In time-resolved experiments, the excitation and emission wavelengths were fixed at and nm, respectively. These experiments were performed in both Tris—HCl buffer solutions and a synthetic intracellular buffer SIB that mimics the intracellular environment.
The nanoparticle concentration was 10 nM. The experiment was repeated at least three times for each selected pH value. Samples were excited at nm with a diode pulsed laser. In each pixel, the fluorescence intensity decay was fitted to eq 1 , and the average decay lifetime was calculated following eq 2.
The average fluorescence lifetime of the whole FLIM image was obtained from the maximum of the best fitting Gaussian curve of the lifetime distribution histogram. At least, three independent cell samples and six FLIM images per sample were measured. Results and Discussion.
Under such ratios, we considered that the number of bound ligands reached the maximum. Table 1 shows the number of ligands per unit area on the QD surface see Table S1 and the Experimental Section for additional details.
Nanoparticle sizes diameter of 8. The ligand grafting densities obtained for the functionalized nanoparticles 3. Therefore, each molecule of N -acetylcysteine occupies a higher surface on the QD than a D-penicillamine ligand. Table 1. It was also found that the longer length of - PH peptides compared to D-penicillamine leads to higher protection against fluorescence quenching.
Figures 2 a and S6a show the dependence of the fluorescence emission intensity as a function of pH. In addition, the pH-sensitive response is reversible between pH 6. The fitting parameters are shown in Table S3. On the contrary, lower p K a values 3. Fluorescence self-quenching associated with aggregation processes could be related to the pH-sensibility of the nanoparticle. In fact, the lowest zeta potentials were obtained for this nanoparticle within the pH range of 5—9 with precipitation observed in the first 24 h.
Thus, the longer length of - PH peptides as compared to D-penicillamine increases the microenvironment hydrophobicity and protection against fluorescence quenching. It is well known that the fluorescence of a nanoparticle can be affected by diverse physiological factors such as the concentration of macromolecules, ionic strength, and viscosity, among others. Table 2. Although QDs have been traditionally associated with toxic effects, other authors maintain that each nanoparticle exhibits different uptake kinetics, biodistribution patterns, degradation rates, and toxicity.
In this sense, Breus et al. No significant effects on cell viability were found at 2 h of treatment see Figure S Here, it should be remembered that the work concentration used in the FLIM experiments of the present work was 50 nM. The higher cytotoxicity of this nanoparticle could be related to its lower chemical stability and aggregation tendency.
Breus et al. Weak fluorescence was observed for control cells in comparison with cells treated with the nanoparticles see Figures S12c and S13c. In this sense, it has been reported that the absorption of biomolecules mainly proteins on the nanoparticle surface and the acidic degradation associated with the action of lysosomes lead to a reduction of the fluorescence lifetime of homologous nanoparticles.
The color scale of the FLIM images was arbitrarily chosen to allow an easy visualization of the changes in the fluorescence lifetime upon pH, that is, from blue color at pH 6.
Figure 4 b shows the displacement of the lifetime distribution histogram upon the pH. A linear response range between pH 6.
Charged nanoparticles are generally introduced into the cell via endocytosis and transferred to lysosomes. The temporal stability of the fluorescence lifetime in complex media is a desired feature for FLIM probes with biological and biomedical applications. The lifetime distribution histograms obtained at different times also maintain a Gaussian profile see Figure S All the intracellular pH values calculated in the hour experiment are within the 6.
The effect of diverse biomolecules, drugs, and toxic substances on the cell state can be monitored by pH measurements with FLIM and a suitable probe. Supporting Information. Author Information.

Protons dictate the charge and structure of macromols. The unique function of individual organelles therefore depends on the establishment and stringent maintenance of a distinct pH. This, in turn, requires a means to sense the prevailing pH and to respond to deviations from the norm with effective mechanisms to transport, produce, or consume proton equiv.
A dynamic, finely tuned balance between proton-extruding and proton-importing processes underlies pH homeostasis not only in the cytosol, but in other cellular compartments as well.
Cell Death Differ. Intracellular pH pHi has an important role in the maintenance of normal cell function, and hence this parameter has to be tightly controlled within a narrow range, largely through the activity of transporters located at the plasma membrane. These transporters can be modulated by endogenous or exogenous mols.
Whereas intracellular alkalinization seems to be a common feature of proliferative processes, the precise role of pHi in apoptosis is still unclear. The present review gathers the most recent advances along with previous data on both the origin and the role of pHi alterations in apoptosis and highlights the major concerns that merit further research in the future. Special attention is given to the possible role played by pHi-regulating transporters.
Background and purpose: The intracellular pH pHi of neurons is tightly regulated by, for example, membrane-bound acid-exchangers and loaders. Nevertheless, excessive bioelec. In turn, even a moderate acidification can inhibit neuronal activity, a process believed to be part of a neg. As moclobemide, an antidepressant, and also some antiepileptic drugs can reduce neuronal pHi in hippocampus slices in vitro, we screened a panel of currently used neuropsychopharmaca for comparable effects.
Changes in steady-state pHi of CA3 neurons were measured fluorometrically. Key results: The antipsychotics haloperidol, clozapine, ziprasidone, and the antidepressants amitriptyline, doxepin, trimipramine, citalopram, mirtazapine, as well as the anticonvulsive drug tiagabine reversibly reduced the steady-state pHi by up to 0.
In contrast, venlafaxine, the anticonvulsants carbamazepine, clonazepam, gabapentin, lamotrigine, zonisamide, and the mood stabilizer lithium had no effect on neuronal pHi. Conclusion and implications: These data substantiate the view that clin.
Effects on pHi should be taken into account when therapeutic or even harmful effects of these drugs are evaluated. Cancer Res. The extracellular pH pHe in many solid tumors is often lower than in normal tissues.
The effects of drugs which interfere with regulation of pHi were examd. Nigericin [], an ionophore which acidifies the cytoplasm when cells are placed in medium at low pHe, was not toxic at pHe 6. These drugs showed little or no toxicity in the pHe range of 6. A combination of all 3 drugs led to toxicity in the pHe range of 6.
A combination of low pH and hypoxia, 2 conditions likely to be found in regions distant from tumor blood vessels, caused cell mortality in the absence of drugs, and this effect was increased by nigericin used alone or in combination with amiloride and 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene 2,2-disulfonic acid.
These drugs may be regarded as prototypes for potential new anticancer agents that might achieve selective killing of tumor cells by interfering with the regulation of intracellular pH.
All cancer registries constantly show striking differences in cancer incidence by age and among tissues. For example, lung cancer is diagnosed hundreds of times more often at age 70 than at age 20, and lung cancer in nonsmokers occurs thousands of times more frequently than heart cancer in smokers. An analysis of these differences using basic concepts in cell biology indicates that cancer is the end-result of the accumulation of cell divisions in stem cells.
In other words, the main determinant of carcinogenesis is the number of cell divisions that the DNA of a stem cell has accumulated in any type of cell from the zygote. Cell division, process by which a cell copies and separates its cellular components to finally split into two cells, is necessary to produce the large number of cells required for living.
However, cell division can lead to a variety of cancer-promoting errors, such as mutations and epigenetic mistakes occurring during DNA replication, chromosome aberrations arising during mitosis, errors in the distribution of cell-fate determinants between the daughter cells, and failures to restore physical interactions with other tissue components.
Some of these errors are spontaneous, others are promoted by endogenous DNA damage occurring during quiescence, and others are influenced by pathological and environmental factors. The cell divisions required for carcinogenesis are primarily caused by multiple local and systemic physiological signals rather than by errors in the DNA of the cells. As carcinogenesis progresses, the accumulation of DNA errors promotes cell division and eventually triggers cell division under permissive extracellular environments.
The accumulation of cell divisions in stem cells drives not only the accumulation of the DNA alterations required for carcinogenesis, but also the formation and growth of the abnormal cell populations that characterize the disease. This model of carcinogenesis provides a new framework for understanding the disease and has important implications for cancer prevention and therapy.
Acta , , 1 — 24 , DOI: Two faces of the same coin-one single nature. Elsevier B. Looked at from the genetic point-of-view cancer represents a daunting and, frankly, confusing multiplicity of diseases at least that require an equally large variety of therapeutic strategies and substances designed to treat the particular tumor. However, when analyzed phenotypically cancer is a relatively uniform disease of very conserved hallmark' behaviors across the entire spectrum of tissue and genetic differences.
This suggests that cancers do, indeed, share common biochem. The challenge of modern oncol. This reductionist view gives the hope that, as in chem. That is, a rational therapeutic design. In the present review, we present evidence, obtained from a great no. Others, read on. Then the first letter, "e", is stored in AL since it is a single character, only one byte is needed. Then the first character of that string, "q", is stored in DL. The result of the previous expression is then converted into a string of characters and stored in the EDX register.
During this loop function, the EDI register is used as a counter. It is compared at the end of each loop to determine whether it is still greater than 0. EDI begins the loop as the number of characters in the "emfila" string i. The loop continues until the EDI register is no longer greater than 0.
