Abstract
Verifying the fluctuations of reactive oxidative species in the Golgi apparatus (GA) is crucial to investigate the pathology in inflammation. In this work, we present a fluorescent probe GA-PBC based on the phenothiazine-coumarin chromophore with a benzenesulfonamide unit as the GA target. GA-PBC manifests a red fluorescence peak at 620 nm, while it shifts to 510 nm upon reaction with HOCl, thus facilitating a ratiometric sensing manner. The probe shows high selectivity, superb sensitivity (limit of detection: 85.8 nM), rapid response (within seconds), and predominant accumulation in the GA. Intracellular imaging tests demonstrates the ability of GA-PBC to indicate the concentration changes of HOCl in live cells. Especially, it can be utilized to identify the active ingredients of Dachengqi Decoction (a kind of Traditional Chinese Medicine formula) in inflamed cells using HOCl in the GA as biomarker, suggesting that this probe is potentially useful for the evaluation of anti-oxidation efficacy of natural medicine.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
