Abstract
Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes induced liver injury (DLI) may progress to irreversible outcomes without timely intervention. It is highly beneficial to the development of a simple and rapid method for the early and accurate diagnosis of DLI. In this study, we developed an activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DCIP-ONOO) based on a dicyanoisophorone-xanthene scaffold, for monitoring and therapeutic evaluation of DLI via Peroxynitrite (ONOO−) imaging. Upon the addition of ONOO−, DCIP-ONOO exhibited a 27.6-fold fluorescence enhancement at 770 nm with an excellent selectivity, fast responsiveness, and a low limit of detection (119.6 nmol/L). In vitro imaging experiments confirmed that it was capable of being employed for the sensitive detection of ONOO−. More significantly, in a diabetic mice model, DCIP-ONOO was successfully used to achieve in vivo imaging of DLI and to monitor metformin-mediated symptom alleviation without causing any organ damages. These results established DCIP-ONOO as a potential tool for effective tracking of ONOO− during diabetic hepatotoxicity.
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.
