Simultaneous intracellular redox potential and pH measurements in live cells using SERS nanosensors.
Intracellular redox potential is a highly regulated cellular characteristic and is critically involved in maintaining cellular health and function. The dysregulation of redox potential can result in the initiation and progression of numerous diseases. Redox potential is determined by the balance of oxidants and reductants in the cell and also by pH. For this reason a technique for quantitative ...
متن کاملIntracellular fusion of sequentially formed endocytic compartments
A polyclonal anti-fluorescein antibody (AFA) which quenches fluorescein fluorescence has been used to distinguish between two models of intracellular vesicle traffic. These models address the question of whether sequentially endocytosed probes will mix intracellularly or whether they are carried through the cell in a sequential, isolated manner. Using transferrin (Tf) as a recycling receptor ma...
متن کاملMonitoring intracellular redox potential changes using SERS nanosensors.
Redox homeostasis and signaling are critically important in the regulation of cell function. There are significant challenges in quantitatively measuring intracellular redox potentials, and in this paper, we introduce a new approach. Our approach is based on the use of nanosensors which comprise molecules that sense the local redox potential, assembled on a gold nanoshell. Since the Raman spect...
متن کاملLive Cells as Dynamic Laboratories: Time Lapse Raman Spectral Microscopy of Nanoparticles with Both IgE Targeting and pH-Sensing Functions
This review captures the use of live cells as dynamic microlaboratories through implementation of labeled nanoparticles (nanosensors) that have both sensing and targeting functions. The addition of 2,4-ε-dinitrophenol-L-lysine (DNP) as a FcεRI targeting ligand and 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MPy) as a pH-sensing ligand enables spatial and temporal monitoring of FcεRI receptors and their pH environmen...
متن کاملIonic Liquid-Based Fluorescein Colorimetric pH Nanosensors.
A novel pH sensitive, colorimetric ionic liquid nanosensor based on phosphonium salts of fluorescein is reported. Herein, fluorescein salts of various stoichiometries were synthesized by use of a trihexyltetradecylphosphonium cation [TTP]+ in combination with dianionic [FL]2- and monoanionic [FL]- fluorescein. Nanomaterials derived from these two compounds yielded contrasting colorimetric respo...
