The advent of phototransformable fluorescent proteins has led to significant
advances in optical imaging, including the unambiguous tracking of cells over
large spatiotemporal scales. However, these proteins typically require activating
light in the UV-blue spectrum, which limits their in vivo applicability due to
poor light penetration and associated phototoxicity on cells and tissue. We
report that cyanine-based, organic dyes can be efficiently photoconverted by
nonlinear excitation at the near infrared (NIR) window. Photoconversion likely
involves singlet-oxygen mediated photochemical cleavage, yielding blue-shifted
fluorescent products. Using SYTO62, a biocompatible and cell-permeable dye, we
demonstrate photoconversion in a variety of cell lines, including depth-resolved
labeling of cells in 3D culture. Two-photon photoconversion of cyanine-based dyes
offer several advantages over existing photoconvertible proteins, including use
of minimally toxic NIR light, labeling without need for genetic intervention,
rapid kinetics, remote subsurface targeting, and long persistence of
photoconverted signal. These findings are expected to be useful for applications
involving rapid labeling of cells deep in tissue.
