Chen Z, Li R, Raza ST, Rene ER, Xie P, Liu Y. Environment-specific fluorescence probe for investigating the detection mechanism of nitric oxide in lakes. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2025; 494:138622. [PMID: 40393294 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2025.138622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2025] [Revised: 04/29/2025] [Accepted: 05/12/2025] [Indexed: 05/22/2025]
Abstract
As a highly active trace gas in the atmosphere, nitric oxide (NO) significantly affects the air quality. Additionally, NO plays a key role in lake eutrophication. Therefore, establishing a method for the rapid monitoring of NO emissions from lakes is essential. Detecting NO in water bodies presents challenges, including disruption of in-situ conditions, low temporal resolution, susceptibility to interference from complex water matrices, and insufficient long-term stability. Currently, high temporal and spatial resolution, anti-interference, and convenient detection techniques for lake environments are lacking. This study proposes, for the first time, the evaluation of NO distribution in lakes using small-molecule fluorescent probe (LR-P) technology, which detects NO through fluorescence changes. A multivariate linear parameterization of fluorescence quantum yield and fluorescence intensity against NO concentration was developed (R2=0.729, p < 0.001). Additionally, the abundance of NO-producing microbes containing nitrifying genes (amoA AOA and amoA AOB) and denitrifying genes (nirS, nirK, and nosZ genes) was significantly correlated with fluorescence quantum yield, suggesting that LR-P could detect NO and related microbial abundances in natural lakes. This study presents a rapid and convenient method for analyzing NO distribution and the abundance of NO-related functional genes in lakes. The integration of fluorescence technology with molecular methods offers a novel approach for NO detection in natural water bodies, providing new insights into the nitrogen cycle in lakes.

[PMID: 40431815 PMCID: PMC12114855 DOI: 10.3390/s25103018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2025] [Revised: 04/27/2025] [Accepted: 05/07/2025] [Indexed: 05/29/2025]
Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that plays pivotal roles in various physiological and pathological processes. The recent literature has seen significant progress in the development of highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probes applicable for monitoring ONOO- dynamics in live cells and a variety of animal models of human diseases. However, the clinical applications of those probes remain much less explored. This review delves into the biological roles of ONOO- and summarizes the design strategies, sensing mechanisms, and bioimaging applications of near-infrared (NIR), long-wavelength, two-photon, and ratiometric fluorescent probes modified with a diverse range of functional groups responsive to ONOO-. Furthermore, we will discuss the remaining problems that prevent the currently developed ONOO- probes from translating into clinical practice.
