applications, especially studies on redox status. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
