Bright red-emitting highly reliable styryl probe with large stokes shift for visualizing mitochondria in live cells under wash-free conditions
摘要： Bright red-emitting pyridinium cyanine based styryl probe 2 is synthesized in good yields. Probe 2 demonstrated a large Stokes’ shift (Δλ ≈ 128 nm, 4227 cm-1 in DCM) and excellent fluorescent quantum yield (?fl ≈ 0.2 - 0.7) due to strong Intra-molecular charge transfer (ICT). Probe 2 found to exhibit exceptional selectivity for cellular mitochondria in both normal (COS-7) and cancer (A549) cell lines. Probe 2 is readily applicable as a “wash-free” dye to visualize mitochondria as it does not require post-staining washing prior to imaging. Styryl probe 2 also showed an excellent biocompatibility as the calculated LC50 (lethal concentration, 50%) value was > 20 μM. Probe 2 emission did not show any interferences from anionic species or other biological molecules. Probe 2 is readily excitable (λex ~460 and λem ~618 nm) with the available laser (454 nm) in commercial microscopes and thus it can be a useful probe for mitochondrial tracking in live cells.

Ethyl violet–bovine serum albumin fluorescent protein nanovessels target to lysosomes and mitochondria
摘要： Aim: Organelles are essential in maintaining homeostasis of mammalian cells. Monitoring the morphology and dynamics of organelles is of significance in cell state determination and disease diagnosis. Materials & methods: We describe here a new material called ethyl violet–bovine serum albumin fluorescent protein nanovessel (EV–BSA FPN). Upon heating, BSA was denatured to form higher polyhedral structures, which was prone to EV binding. These dye–protein hybrid materials were red fluorescence emissive upon excitation. Results: EV–BSA FPNs can be readily internalized by mammalian cells and dual localized in lysosomes and mitochondria. Besides, EV–BSA FPN can serve as carriers and efficiently deliver drug into cells. Conclusion: EV–BSA FPNs can be dual function fluorescent vessels for both dual-organelle imaging and drug delivery.

Enhancement of corneal epithelium cell survival, proliferation and migration by red light: Relevance to corneal wound healing
摘要： The aim of the present study was to analyse how short wave blue and long wave red light differentially affect corneal epithelial (HCE-2) cells in culture. The corneal epithelium in situ is exposed to more blue light than in the past because of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used for indoor lighting and computer, television and phone screens. Compared with cultures maintained in the dark, low intensity blue light, such as that emitted from computer screens, reduced the proliferation rate of HCE-2 cells and caused cell death at greater intensities in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, red light at high intensity slightly enhanced the proliferation rates of HCE-2 cells and importantly blunted the negative influence of blue light on cell survival when delivered after the insult. The toxic influence of blue light on HCE-2 cells involves mitochondrial dysfunction and the activation of AIF, p38-MAPK and HO-1. Importantly, red light blocks the effects caused by blue light and enhances mitochondrial function when delivered independently. The mechanism of action of red light is to directly stimulate mitochondrial function, suggested by staining with JC-1, which results in the activation of multiple biochemical mechanisms and the ability to blunt a variety of death pathways. As a consequence, even sodium azide-induced toxicity to HCE-2 cells in culture is blunted by red light. We interpret our studies on HCE-2 cell cultures to suggest that red light can be used prophylactically to protect the corneal epithelial in situ and is also able to counteract a variety of potential environmental insults to the tissue that includes blue light. This might be of particular significance when the cornea is already affected as, for example, in dry eye.

Hydrophilic, Red-Emitting, and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitter for Time-Resolved Luminescence Imaging by Mitochondrion-Induced Aggregation in Living Cells
摘要： Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have provided new strategies for time-resolved luminescence imaging (TRLI); however, the development of hydrophilic TADF luminophores for specific imaging in cells remains a substantial challenge. In this study, a mitochondria-induced aggregation strategy for TRLI is proposed with the design and utilization of the hydrophilic TADF luminophore ((10-(1,3-dioxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-6-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridin-2-yl)methyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (NID-TPP). Using a nonconjugated linker to introduce a triphenylphosphonium (TPP+) group into the 6-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)-2-phenyl-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (NID) TADF luminophore preserves the TADF emission of NID-TPP. NID-TPP shows clear aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence enhancement behavior, which provides a practical strategy for long-lived delayed fluorescence emission in an oxygen-containing environment. Finally, the designed mitochondrion-targeting TPP+ group in NID-TPP induces the adequate accumulation of NID-TPP and results in the first reported TADF-based time-resolved luminescence imaging and two-photon imaging of mitochondria in living cells.

Histology and antitumor activity study of PTX-loaded micelle, a fluorescent drug delivery system prepared by PEG-TPP
摘要： We synthesized PEG-TPP as carrier to encapsulate paclitaxel (PTX) in the form of micelles to overcome its water-solubility problem. PTX-loaded micelles possess a-week stability and appropriate particle size (152.1±1.2 nm) which is beneficial for enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Strong pH dependence of PTX releasing from micelles is verified by in vitro release study. At cellular level, PTX-loaded micelles can target mitochondria effectively which may results a better cytotoxicity of micelles (especially IC50 = 0.123±0.035 μmol/L of micelles and 0.298±0.067 μmol/L of PTX alone on MCF-7 cells). The fluorescence distributions of both isolated and sliced organs show that the micelles can effectively target tumors. Moreover, we further prove the enhanced therapeutic effects of micelles in tumor-bearing mice comparing with PTX alone. The results show that the biodegradable drug delivery system prepared by PEG-TPP can overcome the poor solubility of paclitaxel and improve its tumor targeting and antitumor activity.

A novel “turn-on” mitochondria-targeting near-infrared fluorescent probe for H2S detection and in living cells imaging
摘要： Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been considered to be involved in cytoprotective processes and redox signaling. It is very meaningful to track and analyze it in mitochondria. Herein, we report a novel “turn-on” mitochondria-targeting near-infrared fluorescent probe (Mito-NIR-SH) for detection of H2S in living cells, which was designed and synthesized by introducing 2,4-dinitrophenyl as fluorescence quenching group and H2S response moiety into Changsha near-infrared fluorophore (CS-OH). The structure of the fluorophore and the probe were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectrometry. Meanwhile, Mito-NIR-SH could quantitatively detect H2S at concentrations ranging from 0 to 30 μM with a detection limit as low as 89.3 nM, showing good chemical stability, fast “turn-on” response, selectively mitochondrial location, as well as high sensitivity and selectivity toward H2S. Based on this, it was successfully applied to imaging exogenous and endogenous H2S in living HeLa cells via confocal fluorescence microscopy.

Photobiomodulation Preconditioning Prevents Cognitive Impairment in a Neonatal Rat Model of Hypoxia-ischemia
摘要： Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) injury caused by oxygen deprivation is the most common cause of mortality and severe neurologic deficits in neonates. The present work evaluated the preventative effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) preconditioning, and its underlying mechanism of action on brain damage in a HI model in neonatal rats. According to the optimal time response of ATP levels in brain samples removed from normal rats, a PBM preconditioning regimen (808 nm CW laser, 1 cm2 spot, 100 mW/cm2, 12 J/cm2) was delivered to the scalp 6 hours before HI. PBM preconditioning significantly attenuated cognitive impairment, volume shrinkage in the brain, neuron loss, dendritic and synaptic injury after HI. Further mechanistic investigation found that PBM preconditioning could restore HI-induced mitochondrial dynamics and inhibit mitochondrial fragmentation, followed by a robust suppression of cytochrome c release, and prevention of neuronal apoptosis by inhibition of caspase activation. Our work suggests that PBM preconditioning can attenuate HI-induced brain injury by maintaining mitochondrial dynamics and inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

Extreme-Learning-Machine-Based Noniterative and Iterative Nonlinearity Mitigation for LED Communication Systems
摘要： Oxidation of substrates to generate ATP in mitochondria is mediated by redox reactions of NADH and FADH2. Cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury compromises mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. We hypothesize that IR alters the metabolic heterogeneity of mitochondrial redox state of the heart that is only evident in the 3-D optical cryoimaging of the perfused heart before, during, and after IR. The study involved four groups of hearts: time control (TC: heart perfusion without IR), global ischemia (Isch), global ischemia followed by reperfusion (IR) and TC with PCP (a mitochondrial uncoupler) perfusion. Mitochondrial NADH and FAD autofluorescence signals were recorded spectrofluorometrically online in guinea pig ex vivo-perfused hearts in the Langendorff mode. At the end of each specified protocol, hearts were rapidly removed and snap frozen in liquid N2 for later 3-D optical cryoimaging of the mitochondrial NADH, FAD, and NADH/FAD redox ratio (RR). The TC hearts revealed a heterogeneous spatial distribution of NADH, FAD, and RR. Ischemia and IR altered the spatial distribution and caused an overall increase and decrease in the RR by 55% and 64%, respectively. Uncoupling with PCP resulted in the lowest level of the RR (73% oxidation) compared with TC. The 3-D optical cryoimaging of the heart provides novel insights into the heterogeneous distribution of mitochondrial NADH, FAD, RR, and metabolism from the base to the apex during ischemia and IR. This 3-D information of the mitochondrial redox state in the normal and ischemic heart was not apparent in the dynamic spectrofluorometric data.

Selective Visualization of Live-Cell Mitochondrial Thiophenols and Their Induced Oxidative Stress Process by a Rationally Designed Rhodol-Based Fluorescent Probe
摘要： Mitochondria as cellular powerhouses are the preferential targets affected by thiophenols, an important class of highly toxic environmental pollutants, and are linked to the production of pathogenic reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by trace thiophenol residues. For real-time and accurate sensing, it is critically important to develop highly sensitive fluorescent probes for the specific detection of mitochondrial thiophenols. Herein, we report the first mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe (ROAL) to image thiophenols in living cells. The development of ROAL was based on a novel red-emitting rhodol derivative (ROAP). ROAL proved to be highly selective to thiophenols among various analytes including aliphatic thiols, and renders an ultrasensitive off-on fluorescence response to thiophenols with a remarkable detection limit (8.1 nM). The probe efficiently stains mitochondria with a high Pearson’s co-localization coefficient (0.95) using Mito Tracker Green FM as reference, thereby ensuring the specific detection of mitochondrial thiophenols in living HepG2 and HeLa cells. In particular, using this probe we for the first time proved that endogenous reactive oxygen species have the capacity to eliminate thiophenols in living cells, suggesting that thiophenols might induce cellular oxidative stress.
