| In Vitro | TRFS-green itself emits at ∼480 nm when excited at 377 nm[1]. TRFS-green displays a green fluorescence off−on change induced by the TrxR-mediated disulfide cleavage and subsequent intramolecular cyclization to liberate the masked naphthalimide fluorophore[1]. The fluorescence signal of TRFS-green in living cells was inhibited by pretreating the cells with TrxR inhibitor in a dose-dependent manner, potentiating the development of living cell-based screening assay for identifying TrxR inhibitors[1]. After incubating the cells with TRFS-green (10 μM) for 4 h, the bright green fluorescence appears[1]. TRFS-green shows no response to GSH or Cys, the predominant thiols in cells, or the endogenous reducing agents, such as vitamin C and NADPH[1]. TRFS-green is the first fluorescent probe of TrxR with a green emission. However, the response rate of TRFS-green to the enzyme is slow, and it takes more than 2 h to reach the maximal fluorescence signal even using tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) as a reducing agent[2]. |
