Reversible Off–On Fluorescence Probe for Hypoxia and Imaging of Hypoxia–Normoxia Cycles in Live Cells

Abstract: We report a fully reversible off-on fluorescence probe for hypoxia. The design employs QSY-21 as a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor and cyanine dye Cy5 as a FRET donor, based on our finding that QSY-21 undergoes one-electron bioreduction to the radical under hypoxia, with an absorbance decrease at 660 nm. At that point, FRET can no longer occur, and the dye becomes strongly fluorescent. Upon recovery of normoxia, the radical is immediately reoxidized to QSY-21, with loss of fluorescence due to… Show more

“…Introduction of the so‐called “dark quenchers” that are non‐fluorescent substantially simplified the assays due to the elimination of background fluorescence. A number of various dark quenchers have been developed and commercialized including the BHQ, QSY, and BBQ quencher families and IRdye QC‐1 . However, these compounds are able to turn off the fluorescence of only a limited number of fluorophores due to their rather narrow absorption bands.…”

“…The integration of multiresponse to multi-species by a single probe can demonstrate the redox homeostasis process more clearly. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Moreover, the multiresponse probes can benefit from inaccurate calibration. And they can also avoid potobleaching rates of individual probes, uneven probe loading, nonhomogeneous distribution uncontrollable localization, larger invasive effects, metabolisms, and interference of spectral overlap.…”
