Description

Glutathione response photoacoustic probe and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a photoacoustic imaging technology in the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to a photoacoustic nano molecular probe for generating Prussian blue through response of glutathione and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Glutathione is the most abundant endogenous active small molecule in cells and tissues, playing an important role in vital activities and maintaining redox balance. Many diseases, including liver and skin diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, lead to abnormal glutathione metabolism. Glutathione is produced by solid tumor cells to reduce abnormal active oxygen, and the concentration of glutathione in tumor cells is 2-20 millimole/liter, which is 1000 times that of normal cells. Therefore, the visual detection and quantification of glutathione are of great significance for the diagnosis of early stage tumors and other glutathione related diseases. Currently, the main method for detecting cellular glutathione is to use fluorescent probes based on glutathione-responsive organic fluorophores. However, due to factors such as shallow tissue penetration depth, strong light scattering and biological background, the application of fluorescence imaging in clinical and preclinical living tissue glutathione detection is greatly limited.
The photoacoustic imaging is a biological imaging technology which can be applied to clinical and preclinical researches, has optical contrast and ultrasonic penetration depth, expands structural images and functional images based on different chromophores to acoustic imaging depth, breaks through optical scattering limit, can detect spectral information of deep biological tissues, and has the advantages of non-invasion, no radiation, high imaging speed, low cost and the like. Conventional photoacoustic imaging methods achieve imaging of deep biological tissues by virtue of the contrast in light absorption (e.g., hemoglobin, melanin, fat, etc.) produced by the endogenous photoacoustic chromophores in the organism. Therefore, the photoacoustic imaging based on the binding specificity response type probe has wide application prospect in the detection of deep tissue tumor in clinic and the preclinical research.
The prior art discloses that nanoparticle reagents based on molybdenum-based polyoxometallate or boron fluoride complexed dipyrromethene fluorochromes can be used for photoacoustic imaging of glutathione. However, the above techniques still suffer from poor biocompatibility, complicated preparation process, and the like.
In conclusion, the development of a photoacoustic probe with glutathione response performance, good biocompatibility and a simpler preparation process for living glutathione detection and tumor in-situ imaging is a technical problem to be solved in the field.
