Hu G, Xu HD, Fang J. Sulfur-based fluorescent probes for biological analysis: A review. Talanta 2024; 279:126515. [PMID: 39024854 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
The widespread adoption of small-molecule fluorescence detection methodologies in scientific research and industrial contexts can be ascribed to their inherent merits, including elevated sensitivity, exceptional selectivity, real-time detection capabilities, and non-destructive characteristics. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on small-molecule fluorescent probes engineered with sulfur elements, aiming to detect a diverse array of biologically active species. This review presents a comprehensive survey of sulfur-based fluorescent probes published from 2017 to 2023. The diverse repertoire of recognition sites, including but not limited to N, N-dimethylthiocarbamyl, disulfides, thioether, sulfonyls and sulfoxides, thiourea, thioester, thioacetal and thioketal, sulfhydryl, phenothiazine, thioamide, and others, inherent in these sulfur-based probes markedly amplifies their capacity for detecting a broad spectrum of analytes, such as metal ions, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, reactive nitrogen species, proteins, and beyond. Owing to the individual disparities in the molecular structures of the probes, analogous recognition units may be employed to discern diverse substrates. Subsequent to this classification, the review provides a concise summary and introduction to the design and biological applications of these probe molecules. Lastly, drawing upon a synthesis of published works, the review engages in a discussion regarding the merits and drawbacks of these fluorescent probes, offering guidance for future endeavors.

Abstract
ConspectusHepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is an inevitable complication of clinical surgeries such as liver resection or transplantation, often resulting in postoperative liver dysfunction, hepatic failure in up to 13% of postresection patients, and early graft failure in 11-18% of liver transplantation patients. HIRI involves a series of biochemical events triggered by abnormal alterations in multiple biomarkers, characterized by short lifespans, dynamic changes, subcellular regional distribution, and multicollaborative regulation. However, traditional diagnosis, including serology, imaging, and liver puncture biopsy, suffers from low sensitivity, poor resolution, and hysteresis, which hinder effective monitoring of HIRI markers. Thus, to address the unique properties of HIRI markers, there is a pressing demand for developing novel detection strategies that are highly selective, transiently responsive, dynamically reversible, subcellular organelle-targeted, and capable of simultaneous multicomponent analysis.Optical probe-based fluorescence imaging is a powerful tool for real-time monitoring of biomarkers with the advantages of high sensitivity, noninvasiveness, rapid analysis, and high-fidelity acquisition of spatiotemporal information on signaling molecules compared with conventional methods. Moreover, with the growing demand for continuous monitoring of biomarkers, probes with reversible detection features are receiving more and more attention. Importantly, reversible probes can not only monitor fluctuations in marker concentrations but also distinguish between transient bursts of markers during physiological events and long-term sustained increases in pathological marker levels. This can effectively avoid false-positive test results, and in addition, reversible probes can be reutilized with green and economical features. Therefore, our team has employed various effective methods to design reversible optical probes for HIRI. We proposed reversible recognition strategies based on specific reactions or interactions to detect dynamic changes in markers. Given the biomarkers' unique signaling in subcellular organelles and the synergistic regulatory properties of multiple markers for HIRI, bifunctional reversible detection strategies are exploited, including organelle-targeted reversible and multicomponent simultaneous detection. With these strategies, we have tailored a variety of high-fidelity fluorescent probes for a series of HIRI markers, including reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (O2•- and ONOO-), ATP, protein (Keap1), mitochondrial DNA, etc. Utilizing the probes, the in situ dynamic imaging detection of the HIRI markers was successfully achieved. While performing the precise examination of the earlier occurrence of HIRI disease and visualizing the real-time monitoring of the disease process, we have also further elucidated the HIRI-associated signaling pathways. It is envisioned that our summarized work will inspire the design of future reversible fluorescent probes and help to improve the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic efficiency of these diseases.

Abstract
Superoxide is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) with complex roles in biological systems. It can contribute to the development of serious diseases, from aging to cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. However, it can also serve as a signaling molecule for important life processes. Monitoring superoxide levels and identifying proteins regulated by superoxide are crucial to enhancing our understanding of this growing field of redox biology and signaling. Given the high reactivity and very short lifetime of superoxide compared to other ROS in biological systems, proteins redox-modified by superoxide should be in close proximity to where superoxide is generated endogenously, i.e. superoxide hotspots. This inspires us to develop superoxide-specific quinone methide-based precursors, QMP-SOs, for proximity labeling of proteins within/near superoxide hotspots to image superoxide and profile proteins associated with superoxide biology by chemoproteomics. QMP-SOs specifically react with superoxide to generate an electrophilic quinone methide intermediate, which subsequently reacts with nucleophilic amino acids to induce a covalent tag on proteins, as revealed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and shotgun MS experiments. The alkyne handle on the covalent tag enables installation of fluorophores onto the tagged proteins for fluorescence imaging of superoxide in cells under oxidative stress. By establishing a chemoproteomics platform, QMP-SO-TMT, we identify DJ-1 and DLDH as proteins associated with superoxide biology in liver cancer cells treated with menadione. This work should provide insights into the crosstalk between essential cellular events and superoxide redox biology, as well as the design principles of quinone methide-based probes to study redox biology through proximity labeling and chemoproteomics.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for cellular signaling. Various pathophysiological conditions are also associated with elevated levels of ROS. Hence, ROS-sensitive triggers have been extensively used for selective payload delivery. Such applications are predicated on two key functions: (1) a sufficient magnitude of concentration difference for the interested ROS between normal tissue/cells and intended sites and (2) appropriate reaction kinetics to ensure a sufficient level of selectivity for payload release. Further, ROS refers to a group of species with varying reactivity, which should not be viewed as a uniform group. In this review, we critically analyze data on the concentrations of different ROS species under various pathophysiological conditions and examine how reaction kinetics affect the success of ROS-sensitive linker chemistry. Further, we discuss different ROS linker chemistry in the context of their applications in drug delivery and imaging. This review brings new insights into research in ROS-triggered delivery, highlights factors to consider in maximizing the chance for success and discusses pitfalls to avoid.

Abstract
Ferroptosis modulation is a powerful therapeutic option for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with a low 5-year survival rate and lack of effective treatment methods. However, due to the dual role of ferroptosis in promoting and inhibiting pancreatic tumorigenesis, regulating the degree of ferroptosis is very important to obtain the best therapeutic effect of PDAC. Biothiols are suitable as biomarkers of imaging ferroptosis due to the dramatic decreases of biothiol levels in ferroptosis caused by the inhibited synthesis pathway of glutathione (GSH) and the depletion of biothiol by reactive oxygen species. Moreover, a very recent study reported that cysteine (Cys) depletion can lead to pancreatic tumor ferroptosis in mice and may be employed as an effective therapeutic strategy for PDAC. Therefore, visualization of biothiols in ferroptosis of PDAC will be helpful for regulating the degree of ferroptosis, understanding the mechanism of Cys depletion-induced pancreatic tumor ferroptosis, and further promoting the study and treatment of PDAC. Herein, two biothiol-activable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent/photoacoustic bimodal imaging probes (HYD-BX and HYD-DX) for imaging of pancreatic tumor ferroptosis were reported. These two probes show excellent bimodal response performances for biothiols in solution, cells, and tumors. Subsequently, they have been employed successfully for real-time visualization of changes in concentration levels of biothiols during the ferroptosis process in PDAC cells and HepG2 cells. Most importantly, they have been further applied for bimodal imaging of ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer in mice, with satisfactory results. The development of these two probes provides new tools for monitoring changes in concentration levels of biothiols in ferroptosis and will have a positive impact on understanding the mechanism of Cys depletion-induced pancreatic tumor ferroptosis and further promoting the study and treatment of PDAC.

Abstract
Superoxide anion (O2·-) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-), two important oxidants under oxidative stress, coexist in complex cell and organism systems, playing crucial roles in various physiological and pathological processes, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. Despite the absence of robust molecular tools capable of simultaneously visualizing O2·- and ONOO- in biosystems, the relationship between these two species remains understudied. Herein, we present sequentially activated fluorescent probe, DHX-SP, which exhibits exceptional selectivity and sensitivity toward O2·- and ONOO-. This probe enables precise imaging of these species in living PC12 cells under oxidative stress conditions using distinct fluorescence signal combinations. Furthermore, the probe DHX-SP has the ability to visualize changes in O2·- and ONOO- levels during ferroptosis of PC12 cells and in the Parkinson's disease model. These findings establish a connection between the crosstalk of the phosphorus group of O2·- and ONOO- in PC12 cells under oxidative stress.

Abstract
Superoxide anion (O2•-), a significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) within biological systems, plays a widespread role in cellular function regulation and is closely linked to the onset and progression of numerous diseases. To unveil the pathological implications of O2•- in these diseases, the development of effective monitoring techniques within biological systems is imperative. Small molecule fluorescent probes have garnered considerable attention due to their advantages: simplicity in operation, heightened sensitivity, exceptional selectivity, and direct applicability in monitoring living cells, tissues, and animals. In the past few years, few reports have focused on small molecule fluorescence probes for the detection of O2•-. In this small review, we systematically summarize the design and application of O2•- responsive small molecule fluorescent probes. In addition, we present the limitations of the current detection of O2•- and suggest the construction of new fluorescent imaging probes to indicate O2•- in living cells and in vivo.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) is highly prevalent in the modern technological world. Emerging evidence shows that sleep deprivation is associated with oxidative stress. At the organelle level, the Golgi apparatus actively participates in the stress response. In this study, to determine whether SD and Golgi apparatus stress are correlated, we rationally designed and fabricated a novel Golgi apparatus-targeted ratiometric nanoprobe called Golgi dots for O2·- detection. This probe exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity in cells and brain slices of sleep-deprived mice. Golgi dots can be readily synthesized by coprecipitation of Golgi-F127, an amphiphilic polymer F127 modified with a Golgi apparatus targeting moiety, caffeic acid (CA), the responsive unit for O2·-, and red emissive carbon nanodots (CDs), which act as the reference signal. The fluorescence emission spectrum of the developed nanoprobe showed an intense peak at 674 nm, accompanied by a shoulder peak at 485 nm. As O2·- was gradually added, the fluorescence at 485 nm continuously increased; in contrast, the emission intensity at 674 nm assigned to the CDs remained constant, resulting in the ratiometric sensing of O2·-. The present ratiometric nanoprobe showed high selectivity for O2·- monitoring due to the specific recognition of O2·- by CA. Moreover, the Golgi dots exhibited good linearity with respect to the O2·- concentration within 5 to 40 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was ~ 0.13 μM. Additionally, the Golgi dots showed low cytotoxicity and an ability to target the Golgi apparatus. Inspired by these excellent properties, we then applied the Golgi dots to successfully monitor exogenous and endogenous O2·- levels within the Golgi apparatus. Importantly, with the help of Golgi dots, we determined that SD substantially elevated O2·- levels in the brain.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133653. [PMID: 38301443 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Cadmium-contaminated water and food are seriously hazardous to the human health, especially liver injury. To understand the entanglement relationship between cadmium ion (Cd2+)-induced liver injury and the biomarker sulfur dioxide (SO2), a reliable bioanalytical tool is urgently needed, detecting SO2 to diagnose and evaluate the extent of liver injury in vivo. Herein, based on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, a novel SO2-tunable NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe (SMP) was developed, it was used to diagnose and treat liver injury induced by Cd2+ in biosystems. Specifically, it was constructed by conjugating a NIR dicyanoisophorone with a NIR benzopyranate as the donor and acceptor, respectively, and the ratiometric response of SO2- regulated by the Michael addition reaction. In addition, SMP exhibits rapid reaction time (<15 s), two well-resolved emission peaks (68 nm) with less cross-talk between channels for high imaging resolution, superior selectivity, and low limit of detection (LOD=80.3 nM) for SO2 detection. Impressively, SMP has been successfully used for intracellular ratiometric imaging of Cd2+-induced SO2 and diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation in liver injury mice models with satisfactory results. Therefore, SMP may provide a powerful molecular tool for revealing the occurrence and development relationship between SO2 and Cd2+-induced liver injury. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Cadmium ions are one of the well-known toxic environmental pollutants, which are enriched in the human body through inhalation of cadmium-contaminated air or from the food chain, leading to damage in various organs, especially liver injury. Therefore, we developed a novel fluorescent probe that can specifically detect SO2 in Cd2+-induced liver injury, which is critically important for the diagnosis and evaluation of Cd2+-induced liver injury diseases. The specific detection of SO2 of this probe has been successfully demonstrated in live HepG2 cells and Cd2+-induced liver injury mice.

Abstract
Accurate and convenient monitoring of pH under extreme alkaline conditions is still a challenge. In this work, 4-(3-(7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)benzamide (HCB), a coumarin derivative, was grafted onto dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) to obtain a sensor DAC-HCB, which exhibited a ratiometric fluorescent response to the pH of alkaline solutions, resulting in a significant fluorescent color change from yellow to blue (FI459 nm/FI577 nm) at pH 7.5-14. The structure of DAC-HCB was characterized through FT-IR, XRD, XPS, SEM. The pKa of sensor DAC-HCB was 13.16, and the fluorescent intensity ratio FI459 nm/FI577 nm possessed an excellent linear characteristic with pH in the scope of 9.0-13.0. Meanwhile, sensor DAC-HCB showed good selectivity, anti-interference, and fast response time to basic pH, which is an effective fluorescent sensor for examination of pH in alkali circumstance. The recognition mechanism of DAC-HCB to OH- was elucidated with HRMS and density-functional theory (DFT) computational analyses. Sensor DAC-HCB was successfully used for precise detection of environmental water samples pH. This work furnished a new protocol for test strips as a convenient and highly efficient pH detection tool for the high pH environment, and it has great potential for application in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to oxidative stress and oxidative damage, which is one of the important factors for aging and age-related diseases. Therefore, real-time monitoring and the moderate elimination of ROS is extremely important. In this study, a ROS-responsive circular dichroic (CD) at 553 nm and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dual-signals chiral manganese oxide (MnO2 ) nanoparticles (NPs) are designed and synthesized. Both the CD and MRI signals show excellent linear ranges for intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) concentrations, with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.0027 nmol/106 cells and 0.016 nmol/106 cells, respectively. The lower LOD achieved with CD detection may be attributable to its higher anti-interference capability from the intracellular matrix. Importantly, ROS-induced cell aging is intervened by chiral MnO2 NPs via redox reactions with excessive intracellular ROS. In vivo experiments confirm that chiral MnO2 NPs effectively eliminate ROS in skin tissue, reduce oxidative stress levels, and alleviate skin aging. This approach provides a new strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of age-related diseases.

Abstract
Superoxide anion (O2•-), the first generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a critical player in cellular signaling network and redox homeostasis. Imaging of O2•-, particularly in vivo, is of concern for further understanding its roles in pathophysiological and pharmacological events. Herein, we designed a novel probe, (E)-4-(5-(2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-cyanovinyl)furan-2-yl)phenyl trifluoromethane-sulfonate (BFTF), by modifying hydroxyphenyl benzothiazole (a widely used dye scaffold) which includes insertion of both an acrylonitrile unit and a furan ring to extend the total π-conjugation system and to enhance push-pull intramolecular charge transfer process, and utilization of trifluoromethanesulfonate as the response unit. Toward O2•-, the probe features near-infrared fluorescent emission (685 nm), large Stokes shift (135 nm), and deep tissue penetration (300 μm). With its help, we successfully mapped preferential generation of O2•- in HepG2 cells over L02 cells, as well as in A549 over BEAS-2B cells by β-lapachone (an anticancer agent that generates O2•-), and more importantly, visualized overproduction of O2•- in living mice with liver injury induced by acetaminophen (a well-known analgesic and antipyretic drug).

Abstract
Intracellular lipid systems play essential roles in various physiological functions and cell growth processes. However, our understanding of the intricate interactions within this system, especially between mitochondria and lipid droplets, is limited, particularly in the context of cancer cells' altered lipid metabolism. To address this, our study introduces an N-B-O BODIPY-hexylcarbazole derivative, named Cz-Boranil, that sets a new benchmark in visualizing these critical interactions. Cz-Boranil's unique capability lies in its ability to display distinct intracellular distribution patterns in both normal and cancer cells, offering nuanced cell type-specific differentiation. More impressively, this probe tracks the coordinated interactions of lipid droplets and mitochondria during the critical processes of ferroptosis and apoptosis. We believe that the innovative capabilities of Cz-Boranil will revolutionize our understanding of intracellular lipid interactions and prove pivotal in identifying and studying cancerous cells.

Abstract
Diabetes and its complications, such as diabetes liver disease, is a major problem puzzling people's health. The detection of redox states in its pathological process can effectively help us gain a deeper understanding of the disease. The pair of oxidation-reduction substances peroxynitrite (ONOO- ) and glutathione (GSH) is considered to be closely related to their occurrence and development. Thus, direct visualization of ONOO- and GSH in diabetes liver disease is critical to evaluate the disease at the molecular level. Herein, two activatable agents NTCF-ONOO- and NTCF-GSH are prepared for selectively detecting ONOO- and GSH through protection and deprotection strategies based on hydroxyl and amino groups of near-infrared fluorophore. Fluorescence imaging of exogenous and endogenous ONOO- and GSH changes in living cells and in vivo is observed. The ONOO- and GSH level in the diabetes liver disease cellular model are visualized and the possible redox imbalance mechanism related to the oxidized (NAD+ ) and reduced (NADH) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides is explored in this process. Moreover, these probes can sensitively recognize ONOO- and GSH in the process of oxidative stress resulting from streptozotocin and streptozotocin/acetaminophen-induced complex diabetic liver disease in vivo. In addition, they can be applied for monitoring the clinical serum sample related with diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The escalation of cancer worldwide is one of the major causes of economy burden and loss of human resources. According to the American Cancer Society, there will be 1,958,310 new cancer cases and 609,820 projected cancer deaths in 2023 in the United States. It is projected that by 2040, the burden of global cancer is expected to rise to 29.5 million per year, causing a death toll of 16.4 million. The hemostasis regulation by cellular protein synthesis and their targeted degradation is required for normal cell growth. The imbalance in hemostasis causes unbridled growth in cells and results in cancer. The DNA of cells needs to be targeted by chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment, but at the same time, their efficacy and toxicity also need to be considered for successful treatment. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to review the published work on pyrrole and pyridine, which have been prominent in the diagnosis and possess anticancer activity, to obtain some novel lead molecules of improved cancer therapeutic. METHODS A literature search was carried out using different search engines, like Sci-finder, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, RSC etc., for small molecules based on pyrrole and pyridine helpful in diagnosis and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. The research findings on the application of these compounds from 2018-2023 were reviewed on a variety of cell lines, such as breast cancer, liver cancer, epithelial cancer, etc. Results: In this review, the published small molecules, pyrrole and pyridine and their derivatives, which have roles in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, were discussed to provide some insight into the structural features responsible for diagnosis and treatment. The analogues with the chromeno-furo-pyridine skeleton showed the highest anticancer activity against breast cancer. The compound 5-amino-N-(1-(pyridin-4- yl)ethylidene)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbohydrazides was highly potent against HEPG2 cancer cell. Redaporfin is used for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma, biliary tract cancer, cisplatin-resistant head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and pigmentation melanoma, and it is in clinical trials for phase II. These structural features present a high potential for designing novel anticancer agents for diagnosis and drug development. CONCLUSION Therefore, the N- and C-substituted pyrrole and pyridine-based novel privileged small Nheterocyclic scaffolds are potential molecules used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This review discusses the reports on the synthesis of such molecules during 2018-2023. The review mainly discusses various diagnostic techniques for cancer, which employ pyrrole and pyridine heterocyclic scaffolds. Furthermore, the anticancer activity of N- and C-substituted pyrrole and pyridine-based scaffolds has been described, which works against different cancer cell lines, such as MCF-7, A549, A2780, HepG2, MDA-MB-231, K562, HT- 29, Caco-2 cells, Hela, Huh-7, WSU-DLCL2, HCT-116, HBL-100, H23, HCC827, SKOV3, etc. This review will help the researchers to obtain a critical insight into the structural aspects of pyrrole and pyridine-based scaffolds useful in cancer diagnosis as well as treatment and design pathways to develop novel drugs in the future.

Abstract
Natural antioxidants have recently emerged as a highly exciting and significant topic in anti-aging research. Diverse organism models present a viable protocol for future research. Notably, many breakthroughs on natural antioxidants have been achieved in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, an animal model frequently utilized for the study of aging research and anti-aging drugs in vivo. Due to the conservation of signaling pathways on oxidative stress resistance, lifespan regulation, and aging disease between C. elegans and multiple high-level organisms (humans), as well as the low and controllable cost of time and labor, it gradually develops into a trustworthy in vivo model for high-throughput screening and validation of natural antioxidants with anti-aging actions. First, information and models on free radicals and aging are presented in this review. We also describe indexes, detection methods, and molecular mechanisms for studying the in vivo antioxidant and anti-aging effects of natural antioxidants using C. elegans. It includes lifespan, physiological aging processes, oxidative stress levels, antioxidant enzyme activation, and anti-aging pathways. Furthermore, oxidative stress and healthspan improvement induced by natural antioxidants in humans and C. elegans are compared, to understand the potential and limitations of the screening model in preclinical studies. Finally, we emphasize that C. elegans is a useful model for exploring more natural antioxidant resources and uncovering the mechanisms underlying aging-related risk factors and diseases.

Abstract
In brains, the serotonergic neurons are the unique resource of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which plays a pivotal role in the physiology of the brain. The dysfunction of serotonergic neurons caused by oxidative stress in the brain is closely related to the occurrence and development of various mental diseases, such as depression. As the biomarker of oxidative stress, the superoxide anion radical (O2•-) can cause oxidative damage to proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, disturbing the function of neurons and brains. A serotonin transporter (SERT) specifically expresses in serotonergic neurons, which is the biomarker of serotonergic neurons. Thus, we created two novel small molecular fluorescent probes (PA-CA and HT-CA) for imaging O2•- in serotonergic neurons of living brains of mice based on specific targeting groups of SERT. Both PA-CA and HT-CA exert excellent SERT-targetable and glorious selectivity for O2•-. Those two probes could monitor the boost of O2•- in living hsert-HEK293 cells that specifically express SERT under oxidative stress. With two-photon fluorescence imaging, we revealed for the first time that O2•- is significantly increased in serotonergic neurons in living brains of mice with depression. More importantly, proteomic analyses suggested that O2•- could oxidize cysteine and histidine in the active site of SERT, which is involved in the development of depression. This work provides new materials for living brain imaging and offers new strategy for unraveling the pathophysiology of depression.

Abstract
The superoxide anion (O2•-) is one of the primary reactive oxygen species in biological systems. Developing a determination system for O2•- in vivo has attracted much attention thanks to its complex biological function. Herein, we proposed a new perylene-based chemiluminescence (CL) probe, the SH-PDI polymer, which was capable of generating strong CL signals with O2•- in comparison with other ROS. The CL mechanism involved was proposed to be a kind of oxidation reaction induced by the breakage of the S-S and S-H bonds into sulfoxide bonds by O2•-. Subsequently, a nanoprecipitation method was introduced, using cumene-terminated poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) as the amphiphilic agent, to obtain water-soluble nanoparticles, SPPS NPs, which exhibited not only stronger CL intensity but also higher selectivity toward O2•- than the SH-PDI polymer. Moreover, the CL wavelength of the SPPS-O2•- system was found to be located at 580 and 710 nm, which was conducive to CL imaging. By virtue of these advantages, SPPS NPs were utilized to evaluate the O2•- level in vitro in the range of 0.25-60 μM at pH 7.0, with a detection limit of 8.2 × 10-8 M (S/N = 3). Moreover, SPPS NPs were also capable of imaging O2•- in an LPS-induced acute inflammation mice model and drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI).

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are characterized by drug-resistant bacterial infections, biofilm formation, impaired angiogenesis and perfusion, and oxidative damage to the microenvironment. Given their complex nature, diabetic wounds remain a major challenge in clinical practice. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been shown to trigger hyperinflammation and excessive cellular apoptosis, play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetic wounds. ROS-scavenging nanosystems have recently emerged as smart and multifunctional nanomedicines with broad synergistic applicability. The documented anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic ability of ROS-scavenging treatments predestines these nanosystems as promising options for the treatment of diabetic wounds. Yet, in this context, the therapeutic applicability and efficacy of ROS-scavenging nanosystems remain to be elucidated. Herein, the role of ROS in diabetic wounds is deciphered, and the properties and strengths of nanosystems with ROS-scavenging capacity for the treatment of diabetic wounds are summarized. In addition, the current challenges of such nanosystems and their potential future directions are discussed through a clinical-translational lens.

Abstract
Biomolecular operations, which involve the conversion of molecular signals or interactions into specific functional outputs, are fundamental to the field of biology and serve as the important foundation for the design of diagnostic and therapeutic systems. To maximize their functionalities and broaden their applicability, it is crucial to develop novel outputs and facile chemical transformation methods. With this aim, in this study, we present a straightforward method for converting nucleic acid signals into fluorescein outputs that exhibit a wide range of functionalities. This operation is designed through a DNA-templated reaction based on riboflavin-photocatalyzed oxidation of dihydrofluorescein, which is readily prepared by simple NaBH4 reduction of the fluorescein with no complicated chemical caging steps. The templated photooxidation exhibits high efficiency (kapp = 2.7 × 10-3/s), generating a clear fluorescein output signal distinguishable from a low background, originating from the high stability of the synthesized dihydrofluorescein. This facile and efficient operation allows the nucleic acid-initiated activation of various fluorescein functions, such as fluorescence and artificial oxidase activity, which are applied in the design of novel bioanalytical systems, including fluorescent and colorimetric DNA sensors. The operation presented herein would expand the scope of biomolecular circuit systems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Various bioactive substances are simultaneously involved in physiological processes, and research on the synergistic effect of them can promote the study of pathological mechanisms. To achieve this purpose, several small-molecule double-locked logic gate fluorescence probes have been developed recently. They overcome many shortcomings of the traditional "single-signal" fluorescent probes, with fluorescence that can be activated by two analytes of interest order-independently or order-dependently with one output. In this review, we summarize recently published small-molecule double-locked logic gate probes for the optical detection of two bioactive substances in living systems. We envision that this review will attract significant attention from researchers to exploit more powerful functional double-locked logic gate probes.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is mainly responsible for morbidity or death due to graft rejection after liver transplantation. During HIRI, superoxide anion (O2•-) and adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) have been identified as pivotal biomarkers associated with oxidative stress and energy metabolism, respectively. However, how the temporal and spatial fluctuations of O2•- and ATP coordinate changes in HIRI and particularly how they synergistically regulate each other in the pathological mechanism of HIRI remains unclear. Herein, we rationally designed and successfully synthesized a dual-color and dual-reversible molecular fluorescent probe (UDP) for dynamic and simultaneous visualization of O2•- and ATP in real-time, and uncovered their interrelationship and synergy in HIRI. UDP featured excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and reversibility in response to O2•- and ATP, which rendered UDP suitable for detecting O2•- and ATP and generating independent responses in the blue and red fluorescence channels without spectral crosstalk. Notably, in situ imaging with UDP revealed for the first time synchronous O2•- bursts and ATP depletion in hepatocytes and mouse livers during the process of HIRI. Surprisingly, a slight increase in ATP was observed during reperfusion. More importantly, intracellular O2•-─succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)─mitochondrial (Mito) reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)─Mito ATP─intracellular ATP cascade signaling pathway in the HIRI process was unveiled which illustrated the correlation between O2•- and ATP for the first time. This research confirms the potential of UDP for the dynamic monitoring of HIRI and provides a clear illustration of HIRI pathogenesis.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a common mental disorder with unclear mechanisms. Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation play important roles in the pathological process of schizophrenia. Superoxide anion (O2•-) is an important oxidative stress biomarker in vivo. However, due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), few near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes have been used for the sensing and detection of O2•- in the brain. With this research, we developed the first near-infrared fluorescent probe (named CT-CF3) for noninvasive detection of endogenous O2•- in the brain of mice. Enabling fluorescence monitoring of the dynamic changes in O2•- flux due to the prolonged activation of microglia in neuroinflamed and schizophrenic (SZ) mice brains, thereby providing direct evidence for the relationship between oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and schizophrenia. Furthermore, we confirmed the O2•- burst in the brains of first-episode schizophrenic mice and assessed the effect of two atypical antipsychotic drugs (risperidone and olanzapine) on redox homeostasis.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI), following explosive oxidative stress, causes an abrupt and irreversible pathological deterioration of the central nervous system. Thus, preventing secondary injuries caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as monitoring and assessing the recovery from SCI are critical for the emergency treatment of SCI. Herein, an emergency treatment strategy is developed for SCI based on the selenium (Se) matrix antioxidant system to effectively inhibit oxidative stress-induced damage and simultaneously real-time evaluate the severity of SCI using a reversible dual-photoacoustic signal (680 and 750 nm). Within the emergency treatment and photoacoustic severity assessment (ETPSA) strategy, the designed Se loaded boron dipyrromethene dye with a double hydroxyl group (Se@BDP-DOH) is simultaneously used as a sensitive reporter group and an excellent antioxidant for effectively eliminating explosive oxidative stress. Se@BDP-DOH is found to promote the recovery of both spinal cord tissue and locomotor function in mice with SCI. Furthermore, ETPSA strategy synergistically enhanced ROS consumption via the caveolin 1 (Cav 1)-related pathways, as confirmed upon treatment with Cav 1 siRNA. Therefore, the ETPSA strategy is a potential tool for improving emergency treatment and photoacoustic assessment of SCI.

Abstract
Numerous chemical probes have been used to measure or image oxidative, nitrosative and related stress induced by free radicals in biology and biochemistry. In many instances, the chemical pathways involved are reasonably well understood. However, the rate constants for key reactions involved are often not yet characterized, and thus it is difficult to ensure the measurements reflect the flux of oxidant/radical species and are not influenced by competing factors. Key questions frequently unanswered are whether the reagents are used under 'saturating' conditions, how specific probes are for particular radicals or oxidants and the extent of the involvement of competing reactions (e.g., with thiols, ascorbate and other antioxidants). The commonest-used probe for 'reactive oxygen species' in biology actually generates superoxide radicals in producing the measured product in aerobic systems. This review emphasizes the need to understand reaction pathways and in particular to quantify the kinetic parameters of key reactions, as well as measure the intracellular levels and localization of probes, if such reagents are to be used with confidence.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is closely related to the physiopathology of numerous diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) are direct participants and important biomarkers of oxidative stress. A comprehensive understanding of their changes can help us evaluate disease pathogenesis and progression and facilitate early diagnosis and drug development. In recent years, fluorescent probes have been developed for real-time monitoring of ROS, RNS and RSS levels in vitro and in vivo. In this review, conventional design strategies of fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection are discussed from three aspects: fluorophores, linkers, and recognition groups. We introduce representative fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection in cells, physiological/pathological processes (e.g., Inflammation, Drug Induced Organ Injury and Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury etc.), and specific diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, depression, diabetes and cancer, etc.). We then highlight the achievements, current challenges, and prospects for fluorescent probes in the pathophysiology of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Superoxide (O2·-) is the primary reactive oxygen species in mammal cells. Detecting superoxide is crucial for understanding redox signaling but remains challenging. Herein, we introduce a class of activity-based sensing probes. The probes utilize 1,2,4,5-tetrazine as a superoxide-responsive trigger, which can be modularly tethered to various fluorophores to tune probe sensitivity and emission color. These probes afford ultra-specific and ultra-fluorogenic responses towards superoxide, and enable multiplexed imaging of various cellular superoxide levels in an organelle-resolved way. Notably, the probes reveal the aberrant superoxide generation in the pathology of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and facilitate the establishment of a high-content screening pipeline for mediators of superoxide homeostasis. One such identified mediator, coprostanone, is shown to effectively ameliorating oxidative stress-induced injury in mice with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Collectively, these results showcase the potential of 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-tethered probes as versatile tools to monitor superoxide in a range of pathophysiological settings.

Abstract
Drug-induced acute kidney injury (DIAKI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. It remains a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma due to failure of providing unambiguous real-time feedback on nephrotoxicity, which is regarded as a serious problem in clinics. Herein, we report a reversible fluorescence probe, NRN, to monitor the ONOO-/GSH in an acute kidney injury model. The NRN near-infrared fluorescent probe features a big Stokes shift (83 nm), which was oxidized by ONOO- and reduced by succussive glutathione (GSH) with excellent selectivity and good sensitivity (detection limit: 418 nM and 0.28 mM, respectively). Taking the reversibility of NRN toward ONOO- and GSH, real-time evaluations in vivo with cisplatin (CP) alone and CP combined with acetaminophen-stimulated acute kidney injury and the following remedy process with l-carnitine were realized for the first time. The experiments revealed that acute kidney injury caused by combined drugs might be more serious and irreversible under certain conditions. Therefore, NRN could act as a potential tool for understanding oxidative stress-related DIAKI disease processes.

Abstract
High levels of steady-state mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glycolysis are hallmarks of cancer. An improved understanding of interactions between tumor energetics and mitochondrial ROS modulation is useful for the development of new anticancer strategies. Here, we show that the natural product chlorogenic acid (CGA) specifically scavenged abnormally elevated mitochondrial O2•- and exhibited a two-photon fluorescence turn-on response to tumor cells under hypoxia and tumor tissues in vivo. Furthermore, we illustrated that CGA treatment reduced O2•- levels in cells, hampered activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and shifted metabolism from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), resulting in inhibition of tumor growth under hypoxia. This study demonstrates an efficient two-photon fluorescent tool for real-time assessment of mitochondrial O2•- and a clear link between reducing intracellular ROS levels by CGA treatments and regulating metabolism, as well as undeniably helpful insights for the development of new anticancer strategies.

Abstract
Exploring the etiology of liver injury is critical to fundamental science and precise treatment, which has not yet been achieved by molecule imaging techniques. Herein, we manage to conquer this challenge by spatiotemporally monitoring oxidative stress processes using the proposed unit-emitting carbon dots (UE-C-dots) as fluorescent probes. We discover and reveal that the UE-C-dots can specifically determine hypochlorous acid (HClO) molecules, one of the important reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in liver injury, by an excited state oxidation mechanism. Other ROS/RNS do not interfere with the assay even if their concentrations are 1000 times higher than that of HClO due to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level mismatch. Real-time tomographic imaging demonstrates that different stimuli cause distinctly different HClO bursts in both temporal and spatial dimensionalities. Therefore, the measurement and analysis of temporal information substantially extend our understanding on the relationships of hepatic oxidative stress and corresponding physiological/pathological behaviors.

Abstract
Selective fluorescence imaging of analytes is a challenge for monitoring diseases as homologues interfere with the imaging agents. Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), a kind of protease, is related to tumor pathogenesis. The known LAP fluorescent probes based on leucine recognition have limited selectivity. Herein, a selective t-butyl-alanine recognition unit for LAP through the ligand regulation strategy is prepared as a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DCM-LAP) having a large Stokes shift of 214 nm and a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 168 mU/L. DCM-LAP has an enhanced response toward LAP with NIR fluorescence at 656 nm based on intramolecular charge transfer. The probe is selective without being interfered with by biological enzymes including the aminopeptidase N (APN). DCM-LAP can image LAP activity in living cells. It can also visualize the cell invasion and migration processes. DCM-LAP is employed in the real-time imaging of LAP in tumor-bearing nude mice and guides in the accurate resection of breast tumors. It also distinguishes tumor tissues from normal with a high tumor-to-normal ratio (9.8). The DCM-LAP probe can thus assist in the investigations of LAP-associated clinical disease.

Abstract
γ-Glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been recognized as an important clinical biomarker that is closely related to many diseases. Visualizing the GGT fluctuation facilitates early disease-related diagnosis and therapy. Herein, an activated probe (NIR-GGT) for the imaging of GGT activity was prepared. The probe consists of a stable NIR fluorophore with the tunable amino group decorated with the γ-glutamate group as a GGT-sensing unit linked by a self-elimination group. NIR-GGT can sensitively recognize GGT and cause a strong turn-on fluorescent and photoacoustic signal. The up-regulation of the GGT expression in acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury was imaged using NIR-GGT. The probe can track changes in the GGT level in the early stages of drug-induced acute liver injury (DIALI) and its remedy process by fluorescent and photoacoustic dual-modality imaging with a high temporal-spatial resolution. NIR-GGT can also be used to differentiate between tumor and para-carcinowa tissues in vivo.

Abstract
Uncovering the intrinsic interaction of different bioactive species, i.e., reactive oxygen species (ROS) and telomerase, is of great importance because they play interrelated and interdependent biological roles in living organisms. Nevertheless, exploration of the intracellular ROS/telomerase cross-talk by effective and noninvasive methods remains a great challenge, as it is difficult to simultaneously detect different types of biomolecules (i.e., active small molecules and proteins) in living cells. To address this issue, herein, we report, for the first time, a novel fluorescent nanoprobe for simultaneous determination and in situ imaging of telomerase activity and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in living cells. With the advantage of high sensitivity and good specificity, this newly fabricated nanoprobe was successfully applied to precisely visualize and monitor the changes in telomerase activity and H2O2 concentration in cancer cells. More significantly, by employing the nanoprobe as a one-step incubation tool, it is found that there is a cross-talk between H2O2 and telomerase activity in the drug-induced cancer cells' apoptosis process, which provides valuable information for gaining fundamental insights into the relationship between ROS and telomerase activity in cancer treatments. This work affords a promising method for revealing the relevant regulatory mechanisms and roles of ROS and telomerase activity in the occurrence, evolvement, and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Free radical generation plays a key role in viral infections. While free radicals have an antimicrobial effect on bacteria or fungi, their interplay with viruses is complicated and varies greatly for different types of viruses as well as different radical species. In some cases, radical generation contributes to the defense against the viruses and thus reduces the viral load. In other cases, radical generation induces mutations or damages the host tissue and can increase the viral load. This has led to antioxidants being used to treat viral infections. Here we discuss the roles that radicals play in virus pathology. Furthermore, we critically review methods that facilitate the detection of free radicals in vivo or in vitro in viral infections.

Abstract
Owing to its flexibility and high treatment efficiency, phototherapy is rapidly emerging for treating bacteria-induced diseases, but how to improve the sensitivity of bacteria to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and heat simultaneously to kill bacteria under mild conditions is still a challenge. Herein, we designed a NIR light catalyst (Bi2S3-S-nitrosothiol-acetylcholine (BSNA)) by transforming •O2- into peroxynitrite in situ, which can enhance the bacterial sensibility to ROS and heat and kill bacteria under a mild temperature. The transformed peroxynitrite in situ possessed a stronger ability to penetrate cell membranes and antioxidant capacity. The BSNA nanoparticles (NPs) inhibited the bacterial glucose metabolic process through down-regulated xerC/xerD expression and disrupted the HSP70/HSP90 secondary structure through nitrifying TYR179. Additionally, the synergistic effect of the designed BSNA and clinical antibiotics increased the antibacterial activity. In the case of tetracycline-class antibiotics, BSNA NPs induced phenolic hydroxyl group structure changes and inhibited the interaction between tetracycline and targeted t-RNA recombinant protein. Besides, BSNA stimulated production of more CD8+ T cells and reduced common complications in peritonitis, which provided immunotherapy activity. The targeted and anti-infective effect of BSNA suggested that we propose a nanotherapeutic strategy to achieve more efficient synergistic therapy under mild temperatures.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes and probes play an indispensable role in bioimaging. The mitochondrion is one of the crucial organelles which takes charge of energy production and is the primary site of aerobic respiration in the cell. To illuminate mitochondria, a series of supramolecular fluorescent imaging probes were developed based on the host-guest assembly of 1,4-bis[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]-benzene (BPEB) derivatives and cucurbituril[6] (CB[6]). These host-guest conjugates can be efficiently internalized into cells due to their water solubility and target mitochondria according to their positive charges. In response to the intracellular microenvironments, these conjugates start dynamic disassembly. The released BPEBs show a highly hydrophobic feature, which can crystallize to form fluorescent solids that illuminate the mitochondria. The intracellular disassembly of the host-guest probes was evidenced by fluorescence lifetime imaging in situ. These smart mitochondrion-targeting fluorescent imaging probes can be available to investigate the structures and functions of mitochondria, which are of great significance in the intracellular dynamic transformation of supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Dysregulated redox homeostasis under pathological conditions can eventually culminate in oxidative stress and associated disease damage. Spatial and temporal regulation of intracellular redox states involves two crucial parameters for elucidating oxidative stress-related molecular mechanisms. However, the lack of methods for real-time analysis of redox states is a considerable hurdle for the in-depth interpretation of pathogenic mechanisms. Herein, given the over-produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the translocation of redox-sensitive proteins as the potential biomarkers of oxidative stress, we developed a novel ROS-macromolecular protein synergistic imaging strategy that relied on a small-molecule fluorescent CPR-SK probe. The CPR-SK specifically activated the caffeic acid moieties or targeting peptides (EWWW) toward the biomarkers, including superoxide (O2•-) fluctuations and Keap1 translocation, achieving simultaneous real-time imaging of dual molecular events during oxidative stress. Importantly, in situ, CPR-SK exhibited both gentle elevation of O2•- and subsequent migration of Keap1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, which were key indicators for determining slight injuries induced by hepatic ischemia-reperfusion. The results clearly demonstrated that this spatiotemporal imaging method was a reliable tool for analyzing dynamic intracellular changes of the redox state and elucidating the molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Detecting the fluctuation and distribution of various bioactive species in biological systems is of great importance in determining diseases at their early stages. Metal complex-based probes have attracted considerable attention in bioimaging applications owing to their unique advantages, such as high luminescence, good photostability, large Stokes shifts, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility. In this review, we summarized the development of redox-active transition metal complex-based probes in recent five years with the metal ions of iron, manganese, and copper, which play essential roles in life and can avoid the introduction of exogenous metals into biological systems. The designing principles that afford these complexes with optical or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging properties are elucidated. The applications of the complexes for bioimaging applications of different bioactive species are demonstrated. The current challenges and potential future directions of these probes for applications in biological systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Precision medicine requires highly sensitive and specific diagnostic strategies with high spatiotemporal resolution. Accurate detection and monitoring of endogenously generated biomarkers at the very early disease stage is of extensive importance for precise diagnosis and treatment. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have emerged as a new type of excellent optical agents, which show great promise for numerous biomedical applications. In this review, we highlight the recent advances of AIE-based probes for detecting reactive species (including reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), reactive sulfur species (RSS), and reactive carbonyl species (RCS)) and related biomedical applications. The molecular design strategies for increasing the sensitivity, tuning the response wavelength, and realizing afterglow imaging are summarized, and theranostic applications in reactive species-related major diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and vascular diseases are reviewed. The challenges and outlooks for the reactive species-activatable AIE systems for disease diagnostics and therapeutics are also discussed. This review aims to offer guidance for designing AIE-based specifically activatable optical agents for biomedical applications, as well as providing a comprehensive understanding about the structure-property application relationships. We hope it will inspire more interesting researches about reactive species-activatable probes and advance clinical translations.
