In this paper, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensor for ultra-sensitive detection of H2O2 was developed by utilizing the unique enzymatic properties of peroxiredoxin (Prx) to H2O2. Cyan and yellow fluorescent protein (CFP and YFP) were fused to Prx and mutant thioredoxin (mTrx), respectively. In the presence of H2O2, Prx was oxidized into covalent homodimer through disulfide bonds, which were further reduced by mTrx to form a stable mixed disulfide bond intermediate between CFP-Prx and mTrx-YFP, inducing FRET. A linear quantification range of 10–320 nM was obtained according to the applied protein concentrations and the detection limit (LOD) was determined to be as low as 4 nM. By the assistance of glucose oxidase to transform glucose into H2O2, the CFP-Prx/mTrx-YFP system (CPmTY) was further exploited for the detection of glucose in real sample with good performance, suggesting this CPmTY protein sensor is highly practical.

Green fluorescent, pH dependent and water soluble copper nanoclusters (3–5 nm) were synthesized by stabilizing with lysozyme and these were demonstrated for imaging in both healthy and cancer cell lines as an alternate to green fluorescent protein.

In this report, a novel live acinar exocytosis imaging technique is described. An adenovirus was engineered, encoding for an endogenous zymogen granule (ZG) protein (syncollin) fused to pHluorin, a pH-dependent green fluorescent protein (GFP). Short-term culture of mouse acini infected with this virus permits exogenous adenoviral protein expression while retaining acinar secretory competence and cell polarity. The syncollin-pHluorin fusion protein was shown to be correctly localized to ZGs, and the pH-dependent fluorescence of pHluorin was retained. Coupled with the use of a spinning disk confocal microscope, the syncollin-pHluorin fusion protein exploits the ZG luminal pH changes that occur during exocytosis to visualize exocytic events of live acinar cells in real-time with high spatial resolution in three dimensions. Apical and basolateral exocytic events were observed on stimulation of acinar cells with maximal and supramaximal cholecystokinin concentrations, respectively. Sequential exocytic events were also observed. Coupled with the use of transgenic mice and/or adenovirus-mediated protein expression, this syncollin-pHluorin imaging method offers a superior approach to studying pancreatic acinar exocytosis. This assay can also be applied to acinar disease models to elucidate the mechanisms implicated in pancreatitis.
