Raman/fluorescence dual-sensing and imaging of intracellular pH distribution.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein, a pH-sensitive probe has been designed based on DNA modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for Raman/fluorescence dual-imaging of the intracellular pH distribution. In the acidic environment of cancer cells, the configuration change of DNA on the probe surface could turn "on" Raman/fluorescence signals simultaneously.

Dual-modal cancer detection based on optical pH sensing and Raman spectroscopy.
A dual-modal approach using Raman spectroscopy and optical pH sensing was investigated to discriminate between normal and cancerous tissues. Raman spectroscopy has demonstrated the potential for in vivo cancer detection. However, Raman spectroscopy has suffered from strong fluorescence background of biological samples and subtle spectral differences between normal and disease tissues. To overco...
متن کاملPolypeptide micelles with dual pH activatable dyes for sensing cells and cancer imaging.
pH is an important control parameter for maintenance of cell viability and tissue functions. pH monitoring provides valuable information on cell metabolic processes and the living environment. In this study, we prepared dual pH-sensitive, fluorescent dye-loaded polypeptide nanoparticles (DPNs) for ratiometric sensing of pH changes in living cells. DPNs contain two types of dyes: N-(rhodamine B)...
متن کاملFluorescence and SERS Imaging for the Simultaneous Absolute Quantification of Multiple miRNAs in Living Cells.
The simultaneous imaging and quantification of multiple intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are particularly desirable for the early diagnosis of cancers. However, simultaneous direct imaging with absolute quantification of multiple intracellular RNAs remains a great challenge, particularly for miRNAs, which have significantly different expression levels in living cells. We designed dual-signal sw...
متن کاملNovel application of pH-sensitive firefly luciferases as dual reporter genes for simultaneous ratiometric analysis of intracellular pH and gene expression/location.
Firefly luciferases are widely used as bioluminescent reporter genes for bioimaging and biosensors. Aiming at simultaneous analyses of different gene expression and cellular events, luciferases and GFPs that exhibit distinct bioluminescence and fluorescence colors have been coupled with each promoter, making dual and multicolor reporter systems. Despite their wide use, firefly luciferase biolum...
متن کاملMitochondrial Imaging with Combined Fluorescence and Stimulated Raman Scattering Microscopy Using a Probe of the Aggregation-Induced Emission Characteristic.
In vivo quantitative measurement of biodistribution plays a critical role in the drug/probe development and diagnosis/treatment process monitoring. In this work, we report a probe, named AIE-SRS-Mito, for imaging mitochondria in live cells via fluorescence (FL) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) imaging. The probe features an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic and possesses an...
