Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel pH-sensitive fluorescent probe and a method for measuring an acidic region in a cell using the same.
- the cells maintain a vital function by performing various biochemical reactions such as metabolism of incorporated proteins and organic compounds, synthesis and transport of cell components, with high spatiotemporal resolution.
- biochemical reactions such as metabolism of incorporated proteins and organic compounds, synthesis and transport of cell components, with high spatiotemporal resolution.
- organelles organelles
- each organelle maintains a unique pH optimum for various biochemical reactions.
- the function of the organelle changes greatly if the pH of the organelle changes.
- the endosomal pH is 6.3 (early endosome) ⁇ 5.5 (late endosome) ⁇ 4.7 (lysosome), which is acidified according to endosomal maturation.
- the biochemical reaction occurring in the endosome also changes from protein selection (early endosome) to protein degradation (lysosome).
- the intracellular pH is greatly related to the chemical reaction occurring in the cell, measuring the intracellular pH is important for elucidating the life phenomenon occurring in the cell.
- a pH sensitive fluorescent probe (hereinafter referred to as a pH probe) based on an organic small molecule fluorescent dye or a fluorescent protein is used.
- the pH probe has a feature that the fluorescence characteristic changes greatly with the nearby pH change. By detecting this change in fluorescence characteristics with a device such as a fluorescence microscope or a plate reader, it is possible to easily measure the pH in cells that remain alive.
- the Off / On-type pH probe has an advantage that it can be used even in a relatively simple optical system because excitation and fluorescence detection are each performed with only one wavelength.
- the increase or decrease of the probe concentration such as cell contraction or probe leakage outside the cell is observed as an increase or decrease in fluorescence intensity, that is, a change in pH
- the pH inside the cell is adjusted using an Off / On type pH probe. It is difficult to measure quantitatively.
- the ratio type pH probe performs excitation or fluorescence detection at two wavelengths, calculates the ratio of the fluorescence intensities (ratio), and observes the change in the ratio value as a pH change. Therefore, in order to use the ratio type pH probe, an optical system suitable for the ratio measurement such as an excitation light switching device and a plurality of fluorescence detectors is required. On the other hand, as an excellent feature of the ratio type pH probe, the ratio value does not change even if the probe concentration fluctuates, so that measurement errors due to factors other than pH change can be reduced. Therefore, intracellular pH can be quantitatively measured by using a ratio type pH probe. Therefore, the ratio type pH probe has greatly contributed to the elucidation of the life phenomenon accompanied by the pH change.
- ratio-type pH probes that are widely used in biological research include semephathorhofluor (SNARF) s shown in FIG. 1 and 2 ′, 7′-Bis- (2-carboxyethyl) -5- (and-6-) carboxyfluorescein.
- SNARF semephathorhofluor
- BCECF carboxyfluorescein
- the problems with SNARF-1 are that the quantum yield of the fluorescence is relatively low (0.03 on the acidic side, 0.09 on the basic side), and that there is temperature and environmental sensitivity (when 25 ° C. ⁇ 37 ° C., the fluorescence is It is said that it decreases by 25%, and the fluorescence decreases even if it interacts with a protein), and is likely to cause photofading (Non-patent Document 2).
- the pK a to 6.3, a derivative of SNARF with reduced SNARF-4F are also used to acidification of the cytoplasm to visualize.
- BCECF shows a large absorbance / fluorescence quantum yield on the basic side, but a small absorbance / fluorescence quantum yield on the acidic side, and it is difficult to perform ratio imaging due to a large difference in luminance. Like some fluorescein, it is said to be easy to light fade. Further, BCECF derivatives having different pK a is not commercially available.
- the ratio-type pH probe has been developed on the basis of a semephathodohydrofluor or a fluorescein skeleton, which has a low fluorescence quantum yield, is dependent on temperature and environment, and easily causes photofading. Therefore, there are problems that imaging for a long time is difficult, and it is difficult to measure an accurate pH due to environmental factors such as a difference in ambient temperature and an organelle environment. Moreover, it is difficult to apply the structural modifications to the probe molecule, pH probe derivatives having various pK a by organic chemical modification was hardly developed.
- the present invention provides a pH probe having high fluorescence quantum yield, high resistance to photofading, and suitable for visualization of various pH environments in cells such as weakly basic, neutral, and weakly acidic environments.
- the purpose is to do.
- the present inventors have used a Si-based rhodamine skeleton having a high fluorescence quantum yield that has been developed by the present inventors in recent years and having high resistance to photofading.
- a ratio type pH probe we considered that it would be able to solve the problems of existing pH probes, and when various studies were conducted, a piperazine ring was introduced into the skeleton of an asymmetric Si-type rhodamine, and further on the piperazine ring amino group. It was found that the pKa of the pH probe can be easily adjusted by introducing an electron-withdrawing group into the present invention, thereby completing the present invention.

Abstract
Description
Off/On型pHプローブは励起、蛍光検出をそれぞれ1波長のみで行うため、比較的単純な光学系でも利用可能という利点がある。しかしながら、細胞の収縮やプローブの細胞外への漏出等のプローブ濃度の増減を蛍光強度の増減すなわちpHの変化として観測してしまうため、Off/On型のpHプローブを用いて細胞内のpHを定量的に測定することは難しい。

SiRpH5を用いた細胞内オルガネラのpH測定
(A)リソソームのpH測定
多糖類であるデキストランを細胞外液に添加して細胞内に取り込ませた後に数時間インキュベーションを行うことで、デキストランをリソソーム選択的に集積させられると知られている。本プローブを用いてリソソームのpH測定を行うため、SiRpH5を10kDaアミノデキストランに標識したSiRpH5-Dexを作成した。
反応容器に10kDaアミノデキストラン(1.3mg、0.13μmol)、0.1M炭酸水素ナトリウム水溶液(460μL)を加えた。その後、SiRpH5-PEG6-SE(0.64μg、0.49μmol)を160μLのDMSOに溶解させた溶液を添加し、室温で4時間攪拌した。反応液をPD-10ゲル濾過カラム(GE-Healthcare)を用いて精製し、凍結乾燥させてSiRpH5-Dexを得た。10mg/mLのSiRpH5-Dex水溶液を調整し、吸光度を測定することでプローブの平均ラベル化率は2.6nmolプローブ/1nmol Dextranと決定した。
(a)実験のイメージ図(図7a参照):SiRpH5-Dexをリソソームに集積させ、その後リソソーム塩基性試薬である塩化アンモニウム水溶液を添加することでリソソームのpHを塩基性化させる。
(b)SiRpH5-Dexをロードした細胞を10%ホルマリンで固定化し、細胞外液をpH4.5-7.4のリン酸ナトリウム緩衝液に交換し、撮像を行い作成した細胞内pHの検量線を図7bに示す。
(c)200μg/mLのSiRpH5-Dexを含む培地でMEF細胞を2時間インキュベーションし、その後プローブを含まない培地と交換し、3時間インキュベーションを行った。共焦点顕微鏡で観察を行うと、リソソームマーカータンパク質であるVamp7と黄色蛍光タンパク質Venusの融合タンパクの近傍からSiRpH5-Dex由来の蛍光が観察された(図7c)。点線で囲った部位のレシオ値から検量線を用いてpHを計算すると、4.7と算出された。その後、最終濃度33mMの塩化アンモニウム水溶液を添加したところ、リソソームのpHは6.2まで塩基性化したことが分かった。これらの値は報告されているリソソームのpHや塩基性化試薬添加後のリソソームのpHと同程度であることから、本発明を用いて生細胞内のpH測定が行えることが分かった。
鉄輸送タンパク質であるトランスフェリン(Tfn)はトランスフェリン受容体(TfnR)を介してエンドサイトーシスされて初期エンドソームへ輸送され、その後リサイクリングエンドソームへ輸送されることが知られている。本プローブを用いてリサイクリングエンドソームのpH測定を行うため、鉄イオン-トランスフェリン複合体であるホロトランスフェリンにSiRpH5を標識したSiRpH5-Tfnを作成した。
反応容器にHolo-Transferrin(9.04mg、0.113μmol)、1000μLの0.1Mホウ酸バッファー(pH8.0)を加えた。その後、SiRpH5-PEG6-SE(1.18mg、0.91μmol)を200μLのDMSOと800μLの0.1Mホウ酸バッファー(pH8.0)に溶解させた溶液を反応容器に添加し、室温で1時間攪拌した。反応液をPD-10ゲル濾過カラム(GE-Healthcare)を用いて精製し、凍結乾燥させてSiRpH5-Tfnを得た。5mg/mLのSiRpH5-Tfn水溶液を調整し、吸光度を測定することでプローブの平均ラベル化率は7.3nmolプローブ/1nmolTfnと決定した。
(a)実験のイメージ図(図8a参照):SiRpH5-Tfnをリサイクリングエンドソーム(RE)に集積させ、pH測定を行う。
(b)SiRpH5-Tfnをロードした細胞を4%ホルムアルデヒドで固定化し、細胞外液をpH4.0-7.4のHEPSバッファーに交換し、撮像を行うことで作成した細胞内pHの検量線を図8bに示す。
(c)25μg/mLのSiRpH5-Tfnを含むバッファー中でCOS-1細胞を50分間インキュベーションし、その後プローブを含まないバッファーと交換し、15分間インキュベーションを行い、共焦点顕微鏡で撮像した(図8c)。リサイクリングエンドソームのマーカータンパク質であるRab11と緑色蛍光タンパク質GFPの融合タンパクと重なる部位からSiRpH5-Tfn由来の蛍光が観察された。点線で囲ったリサイクリングエンドソームのレシオ値から検量線を用いてpHを計算すると、5.8と算出された。この値は報告されているリサイクリングエンドソームの値と同程度であった。
このことから、プローブを標識するタンパク質を変えることで、様々な細胞内小器官のpH測定が行えると考えられる。
以上のように、本発明のpHプローブは、様々な生命現象の詳細な解析に向けて有用なツールとなることが期待される。
