摘要
The endoplasmic reticulum(ER)is an important targeting organelle for metal-based immunogenic cell death(ICD)inducers.Metal complexes can induce ER stress by causing protein misfolding,which can be reflected by alternations in micro-environmental parameters,including viscosity.We present here a theranostic Re(I)complex(Re1)that shows viscosity-dependent emission intensity and lifetime.Re1 can trigger immunogenic cell death(ICD)in MDA-MB-231 cells by localizing in the ER and causing ER stress.We demonstrate that Re1 can simultaneously induce and monitor the gradual increase in the ER viscosity quantitatively.
