Reversible FRET Fluorescent Probe for Ratiometric Tracking of Endogenous Fe3+ in Ferroptosis
journal contribution
posted on 2020-07-12, 12:29 authored by Jing Gao, Yueqin He, Yuncong Chen, Dongfan Song, Yuming Zhang, Fen Qi, Zijian Guo, Weijiang HeA reversible fluorescent probe DRhFe is devised by linking spirolactam rhodamine and dansylamide
through an Fe3+ ionophore N2-hydroxyethyldiethylenetriamine, where Fe3+ chelation
generating rhodamine B can switch intramolecular fluorescence resonance
energy transfer for ratiometric Fe3+ sensing. Probe DRhFe exhibits an Fe3+-specific emission shift
from 483 to 576 nm, and this ratiometric response has been successfully
applied to monitor labile Fe3+ fluctuations in cells undergoing
ferroptosis.
