Cell death causes relocalization of photosensitizing fluorescent probes
چکیده انگلیسی
When cultured cells are treated with fluorescent organelle probes or photosensitizer agents, a characteristic redistribution of fluorescence in cell structures occurs frequently after light irradiation. It is currently assumed that such changes, referred to as relocalizations of the fluorescent compounds, represent an important aspect of the photodynamic process, which is based on the excitation of photosensitizers by light in the presence of oxygen. As cell damage and death result from the oxidative stress induced by photodynamic treatments, we have studied here the redistribution of acridine orange (AO) and 3,3′-dimethyl-oxacarbocyanine (DiOC1(3)) fluorescence after incubation of HeLa cell cultures with these compounds followed by blue light irradiation to achieve lethal effects. The relocalization of dyes from their original labeling sites (AO: lysosomes, DiOC1(3): mitochondria) to nucleic acid-containing structures (cytoplasm, nuclei and nucleoli) appeared clearly associated with cell death. Therefore, the relocalization phenomenon simply reflects fluorescence changes due to the different affinity of these dyes for living and damaged or dead cells. As fluorescent probes are often photosensitizers, prolonged light exposures using fluorescence microscopy will produce lethal photodynamic effects with relocalization of the fluorescent signal and changes in the cell morphology.
