Abstract
Developmental transitions and stress reactions in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes are tightly linked with fast and localized modifications in concentrations of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS). Fluorescent microscopic analyses are widely applied to detect localized production of ROS and RNS in vivo. In this mini-review we discuss the biological characteristics of studied material (cell wall, extracellular matrix, and tissue complexity) and its handling (concentration of probes, effect of pressure, and higher temperature) which influence results of histochemical staining with “classical” fluorochromes. Future perspectives of ROS and RNS imaging with newly designed probes are briefly outlined.
Past and presence of fluorescent probes for localization of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated and scavenged over the whole life span of all known types of aerobic organisms. In plants and fungi production of ROS, together with reactive nitrogen species (RNS), has been linked with almost all developmental processes from germination through reproduction until cell death (Asada, 2006; Blokhina and Fagerstedt, 2010). ROS and RNS represent two classes of highly reactive signaling compounds indispensable also for stress reactions to extreme environmental factors, pathogens, or injuries (Wojtaszek, 1997; Qiao et al., 2014; Del Río, 2015; Dietz et al., 2016; Sedlářová et al., 2016; Raja et al., 2017). In spite of extensive studies, metabolism of both ROS forms, i.e., molecular (H2O2, hydrogen peroxide; 1O2, singlet oxygen) and free radicals (, superoxide anion; OH•, hydroxyl radical; HO2•, perhydroxy radical; RO•, alkoxy radicals), and RNS (·NO, nitric oxide; ONOO−, peroxynitrite; and others) still has not been completely understood. Quite recently, peroxynitrite (formed upon NO reaction with superoxide anion) was shown as a positive regulator of plant cell signaling by tyrosine nitration in proteins (Vandelle and Delledonne, 2011) and tightly linked to necrotrophic phase of oomycete pathogenesis (Arasimowicz-Jelonek et al., 2016). ROS and NO-mediated signaling is tightly connected with molecules influencing normal ontogeny, acclimation, and pathophysiology, including multiple hormones, enzymes, and genes (Gill and Tuteja, 2010; León et al., 2014; Nie et al., 2015; Saxena et al., 2016; Raja et al., 2017). Timing of generation, degradation, and diffusion of ROS and RNS within different cellular compartments have therefore attracted attention in many model organisms (Del Río, 2015; Considine et al., 2017). Cross-talk of ROS and RNS has been pointed out also in peroxisomes (Corpas et al., 2017) and signal transduction to other organelles, e.g., mitochondria, Golgi, and endoplasmic reticulum, has been shown (Wanders et al., 2016).
Methods for ROS/RNS detection in plant material based on histochemical staining, e.g., with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) for hydrogen peroxide (Thordal-Christensen et al., 1997) or nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT) for superoxide (Jabs et al., 1996), are still being applied for stereomicroscopy and light microscopy, esp. in Arabidopsis research. Cell-permeable fluorescence-based probes were subsequently introduced to detect tiny real-time changes in ROS and RNS levels within relevant cellular compartments, e.g., DCF DA and DHDCF DA for detection of ROS (Kehrer and Paraidathathu, 1992; Hempel et al., 1999), DAF-2 DA and DAF-FM DA for NO (Kojima et al., 1999; Lombardo et al., 2006), or SOSG for singlet oxygen (Flors et al., 2006; Kim et al., 2013). A wide range of ROS and NO targeted fluorescent probes has been marketed but some of the most commonly used ones were found to suffer from low selectivity and specificity toward the analyte (e.g., DHDCF DA) or from photosensitization during incubation and microscopy (e.g., SOSG). In order to minimize artifacts, a sample staining in dark and visualization by (multiphoton) confocal microscopy has been advised. Nevertheless, fluorochromes able to cross plasma membrane (e.g., in diacetate form) which can be loaded into cells just by placing the samples (cells, tissues) into a solution of the dye significantly simplified ROS and RNS in vivo monitoring and enabled expansion of these techniques within plant science community. Considering the use of proper controls (e.g., ROS/RNS donors for positive controls, and ROS/RNS scavengers for negative ones), proper sample washing, keeping constant time of staining/scanning within a set of experiments, using optimal pH and turgor pressure can contribute to obtaining of correct results. Still it should be emphasized that histochemical staining and subsequent microscopic detection cannot be used for accurate ROS/RNS quantification but the combinations of several different analytical methods can give more reliable estimation of their intracellular levels (Gupta and Igamberdiev, 2013).
Optimization of staining procedures for different photosynthetic and fungal organisms in our laboratory showed that results of ROS/RNS imaging in multicellular biological matrices are significantly influenced by the feasibility of material infiltration with the applied probes (Figure 1). Current studies unveiled cell wall (CW) as a dynamic structure able to adapt to various conditions of growth, development, and environmental stresses; together with plasma membrane and periplasmic space, it regulates the flow of molecules into and out of the cell (Lesage and Bussey, 2006). The relative composition of polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and proteins in CW varies among species and cell types, and changes with their developmental stage (Popper et al., 2011, 2014; Ochoa-Villarreal et al., 2012). In addition, stress factors induce CW reinforcement, such as deposition of lignin or callose in plant-pathogen interactions (Prats et al., 2008; Sedlářová et al., 2011; Miedes et al., 2014). Similarly, materials deposited either intercellularly or in tissue exterior (e.g., cutin and suberin, polyesters which function as permeability barriers to the movement of water) influence the penetration rate of used fluorescence probes. Our extensive experience, based on optimizing incubation conditions for different materials, combined with literary data resulted in Table 1 which summarizes cell wall composition in photosynthetic and fungal organisms together with comparison of concentrations used for ROS/RNS imaging with three commonly used probes (DHDCF DA, DAF-FM DA, and SOSG). Optimal experimental conditions (incubation time, temperature, probe concentration) differ among various model phototrophic organisms (higher plants, algae, and cyanobacteria), fungi and “fungi-like” organisms (oomycetes; Table 1). Although, the unicellular structures [protoplasts (Figure 1CI), pollen (Figure 1CIV), green algae, and thin-walled spores (Figure 1CII)] can be stained easily in general the probe concentration must be increased and incubation time prolonged for cyanobacteria, which are characterized by higher cross-linking of polysaccharides in the cell wall and production of external mucoid sheath (Hoiczyk and Hansel, 2000). For unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis, widely used photosynthetic model, the concentration of SOSG was increased from commonly used 50 μM up to 250 μM together with incubation temperature increased from room temperature to 37°C (Sinha et al., 2012). Relatively easy staining and imaging can be achieved on agar media (Figure 1A) for germinating fungi (Figure 1CII) and some oomycetes but also for plant pollen (Figure 1CIV) and small seeds. Higher concentrations of probes are advisable for plant tissues (Table 1; Figures 1CIII,V,VI). Excised leaves uptake the probes by xylem transport but longer periods of such incubations are inappropriate for most fluorochromes (Figure 1B). Natural openings like stomata (which represent ~1% of leaf blade epidermal cells, 50–300/mm2), hydatodes (at leaf edge), or nectaria (in flowers) can enhance the introduction of fluorochromes into the living tissues of above-ground plant organs. The fluorochromes uptake in multicellular organs can thus be enhanced by increased external or decreased internal pressure, e.g., by syringe or vacuum infiltration, respectively (Figure 1B). Moreover, cutting tissue into pieces significantly increases penetration rates (Figures 1CV,VI) but several layers of mechanically injured cells on the cutting edge must be omitted from the evaluation (Prasad et al., 2017).

Dawn of reliable ROS and RNS imaging?
Recognized drawbacks of commercially available fluorescence probes for ROS and RNS detection initiated a quest for improved tools to measure more accurately the differential in vivo patterns of ROS and RNS abundance within plant organs and meristems. Newly synthesized probes with increased specificity and improved photostability have been reported, such as Aarhus Sensor Green preferable to SOSG for singlet oxygen (Pedersen et al., 2014), but these are for various reasons of limited availability to users. Therefore, the need for further development of improved probes that can image individual endogenous ROS and RNS still continues. Recently, a new family of o-hydroxyamino-triarylpyrylium salts-based probes for NO detection was reported (Beltrán et al., 2014). A new fluorescent probe ContPY1 was prepared for investigations of hydrogen peroxide and tested in Arabidopsis, both on cultured cells and on leaves (Ledoux et al., 2013). Also, a single fluorescent probe, capable of simultaneous monitoring of both NO and H2O2 endogenously produced in living macrophages (Yuan et al., 2012) was synthesized. However, similarly to genetically encoded fluorescence proteins applicable for ROS monitoring (Schmitt et al., 2014) or immuno-spin traping (Mason, 2016), it has not yet been successfully applied to plant research.
Fluorescein derivatives have become replaced in animal ROS and RNS research by more specific molecular probes based on nanoparticles or redox-sensitive fluorescent proteins (for review see Guo et al., 2014; Peteu et al., 2014). As an example, the entirely new probe PAM-BN-PB (composed of three functional parts: phenanthroimidazole, benzonitrile, and phenyl boronate) was designed to detect H2O2 with good selectivity based on intramolecular charge transfer (Chen et al., 2017), and tested on human and animal cells and in vitro. However, the “classical fluorescent probes” based mainly on diaminofluorescein derivatives, still represent important tools to study ROS and RNS in plant science (Nie et al., 2015; Figure 1C). This can be partly attributed to more demanding protocols due to presence of CW and other extracellular matrices (Table 1) influencing the uptake of “new generation” probes. Encapsulating fluorescent probes into nanoparticles was reported to improve their stability, such as in peroxalate nanoprobe undergoing a three-component chemiluminescence reaction between H2O2, peroxalate esters, and fluorescent dyes as published for in vivo imaging of H2O2 in mouse model (Lee et al., 2007). Near-IR probes have been lately incorporated into polymeric micelles modified with animal cell-penetrating peptides, esp. for peroxynitrite imaging experiments (Tian et al., 2011). However, (nano)micelles uptake by fusion with the plasma membrane is hindered in plant and fungal cells and up-to-date protocols for the cell wall removal exert excessive oxidative stress to the plant cells (Petřivalský et al., 2012).
Although, a plethora of ROS and RNS sensing molecules have been designed, just a part of them has been confirmed experimentally to be suitable for ROS and RNS in vivo monitoring. The situation resembles a “population bottle-neck”; only a reduced number of protocols are applicable to ROS and RNS microscopy in plant and fungal models and thus these few remain fixed in routine practice for a substantial period. With increasing knowledge on the importance of localized and tiny intracellular redox fluctuations the quantitative and spatio-temporal analysis of ROS and RNS levels in plant and fungal cells is still highly challenging.
