چکیده
A highly stable, long wavelength polarity sensitive probe, 8-nitrophenyl-3,5-dipiperidine-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (NPBDP), was developed for living cell imaging of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy.

Spectrofluorometric studies of the lipid probe, nile red.
We found that the dye nile red, 9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[alpha]phenoxazine-5-one, can be applied as a fluorescent vital stain for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry (J. Cell. Biol. 1985. 100: 965-973). To understand the selectivity of the staining, we examined the fluorescence properties of nile red in the presence of organic solvent...
متن کاملLight-triggered release from dye-loaded fluorescent lipid nanocarriers in vitro and in vivo.
Light is an attractive trigger for release of active molecules from nanocarriers in biological systems. Here, we describe a phenomenon of light-induced release of a fluorescent dye from lipid nano-droplets under visible light conditions. Using auto-emulsification process we prepared nanoemulsion droplets of 32nm size encapsulating the hydrophobic analogue of Nile Red, NR668. While these nano-dr...
متن کاملA new type of biocompatible fluorescent probe AFN for fixed and live cell imaging of intracellular lipid droplets.
We discovered a new class of nontoxic, highly fluorogenic and biocompatible probe AFN for selective staining of intracellular Lipid Droplets (LDs) in both fixed and live human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes without any background artifacts. The salient features of the probe are its visible excitation maximum, aqueous compatibility, selectivity and remarkable stability (f...
متن کاملHydrophobic sequences target and anchor perilipin A to lipid droplets.
Perilipins regulate triacylglycerol storage and hydrolysis in adipocytes. The central 25% of the perilipin A sequence, including three hydrophobic sequences (H1, H2, and H3) and an acidic region, targets and anchors perilipins to lipid droplets. Thus, we hypothesized that H1, H2, and H3 are targeting and anchoring motifs. We now show that deletion of any single hydrophobic sequence or combinati...
متن کاملNile red: a selective fluorescent stain for intracellular lipid droplets
We report that the dye nile red, 9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[alpha]phenoxazine-5-one, is an excellent vital stain for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry. The specificity of the dye for lipid droplets was assessed on cultured aortic smooth muscle cells and on cultured peritoneal macrophages that were incubated with acetylated low density...
