Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:5205-5214. [PMID: 39078455 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05463-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024]
Abstract
Nanocatalytic medicine, which aims to accurately target and effectively treat tumors through intratumoral in situ catalytic reactions triggered by tumor-specific environments or markers, is an emerging technology. However, the relative lack of catalytic activity of nanoenzymes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) has hampered their use in biomedical applications. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a highly sensitive probe that specifically responds to the TME or disease markers in the TME for precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In this work, a chiral photoacoustic (PA) nanoprobe (D/L-Ce@MoO3) based on the H2O2-catalyzed TME activation reaction was constructed in a one-step method using D-cysteine (D-Cys) or L-cysteine (L-Cys), polymolybdate, and cerium nitrate as raw materials. The designed and synthesized D/L-Ce@MoO3 chiral nanoprobe can perform in situ, non-invasive, and precise imaging of pharmacological acute liver injury. In vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that the D/L-Ce@MoO3 probe had chiral properties, the CD signal decreased upon reaction with H2O2, and the absorption and PA signals increased with increasing H2O2 concentration. This is because of the catalytic reaction between Ce ions doped in the nanoenzyme and the high expression of H2O2 caused by drug-induced liver injury to produce ·OH, which has a strong oxidizing property to kill tumor cells and destroy the Mo-S bond in the probe, thus converting the chiral probe into an achiral polyoxometalate (POM) with PA signal.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer method due to its noninvasive features, high efficiency, and superior accuracy. The activated near-infrared upconversion photosensitizer has a high tissue penetration depth and could be explicitly released with minimal side effects. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a series of Br-substituted compounds (NFh-Br) based on the near-infrared upconversion hemicyanine dye. The heavy atomic effect improves the generation of 1O2 and upconversion luminous efficiency. Especially, NFh-Br11 exhibited an excellent 1O2 generation rate under 808 nm excitation and effectively killed tumor cells in vitro, and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-activatable photosensitizer (NFh-ALP) was obtained by modifying the NFh-Br11. NFh-ALP could be activated by ALP and release NFh-Br11, which induces apoptosis of tumor cells and has outstanding anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. This work could provide a strategy for designing activatable upconversion photosensitizers.

Abstract
The identification and detection of disease-related biomarkers is essential for early clinical diagnosis, evaluating disease progression, and for the development of therapeutics. Possessing the advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity, fluorescent probes have become effective tools for monitoring disease-related active molecules at the cellular level and in vivo. In this review, we describe current fluorescent probes designed for the detection and quantification of key bioactive molecules associated with common diseases, such as organ damage, inflammation, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and brain disorders. We emphasize the strategies behind the design of fluorescent probes capable of disease biomarker detection and diagnosis and cover some aspects of combined diagnostic/therapeutic strategies based on regulating disease-related molecules. This review concludes with a discussion of the challenges and outlook for fluorescent probes, highlighting future avenues of research that should enable these probes to achieve accurate detection and identification of disease-related biomarkers for biomedical research and clinical applications.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) tomography has shown many promising aspects in noninvasive and precise imaging of deep-localized biomarkers. However, these traditional single-locked PA probes always face challenges in precise PA imaging with high specificity. Here, we report a novel AND-gate photoacoustic probe, BAE, to improve tumor imaging accuracy via the combination of two tumor-associated biomarkers, cysteine (Cys) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Only when Cys and H2S are concurrently introduced into the detection system does the absorption of BAE red-shift from the initial 680 to 810 nm, thereby showing a 5.29-fold enhancement in its PA signal at 810 nm. The good specificity of BAE is proven, since an obvious PA signal could be observed only in the solution containing both Cys and H2S and was not affected by other reactive sulfur species. After being taken up by tumors with the assistance of a nanomicelle, the AND-gate PA probe BAE was applied for dynamic real-time monitoring of Cys and H2S in vivo, achieving precise identification of tumors. This AND-gate PA probe provides a potential technical tool for precise sensing analysis of deep-seated diseases.

Abstract
Sudden hemorrhage stemming from internal organ wounds poses a grave and potentially fatal risk if left untreated. Injectable-hydrogel-based tissue sealants featuring multiple actions, including fit-to-shape in situ gelation, rapid hemostasis, pro-angiogenic, anti-bacterial and outcome tracking, are ideal for the management of organ trauma wounds. Herein, an injectable-hydrogel tissue sealant AN@CD-PEG&TQ which consists of four-arm 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-SC) succinimidyl carbonate), AN@CD nanoprobe, and two bioactive peptides (anti-microbial peptide Tet213 and pro-angiogenic peptide QK) is developed. Among them, AN@CD nanoparticles form through host/guest complexation of amino-group-containing β-cyclodextrin and adamantyl group, enabling in situ biomarker (NO)-activatable optoacoustic/NIR-II: Near-infrared second biological window fluorescent imaging. The ample ─NH2 groups on the surface of AN@CD readily engage in rapid cross-linking with succinimidyl ester groups located at the ends of four-arm PEG-SC. This cross-linking expedites the gelation process without necessitating additional initiators or cross-linking agents; thus, significantly enhancing both hydrogel's application convenience and biocompatibility. Bioactive peptides (Tet213 and QK) safeguard against possible bacterial infections, facilitate angiogenesis, and eventually, improve organ wounds healing. This hydrogel-based tissue sealant demonstrates superior therapeutic and bioimaging performance in various mouse models including liver hemorrhage, gastric perforation, and bacterial-infected skin wound mouse models, highlighting its potential as a high-performance wound sealant for organ bleeding wound management.

Abstract
Activatable afterglow luminescence nanoprobes enabling switched "off-on" signals in response to biomarkers have recently emerged to achieve reduced unspecific signals and improved imaging fidelity. However, such nanoprobes always use a biomarker-interrupted energy transfer to obtain an activatable signal, which necessitates a strict distance requisition between a donor and an acceptor moiety (<10 nm) and hence induces low efficiency and non-feasibility. Herein, we report organic upconversion afterglow luminescence cocktail nanoparticles (ALCNs) that instead utilize acidity-manipulated singlet oxygen (1O2) transfer between a donor and an acceptor moiety with enlarged distance and thus possess more efficiency and flexibility to achieve an activatable afterglow signal. After in vitro validation of acidity-activated afterglow luminescence, ALCNs achieve in vivo imaging of 4T1-xenograft subcutaneous tumors in female mice and orthotopic liver tumors in male mice with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). As a representative targeting trial, Bio-ALCNs with biotin modification prove the enhanced targeting ability, sensitivity, and specificity for pulmonary metastasis and subcutaneous tumor imaging via systemic administration of nanoparticles in female mice, which also implies the potential broad utility of ALCNs for tumor imaging with diverse design flexibility. Therefore, this study provides an innovative and general approach for activatable afterglow imaging with better imaging performance than fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) chromophores with analyte tunable emission and absorption properties are highly desirable for developing activatable fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) probes for bioimaging and disease diagnosis. Here we engineer a class of new chromophores by extending the π-conjugation system of a xanthene scaffold at position 7 with different electron withdrawing groups. It is demonstrated that these chromophores exhibit pH-dependent transition from a spirocyclic "closed" form to a xanthene "open" form with remarkable changes in spectral properties. We further develop fluorescence and PA probes by caging the NIR xanthene chromophores with a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPPIV) substrate. In vitro and live cell studies show that these probes allow activatable fluorescence and PA detection and imaging of DPPIV activity with high sensitivity, high specificity and fast response. Moreover, these two probes allow high-contrast and highly specific imaging of DPPIV activity in a tumour-bearing mouse model in vivo via systemic administration. This study highlights the potential of a xanthene scaffold as a versatile platform for developing high-contrast fluorescence and PA molecular probes.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which utilizes type I photoreactions, has great potential as an effective cancer treatment because of its hypoxia-tolerant superiority over the commonly used type II pathway. A few type I photosensitizers are exploited; however, they majorly induce cytotoxicity and possess poor tumor specificity and low-efficient theranostics. To resolve this issue, herein an aminopeptidase N (APN)-activated type I phototheranostic probe (CyA) is reported for anti-hypoxic PDT in conjunction with immunotherapy for effective cancer treatment. CyA can specifically activate near-infrared fluorescence, photoacoustic signals, and phototoxicity following APN-induced substrate cleavage and the subsequent generation of active phototheranostic molecules (such as CyBr). CyA endows specific imaging capabilities and effective phototoxicity toward tumor cells overexpressing APN under both normoxia and hypoxia. In addition, the locally activatable PDT induces systemic antitumor immune responses. More importantly, the integration of localized activated PDT and systemic immunotherapy evokes enhanced therapeutic effects with improved tumor inhibition efficiency in live mice compared with individual treatments. This study aims to present an activatable phototheranostic probe for effective hypoxia-tolerant PDT and combination therapy.

Abstract
The irregular expression or activity of enzymes in the human body leads to various pathological disorders and can therefore be used as an intrinsic trigger for more precise identification of disease foci and controlled release of diagnostics and therapeutics, leading to improved diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity. Advanced synthesis strategies enable the preparation of polymers with enzymatically activatable skeletons or side chains, while understanding enzymatically responsive mechanisms promotes rational incorporation of activatable units and predictions of the release profile of diagnostics and therapeutics, ultimately leading to promising applications in disease diagnosis and treatment with superior biocompatibility and efficiency. By overcoming the challenges, new opportunities will emerge to inspire researchers to develop more efficient, safer, and clinically reliable enzymatically activatable polymeric carriers as well as prodrugs.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) activity in vivo holds high promise for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Molecular probes with resisted fluorescence (FL) emission for enhanced PA signals of uPA activity have not been reported. Herein, we proposed a molecular probe Cbz-Gly-Gly-Arg-Phe-Phe-IR775 (Z-GGRFF-IR775) which, upon uPA cleavage, assembled into nanoparticles FF-IR775-NP with quenched fluorescence but enhanced PA signals. Experimental results validated that, upon uPA activation, Z-GGRFF-IR775 exhibited 4.7-fold, 4.1-fold, and 2.9-fold higher PA signals over those in uPA inhibitor-treated control groups in vitro, in MDA-MB-231 cells, and in a tumor-bearing mouse model, respectively. We anticipate that this probe could be applied for highly sensitive PA imaging of uPA activity in early stage malignant tumors in the near future.

Abstract
Precise detection of early osteolytic metastases is crucial for their treatment but remains challenging in the clinic because of the limited sensitivity and specificity of traditional imaging techniques. Although fluorescence imaging offers attractive features for the diagnosis of osteolytic metastases, it is hampered by limited penetration depth. To address this issue, a fluoro-photoacoustic dual-modality imaging probe comprising a near-infrared dye caged by a cathepsin K (CTSK)-cleavable peptide sequence on one side and functionalized with osteophilic alendronate through a polyethylene glycol linker on the other side is reported. Through systematic in vitro and in vivo experiments, it is demonstrated that in response to CTSK, the probe generated both near-infrared fluorescent and photoacoustic signals from bone metastatic regions, thus offering a potential strategy for detecting deep-seated early osteolytic metastases.

Abstract
Polymerization inside living cells provides chemists with a multitude of possibilities to modulate cell activities. Considering the advantages of hyperbranched polymers, such as a large surface area for target sites and multilevel branched structures for resistance to the efflux effect, we reported a hyperbranched polymerization in living cells based on the oxidative polymerization of organotellurides and intracellular redox environment. The intracellular hyperbranched polymerization was triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the intracellular redox microenvironment, effectively disrupting antioxidant systems in cells by an interaction between Te (+4) and selenoproteins, thus inducing selective apoptosis of cancer cells. Importantly, the obtained hyperbranched polymer aggregated into branched nanostructures in cells, which could effectively evade drug pumps and decrease drug efflux, ensuring the polymerization for persistent treatment. Finally, in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that our strategy presented selective anticancer efficacy and well biosafety. This approach provides a way for intracellular polymerization with desirable biological applications to regulate cell activities.

Abstract
Noninvasive and accurate detection of liver fibrosis is extremely significant for well-timed intervention and treatment to prevent or reverse its progression. Fluorescence imaging probes hold great potential for imaging of liver fibrosis, but they always encounter the inherent limitation of shallow penetration depth, which compromises their ability of in vivo detection. To overcome this issue, an activatable fluoro-photoacoustic bimodal imaging probe (IP) is herein developed for specific visualization of liver fibrosis. The probe IP is constructed on a near-infrared thioxanthene-hemicyanine dye that is caged with gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) responsive substrate and linked with integrin-targeted peptide (cRGD). Such molecular design permits IP to effectively accumulate in the liver fibrosis region through specific recognition of cRGD towards integrin and activate its fluoro-photoacoustic signal after interaction with overexpressed GGT to precisely monitor the liver fibrosis. Thus, our study presents a potential strategy to design dual-target fluoro-photoacoustic imaging probes for noninvasive detection of early-stage liver fibrosis.

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

Abstract
Optical imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) window has been extensively investigated for bioimaging. However, a strong autofluorescence background from real-time excitation light significantly reduces the images' quality of NIR-II fluorescence (FL) imaging. To resolve this issue, a NIR-II self-luminous small molecule (CLPD) based on bioluminescence (BL) resonance energy transfer (BRET) mechanism is first developed. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) can trigger NIR-II BL and reduce the NIR-II FL signals of the CLPD simultaneously, enabling ROS-correlated ratiometric BL/FL imaging. CLPD is used for high-contrast NIR-II BL imaging of osteoarthritis as well as guiding the treatment process by ratiometric BL/FL imaging. Moreover, CLPD is applied for NIR-II BL imaging of tumor triggered by the generated ROS during PDT. A correlation between the ratiometric NIR-II BL/FL signal and tumor size is constructed, providing a trustworthy tool for early assessment of PDT effect. Overall, this study presents a novel NIR-II self-luminous small molecular probe for in vivo imaging and provides a strategy for design a self-evaluation system of therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window holds great promise for in vivo visualization of amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, which can facilitate characterization and deep understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, it has been rarely exploited. Herein, we report the development of NIR-II fluorescent reporters with a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) architecture for specific detection of Aβ plaques in AD-model mice. Among all the designed probes, DMP2 exhibits the highest affinity to Aβ fibrils and can specifically activate its NIR-II fluorescence after binding to Aβ fibrils via suppressed twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) effect. With suitable lipophilicity for ideal blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrability and deep-tissue penetration of NIR-II fluorescence, DMP2 possesses specific detection of Aβ plaques in in vivo AD-model mice. Thus, this study presents a potential agent for non-invasive imaging of Aβ plaques and deep deciphering of AD progression.

Abstract
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a glycolipid-anchored protein located on the cell surface that is implicated in the promotion of metastasis. New fluorescent probes for the detection of uPAR expression that feature a rapid "turn-on" response are reported here. They consist of a donor-π-acceptor-based fluorophore conjugated with a uPAR-binding AE105 peptide. The resulting AE105-coupled uPAR-targeting probes are weakly emissive in aqueous buffer solutions; however, a fluorescence "turn-on" signal is instantly triggered upon specific binding to uPAR (KD =63.2 nM for P1 and 49.5 nM for P2), which restricts the rotational deactivation of the fluorophore. Applications of the probes were demonstrated in the imaging of uPAR overexpressed on the membrane of cancer cell and in a cell-based uPAR inhibitor assay.

Abstract
Responsive nanosystems for tumor treatment with high specificity and sensitivity have aroused great attention. Herein, we develop a tumor microenvironment responsive and near-infrared (NIR)-activatable theranostic nanoreactor for imaging-guided anticancer therapy. The nanoreactor (SnO2-x@AGP) is comprised of poly(vinylpyrrolidine) encapsulated hollow mesoporous black SnO2-x nanoparticles coloaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). The constructed nanoreactor can be specifically activated through endogenous H2O2 by an NIR-mediated "bursting-like" process to enhance its imaging and therapeutic functions. Black SnO2-x with abundant oxygen vacancies expedites effective separation of electron-hole pairs from energy-band structure and endows them with strong hyperthermia effect upon NIR laser irradiation. The generating toxic H2O2 with the assistance of GOx provides SnO2-x@AGP with the capacity of oxidative stress therapy. Ascended H2O2 can activate ABTS into ABTS•+. ABTS•+ not only possesses significant NIR absorption properties, but also disrupts intracellular glutathione to generate excessive reactive oxygen species for improved phototherapy, leading to more effective treatment together with oxidative stress therapy. Thus, SnO2-x@AGP with NIR-mediated and H2O2-activated performance presents tumor inhibition efficacy with minimized damage to normal tissues. These outstanding characteristics of SnO2-x@AGP bring an insight into the development of activatable nanoreactors for smart, precise, and non-invasive cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The activation of inflammasome leads to secretion of inflammatory factors and cell pyroptosis that are critical in the pathogenesis of various chronic and acute inflammatory diseases. Recruitment and activation of caspase-1 is a marker of inflammasome activation. However, there is still lack of real-time and efficient methods to detect the activation of inflammasome, especially in vivo. Herein, we developed two activatable caspase-1-responsive fluorescence biosensors, WEHD-HCy and YVAD-HCy, to specifically monitor the activation of inflammasome in vivo. Our in vitro study demonstrated that WEHD-HCy and YVAD-HCy can sensitively and specifically respond to caspase-1 activation. Moreover, these biosensors can efficiency and specifically activated in the common inflammatory disease model, including inflammatory bowel disease, Salmonella infection, and acute arthritis. In particular, WEHD-HCy is more advantageous than YVAD-HCy to specifically image of caspase-1 activity both in vitro and in vivo. These caspase-1-responsive fluorescence biosensors provide an efficient, rapid, and in situ tool for monitoring inflammasome activation, and have the potential to be suitable for clinical diagnosis of various inflammatory diseases associated with inflammasome activation.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and therapy are clinically crucial in decreasing mortality from breast carcinoma. However, the existing probes have difficulty in accurately identifying the margins and contours of breast carcinoma due to poor sensitivity and specificity. There is an urgent need to develop high-sensitive fluorescent probes for the diagnosis of breast carcinoma and for differentiating tumors from normal tissues during surgery. β-Galactosidase is a significant biomarker, whose overexpression is closely associated with the progression of breast tumors. Herein, we have constructed a β-galactosidase-activated fluorescent probe NIR-βgal-2 through rational design and molecular docking engineering simulations. The probe displayed superior sensitivity (detection limit = 2.0 × 10-3 U/mL), great affinity (Km = 1.84 μM), and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km = 0.24 μM-1 s-1) for β-galactosidase. Leveraging this probe, we demonstrated the differentiation of cancer cells overexpressing β-galactosidase from normal cells and then applied the probe for intraoperative guided excision of breast tumors. Moreover, we exhibited the application of NIR-βgal-2 for the successful resection of orthotopic breast tumors by "in situ spraying" and monitored a good prognostic recovery. This work may promote the application of enzyme-activated near-infrared fluorescent probes for the development of carcinoma diagnosis and image-guided surgery.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a tumor marker for early diagnosis and treatment. Tumor targeting can recognize and fight tumor cells more accurately from healthy cells. Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is a targeting ligand of liver tumors. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are promising techniques for tumor diagnosis and treatment. The outstanding characteristics of Hemicyanine (HCy) dye make it suitable for tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, using HCy nanoparticle (HCy NP) for liver tumor-targeting PAI and PTT has not been reported. Herein, Probe-1 is developed to enhance PAI and PTT of liver tumors due to GA targeting and intracellular ALP-instructed self-assembly of HCy NP. Compared to Probe-2 without self-assembly ability, Probe-1 displays a 4.6-fold higher PAI signal or 1.7-fold lower half inhibitory concentrations in HepG2 cells. Moreover, Probe-1 shows extended retention time (10 vs 6 h) and 2.1-fold higher PAI signal than Probe-2 in HepG2 tumors. The HepG2 tumors in Group Probe-1 obviously increase 18 °C (Tmax : 55 °C) with a 3.3-fold decreased volume while that in Group Probe-2 mildly increase 9.8 °C (Tmax : 46.8 °C) with a 4.3-fold increased volume. It is envisioned that this smart self-assembly strategy can be easily adjusted for PAI and PTT of more tumors.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a prevalent idiopathic inflammatory disease which causes such complications as intestinal perforation, obstruction, and bleeding, and thus deleteriously impacting people's normal work and quality of life. Hence, accurate diagnosis of UC is crucial in terms of planning optimal treatment plan. Herein, a pH/reactive oxygen species (ROS) dual-responsive nanosystem (BM@EP) is developed for UC's detection and therapy. BM@EP is composed of a chromophore-drug dyad and the enteric coating. The chromophore-drug dyad (BOD-XT-DHM) is synthesized by linking the chromophore (BOD-XT-BOH) and a flavonoid drug (dihydromyricetin DHM) through boronate ester bond. The enteric coating includes Eudragit S100 and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), the former is commonly employed as a pH-dependent polymer coating excipient so as to attain colon-targeted delivery, and the latter has been widely used as an excipient for the controlled-extended release. After oral administration, BM@EP delivers the dyad (BOD-XT-DHM) into the colon and releases the dyad molecules by being triggered by the alkaline pH in t colon, thereafter upon being stimulated by overexpressed H2 O2 in the inflamed colon, the boronate bond in the dyad is broken down and correspondingly the drug DHM is released for UC therapy, simultaneously the chromophore is released for near-infrared second window (NIR-II) fluorescence and optoacoustic imaging for UC diagnosis and recovery evaluation.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has gained more and more attention in recent years and showed great potential in the field of bioimaging. Until now, numerous materials have been developed as contrast agents for NIR-II PA imaging. Among them, small molecule dyes hold unique advantages such as definite structures and capability of fast clearance from body. By virtue of these advantages, small molecule dyes-constructed nanoparticles have relatively small size and show promise in the clinical translation. Thus, in this minireview, we summarize recent advances in small molecule dyes-based nanotheranostics for NIR-II PA imaging and cancer therapy. Studies about NIR-II PA imaging-guided phototherapy are first introduced. Then, NIR-II PA imaging-guided phototherapy-based combination therapeutic systems are reviewed. Finally, the conclusion and perspectives of this field are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a nonionizing, noninvasive imaging technique that combines optical and ultrasonic imaging modalities to provide images with excellent contrast, spatial resolution, and penetration depth. Exogenous PA contrast agents are created to increase the sensitivity and specificity of PA imaging and to offer diagnostic information for illnesses. The existing PA contrast agents are categorized into two groups in this review: "always-on" and "turn-on," based on their ability to be triggered by target molecules. The present state of these probes, their merits and limitations, and their future development, is explored.

Abstract
Metformin is commonly used for clinical treatment of type-2 diabetes, but long-term or overdose intake of metformin usually causes selective upregulation of H2S level in the liver, resulting in liver injury. Therefore, tracking the changes of H2S content in the liver would contribute to the prevention and diagnosis of liver injury. However, in the literature, there are few reports on ratiometric PA molecular probes for H2S detection in drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Accordingly, here we developed a H2S-activated ratiometric PA probe, namely BDP-H2S, based Aza-BODIPY dye for detecting the H2S upregulation of metformin-induced liver injury. Due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, BDP-H2S exhibited a strong PA signal at 770 nm. Following the response to H2S, its ICT effect was recovered which showed a decrement of PA770 and an enhancement of PA840. The ratiometric PA signal (PA840/PA770) showed excellent H2S selectivity response with a low limit of detection (0.59 μM). Bioimaging experiments demonstrated that the probe has been successfully used for ratiometric PA imaging of H2S in cells and metformin-induced liver injury in mice. Overall, the designed probe emerges as a powerful tool for noninvasive and accurate imaging of H2S level and tracking its distribution and variation in liver in-real time.

Abstract
Enzymes, as a kind of biomacromolecules, play an important role in many physiological processes and relate directly to various diseases. Developing an efficient detection method for enzyme activity is important to achieve early diagnosis of enzyme-relevant diseases and high throughput screening of potential enzyme-relevant drugs. Time-resolved luminescence assay provide a high accuracy and signal-to-noise ratios detection methods for enzyme activity, which has been widely used in high throughput screening of enzyme-relevant drugs and diagnosis of enzyme-relevant diseases. Inspired by these advantages, various responsive probes based on metal complexes and metal-free organic compounds have been developed for time-resolved bioimaging and biosensing of enzyme activity owing to their long luminescence lifetimes, high quantum yields and photostability. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed metal complex- and metal-free organic compound-based responsive probes applied to detect enzyme activity through time-resolved imaging, including their design strategies and sensing principles. Current challenges and future prospects in this rapidly growing field are also discussed.

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

Abstract
In vivo simultaneous visualization of multiple biomarkers is critical to accurately diagnose disease and decipher fundamental processes at a certain pathological evolution, which however is rarely exploited. Herein, a multimodal activatable imaging probe (P-125 I) is reported with activatable fluoro-photoacoustic and radioactive signal for in vivo imaging of biomarkers (i.e., hepsin and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)) associated with prostate cancer diagnosis and prognosis. P-125 I contains a near-infrared (NIR) dye that is caged with a hepsin-cleavable peptide sequence and linked with a radiolabeled PSMA-targeted ligand (PSMAL). After systemic administration, P-125 I actively targets the tumor site via specific recognition between PSMA and PSMAL moiety and in-situ generates of activated fluoro-photoacoustic signal after reacting with hepsin to release the free dye (uncaged state). P-125 I achieves precisely early detection of prostate cancer and renal clearance to alleviate toxicity issues. In addition, the accumulated radioactive and activated photoacoustic signal of probe correlates well with the respective expression level of PSMA and hepsin, which provides valuable foreseeability for cancer progression and prognosis. Thus, this study presents a multimodal activatable probe for early detection and in-depth deciphering of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Inflammation is associated with many diseases, so the development of an excellent near infrared fluorescent (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) dual-modality probe is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of inflammation. However, most of the current NIRF/PA scaffolds are based on repurposing existing fluorescent dye platforms that exhibit non-optimal properties for both NIRF and PA signal outputs. Herein, we developed a novel dye scaffold QL-OH by optimizing the NIRF and PA signal of classical hemicyanine dyes. Based on this optimized dye, we developed the first NIRF/PA dual-mode carbon monoxide (CO) probe QL-CO for noninvasive and sensitive visualization of CO levels in deep inflammatory lesions in vivo. The novel probe QL-CO exhibited rapid and sensitive NIRF775/PA730 dual activation responses toward CO. In addition, the CO-activated probe QL-CO was successfully used for the diagnosis of inflammation and evaluation of anti-inflammation drug efficacy in living mice though the NIRF/PA dual-mode imaging technology for the first time. More importantly, the probe QL-CO could accurately locate the deep inflammatory lesion tissues (≈1 cm) in mice and obtain 3D PA diagnostic images with deep penetration depth and spatial resolution. Therefore, the new NIRF/PA dual-mode probe QL-CO has high potential for deep-tissue diagnosis imaging of CO in vivo. These findings may provide a new tool and approach for future research and diagnosis of CO-associated diseases.

Abstract
Renal-clearable nanomedicines are considered the next generation of nanomedicines, and show potential application for future clinical translations. However, it is important to determine whether self-assembly can form large aggregates that accrue in tumors and then tailor the size of these assemblies to be excreted renally. In this paper, a renal-clearable nanomedicine based on quanterrylene bisimide-mannose conjugates (QDI-Man) was developed. QDI-Man showed a high renal clearance efficiency of 80.31 ± 2.85% in mice. We confirmed that the self-assembly of QDI-Man exhibited a dynamic adjustment process through the renal filtration thresholds, that is, "aggregation → self-regulating the aggregate size through the renal filtration thresholds → reaggregating into aggregates". Benefiting from the modification of mannose-based glycoclusters, QDI-Man showed selective photothermal therapy because of the mannose receptors overexpressed in breast cancer cells, and showed good photothermal therapy in mice. This paper developed a dynamic adjustment theory for effective renal clearance based on organic self-assembly.

Abstract
Numerous polymeric agents have been widely applied in biology and medicine by virtue of the facile chemical modification, feasible nano-engineering approaches and fine-tuned pharmacokinetics. To endow polymeric imaging agents with ability to monitor and measure subtle molecular or cellular alterations at diseased sites, activatable polymeric probes that can elicit signal changes in response to biomolecular interactions or the analytes of interest have to be developed. Herein, this review aims to provide a systemic interpretation and summarization of the design methodology and imaging utility of recently emerged activatable polymeric probes. An introduction of activatable probes allowing for precise imaging and classification of polymeric imaging agents is reported first. Then, we give a detailed discussion of the contemporary design approaches toward activatable polymeric probes in diverse imaging modes for the detection of various stimuli and their imaging applications. Finally, current challenges and future advances are discussed and highlighted.

Abstract
Small-molecule-based second near-infrared (NIR-II) activatable fluorescent probes can potentially provide a high target-to-background ratio and deep tissue penetration. However, most of the reported NIR-II activatable small-molecule probes exhibit poor versatility owing to the lack of a general and stable optically tunable group. In this study, we designed NIRII-HDs, a novel dye scaffold optimized for NIR-II probe development. In particular, dye NIRII-HD5 showed the best optical properties such as proper pKa value, excellent stability, and high NIR-II brightness, which can be beneficial for in vivo imaging with high contrast. To demonstrate the applicability of the NIRII-HD5 dye, we designed three target-activatable NIR-II probes for ROS, thiols, and enzymes. Using these novel probes, we not only realized reliable NIR-II imaging of different diseases in mouse models but also evaluated the redox potential of liver tissue during a liver injury in vivo with high fidelity.

Abstract
Companion diagnostics (CDx) provides critical information for precision medicine. However, current CDx is mostly limited to in vitro tests, which cannot accurately evaluate the disease progression and treatment response in real time. To overcome this challenge, herein a glucose oxidase (GOx)-engineered conjugated polymer (polyaniline, PANI) nanoplatform (denoted as PANITG) is reported for activatable imaging-based CDx and multistage augmented photothermal/starvation synergistic therapy. PANITG comprises a pH-activatable conjugated polymer as a photothermal convertor and photoacoustic (PA) emitter, a GOx as a cancer starvation inducer as well as a H2 O2 and acid producer, and a H2 O2 -cleavable linker as a "switch" for GOx activity. The in vivo PA imaging and photothermal therapy abilities are activated by acidic tumor microenvironment and self-augmented by the reaction between GOx and glucose. Meanwhile, the photothermal effect will enhance the GOx activity in turn. Such multistage augmentation of the therapeutic effects will facilitate effective cancer management. In addition, the in vivo PA imaging with PANITG reveals the tumor pH level which is correlated to the efficiency of the photothermal therapy and to the catalytic activity of GOx at each stage, enabling real-time activatable CDx.

Abstract
An effective strategy to engineer selective photodynamic agents to surmount bacterial-infected diseases, especially Gram-positive bacteria remains a great challenge. Herein, we developed two examples of compounds for a proof-of-concept study where reactive differences in reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce selective ablation of Gram-positive bacteria. Sulfur-replaced phenoxazinium (NBS-N) mainly generates a superoxide anion radical capable of selectively killing Gram-positive bacteria, while selenium-substituted phenoxazinium (NBSe-N) has a higher generation of singlet oxygen that can kill both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This difference was further evidenced by bacterial fluorescence imaging and morphological changes. Moreover, NBS-N can also successfully heal the Gram-positive bacteria-infected wounds in mice. We believe that such reactive differences may pave a general way to design selective photodynamic agents for ablating Gram-positive bacteria-infected diseases.

Abstract
The intention of this publication is to give an overview on research related to conjugates of polysaccharides and peptides. Dextran, chitosan, and alginate were selected, to cover four of the most often encountered functional groups known to be present in polysaccharides. These groups are the hydroxyl, the amine, the carboxyl, and the acetal functionality. A collection of the commonly used chemical reactions for conjugation is provided. Conjugation results into distinct properties compared to the parent polysaccharide, and a number of these characteristics are highlighted. This review aims at demonstrating the applicability of said conjugates with a strong emphasis on biomedical applications, drug delivery, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Some suggestions are made for more rigorous chemistries and analytics that could be investigated. Finally, an outlook is given into which direction the field could be developed further. We hope that this survey provides the reader with a comprehensive summary and contributes to the progress of works that aim at synthetically combining two of the main building blocks of life into supramolecular structures with unprecedented biological response.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging technology, a three-dimensional hybrid imaging modality that integrates the advantage of optical and acoustic imaging, has great application prospects in molecular imaging due to its high imaging depth and resolution. To endow PA imaging with the ability for real-time molecular visualization and precise biomedical diagnosis, numerous activatable molecular PA probes which can specifically alter their PA intensities upon reacting with the targets or biological events of interest have been developed. This review highlights the recent developments of activatable PA probes for precise biomedical applications including molecular detection of the biotargets and imaging of the biological events. First, the generation mechanism of PA signals will be given, followed by a brief introduction to contrast agents used for PA probe design.

Abstract
During tumor development, invasion and metastasis, the intimate interaction between tumor and stroma shapes the tumor microenvironment and dictates the fate of tumor cells. Stromal cells can also influence anti-tumor immunity and response to immunotherapy. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern this complex and dynamic interplay, thus is important for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Proteolytic enzymes that are expressed and secreted by both cancer and stromal cells play important roles in modulating tumor-stromal interaction. Among, several serine proteases such as fibroblast activation protein, urokinase-type plasminogen activator, kallikrein-related peptidases, and granzymes have attracted great attention owing to their elevated expression and dysregulated activity in the tumor microenvironment. This review highlights the role of serine proteases that are mainly derived from stromal cells in tumor progression and associated theranostic applications.

Abstract
The discovery of a near-infrared (NIR, 650-900 nm) fluorescent chromophore hemicyanine dye with high structural tailorability is of great significance in the field of detection, bioimaging, and medical therapeutic applications. It exhibits many outstanding advantages including absorption and emission in the NIR region, tunable spectral properties, high photostability as well as a large Stokes shift. These properties are superior to those of conventional fluorogens, such as coumarin, fluorescein, naphthalimides, rhodamine, and cyanine. Researchers have made remarkable progress in developing activity-based multifunctional fluorescent probes based on hemicyanine skeletons for monitoring vital biomolecules in living systems through the output of fluorescence/photoacoustic signals, and integration of diagnosis and treatment of diseases using chemotherapy or photothermal/photodynamic therapy or combination therapy. These achievements prompted researchers to develop more smart fluorescent probes using a hemicyanine fluorogen as a template. In this review, we begin by describing the brief history of the discovery of hemicyanine dyes, synthetic approaches, and design strategies for activity-based functional fluorescent probes. Then, many selected hemicyanine-based probes that can detect ions, small biomolecules, overexpressed enzymes and diagnostic reagents for diseases are systematically highlighted. Finally, potential drawbacks and the outlook for future investigation and clinical medicine transformation of hemicyanine-based activatable functional probes are also discussed.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has emerged as a powerful technique for the high resolution visualization of biological processes within deep tissue. Through the development and application of exogenous targeted contrast agents and activatable probes that can respond to a given cancer biomarker, researchers can image molecular events in vivo during cancer progression. This information can provide valuable details that can facilitate cancer diagnosis and therapy monitoring. In this tutorial review, we provide a step-by-step guide to select a cancer biomarker and subsequent approaches to design imaging agents for in vivo use. We envision this information will be a useful summary to those in the field, new members to the community, and graduate students taking advanced imaging coursework. We also highlight notable examples from the recent literature, with emphasis on the molecular designs and their in vivo PA imaging performance. To conclude, we provide our outlook and future perspective in this exciting field.

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

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), as one of the most malignant tumors with dense desmoplastic stroma, forms a specific matrix barrier to hinder effective diagnosis and therapy. To date, a paramount challenge is in the search for intelligent nanotheranostics for such hypopermeable tumors, especially in breaking the PDAC-specific physical barrier. The unpredictable in vivo behaviors of nanotheranostics, that is, real-time tracking where, when, and how they cross the physical barriers and are taken up by tumor cells, are the major bottleneck. Herein, we elaborately design sequence-activated nanotheranostic TCM-U11&Cy@P with dual-channel near-infrared fluorescence outputs for monitoring in vivo behaviors in a sequential fashion. This nanotheranostic with a programmable targeting capability effectively breaks through the PDAC barriers. Ultimately, the released aggregation-induced emission (AIE) particle TCM-U11 directly interacts with PDAC cells and penetrates into the deep tissue. Impressively, this fluorescent nanotheranostic intraoperatively can map human clinical PDAC specimens with high resolution. We believe that this unique sequence-activated fluorescent strategy expands the repertoire of nanotheranostics in the treatment of hypopermeable tumors.
