Article Abstract
Mitophagy is a vital lysosome-dependent process in which damaged mitochondria exhibiting elevated HO production are selectively engulfed by autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation, thereby maintaining intracellular homeostasis. Consequently, monitoring mitophagy holds significant potential for disease diagnosis and therapeutic development. In this study, HO-activated lysosome-targeted fluorescent probe, , was developed for the super-resolution imaging of the mitophagic process. The initiation of mitophagy induces the significant production of autophagosomes. Red-stained mitochondria are engulfed by blue-stained autophagosomes and subsequently fuse with lysosomes, leading to an increase in the HO concentration within the lysosomes. This activates the green fluorescence signal of . The entire mitophagic process can be visualized and monitored by observing changes in the fluorescence intensity of the autophagosomes and lysosomes as well as the overlap of fluorescence signals. Super-resolution imaging enables the triple-signal nanoscale visualization of the dynamic processes in three organelles. This probe was successfully applied to monitor rapamycin- and starvation-induced mitophagy and was further utilized to assess the role of mitophagy inhibition in enhancing antitumor activity.

Introduction: The advent of super-resolution microscopy revealed the membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS), a specialized neuronal cytoskeletal structure composed of actin rings spaced 190 nm apart by two spectrin dimers. While numerous ion channels, cell adhesion molecules, and signaling proteins have been shown to associate with the MPS, tools for accurate and unbiased quantification of their periodic localization remain scarce.

The bioenergetic machinery of the cell is protected and structured within two layers of mitochondrial membranes. The mitochondrial inner membrane is extremely rich in proteins, including respiratory chain complexes, substrate transport proteins, ion exchangers, and structural fusion proteins. These proteins participate directly or indirectly in shaping the membrane's curvature and facilitating its folding, as well as promoting the formation of nanotubes, and proton-rich pockets known as cristae.

Self-assembled DNA nanostructures have been popularly used to develop DNA-based electrochemical sensors by exploiting the nanoscale positioning capability of DNA origami. However, the impact of the electric field on the structural stability of the DNA origami framework and the activity of carried DNA probes remains to be explored. Herein, we employ DNA origami as structural frameworks for reversible DNA hybridization, and develop a single-molecule fluorescence imaging method to quantify electric field effects on DNA conformation and hybridization properties at the single-molecule level.

In recent years, fluorescence-switchable molecules have garnered significant attention as fluorescent dyes for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, which is increasingly demanded in the field of biochemical imaging. Among such molecules, diarylethene-S,S,S',S'-tetraoxide derivatives have proven particularly promising due to their ability to achieve high contrast fluorescence switching. Diarylethenes incorporating perfluorocyclopentene as the ethene bridge have become the standard scaffold due to their excellent fatigue resistance and thermal stability.
