研究目的
Investigating the use of amphiphilic fluorine-containing block copolymers as carriers for hydrophobic PtTFPP for dissolved oxygen sensing, cell respiration monitoring, and in vivo hypoxia imaging with high quantum efficiency and long lifetime.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that using well-designed fluoropolymers to load PtTFPP could achieve high oxygen sensing properties and long lifetime, showing great capability for further in vivo sensing and imaging. The fluorine-containing micelles exhibited greater oxygen sensitivity and longer phosphorescence lifetime than the micelles formed from fluorine-free block copolymers.
研究不足
The study focused on the synthesis and application of amphiphilic fluorine-containing block copolymers for oxygen sensing and imaging. Potential limitations include the specificity of the polymers to certain biological environments and the need for further optimization for broader applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of amphiphilic star or multi-arm block copolymers through the Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) method using hydrophilic 4-arm polyethylene glycol (4-arm-PEG) as an initiator. The structure-property relationship was investigated among five block copolymers, with and without fluorine-containing moieties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study used hydrophobic oxygen probe PtTFPP, Escherichia coli (E. coli) JM109, macrophage cell J774A.1, and tumor-bearing mice for in vivo hypoxia imaging.
3:4A.1, and tumor-bearing mice for in vivo hypoxia imaging. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Materials included PtTFPP, hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA), styrene, tri?uoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA), 4-arm-PEG-OH, and others. Instruments included Water 1515 gel permeation chromatography (GPC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), fluorescence spectrofluorophotometer, and a plate reader.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis of block copolymers, preparation of micelles with PtTFPP, determination of critical micelle concentrations, quantum efficiency determination, response to oxygen, response time measurement, phosphorescence lifetime determination, E. coli culture, cell culture, and in vivo imaging were performed.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzed the photophysical properties of the micelles, oxygen sensing properties, and the application of the sensors for monitoring cellular respiration and in vivo hypoxia imaging.
