Zinquin ethyl ester is a cell-permeable, quinolone-based fluorescent probe used as a zinc indicator. In live cells, cytosolic esterases cleave the ethyl ester group preventing its efflux across the plasma membrane. This probe is UV-excitable and emits in the blue region of the spectrum (excitation 368 nm, emission 490 nm). Zinquin ethyl ester has been used to monitor intracellular zinc fluxes associated with apoptosis.

Reactions of the fluorescent sensor, Zinquin, with the zinc-proteome: adduct formation and ligand substitution
Inorg Chem 2011 Oct 17;50(20):10124-33.PMID:21905645DOI:10.1021/ic201076w.
Zinquin (ZQ) is a commonly used sensor for cellular Zn(2+) status. It has been assumed that it measures accessible Zn(2+) concentrations in the nanomolar range. Instead, this report shows a consistent pattern across seven mammalian cell and tissue types that ZQ reacts with micromolar concentrations of Zn(2+) bound as Zn-proteins. The predominant class of products were ZQ-Zn-protein adducts that were characterized in vivo and in vitro by a fluorescence emission spectrum centered at about 470 nm, by their migration over Sephadex G-75 as protein not low molecular weight species, by the exclusion of reaction with lipid vesicles, and by their large aggregate concentration. In addition, variable, minor formation of Zn(ZQ)(2) with a fluorescence band at about 490 nm was observed in vivo in each case. Because incubation of isolated Zn-proteome with ZQ also generated similar amounts of Zn(ZQ)(2), it was concluded that this species had formed through direct ligand substitution in which ZQ had successfully competed for protein-bound Zn(2+). Parallel studies with the model Zn-proteins, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and alkaline phosphatase (AP) revealed a similar picture of reactivity: ZQ(ACID) (Zinquin acid, (2-methyl-8-p-toluenesulfonamido-6-quinolyloxy)acetate)) able to bind to one Zn(2+) and extract the other in Zn(2)-ADH, whereas it removed one Zn(2+) from Zn(2)-AP and did not bind to the other. Zinquin ethyl ester (ethyl(2-methyl-8-p-toluenesulfonamido-6-quinolyloxy)acetate); ZQ(EE)) bound to both proteins without sequestering Zn(2+) from either one. In contrast to a closely related sensor, 6-methoxy-8-p-toluenesulfonamido-quinoline (TSQ), neither ZQ(ACID) nor ZQ(EE) associated with Zn-carbonic anhydrase. A survey of reactivity of these sensors with partially fractionated Zn-proteome confirmed that ZQ and TSQ bind to distinct, overlapping subsets of the Zn-proteome.
Consequences of zinc deficiency on zinc localization, taurine transport, and zinc transporters in rat retina
Microsc Res Tech 2022 Oct;85(10):3382-3390.PMID:35836361DOI:10.1002/jemt.24193.
The colocalization of taurine and zinc transporters (TAUT, ZnTs) has not been explored in retina. Our objective is to evaluate the effect of the intracellular zinc chelator N,N,N,N-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN) on zinc localization and colocalization TAUT and ZnT-1 (of plasma membrane), 3 (vesicular), and 7 (vesicular and golgi apparatus) in layers of retina by immunohistochemistry. To mark zinc, it was used cell-permeable fluorescent Zinquin ethyl ester. Specific first and secondary antibodies, conjugated with rhodamine or fluorescein-isothiocyanate were used to mark TAUT and ZnTs. The fluorescence results were reported as integrated optical density (IOD). Zinc was detected in all layers of the retina. The treatment with TPEN produced changes in the distribution of zinc in layers of retina less in the outer nuclear layer compared with the control. TAUT was detected in all layers of retina and TPEN chelator produced decrease of IOD in all layers of retina except in the photoreceptor compared with the control. ZnT 1, 3, and 7 were distributed in all retina layers, with more intensity in ganglion cell layer (GCL) and in the layers where there is synaptic connection. For all transporters, the treatment with TPEN produced significant decrease of IOD in layers of retina least in the inner nuclear layer for ZnT1, in the photoreceptor for ZnT3 and in the GCL and outer plexiform layer for ZnT7. The distribution of zinc, TAUT, and ZnTs in the layers of retina is indicative of the interaction of taurine and zinc for the function of the retina and normal operation of said layers. HIGHLIGHTS: Taurine and zinc are two molecules highly concentrated in the retina and with relevant functions in this structure. Maintaining zinc homeostasis in this tissue is necessary for the normal function of the taurine system in the retina. The study of the taurine transporter and the different zinc transporters in the retina (responsible for maintaining adequate levels of taurine and zinc) is relevant and novel, since it is indicative of the interactions between both molecules in this structure.
Characterizing the inhibitory action of zinc oxide nanoparticles on allergic-type mast cell activation
Mol Immunol 2015 Aug;66(2):139-46.PMID:25771180DOI:10.1016/j.molimm.2015.02.021.
The development of nanoparticles (NPs) for commercial products is undergoing a dramatic expansion. Many sunscreens and cosmetics now use zinc oxide (ZnO) or titania (TiO2) NPs, which are effective ultraviolet (UV) filters. Zinc oxide topical creams are also used in mild anti-inflammatory treatments. In this study we evaluated the effect of size and dispersion state of ZnO and TiO2 NPs, compared to "bulk" ZnO, on mast cell degranulation and viability. ZnO and TiO2 NPs were characterized using dynamic light scattering and disc centrifugation. Rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL-2H3) cells and primary mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) were exposed to ZnO and TiO2 NPs of different sizes (25-200 nm) and surface coatings at concentrations from 1 to 200 μg/mL. The effect of NPs on immunoglobulin E (IgE)-dependent mast cell degranulation was assessed by measuring release of both β-hexosaminidase and histamine via colorimetric and ELISA assays. The intracellular level of Zn(2+) and Ca(2+) ions were measured using Zinquin ethyl ester and Fluo-4 AM fluorescence probes, respectively. Cellular viability was determined using the soluble tetrazolium-based MTS colorimetric assay. Exposure of RBL-2H3 and primary mouse BMMC to ZnO NPs markedly inhibited both histamine and β-hexosaminidase release. This effect was both particle size and dispersion dependent. In contrast, TiO2 NPs did not inhibit the allergic response. These effects were independent of cytotoxicity, which was observed only at high concentrations of ZnO NPs, and was not observed for TiO2 NPs. The inhibitory effects of ZnO NPs on mast cells were inversely proportional to particle size and dispersion status, and thus these NPs may have greater potential than "bulk" zinc in the inhibition of allergic responses.
Selectivity and specificity of small molecule fluorescent dyes/probes used for the detection of Zn2+ and Ca2+ in cells
Metallomics 2014 Feb;6(2):301-15.PMID:24356796DOI:10.1039/c3mt00283g.
Fluorescent dyes are widely used in the detection of labile (free or exchangeable) Zn(2+) and Ca(2+) in living cells. However, their specificity over other cations and selectivity for detection of labile vs. protein-bound metal in cells remains unclear. We characterized these important properties for commonly used Zn(2+) and Ca(2+) dyes in a cellular environment. By tracing the fluorescence emission signal along with UV-Vis and size exclusion chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-ICP-MS) in tandem, we demonstrated that among the dyes used for Zn(2+), Zinpyr-1 fluoresces in the low molecular mass (LMM) region containing labile Zn(2+), but also fluoresces in different molecular mass regions where zinc ion is detected. However, FluoZin™-3 AM, Newport Green™ DCF and Zinquin ethyl ester display weak fluorescence, lack of metal specificity and respond strongly in the high molecular mass (HMM) region. Four Ca(2+) dyes were studied in an unperturbed cellular environment, and two of these were tested for binding behavior under an intracellular Ca(2+) release stimulus. A majority of Ca(2+) was in the labile form as tested by SEC-ICP-MS, but the fluorescence from Calcium Green-1™ AM, Oregon Green® 488 BAPTA-1, Fura red™ AM and Fluo-4 NW dyes in cells did not correspond to free Ca(2+) detection. Instead, the dyes showed non-specific fluorescence in the mid- and high-molecular mass regions containing Zn, Fe and Cu. Proteomic analysis of one of the commonly seen fluorescing regions showed the possibility for some dyes to recognize Zn and Cu bound to metallothionein 2. These studies indicate that Zn(2+) and Ca(2+) binding dyes manifest fluorescence responses that are not unique to recognition of labile metals and bind other metals, leading to suboptimal specificity and selectivity.
Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 expression by zinc-chelator in retinal ischemia
Vision Res 2006 Sep;46(17):2721-7.PMID:16584753DOI:10.1016/j.visres.2006.02.014.
The zinc ion (Zn2+) is abundant in neurons. However, excessive Zn2+ can induce neuronal cell death. This study examined the role of Zn2+ in transient retinal ischemia in adult male rats. The rats were sacrificed 4-24 h after retinal ischemia by high intra-ocular pressure, and the retinas were prepared for microscopic examination of retinal cell degeneration, and fluorescence microscopy using Zinquin ethyl ester as the zinc ion-specific probe. Moreover, COX-2 expression was observed by Western blotting. In control retinas, there was a low Zn2+ concentration in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), a high Zn2+ concentration in the outer plexiform layer (OPL), and no detectable Zn2+ in either the ganglion cell layer (GCL) or the inner nuclear layer (INL). In contrast, in the retinas exposed to ischemia without the administration of the zinc ion chelators (Ca2+-EDTA and TPEN), Zn2+ deposits were found in the IPL and INL beginning 4 h after ischemia and degeneration of neurons was found in the GCL and INL. Less Zn2+ accumulation in the IPL and INL and less neuronal degeneration in the GCL and INL were found in the retinas treated with Ca2+-EDTA or TPEN before ischemia. Furthermore, the COX-2 protein levels increased 4-8 h after retinal ischemia, and chelation of zinc ion inhibited this effect. These results suggest that the accumulation of Zn2+ following an ischemic insult can cause retinal degeneration and induce abnormal COX-2 expression.
