- Development of an ultrafast fluorescent probe for specific recognition of hypochlorous acid and its application in live cells
-
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a highly potent oxidant of reactive oxygen species, plays critical roles in many physiological and pathological processes. In this work, a novel coumarin-based fluorescent probe, Cou-HOCl, was prepared for the detection of HOCl. The probe exhibited good selectivity over other analytes, excellent sensitivity with a detection limit of 16 nM, and fast response within 5 s. And further study demonstrated that the probe could be used not only to image exogenous HOCl in various cells, but also to determine the fluctuating levels of HOCl in macrophage cells during inflammation.

- A novel fluorescent probe with dual-sites for simultaneously monitoring metabolisms of cysteine in living cells and zebrafishes
-
Understanding cellular metabolism holds immense potential for developing new drugs that regulate metabolic pathways. Two gas signal molecules, SO2 and H2S, are the main metabolites from cysteine (Cys) via oxidation and desulfurization pathways, respectively. However, a few fluorescent probes for real-time monitor of the metabolic pathways of cysteine have been reported. To understand metabolic alterations of cysteine, we have rationally designed and prepared a dual-signal fluorescent probe HN, which could differentiate SO2 and H2S through two different fluorescence channels simultaneously, along with similar reaction kinetics and both “off-on” fluorescence responses. Probe HN exhibits the potential to monitor the metabolism pathways of cysteine, and the distinguishment of cancer cells from normal cells could be realized. This methodology will promote further understanding of the physiological and pathological roles of cysteine.

- Amplification-free detection of circulating microRNA biomarkers from body fluids based on fluorogenic oligonucleotide-templated reaction between engineered peptide nucleic acid probes: Application to prostate cancer diagnosis
-
Highly abundant in cells, microRNAs (or miRs) play a key role as regulators of gene expression. A proportion of them are also detectable in biofluids making them ideal noninvasive biomarkers for pathologies in which miR levels are aberrantly expressed, such as cancer. Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are engineered uncharged oligonucleotide analogues capable of hybridizing to complementary nucleic acids with high affinity and high specificity. Herein, novel PNA-based fluorogenic biosensors have been designed and synthesized that target miR biomarkers for prostate cancer (PCa). The sensing strategy is based on oligonucleotide-templated reactions where the only miR of interest serves as a matrix to catalyze an otherwise highly unfavorable fluorogenic reaction. Validated in vitro using synthetic RNAs, these newly developed biosensors were then shown to detect endogenous concentrations of miR in human blood samples without the need for any amplification step and with minimal sample processing. This low-cost, quantitative, and versatile sensing technology has been technically validated using gold-standard RT-qPCR. Compared to RT-qPCR however, this enzyme-free, isothermal blood test is amenable to incorporation into low-cost portable devices and could therefore be suitable for widespread public screening.

- Synthesis of a NIR fluorescent dye and its application for rapid detection of HSO3? in living cells
-
SO2 and its derivatives (HSO3?, SO32?) play a significant important role in many industries and organisms. Based on coumarin and benzopyranose, a promising NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe BAOA (11-oxo-2,2′,3,3′,6,7,7′,8′-octahydro -1H,1′H,5H,6′H,11H- [10,12′-bipyrano [2,3-f] pyrido [3,2,1-ij] quinolin]-13′-ium perchlorate) was designed and developed to detect HSO3? rapidly and sensitively. The sensing mechanism was Michael addition reaction, in which, strongly nucleophilic HSO3? attacked carbon-carbon double bonds and BAOA-HSO3 was formed. A superior linear calibration curve between the fluorescence ratio I490/I722 and concentrations of HSO3? was obtained in the range of 1.25–8.75 μmol/L and the LOD was figured out as 63.0 nmol/L. Cell experiments showed that BAOA could not only locate mitochondria, lysosomes, ER and Golgi but also detect exogenous HSO3? in living cells.

- Extensive reduction in back electron transfer in twisted intramolecular charge-transfer (TICT) coumarin-dye-sensitized TiO2 nanoparticles/film: A femtosecond transient absorption study
-
We report the synthesis, characterization, and optical and electrochemical properties of two structurally similar coumarin dyes (C1 and C2). These dyes have been deployed as sensitizers in TiO2 nanoparticles and thin films, and the effect of molecular structure on interfacial electron-transfer dynamics has been studied. Steady-state optical absorption, emission, and time-resolved emission studies on both C1 and C2, varying the polarity of the solvent and the solution pH, suggest that both photoexcited dyes exist in a locally excited (LE) state in solvents of low polarity. In highly polar solvents, however, C1 exists in an intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) state, whereas C2 exists in both ICT and twisted intramolecular charge-transfer (TICT) states, their populations depending on the degree of polarity of the solvent and the pH of the solution. We have employed femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to monitor the charge-transfer dynamics in C1- and C2-sensitized TiO2 nanoparticles and thin films. Electron injection has been confirmed by direct detection of electrons in the conduction band of TiO 2 nanoparticles and of radical cations of the dyes in the visible and near-IR regions of the transient absorption spectra. Electron injection in both the C1/TiO2 and C2/TiO2 systems has been found to be pulse-width limited (2 system than in the C1/TiO2 system. The involvement of TICT states in C2 is solely responsible for the higher electron injection yield as well as the slower BET process compared to those in the C1/TiO2 system. Further pH-dependent experiments on C1- and C2-sensitized TiO2 thin films have corroborated the participation of the TICT state in the slower BET process in the C2/TiO2 system.
