Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fluorescent probes, and more particularly to a fluorescent probe based on a hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole dye that specifically responds to HClO, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Endogenous hypochlorous acid (HClO) is produced by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and chloride ions catalyzed by myeloperoxidase (MPO). Since HClO can exist stably in cells, it can be used as one of the representatives to study the changes of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Fluctuations in intracellular HClO levels are closely related to excessive oxidative stress, which causes a series of diseases, such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a method to detect cellular HClO and explore its role in disease diagnosis and various pathophysiological characteristics.

[0003] So far, the main methods for detecting HClO include iodine titration, colorimetry, chromatography, fluorescent probe method, electrochemical method, etc. Among them, small molecule fluorescent probes have attracted great attention from researchers due to their advantages of non-invasiveness, real-time evaluation and simple operation. So far, researchers have reported many recognition groups for detecting HClO, including thioethers, thiocarbamates, p-aminophenyl ethers, unsaturated C=C bonds, oximes, selenides, hydrazides and other recognition groups. Although many fluorescent probes for detecting HClO have been reported, there are still few fluorescent probes for super-fast detection of HClO level fluctuations during oxidative stress. Therefore, it is still urgent to construct a new long-wavelength fluorescent probe with high specificity for HClO and realize cell and in vivo imaging.

[0004] Hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole is a typical ESIPT fluorescent dye with the advantages of low raw material cost, simple synthesis, multiple modifiable sites, high fluorescence quantum yield and good photostability. More importantly, hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole fluorescent dyes have relatively small molecular weight, good biocompatibility, easy penetration of living cells, and are very suitable for biological fluorescence imaging, which has attracted widespread attention. Based on this, it is of great significance to prepare fluorescent probes based on hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole fluorescent dyes that specifically respond to HClO in biological cells and realize their application at the living level.

[0005] Therefore, providing a fluorescent probe based on a hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole dye that specifically responds to HClO and a preparation method and application thereof are problems that those skilled in the art need to solve urgently. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a fluorescent probe based on hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole dye that specifically responds to HClO, and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the fluorescent probe is easy to operate, the raw materials are easily available, and the specific detection of HClO in cells and zebrafish can be achieved.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0090] Test example

[0091] Performance test of the fluorescent probe prepared in Example 1

[0092] (1) Reaction time test of fluorescent probe BTHCl for detecting HClO in solution

[0093] Prepare a 1 mM BTHCl fluorescent probe stock solution in acetonitrile;

[0094] The fluorescent probe BTHCl (10 μM) was reacted with HClO (80 μM) in a solution system of acetonitrile / PBS buffer (1:99, v / v, 10 mm, pH 7.4). The results are shown in Figure 4 After adding HClO, the response time of the fluorescent probes BTHCl and HClO was ultra-fast (about 15 s).

[0095] (2) Concentration titration test of fluorescent probe BTHCl for detecting HClO in solution and its linear relationship

[0096] The spectral properties of the probe BTHCl (10 μM) and different concentrations of HClO (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80 μM) were tested in acetonitrile / PBS (1:99, v / v, 10 mm, pH 7.4) at 37°C. It was found that as the concentration of HClO increased, the absorption of the probe at 225 nm and 306 nm gradually increased, and a gradually increasing red-shifted absorption peak appeared at 440 nm ( Figure 5 ); and the fluorescence peak at 550nm gradually increased, and its fluorescence intensity reached the maximum when the HClO concentration reached 80μM and increased by about 171 times (the fluorescence value of the probe BTHCl (10μM) at 550nm was 0.528359, and the fluorescence value of the probe BTHCl (10μM) + HClO (80μM) at 550nm was 90.94859) ( Figure 6 ).

[0097] With HClO concentration as the horizontal axis and the fluorescence intensity of the probe BTHCl at 550nm as the vertical axis, a graph was drawn and linear fitting was performed to obtain the linear regression equation of the probe: Y = 1.742X + 2.012, and the linear correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.994 and the detection limit was calculated to be 1.7 nM (see Figure 7 ).

[0098] (3) Interference and anti-interference ion experiments

[0099] In different fluorescence cuvettes, 4 mL of acetonitrile / PBS buffer (1:99, v / v, 10 mm, pH 7.4) and fluorescent probe stock solution were added respectively. The results are shown in Figure 8When the probe BTHCl (40 μM) was added with active nitrogen and active oxides (HClO (40 μM), ONOO - (50μM), H2O2(50μM), 1 O2(50μM), O t Bu (50 μM), ·OH (50 μM), O2 - (50μM), TBHP (50μM), HS - (50μM), SO3 2- After reacting with analytes such as HCl (50μM), Hcy (50μM), Cys (50μM), and GSH (50μM), the probe BTHCl can specifically identify HClO and show bright yellow fluorescence at 550nm, while no fluorescence appears after reacting with other types of analytes. Therefore, the probe can achieve specific response to HClO. Blank does not add reactive nitrogen and reactive oxides.

[0100] When BTHCl (10 μM) was added to the above analytes and then 80 μM HClO was added for 12 seconds, it can be seen that when HClO coexists with various analytes, BTHCl can still specifically detect HClO in a complex solution system with a strong fluorescence. The experiment proves that BTHCl can respond to HClO without interference from other substances (see Fig. 9 ).

[0101] (4) pH responsiveness experiment

[0102] PBS buffer solutions with pH values ​​of 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0 were prepared, and the changes in fluorescence intensity after the reaction of BTHCl (10 μM) and BTHCl (10 μM) and HClO (80 μM) were studied.

[0103] The results are as follows Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent probe BTHCl remains basically unchanged in solutions with a pH value of 2.0-12.0; after adding HClO, as the pH value continues to increase, its fluorescence at 550nm gradually increases, and the fluorescence intensity is strongest at a pH value in the physiological range of 7.0-8.0. The experiment proves that the fluorescent probe BTHCl can adapt to the pH environment in the body.

[0104] (5) MTT cytotoxicity assay

[0105] Under the conditions of 37°C, DMEM medium, and 5% CO2, MTT experiments were performed in 96-well plates to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the probe BTHCl (0-20 μM). Different concentrations of the probe BTHCl were used to treat different cells (4T1 cells, MCF-7 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, LX-2 cells, and HepG2 cells) for three groups of parallel experiments and continued to culture for 24 hours, then washed 3 times with PBS, added 0.5 mg / L of MTT and continued to incubate for 4 hours, aspirated the medium, and added 100 μL of DMSO (about 15 minutes). Each experiment was performed in triplicate. The ultraviolet absorption at 490 nm was measured using an ELISA instrument, and the cell viability was calculated based on the following equation: Cytotoxicity (%) = (average absorbance of the experimental group / absorbance of the control group) × 100%.

[0106] Results Fig.11 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 , the cell survival rate can be as high as over 90% at low concentrations of the probe, and the probe has almost no cytotoxicity.

[0107] (6) Detection performance test of fluorescent probe for HClO in 4T1 cells, MCF-7 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, LX-2 cells, and HepG2 cells

[0108] Before cell imaging, adherent cells were separated with 0.2% (w / v) trypsin-EDTA solution and dispersed into cell culture medium, and then the cell suspension was transferred to the confocal dish to allow it to grow on the bottom of the dish. In order to study the ability of the probe BTHCl to detect exogenous HClO in cells, the probe BTHCl (10μM, 0.5h) was first incubated, and then different concentrations of HClO (0μM, 5μM, 10μM, 30μM, 50μM, 0.5h) were incubated, and then washed 3 times with PBS before confocal imaging. Control means no addition of probe BTHCl and HClO; BTHCl means only adding the probe BTHCl without adding HClO.

[0109] The results are as follows Fig.16 As shown, after the cells were first incubated with the probe, almost no fluorescence was observed in the cells, and as the concentration of HClO added increased, the fluorescence in the cells gradually increased. This result also shows that the fluorescent probe of the present invention has a good application prospect for detecting HClO in different cells.

[0110] (7) Testing the detection performance of fluorescent probes for HClO in zebrafish

[0111] First, the zebrafish were divided into groups in parallel. The first group of zebrafish was used as a control experiment (Control, without adding probes BTHCl and HClO); the second group of zebrafish was incubated with the probe BTHCl (10μM, 0.5h); the third group of zebrafish was incubated with HClO (100μM, 0.5h), and then incubated with BTHCl (10μM, 0.5h); the fourth group of zebrafish was incubated with LPS (1μg / mL, 16h) and PMA (1μg / mL), and then incubated with BTHCl (10μM, 0.5h); the fifth group of zebrafish was incubated with LPS (1μg / mL, 16h) and PMA (1μg / mL), and then incubated with NAC (1mM, 2h), and finally incubated with BTHCl (10μM, 0.5h). LPS and PMA are hypochlorous acid inducers; NAC is a hypochlorous acid inhibitor.

[0112] like Fig.17 As shown in the figure, zebrafish incubated with the probe alone showed almost no fluorescence. However, after incubating zebrafish with HClO or PMA+LPS and then incubating zebrafish with the probe, bright fluorescence signals appeared in the zebrafish. This shows that the probe can quickly monitor the production of endogenous HClO in living zebrafish in situ.
