Protein-encapsulated long-wavelength fluorescent probe hybrid for imaging lipid droplets in living cells and mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is prevalent worldwide as a chronic liver disease that not only gives rise to hepatic complications,but leads to other chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis.The aberrant accumulation of lipid droplets(LDs)in hepatocytes is a prominent signa-ture of NAFLD.However,conventional techniques lack the capability to effectively monitor the dynamic changes in LD levels during NAFLD with living organisms.Hence,it is imperative to develop LD-specific long-wavelength fluorescent probes with high imaging contrast for the in-situ diagnosis of NAFLD.In this study,we synthesized a new LD-selective long-wavelength fluorescent probe,denoted as LD-1,based on the twisted intramolecular charge transfer(TICT)mechanism.The probe exhibits a large Stokes shift and intensive fluorescence emission in nonpolar and viscous solutions.By self-assembling LD-1 with bovine serum albumin(BSA),a biocompatible,long-wavelength fluorescent probe hybrid,LD-1@BSA,was formed,allowing for LDs to be selectively imaged in hepatocytes.Moreover,LD-1@BSA successfully dis-criminates NAFLD cells before and after drug treatment,and achieves non-invasive and real-time moni-toring of LD accumulation in a mouse model of NAFLD.
