Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by excessive reactive halogen species leading to the death of dopaminergic (DA) neurons, which disrupts the coordination of normal physiological structures and functions. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a reactive halogen species whose overproduction is associated with the death of DA neurons. Herein, overproduction of HOCl may be a neurotoxin substance in the pathogenesis of PD. Therefore, it is essential to understand the disease of HOCl in PD model. However, early detection HOCl in PD model remains lacking of effective methods. In this study, a high sensitivity off–on near-infrared probe (MB-HOCl) was designed and synthesized. MB-HOCl showed a quantitative response toward HOCl (0–100 μM) with detection limit of 0.32 μM. Importantly, MB-HOCl was capable of selectively and specially detecting exogenous and endogenous HOCl in PC-12 cells and was successfully used for imaging in PD mice models. All results demonstrate that the probe (MB-HOCl) holds great promise for understanding the disease and diagnosis of HOCl-mediated PD models.
期刊介绍:
Methods focuses on rapidly developing techniques in the experimental biological and medical sciences.
Each topical issue, organized by a guest editor who is an expert in the area covered, consists solely of invited quality articles by specialist authors, many of them reviews. Issues are devoted to specific technical approaches with emphasis on clear detailed descriptions of protocols that allow them to be reproduced easily. The background information provided enables researchers to understand the principles underlying the methods; other helpful sections include comparisons of alternative methods giving the advantages and disadvantages of particular methods, guidance on avoiding potential pitfalls, and suggestions for troubleshooting.
