Nitroreductase Detection and Imaging with a Biotin-Guided Near-Infrared Fluorescent Probe Exhibiting a Large Stokes Shift in Cells, Animal Tumors, and Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury
Quantitative measurement of in vivo hypoxia is crucial for evaluating cancer treatments and diagnostics. We introduce Biotin-XC-NO2, a near-infrared fluorescent probe activated by nitroreductase (NTR), specifically designed to detect NTR activity in hypoxic tumor environments. The probe incorporates a xanthene-based fluorophore with a large Stokes shift and a biotin group to enhance cellular uptake. Upon NTR-mediated reduction of the nitro group, fluorescence increases 50-fold at 640 nm, with a detection limit as low as 0.15 ng/mL. In cellular and animal models, Biotin-XC-NO2 demonstrated high specificity for NTR, enabling real-time imaging in HeLa cells, zebrafish, and tumor-bearing mice. It also identified NTR overexpression in sepsis-induced acute lung injury, highlighting its potential for clinical diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring. Overall, Biotin-XC-NO2 is a promising tool for imaging NTR activity, advancing cancer research and enhancing the understanding of inflammatory diseases.
