Abstract

AbstractHypoxia is involved in various diseases, such as cancers. Pimonidazole has often been used as the gold-standard marker to visualize hypoxic regions. Pimonidazole labels hypoxic regions by forming a covalent bond with a neighboring protein under hypoxic conditions in the body, which is detected by immunohistochemistry performed on tissue sections. To date, some pimonidazole-fluorophore conjugates have been reported as fluorescent probes for hypoxia imaging that do not require immunostaining. They are superior to pimonidazole because immunostaining can produce high background signals. However, large fluorophores in the conjugates may alter the original biodistribution and reactivity. Here, we report a new hypoxia marker, Pimo-yne, as a pimonidazole-alkyne conjugate. Pimo-yne has a similar hypoxia detection capability as pimonidazole because the alkyne tag is small and can be detected by Cu-catalyzed click reaction with azide-tagged fluorescent dyes. We successfully visualized hypoxic regions in tumor tissue sections using Pimo-yne with reduced background signals. The detected regions overlapped well with those detected by pimonidazole immunohistochemistry. To further reduce the background, we employed a turn-on azide-tagged fluorescent dye.
