AI Technical Summary
Existing fluorescence quenching antagonists often lead to a decrease in initial fluorescence brightness when improving the stability of fluorophores, making it difficult to improve fluorescence brightness while maintaining the stability of fluorophores, especially resulting in insufficient imaging quality in fluorescence imaging of low-abundance targets.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of fluorescence microscopy imaging technology, in particular to the field of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunofluorescence (IF), and more particularly to the field of fluorescence imaging technology for improving the quality of fluorescence imaging, especially for low-abundance targets. BACKGROUND
[0002] The initial fluorescence intensity is used to represent the relative brightness of the fluorescent group when it is excited, which is determined by the extinction coefficient (also known as the absorption coefficient, ε) and the fluorescence quantum yield Φ, where the extinction coefficient ε is the intensity of the fluorescent molecule absorbing light of a specific wavelength; the fluorescence quantum yield Φ is the efficiency of converting absorbed light into emitted light. Generally, the initial fluorescence intensity is represented as the product of the values of the two. Under certain experimental conditions, these two parameters are characteristic constants for each individual fluorescent group, and the higher the values of the two parameters, the higher the fluorescence intensity. In fluorescence microscopy imaging technology, fluorescent groups with higher initial fluorescence intensity are more conducive to improving the quality of imaging and are more suitable for detecting lower abundance targets.
[0003] The size of the extinction coefficient ε is related to the properties of the fluorescent group, the properties of the solvent, and the wavelength of the excitation light. In fluorescence microscopy imaging technology, for a specific fluorescent group under a specific wavelength of excitation light, its extinction coefficient ε is related to the properties of the solvent. In fluorescence microscopy imaging, fluorescence quenching antagonists are often used to enhance the stability of fluorescent groups to delay the fluorescence quenching (photobleaching) phenomenon in imaging. However, the addition of most quenching antagonists will reduce the initial fluorescence intensity, which may be due to the decrease in the extinction coefficient ε of the fluorescent group in the corresponding quenching antagonist. However, in practical applications, the use of quenching antagonists is still a better strategy, as the amount of initial fluorescence intensity reduction is within an acceptable range, maintaining the stability of the fluorescent group is more conducive to meeting the imaging needs, especially in experiments with high anti-quenching requirements.
[0004] The decay process of the excited-state fluorescent molecule includes radiative transition and non-radiative transition, so the fluorescence quantum yield can also be represented as Y f =k f / (k f +∑K), where Y f represents the fluorescence quantum yield, k f represents the rate constant of fluorescence emission, and ∑K represents the sum of the rate constants of various intramolecular non-radiative decay processes. It can be seen that the size of the fluorescence quantum yield depends on the competition result of the fluorescence emission process and the non-radiative transition process. If the rate of non-radiative transition is much smaller than the rate of radiative transition, i.e., ∑K << k f , the value of Y f is close to 1. Under normal circumstances, Y fThe value of the fluorescence quantum yield is always less than 1, and the closer it is to 1, the higher the fluorescence brightness. The size of the fluorescence quantum yield is related to the structure and properties of the fluorescent group, and is mainly related to the environmental factors. The method of changing the solution environment to improve the fluorescence quantum yield can be integrated into the research and development of fluorescence quenching antagonists to achieve stable fluorescence groups while maintaining high initial fluorescence brightness.
[0005] Luis A. Campos et al. found that the combination of water-soluble vitamin E (Trolox) and β-mercaptoethylamine (β-MEA) can achieve microsecond resolution on short typical double-stranded DNA (B-DNA) molecules and significantly improve the fluorescence quantum yield of the fluorescent group Alexa Fluor 594. Widengren found that the antioxidant properties of KI can enhance fluorescence brightness. Gonzalo Cosa et al. found that the presence of Ni 2+ can increase the number of light quantum outputs of Alexa Fluor 647 by 25 times, but high concentrations of Ni 2+ have cytotoxicity and are difficult to apply to biological imaging. Olivier added cyclooctatetraene (COT) in the buffer system of super-resolution microscopy technology (STORM) to significantly improve the fluorescence quantum yield of Alexa Fluor 647. But the effect of COT on light stability varies with the type of fluorescent molecule, such as Cy3B and Cy5, ATTO 655, rhodamine and fluorescein, which have different competitive electron transfer processes (intramolecular or / and intermolecular electron movement). In general, the energy transfer rate is faster than the electron transfer rate, which can improve the light stability and facilitate the increase of the radiation transition rate. SUMMARY

TBHQ alone can only enhance the stability of the fluorescent group, and DPH alone has no beneficial effect (its anti-quenching effect is weak, and the fluorescence quenching is too fast to affect the observation effect), and only when the two act together can both enhance the stability of the fluorescent group and improve the initial fluorescence brightness. The DPH has the characteristics of trace (micromolar level) and high efficiency in use. In the present application, TBHQ and DPH are determined as a combination, which is beneficial to improve the fluorescence microscopic imaging quality.

[0018] This invention discloses the application of a class of compounds in improving initial fluorescence brightness. The composition thereof serves as a fluorescence quenching antagonist, which enhances the stability of fluorescent groups and improves initial fluorescence brightness.
[0019] The compound that enhances the stability of the fluorescent group in this invention is one of n-propyl gallate (NPG), 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (DABCO), and tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ).
[0020] The compound used in this invention to enhance the initial fluorescence brightness of the fluorescent group is one of trans-stilbene (tSB), oxyresveratrol (OR), and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH).
[0021] Furthermore, the compound that enhances the stability of the fluorescent group is preferably TBHQ.
[0022] Furthermore, the compound that enhances the initial fluorescence brightness of the fluorescent group is preferably DPH.
[0023] This invention provides a fluorescence quenching antagonist with initial fluorescence brightness enhancement properties and its preparation method.
[0024] The fluorescence quenching antagonist prepared in this invention is a colorless liquid formulation, using 80% glycerol as the basic medium. 80% glycerol satisfies the refractive index requirement in fluorescence microscopy (the refractive index of 80% glycerol is approximately 1.45) and also provides a formulation with relatively low viscosity, facilitating pipetting; furthermore, glycerol is colorless, odorless, safe, and non-toxic, making it an environmentally friendly solvent.
[0025] The fluorescence quenching antagonist is buffered in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with a pH of 7.0. PBS is the most widely used buffer in biochemistry and cell biology, providing a relatively stable pH and ionic strength system in cell or tissue samples. pH 7.0 ensures solute stability and is compatible with most fluorescent groups, especially some novel ones.
[0026] The first component of the fluorescence quenching antagonist is tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), which is relatively safe and poses no health hazard to operators. At a concentration of 0.2% to 1.0% (w / v), it can be well dissolved in glycerol to form a stable solution. TBHQ has strong antioxidant properties and can form quinones upon oxidation to form the TBHQ-Quinone reduction oxidation system (ROXS), which provides photoprotection for fluorescent groups.
[0027] The second component of the fluorescence quenching antagonist is 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexanetriene (DPH) at a concentration of 0.2–1.5 µM. Unbound by theoretical constraints, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexanetriene can undergo rapid energy transfer, thereby directly reducing the non-radiative transition rate, increasing the radiative transition rate, and enhancing the initial fluorescence brightness.
[0028] The preparation method of the fluorescence quenching antagonist is divided into two steps: base liquid preparation and component mixing.
[0029] The base solution is 80% glycerol-PBS (pH=7.0), prepared from the following parts by volume of raw materials: 8.0 parts of glycerol; 1.0 part of 10×PBS (100 mM, pH=7.0) buffer; and 1.0 part of ddH2O.
[0030] The two components are prepared by mixing the following parts by volume of raw materials and steps: 0.10-0.50 parts of TBHQ (20% w / v, solvent dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) stock solution are added to 9.35-9.88 parts of 80% glycerol-PBS (pH=7.0) base solution and mixed thoroughly; then 0.02-0.15 parts of DPH (100 µM, DMSO) stock solution are added and mixed thoroughly to obtain the fluorescence quenching antagonist.
[0031] Under the action of the initial fluorescence brightness-enhancing quencher antagonist described in this invention, the initial fluorescence brightness of most fluorescent groups is significantly enhanced. The quencher antagonist disclosed in this invention was compared with Vectashield (a commercially available quencher antagonist) in DAPI, Hoechst 33342, SYTO-80, Cy3, FAM, and SpectrumGreen in terms of anti-quenching effect and initial fluorescence brightness. The results show that in terms of anti-quenching, the quencher antagonist described in this invention is superior to Vectashield in Hoechst 33342, SYTO-80, and SpectrumGreen; in terms of initial fluorescence brightness, the quencher antagonist described in this invention is superior to Vectashield in DAPI, Hoechst 33342, SYTO-80, Cy3, and SpectrumGreen.

[0043] Based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technology, fluorescence intensity changes are acquired through fluorescence microscopy. The fluorescence intensity of these images is then quantitatively analyzed using ImageJ software, ultimately generating visualized data on the anti-quenching effect. The specific implementation method is as follows: 1.

Take 5 images per field of view (total 2 minutes). Change fields of view and continue taking images, keeping the shooting parameters constant. Take 3 images per sample. Field of view selection principles: a. The concentration of the staining agent should not be too high, and the background should be clear; b. The cell nucleus outline is clear and has a high contrast with the background; c. The difference in brightness between cell nuclei should not be too great; d. The number of cells in the field of view should not be too high (no more than 10).
[0046] (4) Statistical analysis of quenching resistance effect After the images were captured, ImageJ was used to analyze the average fluorescence intensity in each field of view [average fluorescence intensity = total fluorescence intensity of the region / area of the region at 0 sec], and the fluorescence decay rate in the field of view under the action of each quenching antagonist was calculated based on the average fluorescence intensity corresponding to the total irradiation time.
[0047] 2. Experimental Results The results show that smaller values correspond to stronger effects.
