JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 359:120954.

Abstract
Plastic products' widespread applications and their non-biodegradable nature have resulted in the continuous accumulation of microplastic waste, emerging as a significant component of ecological environmental issues. In the field of microplastic detection, the intricate morphology poses challenges in achieving rapid visual characterization of microplastics. In this study, photoacoustic imaging technology is initially employed to capture high-resolution images of diverse microplastic samples. To address the limited dataset issue, an automated data processing pipeline is designed to obtain sample masks while effectively expanding the dataset size. Additionally, we propose Vqdp2, a generative deep learning model with multiple proxy tasks, for predicting six forms of microplastics data. By simultaneously constraining model parameters through two training modes, outstanding morphological category representations are achieved. The results demonstrate Vqdp2's excellent performance in classification accuracy and feature extraction by leveraging the advantages of multi-task training. This research is expected to be attractive for the detection classification and visual characterization of microplastics.

Abstract
We report a dual-signal chemical exchange saturation transfer (Dusi-CEST) strategy for drug delivery and detection in living cells. The two signals can be detected by operators in complex environments. This strategy is demonstrated on a cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) nanoparticle probe, as an example. The CB[6] probe is equipped with two kinds of hydrophobic cavities: one is found inside CB[6] itself, whereas the other exists inside the nanoparticle. When the probe is dispersed in aqueous solution as part of a hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR experiment, two signals appear at two different chemical shifts (100 and 200 ppm). These two resonances correspond to the NMR signals of 129Xe in the two different cavities. Upon loading with hydrophobic drugs, such as paclitaxel, for intracellular drug delivery, the two resonances undergo significant changes upon drug loading and cargo release, giving rise to a metric enabling the assessment of drug delivery success. The simultaneous change of Dusi-CEST likes a mobile phone that can receive both LTE and Wi-Fi signals, which can help reduce the occurrence of false positives and false negatives in complex biological environments and help improve the accuracy and sensitivity of single-shot detection.

Abstract
As a basic parameter of the intracellular microenvironment, viscosity is closely related to the development of cancer. Thus, it is necessary to utilize a sensitive tool to visualize the viscosity in tumor cells and mice, which is helpful for the diagnosis of cancer. Herein, a novel dual-modal probe (IX-V) that has a near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) response to viscosity is synthesized. In low viscosity media, the probe has no fluorescence. With the increase of viscosity, the fluorescence is produced in the near-infrared region due to the inhibition of the TICT process. At the same time, the probe shows different photoacoustic (PA) signals in different viscosity media. Most notably, the viscosity in tumor cells has been imaged successfully by the application of IX-V, and the probe can effectively distinguish cancer cells from normal cells co-cultured in one dish by the difference of fluorescence intensity. In addition, the probe has been used for dual-modal imaging (NIRF and PA) of viscosity in tumor mice, which provides a tool for exploring the relationship between viscosity and diseases. That is to say, IX-V can achieve complementary imaging effects and has great application prospects in the tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) refer to a collection of conditions characterized by abnormalities in the cardiovascular system. They are a global problem and one of the leading causes of mortality and disability. Nanotheranostics implies to the combination of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities inside a single nanoscale platform that has allowed for significant advancement in cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy. These advancements are being developed to improve imaging capabilities, introduce personalized therapies, and boost cardiovascular disease patient treatment outcomes. Significant progress has been achieved in the integration of imaging and therapeutic capabilities within nanocarriers. In the case of cardiovascular disease, nanoparticles provide targeted delivery of therapeutics, genetic material, photothermal, and imaging agents. Directing and monitoring the movement of these therapeutic nanoparticles may be done with pinpoint accuracy by using imaging modalities such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), photoacoustic/ultrasound, and fluorescence imaging. Recently, there has been an increasing demand of noninvasive for multimodal nanotheranostic platforms. In these platforms, various imaging technologies such as optical and magnetic resonance are integrated into a single nanoparticle. This platform helps in acquiring more accurate descriptions of cardiovascular diseases and provides clues for accurate diagnosis. Advances in surface functionalization methods have strengthened the potential application of nanotheranostics in cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy. In this Review, we have covered the potential impact of nanomedicine on CVDs. Additionally, we have discussed the recently developed various nanoparticles for CVDs imaging. Moreover, advancements in the CMR, CT, PET, ultrasound, and photoacoustic imaging for the CVDs have been discussed. We have limited our discussion to nanomaterials based clinical trials for CVDs and their patents.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), the most abundant nonprotein biothiol, is a significant endogenous molecule that plays a key role in redox equilibrium in vivo and is regarded as a critical biomarker of cancer. Currently, various fluorescent probes have been designed and synthesized for imaging GSH at the cellular level in the visible range and the first near-infrared window (NIR-I, 750-900 nm). However, the application of these fluorescent probes for bioimaging and biosensing in vivo has been extremely hindered by the high biobackground and low tissue penetration. Herein, based on the self-assembly and disassembly of J-aggregation, we designed and synthesized a GSH-activatable probe MC-PSE for second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence and ratiometric photoacoustic imaging of GSH in vivo. The anionic cyanine-based MC-PSE tends to form stable J-aggregates in an aqueous solution. Upon the reaction with GSH, the J-aggregates of MC-PSE disassembled, the emission peak intensity of MC-PSE at 940 nm significantly increased by about 20 times, and the PA900/PA980 ratio increased by 4 times within 15 min in vitro. Notably, we used MC-PSE to visualize GSH in tumor-bearing mice and to distinguish normal and tumor areas successfully by virtue of NIR-II FL and PA dual-modal imaging. The design strategy of MC-PSE provides a novel method for ratiometric photoacoustic imaging, and MC-PSE is expected to be a powerful tool for the accurate detection of GSH in cancer diagnosis.

[PMID: 36925681 PMCID: PMC10013779 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is a hybrid imaging modality that combines optical excitation and acoustic detection techniques. It obtains high-resolution deep-tissue images based on the deep penetration of light, the anisotropy of light absorption in objects, and the photoacoustic effect. Hence, PACT shows great potential in biomedical sample imaging. Recently, due to its advantages of high sensitivity to optical absorption and wide scalability of spatial resolution with the desired imaging depth, PACT has received increasing attention in preclinical and clinical practice. To date, there has been a proliferation of PACT systems designed for specific biomedical imaging applications, from small animals to human organs, from ex vivo to in vivo real-time imaging, and from simple structural imaging to functional and molecular imaging with external contrast agents. Therefore, it is of great importance to summarize the previous applications of PACT systems in biomedical imaging and clinical practice. In this review, we searched for studies related to PACT imaging of biomedical tissues and samples over the past two decades; divided the studies into two categories, PACT imaging of preclinical animals and PACT imaging of human organs and body parts; and discussed the significance of the studies. Finally, we pointed out the future directions of PACT in biomedical applications. With the development of exogenous contrast agents and advances of imaging technique, in the future, PACT will enable biomedical imaging from organs to whole bodies, from superficial vasculature to internal organs, from anatomy to functions, and will play an increasingly important role in biomedical research and clinical practice.

Abstract
Some important biological species and microenvironments maintain a complex and delicate dynamic balance in life systems, participating in the regulation of various physiological processes and playing indispensable roles in maintaining the healthy development of living bodies. Disruption of their homeostasis in living organisms can cause various diseases and even death. Therefore, real time monitoring of these biological species and microenvironments during different physiological and pathological processes is of great significance. Fluorescent-probe-based techniques have been recognized as one of the most powerful tools for real time imaging in biological samples. In this Account, we introduce the representative works from our group in the field of fluorescent probes for biological imaging capable of detecting metal ions, small bioactive molecules, and the microenvironment. The design strategies of small molecule fluorescent probes and their applications in biological imaging will be discussed. By regulating the design strategy and mechanism (e.g., ICT, PeT, and FRET) of the electronic and spectral characteristics of the fluorescent platforms, these chemical probes show high selectivity and diverse functions, which can be used for imaging of various physiological and pathological processes. Through the exploration of the rational response mechanism and design strategy, combined with a variety of imaging techniques, such as super-resolution imaging, photoacoustic (PA) imaging, etc., we have realized multimode imaging of the important biological analytes from the subcellular level to the in vivo level, which provides powerful means to study the physiological and pathological functions of these species and microenvironments. This Account aims to offer insights and inspiration for the development of novel fluorescent probes for biological imaging, which could provide powerful tools for the study of chemical biology. Overall, we represent a series of turn-on/turn-off/ratiometric fluorescent/PA probes to visually and dynamically trace biological species and microenvironments in cells and even in vivo that seek higher resolution and depth molecular imaging to improve diagnostic methods and clarify new discoveries related to chemical biology. Our future efforts will be devoted to developing multiorganelle targeted fluorescent probes to study the mechanism of subcellular organelle interaction and employing various dual-mode probes of NIR II and PA imaging to investigate the development of related diseases and treat the related diseases at subcellular and in vivo levels.

Abstract
Fluorescent labels and biosensors play central roles in biological and medical research. Targeted to specific biomolecules or cells, they allow noninvasive imaging of the machinery that govern cells and organisms in real time. Recently, chemogenetic reporters made of organic dyes specifically anchored to genetic tags have challenged the paradigm of fully genetically encoded fluorescent proteins. Combining the advantage of synthetic fluorophores with the targeting selectivity of genetically encoded tags, these chemogenetic reporters open new exciting prospects for studying cell biochemistry and biology. In this Account, we present the growing toolbox of fluorescence-activating and absorption-shifting tags (FASTs), small monomeric proteins of 14 kDa (125 amino acids residues) that can be used as markers to monitor gene expression and protein localization in live cells and organisms. Engineered by directed protein evolution from the photoactive yellow protein (PYP) from the bacterium Halorhodospira halophila, prototypical FAST binds and stabilizes the fluorescent state of live-cell compatible hydroxybenzylidene rhodanine chromophores. This class of chromophores are normally dark when free in solution or in cells because they dissipate light energy through nonradiative processes. The protein cavity of FAST allows the stabilization of the deprotonated state of the chromophore and blocks the chromophore into a planar conformation, which leads to highly fluorescent protein-chromophore assemblies. The use of such fluorogenic dyes (also called fluorogens) enables the imaging of FAST fusion proteins in cells with high contrast without the need to remove unbound ligands through separate washing steps. Fluorogens with various spectral properties exist nowadays allowing investigators to adjust the spectral properties of FAST to their experimental conditions. Molecular engineering allowed furthermore to generate membrane-impermeant fluorogens for the selective labeling of cell-surface proteins. Over the years, we generated a collection of FAST variants with expanded spectral properties or fluorogen selectivity using a concerted strategy involving molecular engineering and directed protein evolution. Moreover, protein engineering allowed us to adapt FASTs for the design of fluorescent biosensors. Circular permutation enabled the generation of FAST variants with increased conformational flexibility for the design of biosensors in which fluorogen binding is conditioned to the recognition of a given analyte. Bisection of FASTs into two complementary fragments allowed us furthermore to create split variants with reversible complementation that allow the detection and imaging of dynamic protein-protein interactions. We provide, here, a general overview of the current state of development of these different systems and their applications for advanced live cell imaging and biosensing and discuss potential future directions.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), an emerging biomedical imaging technology, capitalizes on a wide range of endogenous chromophores and exogenous contrast agents to offer detailed information related to the functional and molecular content of diseased biological tissues. Compared with traditional imaging technologies, PAI offers outstanding advantages, such as a higher spatial resolution, deeper penetrability in biological tissues, and improved imaging contrast. Based on nanomaterials and small molecular organic dyes, a huge number of contrast agents have recently been developed as PAI probes for disease diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we report the recent advances in the development of nanomaterials and organic dye-based PAI probes. The current challenges in the field and future research directions for the designing and fabrication of PAI probes are proposed.

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
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a rapidly developing non-surgical therapy that initiates sensitizers’ catalytic reaction using ultrasound, showing great potential for cancer treatment due to its high safety and non-invasive nature. In addition, recent research has found that using different diagnostic and therapeutic methods in tandem can lead to better anticancer outcomes. Therefore, as essential components of SDT, sonosensitizers have been extensively explored to optimize their functions and integrate multiple medical fields. The review is based on five years of articles evaluating the combined use of SDT and imaging in treating cancer. By developing multifunctional sonosensitive particles that combine imaging and sonodynamic therapy, we have integrated diagnosis into the treatment of precision medicine applications, improving SDT cell uptake and antitumor efficacy utilizing different tumour models. This paper describes the imaging principle and the results of cellular and animal imaging of the multifunctional sonosensitizers. Efforts are made in this paper to provide data and design references for future SDT combined imaging research and clinical application development and to provide offer suggestions.

Abstract
Specific tumor-responsive capabilities and efficient synergistic therapeutic performance are the keys to effective tumor treatment. Herein, AuNRs@SiO2-RB@MnO2 was developed as a new type of tumor-responsive nanotheranostic for multimodal imaging and synergistic chemodynamic/photothermal therapy. In AuNRs@SiO2-RB@MnO2, the SiO2 layer wraps the AuNRs, providing light absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) region. The SiO2 layer also adsorbs the MnO2 nanosheets, which have Fenton-like activity, resulting in a fluorescent sensing platform based on the fluorescence quenching properties of MnO2 for rhodamine B dye. The fluorescence can be recovered by the consumption of MnO2 by glutathione, which simultaneously produces Mn2+ in the tumor region. The recovery of fluorescence reflects the consumption of glutathione and the increase in Mn2+, which produces hydroxyl radicals via Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment to realize chemodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, the AuNRs are a good photothermal reagent that can effectively absorb NIR-II light and convert it into heat energy to kill tumor cells via photothermal therapy. The NIR-II absorption performance of the AuNRs provides good photoacoustic imaging and deep photothermal performance, which is favorable for efficient NIR-II photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy. As a result, the AuNRs@SiO2-RB@MnO2 nanotheranostic exhibits outstanding imaging and synergistic chemodynamic/photothermal therapeutic performance for tumor imaging and treatment.

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
Imaging techniques, including magnetic, optical, acoustic and nuclear imaging, are gaining popularity as a research tool and clinical diagnostics. The advent of imaging agents-incorporated nanosystems (NSs), with sufficient contrast and high resolution, facilitates better monitoring of disease progression, targeted delivery and therapeutic process. Of note, the size of NSs remarkably affects imaging performance, while both large and small NSs enjoy respective features and superiority for imaging aspect, including penetration depth, signal-to-background ratio and spatiotemporal resolution. In this review, after a systematic summary of the basic knowledge of imaging techniques and its relation with size-tunable strategies, we further provide insights into the opportunities and challenges facing size-transformable NSs of the future for bio-imaging application and clinical translation.

Abstract
Intracellular bioactive molecules are essential for the maintenance of homeostasis in living organisms. Abnormal levels of them are closely related to the occurrence and development of some diseases. Hence, the direct and accurate visualization of these bioactive molecules is of vital importance for exploring their pathological roles. However, the low-content, short-lived, and widely distributed properties of bioactive molecules impede the comprehensive analysis of them dramatically. Fluorescent and photoacoustic dual-mode imaging technology provides a new solution to the above issue. Specifically, the combination of fluorescence and photoacoustic, which possesses the advantages of high resolution and in-depth tissue analysis, enables a more in-depth and systematic exploration of the pathogenic mechanisms of bioactive molecules. Moreover, due to the structural tailorability of small molecule probes, numerous small molecule dual-mode probes have been developed to meet the demand for real-time tracking and visualization of bioactive molecules in living cells or in vivo. Hence, in this review, we briefly summarize the key advances in small molecule fluorescence and photoacoustic dual-modal probes within recent years (2015-2021). A particular focus is placed on the design strategies and biological applications of probes for the detection of various bioactive molecules in vivo . Furthermore, the challenges and further prospects in this hot field are highlighted.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer. Given its inconspicuous and atypical early symptoms and hidden location, most patients have already reached the terminal stage before diagnosis. At present, the diagnosis of PDAC mainly depends on serological and imaging examinations. However, serum tests cannot identify specific tumor locations and each imaging technology has its own defects, bringing great challenges to the early diagnosis of PDAC. Therefore, it is of great significance to find new strategies for the early and accurate diagnosis of PDAC. In recent years, a magneto-optical nanoplatform integrating near infrared fluorescence, photoacoustic, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. has attracted widespread attention, giving full play to the complementary advantages of each imaging modality. Herein, we summarize the recent advances of imaging modalities in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and then discuss in detail the construction and modification of magneto or/and optical probes for multimodal imaging, and advances in early diagnosis using the combination of various imaging modalities, which can provide potential tools for the early diagnosis or even intraoperative navigation and post-treatment follow-up of PDAC patients.

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. Then we will particularly summarize the general design principles for the alteration of PA signals and activatable strategies for developing precise PA probes. Furthermore, we will give a detailed discussion of activatable PA probes in molecular detection and biomedical imaging applications in living systems. At last, the current challenges and outlooks of future PA probes will be discussed. We hope that this review will stimulate new ideas to explore the potentials of activatable PA probes for precise biomedical applications in the future.

Abstract
The synergetic photodynamic/photothermal therapy, activated via a single-second near-infrared (NIR-II) laser and guided by photoacoustic imaging (PAI), receives significant attention for precise in vivo therapy. However, due to the lack of a corresponding theranostic agent, it faces a great challenge for practical clinical implementation. Here, we present a single diagnostic and therapeutic nanoplatform named carbon nitride nanoparticles (CN-NPs) for efficient NIR-II PAI-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT). The CN-NPs were obtained by incorporating an aromatic compound (PTCDA) with a large π-structure into melem by high-temperature polymerization. The absorption of the obtained CN-NPs was significantly enhanced compared with pristine melem. Under 1064 nm laser illumination, sufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by CN-NPs could reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, the CN-NPs exhibited an efficient PTT effect through improved photothermal stability and high photo-to-heat conversion efficiency (47.6%). We were also able to monitor the accumulation and metabolism of CN-NPs in vivo of mice in real time using PAI. The in vivo experiments proved that the CN-NPs could inhibit tumor growth and recurrence completely under 1064 nm. Thus, the proposed innovative strategy would open a new avenue to explore and construct NIR-II responsive nanoplatforms with enhanced performance and safety for multimodal phototheranostics.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a well-known feature of malignant solid tumors. To explain the misinterpretation of tumor hypoxia variation during chemotherapy, we developed a DNA origami-based theranostic nanoplatform with an intercalated anticancer anthraquinone as both the chemotherapeutic drug and the photoacoustic contrast agent. The size distribution of the DNA origami nanostructure is 44.5 ± 2.3 nm, whereas the encapsulation efficiency of the drug is 90.7 ± 1.0%, and the drug loading content is 92.2 ± 0.1%. The controlled cumulative release rates were measured in vitro, showing an acidic environment induced rapid drug release. The values of free energy of binding between the drugs and the DNA double helix were calculated through molecular simulations. The cell viability assay was used to characterize cytotoxicity, and fluorescence confocal cell imaging illustrates the biodistribution of the probe in vitro. Photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging were used to indicate drug delivery, release, and biodistribution to predict the drug's chemotherapeutic effect in vivo, whereas the photoacoustic signals were compared with those of deoxygenated/oxygenated hemoglobin to represent the tissue hypoxia/normoxia maps during the chemotherapeutic process and indicate alleviated tumor hypoxia. Staining of tissue sections taken from organs and tumors was used to verify the results of photoacoustic imaging. Our results suggest that photoacoustic imaging can visualize this DNA origami-based theranostic nanoplatform and reveal the mechanisms of chemotherapy on tumor hypoxia.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has received substantial attention and poses a serious threat to human health. Although antibiotics can effectively fight against bacterial infection, the occurrence of antibiotic resistance has become increasingly serious in recent years, which tremendously hinders its clinical application. Consequently, it is urgent to explore novel strategies to achieve efficacious treatment of bacterial diagnosis and detection. Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanomaterial has been extensively reported in tumor therapy. Nevertheless, there are few antibacterial reviews of MnO2. Herein, we will discuss the applications of MnO2 in the detection and treatment of bacterial infection, including photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, improvement of hypoxia, dual-modal combination therapy, reactive oxygen species scavenging, magnetic resonance imaging, optical application of acoustic imaging, and so forth. This review is expected to provide meaningful guidance on further research of MnO2 nanomaterial for antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Purpose Abnormal tau accumulation within the brain plays an important role in tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. High-resolution imaging of tau deposits at the whole-brain scale in animal disease models is highly desired. Methods We approached this challenge by non-invasively imaging the brains of P301L mice of 4-repeat tau with concurrent volumetric multi-spectral optoacoustic tomography (vMSOT) at ~ 115 μm spatial resolution using the tau-targeted pyridinyl-butadienyl-benzothiazole derivative PBB5 (i.v.). In vitro probe characterization, concurrent vMSOT and epi-fluorescence imaging of in vivo PBB5 targeting (i.v.) was performed in P301L and wild-type mice, followed by ex vivo validation using AT-8 antibody for phosphorylated tau. Results PBB5 showed specific binding to recombinant K18 tau fibrils by fluorescence assay, to post-mortem Alzheimer’s disease brain tissue homogenate by competitive binding against [11C]PBB3 and to tau deposits (AT-8 positive) in post-mortem corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy brains. Dose-dependent optoacoustic and fluorescence signal intensities were observed in the mouse brains following i.v. administration of different concentrations of PBB5. In vivo vMSOT brain imaging of P301L mice showed higher retention of PBB5 in the tau-laden cortex and hippocampus compared to wild-type mice, as confirmed by ex vivo vMSOT, epi-fluorescence, multiphoton microscopy, and immunofluorescence staining. Conclusions We demonstrated non-invasive whole-brain imaging of tau in P301L mice with vMSOT system using PBB5 at a previously unachieved ~ 115 μm spatial resolution. This platform provides a new tool to study tau spreading and clearance in a tauopathy mouse model, foreseeable in monitoring tau targeting putative therapeutics.

Abstract
Early detection of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), the potential biomarker of lung cancer, is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and evaluation of lung cancer. Currently, little progress of HNE-activated probes has been made for in vivo imaging. Herein, assisted by probe-active pocket match engineering, we synthesized a series of near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) duplex imaging probes by conjugating diverse fluorinated amide chains onto hemi-cyanine. Finally, we identified that probe 2 (denoted as LET-8), with the pentafluoroethyl group, is a superior probe to detect HNE with the best selectivity as well as good response ability and thus successfully realized NIRF/PA duplex imaging of HNE activity both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The unmet need to develop novel approaches for cancer diagnosis and treatment has led to the evolution of theranostic agents, which usually include, in addition to the anticancer drug, an imaging agent based mostly on fluorescent agents. Over the past few years, a non-invasive photoacoustic imaging modality has been effectively integrated into theranostic agents. Herein, we shed light on the design principles governing the development of theranostic agents with photoacoustic properties, which can be formulated into nanocarriers to enhance their potency. Specifically, we provide an extensive analysis of their individual constituents including the imaging dyes, drugs, linkers, targeting moieties, and their formulation into nanocarriers. Along these lines, we present numerous relevant paradigms. Finally, we discuss the clinical relevance of the specific strategy, as also the limitations and future perspectives, and through this review, we envisage paving the way for the development of theranostic agents endowed with photoacoustic properties as effective anticancer medicines.

[PMID: 34917596 PMCID: PMC8669651 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.762956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG), a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has been extensively used as a photoacoustic (PA) probe for PA imaging. However, its practical application is limited by poor photostability in water, rapid body clearance, and non-specificity. Herein, we fabricated a novel biomimetic nanoprobe by coating ICG-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles with the cancer cell membrane (namely, CMI) for PA imaging. This probe exhibited good dispersion, large loading efficiency, good biocompatibility, and homologous targeting ability to Hela cells in vitro. Furthermore, the in vivo and ex vivo PA imaging on Hela tumor-bearing nude mice demonstrated that CMI could accumulate in tumor tissue and display a superior PA imaging efficacy compared with free ICG. All these results demonstrated that CMI might be a promising contrast agent for PA imaging of cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
In this chapter, we summarize the advantages of photoacoustic imaging and the current methods of enhancing photoacoustic. We then provide detailed procedures for the synthesis and characterization of a photoacoustic imaging molecule, Nano(O-Nonacene)-PEG, developed in our research group. At the same time, we proved that the incorporation of Zn0.4Fe2.6O4 can enhance the photoacoustic imaging effect of Nano(O-Nonacene)-PEG. This provides a new material for photoacoustic imaging to guide tumor treatment.

Abstract
Optoacoustic or photoacoustic imaging (OAI/PAI) is a technology which enables non-invasive visualization of laser-illuminated tissue by the detection of acoustic signals. The combination of "light in" and "sound out" offers unprecedented scalability with a high penetration depth and resolution. The wide range of biomedical applications makes this technology a versatile tool for preclinical and clinical research. Particularly when imaging inflammation, the technology offers advantages over current clinical methods to diagnose, stage, and monitor physiological and pathophysiological processes. This review discusses the clinical perspective of using OAI in the context of imaging inflammation as well as in current and emerging translational applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging non-invasive therapeutic technique. SDT-based cancer therapy strategies are presently underway, and it may be perceived as a promising approach to improve the efficiency of anti-cancer treatment. In this work, multifunctional theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized for synergistic starvation therapy and SDT by loading glucose oxidase (GOx, termed G) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) porphyrin) Cl (T (p-Cl) PPMnCl, termed PMnC) in Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) NPs (designated as MG@P NPs). RESULTS On account of the peroxidase-like activity of PMnC, MG@P NPs can catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor regions to produce oxygen (O2), thus enhancing synergistic therapeutic effects by accelerating the decomposition of glucose and promoting the production of cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) induced by ultrasound (US) irradiation. Furthermore, the NPs can also serve as excellent photoacoustic (PA)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agents, effectuating imaging-guided cancer treatment. CONCLUSION Multifunctional MG@P NPs can effectuate the synergistic amplification effect of cancer starvation therapy and SDT by hypoxia modulation, and act as contrast agents to enhance MR/PA dual-modal imaging. Consequently, MG@P NPs might be a promising nano-platform for highly efficient cancer theranostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Myocardial infarction (MI) is a serious threat to public health. The early identification of MI is important to promote appropriate treatment strategies for patients. Recently, strategies targeting extracellular matrix (ECM) components have gained attention. Fibrin is an ECM protein involved after MI. In this work, we constructed fibrin-targeted nanoparticles (NPs) by co-assembling a fibrin-targeted peptide (CREKA) and indocyanine green (ICG) and used them to enhance photoacoustic (PA) imaging for noninvasive detection of the infarct region to help diagnose MI. METHODS ICG NPs modified with CREKA were prepared (CREKA-ICG-LIP NPs). Then, the fundamental characteristics, stability, safety, and targeting ability of the NPs were detected. Finally, in an ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury model, the performance of the NPs in detecting the infarct region in the model on PA imaging was evaluated. RESULTS CREKA-ICG-LIP NPs were successfully constructed and showed excellent basic characteristics, a high safety level, and an excellent targeting ability. After intravenous injection, the CREKA-ICG-LIP NPs accumulated in the injured region in the IR model. Then, the PA signal in the infarct region could be detected by the ultrasound transducer of the Vevo LAZR Photoacoustic Imaging System. CONCLUSION This work provides new insights for non-invasive, real-time imaging techniques to detect the region of myocardial injury and help diagnose MI based on a PA imaging system with high sensitivity in optical imaging and deep penetration in ultrasound imaging.

Abstract
Optical imaging is a facile tool for visualizing biological processes and disease progression, but its image quality is largely limited by light-induced autofluorescence or background signals. To overcome this issue, low-background optical-imaging techniques including chemiluminescence imaging, afterglow imaging and photoacoustic imaging have been developed, based on their unique working mechanisms, which are: the detection of light emissions from chemical reactions, the cessation of light excitation before signal collection, and the detection of ultrasonic signals instead of light signals, respectively. Stimuli-responsive probes are highly desirable for improved imaging results since they can significantly reduce surrounding interference signals. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are closely implicated in a series of diseases such as cancer and inflammation, are frequently employed as initiators for responsive agents to selectively change the imaging signal. Thus, ROS-responsive agents incorporated into low-background imaging techniques can achieve a more promising imaging quality. In this review, recent advances in ROS-responsive probes for low-background optical-imaging techniques are summarized. Moreover, the approaches to improving the sensitivity of probes and tissue penetration depth are discussed in detail. In particular, we highlight the reaction mechanisms between the probes and ROS, revealing the potential for low-background optical imaging.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) involves the catalytic generation of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (. OH) from hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) through metal-ion-mediated Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. Fe2+ is a classical catalyst ion, however, it suffers easy oxidation and systemic side-effects. Therefore, the development of a controllable Fe2+ delivery system is a challenge to maintain its valence state, reduce toxicity, and improve therapeutic efficacy. Reported here is a near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered Fe2+ delivery agent (LET-6) for fluorescence (FL) and photoacoustic (PA) dual-modality imaging guided, photothermal primed CDT. Thermal expansion caused by 808 nm laser irradiation triggers the transformation of LET-6 to expose Fe2+ from its hydrophobic layer, which primes the catalytic breakdown of endogenous H2 O2 within the tumor microenvironment, thus generating . OH for enhanced CDT. LET-6 shows remarkable therapeutic effects, both in vitro and in vivo, achieving 100 % tumor elimination after just one treatment. This high-performance Fe2+ delivery system provides a sound basis for future synergistic metal-ion-mediated cancer therapy.

Abstract
The detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) is extremely important for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Herein, we report a dual-round signal amplification strategy for colorimetric/fluorescence/photoacoustic triple read-out detection of PSA using a silica coated Au@Ag core-shell nanorod (denoted Au@Ag@SiO2) based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system. In the presence of PSA, monoclonal primary antihuman PSA antibody (Ab1) captured PSA and was subsequently recognized by the secondary antihuman PSA detection antibody (Ab2) which was conjugated with glucose oxidase (GOx) functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) for signal amplification, then GOx catalyses the addition of glucose to generate hydrogen peroxide that etches the silver layer in Au@Ag@SiO2, thus producing abundant Ag+ to realize the second signal amplification. With the degradation of the silver layer, an obvious color change (green-to-pink) of the Au@Ag@SiO2 solution could be observed by the naked eye and its surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption had a red-shift, enhancing photoacoustic signal read-out at 780 nm. Additionally, the released Ag+ was caught by a Ag+-fluorescent probe (Ag+-FP) for enhanced fluorescence signal read-out. These results suggested that this ELISA system achieves a triple read-out detection of PSA. This work provides a promising strategy for multiple read-out detection of biomarkers, which has great potential in clinical diagnosis.

Herein, we developed highly photostable amphiphilic croconium dye-anchored red blood cell membrane vesicle (denoted as LET-5) for tumor pH-responsive near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) duplex imaging-guided photothermal therapy. In tumor acidic microenvironment, both NIRF and PA signals of LET-5 were significantly enhanced and the photothermal effect of LET-5 was activated. Notably, cell membrane-based vesicle with enhanced stability and long blood circulation significantly improved the tumor accumulation of croconium dye, thus achieving better therapeutic effect than free croconium dye. These findings provide a promising approach to construct amphiphilic dye-anchored cell membrane vesicle for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can gradually develop into hepatic failure, and early diagnosis is crucial to improve treatment efficiency. The occurrence of NAFLD is closely related to lipid metabolism. Peroxisomes act as the first and main site for lipid metabolism in the hepatocytes, so abnormal lipid metabolism might directly affect peroxisomal viscosity. Herein, we developed a new near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging probe (PV-1) for the real-time visualization of peroxisomal viscosity in vivo. This PV-1 encompasses the malononitrile group as the rotor, which emits strong NIRF (at 705 nm) and PA (at 680 nm) signals when rotation is hindered as viscosity increases. Through dual-mode imaging, we discovered distinctly higher viscosity in the liver of NAFLD mice for the first time. We further found the remarkable amelioration of NAFLD upon treatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Therefore, we anticipate that the PV-1 imaging method is promising for the early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of NAFLD.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy has received increasing attention for cancer treatments as an alternative to photodynamic therapy. However, its clinical applications have been limited by the lack of a sonosensitizer that is capable of producing sufficient amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to ultrasound (US) exposure. Herein, PEGylated mesoporous silica-titania nanoparticles (P-MSTNs) are prepared and used as US-responsive nanocarriers for cancer sonotheranostics. Perfluorohexane (PFH), which is chosen as the gas precursor, is physically encapsulated into P-MSTNs using the oil-in-water emulsion method. Owing to the vaporization of the gas precursor, PFH@P-MSTNs (137 nm in diameter) exhibit a strong photoacoustic signal in vivo for at least 6 h. Compared to P-MSTNs, PFH@P-MSTNs generate significantly higher amounts of ROS due to the nanobubble-induced cavitation in the presence of US. When systemically administered to tumor-bearing mice, PFH@P-MSTNs effectively accumulate in the tumor site due to the passive targeting mechanism. Consequently, PFH@P-MSTNs show much higher antitumor efficacy than P-MSTNs due to the enhanced cavitation-mediated ROS generation in response to US exposure. It is considered that PFH@P-MSTNs may hold significant potential for cancer sonotheranostics.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) probes have been developed very quickly and applied in broad areas in recent years. Most of them are constructed based on organic dyes with intrinsic near-infrared (NIR) absorption properties. To increase PA contrast and improve imaging resolution and the sensitivity of detection, various methods for the design of PA probes have been developed. This minireview mainly focuses on the development and design strategies of activatable small-molecule PA probes in four aspects: reaction-cleavage, metal ion chelation, photoswitch, and protonation-deprotonation. It highlights some key points of designing PA probes corresponding to their properties and applications. The challenges and perspectives for small-molecule PA probes are also discussed.

Abstract
A new photoacoustic (PA) dye was developed as a simple-to-use reagent for creating targeted PA imaging agents. The lead molecule was prepared via an efficient two-step synthesis from an inexpensive commercially available starting material. With the dye's innate albumin-binding properties, the resulting tetrazine-derived dye is capable of localizing to tumor and exhibits a biological half-life of a few hours, allowing for an optimized distribution profile. The presence of tetrazine in turn makes it possible to link the albumin-binding optoacoustic signaling agent to a wide range of targeting molecules. To demonstrate the utility and ease of use of the platform, a novel PA probe for imaging calcium accretion was generated using a single-step bioorthogonal coupling reaction where high-resolution PA images of the knee joint in mice were obtained as early as 1 h post injection. Whole-body distribution was subsequently determined by labeling the probe with 99mTc and performing tissue counting following necropsy. These studies, along with tumor imaging and in vitro albumin binding studies, revealed that the core PA contrast agent can be imaged in vivo and can be easily linked to targeting molecules for organ-specific uptake.

Abstract
Since their discovery in 1968, the BODIPYs dyes (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a diaza-s-indacene) have found an exponentially increasing number of applications in a large variety of scientific fields. In particular, studies reporting bioapplications of BODIPYs have increased dramatically. However, most of the time, only in vitro investigations have been reported. The in vivo potential of BODIPYs and aza-BODIPYs is more recent, but considering the number of in vivo studies with BODIPY and aza-BODIPY which have been reported in the last five years, we can now affirm that this family of fluorophores can be considered important as cyanine dyes for future in vivo and even clinical applications. This review aims to present representative examples of recent in vivo applications of BODIPYs or aza-BODIPYs, and to highlight the potential of these dyes for optical molecular imaging.
