ABSTRACT
Early treatment significantly improves the survival rate of liver cancer patients, so the development of early diagnostic methods for liver cancer is urgent. Liver cancer can develop from viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver, and fatty liver, thus making the above diseases share common features such as elevated viscosity, reactive oxygen species, and reactive nitrogen species. Therefore, accurate differentiation between other liver diseases and liver cancer is both a paramount practical need and challenging. Numerous fluorescent probes have been reported for the diagnosis of liver cancer by detecting a single biomarker, but these probes lack specificity for liver cancer in complex biological systems. Obviously, using multiple liver cancer biomarkers as the basis for judgment can dramatically improve diagnostic accuracy. Herein, we report the first fluorescent probe, LD-TCE, that sequentially detects carboxylesterase (CE) and lipid droplet polarity in liver cancer cells with high sensitivity and selectivity, with linear detection of CE in the range of 0-6 U/mL and a 65-fold fluorescence enhancement in response to polarity. The probe first reacts with CE and releases weak fluorescence, which is then dramatically enhanced due to the decrease in lipid droplet polarity in liver cancer cells. This approach allows the probe to enable specific imaging of liver cancer with higher contrast and accuracy. The probe successfully achieved the screening of liver cancer cells and the precise identification of liver cancer in mice. More importantly, it is not disturbed by liver fibrosis, which is a common pathological feature of many liver diseases. We believe that the LD-TCE is expected to be a powerful tool for early diagnosis of liver cancer.
