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.

Amplification of oxidative damage using near-infrared II-mediated photothermal/thermocatalytic effects for periodontitis treatment. Acta Biomater 2023; 171:519-531. [PMID: 37714248 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
Periodontitis is a biofilm-related disease characterized by damage to the periodontal tissue and the development of systemic diseases. However, treatment of periodontitis remains unsatisfactory, especially with deep-tissue infections. This study describes rationally designed multifunctional photothermocatalytic agents for near-infrared-II light-mediated synergistic antibiofilm treatment, through modification of Lu-Bi2Te3 with Fe3O4 and poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(l-arginine) (PEG-b-PArg). Notably, 1064-nm laser irradiation led to photothermal/thermocatalytic effects, resulting in the synergistic generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and consequent damage to the biofilm. This treatment was based on the thermoelectric and photothermal conversion properties of Lu-Bi2Te3, the peroxidase-like catalytic capacity of Fe3O4, and the guanidinium polymer, PEG-b-PArg. Oxidative damage to biofilm was further enhanced by H2O2, resulting in the effective elimination of biofilm both in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest that this synergistic therapeutic strategy is effective for the clinical treatment of periodontitis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The current treatment for periodontitis involves time-consuming and labor-intensive clinical scaling of the teeth. The present study is the first to assess the efficacy of a photothermal catalyst for periodontitis treatment. This used near-infrared-II light at 1064 nm to induce oxidative damage in the biofilm, resulting in its degradation. The synergistic photothermal/thermoelectric effect produced deep tissue penetration and was well tolerated, and can kill the biofilm formed by periodontitis pathogens up to 5 orders of magnitude, effectively treating the biofilm-induced periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a common public health problem worldwide and an inflammatory disease with irregular defect of alveolar bone caused by periodontal pathogens. Both antibacterial therapy and bone regeneration are of great importance in the treatment of periodontitis. In this study, injectable and thermosensitive hydrogels with 3D networks were used as carriers for controlled release of osteo-inductive agent (BMP-2) and Near Infrared Region-II (NIR-II) phototherapy agents (T8IC nano-particles). T8IC nano-particles were prepared by reprecipitation and acted as photosensitizer under 808 nm laser irradiation. Besides, we promoted photodynamic therapy (PDT) through adding H2O2 to facilitate the antibacterial effect instead of increasing the temperature of photothermal therapy (PTT). Hydrogel + T8IC + Laser + BMP-2 + H2O2 incorporated with mild PTT (45 °C), enhanced PDT and sustained release of BMP-2. It was present with excellent bactericidal effect, osteogenic induction and biosafety both in vitro and in vivo. Besides, immunohistochemistry staining and micro-CT analyses had confirmed that PTT and PDT could promote bone regeneration through alleviating inflammation state. Altogether, this novel approach with synergistic antibacterial effect, anti-inflammation and bone regeneration has a great potential for the treatment of periodontitis in the future.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising strategy for permanent male sterilization owing to its easy operation, rapid heating, minimal invasiveness, and high spatiotemporal controllability. However, the currently available PTT for male sterilization utilizes irradiation sources in the first near-infrared window (NIR-I), which may suffer from incomplete sterilization due to the insufficient penetration depth of NIR-I light. Herein, we developed a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthetic method of cysteine-coated copper sulfide (Cys-CuS) nanosheets for the second NIR window (NIR-II) PTT-mediated permanent male sterilization. In this method, Cys acted not only as a template but also as a sulfur resource in the formation of Cys-CuS nanosheets. The obtained Cys-CuS nanosheets possessed good photothermal properties and satisfied deep-tissue light response capacity under 1064 nm laser exposure. Given this, the permanent male sterilization in vivo was readily achieved by Cys-CuS nanosheets in a rapid manner (only 40 s). To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that nanomaterial-mediated NIR-II PTT is applied for permanent male sterilization. We believe that the facilely prepared biocompatible Cys-CuS nanosheets can serve as a promising NIR-II light-responsive nanoknife to control the overpopulation of domestic pets and stray animals.

Abstract
Green synthesis strategies have been widely applied for the preparation of versatile nanomaterials. Gold nanospheres with an average size of 6.95 ± 2.25 nm were green synthesized by using a 70% ethanol extract of Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) root as a reducing agent. A seed-mediated synthesis was conducted to prepare Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles using gold nanospheres as seeds. Remarkably, Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles with an average size of 80.4 ± 11.9 nm were synthesized. Scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and elemental mappings revealed bimetallic nanoparticles with Au-Ag alloy core and Au-rich shells. A face-centered cubic structure of Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. For Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles, the ratio of Ag/Au was 0.20 which was detected and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Gold nanospheres and Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles were functionalized by PEGylation, folic acid conjugation and grafting onto graphene oxide. Finally, docetaxel was loaded for evaluating the in vitro cell viability on cancer cells. Successful functionalization was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectra. The anticancer activity of the docetaxel-loaded nanoparticles was higher than that of their non-docetaxel-loaded counterparts. The highest anticancer activity on human gastric adenocarcinoma cells (AGS) was observed in the docetaxel-loaded gold nanospheres that were functionalized by PEGylation, folic acid conjugation and grafting onto graphene oxide. Additionally, grafting onto graphene oxide and docetaxel loading induced high intracellular reactive oxygen species generation. For chemo-photothermal (PTT) anticancer therapy, cell viability was investigated using near-infrared laser irradiation at 808 nm. The highest chemo-PTT anticancer activity on AGS cells was observed in the docetaxel-loaded Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles. Therefore, the newly prepared docetaxel-loaded Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles in the current report have potential applications in chemo-PTT anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous and aggressive disease that is prone to metastasis and recurrence. It accounts for 15-20% of all breast cancer cases. Surgical resection is effective in removing most of the malignant tissues for non-metastasized tumors; however, some residual tumor tissues would be left, leading to a poor prognosis. Thus, real-time monitoring of surgical resection would be beneficial for the surgical resection of tumors. Although NIR-II fluorescent probe-guided surgical resection has been widely used for other types of diseases, it is not currently used for TNBC in clinical practice. Here, we describe the design and synthesis of a novel NIR-II fluorescent probe, FD-1050@NPs-cRGD, that targets TNBC. We found that it has a high fluorescence quantum efficiency, good stability, and low cytotoxicity. In vivo imaging in mice demonstrated a high tumor signal/normal tissue signal ratio, indicating that FD-1050@NPs-cRGD has great potential to be applied in tumor imaging of TNBC.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage represent important pathological mechanisms of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI). Searching for potential antioxidant agents to attenuate MI/RI is of great significance in clinic. Herein, gold-selenium core-shell nanostructures (AS-I/S NCs) with good near-infrared (NIR)-II photoacoustic imaging were designed for MI/RI treatment. The AS-I/S NCs after ischemic myocardium-targeted peptide (IMTP) and mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptide SS31 modification achieved cardiomyocytes-targeted cellular uptake and enhanced antioxidant ability and significantly inhibited oxygen-glucose deprivation-recovery (OGD/R)-induced cardiotoxicity of H9c2 cells by inhibiting the depletion of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and restoring ATP synthase activity. Furthermore, the AS-I/S NCs after SS31 modification achieved mitochondria-targeted inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequently attenuated oxidative damage in OGD/R-treated H9c2 cells by inhibition of apoptosis and oxidative damage, regulation of MAPKs and PI3K/AKT pathways. The in vivo AS-I/S NCs administration dramatically improved myocardial functions and angiogenesis and inhibited myocardial fibrosis through inhibiting myocardial apoptosis and oxidative damage in MI/RI of rats. Importantly, the AS-I/S NCs showed good safety and biocompatibility in vivo. Therefore, our findings validated the rational design that mitochondria-targeted selenium-gold nanocomposites could attenuate MI/RI of rats by inhibiting ROS-mediated oxidative damage and regulating MAPKs and PI3K/AKT pathways, which could be a potential therapy for the MI/RI treatment.

Abstract
Micro-/nanorobots (MNRs) can be autonomously propelled on demand in complex biological environments and thus may bring revolutionary changes to biomedicines. Fluorescence has been widely used in real-time imaging, chemo-/biosensing, and photo-(chemo-) therapy. The integration of MNRs with fluorescence generates fluorescent MNRs with unique advantages of optical trackability, on-the-fly environmental sensitivity, and targeting chemo-/photon-induced cytotoxicity. This review provides an up-to-date overview of fluorescent MNRs. After the highlighted elucidation about MNRs of various propulsion mechanisms and the introductory information on fluorescence with emphasis on the fluorescent mechanisms and materials, we systematically illustrate the design and preparation strategies to integrate MNRs with fluorescent substances and their biomedical applications in imaging-guided drug delivery, intelligent on-the-fly sensing and photo-(chemo-) therapy. In the end, we summarize the main challenges and provide an outlook on the future directions of fluorescent MNRs. This work is expected to attract and inspire researchers from different communities to advance the creation and practical application of fluorescent MNRs on a broad horizon.

Near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging has rapidly developed for the noninvasive investigation of physiological and pathological activities in living organisms with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, the penetration depth of fluorescence restricts its ability to provide deep anatomical information. Scientists integrate NIR-II fluorescence imaging with other imaging modes (such as photoacoustic and magnetic resonance imaging) to create multimodal imaging that can acquire detailed anatomical and quantitative information with deeper penetration by using multifunctional probes. This review offers a comprehensive picture of NIR-II-based dual/multimodal imaging probes and highlights advances in bioimaging and therapy. In addition, seminal studies and trends in multimodal imaging probes activated by NIR-II laser are summarized and several key points regarding future clinical translation are elucidated.

A "Dual-Source, Dual-Activation" Strategy for an NIR-II Window Theranostic Nanosystem Enabling Optimal Photothermal-Ion Combination Therapy. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2201179.

Abstract
The activatable imaging technique in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) utilizes the stimulation of cancer-associated biomarkers for specific imaging to guide precise NIR-II photothermal therapy. However, most activatable nanoprobes with single-source stimulation are insufficient in providing comprehensive information regarding the tumor, severely restricting the therapeutic optimization, especially in NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT)-based combination therapy. Herein, a "dual-source, dual-activation" strategy-based multifunctional nanosystem, PPAC, is reported as a promising tool for activatable NIR-II fluorescence (FL)/ratiometric photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided "localization-timing" photothermal-ion therapy (PTIT). A fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-responsive peptide to modify the surface of Pd nanosheets with excellent NIR-II absorption ability can efficiently cross-link BSA-CQ4T to realize NIR-II FL quenching, followed by the loading of Ag to construct the PPAC. Triggered by the specific cleavage with FAP on the perivascular cancer-associated fibroblasts (first source), the PPAC can correspondingly release BSA-CQ4T for rapid fluorescence recovery. The nanosystems are subsequently taken up by tumor cells, where the overexpressed H2 O2 (second source) promotes the oxidation of Ag shell to Ag+ , and further leads the real-time ratiometric PA signals (Ag-PA660/Pd-PA1050) that can monitor the Ag+ ions-related production efficiency and therapeutic performance. Intelligent integration of dual-modality imaging information can comprehensively provide the right time-point and site-specificity for selective NIR-II PTT.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR, 650–1700 nm) bioimaging has emerged as a powerful strategy in tumor diagnosis. In particular, NIR-I fluorescence imaging (650–950 nm) has drawn more attention, benefiting from the high quantum yield and good biocompatibility. Since their biomedical applications are slightly limited by their relatively low penetration depth, NIR-I fluorescence imaging probes have been under extensive development in recent years. This review summarizes the particular application of the NIR-I fluorescent dye-contained bimodal probes, with emphasis on related nanoprobes. These probes have enabled us to overcome the drawbacks of individual imaging modalities as well as achieve synergistic imaging. Meanwhile, the application of these NIR-I fluorescence-based bimodal probes for cancer theranostics is highlighted.

NIR-II emissive AIEgen photosensitizers enable ultrasensitive imaging-guided surgery and phototherapy to fully inhibit orthotopic hepatic tumors. J Nanobiotechnology 2021; 19:419.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of primary liver tumors are of great significance, and optical imaging has been widely employed in clinical imaging-guided surgery for liver tumors. The second near-infrared window (NIR-II) emissive AIEgen photosensitizers have attracted a lot of attention with higher-resolution bioimaging and deeper penetration. NIR-II aggregation-induced emission-based luminogen (AIEgen) photosensitizers have better phototherapeutic effects and accuracy of the image-guided surgery/phototherapy. Herein, an NIR-II AIEgen phototheranostic dot was proposed for NIR-II imaging-guided resection surgery and phototherapy for orthotopic hepatic tumors. Compared with indocyanine green (ICG), the AIEgen dots showed bright and sharp NIR-II emission at 1250 nm, which extended to 1600 nm with high photostability. Moreover, the AIEgen dots efficiently generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) for photodynamic therapy. Investigations of orthotopic liver tumors in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that AIEgen dots could be employed both for imaging-guided tumor surgery of early-stage tumors and for 'downstaging' intention to reduce the size. Moreover, the therapeutic strategy induced complete inhibition of orthotopic tumors without recurrence and with few side effects.

Abstract
Near-Infrared-II (NIR-II) bioimaging is a newly emerging visualization modality in real-time investigations of biological processes research. Owning to advances in reducing photon scattering and low tissue autofluorescence levels in NIR-II region (1,000-1700 nm), NIR-II bioimaging affords high resolution with increasing tissue penetration depth, and it shows greater application potential for in vivo detection to obtain more detailed qualitative and quantitative parameters. Herein, this review summarizes recent progresses made on NIR-II bioimaging for quantitative analysis. These emergences of various NIR-II fluorescence, photoacoustic (PA), luminescence lifetime imaging probes and their quantitative analysis applications are comprehensively discussed, and perspectives on potential challenges facing in this direction are also raised.
