BACKGROUND: Ferroptosis represents a unique form of regulated cell death that is distinct from apoptosis, necroptosis, and other modalities. It is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and the depletion of glutathione (GSH). Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a key endogenous gaseous signaling molecule, plays an essential role in various biological and physiological processes. However, owing to the lack of advanced monitoring techniques, elucidating the dynamic fluctuations of H2S during ferroptosis has posed significant challenges for researchers.
RESULTS: In this study, we designed and synthesized two lipid droplet-targeting fluorescent probes (Pr-SERA and Pr-SERB) to investigate the dynamic changes of H2S during ferroptosis. The results indicated that these probes possess high specificity, enabling effective monitoring of H2S concentration fluctuations. Specifically, in the Erastin-induced cell model, a gradual decrease in fluorescence intensity was observed; in contrast, Fer-1-treated cells exhibited a significant increase in fluorescence intensity. This observation aligns with the mechanism by which Erastin suppresses H2S production via the depletion of intracellular GSH, thereby further validating the progressive decline of H2S levels during ferroptosis. Moreover, these probes demonstrated excellent detection performance in zebrafish in vivo models, confirming their suitability and reliability for biological applications. Overall, the fluorescent probes developed in this study serve as valuable tools for elucidating the mechanisms of active molecules involved in ferroptosis.
SIGNIFICANCE: It is anticipated that the methodology developed in this investigation will provide a comprehensive and robust analytical tool for the accurate, in-situ quantification of H2S. This approach holds significant promise for advancing the understanding of ferroptosis and its associated disorders.
