PG - 102165 LID - S0143-4160(20)30007-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ceca.2020.102165 [doi] AB - Genetically Encoded Calcium Indicators (GECIs) are powerful molecular tools for monitoring calcium (Ca(2+)) signaling in the cytosol and organellar compartments. However, currently available ratiometric indicators that allow measurements of resting Ca(2+) levels have limitations in long-term Ca(2+) imaging. They either are ultraviolet (UV)-excited ones with strong photo-toxicity, or have poor performance. To overcome this hurdle, we developed a set of visible light excited ratiometric-GECIs (VR-GECIs) based on existing mono-colored GECIs. With performance comparable to their corresponding mono-color prototypes, this set of VR-GECIs enables long-term measurements of intra-cellular or intra-organellar Ca(2+) signals. Using these VR-GECIs together with a newly developed off-line analysis tool, we achieved long-term measurements of Ca(2+) homeostasis of moving or dividing cells. Our tools may find broad applications in decoding Ca(2+)-modulated physiological or pathological processes. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.. All rights reserved.
