Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease characterized by dense stroma. Obesity is an important metabolic factor that greatly increases PDAC risk and mortality, worsens progression and leads to poor chemotherapeutic outcomes. With omics analysis, magnetic resonance and near-infrared fluorescence (MR/NIRF) dual-modality imaging and molecular functional verification, obesity as an important risk factor is proved to modulate the extracellular matrix (ECM) components and enhance Fibronectin (FN) infiltration in the PDAC stroma, that promotes tumor progression and worsens response to chemotherapy by reducing drug delivery. In the study, to visually evaluate FN in vivo and guide PDAC therapy, an FN-targeted nanoprobe, NP-CREKA, is synthesized by conjugating gadolinium chelates, NIR797 and fluorescein isothiocyanate to a polyamidoamine dendrimer functionalized with targeting peptides. A dual-modality strategy combining MR and NIRF imaging is applied, allowing effective visualization of FN in orthotopic PDAC with high spatial resolution, ideal sensitivity and excellent penetrability, especially in obese mice. In conclusion, the findings provide new insights into the potential of FN as an ideal target for therapeutic evaluation and improving treatment efficacy in PDAC, hopefully improving the specific management of PDAC in lean and obese hosts.

Abstract
While cyanine dyes enjoy a multitude of uses in science and technology, their phosphorus analogues, phosphamethine cyanine dyes, have not yet found benchtop applications primarily because of their sensitivity to air and moisture. We are excited to report full characterization of an extraordinarily stable acyclic phosphamethine cyanine dye. Nitrile substituents on the N-heterocyclic framework afford air and water stability as well as resistance to methylation and sulfuration even under forcing conditions. Cyclic voltammetry confirms a high oxidation potential of the compound and computational investigations reveal stabilized orbitals. The unusual orbital stability appears to render the normally electron-rich PI site an extremely poor nucleophile and difficult to oxidize. From a practical perspective, this dye is prepared in a one-pot method under mild conditions.

Abstract
The viscosity of the cell microenvironment is a parameter that affects cell physiological processes. A fluorescent probe X-V was designed to detect the viscosity changes of a hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) cell model with high selectivity and sensitivity. The fluorescence emission wavelength is 615 nm and the Stokes shift can be up to 125 nm, which can be used not only for intracellular viscosity changes stimulated by different drugs but also for the detection of cell viscosity changes in the HIRI cell model. Probe X-V provides a useful tool to study the relationship between mitochondrial viscosity and related diseases.

Abstract
Two interesting benzothizolium-based D-π-A type hemicyanine dyes (3a-3b) with a diphenylamine (-NPh2) donor group were evaluated for fluorescence confocal microscopy imaging ability in live cells (MO3.13, NHLF). In sharp contrast to previously reported D-π-A dyes with alkyl amine donor (-NR2) groups (1), 3a and 3b exhibited significantly different photophysical properties and organelle selectivity. Probes 3a and 3b were nearly non-fluorescent in many polar and non-polar solvents but exhibited a bright red fluorescence (λem ≈ 630-640 nm) in stained MO3.13 and NHLF with very low probe concentrations (i.e., 200 nM). Fluorescence confocal microscopy-based co-localization studies revealed excellent lysosome selectivity from the probes 3a-3b, which is in sharp contrast to previously reported D-π-A type benzothiazolium dyes (1) with an alkyl amine donor group (-NR2) (exhibiting selectivity towards cellular mitochondria). The photostability of probe 3 was found to be dependent on the substituent (R') attached to the quaternary nitrogen atom in the cyanine dye structure. The observed donor-dependent selectivity switching phenomenon can be highly useful in designing novel organelle-targeted fluorescent probes for live-cell imaging applications.

Abstract
The intracellular physical parameters i. e., polarity, viscosity, fluidity, tension, potential, and temperature of a live cell are the hallmark of cellular health and have garnered immense interest over the past decade. In this context, small molecule organic fluorophores exhibit prominent useful properties including easy functionalizability, environmental sensitivity, biocompatibility, and fast yet efficient cellular uptakability which has made them a popular tool to understand intra-cellular micro-environmental properties. Throughout this discussion, we have outlined the basic design strategies of small molecules for specific organelle targeting and quantification of physical properties. The values of these parameters are indicative of cellular homeostasis and subtle alteration may be considered as the onset of disease. We believe this comprehensive review will facilitate the development of potential future probes for superior insight into the physical parameters that are yet to be quantified.

Abstract
Despite continuous advances, anticancer therapy still faces several technical hurdles, such as selectivity on cellular and subcellular targets of therapeutics. Toward addressing these limitations, we have combined the use of proapoptotic peptides, trimethine cyanine dye, and folate to target the mitochondria of tumor cells. A series of proapoptotic peptides and their conjugates with a cyanine dye and/or folate were synthesized in the solid phase, and their toxicity in different human cell lines was assessed. Cyanine-bearing conjugates were found to be up to 100-fold more cytotoxic than the parent peptides and to localize in mitochondria. However, the addition of a folate motif did not enhance the potency or selectivity of the resulting conjugates toward tumor cells that overexpress folate receptor α. Furthermore, while dual-labeled constructs were also found to localize within the target organelle, they were not generally selective towards folate receptor α-positive cell lines in vitro.

Abstract
An energy transfer-based signal amplification relay concept enabling transmission of bioorthogonally activatable fluorogenicity of blue-excitable coumarins to yellow/red emitting cyanine frames is presented. Such relay mechanism resulted in improved cyanine fluorogenicities together with increased photostabilities and large apparent Stokes-shifts allowing lower background fluorescence even in no-wash bioorthogonal fluorogenic labeling schemes of intracellular structures in live cells. These energy transfer dyads sharing the same donor moiety together with their parent donor molecule allowed three-color imaging of intracellular targets using one single excitation source with separate emission windows. Sub-diffraction imaging of intracellular structures using the bioorthogonally activatable FRET dyads by STED microscopy is also presented.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. A cancer-targeted multifunctional probe labeled with the radionuclide has been developed to provide multi-modalities for NIR fluorescence and nuclear imaging (PET, SPECT), for photothermal therapy (PTT), and targeted radionuclide therapy of cancer. In this study, synthesis, characterization, in vitro, and in vivo biological evaluation of the cyanine-based probe (DOTA-NIR790) were demonstrated. The use of cyanine dyes for the selective accumulation of cancer cells were used to achieve the characteristics of tumor markers. Therefore, all kinds of organ tumors can be targeted for diagnosis and treatment. The DOTA-NIR790 labeled with lutetium-111 could detect original or metastatic tumors by using SPECT imaging and quantify tumor accumulation. The β-emission of 177Lu-DOTA-NIR790 can be used for targeted radionuclide therapy of tumors. The DOTA-NIR790 enabled imaging by NIR fluorescence and by nuclear imaging (SPECT) to monitor in real-time the tumor accumulation and the situation of cancer therapy, and to guide the surgery or the photothermal therapy of the tumor. The radionuclide-labeled heptamethine cyanine based probe (DOTA-NIR790) offers multifunctional modalities for imaging and therapies of cancer.

Abstract
The detailed mechanism and the extent of pH/SO2 changes during apoptosis remain unknown. The developed sensor NPCF for SO2 and pH dual detection illustrates that SO2 can reduce the inflammation caused by LPS and the acidification of the environment. The levels of SO2 and pH change during carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP)-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Some heptamethine cyanine dyes accumulate in solid tumors in vivo and persist there for several days. The reasons why they accumulate and persist in tumors were incompletely defined, but explanations based on uptake into cancer cells via organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) have been widely discussed. All cyanine-based "tumor-seeking dyes" have a chloride centrally placed on the heptamethine bridge (a "meso-chloride"). We were intrigued and perplexed by the correlation between this particular functional group and tumor uptake, so the following study was designed. It features four dyes (1-Cl, 1-Ph, 5-Cl, and 5-Ph) with complementary properties. Dye 1-Cl is otherwise known as MHI-148, and 1-Ph is a close analog wherein the meso-chloride has been replaced by a phenyl group. Data presented here shows that both 1-Cl and 1-Ph form noncovalent adducts with albumin, but only 1-Cl can form a covalent one. Both dyes 5-Cl and 5-Ph have a methylene (CH2) unit replaced by a dimethylammonium functionality (N+Me2). Data presented here shows that both these dyes 5 do not form tight noncovalent adducts with albumin, and only 5-Cl can form a covalent one (though much more slowly than 1-Cl). In tissue culture experiments, uptake of dyes 1 is more impacted by the albumin in the media than by the pan-OATP uptake inhibitor (BSP) that has been used to connect uptake of tumor-seeking dyes in vivo with the OATPs. Uptake of 1-Cl in media containing fluorescein-labeled albumin gave a high degree of colocalization of intracellular fluorescence. No evidence was found for the involvement of OATPs in uptake of the dyes into cells in media containing albumin. In an in vivo tumor model, only the two dyes that can form albumin adducts (1-Cl and 5-Cl) gave intratumor fluorescence that persisted long enough to be clearly discerned over the background (∼4 h); this fluorescence was still observed at 48 h. Tumors could be imaged with a higher contrast if 5-Cl is used instead of 1-Cl, because 5-Cl is cleared more rapidly from healthy tissues. Overall, the evidence is consistent with in vitro and in vivo results and indicates that the two dyes in the test series that accumulate in tumors and persist there (1-Cl and 5-Cl, true tumor-seeking dyes) do so as covalent albumin adducts trapped in tumor tissue via uptake by some cancer cells and via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect.

Abstract
Cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis for ATP production even in aerobic conditions (the Warburg effect) and adapt mitochondrial processes to their specific needs. Recent studies indicate that altered mitochondrial activities in cancer represent an actionable target for therapy. We previously showed that salt 1-3C, a quinoxaline unit (with cytotoxic activity) incorporated into a meso-substituted pentamethinium salt (with mitochondrial selectivity and fluorescence properties), displayed potent cytotoxic effects in vitro and in vivo, without significant toxic effects to normal tissues. Here, we investigated the cytotoxic mechanism of salt 1-3C compared to its analogue, salt 1-8C, with an extended side carbon chain. Live cell imaging demonstrated that salt 1-3C, but not 1-8C, is rapidly incorporated into mitochondria, correlating with increased cytotoxicity of salt 1-3C. The accumulation in mitochondria led to their fragmentation and loss of function, accompanied by increased autophagy/mitophagy. Salt 1-3C preferentially activated AMP-activated kinase and inhibited mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways, sensors of cellular metabolism, but did not induce apoptosis. These data indicate that salt 1-3C cytotoxicity involves mitochondrial perturbation and disintegration, and such compounds are promising candidates for targeting mitochondria as a weak spot of cancer.

Abstract
Many cancers adeptly modulate metabolism to thrive in fluctuating oxygen conditions; however, current tools fail to image metabolic and vascular endpoints at spatial resolutions needed to visualize these adaptations in vivo. We demonstrate a high-resolution intravital microscopy technique to quantify glucose uptake, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and SO2 to characterize the in vivo phentoypes of three distinct murine breast cancer lines. Tetramethyl rhodamine, ethyl ester (TMRE) was thoroughly validated to report on MMP in normal and tumor-bearing mice. Imaging MMP or glucose uptake together with vascular endpoints revealed that metastatic 4T1 tumors maintained increased glucose uptake across all SO2 (“Warburg effect”), and also showed increased MMP relative to normal tissue. Non-metastatic 67NR and 4T07 tumor lines both displayed increased MMP, but comparable glucose uptake, relative to normal tissue. The 4T1 peritumoral areas also showed a significant glycolytic shift relative to the tumor regions. During a hypoxic stress test, 4T1 tumors showed significant increases in MMP with corresponding significant drops in SO2, indicative of intensified mitochondrial metabolism. Conversely, 4T07 and 67NR tumors shifted toward glycolysis during hypoxia. Our findings underscore the importance of imaging metabolic endpoints within the context of a living microenvironment to gain insight into a tumor’s adaptive behavior.

Abstract
An urgent challenge for imaging-guided disease-targeted multimodal therapy is to develop the appropriate multifunctional agents to meet the requirements for potential applications. Here, a rigid cyclohexenyl substitution in the middle of a polymethine linker and two asymmetrical amphipathic N-alkyl side chains to indocyanine green (ICG) (the only FDA-approved NIR contrast agent) are introduced, and a new analog, IR-DBI, is developed with simultaneous cancer-cell mitochondrial targeting, NIR imaging, and chemo-/PDT/PTT/multimodal therapeutic activities. The asymmetrical and amphipathic structural modification renders IR-DBI a close binding to albumin protein site II to form a drug-protein complex and primarily facilitates its preferential accumulation at tumor sites via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The released IR-DBI dye is further actively taken up by cancer cells through organic-anion-transporting polypeptide transporters, and the lipophilic cationic property leads to its selective accumulation in the mitochondria of cancer cells. Finally, based on the high albumin-binding affinity, IR-DBI is modified into human serum albumin (HSA) via self-assembly to produce a nanosized complex, which exhibits significant improvement in the cancer targeting and multimodal cancer treatment with better biocompatibility. This finding may present a practicable strategy to develop small-molecule-based cancer theranostic agents for simultaneous cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Mitochondria are recognized as one of the most important targets for new drug design in cancer, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases. Currently, the most effective way to deliver drugs specifically to mitochondria is by covalent linking a lipophilic cation such as an alkyltriphenylphosphonium moiety to a pharmacophore of interest. Other delocalized lipophilic cations, such as rhodamine, natural and synthetic mitochondria-targeting peptides, and nanoparticle vehicles, have also been used for mitochondrial delivery of small molecules. Depending on the approach used, and the cell and mitochondrial membrane potentials, more than 1000-fold higher mitochondrial concentration can be achieved. Mitochondrial targeting has been developed to study mitochondrial physiology and dysfunction and the interaction between mitochondria and other subcellular organelles and for treatment of a variety of diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. In this Review, we discuss efforts to target small-molecule compounds to mitochondria for probing mitochondria function, as diagnostic tools and potential therapeutics. We describe the physicochemical basis for mitochondrial accumulation of lipophilic cations, synthetic chemistry strategies to target compounds to mitochondria, mitochondrial probes, and sensors, and examples of mitochondrial targeting of bioactive compounds. Finally, we review published attempts to apply mitochondria-targeted agents for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PA imaging or PAI) has been focused on as a new technique to provide images of high spatial resolution, at depths of up to 5 cm, and the development of novel PAI probes for tumor imaging is of marked interest. Although nanomaterials such as gold nanorods have been reported as PAI probes, dyes are required to aid their ease of preparation, cost-effectiveness, and safety. However, because PAI has relatively low intrinsic sensitivity compared to optical imaging, and requires high-energy laser pulse exposure, an appropriate probe design, high tumor accumulation, and photostability are required for PAI probes. We developed some dyes and evaluated their usefulness as PAI probes. We first developed a high tumor-accumulation dye probe, IC7-1-Bu, which utilizes serum albumin as a tumor-targeting carrier to deliver an adequate PA signal at the tumor. Although IC7-1-Bu showed strong tumor targeting ability and a sufficient PA signal at the tumor in in vivo studies, IC7-1-Bu lacks photostability against multiple laser irradiations of PAI. In order to improve dye photostablity, we focused on the effect of singlet oxygen ((1)O2) generated by excited PAI probes on probe degeneration, and developed a triplet-state quencher conjugated dye probe, IC-5-T. IC-5-T reduced (1)O2 generation and improved photostability against multiple irradiations compared to IC7-1-Bu. IC-5-T also showed a sufficient PA signal at the tumor, and 1.5-fold higher photostabillity compared to IC7-1-Bu in sequential in vivo PAI studies. These results suggest that IC-5-T is a potential PAI probe for tumor imaging.

Abstract
We developed an ultrasensitive luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) aptasensor for Ochratoxin A (OTA) detection, using core/shell upconversion nanoparticles (CS-UCNPs) as luminophores. The OTA aptamer was tagged to CS-UCNPs as energy donor and graphene oxide (GO) acted as energy acceptor. The π-π stacking interaction between the aptamer and GO brought CS-UCNPs and GO in close proximity hence initiated the LRET process resulting in quenching of CS-UCNPs luminescence. A linear calibration was obtained between the luminescence intensity and the logarithm of OTA concentration in the range from 0.001ngmL-1 to 250ngmL-1, with a detection limit of 0.001ngmL-1. The aptasensor showed good specificity towards OTA in beer samples. The ultrahigh sensitivity and pronounced robustness in beer sample matrix suggested promising prospect of the aptasensor inpractical applications.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging tool that bridges the traditional depth limits of ballistic optical imaging and the resolution limits of diffuse optical imaging. Using the acoustic waves generated in response to the absorption of pulsed laser light, it provides noninvasive images of absorbed optical energy density at depths of several centimeters with a resolution of ∼100 μm. This versatile and scalable imaging modality has now shown potential for molecular imaging, which enables visualization of biological processes with systemically introduced contrast agents. Understanding the relative merits of the vast range of contrast agents available, from small-molecule dyes to gold and carbon nanostructures to liposome encapsulations, is a considerable challenge. Here we critically review the physical, chemical and biochemical characteristics of the existing photoacoustic contrast agents, highlighting key applications and present challenges for molecular PAI.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) contributes to tumor diagnosis through the use of PAI probes that effectively accumulate in tumors. Previously, we developed a symmetrical cyanine dye, IC7-1-Bu, which showed high potential as a PAI probe because of its high tumor targeting ability and sufficient in vivo PA signal. However, IC7-1-Bu lacks photostability for multiple laser irradiations, so we developed stabilized PAI probes using IC7-1-Bu as a lead compound. We focused on the effect of singlet oxygen (1O2) generated by excited PAI probes on probe degeneration. We introduced a triplet-state quencher (TSQ) moiety into IC7-1-Bu to quench 1O2 generation and designed three IC-n-T derivatives with different linker lengths (n indicates linker length). The IC-n-T derivatives emitted in vitro PA signals that were comparable to IC7-1-Bu and significantly reduced 1O2 generation while showing improved photostability against multiple irradiations. Of the three derivatives evaluated, IC-5-T accumulated in tumors effectively to allow clear PAI of tumors in vivo. Furthermore, the photostability of IC-5-T was 1.5-fold higher than that of IC7-1-Bu in in vivo sequential PAI. These results suggest that IC-5-T is a potential PAI probe for in vivo sequential tumor imaging.
