A real-time method to measure intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would be very impactful in characterizing rapid changes that occur in physiologic and pathophysiologic states. Current methods do not provide the sensitivity, specificity and spatiotemporal resolution needed for such experiments on intact cells. We developed the use of HyPer, a genetic indicator for H2O2 that can be expressed in the cytosol (cyto-HyPer) or the mitochondria (mito-HyPer) of live cells. INS-1 cells or islets were permeabilized and the cytosolic HyPer signal was a linear function of extracellular H2O2, allowing fluorescent cyto-HyPer signals to be converted into H2O2 concentrations. Glucose increased cytosolic H2O2, an effect that was suppressed by overexpression of catalase. Large perturbations in pH can influence the HyPer signal, but inclusion of HEPES [4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid] in the perfusate prevented pH changes, but did not affect glucose-induced cyto-HyPer signals, suggesting that this effect is largely pH-independent. Using the assay, two fundamental questions were addressed. Knockdown of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), the mitochondrial form of SOD, completely suppressed glucose-induced H2O2. Furthermore, glucose also induced mitochondrial superoxide and H2O2 production, which preceded the appearance of cytosolic H2O2. Therefore, glucose-induced H2O2 largely originated from mitochondria. Finally, the glucose-induced HyPer signal was less than 1/20th of that induced by toxic levels of H2O2. Overall, the use of HyPer for real-time imaging allowed resolution of acute changes in intracellular levels of H2O2 and will have great utility for islet studies involving mechanisms of H2O2-mediated signaling and oxidative stress.

<p>Hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) is a second messenger that mediates the biology of wound healing, apoptosis, inflammation, aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and more. Its presence has been fluorometrically imaged with protein- or small molecule-based sensors. However, only protein-based sensors have afforded temporal insights with the resolution of seconds. Small molecule-based fluorogenic probes are preferred for various reasons; however, current electrophilic chemosensors react with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> slowly, requiring >20 minutes for a sufficient response. Here, we report a fluorogenic probe that selectively reacts with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and undergoes a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement (seleno-Mislow-Evans rearrangement) followed by an acetal hydrolysis to produce a green fluorescent molecule in seconds. The mode of reaction is based on the umpolung of previously developed sensors; the probe acts as a nucleophile rather than an electrophile. The fast kinetics outcompete the reaction between thiols and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, enabling real-time imaging of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> produced inside the subcellular compartments of cells in 8 seconds. Further, the probe was able to recapitulate data previously observed only with a genetically encoded protein-based sensor. The present probe design provides a platform that can match the temporal resolution of protein-based H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> detection. </p>
