Abstract
Sensitive and accurate determination of glyphosate (GLYP) is vital for food safety and environmental protection. Herein, a novel electrochemical ratiometric biosensor was designed for the accurate quantification of GLYP through one-step electrodeposition of MWCNTs-Cu MOF films. MWCNTs-Cu MOF nanostructures were directly electro-synthesized in situ on the electrode from the precursor solution. The combination of Cu MOFs with MWCNTs not merely improved the conductivity of MOFs, but also enhanced the sensitivity of the biosensor. Furthermore, Cu sites within Cu MOFs were turned into CuCl to further amplify the current signal and enable the specific recognition of GLYP through competing reactions with the transformation of CuCl into non-electroactive Cu-GLYP. Meanwhile, internal reference molecules of methylene blue (MB) were incorporated to improve the measurement accuracy of GLYP for reducing unpredictable measurement errors aroused by environmental deviations. The ratiometric electrochemical sensor exhibited a high linearity with the logarithmic value of GLYP concentration from 0.5 nM to 400 nM. The detection limit was estimated to be as low as 0.014 nM. Finally, the present sensor with ratiometric signal export was applied for GLYP analysis in real samples with high sensitivity and accuracy. The simplicity and reliability of the ratiometric sensor make it a worthy and powerful tool for food and environmental monitoring. This design strategy also provides an avenue for the development of simple and efficient biosensors for other substances.

Abstract
Simultaneously quantifying mitochondrial Cu+ and Cu2+ levels is crucial for evaluating the molecular mechanisms of copper accumulation-involved pathological processes. Here, a series of molecules containing various diacetylene derivatives as Raman reporters are designed and synthesized, and the alkyne-tagged SERS probe is created for determination Cu+ and Cu2+ with high selectivity and sensitivity. The developed SERS probe generates well-separated distinguishable Raman fingerprint peaks with built-in corrections in the cellular silent region, resulting in accurate quantification of Cu+ and Cu2+. The present probe demonstrates high tempo-spatial resolution for real-time imaging and simultaneously quantifying mitochondrial Cu+ and Cu2+ with long-term stability benefiting from the probe assembly with designed Au-C≡C groups. Using this powerful tool, it is found that mitochondrial Cu+ and Cu2+ increase during ischemia are associated with breakdown of proteins containing copper as well as conversion of Cu+ and Cu2+. Meanwhile, we observe that parts of Cu+ and Cu2+ are transported out of neurons by ATPase. More importantly, cuproptosis in neurons is found including the oxidative stress process caused by the conversion of Cu+ to Cu2+, which dominates at the early stage (<9 h), and subsequent proteotoxic stress. Both oxidative and proteotoxic stresses contribute to neuronal death.

A Potentiometric Dual-Channel Microsensor Reveals that Fluctuation of H 2 S is Less pH-Dependent During Spreading Depolarization in the Rat Brain. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202318973.

Abstract
Spreading depolarization (SD) is one of the most common neuropathologic phenomena in the nervous system, relating to numerous diseases. However, real-time monitoring the rapid chemical changes during SD to probe the molecular mechanism remains a great challenge. We develop a potentiometric dual-channel microsensor for simultaneous monitoring of H2 S and pH featuring excellent selectivity and spatiotemporal resolution. Using this microsensor we first observe real time changes of H2 S and pH in the rat brain induced by SD. This changes of H2 S are completely suppressed when the rat pre-treats with aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA), a blocker to inhibit the H2 S-producing enzyme, indicating H2 S fluctuation might be related to enzyme-dependent pathway during SD and less pH-dependent. This study provides a new perspective for studying the function of H2 S and the molecular basis of SD-associated diseases.

Abstract
Cuproptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death which guarantees to increase the efficacy of existing anticancer treatments that employ traditional apoptotic therapeutics. However, reducing the amount of undesirable Cu ions released in normal tissue and maximizing Cu-induced cuproptosis therapeutic effects at tumor sites are the major challenges. In this study, exploiting the chemical properties of copper ionophores and the tumor microenvironment, a novel method is developed for controlling the valence of copper ions that cause photoinduced cuproptosis in tumor cells. CJS-Cu nanoparticles (NPs) can selectively induce cuproptosis after cascade reactions through H2 O2 -triggered Cu2+ release, photoirradiation-induced superoxide radical (∙O2 - ) generation, and reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+ by ∙O2 - . The generated reactive oxygen species can result in glutathione depletion and iron-sulfur cluster protein damage and further augmented cuproptosis. CJS-Cu NPs effectively suppressed tumor growth and downregulated the expression of metastasis-related proteins, contributing to the complete inhibition of lung metastasis. Ultimately, this study suggests novel avenues for the manipulation of cellular cuproptosis through photochemical reactions.

Abstract
Neurochemicals, crucial for nervous system function, influence vital bodily processes and their fluctuations are linked to neurodegenerative diseases and mental health conditions. Monitoring these compounds is pivotal, yet the intricate nature of the central nervous system poses challenges. Researchers have devised methods, notably electrochemical sensing with micro-nanoscale electrodes, offering high-resolution monitoring despite low concentrations and rapid changes. Implantable sensors enable precise detection in brain tissues with minimal damage, while microdialysis-coupled platforms allow in vivo sampling and subsequent in vitro analysis, addressing the selectivity issues seen in other methods. While lacking temporal resolution, techniques like HPLC and CE complement electrochemical sensing's selectivity, particularly for structurally similar neurochemicals. This review covers essential neurochemicals and explores miniaturized electrochemical sensors for brain analysis, emphasizing microdialysis integration. It discusses the pros and cons of these techniques, forecasting electrochemical sensing's future in neuroscience research. Overall, this comprehensive review outlines the evolution, strengths, and potential applications of electrochemical sensing in the study of neurochemicals, offering insights into future advancements in the field.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder causing the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the drastic depletion of dopamine (DA) in the striatum; thus, DA can act as a marker for PD diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation. However, detecting DA in the brain is not easy because of its low concentration and difficulty in sampling. In this work, we report the fabrication of a covalent organic framework (COF)-modified carbon fiber microelectrode (cCFE) that enables the real-time detection of DA in the mouse brain thanks to the outstanding antibiofouling and antichemical fouling ability, excellent analytical selectivity, and sensitivity offered by the COF modification. In particular, the COF can inhibit the polymerization of DA on the electrode (namely, chemical fouling) by spatially confining the molecular conformation and electrochemical oxidation of DA. The cCFE can stably and continuously work in the mouse brain to detect DA and monitor the variation of its concentration. Furthermore, it was combined with levodopa administration to devise a closed-loop feedback mode for PD diagnosis and therapy, in which the cCFE real-time monitors the concentration of DA in the PD model mouse brain to instruct the dose and injection time of levodopa, allowing a customized medication to improve therapeutic efficacy and meanwhile avoid adverse side effects. This work demonstrates the fascinating properties of a COF in fabricating electrochemical sensors for in vivo bioanalysis. We believe that the COF with structural tunability and diversity will offer enormous promise for selective detection of neurotransmitters in the brain.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrated a strategy to regulate the conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) surface, by the conjugated molecule wires for selective and sensitive determination of dopamine (DA) in the live brain. The MOFs were decorated at the carbon fiber electrode deposited by Au nanoleaves as the upper electric transducer to provide rich electrocatalytic sites for electron transfer of neurochemicals at the electrode surface, leading to greatly enhanced sensitivity for detection of neurochemicals. On the other hand, the conjugated molecular wire, 4-(thiophen-3-ylethynyl)-benzaldehyde (RP1), was synthesized and assembled as an underlying bridge to regulate the electrochemical processes at the MOF-based electrode, specifically decreasing the reaction Gibbs free energy of DA oxidation, thus selectively promoting the heterogeneous electron transfer of DA from the MOF layer to the electrode surface. Owing to the electrocatalytic activity for DA oxidation, the present microsensor exhibited high selectivity for real-time tracking of DA in a good linear relationship in the range of 0.004-0.4 μM with a detection limit of 1 nM. Eventually, this functionalized electrode was successfully applied for in vivo monitoring of DA in mouse brains with Parkinson's disease (PD) model. The results indicated that the levels of DA were obviously decreased in both acute and subacute PD models. Moreover, the level of DA strongly depended on the amount of uric acid (UA), a physiological antioxidant, which rose as the UA amount was lower than 200 mg kg-1 but was downregulated again after treatment by a higher amount of UA.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters, as important chemical small molecules, perform the function of neural signal transmission from cell to cell. Excess concentrations of neurotransmitters are often closely associated with brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's disease. On the other hand, the release of neurotransmitters under the induced stimulation indicates the occurrence of reward-related behaviors, including food and drug addiction. Therefore, to understand the physiological and pathological functions of neurotransmitters, especially in complex environments of the living brain, it is urgent to develop effective tools to monitor their dynamics with high sensitivity and specificity. Over the past 30 years, significant advances in electrochemical sensors and optical probes have brought new possibilities for studying neurons and neural circuits by monitoring the changes in neurotransmitters. This Review focuses on the progress in the construction of sensors for in vivo analysis of neurotransmitters in the brain and summarizes current attempts to address key issues in the development of sensors with high selectivity, sensitivity, and stability. Combined with the latest advances in technologies and methods, several strategies for sensor construction are provided for recording chemical signal changes in the complex environment of the brain.

Abstract
Analyzing the complex structures and functions of brain is the key issue to understanding the physiological and pathological processes. Although neuronal morphology and local distribution of neurons/blood vessels in the brain have been known, the subcellular structures of cells remain challenging, especially in the live brain. In addition, the complicated brain functions involve numerous functional molecules, but the concentrations, distributions and interactions of these molecules in the brain are still poorly understood. In this review, frontier techniques available for multiscale structure imaging from organelles to the whole brain are first overviewed, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), serial-section electron microscopy (ssEM), light microscopy (LM) and synchrotron-based X-ray microscopy (XRM). Specially, XRM for three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale brain tissue with high resolution and fast imaging speed is highlighted. Additionally, the development of elegant methods for acquisition of brain functions from electrical/chemical signals in the brain is outlined. In particular, the new electrophysiology technologies for neural recordings at the single-neuron level and in the brain are also summarized. We also focus on the construction of electrochemical probes based on dual-recognition strategy and surface/interface chemistry for determination of chemical species in the brain with high selectivity and long-term stability, as well as electrochemophysiological microarray for simultaneously recording of electrochemical and electrophysiological signals in the brain. Moreover, the recent development of brain MRI probes with high contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and sensitivity based on hyperpolarized techniques and multi-nuclear chemistry is introduced. Furthermore, multiple optical probes and instruments, especially the optophysiological Raman probes and fiber Raman photometry, for imaging and biosensing in live brain are emphasized. Finally, a brief perspective on existing challenges and further research development is provided.

Abstract
The critical role of transition metal dyshomeostasis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology poses demands of in vivo imaging for brain copper levels. Nanostructured probes afford prolonged retention time, increased accumulation, and enhanced photostability; however, their development for activatable photoacoustic (PA) imaging remains largely unexplored. We develop a principle of concept for activable PA imaging using in situ cation exchange of ultrathin zinc selenide (ZnSe) nanoplatelets for monitoring brain copper levels in AD mice. We start from quantitative modeling of optical absorption, time-resolved temperature field, and thermal expansion of copper selenide (CuSe) nanocrystals of different morphologies and reveal that ultrathin nanoplatelets afford substantial enhancement of near-infrared (NIR) absorption and PA pressures as compared to nanodots and nanoparticles. By tethering with a blood-brain barrier (BBB)-targeting peptide ligand, the ultrathin ZnSe nanoplatelet probe efficiently transports across the BBB and rapidly exchanges with endogenous copper ions, boosting activatable PA imaging of brain copper levels. We also demonstrate that the efficient exchange of ZnSe nanoplatelets with copper ions can reduce oxidative stress of neurons and protect neuronal cells from apoptosis. The nanoplatelet probe provides a paradigm for activatable PA imaging of brain copper levels, highlighting its potential for pathophysiologic study of AD.

An Experimental Framework for Developing Point-of-Need Biosensors: Connecting Bio-Layer Interferometry and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:938.

Abstract
Biolayer interferometry (BLI) is a well-established laboratory technique for studying biomolecular interactions important for applications such as drug development. Currently, there are interesting opportunities for expanding the use of BLI in other fields, including the development of rapid diagnostic tools. To date, there are no detailed frameworks for implementing BLI in target-recognition studies that are pivotal for developing point-of-need biosensors. Here, we attempt to bridge these domains by providing a framework that connects output(s) of molecular interaction studies with key performance indicators used in the development of point-of-need biosensors. First, we briefly review the governing theory for protein-ligand interactions, and we then summarize the approach for real-time kinetic quantification using various techniques. The 2020 PRISMA guideline was used for all governing theory reviews and meta-analyses. Using the information from the meta-analysis, we introduce an experimental framework for connecting outcomes from BLI experiments (KD, kon, koff) with electrochemical (capacitive) biosensor design. As a first step in the development of a larger framework, we specifically focus on mapping BLI outcomes to five biosensor key performance indicators (sensitivity, selectivity, response time, hysteresis, operating range). The applicability of our framework was demonstrated in a study of case based on published literature related to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to show the development of a capacitive biosensor based on truncated angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as the receptor. The case study focuses on non-specific binding and selectivity as research goals. The proposed framework proved to be an important first step toward modeling/simulation efforts that map molecular interactions to sensor design.

Abstract
The development of in vivo analytical tools and methods for recording electrical signals and accurately quantifying chemical signals is a key issue for a comprehensive understanding of brain events. The electrophysiological microelectrode was invented to monitor electrical signals in free-moving brains. On the other hand, electrochemical assays with excellent spatiotemporal resolution provide an effect way to monitor chemical signals in vivo. Unfortunately, the in vivo electrochemical biosensors still have three limitations. First, many biological species such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and neurotransmitters demonstrate large overpotentials at conventional electrodes. Thus, it is hard to convert the chemical/electrochemical signals of these molecules into electric signals. Second, the interfacial properties of the recognition molecules assembled onto the electrode surfaces have a great influence on the transmission of electric charge through the interface and the stability of the modified recognition molecules. Meanwhile, the surface of biosensors implanted in the brain is easily absorbed by many proteins present in the brain, resulting in the loss of signals. Finally, activities in the brain including neuron discharges and electrophysiological signals may be affected by electrochemical measurements due to the application of extra potentials and/or currents.This Account presents a deep view of the fundamental design principles and solutions in response to the above challenges for developing in vivo biosensors with high performance while meeting the growing requirements, including high selectivity, long-time stability, and simultaneously monitoring electrical and chemical signals. We aim to highlight the basic criteria based on a double-recognition strategy for the selective biosensing of ROS, H2S, and HnS through the rational design of specific recognition molecules followed by electrochemical oxidation or reduction. Recent developments in designing functionalized surfaces through a systematic investigation of self-assembly with Au-S bonds, Au-Se bonds, and Au≡C bonds for facilitating electrochemical properties as well as improving the stability are summarized. More importantly, this Account highlights the novel methodologies for simultaneously monitoring electrical and chemical signals ascribed to the dynamic changes in K+, Na+, and Ca2+ and pH values in vivo. Additionally, SERS-based photophysiological microarray probes have been developed for quantitatively tracking chemical changes in the live brain together with recording electrophysiological signals.The design principles and novel strategies presented in this Account can be extended to the real-time tracking of electrical signals and the accurate quantification of more chemical signals such as amino acids, neurotransmitters, and proteins to understand the brain events. The final part also outlines potential future directions in constructing high-density microarrays, eventually enabling the large-scale dynamic recording of the chemical expression of multineuronal signals across the whole brain. There is still room to develop a multifiber microarray which can be coupled with photometric methods to record chemical signals both inside and outside neurons in the live brains of freely moving animals to understand physiological processes and screen drugs.

Abstract
Chemical biosensing techniques are essential for food analysis and disease diagnosis. Nanomaterials with redox activity show great potential in electrochemical analysis, acting as signal labels or signal amplification unit, which can reflect the targets concentration in foods and biological samples. Here, an ultra-sensitive dual-signal intrinsic self-calibration electrochemical platform for GSH was firstly fabricated based on the novel electroactive nanomaterial of ferrocene-functionalized copper metal-organic framework (Fc-Cu-MOF). Due to the solid-state electrochemical property of cuprous chloride (CuCl), a sharp characteristic peak with an increased signal appears with the coexistence of chloride ions in solution. The stronger specific affinity between Cu+ and GSH than that of Cu+ and Cl- triggers a "crowding effect" that causes the current signal of CuCl decrease greatly. Meanwhile, the peak current of ferrocene keeps unchanged as an internal reference. Based on the ratio of the peak current variation (ΔICu/ΔIFc) as the signal output, Fc-Cu-MOF modified electrode showed wider linear range in 0.1 nM -1 μM for GSH with the detection limit as low as 0.025 nM. And the sensor was successfully applied in the determination of GSH with excellent recoveries in various real samples such as food and serum samples, providing good prospect in application of bioanalysis and food screening.

Abstract
The emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic has affected the lives of hundreds of millions of people globally. There is no doubt that the development of fast and sensitive detection methods is crucial while the worldwide effective vaccination programs are miles away from actualization. In this study, we have reported an electrochemical N protein aptamer sensor with complementary oligonucleotide as probe for the specific detection of COVID-19. The electrochemical aptasensor was prepared by fixing the double-stranded DNA hybrid obtained by the hybridization of N protein aptamer and its Fc-labeled complementary strand on the surface of a gold electrode. After incubation with the target, the aptamer dissociated from the labeled complementary DNA oligonucleotide hybrid to preferentially bind with N protein in the solution. The concentration of N protein was measured by detecting the changes in electrochemical current signals induced by the conformational transformation of the complementary DNA oligonucleotide left on the electrode surface. The sensor had a linear relationship between the logarithm of the N protein concentration from 10 fM to 100 nM (ΔIp = 0.098 log CN protein/fM - 0.08433, R2 = 0.99), and the detection limitation was 1 fM (S/N = 3). The electrochemical aptamer sensor was applied to test the spiked concentrations of throat swabs and blood samples from three volunteers, and the obtained results proved that the sensor has great potentials for the early detection of COVID-19 in patients.

Abstract
Developing a novel tool capable of real-time monitoring and simultaneous quantitation of multiple molecules in mitochondria across the whole brain of freely moving animals is the key bottleneck for understanding the physiological and pathological roles that mitochondria play in the brain events. Here we built a Raman fiber photometry, and created a highly selective non-metallic Raman probe based on the triple-recognition strategies of chemical reaction, charge transfer, and characteristic fingerprint peaks, for tracking and simultaneous quantitation of mitochondrial O2 .- , Ca2+ and pH at the same location in six brain regions of free-moving animal upon hypoxia. It was found that mitochondrial O2 .- , Ca2+ and pH changed from superficial to deep brain regions upon hypoxia. It was discovered that hypoxia-induced mitochondrial O2 .- burst was regulated by ASIC1a, leading to mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and acidification. Furthermore, we found the overload of mitochondrial Ca2+ was mostly attributed to the influx of extracellular Ca2+ .

Abstract
In vivo monitoring of cerebral pH is of great significance because its disturbance is related to some pathological processes such as neurodegenerative diseases, for example, Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we developed an electrochemical microsensor based on poly(melamine) (PMel) films for ratiometric monitoring of pH in subacute PD mouse brains. In this microsensor, PMel films were prepared from a simple electropolymerization approach in a melamine-containing solution, serving as the selective pH recognition membrane undergoing a 2H+/2e- process. Meanwhile, electrochemically oxidized graphene oxide (EOGO) produced a built-in correction signal which helped avoid the environmental interference of the complicated brain systems. The potential difference between the peaks generated from EOGO and PMel gradually decreased with the aqueous pH increasing from 4.0 to 9.0, constituting the detection foundation of the ratiometric electrochemical microsensor (REM). The in vitro studies demonstrated that this proposed method exhibited a high sensitivity (a Nernstian response of -61.35 mV/pH) and remarkable selectivity against amino acids, anions, cations, and biochemical and reactive oxygen species coexisting in the brain. Coupled with its excellent stability and reproducibility and good antibiofouling based on short-term detection, the developed REM could serve as a disposable sensor for the determination of cerebral pH in vivo. Its following successful application in the real-time measurement of pH in the striatum, hippocampus, and cortex of rat brains in the events of global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion verified the reliability of this method. Finally, we adopted this robust REM to systematically analyze and compare the average pH in different regions of normal and subacute PD mouse brains.

Abstract
The lack of reliable approaches for real-time measurement and quantification of polysulfides (H2Sn) in vivo greatly limits the exploration of their potential roles in brain functions. Herein, an electrochemical probe, 4-(5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentanamido)-1,2-phenylene bis(2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate) (FP2), was rationally designed and created for determination of H2Sn. The bis-electrophilic groups of FP2 could specifically recognize two -SH groups in H2Sn and trigger the generation of an electroactive pyrocatechol moiety, resulting in a well-defined faradic current signal at ∼0.24 V (vs Ag/AgCl). Meanwhile, bidentate thiols were designed as anchoring sites to greatly improve the assembled stability of FP2 at the Au surface, which efficiently defended the interference of glutathione (GSH) with a current decrease of less than 5.2% even after long-term measurements in 5 mM GSH for 3 h. In addition, a stable inner reference molecule with dithiols, α-lipoic acid ferrocenylamide (FcBT), was synthesized to construct a ratiometric electrochemical strategy for in vivo determination of H2Sn through one-step coassembling with FP2 via double S-Au bonds. The present ratiometric strategy demonstrated high selectivity for real-time tracking of H2Sn in a linear range of 0.25-20 μM. Eventually, the developed microelectrode with high selectivity, accuracy, and stability was employed for in vivo assaying of H2Sn in mouse brains with ischemia.

Abstract
Intracellular pH plays an important role in many biological and pathological processes. Small-molecule based pH probes are found to be the most effective for pH sensing because of ease of preparation, high sensitivity, and quick response. They have many advantages such as small perturbation to the functions of the target, functional adaptability, cellular component-specific localization, etc. The present review highlights the flurry of recent activity in the development of such probes. The probes are categorized based on the type of fluorophore used like quinoline, coumarin, BODIPY, rhodamine, indolium, naphthalimide, etc., and their analytical performance is discussed.

Abstract
Brain pH has been proven to be a key factor in maintaining normal brain function. The relationship between local pH fluctuation and brain disease has not been extensively studied due to lack of the accurate in situ analysis technology. Herein, we have for the first time proposed a voltammetric pH sensor by measuring the ratio of current signals instead of the previously reported potential based on the Nernst equation. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were first self-assembled on the electrode surface of a carbon-fiber nanotip electrode (CFNE). Then, poly-o-phenylenediamine (PoPD) molecules were deposited as pH-responsive molecules through in situ electrochemical polymerization. The compact CFNE/CNT/PoPD exhibited a good redox process with the on-off-on ratiometric electrochemical response to pH ranging from 4.5 to 8.2, providing self-correction for in situ pH detection. Thus, the proposed sensor enabled the accurate measurement of pH with excellent selectivity even in the presence of proteins or electroactive species. In addition, the sensor showed high repeatability, reproducibility, and reversibility in measuring pH and even demonstrated good stability when it was exposed to air for 5 months. Finally, we successfully detected the fluctuation of pH in rat brains with cerebral ischemia and rat whole blood. Overall, this research not only provides a good tool for the detection of rat brain pH but also provides a new strategy for further designing nanosensors for intracellular or subcellular pH.

Abstract
The imbalance of Cu+ and Cu2+ in the brain is closely related to neurodegenerative diseases. However, it still lacks of effective analytical methods for simultaneously determining the concentrations of Cu+ and Cu2+ . Herein, we created a novel SERS probe (CuSP) to real-time track and accurately quantify extracellular concentrations of Cu+ and Cu2+ in the live brain. The present CuSP probe demonstrated specific ability for recognition of Cu+ and Cu2+ in a dual-recognition mode. Then, a microarray consisting of 8 CuSP probes with high tempo-spatial resolution and good accuracy was constructed for tracking and simultaneously biosensing of Cu+ and Cu2+ in the cerebral cortex of living brain. Using our powerful tool, it was found that that the concentrations of Cu2+ and Cu+ were increased by ≈4.26 and ≈1.80 times upon ischemia, respectively. Three routes were first discovered for understanding the mechanisms of the increased concentrations of Cu+ and Cu2+ during ischemia.

Abstract
Understanding physiological and pathological processes in the brain requires tracking the reversible changes in chemical signals with long-term stability. We developed a new anti-biofouling microfiber array to real-time quantify extracellular Ca2+ concentrations together with neuron activity across many regions in the mammalian brain for 60 days, in which the signal degradation was < ca. 8 %. The microarray with high tempo-spatial resolution (ca. 10 μm, ca. 1.3 s) was implanted into 7 brain regions of free-moving mice to monitor reversible changes of extracellular Ca2+ upon ischemia-reperfusion processes. The changing sequence and rate of Ca2+ in 7 brain regions were different during the stroke. ROS scavenger could protect Ca2+ influx and neuronal activity after stroke, suggesting the significant influence of ROS on Ca2+ overload and neuron death. We demonstrated this microarray is a versatile tool for investigating brain dynamic during pathological processes and drug treatment.

Abstract
Microelectrode-based electrochemical (EC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors are promising candidates for in vivo analysis of biologically important chemicals. However, limited selectivity in complicated biological systems and poor adaptability to electrochemically non-active species restrained their applications. Herein, we propose the concept of modulating the PEC output by a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. The emission of energy donor was dependent on the concentration of target SO2 , which in turn served as the modulator of the photocurrent signal of the photoactive material. The employment of optical modulation circumvented the problem of selectivity, and the as-fabricated PEC microelectrode showed good stability and reproducibility in vivo. It can monitor fluctuations of SO2 levels in brains of rat models of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and febrile seizure. More significantly, such a FRET modulated signaling strategy can be extended to diverse analytes.

Abstract
There is still an urgent need to develop reliable analytical methods of O2•- in vivo for deeply elucidating the roles of O2•- playing in the brain. Herein, a nonenzymatic electrochemical sensor with ratiometric signal output was developed for an in vivo analysis of O2•- in the rat brain. Diphenylphosphonate-2-naphthol ester (ND) was designed and synthesized as a specific recognition molecule for the selective determination of O2•-. An anodic peak ascribed to the oxidation of 2-naphthol was generated via the nucleophilic substitution between ND and O2•- and was increased with the increasing concentration of O2•-. Meanwhile, the inner reference of methylene blue (MB) was co-assembled at the electrode surface to enhance the determination accuracy of O2•-. The anodic peak current ratio between 2-naphthol and MB exhibited a good linear relationship with the concentration of O2•- from 2 to 200 μM. Because of the stable molecule character of ND and its specific reaction with O2•-, the developed electrochemical sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity toward various potential interferences in the brain and good stability even after storage for 7 days. Accordingly, the present electrochemical sensor with high selectivity, high stability, and high accuracy was successfully exploited in monitoring the levels of O2•- in the rat brain and that of the diabetic model followed by cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
Described here is that Au-C≡C bonds showed the highest stability under biological conditions, with abundant thiols, and the best electrochemical performance compared to Au-S and Au-Se bonds. The new finding was also confirmed by theorical calculations. Based on this finding, a specific molecule for recognition of Fe2+ was designed and synthesized, and used to create a selective and accurate electrochemical sensor for the quantification of Fe2+ . The present ratiometric strategy demonstrates high spatial resolution for real-time tracking of Fe2+ in a dynamic range of 0.2-120 μM. Finally, a microelectrode array with good biocompatibility was applied in imaging and biosensing of Fe2+ in the different regions of live mouse brains. Using this tool, it was discovered that the uptake of extracellular Fe2+ into the cortex and striatum was largely mediated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) through the CREB-related pathway in the brain of a mouse with Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
pH and Ca2+ play important roles in regulating lysosomal activity and lysosome-mediated physiological and pathological processes. However, effective methods for simultaneous determination of pH and Ca2+ is the bottleneck. Herein, a single DNA-based FLIM reporter was developed for real-time imaging and simultaneous quantification of pH and Ca2+ in lysosomes with high affinity, in which a specific probe for recognition of Ca2+ was assembled onto a DNA nanostructure together with pH-responsive and lysosome-targeted molecules. The developed DNA reporter showed excellent biocompatibility and long-term stability up to ∼56 h in lysosomes. Using this powerful tool, it was discovered that pH was closely related to Ca2+ concentration in lysosome, whereas autophagy can be regulated by lysosomal pH and Ca2+. Furthermore, Aβ-induced neuronal death resulted from autophagy abnormal through lysosomal pH and Ca2+ changes. In addition, lysosomal pH and Ca2+ were found to regulate the transformation of NSCs, resulting in Rapamycin-induced antiaging. A DNA-based FLIM reporter was developed for tracking lysosomal pH and Ca2+ It was found that autophagy could be induced by lysosomal pH and Ca2+ Aβ-induced neuronal death was due to pHly- and [Ca2+]ly-mediated autophagy abnormal Antiaging-related transformation of qNSCs can be regulated by pHly and [Ca2+]ly

Abstract
A variety of fluorescence probes have been developed for fluorescence imaging of metals in biological cells. However, accurate quantification of metals with fluorescent approaches is challenging due to the difficulty in establishing a standard calibration curve in living cells. Herein, a fluorescence imaging protocol is developed for imaging intracellular Cu2+ and its correlation with the cellular uptake of copper. The total amount of intracellular Cu is detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in parallel. Fluorescence imaging of Cu2+ is accomplished with Rhodamine B derivative modified carbon dots (CDs-Rbh) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from CDs to rhodamine. Intracellular Cu2+ is correlated with fluorescence ratio at λem 500-600 nm (rhodamine) to λem 425-475 nm (CDs) with excitation at λex 405 nm. It is found that Cu2+ is linearly correlated with the total intracellular uptaken copper content, with a linear correlation between the relative fluorescence ratio in fluorescence imaging and intracellular Cu derived from ICP-MS, including both Cu(I) and Cu(II) species. The linear calibration equation is lg(F2/F1) = 0.00148 m[Cu]-0.3622. This approach facilitates further investigation and elucidation of copper transition in live cells and the evaluation of their cytotoxicity.

Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 165:112402. [PMID: 32729522 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Revised: 06/07/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, while the exact mechanism that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as one of the most abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) exerts its influence on oxidative stress remains unclear. We developed a novel turn-on ratiometric electrochemical sensor for the detection of H2O2 in blood samples. The electrochemical probe 5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)-N-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)pent-anamide (BA) was designed and synthesized for the selective detection of H2O2 via a one-step amide reaction. Meanwhile, Nile Blue A (NB) was optimized as an internal reference molecule, thus enabling accurate quantification of H2O2 in a complex environment. BA and NB were then co-assembled onto a carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME) coated with Au cones. The oxidation peak current ratio between BA and NB demonstrated good linearity with the logarithm of the H2O2 concentration values ranging from 0.5 μM to 400 μM with a low detection limit of 0.02 μM. The developed sensor showed remarkable selectivity against potential interferences in whole blood samples, especially for ascorbic acid, uric acid, and dopamine. In combination with the unique characteristics of CFME, such as a small size and good biocompatibility, the microsensor was used for rapid analysis of one drop of whole blood sample. This sensor not only creates a new platform for the detection of H2O2 in whole blood samples, but also provides a new design strategy of other ROS analysis for early diagnosis of ROS-related diseases, drug discovery processes, and pathological mechanisms.

Abstract
Herein we report the fabrication of highly sensitive solid-state pH sensors based on iridium oxide nanowires (IONWs) for a wide-range of pH measurements. IONWs were confined electrodeposits on the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode using a highly ordered silica nanochannel membrane as the template. Subsequently removing the template produced amorphous IONWs consisting of hydrated iridium oxyhydroxides. The IONW/ITO sensor can rapidly respond to the pH of the aqueous solutions in a wide range (from 0 to 13), avoiding the acid and alkaline errors encountered by conventional pH electrodes and exhibiting a super-Nernst analytical sensitivity as high as 235.5 mV/pH in the very acidic range of ∼0-2.5 and 90.1 mV/pH beyond (pH = ∼2.5-13). The sensitivity was associated with the interconversion of oxidation states of iridium oxyhydroxides. While in the very acidic range, intercalation of Cl- was proved to be responsible for the exceptionally high pH sensitivity. Moreover, the sensor was also demonstrated to work in organic solutions too. Finally, the flexible IONW/ITO electrode was prepared and interfaced to a wireless electrochemical device for real-time epidermal pH analysis with smartphones.

Abstract
The development of switches responding to specific pH changes was particularly useful in wide application fields. Owing to flexible switches simulated by pH, i-motif DNAs are widely used as a pH sensor. But its character of structure transition strongly dependent on acidic pH severely hampers the application of i-motif DNA in physiological media. Herein, we report the stable i-motif structure formed at a physiological pH triggered by spatial confinement of silica nanochannels. Three classic DNA chains containing 21-mer i-motif domain base-pairs and a single-stranded multiply (T)n spacer, 5'-COOH-(T)n-CCCTAACCCTAACCCTAACCC-3', were employed to evaluate the enhanced stability of i-motif structure. Compared to their free states in a dilute solution, the transition pH of all i-motif DNAs decorated in nanochannels remarkably shifts toward a neutral pH. Moreover, the transition midpoint can be tuned sensitively over the physiologically relevant pH range through slightly varying the length of T base spacer. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations validate that the increased proton density in a nanochannel triggers the formation of an i-motif structure under a neutral pH. Finally, this i-motif DNA based nanochannels electrode was successfully employed to monitor pH in brain microdialysates followed by cerebral ischemia. The present approach is not limited by fundamental investigation for DNA conformation but may extend toward the manipulation of i-motif based structures for artificial molecular machines and signaling systems.

Abstract
Cu is one of the essential elements for life. Its dyshomeostasis has been demonstrated to be closely related to neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation and Cu accumulation. It is a great challenge as to how to take advantage of neurotoxic Cu to fight disease and make it helpful. Herein, we report that the accumulated Cu in Aβ plaques can effectively catalyze an azide-alkyne bioorthogonal cycloaddition reaction for fluorophore activation and drug synthesis in living cells, a transgenic AD model of Caenorhabditis elegans CL2006, and brain slices of triple transgenic AD mice. More importantly, the in situ synthesized bifunctional drug 6 can disassemble Aβ-Cu aggregates by extracting Cu and photo-oxygenating Aβ synergistically, suppressing Aβ-mediated paralysis and diminishing the locomotion defects of the AD model CL2006 strain. Our results demonstrate that taking the accumulated Cu ions in the Aβ plaque for an in situ click reaction can achieve both a self-triggered and self-regulated drug synthesis for AD therapy. To the best of our knowledge, a click reaction catalyzed by local Cu in a physiological environment has not been reported. This work may open up a new avenue for in situ multifunctional drug synthesis by using endogenous neurotoxic metal ions for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
A biosensor was created for the simultaneous monitoring of endogenous H2 Sn and H2 S in mouse brains and exploring their roles in activation of the TRPA1 channel under two types of brain disease models: ischemia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Based on DFT calculations and electrochemical measurements, two probes, 3,4-bis((2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoyl)oxy)-benzoic acid (MPS-1 ) and N-(4-(2,5-dinitrophenoxy) phenyl)-5-(1, 2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentanamide (MHS-1 ), were synthesized for specific recognition of H2 Sn and H2 S. Through co-assembly of the two probes at the mesoporous gold film with good anti-biofouling ability and electrocatalytic activity, this microsensor showed high selectivity for H2 Sn and H2 S against potential biological interferences. The biosensor can simultaneously determine the concentration of H2 Sn from 0.2 to 50 μm, as well as that of H2 S from 0.2 to 40 μm. The expression of TRPA1 protein positively correlated with levels of H2 Sn under both ischemia and AD.

Abstract
A silver nanocluster-based ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor was developed for the determination of ATP in the cerebrospinal fluid of a mouse brain. Using this useful tool with good stability and high selectivity as well as a wide linear detection range, it was found that the ATP concentration in a mouse brain with Alzheimer's disease was 2300-fold higher than that in a normal one.
