摘要:

近红外荧光特别是近红外Ⅱ区(1000~1700 nm)荧光在生物体内具有高组织渗透率、高时空分辨率、低背景荧光干扰和低光损伤的特点, 因此发展水溶性与生物相容性良好、量子产率高的长波段近红外荧光探针意义重大。本研究制备了不同荧光发射的Ag掺杂HgS量子点(HgAgS量子点)。在不同pH溶液中制备的HgAgS量子点荧光发射峰位于近红外Ⅱ区, 且呈现规律性变化; 随pH的增大, HgAgS量子点荧光发射峰先红移而后蓝移, 发射波长在pH 6时达到最大1110 nm; 原子吸收光谱表明在不同pH溶液中制备的HgAgS量子点, Ag的掺杂量(Ag/Hg比值)呈现出与荧光发射峰相同的规律性变化, 证明通过pH调控Ag的掺杂量从而调谐荧光发射峰的位置。HgAgS量子点的量子产率随pH先增加后降低, 在pH 7时达到最大13.23%(λem=1100 nm)。细胞毒性实验表明Ag的掺杂量对HgAgS量子点的细胞毒性无明显影响, 在1~50 μg/L浓度范围内均无明显细胞毒性。本研究结果不仅为体内进行近红外荧光成像提供了基础研究数据, 而且为荧光纳米探针的设计与制备提出了新的见解。

Abstract:

Design and preparation of near-infrared (NIR) especially NIR-Ⅱ (1000-1700 nm) fluorescence probe with favorable biocompatibility and high quantum yield have become the focus of noninvasive fluorescent imaging in recent years. In this study, Ag doped HgS QDs (HgAgS QDs) were prepared at different synthetic pH. With the increase of pH, the fluorescence emission peak of the HgAgS QDs red-shifted and then blue-shifted, reaching a maximum emission wavelength of 1110 nm (QY=8.12%) at pH 6.0. Atomic absorption spectroscopy showed that the doping amount of Ag (Ag/Hg ratio) changed regularly in HgAgS QDs prepared at different pH solutions, which was consistent with change of fluorescence emission position. It was proved that pH could tune the position of fluorescence emission peak by adjusting the doping amount of Ag. Moreover, the quantum yield (QY) of HgAgS QDs increased firstly and then decreased, presenting an optimum of 13.23% (λem=1100 nm) at pH 7.0. Cell viability tests demonstrated that the doping amount of Ag showed no significant effect on cytotoxicity. And all HgAgS QDs had no cytotoxicity at the concentration range of 1-50 μg/L, thus can be used as a pH-tunable NIR-Ⅱ fluorescent probe. These findings provide a promising application in the NIR fluorescent imaging and an interesting insight into the design and preparation of the NIR-Ⅱ fluorescence nanoprobe.
