RESUMO
Unveiling the synergism among multiple organelles for fully exploring the mysteries of the cell has drawn more and more attention. Herein, we developed two two-photon fluorescent bioprobes (Lyso-TA and Mito-QA), of which the conformational change triggered an "off-on" fluorescent response. Lyso-TA can real-time monitor the fusion and movement of lysosomes as well as unveil the mitophagy process with the engagement of lysosomes. Mito-QA was transformed from Lyso-TA by one-step ambient temperature reaction, visualizing the dysfunctional mitochondria through a shift from mitochondria to nucleoli. With superior two-photon absorption cross section, good biocompatibility, and greater penetration depth, two small bioprobes were both applied in in vivo bioimaging of brain tissues and zebrafish.
