Embodiment 1

[0041] The preparation method of carbon dots, concrete steps are as follows:

[0042] Dissolve semicarbazide hydrochloride (0.0270 g) and m-phenylenediamine (0.0170 g) in absolute ethanol (3 ml) to prepare a precursor mixture. After sonicating for five minutes, the mixture was transferred to a Teflon-lined In a high pressure reactor. Subsequently, the autoclave was placed in an oven and heated to reflux at 180° C. for 12 hours. Wait for the reaction kettle to cool down to room temperature naturally to obtain a brown solution, and then use dichloromethane and methanol as eluents to purify the obtained solution by silica gel column chromatography. The organic solvent in the obtained carbon dot solution was removed with a rotary evaporator to obtain a carbon dot solid. Dissolve the carbon dots solid in DMSO to obtain a stock solution of carbon dots at a concentration of 2 mg / mL.

Embodiment 2

[0044] The stability research of carbon dots on common metal ions and amino acids in cells, the specific steps are as follows:

[0045] A certain amount of carbon dot stock solution was added to the PBS buffer solution to make the concentration 10 μg / mL, and a certain amount of metal ions and amino acids were added to make the concentrations of metal ions and amino acids 100 μM and 1 mM. The resulting solution was transferred to a fluorescence cuvette, and the fluorescence intensity was measured with a fluorescence spectrophotometer. Such as figure 1 As shown, after adding metal ions or amino acids, the fluorescence intensity of carbon dots did not change significantly, indicating that carbon dots have good stability to common metal ions and amino acids in cells.

Embodiment 3

[0049] The rapid cell imaging research of carbon dots, the specific steps are as follows:

[0050] HepG2 cells were seeded in confocal culture dishes at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 , in a cell culture incubator with saturated humidity for 24 h (the cell culture medium contains DMEM high-glucose medium, 10% volume fraction of gibco serum, 100 μg / mL penicillin and 100 μg / mL streptomycin); the carbon dot solution Add it to a confocal culture dish to make the final concentration 4 μg / mL, excite it with a light source with an excitation wavelength of 458nm, perform confocal imaging, and observe the time when carbon dots enter the cells. Such as image 3 As shown, after the carbon dots were co-incubated with the cells for 5 minutes, the entire nucleus showed green fluorescence, which indicated that the carbon dots had easily penetrated the cell membrane and entered the nucleus. As time increased, the fluorescence of the nucleus gradually increased and reached 25 It reaches a plateau in about 1...

Abstract

The invention provides a cell nucleus targeting carbon dot, preparation and an application thereof, m-phenylenediamine and semicarbazide hydrochloride are used as raw materials, absolute ethyl alcohol is used as a solvent, and the cell nucleus targeting carbon dot is synthesized through a one-step solvothermal method. The novel cell nucleus targeting fluorescent carbon dot with ROS stability is successfully synthesized, has the advantages of being short in cell entry time, good in light stability, high in chemical stability and the like, and can be used for imaging of cell nucleuses and imaging of nucleic acid structures in the cell ferroptosis process; and the carbon dots are used for dynamic imaging of the nucleic acid structure in the ferroptosis process for the first time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fluorescent nanomaterial manufacturing, in particular to a nucleus-targeted carbon point, its preparation and application. Background technique [0002] Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death mode that is different from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. Its biochemical characteristics are mainly manifested in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid overload The abnormal increase of oxides, and the morphological changes at the nuclear level are mainly characterized by the maintenance of structural integrity of the nucleus and the lack of condensation of chromatin. Most of the current studies are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), but TEM has some disadvantages, such as troublesome sample preparation, complicated operation, expensive price, and the cells have lost their activity. The dynamic changes of nucleic acid structure in living cells during ferroptosis can...
