研究目的
To develop fluorescent bioprobes for visualizing the interplay between lipid droplets and lysosomes in cells, enabling the monitoring of dynamic processes such as movement and consumption of lipid droplets with high specificity and sensitivity.
研究成果
The developed TPA-BTTDO NPs serve as effective fluorescent bioprobes for visualizing lipid droplet-lysosome interplay, demonstrating high photostability, biocompatibility, and polarity-sensitive dual emissions. They enable real-time monitoring of dynamic processes such as LD movement and consumption, with potential applications in studying metabolism-related diseases. Future work should focus on in vivo validation and broader biological contexts.
研究不足
The study is limited to in vitro cell cultures (HeLa, NIH 3T3, ktr-3 cells) and may not fully represent in vivo conditions. The specificity and mechanisms of probe behavior in different cell types or under various physiological conditions are not extensively explored. Potential optimization could involve testing in animal models or with additional organelle markers to enhance applicability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing and synthesizing a new fluorogenic molecule TPA-BTTDO with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) properties. Nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated by encapsulating TPA-BTTDO within a DSPE-PEG2000 matrix using nanoprecipitation to enhance water dispersibility and biocompatibility for bioimaging applications.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
HeLa cells, NIH 3T3 cells, and ktr-3 cells were used as biological samples. Commercial probes like Lysotracker DND 99, BODIPY, and Mitotracker were employed for colocalization studies.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included a Bruker AV 500 spectrometer for NMR, GCT premier CAB048 mass spectrometer for HRMS, Shimadzu UV-2600 spectrophotometer for UV-vis, Horiba Fluoromax-4 spectrofluorometer for PL, Hamamatsu C11347 Quantaurus_QY for quantum yields, Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope for imaging, Malvern ZSE for DLS, Qsonica Sonicators for nanoparticle preparation, Invitrogen Countess II for cell counting, JEOL JEM-1400 Plus TEM for morphology, and Thermo Fisher microplate reader for MTT assays. Materials included TPA-BTTDO, DSPE-PEG2000, solvents (THF, etc.), cell culture reagents (DMEM, FBS), and inhibitors (e.g., dynasore).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of TPA-BTTDO via Pd-catalyzed coupling, preparation of NPs by mixing TPA-BTTDO and DSPE-PEG2000 in THF, adding water under ultrasound, removing THF with N2, and dialysis. Cell viability was assessed using MTT assay. Cells were incubated with NPs, co-stained with commercial probes, and imaged using CLSM. Internalization kinetics, endocytosis inhibition assays (using low temperature and inhibitors), and time-dependent imaging were performed. Lambda-scanning was used for emission analysis.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Colocalization was quantified using overlap and Pearson correlation coefficients. Statistical analysis of cell viability and photostability was conducted. Spectra were analyzed for emission shifts and quantum yields.
