Abstract:
Highly sensitive and specific imaging of ATP in living cells remains a challenge. Here, a novel aptasensor based endogenous enzyme-powered DNA walker for imaging ATP was proposed. The strategy leverages the highly expressed APE1 in tumor cells as the driving force of the DNA walker, achieving high sensitivity and superior imaging contrast. The method can detect ATP as low as 3.43 μM within 1 h. The approach can also effectively monitor intracellular ATP expression fluctuations and successfully differentiate between normal and cancer cells with high contrast.
