Abstract

Nitroxyl (HNO), produced by nitric oxide (NO) with one-electron reduction and protonation, has recently received substantial interest due to its important roles in various biological functions and pharmacological activities. Research indicates that HNO also has many potential pharmacological applications for different diseases. Therefore, the development of a reliable method for HNO assay in biosystems is highly desired. Ratiometric fluorescent probes show significant advantages over traditional “turn-on” ones, because simultaneous measurement of two emission signals can provide a built-in correction and thus minimize the inaccurate fluorescence signal readouts. As far as we know, there is no ratiometric fluorescent probe for HNO detection based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). Herein, a ratiometric nanoprobe for HNO assay was constructed based on the luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) principle by using UCNPs with a core-shell structure (NaYbF4:30%Gd@NaYF4:2%Yb:1%Tm) as the energy donor and an organic dye Fl-TP as the potential energy acceptor. The oleate-coated UCNPs (OA-UCNPs) and Fl-TP were assembled through hydrophobic interaction to construct the upconversion nanoprobe (termed as Fl-TP-UCNPs). Because of the ring-closed form, Fl-TP displayed weak absorption and was non-fluorescent, which blocked the LRET process. After reaction with HNO, the triphenylphosphine moiety left and released Fl-HNO with the fluorescent ring-open form. Fl-HNO showed strong absorption in the range of 400～500 nm, which completely overlapped with the blue luminescence of UCNPs and triggered the LRET process between UCNPs and Fl-HNO. Thus, the luminescence from UCNPs around 480 nm decreased and the emission from Fl-HNO around 525 nm increased with a [HNO]-dependent manner. The ratiometric luminescence intensity F525 nm/F480 nm showed a good linear relationship (R2＝0.9914) to the logarithm of AS (Angeli’s salt, a generally used HNO donor) concentration in the range of 3～100 μmol·L－1 and the limit of detection was 23.4 nmol·L－1. The excellent sensitivity, stability, selectivity and low cytotoxicity endow Fl-TP-UCNPs with the superior capability for HNO assay in vitro and in vivo. We found that Fl-TP-UCNPs probe is appropriate for monitoring HNO in living cells as well as imaging HNO in liver tissues. This probe may be a powerful tool for HNO assay in various physiological processes.
