ABSTRACT: Nitric oxide (NO) potentially plays a regulatory role in mitochondrial fusion and fission, which are vital to cell survival and implicated in health, disease and aging. Molecular tools facilitating study of the relationship between NO and mitochondrial dynamics are in need. We have recently developed a novel NO donor (NOD550). Upon photoactivation, NOD550 decomposes to release two NO molecules and a fluorophore. The NO release could be spatially mapped with sub-diffraction resolution and with a temporal resolution of 10 s. Due to the preferential localization of NOD550 at mitochondria, morphology and dynamics of mitochondria could be monitored upon NO release from NOD550.

Mitochondria undergo dynamic dislocation, morphological alteration, fusion and fission. These processes are vital for maintaining the physiological functions of mitochondria.1 Aberrations in mitochondrial dynamics are linked to mitophagy and cell survival.2,3 Nitric oxide (NO), an endogenous molecule implicated in vasodilation4, signal transduction5 and immune response6 etc. was recently recognized to also play regulatory roles on mitochondrial morphology and function.7-10 NO may activate PGC1α/NRF-1 to trigger biogenesis.11,12 NO can also inhibit Drp1 to induce excessive fission, which is further linked to neuronal injury and neurodegeneration.13-15 However, the plethora of mechanistic details of NO on mitochondrial dynamics remains largely unknown. It is noteworthy that studies on mitochondria dynamics have heavily relied on diffraction-limited fluorescence microscopies, for which the small diameter of mitochondria at ca. 250-500 nm represents a major challenge.16,17 Recent years have witnessed a paradigm shift toward the use of superresolution microscopic methods, e.g. stochastic optical reconstruction (STORM)18, photo-activated localization (PALM)19 and stimulated emission depletion (STED)20 in monitoring mitochondria dynamics21-24. Molecular tools facilitating convenient super-resolution monitoring of the synergy between nitric oxide and mitochondrial dynamics are anticipated. NO donors have often been employed alternatively to NO gas as the exogenous source in biological studies for convenience in handling.25 We expect to develop a NO donor, which is non-fluorescent and specifically localizes at mitochondria. Upon photo-activation, it releases both NO, which elicits downstream biological response, and a

fluorophore, which enables convenient monitoring of mitochondria dynamics. We further envisage that the fluorescence turn-on mechanism of this proposed NO donor is potentially compatible with the photo-activation localization microscopy (PALM) for super-resolution mapping of NO release if the two additional requirements are met. First, the NO donor does not absorb at where the resulting fluorophore absorbs to avoid erroneous activation by the excitation laser. Second, the resulting fluorophore should be bright and photostable so that enough photons are emitted to allow accurate localization before bleached. Regardless of the variety of NO donors reported in literature, such an NO donor is not yet available.26,27 Most release nitric oxide spontaneously without a photo-

Analytical Chemistry triggering mechanism, such as NONOates, nitrosothiols, and metal-nitroso complexes. Among the rationally designed photo-triggered NO donors reported thus far,most does not yield a fluorescence turn-on upon NO release.2832 NOD545 is the first class of NO donors exhibiting a fluorescence turn-on upon photo-triggered NO release.33 However, the resulting naphthalimide fluorophore is not suitable for localization. Herein, we report a novel high-payload NO donor (NOD550), which enables mapping of NO release and simultaneous monitoring of the mitochondrial dynamics with super resolution localization microscopy.

NOD550 was conveniently prepared via a two-step cascade starting from Rhodamine 6G in a high overall yield. The structure of NOD550 is established by NMR, MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Figure 1). The two nitrosamine moieties are near perpendicular with respect to the xanthene moiety, with a dihedral angle of 83o, presumably due to the allylic strain induced by the presence of an ortho-methyl group. Also, it is interesting to note that both nitrosamine moieties are twisted to the same side of the xanthene plane, away from the lactone moiety.

at ca. 310 nm (ε = 7500 cm-1M-1) and does not absorb in the visible spectral region (blue line in Figure 2A). NOD550 is non-fluorescent. Irradiation of a NOD550 solution (10 µM) in phosphate buffer (50 mM at pH = 7.4) containing 5% DMSO as a co-solvent at 375 nm induced the appearance of an intense absorption band with a maximum at 520 nm. Excitation at 520 nm gave an emission band with a maximum at 550 nm, in agreement with the spectral properties of compound 1. The fluorescence enhanced essentially linearly in the first ca. 2500 s and then leveled off (Figure 2B). The step-wise photolysis mechanism of NOD550 to 1 via a mono-denitrosated intermediate (2) upon UV irradiation was confirmed by MS spectroscopy (Figure 2C). The formation of NO upon photolysis of NOD550 was also confirmed by EPR (Figure S2). High chemostability of NOD550 in biological milieu can avoid unintended fluorescence turn-on and is vital for localization microscopy. Mechanistically, denitrosation may occur via transnitrosation or reductive denitrosation. Therefore, NOD550 (10 µM) in phosphate buffer (50 mM at pH = 7.4) with 5% DMSO was incubated with various biological thiols, or biorelevant reducing agents, i.e. cysteine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, resveratrol, tryptophan, up to 10 mM. The absorption spectra of these solutions were unattenuated after 30 min (Figure S4).

The feasibility of photoactivation of NOD550 was evaluated in live cells. A green laser at 532 nm did not activate NOD550. Upon irradiation by a short pulse of UV activation laser (375 nm at 10 W/cm2), formation of ~240 molecules of fluorophore 1 was induced. Over continuous exposure to the green laser irradiation (532 nm at 30 W/cm2), these active fluorophores were bleached in ca. 20 s. This activation-bleaching cycle was repeated (for 13 times in Figure 3). Essentially the same number of fluorophores was activated by each pulse of 375 nm laser. This verifies that the 375 nm laser can efficiently and reliably photoactivate cellular NOD550 to release the parent fluorophore 1 in a time-gated fashion. The feasibility of PALM imaging with NOD550 in HeLa cells was studied with a total internal reflection fluorescence microscope (TIRFM). As the Z-axis location was at the edge of the TIRF illuminating field, the angle of the laser was slightly adjusted to a highly inclined situation following the variable-angle epifluorescence microscopy (VAEM)34,35 for better imaging the inside cell components. The imaging medium was RPMI 1640 culture media sup

plemented with 10% FBS, without either additional oxygen depletion system or reductant. The PALM image was constructed from 1500 frames (Figure 4b), collected during 10 s with a rate of 150 Hz. Compared to the relatively short imaging duration, a good localization precision of 19 nm was achieved (Figure 4f). The mean number of photons emitted from each fluorophore was estimated to be ~2800 (Figure 4e). Compared to the wide-field image (Figure 4a), PALM image gave much improved structural resolution and revealed detailed morphological information of a certain type sub-cellular organelle, the twists and crossovers of which suggested that they are likely mitochondria. The widths of these structures (highlighted with the yellow line) were measured to be ca. 330 and 370 nm respectively, by fitting the intensity profile against Gaussian functions (Figure 4d). These values were in good agreement with literature reports36,37 of mitochondria. Figure 4c was enlarged boxed area in Figure 4b. The major fluorophore release sites (on the cross-section) down to 40 nm apart were readily identified (Figure 4g). The intracellular distribution of NOD550 was studied via colocalization analysis under confocal microscopy (Figure 5). NOD550 was inappropriate for direct distribution analysis, owing to its non-fluorescent nature. However, the product of NOD550 photolysis, dye 1, was bright and further evaluated in co-localization analysis. Mitotracker Deep Red was selected as a standard mitochondrial probe for its low overlapping spectra with NOD550. Before imaging, the cells were exposed to UV illumination to induce in situ generation of fluorophore 1 from NOD550 photolysis. The staining from two dyes exhibits a great similarity and the merged images show yellow marked overlapping. (Figure 5c,e). A Pearson's coefficient

of 0.81 suggests that photoproduct of NOD550 specificity stains in cell mitochondria.

The PALM image (Figure 4) and the co-localization study (Figure 5) have unambiguously indicated that the fluorescent product (1) localized in mitochondria. Where does NOD550 localize prior to photo-activation? To validate the mitochondrial specificity of NOD550, two-color localization imaging was performed with NOD550 and Mitotracker Deep Red (Figure 6). The location and morphology of the mitochondria were delineated by the wide field confocal microscopy in Figure 6b. Then, the sample

was imaged with localization microscopy and the singlemolecule tracks of each activated dye were followed (Figure 6d). Clearly, the entire molecular tracks from activetion to bleaching of essentially all activated dyes fall in the area of mitochondria highlighted by Mitotracker Deep Red. This strongly suggests that NOD550 also localizes to mitochondria prior to photoactivation.

namics of mitochondria is not clearly defined in this study and warrants further investigation.

Super-resolution monitoring of the morphological dynamics of mitochondria was then studied. PALM images of a mitochondria-rich area were acquired with a temporal resolution of 10 s over a course of 60 s (Figure 7). Evidently, mitochondria had exhibited significant morphological changes, including dislocations (blue arrow), fusion (red and orange arrow) and fission (green arrow) during this period. For example, the red arrows highlighted a fusion event of two mitochondria ca. 1.6 µm apart from each other. This fusion was completed within the initial 20 s. Compared to the existing chemical probes for super-resolution monitoring of the mitochondria dynamics, NOD550 is attractive from the following two aspects. First, PALM imaging with NOD550 can be performed in normal culture medium without an oxygen scavenging system or other reducing agents. This allows study of cells in their physiological state. Second, NOD550 makes it possible to monitor the subsequent changes of mitochondria morphology at relatively high temporal resolution upon releasing nitric oxide, which is a signaling molecule known to play a regulatory role in mitochondria dynamics. Therefore, NOD550 represents a valuable molecular tool in NO biology, allowing localization of NO release and morphological changes to mitochondria to be simultaneously monitoring with sub-diffraction resolution. The potential effects of the release NO on the observed dy-

In summary, we have developed a novel phototriggered NO donor (NOD550). Upon photo-activation by UV light, NOD550 decomposes to concomitantly release two equivalence of NO and a rhodamine dye (1), the bright fluorescence of which could be harnessed to study the localization, dose and kinetics of NO release with microscopic methods. We have noted that the absorption bands of NOD550 and 1 are well resolved and therefore selective excitation of 1 without erroneous activation of NOD550 could be achieved. Also, super resolution imaging of cellular NOD550 preferentially exhibits mitochondrial specificity and therefore motion blurring could be minimized. These two aforementioned premises has enabled us to map the localization of NOD550 activation, and hence NO release, with photo-activation localization microscopy (PALM) with spatial resolution of ca. 19 nm and a temporal resolution of ca. 10 s. Mitochondria morphology and even dynamics are readily revealed. We anticipate NOD550 to be a unique and valuable molecular tool for chemical biology. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Cell culture. HeLa (helacyton gartleri) cells were purchased from Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The cells were all maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Hyclone). The cells were cultured in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air at 37 oC (CO2 incubator, Thermo Scientific) and grown on 25 mm cover slips (Fisherbrand, 12-545-102) for 1–2 days to reach 70–90% confluency before use. Colocalization imaging. HeLa cells were incubated with 2 μM NOD550 and 0.5 μM Mitotracker Deep Red sequentially and washed with PBS for three times to remove excess dyes. Confocal images were recorded on an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope. Briefly, two lasers (488 nm for NOD550 and 635 nm for Mitotracker Deep

Analytical Chemistry Red) were sequentially applied for imaging to avoid emissive overlap between two dyes. Lasers were focused at the back focal plane of an UPLSAPO 100x oil objective. The fluorescence emission was filtered with a DM 405/488/559/635 and further separate to two channels with SDM 560. The wavelength selection performed by a galvanometer diffraction grating is used as following: 500560 nm for NOD550 and 645-715 nm for Mitotracker Deep Red. The colocalization data was analyzed with the manufacturer's software. Single molecule localization microscope. Imaging were performed on an Olympus IX71 inverted microscope. Two continuous lasers (200 W, Coherent, Sapphire 532200 and 150W, Coherent, OBIS 640-150) were automatically controlled by an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF). This laser was further transmitted through an optical fiber, adjusted by motorized-TIRFM illuminator and focused on the back focal plane of an Olympus UAPON 100xo TIRF objective (NA 1.49). Another 375 nm laser (50 mW, MLL-III-375L, Changchun new industries optoelectronics Tech.Co) was controlled by mechanical shutter(Uniblitz) and expanded before injected into the TIRF microscope. The emission from samples was filtered through a Semrock Di01-R405/488/532/635 filter and recorded on an Electron Multiplying CCD (Andor, 897U). Activation analysis. HeLa cells were stained with 5 nM NOD550 for 5 min and then washed with PBS for three times. The images were recorded at a frame rate of 20 Hz. During imaging, the 532 nm laser (30 W/cm2) was continually illuminated the sample for both detecting and bleaching the fluorescent molecules. The other 375 nm laser (10 W/cm2) was manually turned on every 20 seconds to trigger the NO release of NOR550. The point spread functions (PSF) on raw frames were further analyzed with ThunderStorm38. PALM imaging. HeLa cells were stained with 500 nM NOD550 for 5 min and then washed with PBS for three times. The final imaging medium was RPMI 1640 without phenol red (Macgene) supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone). Firstly, a wide-field image was recorded with < 1W/cm2 low laser light. During imaging, the sample was continually activated with a ~0.7 W/cm2 375 nm laser and excited with a ~2 kW/cm2 532 nm laser. 1500 images were acquired at 150 Hz. Two color localization imaging. The microscope was the same one as described earlier in single molecule localization microscope section except an implementation of a dual channel emission field splitter (OptoSplit II, Cairn Optics) before detected via the camera. The fluorescence from dye 1 and Mitotracker Deep Red was separated by a dichroic mirror (FF640-FDi01, Semrock) and two emission filter (FF01-585/40 and FF01-697/58, Semrock) equipped in the splitter into short and long wavelength emission. HeLa cells were simultaneously stained with 1 uM NOD550 and 50 nM Mitotracker Deep Red for 5 min. Then the cells were washed with PBS for three times and incubated with DMEM without phenol red (Macgene)

supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone). The wide-field image of Mitotracker Deep Red and the PALM imaging of NOD550 were performed simultaneously with two lasers on (~2 kW/cm2 532 nm laser and < 1W/cm2 low 647 nm light laser). The exposure time for each raw super resolution frame (in the short wavelength channel) and the raw wide-field image (in the long wavelength channel) was 0.008s. 1000 raw frame was obtained and further analyzed. The PALM imaging analysis is shown in the single molecule analysis section while first 10 raw wide-field image frames (the remaining frames were excluded for photobleaching) was summed to obtain the final wide-field image of mitochondria. Single molecule analysis. Single molecule and super resolution imaging analysis was performed in ThunderStorm. Briefly, the raw frames were filtered with difference-of-Gaussians filter to select the PSF candidates (For activation analysis, a B-Spline wavelet filter was used for evaluating the point spread functions (PSF) candidates). Then those PSFs were fitted with an integrated form of symmetric 2D Gaussian function (Fitting radius: 3.0 pixel) following Maximum likelihood method39-40 to gave the expected the precise location and single molecule intensity. The localization precision was calculated according to the Thompson formula41. Those PSFs with too low photons emitted (< 500), too high photons emitted (> 10000) or worse localization precision (> 50) are eliminated. In some single molecule localization microscopies, a single molecule PSF might exist across several frames before finally bleached. To avoid the excess localizations of a single fluorophore during imaging, the fitting locations in sequential frames within one-pixel size (160 nm) were merged. The new position was given as the mean lateral coordinates of the successive localizations from the same fluorophore. The single molecule tracking was analyzed with U-Tracker42. The photons emitted from single molecule could be converted from single molecule intensity through the equation below: Photons = (Isig-Ibg)*ADU/(QE*EMGAIN) Isig is the single molecule intensity from the fitting result. Ibg is the background intensity. ADU, the CCD sensitivity, and QE, the quantum efficiency of the camera, are read from the camera manufacturer’s performance sheet. EMGAIN is the gain value used in the experiments (300 in this experiment).
