Construction and evaluation of near-infrared fluorescent probes for imaging lipid droplet and lysosomal viscosity.
Microenvironmental viscosity is a crucial parameter for biological systems, and its abnormal fluctuations are closely associated with various functional disorders and diseases. However, it is still important and urgent to develop improved near-infrared fluorescent probes for micro-viscosity with dual-organelle targeting properties, low background noise, and high sensitivity. Herein, two BODIPY-based small-molecule fluorescent probes were designed and synthesized, which were explored for their viscosity- and polarity-responsive properties, and were further applied to imaging sub-cellular viscosity in living cells. Interestingly, BSZ-Ph and BSZ-R displayed near-infrared fluorescence (more than 650 nm) and were sensitive to environmental viscosity and polarity due to the introduction of a benzothiazole at the 2-position and electron-rich aniline groups at the 5-position of the BODIPY core, respectively. The fluorescence intensity increased exponentially with the viscosity changes. Furthermore, the probe BSZ-Ph could successfully target lipid droplets and image cellular viscosity changes by treating lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and nystatin. Comparatively, the probe BSZ-R could successfully target the dual organelles of lipid droplets and lysosomes and image cellular viscosity changes by treating LPS and monensin. Therefore, in this work, we reported two new BODIPY-based near-infrared fluorescent probes, BSZ-Ph and BSZ-R, for cellular viscosity imaging, which could target lipid droplets and the dual organelles of lysosomes and lipid droplets, respectively. The study could provide a reference for the future development of fluorescent probes for viscosity in lipid droplets and lysosomes.
