A Dual‐Modal SERS/Fluorescence Gold Nanoparticle Probe for Mitochondrial Imaging

Abstract: A novel SERS/fluorescent multimodal imaging probe for mitochondria has been synthesised using 12 nm diameter gold nanoparticles (AuNP) surface functionalised with a rhodamine thiol derivative ligand. The normal pH‐dependent fluorescence of the rhodamine‐based ligand is inversed when it is conjugated with the AuNP and higher emission intensity is observed at basic pH. This switch correlates to a pKa at pH 6.62, which makes it an ideal candidate for a pH‐sensitive imaging probe in the biological range (pH 6.5–7.… Show more

“…Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) such as Feridex/Endorem and Resovist have been approved for clinical use while other nanoparticle‐based formulations are undergoing clinical trials . Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are amongst the most studied due to their biocompatibility, the ease with which their dimensions can be controlled and the well‐established methods for attachment of surface units through sulfur linkages (principally thiols) . The thermal response to near‐IR light irradiation of gold nanostructures (photothermal therapy, PTT) has also attracted interest, but it is less established than the more widely used photodynamic therapy (PDT), where cytotoxic singlet oxygen/radicals are generated by the photoexcitation of photosensitizers administered to the patient .…”

“…74 A 'smart' rhodamine-based dye, which emits fluorescence of variable intensity depending on local pH, has also been tethered to gold nanoparticles for use in cancer imaging. 75 Interestingly, the sensitivity of the dye to changes in pH conditions was found to increase on binding to the gold nanoparticle surface, possibly due to the large variation in surface charge experienced by the gold nanoparticles at pH values between 5.2 and 7.8. 75 Gold nanoparticles have also been used as a platform to combine MRI and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging agents.…”

“…Thus, the parameters, such as wavelength and power of laser and spectral acquisition time, play important roles in Raman images. Therefore, the strategies based on fluorescence combining with SERS can improve the time and reduce the sample exposure to the laser. This alternative allows for the fast localization of the area of interest with fluorescence and then a deeper study of that area with SERS. In general, SEPs are poised to have a large impact on cellular imaging, including in immunohistochemistry, due to their narrow and complex spectral features.…”
