Latent pH-responsive ratiometric fluorescent cluster based on self-assembled photoactivated SNARF derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a self-assembled fluorescent cluster comprising a seminaphthorhodafluor (SNARF) derivative protected by a photoremovable o-nitrobenzyl group. Prior to UV irradiation, a colorless and nonfluorescent cluster was spontaneously assembled in aqueous solution. After UV irradiation, the self-assembled cluster remained intact and showed a large enhancement in pH-responsive fluorescence. The unique pH responsive fluorescent cluster could be used as a dual-emissive ratiometric fluorescent pH probe not only in the test tube but also in HeLa cell cultures.

Multifunctional self-assembled polymeric nanoprobes for FRET-based ratiometric detection of mitochondrial H2O2 in living cells.
A ratiometric, multifunctional nanoprobe was prepared consisting of a self-assembled polymeric micelle as the carrier, tetraphenylethene (TPE) as the donor, fluorescent boronate as the H2O2-responsive acceptor, and triphenylphosphonium as a mitochondria-targeted moiety. The assembled nanoparticles could detect both exogenous and endogenous mitochondrial H2O2 changes in living cells.
متن کاملIn vivo Imaging of the Peri-Implant pH of dissolving Mg(OH)2 as Novel Scaffold Material in Regenerative Medicine
Introduction The peri-implant pH value is assumed to change after the implantation of biodegradable magnesium implants or the dissolution of its corrosion products [1]. However, the periimplant pH needs to be controlled to obtain an appropriate foreign body reaction, since the local pH value can influence the healing phase [2]. Mg(OH)2 seems to have high potential for scaffolds in regenerative ...
متن کاملApplication of a pH-sensitive fluoroprobe (C-SNARF-4) for pH microenvironment analysis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.
An important feature of microbial biofilms is the development of four-dimensional physical and chemical gradients in space and time. There is need for novel approaches to probe these so-called microenvironments to determine their effect on biofilm-specific processes. In this study, we describe the use of seminaphthorhodafluor-4F 5-(and-6) carboxylic acid (C-SNARF-4) for pH microenvironment anal...
متن کاملDesign of a bioreductively-activated fluorescent pH probe for tumor hypoxia imaging.
We have designed and evaluated UTX-12 as a novel fluorescent pH probe for tumor hypoxia imaging. UTX-12 consists of a p-nitro benzyl moiety, which is a latent hypoxia-selective leaving group activated by nitro reduction, directly linked to SNARF. Although UTX-12 itself is colorless and non-fluorescent in aqueous solution, nitro reduction triggers the release of SNARF which has well-characterize...
متن کاملA Reliable and Non-destructive Method for Monitoring the Stromal pH in Isolated Chloroplasts Using a Fluorescent pH Probe
The proton gradient established by the pH difference across a biological membrane is essential for many physiological processes, including ATP synthesis and ion and metabolite transport. Currently, ionophores are used to study proton gradients, and determine their importance to biological functions of interest. Because of the lack of an easy method for monitoring the proton gradient across the ...
