ABSTRACT
Intracellular glucose detection is crucial due to its pivotal role in metabolism and various physiological processes. Precise glucose monitoring holds significance in diabetes management, metabolic studies, and biotechnological applications. In this study, we developed an innovative and expedient cell-permeable nanoreactor for intracellular glucose based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The nanoreactor was designed with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which were engineered with glucose oxide (GOx) and a H2O2-responsive Raman reporter 2-mercaptohydroquinone (2-MHQ). The interaction between 2-MHQ and H2O2 generated by glucose and GOx could simultaneously induce the appearance in the peak at 985 cm-1. Our results showed excellent performance in detecting glucose within the concentration range from 0.1 µM to 10 mM, with a low detection limitation of 14.72 nM. In addition, the glucose distribution in single HeLa cells was evaluated by real time SERS mapping. By combining noble metal particles and natural oxidases, the nanoreactor possesses both Raman activity and enzymatic functionality, thus enables sensitive glucose detection and facilitates imaging at a single cell level, which offers an insightful monitoring of cellular processes.
