[PMID: 38923040 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202402019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) tomography is an emerging biomedical imaging technology for precision cancer medicine. Conventional small-molecule PA probes usually exhibit a single PA signal and poor tumor targeting that lack the imaging reliability. Here, we introduce a series of cyanine/hemicyanine interconversion dyes (denoted Cy-HCy) for PA/fluorescent dual-mode probe development that features optimized ratiometric PA imaging and tunable tumor-targeting ability for precise diagnosis and resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). Importantly, Cy-HCy can be presented in cyanine (inherent tumor targeting and long NIR PA wavelength) and hemicyanine (poor tumor targeting and short NIR PA wavelength) by fine-tuning torsion angle and the ingenious transformation between cyanine and hemicyanine through regulation optically tunable group endows the NIR ratiometric PA and tunable tumor-targeting properties. To demonstrate the applicability of Cy-HCy dyes, we designed the first small-molecule tumor-targeting and NIR ratiometric PA probe Cy-HCy-H2S for precise CRC liver metastasis diagnosis, activated by H2S (a CRC biomarker). Using this probe, we not only visualized the subcutaneous tumor and liver metastatic cancers in CRC mouse models but also realized PA and fluorescence image-guided tumor excision. We expect that Cy-HCy will be generalized for creating a wide variety of inherently tumor-targeting NIR ratiometric PA probes in oncological research and practice.

Abstract
Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT), an emerging imaging modality in preclinical cancer research, can provide multiparametric 3D information about structures, physiological functions, and pharmacokinetics. Here, we demonstrate the use of high-definition 3D multiparametric PACT imaging of both primary and metastatic tumors in living mice to noninvasively monitor angiogenesis, carcinogenesis, hypoxia, and pharmacokinetics. The high-definition PACT system with a 1024-element hemispherical ultrasound transducer array provides an isotropic spatial resolution of 380 μm, an effective volumetric field-of-view of 12.8 mm × 12.8 mm × 12.8 mm without scanning, and an acquisition time of <30 s for a whole mouse body. Initially, we monitor the structural progression of the tumor microenvironment (e.g., angiogenesis and vessel tortuosity) after tumor cell inoculation. Then, we analyze the change in oxygen saturation of the tumor during carcinogenesis, verifying induced hypoxia in the tumor's core region. Finally, the whole-body pharmacokinetics are photoacoustically imaged after intravenous injection of micelle-loaded IR780 dye, and the in vivo PACT results are validated in vivo and ex vivo by fluorescence imaging. By employing the premium PACT system and applying multiparametric analyses to subcutaneous primary tumors and metastatic liver tumors, we demonstrate that this PACT system can provide multiparametric analyses for comprehensive cancer research.

Abstract
Metastasis causes greater than 90% of cancer-associated deaths, presenting huge challenges for detection and efficient treatment of cancer due to its high heterogeneity and widespread dissemination to various organs. Therefore, it is imperative to combat cancer metastasis, which is the key to achieving complete cancer eradication. Immunotherapy as a systemic approach has shown promising potential to combat metastasis. However, current clinical immunotherapies are not effective for all patients or all types of cancer metastases owing to insufficient immune responses. In recent years, immunological nanomaterials with intrinsic immunogenicity or immunomodulatory agents with efficient loading have been shown to enhance immune responses to eliminate metastasis. In this review, we would like to summarize various types of immunological nanomaterials against metastasis. Moreover, this review will summarize a series of immunological nanomaterial-mediated immunotherapy strategies to combat metastasis, including immunogenic cell death, regulation of chemokines and cytokines, improving the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, activation of the STING pathway, enhancing cytotoxic natural killer cell activity, enhancing antigen presentation of dendritic cells, and enhancing chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy. Furthermore, the synergistic anti-metastasis strategies based on the combinational use of immunotherapy and other therapeutic modalities will also be introduced. In addition, the nanomaterial-mediated imaging techniques (e.g., optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, photoacoustic imaging, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, radionuclide imaging, etc.) for detecting metastasis and monitoring anti-metastasis efficacy are also summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects of immunological nanomaterial-based anti-metastasis are also elucidated with the intention to accelerate its clinical translation.

Abstract
Recently, many organic optoelectronic materials (OOMs), especially those used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells (OSCs), and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), are explored for biomedical applications including imaging and photoexcited therapies. In this review, recently developed OOMs for fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, photothermal therapy, and photodynamic therapy, are summarized. Relationships between their molecular structures, nanoaggregation structures, photophysical mechanisms, and properties for various biomedical applications are discussed. Mainly four kinds of OOMs are covered: thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials in OLEDs, conjugated small molecules and polymers in OSCs, and charge-transfer complexes in OFETs. Based on the OOMs unique optical properties, including excitation light wavelength and exciton dynamics, they are respectively exploited for suitable biomedical applications. This review is intended to serve as a bridge between researchers in the area of organic optoelectronic devices and those in the area of biomedical applications. Moreover, it provides guidance for selecting or modifying OOMs for high-performance biomedical uses. Current challenges and future perspectives of OOMs are also discussed with the hope of inspiring further development of OOMs for efficient biomedical applications.

Abstract
Optoacoustic imaging has grown in clinical relevance due to inherent advantages in sensitivity, resolution, and imaging depth, but the development of contrast agents is lacking. This study assesses the influence of structural features of squaraine dyes on optoacoustic activity through computational models, in vitro testing, and in vivo experimentation. The squaraine scaffold was decorated with halogens and side-chain extensions. Extension of side chains and heavy halogenation of squaraines both increased optoacoustic signals individually, although they had a more significant effect in tandem. Density functional theory models suggest that the origin of the increased optoacoustic signal is the increase in transition dipole moment and vibrational entropy, which manifested as increased absorbance in near-infrared region (NIR) wavelengths and decreased fluorescence quantum yield. This study provides insight into the structure-function relationships that will lead guiding principles for optimizing optoacoustic contrast agents. Further developments of squaraines and other agents will further increase the relevance of optoacoustic imaging in a clinical setting.

Abstract
The development of intelligent nanodrug delivery systems that can visually guide the on-demand quantitative control of drug release has received extensive attention. Herein, two chemotherapeutic drugs, gallic acid and 5-fluorouracil, and Fe(III) were selected to prepare nanomedicine GF-Fe via polyphenol-metal self-assembly and infinite coordination of drug-metal. GF-Fe has good biocompatibility, photothermal properties and photoacoustic (PA) signals. When deferoxamine (DFO) was artificially applied and interacted with GF-Fe, GF-Fe began to disassemble, gallic acid and 5-fluorouracil were gradually released, while the PA signal of the nanomedicine decayed synchronously. Based on this, the relationship between the intensity of the PA signal and the drug release amount was established, so as to realize the precise quantitative control of the drug release in real-time under the guidance of PA imaging. Besides, the combined effect of the two therapeutic drugs in combination with photothermal therapy (PTT) can improve the therapeutic effect, resulting in significant superadditiveness. This nanoplatform constructed by facile synthesis provided good clinical translation potential for the implementation of precise multimodal combination therapy strategies for tumors.

Abstract
Owing to societal development and aging population, the impact of cancer on human health and quality of life has increased. Early detection and surgical treatment are the most effective approaches for most cancer patients. As the scope of conventional tumor resection is determined by auxiliary examination and surgeon experience, there is often insufficient recognition of tiny tumors. The ability to detect such tumors can be improved by using fluorescent tumor-specific probes for surgical navigation. This review mainly describes the design principles and mechanisms of activatable probes for the fluorescence imaging of tumors. This type of probe is nonfluorescent in normal tissue but exhibits obvious fluorescence emission upon encountering tumor-specific substrates, such as enzymes or bioactive molecules, or changes in the microenvironment, such as a low pH. In some cases, a single-factor response does not guarantee the effective fluorescence labeling of tumors. Therefore, two-factor-activatable fluorescence imaging probes that react with two specific factors in tumor cells have also been developed. Compared with single biomarker testing, the simultaneous monitoring of multiple biomarkers may provide additional insight into the role of these substances in cancer development and aid in improving the accuracy of early cancer diagnosis. Research and progress in this field can provide new methods for precision medicine and targeted therapy. The development of new approaches for early diagnosis and treatment can effectively improve the prognosis of cancer patients and help enhance their quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effect of monotherapy in cancer is frequently influenced by the tumor's unique hypoxic microenvironment, insufficient drug concentration at the treatment site, and tumour cells' increased drug tolerance. In this work, we expect to design a novel therapeutic nanoprobe with the ability to solve these problems and improve the efficacy of antitumor therapy. METHODS We have prepared a hollow manganese dioxide nanoprobes loaded with photosensitive drug IR780 for the photothermal/photodynamic/chemodynamic co-therapy of liver cancer. RESULTS The nanoprobe demonstrates efficient thermal transformation ability under a single laser irradiation, and under the synergistic influence of photo heat, accelerates the Fenton/ Fenton-like reaction efficiency based on Mn2+ ions to produce more ·OH under the synergistic effect of photo heat. Moreover, the oxygen released under the degradation of manganese dioxide further promotes the ability of photosensitive drugs to produce singlet oxygen (ROS). The nanoprobe has been found to efficiently destroy tumour cells in vivo and in vitro experiments when used in combination with photothermal/photodynamic/ chemodynamic modes of treatment under laser irradiation. CONCLUSION In all, this research shows that a therapeutic strategy based on this nanoprobe could be a viable alternative for cancer treatment in the near future.

Abstract
In vivo fluorescence imaging has received extensive attention due to its distinguished advantages of excellent biosafety, high sensitivity, dual temporal-spatial resolution, real-time monitoring ability, and non-invasiveness. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) with near-infrared (NIR) absorption and emission wavelengths are ideal candidate for in vivo fluorescence imaging for their large Stokes shift, high brightness and superior photostability. NIR emissive AIEgens provide deep tissue penetration depth as well as low interference from tissue autofluorescence. Here in this review, we summarize the molecular engineering strategies for constructing NIR AIEgens with high performances, including extending π-conjugation system and strengthen donor (D)-acceptor (A) interactions. Then the encapsulation strategies for increasing water solubility and biocompatibility of these NIR AIEgens are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and prospect of fabricating NIR AIEgens for in vivo fluorescence imaging are also discussed. We hope this review would provide some guidelines for further exploration of new NIR AIEgens.

Abstract
Unravelling the pathophysiology of depression is a unique challenge. Depression is closely associated with reduced norepinephrine (NE) levels; therefore, developing bioimaging probes to visualize NE levels in the brain is a key to elucidating the pathophysiological process of depression. However, because NE is similar in structure and chemical properties to two other catecholamine neurotransmitters, epinephrine and dopamine, designing an NE-specific multimodal bioimaging probe is a difficult task. In this work, we designed and synthesized the first near-infrared fluorescent-photoacoustic (PA) dual-modality imaging probe for NE (FPNE). The β-hydroxyethylamine of NE was shown to react via nucleophilic substitution and intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization, resulting in the cleavage of a carbonic ester bond in the probe molecule and release of a merocyanine molecule (IR-720). This process changed the color of the reaction solution from blue-purple to green, and the absorption peak was red-shifted from 585 to 720 nm. Under light excitation at 720 nm, linear relationships between the concentration of NE and both the PA response and the fluorescence signal intensity were observed. Thus, the use of intracerebral in situ visualization for diagnosis of depression and monitoring of drug interventions was achieved in a mouse model by fluorescence and PA imaging of brain regions after administration of FPNE by tail-vein injection.

Abstract
Promoting the aggregation of nanoprobes at tumor sites and realizing precise imaging and treatment of tumors is still one of the important problems to be solved in the field of nanomedicine. Poly-2-phenylbenzobisthiazole (PB) is a novel conjugated polymer with good biocompatibility, excellent photothermal properties in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II), but poor water dispersibility. Herein, a novel self-assembly/polymerization two-in-one strategy was proposed to prepare a new family of poly-2-phenyl-benzobisthiazole-based nanoparticles. Because the hydrophobic polymer PB was well "camouflaged" in the hydrophilic polyphenol-metal networks, the prepared "Trojan horse-like" nanoparticle TF-PB exhibited good water dispersibility. Besides, TF-PB can play a role as a contrast agent for photoacoustic and magnetic resonance dual-modality imaging. When deferoxamine was artificially applied and interacted with TF-PB, the polyphenol-metal networks disintegrated and the hydrophobic material PB was exposed and started hydrophobic aggregation. Thus, it can be applied for precise enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) in the NIR-II. Meanwhile, the aggregation process enabled non-invasive, fast, and accurate real-time monitoring by self-enhancing photoacoustic imaging. This work has realized the artificially controllable aggregation of photothermal materials in the tumor site, solved the limitations of traditional PTT, and also has good application prospects in clinical therapy.

Abstract
T and B lymphocytes are two major adaptive immune cells in the human defense system. To real-time monitor their diverse functions, a live-cell-selective probe for only one cell type is need to investigate the complex interaction of the immune cells. Herein, a small-molecule probe CDyB for live B cells is developed by an unbiased fluorescence library screening. The cell selectivity was confirmed by multiparametric single-cell analysis using CyTOF. Through a systematic SLC-CRISPRi library screening, the molecular target of CDyB was identified as SLC35C2 transporter based on a gating-oriented live-cell distinction (GOLD) mechanism. The gene expression analysis and knock-out experiments validated that the SLC35C2 transporter was the target for CDyB distinction. Interestingly, when CDyB was applied to study B cell development, the CDyB fluorescence and SLC35C2 expression were positively correlated with the B cell maturation process, and not involved in the T cell development.

Abstract
Imaging to evaluate tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) is imperative for cancer immunotherapy but remains challenging. We herein report an activatable semiconducting polymer nanoprobe (SPCy) for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging of neutrophil elastase (NE), a biomarker of TANs. SPCy comprises a semiconducting polymer conjugated with a hemicyanine (hemi-Cy) dye caged by a NE-cleavable peptide as the side chain. After systemic administration, SPCy passively targets the tumor and reacts with NE to "uncage" the hemi-Cy, leading to enhanced NIRF and PA signals of the hemi-Cy but unchanged signals of the SP. Such NE-activated ratiometric NIRF and enhanced PA signals of SPCy correlate with the intratumoral population of TANs. Thus, this study not only presents the first TAN-specific PA probe, but also provides a general molecular design strategy for PA imaging of other immune-related biomarkers to facilitate screening of cancer immunotherapeutics.

Abstract
Precise monitoring of the subtle pH fluctuation during biological events remains a big challenge. Previously, we reported an ultra-pH-sensitive (UPS) nanoprobe library with a sharp pH response using co-polymerization of two tertiary amine-containing monomers with distinct pKa . Currently, we have generalized the UPS nanoparticle library with tunable pH transitions (pHt ) by copolymerization of a tertiary amine-containing monomer with a series of non-ionizable monomers. The pHt of nanoparticles is fine-tuned by the non-ionizable monomers with different hydrophobicity. Each non-ionizable monomer presents a constant contribution to pH tunability regardless of tertiary amine-containing monomers. Based on this strategy, we produced two libraries of nanoprobes with continuous pHt covering the entire physiological pH range (5.0-7.4) for fluorescent imaging of endosome maturation and cancers. This generalized strategy provides a powerful toolkit for biological studies and cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy does not benefit the majority of treated patients, and those who respond to the therapy can become resistant to it. Here we report the design and performance of systemically administered protease activity sensors conjugated to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (αPD1) antibodies for the monitoring of antitumour responses to ICB therapy. The sensors consist of a library of mass-barcoded protease substrates that, when cleaved by tumour proteases and immune proteases, are released into urine, where they can be detected by mass spectrometry. By using syngeneic mouse models of colorectal cancer, we show that random forest classifiers trained on mass spectrometry signatures from a library of αPD1-conjugated mass-barcoded activity sensors for differentially expressed tumour proteases and immune proteases can be used to detect early antitumour responses and discriminate resistance to ICB therapy driven by loss-of-function mutations in either the B2m or Jak1 genes. Biomarkers of protease activity may facilitate the assessment of early responses to ICB therapy and the classification of refractory tumours based on resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Cathepsin B (CTSB) is a lysosomal protease that is overexpressed in the early stage of many cancer types. Precise evaluation of CTSB expression in vivo may provide a promising method for the early diagnosis of cancers. By virtue of the high-resolution PA imaging modality, a "smart" photoacoustic (PA) probe Cypate-CBT, which can self-assemble to cypate-containing nanoparticles in response to abundant GSH and CTSB inside tumor cells, was developed for the sensitive and specific detection of CTSB activity. Compared with unmodified Cypate, our probe Cypate-CBT exhibited a 4.9-fold or 4.7-fold PA signal enhancement in CTSB-overexpressing MDA-MB-231 cancer cells or tumors, respectively, revealing intracellular accumulation of the probe after CTSB-initiated self-assembly. We expect Cypate-CBT to be employed as an effective PA imaging agent for clinical diagnosis of cancer at early stages.

Abstract
Combination photoimmunotherapy holds promise for tumor suppression; however, smart phototherapeutic agents that only activate their immunotherapeutic action in tumor have been rarely developed, which have the potential advantage of reduced side effect. Herein, we report a semiconducting polymer nano-regulator (SPN T ) with cascading activation for combinational photodynamic immunotherapy of cancer. SPN T comprises an immunoregulator (M-Trp: 1-methyltryptophan ) conjugating to the side chain of semiconducting polymer backbone using an apoptotic biomarker-cleavable linker. Under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, SPN T produces singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) to cause immunogenic apoptosis . Concurrently, the upregulation of apoptotic biomarker triggers the specific cleavage of M-Trp from SPN T , leading to specific intratumoral immunotherapeutic activation. Released M-Trp inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity, and thus decreases regulatory T cells (Tregs) formation and drives cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) infiltration. SPN T -mediated combination photodynamic immunotherapy thus reprograms the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), resulting in efficient suppression of both primary and distant tumors, and inhibition of lung metastasis.

Abstract
Optical imaging, especially fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging, possesses non-invasiveness, high spatial and temporal resolution, and high sensitivity, etc., compared to positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Due to the merits from the second near infrared (NIR-II) window imaging, like deeper penetration depth, high signal-to-noise ratio, high resolution, and low tissue damage, researchers devote great efforts to develop contrast agents with NIR-II absorption or emission. In this review, we summarized recently developed organic luminescent and photoacoustic materials, ranging from small molecules to conjugated polymers. Then, we systematically introduced engineering strategies and their imaging performance, classified by the skeleton cores. Finally, we elucidated the challenges and prospective of these NIR-II organic dyes for potential clinical applications. We hope our summary can inspire further development of NIR-II contrast agents.

Abstract
The direct visualization of vaccine fate is important to investigate its immunoactivation process to elucidate the detailed molecular reaction process at single-molecular level. Yet, visualization of the spatiotemporal trafficking of vaccines remains poorly explored. Here, we show that quantum dot (QD) nanomaterials allow for monitoring vaccine dynamics and for amplified immune response. Synthetic QDs enable efficient conjugation of antigen and adjuvants to target tissues and cells, and non-invasive imaging the trafficking dynamics to lymph nodes and cellular compartments. The nanoparticle vaccine elicits potent immune responses and anti-tumor efficacy alone or in combination with programmed cell death protein 1 blockade. The synthetic QDs showed high fluorescence quantum yield and superior photostability, and the reliable and long-term spatiotemporal tracking of vaccine dynamics was realized for the first time by using the synthetic QDs, providing a powerful strategy for studying immune response and evaluating vaccine efficacy.

Abstract
Most photoacoustic (PA) imaging agents are based on the repurposing of existing fluorescent dye platforms that exhibit non-optimal properties for PA applications. Herein, we introduce PA-HD, a new dye scaffold optimized for PA probe development that features a 4.8-fold increase in sensitivity and a red-shift of the λabs from 690 nm to 745 nm to enable ratiometric imaging. Computational modeling was used to elucidate the origin of these enhanced properties. To demonstrate the generalizability of our remodeling efforts, we developed three probes for β-galactosidase activity (PA-HD-Gal), nitroreductase activity (PA-HD-NTR), and H2 O2 (PA-HD-H2 O2 ). We generated two cancer models to evaluate PA-HD-Gal and PA-HD-NTR. We employed a murine model of Alzheimer's disease to test PA-HD-H2 O2 . There, we observed a PA signal increase at 735 nm of 1.79±0.20-fold relative to background, indicating the presence of oxidative stress. These results were confirmed via ratiometric calibration, which was not possible using the parent HD platform.

Abstract
We developed a cyclic amplification method for an organic afterglow nanoreporter for the real-time visualization of self-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). We promoted semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (PFODBT) as a candidate for emitting near-infrared afterglow luminescence. Introduction of a chemiluminescent substrate (CPPO) into PFODBT (PFODBT@CPPO) resulted in a significant enhancement of afterglow intensity through the dual cyclic amplification pathway involving singlet oxygen (1 O2 ). 1 O2 produced by PFODBT@CPPO induced cancer cell necrosis and promoted the release of damage-related molecular patterns, thereby evoking immunogenic cell death (ICD)-associated immune responses through ROS-based oxidative stress. The afterglow luminescent signals of the nanoreporter were well correlated with light-driven 1 O2 generation and anti-cancer efficiency. This imaging strategy provides a non-invasive tool for predicting the therapeutic outcome that occurs during ROS-mediated cancer therapy.

Abstract
Tumor angiogenesis is a complex process that is unamenable to intravital whole-process monitoring, especially on microscopic assessment of tumor microvessel and quantifying microvascular hemodynamics before and after the nanotherapeutics, which hinder the understanding of nanotheranostics outcomes in tumor treatment. Herein, a new photoacoustic (PA) imaging-optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)-laser speckle (LS) multimodal imaging strategy is first proposed, which is not only able to precisely macro guide the thermo-chemotherapy of tumor by monitoring blood oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) and hemoglobin content (HbT), but also capable of long-term microscopic investigating the microvessel morphology (microvascular density) and hemodynamics changes (relative blood flow) before and after the nanotherapeutics in vivo. Moreover, to realize the tumor thermo-chemotherapy treatment based on this novel multimodal imaging strategy, a 2D 5-fluorouracil silicon nanosheets (5-Fu-Si NSs) therapeutic agent is designed. Furthermore, 2D high-resolution tumor microvascular images in different stage display that tendency of the thermo-chemotherapy effect is closely associated with tumor angiogenesis. Taken together, the investigations establish the fundamental base in theory and technology for further tailoring the novel specific diagnosis and treatment strategy in tumor. More importantly, this technique will be beneficial to evaluate the tumor microvascular response to nanotherapeutics at microscale.

Abstract
Herein, we describe an energy balance strategy between fluorescence and photoacoustic effects by sulfur substitution to transform existing hemicyanine dyes (Cy) into optimized NIRF/PA dual ratiometric scaffolds. Based on this optimized scaffold, we reported the first dual-ratio response of nitroreductase probe AS-Cy-NO2 , which allows quantitative visualization of tumor hypoxia in vivo. AS-Cy-NO2 , composed of a new NIRF/PA scaffold thioxanthene-hemicyanine (AS-Cy-1) and a 4-nitrobenzene moiety, showed a 10-fold ratiometric NIRF enhancement (I773 /I733 ) and 2.4-fold ratiometric PA enhancement (PA730 /PA670 ) upon activation by a biomarker (nitroreductase, NTR) associated with tumor hypoxia. Moreover, the dual ratiometric NIRF/PA imaging accurately quantified the hypoxia extent with high sensitivity and high imaging depth in xenograft breast cancer models. More importantly, the 3D maximal intensity projection (MIP) PA images of the probe can precisely differentiate the highly heterogeneous oxygen distribution in solid tumor. Thus, this study provides a promising NIRF/PA scaffold that may be generalized for the dual ratiometric imaging of other disease-relevant biomarkers.

Abstract
Controlling the structural order of nanoparticles (NPs), morphology, and composition is of paramount significance in tailoring the physical properties of nanoassembly. However, the commonly reported symmetrical nanocomposites often suffer an interference or sacrifice of the photophysical properties of the original components. To address this challenge, we developed a novel type of organic-inorganic Janus nanocomposite (JNCP) with an asymmetric architecture, offering unique features such as the precisely controlled localization of components, combined modular optical properties, and independent stimuli. As a proof of concept, JNCPs were prepared by incorporating two photoacoustic (PA) imaging agents, namely an organic semiconducting dye and responsive gold nanoparticles (AuNP) assembly in separate compartments of JNCP. Theoretical simulation results confirmed that the formation mechanism of JNCPs arises from the entropy equilibrium in the system. The AuNP assembly generated a PA images with the variation of pH, while the semiconducting molecule served as an internal PA standard agent, leading to ratiometric PA imaging of pH. JNCP based probe holds great potential for real-time and accurate detection of diverse biological targets in living systems.
