Sumario:A new method for senescent cell detection is described, which is based on lipofuscin labeling with a fluorescent reporter through a biorthogonal strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The sensing protocol involves a first step where the interaction of lipofuscin with a Sudan Black B derivative containing an azide moiety (SBB-N-3) is carried out. In the final step, the azide moiety reacts with a fluorophore containing a cyclooctene ring (BODIPY). The efficacy of this two-step protocol is assessed in senescent melanoma SK-MEL-103 cells, senescent triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and senescent WI-38 fibroblasts. In all cases, a clear fluorescence pattern was observed in senescent cells, compared to proliferative cells, only when the SBB-N-3-BODIPY probe was formed. Our results provide an alternative tool for the detection of senescent cells, based on an in situ bio-orthogonal reaction for lipofuscin labeling.
