Cell experiment: | 1% aqueous solution of Nile blue A is prepared and filtered before use. Mild heating may be necessary to fully dissolve the stain. Heat-fixed smears of bacterial cells are stained with the Nile blue A solution at 55°C for 10 min in a coplin staining jar. After being stained, the slides are washed with tap water to remove excess stain and with 8% aqueous acetic acid for 1 min. The stained smear is washed and blotted dry with bibulous paper, remoistened with tap water, and covered with a no. 1 glass cover slip. The preparation is examined with a Nikon Labphot microscope with an episcopic fluorescence attachment[1]. The PHA− strain Escherichia coli UT5600(DE3) is stained with Nile blue A. In an Erlenmeyer flask, 20 mL of Luria–Bertani (LB) broth is inoculated with one colony of UT5600(DE3) and incubated for 14 h at 37 °C and 200 rpm. Subsequently, 20 mL of LB broth containing Nile blue A in a final concentration of 0.5 μg/mL is inoculated with 200 μL of the 14-h culture and cultured to an optical density at 578 nm (OD578) of 0.6. As a control, 20 mL of LB broth (without Nile blue A) is inoculated with 200 μL of the 14-h culture and is also cultured to an optical density at OD578 of 0.6. Every 20 min, the OD578 is determined for both cultures to verify whether there is any influence of the dye on the growth of the bacteria[2]. Nile blue A stock solution is prepared using ethanol as the solvent. The concentration of NB is maintained at 5 μM for all the studies. The solutions are left for 1 h to achieve equilibrium before spectral measurements. The absorption spectra are recorded using Shimadzu Spectrophotometer (UV-1800) and the emission spectra are recorded using Jobin–Yvon Spectrofluorimeter. A 450 nm nano-LED is used as the light source and the fluorescence lifetime is collected at λem=672 nm[3]. |

Nile Blue A is used to differentiate melanins and lipofuscins. It is also useful for staining fats and preparation of an amperometric glucose sensor.
Nile blue A is a basic oxazine dye which is soluble in water and ethyl alcohol. Nile blue A is a satisfactory stain for PHB granules in bacteria and is in fact superior to Sudan black B for this purpose. Poly-p3-hydroxybutyrate granules exhibits a strong orange fluorescence when stained with Nile blue A. Nile blue A appears to stain many more PHB granules than Sudan black B does and is not as easily ished from the cell by decolorization procedures[1]. Nile blue A is used as a stain for polyhydroxyalkanoic acid-accumulating microorganisms or to detect polyhydroxyalkanoic acids in microorganisms. Escherichia coli cells that do not accumulate detectable polyhydroxyalkanoic acids can be stained with Nile blue A and that this staining is sufficient for identifying these cells in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) experiments. Nile blue A staining does not affect either surface display of peptides or specific labeling of these peptides by a second fluorescence. Staining E. coli for flow cytometry using Nile blue A is an easy-to-handle and low-cost alternative to other fluorescent dyes or the intracellular expression of, for example, green fluorescent protein[2]. Nile blue A is one of the most studied benzophenoxazine dyes, as a potent photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy. The dye when administered intravenously disperses throughout the body by circulating through blood and is taken up by most cells that emphasize its interaction with various biomolecule[3].

A dual-wavelength overlapping resonance Rayleigh scattering method for the determination of chondroitin sulfate with nile blue sulfate
A dual-wavelength overlapping resonance Rayleigh scattering (DWO-RRS) method was developed to detect chondroitin sulfate (CS) with nile blue sulfate (NBS). At pH 3.0-4.0 Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer medium, CS interacted with NBS to form an ion-association complex. As a result, the new spectra of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), second order scattering (SOS) and frequence doubling scattering (FDS) appeared and their intensities were enhanced greatly. Their maximum wavelengths were located at 303 nm (RRS), 362 nm (RRS), 588 nm (SOS) and 350 nm (FDS), respectively. The scattering intensities of the three methods were proportional to the concentration of CS in certain ranges. The methods had high sensitivity and the detection limits were between 1.5 and 7.1 ng mL(-1). The DWO-RRS method had the highest sensitivity with the detection limit being 1.5 ng mL(-1). The characteristics of the spectra and optimal reaction conditions of RRS method were investigated. The effects of coexistent substances on the determination of CS were evaluated. Owing to the high sensitivity, RRS method had been applied to the determination of CS in eye drops with satisfactory results. The recovery range was between 99.4% and 104.6% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was between 0.4% and 0.8%. In addition, the reasons for RRS enhancement were discussed and the shape of ion-association complex was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
Interactions of Nile blue with micelles, reverse micelles and a genomic DNA
In this contribution we report studies on the nature of binding of a small ligand/drug Nile blue (NB) with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles, bis-(2-ethylehexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/isooctane reverse micelles (RM) and a genomic DNA extracted from Salmon sperm. With detailed steady state and picosecond resolved optical spectroscopic techniques, we examined the fluorescence quenching of the ligand upon complexation with the SDS monomers and DNA. Polarization analyzed picosecond-resolved fluorescence measurements reveal geometrical restriction on the probe in SDS micelles, AOT-RM and DNA. Steady state and time resolved studies on the probe in nanocages of AOT RM with various degrees of hydration (w(0)) reveal the existence of NB as two distinct species namely, neutral and cationic. This study confirms that the emission of NB in aqueous micelles and DNA solution is due to the cationic form of the drug. Our experiments clearly identified non-specific electrostatic and intercalative modes of interaction of the probe with the DNA at lower and higher DNA concentrations respectively. The nature of binding of NB in presence of the DNA and SDS micelles reveals that the binding affinity of the probe is higher with the micelles than with the DNA. The complex rigidity of NB with DNA and its fluorescence quenching with DNA elucidate a strong recognition mechanism between NB and DNA.
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy of Morphology and Apoptosis in Organogenesis-Stage Mouse Embryos
Background: After fluorochromes are incorporated into cells, tissues, and organisms, confocal microscopy can be used to observe three-dimensional structures. LysoTracker Red (LT) is a paraformaldehyde-fixable probe that concentrates into acidic compartments of cells and indicates regions of high lysosomal activity and phagocytosis, both of which correlate to apoptotic activity. Thus, LT is a good indicator of apoptosis visualized by confocal microscopy. Results of LT staining of apoptotic cell death correlate well with other whole mount apoptosis vital dyes such as Nile blue sulfate and neutral red, with the added benefit of being fixable in situ. Nile blue sulfate can also be used as a non-vital, nonspecific dye to visualize general morphology. Stains such as acridine orange can be used for surface staining of fixed embryos to yield confocal images that are similar to scanning electron micrographs.
Methods: Mouse embryos were stained with LT, fixed with paraformaldehyde/glutaraldehyde, dehydrated with methanol (MEOH), and cleared with benzyl alcohol/benzyl benzoate (BABB). Following this treatment, the tissues were nearly transparent. Embryos are mounted on depression slides, and serial sections are imaged by confocal microscopy, followed by 3-D reconstruction.
Results: Embryos or tissues as thick as 500 microns (μm) can be visualized after clearing with BABB. LysoTracker staining reveals apoptotic regions in organogenesis-stage mouse embryos. Morphological observation of tissue was facilitated by combining autofluorescence with Nile blue sulfate staining of fixed embryos or opaque surface staining with acridine orange staining.
Conclusions: The use of BABB for clearing LT vital-stained and fixed embryos matches the refractive index of the tissue to the suspending medium, allowing increased penetration of laser light in a confocal microscope. Nile blue sulfate used as a non-vital dye provides a nonspecific staining of fixed embryos that can then be cleared with methyl salicylate for confocal observation. Sample preparation and staining procedures described here, with optimization of confocal laser scanning microscopy, allow for the detection and visualization of morphological structure and apoptosis in embryos up to 500 μm thick, and stained specimens can be fixed and mounted on depression slides.
Long-wavelength fluorimetric determination of food antioxidant capacity using Nile blue as reagent
A method for the determination of the antioxidant capacity using long-wavelength fluorescence measurements is described for the first time. This method is a modification of the conventional oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) method that uses fluorescein or phycoerythrin and the generator of peroxyl radicals, 2,2'-azo-bis-(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH). The long-wavelength fluorophor nile blue is proposed as an analytical reagent alternative to these conventional fluorophores. Kinetic curves have been obtained by monitoring the fluorescence variation (λex, 620; λem, 680 nm) with time, using the 96-well microplate format. The vitamin E analogue 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox) has been chosen as the model analyte, and the normalized area under the decay curve has been used as the analytical parameter. The dynamic range of the calibration curve is 0.8-8.0 μM, and the detection limit is 0.45 μM. The precision of the method, expressed as relative standard deviation and assayed using 1 and 5 μM Trolox concentrations, was 5.6 and 2.9%, respectively. The method has been applied to the analysis of fruit juices and wines, obtaining results that did not differ significantly from those provided using the ORAC method with fluorescein as reagent.
