[PMID: 37652143 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Beta-galactosidase (β-gal), a typical glycosidase catalyzing the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, is regarded as a vital biomarker for cell senescence and cancer occurrence. Given the advantages of high spatiotemporal resolution, high sensitivity, non-invasiveness, and being free of ionizing radiations, fluorescent imaging technology provides an excellent choice for in vivo imaging of β-gal. In this review, we detail the representative biotech advances of fluorescence imaging probes for β-gal bearing diverse fidelity-oriented improvements to elucidate their future potential in preclinical research and clinical application. Next, we propose the comprehensive design strategies of imaging probes for β-gal with respect of high fidelity. Considering the systematic implementation approaches, a range of high-fidelity imaging-guided theragnostic are adopted for the individual β-gal-associated biological scenarios. Finally, current challenges and future trends are proposed to promote the next development of imaging agents for individual and specific application scenarios.

Abstract
Diabetic cataract (DC) surgery carries risks such as slow wound healing, macular edema, and progression of retinopathy and is faced with a deficiency of effective drugs. In this context, we proposed a protocol to evaluate the drug's efficacy using lipid droplets (LDs) as the marker. For this purpose, a fluorescent probe PTZ-LD for LDs detection is developed based on the phenothiazine unit. The probe displays polarity-dependent emission variations, i.e., lower polarity leading to stronger intensity. Especially, the probe exhibits photostability superior to that of Nile Red, a commercial LDs staining dye. Using the probe, the formation of LDs in DC-modeled human lens epithelial (HLE) cells is validated, and the interplay of LDs-LDs and LDs-others are investigated. Unexpectedly, lipid transfer between LDs is visualized. Moreover, the therapeutic efficacy of various drugs in DC-modeled HLE cells is assessed. Ultimately, more LDs were found in lens epithelial tissues from DC patients than in cataract tissues for the first time. We anticipate that this work can attract more attention to the important roles of LDs during DC progression.

Abstract
Flourished in the past two decades, fluorescent probe technology provides researchers with accurate and efficient tools for in situ imaging of biomarkers in living cells and tissues and may play a significant role in clinical diagnosis and treatment such as biomarker detection, fluorescence imaging-guided surgery, and photothermal/photodynamic therapy. In situ imaging of biomarkers depends on the spatial resolution of molecular probes. Nevertheless, the majority of currently available molecular fluorescent probes suffer from the drawback of diffusing from the target region. This leads to a rapid attenuation of the fluorescent signal over time and a reduction in spatial resolution. Consequently, the diffused fluorescent signal cannot accurately reflect the in situ information of the target. Self-immobilizing and self-precipitating molecular fluorescent probes can be used to overcome this problem. These probes ensure that the fluorescent signal remains at the location where the signal is generated for a long time. In this review, we introduce the development history of the two types of probes and classify them in detail according to different design strategies. In addition, we compare their advantages and disadvantages, summarize some representative studies conducted in recent years, and propose prospects for this field.

Abstract
Early evaluation and prediction of the radiotherapy effect against tumors are crucial for effective radiotherapy management. The clinical approach generally relies on anatomical changes in tumor size, which is unable to promptly reflect clinical outcomes and guide a timely adjustment of therapy regimens. To resolve it, we herein develop a self-assembled organic probe (dCyFFs) with caspase-3 (Casp-3)-activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluoro-photoacoustic signals for early evaluation and prediction of radiotherapy efficacy. The probe contains an NIR dye that is caged with a Casp-3-cleavable substrate and linked to a self-assembly initiating moiety. In the presence of Casp-3, the self-assembled probe can undergo secondary assembly into larger nanoparticles and simultaneously activate NIR fluoro-photoacoustic signals. Such a design endows a superior real-time longitudinal imaging capability of Casp-3 generated by radiotherapy as it facilitates the passive accumulation of the probe into tumors, activated signal output with enhanced optical stability, and retention capacity relative to a nonassembling small molecular control probe (dCy). As a result, the probe enables precise prediction of the radiotherapy effect as early as 3 h posttherapy, which is further evidenced by the changes in tumor size after radiotherapy. Overall, the probe with Casp-3-mediated secondary assembly along with activatable NIR fluoro-photoacoustic signals holds great potential for evaluating and predicting the response of radiotherapy in a timely manner, which can also be explored for utilization in other therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
Generally, different isoforms of proteins exert separate biological functions. However, due to similar structures and identical catalysis functions, distinguishing isoforms is challenging. Summarizing a molecular design strategy has great significance in developing a protein-specific fluorescent probe. Usually, recognition of a group was deemed to be the key to a protein isoform-specific response. However, some novel literature reported that fluorophore could play a vital role in the protein isoform-specific response. It means that any part of the fluorescent probe could affect the detected properties. In this work, we report the generation of the first probe to specifically recognize HexA(β-N-acetylhexosaminidase A), Hex-C4, by adjusting the length of the linker. Hex-C4 exhibits specific recognition of HexA both in vitro and in living cells. The integration of the fluorescent spectrum and the MD (molecular dynamics) results provide two factors for the molecular design of isoform-specific fluorescent probes. One is the interaction between tetraphenyl ethylene (AIE fluorogen) and amino acid residues, and the other is the interaction between amino acid residues and the binding group. In this work, a powerful tool to detect HexA in living cells is reported for the first time. Further, a workable molecular design strategy for protein isoform-specific fluorescent probes is summarized.

Abstract
A resorufin-based dual-locked fluorescent probe (RHT) was introduced to image melanoma cells selectively. RHT was shown to function as an AND molecular logic gate as it emitted a signal only in the presence of both hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and tyrosinase (Tyr), which are known to be overexpressed in melanoma cells. In vitro cell culture studies revealed that RHT can be activated with endogenous H2S and Tyr and allows selective imaging of B16-F10 cancer cells under confocal microscopy. RHT marks the first ever example of a fluorescent probe that is sequentially activated by H2S and Tyr.

Abstract
Over the past decade, remarkable advances have been witnessed in the development of small-molecule probes. These molecular tools have been widely applied for interrogating proteins, pathways and drug-target interactions in preclinical research. While novel structures and designs are commonly explored in probe development, the clinical translation of small-molecule probes remains limited, primarily due to safety and regulatory considerations. Recent synergistic developments - interfacing novel chemical probes with complementary analytical technologies - have introduced and expedited diverse biomedical opportunities to molecularly characterize targeted drug interactions directly in the human body or through accessible clinical specimens (e.g., blood and ascites fluid). These integrated developments thus offer unprecedented opportunities for drug development, disease diagnostics and treatment monitoring. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the structure and design of small-molecule probes with novel functionalities and the integrated development with imaging, proteomics and other emerging technologies. We further highlight recent applications of integrated small-molecule technologies for the molecular analysis of drug-target interactions, including translational applications and emerging opportunities for whole-body imaging, tissue-based measurement and blood-based analysis.

Abstract
Since their inception, rhodamine dyes have been extensively applied in biotechnology as fluorescent markers or for the detection of biomolecules owing to their good optical physical properties. Accordingly, they have emerged as a powerful tool for the visualization of living systems. In addition to fluorescence bioimaging, the molecular design of rhodamine derivatives with disease therapeutic functions (e.g., cancer and bacterial infection) has recently attracted increased research attention, which is significantly important for the construction of molecular libraries for diagnostic and therapeutic integration. However, reviews focusing on integrated design strategies for rhodamine dye-based diagnosis and treatment and their wide application in disease treatment are extremely rare. In this review, first, a brief history of the development of rhodamine fluorescent dyes, the transformation of rhodamine fluorescent dyes from bioimaging to disease therapy, and the concept of optics-based diagnosis and treatment integration and its significance to human development are presented. Next, a systematic review of several excellent rhodamine-based derivatives for bioimaging, as well as for disease diagnosis and treatment, is presented. Finally, the challenges in practical integration of rhodamine-based diagnostic and treatment dyes and the future outlook of clinical translation are also discussed.

[PMID: 37376918 PMCID: PMC10424634 DOI: 10.1039/d2cs00928e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
T cells are an essential part of the immune system with crucial roles in adaptive response and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Depending on their microenvironment, T cells can be differentiated into multiple states with distinct functions. This myriad of cellular activities have prompted the development of numerous smart probes, ranging from small molecule fluorophores to nanoconstructs with variable molecular architectures and fluorescence emission mechanisms. In this Tutorial Review, we summarize recent efforts in the design, synthesis and application of smart probes for imaging T cells in tumors and inflammation sites by targeting metabolic and enzymatic biomarkers as well as specific surface receptors. Finally, we briefly review current strategies for how smart probes are employed to monitor the response of T cells to anti-cancer immunotherapies. We hope that this Review may help chemists, biologists and immunologists to design the next generation of molecular imaging probes for T cells and anti-cancer immunotherapies.

BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:811. [PMID: 37622897 PMCID: PMC10452626 DOI: 10.3390/bios13080811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
The modulation of numerous signaling pathways is orchestrated by redox regulation of cellular environments. Maintaining dynamic redox homeostasis is of utmost importance for human health, given the common occurrence of altered redox status in various pathological conditions. The cardinal component of the thioredoxin system, mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) plays a vital role in supporting various physiological functions; however, its malfunction, disrupting redox balance, is intimately associated with the pathogenesis of multiple diseases. Accordingly, the dynamic monitoring of TrxR of live organisms represents a powerful direction to facilitate the comprehensive understanding and exploration of the profound significance of redox biology in cellular processes. A number of classic assays have been developed for the determination of TrxR activity in biological samples, yet their application is constrained when exploring the real-time dynamics of TrxR activity in live organisms. Fluorescent probes offer several advantages for in situ imaging and the quantification of biological targets, such as non-destructiveness, real-time analysis, and high spatiotemporal resolution. These benefits facilitate the transition from a poise to a flux understanding of cellular targets, further advancing scientific studies in related fields. This review aims to introduce the progress in the development and application of TrxR fluorescent probes in the past years, and it mainly focuses on analyzing their reaction mechanisms, construction strategies, and potential drawbacks. Finally, this study discusses the critical challenges and issues encountered during the development of selective TrxR probes and proposes future directions for their advancement. We anticipate the comprehensive analysis of the present TrxR probes will offer some glitters of enlightenment, and we also expect that this review may shed light on the design and development of novel TrxR probes.

Light has profoundly impacted modern medicine and healthcare, with numerous luminescent agents and imaging techniques currently being used to assess health and treat diseases. As an emerging concept in luminescence, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has shown great potential in biological applications due to its advantages in terms of brightness, biocompatibility, photostability, and positive correlation with concentration. This review provides a comprehensive summary of AIE luminogens applied in imaging of biological structure and dynamic physiological processes, disease diagnosis and treatment, and detection and monitoring of specific analytes, followed by representative works. Discussions on critical issues and perspectives on future directions are also included. This review aims to stimulate the interest of researchers from different fields, including chemistry, biology, materials science, medicine, etc., thus promoting the development of AIE in the fields of life and health.

Abstract
Due to the highly significant biological activity of hypochlorous acid, the monitoring of its concentration in vivo has received extensive attention. In this work, a photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) based benzo-bodipy fluorescent probe BBy-T has been developed for the rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of HClO in an aqueous solution. Based on the HClO-specific oxidation reaction, BBy-T exhibited a distinct fluorescence turn-on response to HClO with a remarkable Stokes shift (84 nm), immediate response (less than 20 s), and low detection limit (13.7 nM). In addition, the bioimaging results indicated that the probe BBy-T could be applied to real-time fluorescence imaging of living HeLa cells as well as living zebrafish.

Abstract
A fluorescent sensor that allows simultaneous analysis of environmental factors in a limited cellular space is useful for understanding precise molecular interactions in live cells and their biological responses. Macropinocytosis is a ubiquitous endocytic pathway for massive uptake of extracellular fluids, resulting in the formation of macropinosomes. Although macropinocytosis may impact intracellular delivery and cancer proliferation, information on the intracellular behaviors of macropinosomes is limited. Here, we aimed to develop a macropinoscope, a sensor that simultaneously detects pH and cathepsin B activity in individual macropinosomes. A macropinosome-specific marker, dextran (70 kDa), was employed as a platform, onto which fluorescein, Oregon Green, and tetramethylrhodamine were loaded for ratiometric pH sensing and imaging. A cathepsin-B-cleavable peptide sequence bearing sulfo-Cy5 and the quencher BHQ-3 was also mounted; cleavage of the sequence was detected as an increase in sulfo-Cy5 fluorescence. A steep decrease in pH was observed 5-10 min after macropinosome formation, which was accompanied by an immediate increase in cathepsin B activity. Our design concept will lead to the development of other macropinoscopes for the simultaneous detection of other parameters in individual macropinosomes.

Abstract
As an important endogenous gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been implicated with a variety of biological processes and has attracted more and more attention for its key role in a wide range of pathological processes. However, lacking tools for H2S-specific in situ detection, the changes of endogenous H2S levels in the pathological progression of diseases are still unclear. In this work, a turn-on fluorescent probe (BF2-DBS) has been designed and synthesized by two-step reactions using 4-diethylaminosalicylaldehyde and 1,4-dimethylpyridinium iodide as raw materials. Probe BF2-DBS displays high selectivity and sensitivity to H2S with a large Stokes shift and good anti-interference ability. The practical application of probe BF2-DBS to detect endogenous H2S was evaluated in living HeLa cells.

Abstract
A cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach is proposed for producing N- and S-codoped multicolor-emission carbon dots (N- and S-codoped MCDs) at a mild reaction temperature (150 °C) and relatively short time (3 h). In this process, adenine sulfate acts as a novel precursor and doping agent, effectively reacting with other reagents such as citric acid, para-aminosalicylic acid, and ortho-phenylenediamine, even during solvent-free pyrolysis. The distinctive structures of reagents lead to the increased amount of graphitic nitrogen and sulfur doping in the N- and S-codoped MCDs. Notably, the obtained N- and S-codoped MCDs exhibit considerable fluorescence intensities, and their emission color can be adjusted from blue to yellow. The observed tunable photoluminescence can be attributed to variations in the surface state and the amount of N and S contents. Furthermore, due to the favorable optical properties, good water solubility and biocompatibility, and low cytotoxicity, these N- and S-codoped MCDs, especially green carbon dots, are successfully applied as fluorescent probes for bioimaging. The affordable and environmentally friendly synthesis method employed to create N- and S-codoped MCDs, combined with their remarkable optical properties, offers a promising avenue for their use in various fields, particularly in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Reliable biomarkers are crucial for early diagnosis of diseases and precise therapy. Biological thiols (represented by glutathione, GSH) play vital roles in the antioxidant defense system for maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis in organisms. However, the aberrant variation in the cellular concentration of GSH correlates with diverse diseases including cancer. Here, a ratiometric near-infrared fluorescent probe CyO-Disu is constructed for the specific sensing of GSH variation in live cells and mice models of hepatic carcinoma (HCC). CyO-Disu features three key elements, a response moiety of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, a near-infrared fluorescence signal transducer of heptamethine ketone cyanine, and a targeting moiety of D-galactose. By virtue of its liver-targeting capability, CyO-Disu was utilized for evaluating GSH fluctuations in primary and metastatic hepatoma living cells. To evaluate the efficacy of CyO-Disuin vivo, orthotopic HCC and pulmonary metastatic hepatoma mice models were employed for GSH imaging using two-dimensional and three-dimensional fluorescence molecular tomographic imaging systems. The bioimaging results offered direct evidence that GSH displayed varied concentrations during the progression of HCC. Therefore, the as-synthesized probe CyO-Disu could serve as a potential powerful tool for the early diagnosis and precise treatment of HCC using GSH as a reliable biomarker.

Abstract
NETosis, the peculiar type of neutrophil death, plays important roles in pro-tumorigenic functions and inhibits cancer immunotherapy. Non-invasive real-time imaging is thus imperative for prognosis of cancer immunotherapy yet remains challenging. Herein, we report a Tandem-locked NETosis Reporter 1 (TNR1 ) that activates fluorescence signals only in the presence of both neutrophil elastase (NE) and cathepsin G (CTSG) for the specific imaging of NETosis. In the aspect of molecular design, the sequence of biomarker-specific tandem peptide blocks can largely affect the detection specificity towards NETosis. In live cell imaging, the tandem-locked design allows TNR1 to differentiate NETosis from neutrophil activation, while single-locked reporters fail to do so. The near-infrared signals from activated TNR1 in tumor from living mice were consistent with the intratumoral NETosis levels from histological results. Moreover, the near-infrared signals from activated TNR1 negatively correlated with tumor inhibition effect after immunotherapy, thereby providing prognosis for cancer immunotherapy. Thus, our study not only demonstrates the first sensitive optical reporter for noninvasive monitoring of NETosis levels and evaluation of cancer immunotherapeutic efficacy in tumor-bearing living mice, but also proposes a generic approach for tandem-locked probe design.

Abstract
Metal agents have made incredible strides in preclinical research and clinical applications in recent years, but their short emission/absorption wavelengths continue to be a barrier to their distribution, therapeutic action, visual tracking, and efficacy evaluation. Nowadays, the near-infrared window (NIR, 650-1700 nm) provides a more accurate imaging and treatment option. Thus, there has been ongoing research focusing on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. The design, characteristics, bioimaging, and therapy of NIR metal agents are covered in this overview of papers and reports published to date. To start with, we focus on describing the structure, design strategies, and photophysical properties of metal agents from the NIR-I (650-1000 nm) to NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) region, in order of molecular metal complexes (MMCs), metal-organic complexes (MOCs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Next, the biomedical applications brought by these superior photophysical and chemical properties for more accurate imaging and therapy are discussed. Finally, we explore the challenges and prospects of each type of NIR metal agent for future biomedical research and clinical translation.

Abstract
Sensitivity and specificity are two indispensable requirements to ensure diagnostic accuracy. Dual-locked probes with "AND-gate" logic theory have emerged as a powerful tool to enhance imaging specificity, avoid "false positive" results, and realize correlation analysis. In addition, bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is an excitation-free optical modality with high sensitivity and low background and can thus be combined with a dual-locked strategy for precise disease imaging. Here, we developed a novel AND-gate bioluminescent probe, FK-Luc-BH, which is capable of responding to two different tumor biomarkers (cathepsin L and ClO-). The good specificity of FK-Luc-BH was proven, as an obvious BL signal could only be observed in the solution containing both cathepsin L (CTSL) and ClO-. 4T1-fLuc cells and tumors treated with FK-Luc-BH exhibited significantly higher BL signals than those treated with unresponsive control compound Ac-Luc-EA or cotreated with FK-Luc-BH and a ClO- scavenger/cathepsin inhibitor, demonstrating the ability of FK-Luc-BH to precisely recognize tumors in which CTSL and ClO- coexist.

Abstract
The aberrantly changed level of homocysteine (Hcy) triggers a variety of pathological symptoms and subsequently Hcy-related diseases. Direct and selective visualization of Hcy in biological systems is pivotal to understanding the pathological functions of Hcy at the molecular level. Herein, a general strategy was developed for the specific fluorescence imaging of Hcy through the combination of dual-binding sites and the introduction of a nitro group at the 6-position of the 7-diethylaminocoumarin fluorophore. Also, a series of novel fluorescent probes were exploited for monitoring Hcy with excellent selectivity, high sensitivity, and far-red/near-infrared fluorescence emission. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging of endogenous Hcy dynamics in living cells and in vivo was achieved, providing direct and solid evidence for the increasement of endogenous Hcy in type 2 diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease. This research will greatly advance the development and understanding of the molecular nexus between the Hcy metabolism cascade and the root causes of diseases related to Hcy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress denotes the imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses in living organisms, participating in various pathophysiological processes and mediating the occurrence of diseases. Typically, the excessive production of ROS under oxidative stress elicits oxidative modification of biomacromolecules, including lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, leading to cell dysfunction and damage. Therefore, the analysis and detection of oxidative stress-associated biomarkers are of considerable importance to accurately reflect and evaluate the oxidative stress status. This review comprehensively elucidates the recent advances and applications of imaging probes for tracking and detecting oxidative stress-related biomarkers such as lipid peroxidation, and protein and DNA oxidation. The existing challenges and future development directions in this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Sulfatase is an important biomarker closely associated with various diseases. However, the state-of-the-art sulfatase probes are plagued with a short absorption/emission wavelength and limited sensitivity. Developing highly sensitive fluorescent probes for in vivo imaging of sulfatase remains a grand challenge. Herein, for the first time, an activatable near-infrared fluorescence/photoacoustic (NIRF/PA) dual-modal probe (Hcy-SA) for visualizing sulfatase activity in living cells and animals is developed. Hcy-SA is composed of a sulfate ester moiety as the recognition unit and a NIR fluorophore hemicyanine (Hcy-OH) as the NIRF/PA reporter. The designed probe exhibits a rapid response, excellent sensitivity, and high specificity for sulfatase detection in vitro. More importantly, cells and in vivo experiments confirm that Hcy-SA can be successfully applied for PA/NIRF dual-modal imaging of sulfatase activity in living sulfatase-overexpressed tumor cells and tumor-bearing animals. This probe can serve as a promising tool for sulfatase-related pathological research and cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Identifying nitroreductase (NTR) with fluorescent techniques has become a research hotspot, due to its good sensitivity and selectivity toward the early-stage cancer diagnosis and monitoring. Herein, a host-guest reporter (NAQA⊂Zn-MPPB) is successfully achieved by encapsulating the NTR probe NAQA into a new NADH-functioned metal-organic cage Zn-MPPB, which makes the reporter for ultrafast detection of NTR within dozens of seconds in solution. The host-guest strategy fuses the Zn-MPPB and NAQA to form a pseudomolecule material, which changes the reaction process of NTR and NAQA from a double substrates mechanism to a single substrate one, and accelerates the reduction efficiency of NAQA. This advantage make the new host-guest reporter exhibit a linear relationship between emission changes and NTR concentration, and it shows better sensitively toward NTR than that of NAQA. Additionally, the positively charged water-soluble metal-organic cage can encapsulate NAQA in the cavity, promote it to dissolve in an aqueous environment, and facilitate their accumulation into tumor cells. As expected, such host-guest reporter displays a fast and high efficiently imaging capability toward NTR in tumor cells and tumor-bearing mice, and flow cytometry assay is conducted to corroborate the capability as well, implying the considerably potential of host-guest strategy for early tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The research of delayed fluorescence (DF) has been a hot topic in biological imaging. However, the development of analyte-triggered small molecule DF probes remains a considerable challenge. Herein a novel excited-state intramolecular proton transfer-delayed fluorescence (ESIPT-DF) approach to construct analyte-stimulated DF probes was reported. These new classes of ESIPT-DF luminophores were strategically designed and synthesized by incorporating 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), a known ESIPT-based fluorophore, as acceptor with a series of classic donor moieties, which formed a correspondingly twisted donor-acceptor pair within each molecule. Thereinto, HBT-PXZ and HBT-PTZ exhibited significant ESIPT and DF characters with lifetimes of 5.37 and 3.65 μs in the solid state, respectively. Furthermore, a caged probe HBT-PXZ-Ga was developed by introducing a hydrophilic d-galactose group as the recognition unit specific for β-galactosidase (β-gal) and ESIPT-DF blocking agent and applied to investigate the influence of metal ions on β-gal activity on the surface of Streptococcus pneumoniae as a convenient tool. This ESIPT-DF "turn-on" approach is easily adaptable for the measurement of many different analytes using only a predictable modification on the caged group without modification of the core structure.

Abstract
DDAO (1,3-Dichloro-7-hydroxy-9,9-dimethyl-2(9H)-acridone) is a near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore that has received increasing attention in recent years, exhibiting near-infrared emission at 658 nm, low pKa (∼5.0), good water solubility and high quantum yield (Φ = 0.39). The reported DDAO-based fluorescent probes can be applied to biological imaging ofenzymes and other substances in vivo with high sensitivity and selectivity. Herein, using -OCN as the detection group, a novel NIR H2S fluorescent probe DDAO-CN based on DDAO was designed and synthesized. In PBS buffer (10 mM, pH 7.4), probe DDAO-CN displayed specific selection, short response time (within 10 s) and low detection limit (4.3 nM) towards to H2S under the catalysis of CTAB. At the same time, the probe is able to sense H2S gas produced by food spoilage via the fluorescent test strip loaded with DDAO-CN. Moreover, since the probe has optimal pH range (6.0-9.0), it has been successfully used for bioimaging H2S in the HeLa cells with low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum, a cellular signaling regulator, participates in the synthesis and secretion of many proteins, glycogen, lipids and cholesterol substances. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a highly oxidative and nucleophilic agent. Abnormal fluctuations of ONOO- induce oxidative stress in the endoplasmic reticulum, further disrupting the normal function of protein folding and transport and glycosylation modification, ultimately leading to neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Up to now, most probes have tended to achieve targeting functions by introducing specific targeting groups. However, this approach increased the difficulty of the construction process. Therefore, a simple and efficient construction strategy for fluorescent probes with excellent specificity targeting the endoplasmic reticulum is lacking. To overcome this difficulty and put forward an efficient design strategy for the endoplasmic reticulum targeted probes, in this paper, we constructed alternating rigid and flexible polysiloxane-based hyperbranched polymeric probes (Si-Er-ONOO) by bonding perylenetetracarboxylic anhydride and silicon-based dendrimers for the first time. Efficient and specific targeting of the endoplasmic reticulum was successfully achieved by the excellent lipid solubility of Si-Er-ONOO. Furthermore, we observed different effects of metformin and rotenone on the changes of ONOO- volatility in the cellular and zebrafish internal environment by Si-Er-ONOO. We believe that Si-Er-ONOO will expand the application of organosilicon hyperbranched polymeric materials in bioimaging and provide an excellent indicator of reactive oxygen species fluctuations in biological systems.

Abstract
Fibrillar aggregates of the amyloid-β protein (Aβ) are the main component of the senile plaques found in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Development of probes allowing the noninvasive and high-fidelity mapping of Aβ plaques in vivo is critical for AD early detection, drug screening and biomedical research. QM-FN-SO3 (quinoline-malononitrile-thiophene-(dimethylamino)phenylsulfonate) is a near-infrared aggregation-induced-emission-active fluorescent probe capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and ultrasensitively lighting up Aβ plaques in living mice. Herein, we describe detailed procedures for the two-stage synthesis of QM-FN-SO3 and its applications for mapping Aβ plaques in brain tissues and living mice. Compared with commercial thioflavin (Th) derivatives ThT and ThS (the gold standard for detection of Aβ aggregates) and other reported Aβ plaque fluorescent probes, QM-FN-SO3 confers several advantages, such as long emission wavelength, large Stokes shift, ultrahigh sensitivity, good BBB penetrability and miscibility in aqueous biological media. The preparation of QM-FN-SO3 takes ~2 d, and the confocal imaging experiments for Aβ plaque visualization, including the preparation for mouse brain sections, take ~7 d. Notably, acquisition and analyses for in vivo visualization of Aβ plaques in mice can be completed within 1 h and require only a basic knowledge of spectroscopy and chemistry.

Abstract
Shape-memory photonic crystals (SMPCs) transform the nanoscale deformation of copolymers into structural color through an undifferentiated response to stimuli; however, activatable selective responses are extremely rare. Herein, activatable dual confined shape-memory effects (CSMEs) derived from the remodeling of the interchain hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) in cold-programmable SMPCs are revealed. The first level is the water-triggered reconstruction of interchain H-bonds, which can activate/lock the collapsed skeleton, showing shape recovery/retention in response to ethanol vapor. The second level is the pressure-induced reorganization of interchain H-bonds that results in the recovered skeleton being locked even when exposed to ethanol vapor or water, while the background porous structure can switch between collapse and recovery. Dual CSMEs result from the Laplace pressure difference and the binding effect of interchain H-bonds in the skeleton according to insights of swelling, in situ deformation tracking, multidimensional infrared spectra, and water wetting/evaporation simulations. The signal interference, source code extraction, and color enhancement of structurally colored patterns can be implemented using CSMEs. This work opens up a new method for fabricating activatable responsive structural color and contributes to the expansion of nanophotonic technology in water printing, erasable watermarks, signal amplifiers, and information coding.

Abstract
Noninvasively imaging mercury poisoning in living organisms is critical to understanding its toxicity and treatments. Especially, simultaneous fluorescence imaging of Hg2+ and MeHg+in vivo is helpful to disclose the mysteries of mercury poisoning. The key limitation for mercury imaging in vivo is the low imaging signal-to-background ratio (SBR) and limited imaging depth, which may result in unreliable detection results. Here, we designed and prepared a near-infrared II (NIR II) emissive probe, NIR-Rh-MS, leveraging the "spirolactam ring-open" tactic of xanthene dyes for in situ visualization of mercury toxicity in mice. The probe produces a marked fluorescence signal at 1015 nm and displays good linear responses to Hg2+ and MeHg+ with excellent sensitivity, respectively. The penetration experiments elucidate that the activated NIR-II fluorescence signal of the probe penetrates to a depth of up to 7 mm in simulated tissues. Impressively, the probe can monitor the toxicity of Hg2+ in mouse livers and the accumulation of MeHg+ in mouse brains via intravital NIR-II imaging for the first time. Thus, we believe that detecting Hg2+ and MeHg+ in different organs with a single NIR-II fluorescence probe in mice would assuredly advance the toxicologic study of mercury poisoning in vivo.

Abstract
Carboxylesterases (CEs) play important physiological roles in the human body and are involved in numerous cellular processes. Monitoring CEs activity has great potential for the rapid diagnosis of malignant tumors and multiple diseases. Herein, we developed a new phenazine-based "turn-on" fluorescent probe DBPpys by introducing 4-bromomethyl-phenyl acetate to DBPpy, which can selectively detect CEs with a low detection limit (9.38 × 10-5 U/mL) and a large Stokes shift (more than 250 nm) in vitro. In addition, DBPpys can also be converted into DBPpy by carboxylesterase in HeLa cells and localized in lipid droplets (LDs), emitting bright near-infrared fluorescence under the irradiation of white light. Moreover, we achieved the detection of cell health status by measuring the intensity of NIR fluorescence after co-incubation of DBPpys with H2O2-pretreated HeLa cells, indicating that DBPpys has great potential applications for assessing CEs activity and cellular health.

Abstract
Fast and selective fluorescence imaging for a biomarker to related-disease diagnosis remains a significant challenge due to complex physical environment. Human carboxylesterase (CE) is expected to be a potential biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. However, existing probes for CE has slow response rate and low selectivity. Herein, the amide group is selected as CE-responsive sites based on the "substrate-hydrolysis enzymatic reaction" approach. From a series of off-on probes with leave groups in the amide unit, probe JFast is screened with the optimal combination of rapid response rate and high selectivity toward CE. JFast requires only 150 s to reach the maximum fluorescence at 676 nm in the presence of CE and free from the interference of other esterase. Computational docking simulations indicate the shortest distance between the CE and active site of JFast . Cell and in vivo imaging present that the probe can turn on the liver cancer cells and tumor region precisely. Importantly, JFast is allowed to specifically image orthotopic liver tumor rather than metastatic tumor and distinguish human primary liver cancer tissue from adjacent ones. This study provides a new tool for CE detection and promotes advancements in accurate HCC diagnosis.

Abstract
As an alkaloid, quinazolinone exhibits excellent biological properties; structurally, it also has the potential to construct fluorescent probes with conjugated structures. In this work, probes 5a-c and 6b were obtained by introducing quinazolone into aldehydes with different numbers of double bonds. Their absorption maxima were located at 420-540 nm and their emission maxima were at 500-600 nm in solvents of different polarities. In particular, probe 5c showed significant fluorescence enhancement with the increase in viscosity due to the limited intramolecular rotation, and its fluorescence intensity in glycerol was 37.8 times higher than that in water. Moreover, probes 5a-c and 6b containing the NH structure showed sensitive response to pH, and their fluorescence intensity in alkaline solution (pH 9-11) was suddenly enhanced, which was elucidated with the help of theoretical calculation. In addition, the cell experiments showed that probes 5a and 5b had the ability to target mitochondria and probes 5c and 6b targeted lysosomes in HeLa cells. Furthermore, the viscosity-sensitive probe 5c could be used for monitoring changes in lysosomal viscosity in HeLa cells, which had important guiding significance for designing multi-response fluorogenic probes and promoting the advancement of cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Specific imaging of cellular senescence emerges as a promising strategy for early diagnosis and treatment of various age-related diseases. The currently available imaging probes are routinely designed by targeting a single senescence-related marker. However, the inherently high heterogeneity of senescence makes them inaccessible to achieve specific and accurate detection of broad-spectrum cellular senescence. Here, we report the design of a dual-parameter recognition fluorescent probe for precise imaging of cellular senescence. This probe remains silent in non-senescent cells, yet produces bright fluorescence after sequential responses to two senescence-associated markers, namely, SA-β-gal and MAO-A. In-depth studies reveal that this probe allows for high-contrast imaging of senescence, independent of the cell source or stress type. More impressively, such dual-parameter recognition design further allows it to distinguish senescence-associated SA-β-gal/MAO-A from cancer-related β-gal/MAO-A, compared to commercial or previous single-marker detection probes. This study offers a valuable molecular tool for imaging cellular senescence, which is expected to significantly expand the basic studies on senescence and facilitate advances of senescence-related disease theranostics.

Abstract
Aberrant mitochondrial viscosity is closely associated with many diseases and cellular malfunctions. Thus, the development of reliable methods for monitoring mitochondrial viscosity variations has attracted considerable attention. Herein, through stepwise structural modulation of the dihydroxanthene fluorophore (DHX), we developed three NIR fluorescent probes, named DHX-V-1-3, for detecting mitochondrial viscosity. Among them, DHX-V-3 displayed the highest signal-to-noise ratio (67-fold) for viscosity with outstanding selectivity and showed excellent mitochondria targeting and immobilization ability. At the cellular level, the DHX-V-3 probe was successfully applied to image the mitochondrial viscosity in live cells upon treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or nystatin. Moreover, benefiting from its NIR emission and the increased depth of tissue imaging, DHX-V-3 demonstrated the ability to visualize the increased viscosity in LPS-treated mice.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminescence imaging holds potential for sensitive imaging of cancer due to its low background; however, few NIR chemiluminophores are available, which share the drawback of low chemiluminescence quantum yields (ΦCL ). Herein, we report the synthesis of NIR chemiluminophores for cancer imaging and laparotomy. Molecular engineering of the electron-withdrawing group at the para-position of the phenol-dioxetane leads to a highly bright NIR chemiluminophore (DPT), showing the ΦCL (4.6×10-2 Einstein mol-1 ) that is 3 to 5-fold higher than existing NIR chemiluminophores. By caging the phenol group of DPT with a cathepsin B (CatB) responsive moiety, an activatable chemiluminescence probe (DPTCB ) is developed for real-time turn-on detection of deeply buried tumor tissues in living mice. Due to its high brightness, DPTCB permits accurate chemiluminescence-guided laparotomy.

Abstract
Despite the progress on the analysis of proteins either in vitro or in vivo, detection and imaging of low-abundance proteins in living cells still remains challenging. Herein, a novel biodegradable and cofactor self-sufficient DNAzyme nanoprobe has been deve-loped for catalytic imaging of protein in living cells with signal amplification capacity. This DNAzyme nanoprobe is constructed by assembling a DNAzyme subunit-containing aptamer hairpin (HP), another DNAzyme subunit strand (DS), and the molecular beacon (MB) substrate strand onto pH-sensitive ZnO@polydopamine nanorods (ZnO@PDA NRs) that work as DNAzyme cofactor suppliers. Such a nanoprobe can facilitate cellular uptake of DNA molecules and protection of them from nuclease degradation as well as release of them in cells by lysosomal acid-triggered dissolution of ZnO@PDA NRs into Zn2+ as DNAzyme cofactor. Upon recognition and binding with the intracellular protein target, the stem of HP is opened, after which the opened HP hybridizes with DS and generates activated DNAzymes. Each activated DNAzyme can catalyze the cleavage of many MB substrates through true enzymatic multiple turnovers, resulting in the separation of the quenched fluorophore/quencher pair labeled in MB and the generation of significantly amplified fluorescence. Using nucleolin (NCL) as a model protein, this nanoprobe enables the analysis of NCL with a detection limit of 1.8 pM, which are at least two orders of magnitude lower than that of non-catalytic imaging probe. Moreover, it could accurately distinguish tumor cells and normal cells by live cell NCL imaging. And the experimental results are also further verified by flow cytometry assays. The developed nanoprobe can be easily extended to detect other biomolecules by the change of their corresponding aptamer sequences, thus providing a promising tool for highly sensitive imaging of low-abundance biomolecules in living cells.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can easily occur when patients mishandle wounds or eat moldy food. The prompt diagnosis of a bacterial infection could effectively reduce the risk of possible anatomical damage. However, non-invasive early detection of bacterial infections is difficult to achieve due to the lack of favorable tools. Here, we designed two hNQO1 fluorescent probes (RX2 and RX3) to visualize bacterial infection after deep learning on the pathogenesis of bacterial infection. RX2 and RX3 enable early detection of bacterial infection and are verified to be, respectively, suitable for fluorescence imaging (FLI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) by comparing the signal-to-background ratio of both probes in a mouse model of myositis caused by Escherichia coli infection. In view of the difference in penetration depth between the two imaging modalities, we further applied RX2 for FLI of E. coli-infected wounds and RX3 for PAI of E. coli-infected inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting the great potential of both probes for early diagnosis of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Monitoring the physiological changes of organelles is essential for understanding the local biological information of cells and for improving the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Currently, fluorescent probes are considered as the most powerful tools for imaging and have been widely applied in biomedical fields. However, the expected targeting effects of these probes are often inconsistent with the real experiments. The design of fluorescent probes mainly depends on the empirical knowledge of researchers, which was inhibited by limited chemical space and low efficiency. Herein, we proposed a novel multilevel framework for the prediction of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes by employing advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. In this way, not only the targeting mechanism could be interpreted beyond intuitions but also a quick evaluation method could be established for the rational design. Furthermore, the targeting and imaging powers of the optimized and synthesized probes based on this methodology were verified by quantitative calculation and experiments.

Abstract
Multiplexed profiling of microRNAs' subcellular expression and distribution is essential to understand their spatiotemporal function information, but it remains a crucial challenge. Herein, we report an encoding approach that leverages combinational fluorescent dye barcodes, organelle targeting elements, and an independent quantification signal, termed Multiplexed Organelles Portrait Barcodes (MOPB), for high-throughput profiling of miRNAs from organelles. The MOPB barcodes consist of heterochromatic fluorescent dye-loaded shell-core mesoporous silica nanoparticles modified with organelle targeting peptides and molecular beacon detection probes. Using mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum as models, we encoded four Cy3/AMCA ER-MOPB and four Cy5/AMCA Mito-MOPB by varying the Cy3 and Cy5 intensity for distinguishing eight organelles' miRNAs. Significantly, the MOPB strategy successfully and accurately profiled eight subcellular organelle miRNAs' alterations in the drug-induced Ca2+ homeostasis breakdown. The approach should allow more widespread application of subcellular miRNAs and multiplexed subcellular protein biomarkers' monitoring for drug discovery, cellular metabolism, signaling transduction, and gene expression regulation readout.

Abstract
Reversibly controlling the dye arrangements in living systems has great potential to realize spatiotemporally controlled photomedicine. However, tuning or even maintaining a certain arrangement of dyes in a complex living environments is extremely challenging due to the interference of the various biological species. Herein, a conceptual supramolecular strategy to engineer a switchable photosensitizer (PS) via mitochondria-mediated dynamic interconversion between monomer and J-aggregation, enabling specific activation of the mitochondria-targeting photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hibernation after mitochondria damage is presented. The presented mitochondria-mediated "activate-then-hibernate" PS design enables a fascinating spatiotemporally controlled PDT in which spatially controlled mitochondrial-targeting enhances therapeutic efficacy and temporally controlled activation-then-hibernation averts off-target damage during PDT and tissue damage after clinical treatment, thus offering significant potential for biological research and clinical needs.

Abstract
Turn-on fluorescence probes can visualize the enzyme activity with high contrast. We have established a new turn-on mechanism, activator-induced nucleophilic quencher detachment (AiQd), and developed AiQd-based turn-on fluorescence probes for the detection of enzymes. Herein, we demonstrate that the precise steric control efficiently quenches the fluorescence of AiQd-based turn-on probes before the enzymatic transformation. Theoretical calculation appropriately predicted the ratio of the fluorescence-quenched closed-ring form of probes. βC5S-A, which has a sterically demanding methyl group at the β-position of a fluorescence-quenching nucleophilic mercapto group, showed a low background signal. βC5S-A responded to aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) with high selectivity, thereby enabling high-contrast live imaging of cancer stem cells (signal-to-noise ratio >10). The ALDH1A1-responsiveness of βC5S-A was not significantly affected by amino acids and biological thiols, such as cysteine and glutathione.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is mostly attributed to an outbreak of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which makes leukocytes infiltrate into the lung and results in lung hypoxia. Nitroreductase (NTR) is significantly upregulated under hypoxia, which is commonly regarded as a potential biomarker for assessing sepsis-induced acute lung hypoxia. Increasing evidence shows that NTR in the Golgi apparatus could be induced in sepsis-induced ALI. Meanwhile, the prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitor (dimethyloxalylglycine, DMOG) attenuated sepsis-induced ALI through further increasing the level of Golgi NTR by improving hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activity, but as yet, no Golgi-targetable probe has been developed for monitoring and assessing treatment response of sepsis-induced ALI. Herein, we report a Golgi-targetable probe, Gol-NTR, for monitoring and assessing treatment response of sepsis-induced ALI through mapping the generation of NTR. The probe displayed high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 54.8 ng/mL and good selectivity to NTR. In addition, due to the excellent characteristics of Golgi-targetable, Gol-NTR was successfully applied in mapping the change of Golgi NTR in cells and zebrafish caused by various stimuli. Most importantly, the production of Golgi NTR in the sepsis-induced ALI and the PHD inhibitor (DMOG) against sepsis-induced ALI were visualized and precisely assessed for the first time with the assistance of Gol-NTR. The results demonstrated the practicability of Gol-NTR for the precise monitoring and assessing of the personalized treatment response of sepsis-induced ALI.

Abstract
The exploration of advanced probes for cancer diagnosis and treatment is of high importance in fundamental research and clinical practice. In comparison with the traditional "always-on" probes, the emerging activatable probes enjoy advantages in promoted accuracy for tumor theranostics by specifically releasing or activating fluorophores at the targeting sites. The main designing principle for these probes is to incorporate responsive groups that can specifically react with the biomarkers (e. g., enzymes) involved in tumorigenesis and progression, realizing the controlled activation in tumors. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the molecular design and biomedical application of enzyme-responsive organic fluorescent probes. Particularly, the fluorophores can be endowed with ability of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) to afford the photosensitizers, highlighting the potential of these probes in simultaneous tumor imaging and therapy with rational design. We hope that this review could inspire more research interests in the development of tumor-targeting theranostic probes for advanced biological studies.

Abstract
Overexpressing human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (hNQO1) in lung cancer tissues is deemed to be an attractive biomarker, which is directly connected to cancerous pathological processes. Monitoring of hNQO1 activity is crucial to early diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer. In this study, an activatable hemi-cyanine dye-based probe (denoted as the LET-10 probe) was synthesized for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and ratiometric photoacoustic (RPA) imaging of hNQO1. LET-10 can realize the NIRF and PA signal opening in the presence of hNQO1. Taking the octabutoxy naphthalocyanine in the LET-10 probe as a built-in reference signal, the LET-10 probe further demonstrated a double-signal self-calibration process for RPA imaging. Finally, the LET-10 probe was successfully applied for NIRF/RPA duplex imaging in the hNQO1-positive A549 lung cancer model, which suggests that the LET-10 probe is a promising tool for in vivo hNQO1 detection, especially for lung cancer diagnosis.

Membrane dual-targeting probes: A promising strategy for fluorescence-guided prostate cancer surgery and lymph node metastases detection. Acta Pharm Sin B 2022; 13:1204-1215.

Abstract
Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) with tumor-targeted imaging agents, particularly those using the near-infrared wavelength, has emerged as a real-time technique to highlight the tumor location and margins during a surgical procedure. For accurate visualization of prostate cancer (PCa) boundary and lymphatic metastasis, we developed a new approach involving an efficient self-quenched near-infrared fluorescence probe, Cy-KUE-OA, with dual PCa-membrane affinity. Cy-KUE-OA specifically targeted the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), anchored into the phospholipids of the cell membrane of PCa cells and consequently showed a strong Cy7-de-quenching effect. This dual-membrane-targeting probe allowed us to detect PSMA-expressing PCa cells both in vitro and in vivo and enabled clear visualization of the tumor boundary during fluorescence-guided laparoscopic surgery in PCa mouse models. Furthermore, the high PCa preference of Cy-KUE-OA was confirmed on surgically resected patient specimens of healthy tissues, PCa, and lymph node metastases. Taken together, our results serve as a bridge between preclinical and clinical research in FGS of PCa and lay a solid foundation for further clinical research.
