Light-up lipid droplets for the visualization of lipophagy and atherosclerosis by coumarin-derived bioprobe

         

摘要

Lipid droplets(LDs) are intracellular lipid-metabolism organelles that involved in many physiological processes,metabolic disorders as well as diseases such as atherosclerosis.However,the specific probes that can visually locate abnormal LDs-rich tissues and track LDs-associated behavior to the naked eye with adequate biosafety still are rare.Herein,we develop a new design strategy of LDs-targeted probe based on the solvatochromism of coumarin derivatives.The results revealed that the emission wavelength of coumarin fluorophores gradually red shift in different solvents with increasing polarity,while absorption wavelength almost unchanged.As a result,the enlarged stokes shift of coumarin was emerged from oil to water.Furthermore,properly reducing water solubility and adding electronic donor at the structure of coumarins can enlarge this type of solvatochromism.This discovery was utilized to develop suitable probe for the image of LDs and LDs-rich tissues with high resolution and biosafety.Therefore,LDs-associated behavior was visible to the naked eye during the process of lipophagy and atherosclerosis.We deem that the developed probe here offers a new possibility to accurately diagnosis and analyse LDs-related diseases in clinic and preclinical study.
