Mitochondria‐Targeted Cancer Therapy Using a Light‐Up Probe with Aggregation‐Induced‐Emission Characteristics

Hu, Qinglian, Gao, Meng, Feng, Guangxue, Liu, Bin·2014·Angewandte Chemie International Edition

Abstract

Subcellular organelle‐specific reagents for simultaneous tumor targeting, imaging, and treatment are of enormous interest in cancer therapy. Herein, we present a mitochondria‐targeting probe (AIE‐mito‐TPP) by conjugating a triphenylphosphine (TPP) with a fluorogen which can undergo aggregation‐induced emission (AIE). Owing to the more negative mitochondrial membrane potential of cancer cells than normal cells, the AIE‐mito‐TPP probe can selectively accumulate in cancer‐cell mitochondria and light up its fluorescence. More importantly, the probe exhibits selective cytotoxicity for studied cancer cells over normal cells. The high potency of AIE‐mito‐TPP correlates with its strong ability to aggregate in mitochondria, which can efficiently decrease the mitochondria membrane potential and increase the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells. The mitochondrial light‐up probe provides a unique strategy for potential image‐guided therapy of cancer cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
