New Strategies and Tactics for Optical Imaging of Zinc, Mercury, and NO in
Metalloneurochemistry
Metalloneurochemistry
Examples where metal ions and coordination compounds play a key role in neurobiology:
Ion Channels and pumps: Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+
Signaling at the synapse: Zn2+ (hippocampal CA3 cells), NO (guanylyl cyclase), Ca2+ (synaptotagmin)
Metalloenzymes and neurotransmitters: dopamine -hydroxylase, -amidating monooxygenase
Review: S. C. Burdette & S. J. Lippard, PNAS, 2002, 100, 3605-3610.
Toxic Effects of Metal Ions in Neurobiology
Metal ions have also been connected with neurological disorders including:
Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS; Cu/Zn)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD; Fe, Cu and Zn)
Prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (Cu and Zn)
Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease
Environmental contamination (Hg and Pb)
Research Objectives
Construct bright, fast-responding fluorescent sensors for zinc(II) and nitric oxide, and apply to understand neurochemical signaling by these species.
Synthesize fluorescent, “turn-on” sensors for mercury(II) ion and apply to detect environmental mercury.
Ultimately develop “optical imaging” as a complement to MRI for connecting behavior with chemistry in primates and humans.
Zinc and the Neurosciences
Labile Zn2+: chelatable Zn2+ co-localized with Glu in vesicles of hippocampus, which controls learning and memory.
Adapted from http://www.ahaf.org/alzdis/about/brain_head.jpg
Neuronal Zn2+: Brain contains highest Zn2+ concentrations in body (mM).
Mobile Zn2+: Up to 300 M Zn2+ released into synaptic cleft of dentate gyrus-CA3 mossy fiber projections in hippocampus.
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2003, 100, 3605
Adapted from Nature 2002, 415, 277.
• ZnT-3 is a Zn2+ transporter that loads the vesicles in presynaptic neurons (300 M)

PresynapticGlutamate
Nerve Terminal
PostsynapticNeuron
• Knockout mice lacking ZnT-3 have few neuro-logical symptoms and do not get -amyloid plaques
• Released Zn2+ binds to extracellular side of NMDA receptor
Uncontrolled Zn2+ Release and Neuronal Damage
Neurotoxicity: Uncontrolled Zn2+ release during seizures induces acute neuronal death.
Neurodegenerative Diseases: Disrupted Zn2+ release triggers amyloid peptide aggregration and the formation of crosslinked extracellular plaques. Elevated levels of Zn2+ observed in Alzheimer’s patients. AD attacks hippocampus in earliest stage.

Choi and Koh, Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 1998, 21, 347
• Detect Zn2+ release from presynaptic terminal to the synapse, and onto and into the postsynaptic neuron
• Correlate Zn2+ fluxes with synaptic with synaptic strength; simultaneously image Zn2+ fluxes and measure activities of ligand-gated ion channels (e.g., glutamate receptors).
• Use to map neural networks
Physiology
• Map Zn2+ in living tissue during plaque formation

Requirements for Biological Sensors
1. Water soluble, bind analyte rapidly and reversibly, and have the ability to tune the lipid solubility.
2. Excitation wavelengths > 340 nm for passage through glass andminimization of UV-induced cell damage.
3. Emission wavelengths > 500 nm to avoid fluorescence fromnative species in the cell. 700-900 nm for imaging applications.
4. Different emission wavelengths for bound and unbound fluorophores, so that measurements of analyte concentrations can be made with correctable background for unbound sensor.
5. Controlled diffusion across cell membrane for intracellular retention and/or trapping.
6. Tunable dissociation constant (Kd) wrt analyte concentration.

X-ray Crystal Structure of Zinpyr-1 Complex
NMR studies show free ligand and formation of 1:1 and 2:1 complexes. The 1’ and 8’ protons on fluorescein ring are indicative
of the structure. The lactone ring forms as a result of crystallization; in solution, the complex is in the open, fluorescent form.

Brief Introduction to Two-Photon Microscopy (TPM)
TPM - 3D imaging technology based on nonlinear excitation of fluorophores
OPE TPE One Photon Two Photon
Jablonski Diagrams of the absorption-emission process
Comparison of imaging methods
TPM has 4 unique advantages:1. Significantly reduces photodamage, facilitating imaging of living species2. Permits sub-m resolution imaging of specimens at depths of hundreds of m3. Highly sensitive since the emission signal is not contaminated by excitation light4. Initiate photochemical reactions in subfemtoliter volumes inside tissues and cells

Zinpyr-4 Stains Zinc-Injured Neurons, but Not Zinc-Filled Vesicles (Neuropil)
Hippocampal Neurons Damaged After Epileptic Seizure
Epileptic seizure was drug-induced in rats. Zinc floods are released from synaptic terminals. Zinc enters vulnerable neurons. Zinpyr-4, being charged, cannot penetrate vesicles and thus images zinc only in the damaged neurons. The images are seen after slicing in the microtome. A significant improvement over TSQ, which images all zinc, being lipophilic.

Esterase Treatment of Coumazin-1
Treatment of CZ-1 with commercial pig liver esterase yields parent fluorophores. Coumarin 343 fluorescence (ex 445 nm, em 488 nm) indicates ester hydrolysis obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Cell studies are in progress (Woodroofe & Lippard, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2003).

Michaelis-Menten kinetics of Coumazin-1
Results:
534: 488 = 0.5 (no Zn2+)
534: 488 = 4.0 (xs Zn2+)
Coumarin fluorescence is unaffected, whereas Zinpyr fluorescence increases in response to added Zn2+
A 2 M solution of Coumazin-1 in HEPES buffer (pH 7.5) was treated with pig liver esterase (Sigma) overnight. Zn2+ was titrated into a 2 mL aliquot and the fluorescence spectrum was recorded with excitation at both 445 nm and 488 nm.

Implications and Future Work
• The Zinpyr family of intracellular sensors are excellent for use in two-photon microscopy and have been optimized in second generation synthetic studies to reduce background in the unbound sensor.
• A trappable Zinpyr sensor is available.
•Zinpyr sensors image Zn2+-containing synaptic vesicles in brain slices, as well as Zn2+ exogenously applied to living cells and in injured neurons.
• The extracellular sensor ZP4 has identified previously unseen, highly fluorescent cells that become more abundant in pups and following trauma.
• Coumazin, a dual fluorophore sensor, is ratiometric; cell studies are in progress.

Work of Liz Nolan
Nitric Oxide and the Neurosciences
NO and brain function (positive aspects):Neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) is
expressed in postsynaptic terminal of neurons in the brain. Proposed to act as a retrograde neurotransmitter in the hippocampus during memory formation.
NO and brain damage (negative aspects):Forms reactive nitric oxide species (RNOS) such as
NO2 and NO-, as well as ONOO-, peroxynitrite. All are potentially neurotoxic and implicated in disorders including HD, ALS, AD, MS, & stroke.
Goal: Obtain an in vivo sensor for NO, which can have a physiological lifetime of ≤ 10 min and diffuse 100-200 m.
NO in the Brain
NOS

Presynapticneuron
Postsynapticneuron
NO
Current research relies on use of NOS inhibitors and NO donors to elucidate neuronal functions of NO
Stimulation of the postsynaptic neuron by NO results in synthesis of cGMP by soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)
NO acts as a neurotransmitter by passive diffusion from its point of synthesis to the target neuron
Existing NO Detectors in Biology
Griess assay for nitrite; electrochemical microsensors;fiber optic fluorescent sensors: all have liabilities.
Soluble fluorescent sensors are desirable.
Known as FNOCTs, fluorescent NO chelotropic traps,these non-coordination compound sensors are valuable.Problem: requires a reductant.

NO Sensors - Summary of Progress
Semiporous Membrane - An Approach to the Water Solubility Problem
Aqueous NO at 1.9 (left) and 0 (right) mM in contact with 20 µM [Ru2(OAc)4]:Ds- PIP in a 2 :1 ratio. The two solutions are separated with a silicone polymer membrane and irradiated with a hand-held illuminator, 365 nm (Lim and Lippard, unpublished).
Implications and Future Work
•A strategy has been designed to use coordination chemistry to build NO sensors. Ligand dissociation upon NO binding allows fluorescence to increase significantly.
•Needed improvements sensing NO in vivo include: water solubility; better quantum yields and longer wavelength excitation; greater fluorescence enhancement; ratioability; additional biological compatibility.
•This strategy was tactically applied to provide the first reversible NO sensor based on a ligand-tethered fluorophore bound to (-acetato)-dirhodium(II). Dissociation of the fluorophore in organic solvents following NO binding yields bright fluorescence.
•Introduction of an aqueous NO solution through a semi-permeable membrane provides a route to fashion fiber optical NO sensing devices for biological applications.
