Abstract
- Hydrogen sulfide (H<subscript>2</subscript>S) has multifunctional roles as a gas signaling molecule in living systems. However, the efficient detection and imaging of H<subscript>2</subscript>S in live animals is very challenging. Herein, we report the first radioisotope-based immobilization technique for the detection, quantification, and in vivo imaging of endogenous H<subscript>2</subscript>S. Macrocyclic <superscript>64</superscript>Cu complexes that instantly reacted with gaseous H<subscript>2</subscript>S to form insoluble <superscript>64</superscript>CuS in a highly sensitive and selective manner were prepared. The H<subscript>2</subscript>S concentration in biological samples was measured by a thin-layer radiochromatography method. When <superscript>64</superscript>Cu-cyclen was injected into mice, an elevated H<subscript>2</subscript>S concentration in the inflamed paw was clearly visualized and quantified by Cerenkov luminescence and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. PET imaging was also able to pinpoint increased H<subscript>2</subscript>S levels in a millimeter-sized infarcted lesion of the rat heart. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
