Two-Photon Fluorescent Turn-On Probe for Lipid Rafts in Live Cell and Tissue
摘要:
We report a new two-photon fluorescence turn-on probe 6-[(E)-3-oxo-1-dodecenyl]-2-[N-methyl-N-(carboxymethyl)amino]naphthalene (CL2) that is designed specifically for visualizing lipid rafts in living cells and tissues. This probe emits much brighter two-photon excited fluorescence in lipid rafts than in non-raft domains and allows direct visualization of the lipid rafts in the live cells and pyramidal neuron layer of the CA1 region at a depth of 100-250 mu m in live tissues using two-photon microscopy.

Two-photon dyes for real-time imaging of lipid rafts are provided. The two-photon dyes emit fluorescence with high intensity in the environments of cell membranes and can be used to clearly discriminate the hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains of the cell membranes. Therefore, the use of the two-photon dyes enables satisfactory imaging of actual lipid raft domains. In addition, since the two-photon dyes show no cytotoxicity, they can be suitably used in bioimaging applications, for example, real-time imaging of lipid rafts over a long period of time.
