Abstract |
Here, we report a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/fluorescence bimodal amplification platform for the detection of glutathione (GSH) on the basis of redoxable manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets, which can be readily applied as a DNA nanocarrier, fluorescence quencher, and intracellular GSH-activated MRI contrast agent. The binding of aptamers that absorbed on the MnO2 nanosheets to their target can facilitating the endocytosis of target-nanoprobes. Once endocytosed, the MnO2 nanosheets can react with cellular GSH, resulting in the disintegration of nanosheets to generate plenty of Mn2+ ions for MRI and releases the primers which were adsorbed on the MnO2 nanosheets. Then the rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction was initiated to amplify the fluorescence signal. In addition, after treatment with GSH, the MnO2 nanosheets were reduced and then most of the fluorescence was recovered. Therefore, this MnO2 nanoprobe exhibits excellent selectivity, suggesting a potential detection platform for analyzing the glutathione level in cells.
