Several events occur under cell stress, in which, are protein expression and organellespecific pH fluctuation. To understand the lysosomal pH variation under cell stress, a novel NIR ratiometric pH-responsive fluorescent probe(BLT) with lysosomes localization capability was developed.The quinoline ring of BLT combined with hydrogen ion which triggered the rearrangement of π electrons conjugated at low pH medium, meanwhile, the absorption and fluorescent spectra of BLT showed a red-shifts, which gived a ratiometric signal. Moreover, the probe BLT with a suitable p Kavalue has the potential to discern changes in lysosomal pH, either induced by heat stress or oxidative stress or acetaminophen-induced(APAP) injury stress. Importantly, this ratiometric fluorescent probe innovatively tracks pH changes in lysosome in APAP-induced liver injury in live cells, mice, and zebrafish. The probe BLT as a novel fluorescent probe possesses important value for exploring lysosomal-associated physiological varieties of drug-induced hepatotoxicity.展开更多

Significant ratiometric fluorescence change was based on photoinduced electron transfer and intramolecular charge transfer. The synthetic method of TPZn was simple. It was successfully used to selectively image Zn2+ based on the higher binding affinity for Zn2+ than for Cd2+. TPZn was easily loaded into the living cell and tissues with high membrane permeability in a complex biological environment. TPZn could clearly visualize endogenous Zn2+ by TP ratiometric imaging in hippocampal slices at a depth of 120 μm. Thus, TPZn is a useful tool to image of Zn2+ in living cells and tissues without interference from Cd2+.展开更多
