Abstract
- [Display omitted] • Cz-Boranil to visualise mitochondrial interaction with lipid droplets. • Cz-Boranil can demonstrated distinct intracellular distribution patterns in both normal and cancerous cells. • Cz-Boranil can successfully track the coordinated interactions of lipid droplets and mitochondria during ferroptosis and apoptosis. Intracellular lipid systems play essential roles in various physiological functions and cell growth processes. However, our understanding of the intricate interactions within this system, especially between mitochondria and lipid droplets, is limited, particularly in the context of cancer cells' altered lipid metabolism. To address this, our study introduces an N -B-O BODIPY-hexylcarbazole derivative, named Cz-Boranil, that sets a new benchmark in visualizing these critical interactions. Cz-Boranil's unique capability lies in its ability to display distinct intracellular distribution patterns in both normal and cancer cells, offering nuanced cell type-specific differentiation. More impressively, this probe tracks the coordinated interactions of lipid droplets and mitochondria during the critical processes of ferroptosis and apoptosis. We believe that the innovative capabilities of Cz-Boranil will revolutionize our understanding of intracellular lipid interactions and prove pivotal in identifying and studying cancerous cells.
