Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1309:342673. [PMID: 38772656 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Over-consumption of drugs can result in drug-induced liver damage (DILI), which can worsen liver failure. Numerous studies have shown the significant role ferroptosis plays in the pathophysiology of DILI, which is typified by a marked imbalance between the generation and breakdown of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). The content of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) rapidly increased during this process and was thought to be a significant marker of early liver injury. Therefore, the construction of fluorescence probe for the detection and imaging of ONOO- holds immense importance in the early diagnosis and treatment of ferroptosis-mediated DILI. RESULTS We designed a probe DILI-ONOO based on the ICT mechanism for the purpose of measuring and visualizing ONOO- in ferroptosis-mediated DILI processes and associated studies. This probe exhibited significant fluorescence changes with good sensitivity, selectivity, and can image exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in cells with low cytotoxicity. Using this probe, we were able to show changes in ONOO- content in ferroptosis-mediated DILI cells and mice models induced by the intervention of acetaminophen (APAP) and isoniazid (INH). By measuring the concentration of ferroptosis-related indicators in mice liver tissue, we were able to validate the role of ferroptosis in DILI. It is worth mentioning that compared to existing alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) detection methods, this probe can achieve early identification of DILI prior to serious liver injury. SIGNIFICANCE This work has significant reference value in researching the relationship between ferroptosis and DILI and visualizing research. The results indicate a strong correlation between the progression of DILI and ferroptosis. Additionally, the use of DILI-ONOO shows promise in investigating the DILI process and assessing the effectiveness of medications in treating DILI.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), as an indispensable signaling molecule in organisms, is one of the key members of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, in vivo, real-time dynamic near-infrared fluorescence imaging of HOCl levels in the 1400-1700 nm sub-window (NIR-IIb) remains a major challenge due to the lack of suitable detection methods. Herein, a general design of HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe is proposed by integrating NaLuF4Yb/Er@NaLuF4 downshift nanoparticles (DSNPs) and HOCl recognition/NIR-IIb emissive modulation unit of M2-xS (M = Cu, Co, Pb) nanodots for real-time monitoring of HOCl levels. The fluorescence modulation unit of M2-xS nanodots presents remarkably enhanced absorption than Yb sensitizer at 980 nm and greatly inhibits the NIR-IIb fluorescence emission via competitive absorption mechanism. While, the M2-xS nanodots are easily degraded after triggering by HOCl, resulting in HOCl responsive turn-on (≈ten folds) NIR-IIb emission at 1532 nm. More importantly, in vivo highly precise and specific monitoring of inflammatory with abnormal HOCl expression is successfully achieved. Thus, the explored competitive absorption mediated quenching-activation mechanism provides a new general strategy of designing HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe for highly specific and sensitive HOCl detection.

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.

Combination of two-photon fluorescent probes for carboxylesterase and ONOO - to visualize the transformation of nonalcoholic fatty liver to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in liver orthotopic imaging. Talanta 2024; 270:125521. [PMID: 38091750 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
As the most common cause of liver diseases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can be classified into nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). While NAFL is generally benign, the transition from NAFL to NASH is a cardinal feature of the non-benign liver disease that leads to cirrhosis and cancer, which indicates that tracking the transformation of NAFL to NASH timely is significant for precision management of liver diseases. Therefore, two fluorescent probes (CNFCl and DRNO) have been developed to visualize this pathological event. α-Fluorochloroacetamide and α-ketoamide was employed as the recognition site for carboxylesterase (CE) in CNFCl and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in DRNO, respectively. CNFCl (λem = 445 nm) and DRNO (λem = 560 nm) showed high specificity and sensitivity towards CE and ONOO- respectively. By incubating with CE/ONOO- for 0.5 h respectively, both the emission intensity of CNFCl (linear range: 0-0.2 U/mL) and DRNO (linear range: 0-17.5 μM) displayed significant enhancement. As a result, the detection limit of CNFCl and DRNO for CE and ONOO- was calculated as 4.2 mU/L and 0.05 μM respectively. More importantly, the emission spectra of CNFCl and DRNO in the presence of CE and ONOO- respectively were cross-talk free under the two-photon excitation of 720 nm. This greatly facilitated the simultaneous detection of CE and ONOO- at distinctive channel, thus ensuring the high fidelity of the detection. These two probes were combined to image the fluctuation of CE and ONOO- during the conversion of NAFL to NASH in vitro and in vivo. It was found that while CE displayed a tendency to rise and then reduce during the transition from NAFL to NASH, ONOO- increased continuously, confirming that the combined imaging by CNFCl and DRNO might visualize the transformation of NAFL to NASH. The results provide robust visual tool to decipher the relationship between the stage of NAFLD and the level of CE/ONOO-. We anticipate this study may open new avenues to distinguish NASH from NAFL, which may further promote the study of intracellular biological activities of CE and the development of NAFLD diagnostic methods.

Abstract
Dynamic variations in the concentration and abnormal distribution of endogenous biomarkers are strongly associated with multiple physiological and pathological states. Therefore, it is crucial to design imaging systems capable of real-time detection of dynamic changes in biomarkers for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of diseases. Recently, ratiometric imaging has emerged as a widely used technique for sensing and imaging of biomarkers due to its advantage of circumventing the limitations inherent to conventional intensity-dependent signal readout methods while also providing built-in self-calibration for signal correction. Here, the recent progress of ratiometric probes and their applications in sensing and imaging of biomarkers are outlined. Ratiometric probes are classified according to their imaging mechanisms, and ratiometric photoacoustic imaging, ratiometric optical imaging including photoluminescence imaging and self-luminescence imaging, ratiometric magnetic resonance imaging, and dual-modal ratiometric imaging are discussed. The applications of ratiometric probes in the sensing and imaging of biomarkers such as pH, reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), glutathione (GSH), gas molecules, enzymes, metal ions, and hypoxia are discussed in detail. Additionally, this Review presents an overview of challenges faced in this field along with future research directions.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescent probe HZY was developed for monitoring the sulfite (SO32-) dynamics. For the first time, the SO32- triggered implement was applied in the acute liver injury (ALI) model. The levulinate was selected to achieve the specific and relatively steady recognition reaction. With the addition of SO32-, the fluorescence response of HZY exhibited a large Stokes shift of 110 nm under the 380 nm excitation. The merits included high selectivity under various pH conditions. Compared with the reported fluorescent probes for sulfite, HZY indicated above-moderate performances including remarkable and rapid response (40 folds, within 15 min), and high sensitivity (limit of detection = 0.21 μM). Further, HZY could visualize the exogenous and endogenous SO32- level in living cells. Moreover, HZY could gauge the changing levels of SO32- in three types (induced by CCl4, APAP, and alcohol) of ALI models. Both in vivo imaging and depth-of-penetration fluorescence imaging demonstrated that HZY could characterize the developmental and therapeutic status during the liver injury process by measuring the dynamic of SO32-. The successful implementation of this project would promote the accurate in-situ detection of SO32- in liver injury, which was expected to guide the pre-clinical diagnosis and clinical practice.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of thiols in cysteine (Cys) have been shown to be associated with growth retardation, skin lesions, and neurotoxicity in humans. Herein, we designed and synthesized a rare earth upconversion luminescent (UCL) nanocomposite probe UCNP-PEG-NOF1 for the UCL detection of Cys using NOF1 developed by our group as a Cys probe. The core structure of rare earth nanoparticles can absorb light at 980 nm and convert it into visible light. The detection principle of Cys was based on the change in absorption peak before and after the reaction between NOF1 and Cys, as well as the change in UCL intensity. The rare earth nanocomposite in the probe could be excited by near-infrared light and had low background fluorescence and strong penetration ability; thus, the probe was successfully employed to specifically and sensitively detect Cys with a low background signal. Overall, the developed UCNP-PEG-NOF1 probe had good selectivity and high sensitivity for Cys; its detection limit was as low as 83 nM.

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

Abstract
Fluorescent probes that emit in the far-red (600-700 nm), first near-infrared (NIR-I, 700-900 nm), and second NIR (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) regions possess unique advantages, including low photodamage and deep penetration into biological samples. Notably, NIR-II optical imaging can achieve tissue penetration as deep as 5-20 mm, which is critical for biomedical sensing and clinical applications. Much research has focused on developing far-red to NIR-II dyes to meet the needs of modern biomedicine. Flavylium compounds are natural colorants found in many flowers and fruits. Flavylium-inspired dyes are ideal platforms for constructing fluorescent probes because of their far-red to NIR emissions, high quantum yields, high molar extinction coefficients, and good water solubilities. The synthetic and structural diversities of flavylium dyes also enable NIR-II probe development, which markedly advance the field of NIR-II in vivo imaging. In the last decade, there have been huge developments in flavylium-inspired dyes and their applications as far-red to NIR fluorescent probes for biomedical applications. In this review, we highlight the optical properties of representative flavylium dyes, design strategies, sensing mechanisms, and applications as fluorescent probes for detecting and visualizing important biomedical species and events. This review will prompt further research not only on flavylium dyes, but also into all far-red to NIR fluorophores and fluorescent probes. Moreover, this interest will hopefully spillover into applications related to complex biological systems and clinical treatments, ranging in focus from the sub-organelle to whole-animal levels.

Abstract
The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism, photophysical properties of 8-(benzo[D] thiazole-2-yl)-7-hydroxy-2H-benzopyran-2-one (L-HKS) and the effect of O/Se atomic substitution on L-HKS have been studied in detail based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods. The S atom in the thiazole ring of L-HKS has been replaced by O/Se atom (denoted to L-HKO/L-HKSe) to analyze the effects of atomic electronegativity on the intramolecular H-bond, absorption/emission spectrum and ESIPT process. Through the analysis of series of calculated results, it can be found that the intramolecular H-bonds at normal form and tautomer form are enhanced and weakened in the S1 state, respectively, which is favorable to ESIPT process. The potential energy curves revealed that the ESIPT process is much easier to occur gradually from L-HKO to L-HKS and L-HKSe, as the electron-withdrawing ability of atom (from O to S and Se) is weakened. The atomic substitution also has an effect on the photophysical properties. From L-HKO to L-HKS, the emission peak at tautomer form red-shifts 70 nm. The energy gaps of the three compounds follow the decreased order of L-HKO (4.866 eV) > L-HKS (4.753 eV) > L-HKSe (4.371 eV) with the weakened electron-withdrawing ability of atom (from O to S and Se), which leads to the gradual red-shift of the absorption spectra from L-HKO to L-HKS and L-HKSe.

Abstract
As a kind of reactive oxygen species, peroxynitrite is related to various diseases closely such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Constructing probes with highly specific ability and a wide linear detection range for peroxynitrite detection is crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of related diseases and optimizing treatments. In this work, we developed a novel luminescent ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe (PC-CDs) based on carbon dots and phycocyanin. PC-CDs are constructed by amidation reaction between carbon dots and phycocyanin. The nanoprobe we obtained has a good ability of distinguishing peroxynitrite from other reactive oxygen species and interfering substances. Moreover, the linear range of the nanoprobe is 0.5-100 μM and the limit of detection is 0.5 μM when detecting peroxynitrite. In the spiked recovery experiments under phosphate buffered saline (PBS) environment, our nanoprobe has a good recovery performance and the recovery is 99% - 104%, which will be beneficial to the further development of peroxynitrite testing and the research progress of related diseases. Finally, we discuss the quenching mechanism of peroxynitrite for nanoprobe, and found that there is the combination of dynamic and static quenching in the quenching process.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescent probes could effectively offset the changes of the autofluorescence and compartmental localization. FRET, ICT, etc. are the common strategies to design probes for biosensing, but these strategies have some deficiencies. Here, we proposed a new design strategy based on π-conjugation modulation, giving two different emission bands in the absence and presence of the target. The new fluorescence probe named Rhod-DCM-B was rationally designed and synthesized, which displayed a fluorescence emission peak at 670 nm because the electron cloud focuses on the conjugated DCM unit. With the addition of ONOO-, the fluorescence emission at 570 nm increased, accompanied by the decrease of fluorescence emission at 670 nm, showing a ratiometric signal change attributed to the opened spirane structure making the electron cloud concentrated on the xanthene core. The mechanism is well confirmed by MS and DFT calculations. Rhod-DCM-B exhibited outstanding sensitivity and excellent selectivity toward ONOO-. Moreover, Rhod-DCM-B was effectively employed to determine endogenous and exogenous ONOO- in living cells. As a marker for inflammation and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) process, ONOO- in vivo was successfully monitored by Rhod-DCM-B and presented a dramatic ratiometric response.

Abstract
Liver injury-related diseases have aroused widespread concern due to its extreme unpredictability, acute onset, and severe consequences. Nowadays, the clinical prediction and assessment of liver injury mainly focus on histopathological and serological approaches, which undergoes a tedious process and sometimes requires invasive biopsy. Over the past decades, fluorescence imaging technique have emerged as a rising star for the diagnosis of diseases owing to its noninvasiveness, high fidelity and ease of operation. On regard to liver injury, the fluorescent probes have been delicately designed to response a variety of endogenous biomolecules to precisely offer comprehensive information about the lesion site. Herein, we make a brief summary and discussion about the design strategies and applications of the recently reported fluorescent biosensors responsive to a series of biomarkers involved in the liver injury. The potential prospects and remaining challenges are also discussed to promote the progression in this field.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), characterized by converting low-energy excitation to high-energy emission, have attracted considerable interest due to their inherent advantages of large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp and narrow multicolor emissions, negligible autofluorescence background interference, and excellent chemical- and photo-stability. These features make them promising luminophores for sensing applications. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanophosphors including the fundamental principle for the construction of UCNPs with efficient upconversion luminescence (UCL), followed by state-of-the-art strategies for the synthesis and surface modification of UCNPs, and finally describing current advances in the sensing application of upconversion-based probes for the quantitative analysis of various analytes including pH, ions, molecules, bacteria, reactive species, temperature, and pressure. In addition, emerging sensing applications like photodetection, velocimetry, electromagnetic field, and voltage sensing are highlighted.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a highly reactive nitrogen species (RNS) generated mainly in mitochondria, has been identified to be associated with numerous pathophysiological processes, and thus accurate ONOO- imaging with superior sensitivity and selectivity is highly desirable. Herein, we prepared a new type of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with mitochondria-targeting function without the aid of any targeting molecules via a simple one-step hydrothermal route. The as-prepared CQDs not only displayed relatively uniform size distribution, few surface defects, high photostability, and excellent biocompatibility but also exhibited good selective fluorescence turn-off response toward ONOO-, owing to the oxidation of amino groups on the surface of carbon dots. A great linear correlation between the quenching efficiency and ONOO- concentration in the range from 0.15 to 1.0 μM with a detection limit of 38.9 nM is shown. Moreover, the as-prepared CQDs acting as a functional optical probe through a self-targeting mechanism were successfully applied for in situ visualization of endogenous ONOO- generated in the mitochondria of live cells, providing great promise for elucidating the complex biological roles of ONOO- in related pathological processes.

Thus, it is vital to develop new tools for intervention and diagnosis. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a highly reactive species, plays an important role in the DIALI process. Thus, in situ molecular imaging of endogenous ONOO- levels is considerably significant for detecting ONOO-. In this work, we present two destroyed-type ratiometric fluorescent probes, AHC and AHMC, for ONOO- detection by using a molecular hybridization strategy. The probe AHMC was developed by introducing the ester structure to AHC directly to enhance its membrane penetrability for living cell imaging. Probe AHC exhibited good analytical performance toward ONOO- compared to other reactive species, with a low detection limit (≈1.8 nM) and a strong ratiometric fluorescence response (134-fold). In cell imaging experiments, AHMC showed outstanding selectivity, favourable biocompatibility and mitochondria-targeting ability, which not only was used to detect endogenous and exogenous ONOO- changes, but also enabled noninvasive visualization of ONOO- generation in a different drug-induced DIALI model. We hope that these ratiometric probes can be useful chemical tools for the in-depth research of drug-induced acute hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
In recent years, various methods for detecting exogenous and endogenous hypochlorite have been studied, considering its essential role as a biomolecule. However, the existing technologies still pose obstacles such as their invasiveness, high costs, and complicated operation. In the current study, we developed a glow-type chemiluminescent probe, hypochlorite chemiluminescence probe (HCCL)-1, based on the scaffold of Schaap's 1,2-dioxetane luminophores. To better explore the physiological and pathological functions of hypochlorite, we modified the luminophore scaffold of HCCL-1 to develop several probes, including HCCL-2, HCCL-3, and HCCL-4, which amplify the response signal of hypochlorite. By comparing the luminescent intensities of the four probes using the IVIS® system, we determined that HCCL-2 with a limit of detection of 0.166 μM has enhanced sensitivity and selectivity for tracking hypochlorite both in vitro and in vivo. Strategies for the design towards glow-type hypochlorite chemiluminescent probes. Methods to modify the hypochlorite luminophore scaffold. Applications of probes for the detection and imaging of hypochlorite in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
It is highly desired and challenging to construct integrated (all-in-one) single semiconducting-polymer-derived dot (Pdot) without any postmodification but with desired performances for bioapplications. In this work, eight hypochlorous acid (HClO)-sensitive integrated polymers and corresponding polymer-derived Pdots are designed through molecular engineering to comparatively study their analytical performances for detecting and imaging HClO. The optimized polymers-derived Pdots are obtained through regulating donor-acceptor structure, the content of HClO-sensitive units, and the position of HClO-sensitive units in the polymer backbone. The designed Pdots display distinguished characteristics including multicolours with blue, yellow, and red three primary fluorescence colors, determination mode from single-channel to dual-channel (ratiometric) quantification, ultrafast response, low detection limit, and high selectivity for ClO- sensing based on specific oxidation of ClO--sensitive unit 10-methylphenothiazine (PT) accompanied by altering the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) processes in Pdots. The prepared integrated Pdots are also applied for two-photon ClO- imaging in HeLa cells and one- and two-photon ClO- imaging produced in acute inflammation in mice with satisfactory results. We believe that the present study not only provides excellent integrated fluorescent nanoprobes for ClO- monitoring in living systems but also extends a general strategy for designing integrated semiconducting polymers and Pdots with desired performances for biological applications.

Abstract
Malignant tumors are one of the main causes for human death and are tightly associated with overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pathological processes. Therefore, in vivo monitoring of ROS, especially ONOO-, remains of great significance for diagnosis and therapy of tumors to improve the survival rate. Herein, we designed and constructed a reliable near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric fluorescent biosensor CDMS for monitoring the fluctuations of ONOO- in the process of tumor progression. CDMS featured outstanding stability to photoirradiation, substantial quantum yields, rapid response (<5 s), high selectivity and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, CDMS exhibited distinct ratiometric fluorescence signal changes after reacting with ONOO-. Fluorescence imaging in immune stimulated cells indicated that CDMS was competent to determine the levels of ONOO- in the cellular level. Remarkably, CDMS was further applied in monitoring the expression of ONOO- in a peritonitis mouse model and tumor-bearing mouse model. Based on the excellent properties of CDMS, the probe exhibited the potential for noninvasive in vivo visualization of ONOO- in the occurrence and process of tumor development. It is envisioned that CDMS can be employed as a promising tool for monitoring the ONOO- fluxes in tumor pathological progression, especially for tumor diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Research related to the development and application of luminescent nanoparticles (LNPs) for chemical and biological analysis and imaging is flourishing. Novel materials and new applications continue to be reported after two decades of research. This review provides a comprehensive and heuristic overview of this field. It is targeted to both newcomers and experts who are interested in a critical assessment of LNP materials, their properties, strengths and weaknesses, and prospective applications. Numerous LNP materials are cataloged by fundamental descriptions of their chemical identities and physical morphology, quantitative photoluminescence (PL) properties, PL mechanisms, and surface chemistry. These materials include various semiconductor quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene derivatives, carbon dots, nanodiamonds, luminescent metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles and downshifting nanoparticles, triplet-triplet annihilation nanoparticles, persistent-luminescence nanoparticles, conjugated polymer nanoparticles and semiconducting polymer dots, multi-nanoparticle assemblies, and doped and labeled nanoparticles, including but not limited to those based on polymers and silica. As an exercise in the critical assessment of LNP properties, these materials are ranked by several application-related functional criteria. Additional sections highlight recent examples of advances in chemical and biological analysis, point-of-care diagnostics, and cellular, tissue, and in vivo imaging and theranostics. These examples are drawn from the recent literature and organized by both LNP material and the particular properties that are leveraged to an advantage. Finally, a perspective on what comes next for the field is offered.

Abstract
When fabricating ratiometric optical probes using lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which are promising luminescent materials that have widely been utilized in biosensing and bioimaging as energy donors, it is still a challenge to obtain the emission signal of energy acceptors with reasons unclear so far. Herein, we reveal that the energy-transfer efficiency and brightness of UCNPs as well as the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) of energy accepting dyes are the main factors restricting the emission of energy acceptors, and we have circumvented this problem by modulating the structure of UCNPs and the assembly manner of the energy donor-acceptor pair. On this basis, a proof-of-concept ratiometric upconversion nanoprobe was constructed for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection with an elaborate dye Fl-1 as an energy acceptor. As the H2S concentration increased, the emission intensity of Fl-1 at 525 nm increased gradually, accompanied by a decrease of upconversion luminescence at 480 nm, thus providing a ratiometric signal of F480/F525 dependent on the H2S concentration. This probe was able to track H2S in living cells and zebrafish and visualize the H2S level of mice in physiological processes.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a persistent concern in drug discovery and clinical medicine. The current clinical methods to assay DILI by analyzing the enzymes in serum are still not optimal. Recent studies showed that fluorescent sensors would be efficient tools for detecting the concentration and distribution of DILI indicators with high sensitivity and specificity, in real-time, in situ, and with low damage to biosamples, as well as diagnosing DILI. This review focuses on the assessment of DILI, introduces the current mechanisms of DILI, and summarizes the design strategies of fluorescent sensors for DILI indicators, including ions, small molecules, and related enzymes. Some challenges for developing DILI diagnostic fluorescent sensors are put forward. We believe that these design strategies and challenges to evaluate DILI will inspire chemists and give them opportunities to further develop other fluorescent sensors for accurate diagnoses and therapies for other diseases.

Abstract
Metformin as a hypoglycemic drug for antidiabetic treatment has emerged as a multipotential drug for many disease treatments such as cognitive disorders, cancers, promoting weight loss. However, overdose uptake may upregulate the hepatic H2S level, subsequently leading to serious liver injury and toxicity. Therefore, developing intelligent second near-infrared (NIR-II) emitting nanoprobes by using endogenous H2S as a smart trigger for noninvasive highly specific in situ monitoring of the metformin-induced hepatotoxicity is highly desirable, which is rarely explored. Herein, an endogenous H2S activated orthogonal NIR-II emitting myrica rubra-like nanoprobe based on NaYF4:Gd/Yb/Er@NaYF4:Yb@SiO2 coated with Ag nanodots was explored for highly specific in vivo ratiometrically monitoring of hepatotoxicity. The designed nanoprobes were mainly uptaken by the liver and subsequently converted to NaYF4:Gd/Yb/Er@NaYF4:Yb@SiO2@Ag2S via in situ sulfuration reaction triggered by the overexpressed endogenous H2S in the injured liver tissues, finally leading to a turn-on orthogonal emission centered at 1053 nm (irradiation by 808 nm laser) and 1525 nm (irradiation by 980 nm laser). The designed nanoprobe presents a high detection limit down to 0.7 nM of H2S. More importantly, the in situ highly specific ratiometric imaging of the metformin-induced hepatotoxicity was successfully achieved by using the activatable orthogonal NIR-II emitting probe. Our results provide an NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence imaging strategy for highly sensitive/specific diagnosis of hepatotoxicity levels induced by metformin.

Abstract
Drug-induced acute liver injury (DIALI) is increasingly recognized as a significant cause of acute liver injury (ALI), which is characterized by a rapid loss of hepatocyte function in patients without pre-existing liver diseases. Evaluation of corresponding biomarkers, including alanine transaminase and aspartate amino transferase, is available as a diagnostic tool for hepatotoxicity. However, these blood tests have certain limitations: (1) they are generally not available for early estimation; (2) it is difficult to visualize and identify hepatotoxicity unambiguously in real-time; and (3) the biomarkers are not unique and are usually influenced by a variety of diseases, leading to potential false results. It is of grave importance and burgeoning demand to develop an early diagnostic approach for such diseases, but the ideal toolkit remains an unresolved challenge.As an alternative, molecular optical probes (fluorescence, chemiluminescence, bioluminescence, etc.) display a lot of advantages, such as high sensitivity, noninvasive fast analysis, and real-time in situ detection. They have emerged as potent and promising tools for the biomedical study of DIALI in living system. Until now, a number of optical probes for DIALI have been reported with some great potential for clinical trials. However, most of the probes still suffer from false signals because of the limitations in clinical application, including poor selectivity, low sensitivity, and biocompatibility. One key challenge that probes face in the ALI environment is the excessive exposure to reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and diffusivity, which may lead to false-positive or negative signals.Our group has employed multiple rational approaches to engineer high-performance optical probes for DIALI. With such development, we have successfully achieved the accurate detection of DIALI with minimal false signals both ex vivo and in vivo. While marching firmly toward understanding the biogenesis and progression of DIALI, we ultimately aim at the early stage clinical diagnosis of the disease, as well as mechanism understanding for clinical trials. In this Account, we summarize and present our three new approaches for the development of high-fidelity optical probes: (1) a combined screening and rational design strategy, (2) a double-locked probe design strategy, and (3) in situ imaging based on the release of a precipitating fluorochrome strategy. Using these strategies, we have formulated probes for a range of biological species that are biomarkers of DIALI, including reactive nitrogen species (ONOO-), reactive sulfur species (H2S and H2Sn), and enzymes (LAP, MAO, and ALP). We have highlighted the rationale for our design and screening strategy and methods to achieve high-fidelity optical probes. Some recent examples of optical probes developed by our laboratory and collaborations are mainly illustrated herein. We anticipate the strategies summarized here to inspire future molecular optical probe design, to contribute to studies of the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying liver diseases, and to improve the efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases in clinical settings.

Abstract
Organic dye based NIR-II fluorescent probes, owing to their high signal-to-background ratio and deeper penetration, are highly useful for deep-tissue high-contrast imaging in vivo. However, it is still a challenge to design activatable NIR-II fluorescent probes. Here, a novel class of polymethine dyes (NIRII-RTs), with bright (quantum yield up to 2.03 %), stable, and anti-solvent quenching NIR-II emission, together with large Stokes shifts, was designed. Significantly, the novel NIR-II dyes NIRII-RT3 and NIRII-RT4, equipped with a carboxylic acid group, can serve as effective NIR-II platforms for the design of activatable bioimaging probes with high contrast. As a proof of concept, a series of target-activatable NIRII-RT probes (NIRII-RT-pH, NIRII-RT-ATP and NIRII-RT-Hg) for pH, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and metal-ion detection, were synthesized. By applying the NIRII-RT probe, the real-time monitoring of drug-induced hepatotoxicity was realized.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a highly reactive species, is profoundly involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Change of the ONOO- level usually indicates an abnormal body function. Thus, it is desired to develop a highly reliable ONOO- assay to elucidate its roles in a related disease environment. In this work, we have constructed a ratiometric molecule fluorescent probe RTFP toward ONOO- with high specificity by the combination strategy of probe screening and a rational design method. RTFP displayed excellent detection sensitivity (detection limit: 4.1 nM) and produced a highly ratiometric emission signal (130-fold). Leveraging this probe, we showed the change of ONOO- content in the free-fatty-acid-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and acetaminophen-induced drug-induced liver injury (DILI) cellular model and for the first time disclosed the involved mechanism of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme in NAFLD with a DILI pathological environment. Furthermore, RTFP also was utilized to visualize ONOO- fluctuation of living liver tissues in a high-fat-diet-caused NAFLD model. We expected that this probe may help the study of liver injury in the exploration of mechanism and signal path.

Abstract
Because of the low tissue penetration depth and poor photostability of organic cyanine dye, in addition to environmental interference, it is a great challenge to monitor the degree of drug-induced hepatotoxicity by the in vivo detection of peroxynitrite (ONOO-). Herein, we fabricated heptamethine cyanine dye (P-cy7)-coordinated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), namely UCY7, as a fluorescent nanoprobe for evaluating drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Due to the luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) between UCNPs and the cyanine dye (P-cy7), the irradiation changed from visible light at 660 nm to near infrared (NIR) light at 980 nm; therefore, the issues of poor photostability and severe photobleaching of cyanine dye can be effectively solved. After injecting via the tail vein, the nanoprobes are rapidly concentrated in the liver. Since the level of ONOO- is up-regulated during the drug-induced liver injury, the LRET between UCNPs and P-cy7 is disrupted to release the upconversion luminescence at 656 nm, while the upconversion luminescence at 800 nm remains constant, thus achieving the ratio-fluorescent imaging (RFLI) of ONOO- in the liver to calibrate the influence of the environment. In addition, the reduction in the absorption of nanoprobes in the presence of ONOO- allows for sensitive photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Based on the RFLI and PAI of the liver, the real-time monitoring and accurate diagnosis of different degrees of hepatotoxicity using the model of Acetaminophen (APAP) induction was achieved successfully, providing a new approach for the clinical evaluation of drug-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Finding a method to control and detect the differentiation of stem cells in real time remains a challenge for regenerative medicine. Here we developed the multifunctional upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) approach for both near-infrared (NIR) control and the real-time detection of osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We first synthesized Tm/Er doped core-shell UCNPs (NaYF4:Yb/Tm/Er@NaYF4), and the core-shell UCNPs were coated with mesoporous silica for drug loading and installing photomechanical azobenzene (azo). Then the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide and the matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) sensitive peptide-black hole quencher-3 group (CGPLGVRGK-BHQ-3) were conjugated on the surface of UCNPs for cell targeting and detection of cell differentiation. The final multifunctional UCNPs are called UCNP@mSiO2-azo-peptide-BHQ-3. The drug icariin (ICA), which can induce the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, was loaded into UCNP@mSiO2-azo-peptide-BHQ-3 to form the UCNP nanocomplexes. ICA could be released from UCNP nanocomplexes in a NIR-controlled manner that is based on the transformation of the trans-isomer of azo into the cis isomer under the upconverted UV and visible light. Meanwhile, UCNP@mSiO2-azo-peptide-BHQ-3 could also be used as a nanoprobe to detect the activity of the MMP13 enzyme by enzyme digestion and UCNP fluorescence recovery. By detecting MMP13, which is produced by osteogenic differentiation, a real-time detection of cell differentiation in living differentiated MSCs could be achieved using UCNP nanoprobes. Thus, the multifunctional UCNPs combined the control of cell differentiation with the real-time detection of cell differentiation in MSCs, which makes them a powerful tool for regulating and detecting the differentiation of MSCs in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a widespread clinical problem. The pathophysiological mechanisms of DILI are complicated, and the traditional diagnostic methods for DILI have their limitations. Owing to its convenient operation, high sensitivity, and high specificity, luminescent sensing and imaging as an indispensable tool in biological research and clinical trials may provide an important means for DILI study. Herein, we report the rational design and preparation of a near-infrared dual-phosphorescent polymeric probe (P-ONOO) for exploring the DILI via specific imaging of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) elevation in vivo, which was one of early markers of DILI and very difficult to be detected due to its short half-life and high reactive activity. With the utilization of P-ONOO, the raised ONOO- was visualized successfully in the drug-treated hepatocytes with a high signal-to-noise ratio via ratiometric and time-resolved photoluminescence imaging. Importantly, the ONOO- boost in the acetaminophen-induced liver injury in real time was verified, and the direct observation of the elevated ONOO- production in ketoconazole-induced liver injury was achieved for the first time. Our findings may contribute to understanding the exact mechanism of ketoconazole-induced hepatotoxicity that is still ambiguous. Notably, this luminescent approach for revealing the liver injury works fast and conveniently.
