Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a type of reactive oxygen species involved in numerous physiological activities. We previously reported that1O2-specific oxidation products are increased in patients with prediabetes, suggesting that measurement of1O2may be an important indicator of physiological and pathological conditions. The turnover in the generation and quenching of1O2is extremely rapid during biological activities owing to it high reactivity and short lifetime in solution. However, the dynamic changes in1O2generation in living cells have not been fully explored. In this study, we investigated whether the kinetics of1O2generation can be quantified using a far-red fluorescent probe for mitochondrial1O2, Si-DMA, following addition of the1O2generator, endoperoxide, to mammalian cells. The kinetics of Si-DMA fluorescence intensity dose-dependently increased following treatment of mammalian living cells with endoperoxide. Alternatively, treatment with1O2quenchers decreased the fluorescence intensities following endoperoxide treatment. Our results indicate that the kinetics of intracellular1O2can be readily obtained using Si-DMA and time-lapse imaging, which provides new insights into the mechanism of1O2generation in mammalian cells and the exploration of1O2generators and quenchers.
