The present application relates to the field of
biotechnology, and particularly relates to a fluorescent probe for
targeted detection of lysosomal
calcium ions, and a preparation method and application thereof. The lysosomal
calcium ion fluorescent probe of the present application utilizes a mature
calcium ion chelating group precursor, and introduces a specific
lysosome-targeting fluorescent group in the structure through a
triple bond. Under the action of a hydrolytic
enzyme inside the
lysosome, the calcium
ion chelating group precursor is hydrolyzed, and then chelates with calcium ions, thereby significantly enhancing the
fluorescence signal. The probe effectively avoids the interference of
magnesium ions and an acidic environment, and realizes high specificity targeted imaging of lysosomal calcium ions.
In vitro experiments show that the fluorescent probe can effectively anchor the
lysosome, is not affected by lysosomal calcium leakage, can accurately reflect changes in the lysosomal calcium level, and is suitable for in situ detection of lysosomal calcium
homeostasis. Further, the present application verifies the feasibility of the probe in detecting changes in the lysosomal calcium level
in vivo through acute
lung injury and
pulmonary fibrosis models.
