Hydrophilic Fluorescent Nanogel Thermometer for Intracellular Thermometry

Abstract: The first methodology to measure intracellular temperature is described. A highly hydrophilic fluorescent nanogel thermometer developed for this purpose stays in the cytoplasm and emits stronger fluorescence at a higher temperature. Thus, intracellular temperature variations associated with biological processes can be monitored by this novel thermometer with a temperature resolution of better than 0.5 degrees C.

“…Thus, several approaches have been proposed to detect cellular temperature response using the emission intensity or lifetime of organic dyes (Chapman et al, 1995;Gota et al, 2009) and transition metal ions (Zohar et al, 1998;Suzuki et al, 2007). These pioneering works were able to provide the average temperature for individual cells.…”

“…Among these emerging thermometers, which are based on lanthanide nanoparticles (Vetrone et a., 2010;Peng et al, 2010;Brites et al, 2010;Fisher et al, 2011), dye-coated nanoparticles (Huang et al, 2010), quantum dots (Yang et al, 2010), semiconducting polymer dots (Ye et al, 2011), temperature-responsive polymers (Chen & Chen, 2011;Gota et al, 2009) and a fluorescent nanogel thermometer (FNT) by combining a thermo-responsive polymer with a water-sensitive fluorophore (Okabe et al, 2012). To the point, the last is the only thermometer that allows the mapping of intracellular temperatures due to its ability to diffuse throughout living cells and its sensitivity to temperature.…”

“…As the temperature is increased, the polymer shrinks, accompanied by the release of water molecules, resulting in fluorescence enhancement due to the BD units. Such nanosystems are applicable for the monitoring of temperature-dependent intracellular events, as demonstrated by studies with COS7 cells, in which environmental pH and surrounding proteins did not affect the performance of the polymer (Gota et al, 2009). Similarly, dual fluorescent micelles based on tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate and hostasol methacrylate have been synthesized, and were shown to be spontaneously taken up by HeLa cells .…”

“…Usually, the PNIPAM-based fluorescent hydro-gels, reported from other research groups, exhibit an on−off feature during the temperature change around the PNIPAM LCST. 1,6,9,[21][22][23]30 An on−off PL feature imposes limits on potential applications, compared to a continuously TR PL system.…”
