Abstract:
The polymorphic formation of G-quadruplex brings more attentions, because changes of formation sites affect many physiological processes, like telomere maintenance, transcription and DNA replication. These processes are highly susceptible to ROS-induced oxidative damage. In this work, bichromophoric cores of symmetric squaraine probe SQ linked with ether chain is conducive to the recognition of G-quadruplex, based on the mechanism of intra or intermolecular "aggregation-disaggregation". Several interaction behaviors, such as self-aggregation, binding affinity, stoichiometric ratio, were fully investigated via spectrum titration, circular dichroism, fluorescent intercalator displacement assay, and molecular docking. Furthermore, tracking G-quadruplex distribution in the cytoplasm was monitored by SQ during the oxidative stress enhancement. Interestingly, the Gquadruplex levels in the cytoplasm of cancer cells were slightly higher than that of normal cells to deal with oxidation-reduction imbalance. Overall, the lower detection limit of SQ for parallel G-quadruplex like pu27 is as low as 7.2 nM; and the complex of SQ and G-quadruplex will not change the topological structure of G-quadruplex. It has good sensitive and stability for parallel type of G-quadruplex. It is a potential tool for bioimaging of G-quadruplex in the cytoplasm.
