Fatty liver disease (FLD) has become an increasing global health risk. However, an accurate diagnosis of FLD at an early stage remains a great challenge due to lack of suitable imaging tools. To this end, we developed the first fluorescent two-photon aggregationinduced emission (AIE) luminogen ABCXF for high-contrast imaging of FLD tissue. ABCXF has a large Stokes shift, good two-photon absorption cross-section, bright red emission, high fluorescence quantum yield in solid state, and excellent photostability. It shows abnormal intramolecular charge transfer effect instead of twisted intramolecular charge transfer effect in polar solvents. Photophysical and crystal data demonstrated that it exhibits nonaromatic rotors - trifluoromethyto contribute to its AIE effect. Biocompatible lipid droplet-targeting ABCXF can selectively light up lesions in the FLD tissue with a high signal-to-noise ratio. It shows superior imaging performances compared to Oil Red O. Thus, ABCXF can be a powerful tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of FLD from a liver biopsy.

1. Needle biopsy specimens of liver were obtained from six control subjects with histologically normal liver and 11 chronic alcoholics with fatty liver. 2. Micro- and macro-lipid droplet fractions were isolated by differential flotation. These fractions, together with the sedimenting membranes, were assayed for cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, phospholipid, free fatty acids and triglyceride. 3. Electron microscopy demonstrated marked differences in the range of lipid droplet sizes in the two fractions and biochemical analysis suggested that the microdroplet lipid corresponded to pre-very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles. 4. Studies on biopsies from patients with alcoholic fatty liver showed a 2–3-fold increase in triglyceride in both lipid droplet fractions but most of the accumulating triglyceride was sedimentable and membrane-bound. 5. Needle biopsy specimens from two patients with alcoholic fatty liver were fractionated with a vertical pocket re-orientating rotor. The principal organelles were separated and the subcellular distribution of triglyceride, phospholipid and free cholesterol determined. Triglyceride showed a bimodal distribution to a particulate fraction tentatively located to Golgi particles and to droplet-lipid remaining in the sample layer.
