Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) could lead to serious damage in living cells and are associated with many diseases like cancers. Metal cluster with strong fluorescence has great potential in biosensing and many thiolate ligands-protected clusters have been applied in ROS sensing. RESULTS In this work, we synthesized levonorgestrel protected Au10 cluster with specific sensing ability for highly ROS via crystal transformation from Au8 cluster, demonstrating the significance of inner core structure on detecting performance. The detection limit of Au10 cluster for ClO- could reach as low as 0.1 μM. This fluorescent probe not only achieving detection of exogenous ClO- in living cells and zebrafish, but also successful imaging of endogenous ClO- in HeLa and HepG2 cells. SIGNIFICANCE In comparison to previously reported cluster-based sensors for ROS, this work proposes a different reaction mechanism of metal nanoclusters for ROS detection (breakage of gold-alkynyl bond and oxidation of alkynyl group). This provides new directions for designing specific ROS probes and broadens the applications of metal clusters in disease diagnostics.

Abstract
The tracking of nanomedicines in their concentration and location inside living systems has a pivotal effect on the understanding of the biological processes, early-stage diagnosis, and therapeutic monitoring of diseases. Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nano MOFs) possess high surface areas, definite structure, regulated optical properties, rich functionalized sites, and good biocompatibility that allow them to excel in a wide range of biomedical applications. Controllable syntheses and functionalization endow nano MOFs with better properties as imaging agents and sensing units for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This minireview summarizes the tunable synthesis strategies of nano MOFs with controllable size, shape, and regulated luminescent performance, and pinpoints their recent advanced applications as optical elements in bioimaging and biosensing. The current limitations and future development directions of nano MOF-contained materials in bioimaging and biosensing applications are also discussed, aiming to expand the biological applications of nano MOF-based nanomedicine and facilitate their production or clinical translation.

[PMID: 37573126 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
Here, a novel fluorescent sensing strategy is established for the detection of captopril (CP) sensitively on the basis of a nanocomposite of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and metal-organic framework (AuNCs@ZIF-8). The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect will be triggered when AuNCs is encapsulated by metal-organic framework (MOF) which served as a carrier since it limits the molecular motion of AuNCs, and the fluorescence of AuNCs greatly enhanced about 5-time after forming the nanocomposites of AuNCs@ZIF-8. The strong orange-emission at 562 nm was quenched in the presence of mercury ions through dynamic quenching. After adding captopril, the quenched fluorescence of AuNCs@ZIF-8/Hg2+ system would be restored due to the specific interaction among captopril with mercury ions. Simultaneously, the restored degree of AuNCs@ZIF-8/Hg2+ fluorescence depended on the concentration of captopril. Hence, with AuNCs@ZIF-8 serving as reporter signal, the captopril content can be monitored by an "on-off-on" fluorescence sensing mode with a linear relationship of 1-100 μM, and the limit of detection for captopril was 0.134 μM.

Abstract
Nano-fluorescent metal-organic frameworks (NF-MOFs), a kind of newly emerged nano-scaled platform, can provide visual, rapid, and highly sensitive optical imaging of cancer lesions both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, the excellent porosity, structural tunability, and chemical modifiability also enable NF-MOFs to achieve simultaneous loading of targeted molecules and therapeutic agents. These NF-MOFs not only possess excellent targeted imaging ability, but also can guide the carried cargos to perform precise therapy, drawing considerable attention in current framework of anticancer drug design. In this review, we outline the fluorescence types and response mechanisms of NF-MOFs, and highlight their applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy in recent years. Based on this panorama, we also discuss current issues and future trends of NF-MOFs in biomedical fields, attempting to clarify the potential value of fluorescence imaging guided anticancer investigations.

Abstract
Nanosized metal aggregates (MAs), including metal nanoparticles (NPs) and nanoclusters (NCs), are often the active species in numerous applications. In order to maintain the active form of MAs in "use", they need to be anchored and stabilised, preventing agglomeration. In this context, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which exhibit a unique combination of properties, are of particular interest as a tunable and porous matrix to host MAs. A high degree of control in the synthesis towards atom-efficient and application-oriented MA@MOF composites is required to derive specific structure-property relationships and in turn to enable design of functions on the molecular level. Due to the versatility of MA@MOF (derived) materials, their applications are not limited to the obvious field of catalysis, but increasingly include 'out of the box' applications, for example medical diagnostics and theranostics, as well as specialised (bio-)sensoring techniques. This review focuses on recent advances in the controlled synthesis of MA@MOF materials en route to atom-precise MAs. The main synthetic strategies, namely 'ship-in-bottle', 'bottle-around-ship', and approaches to achieve novel hierarchical MA@MOF structures are highlighted and discussed while identifying their potential as well as their limitations. Hereby, an overview of standard characterisation methods that enable a systematic analysis procedure and state-of-art techniques that localise MA within MOF cavities are provided. While the perspectives of MA@MOF materials in general have been reviewed various times in the recent past, few atom-precise MAs inside MOFs have been reported so far, opening opportunities for future investigation.

Abstract
Detection and imaging of highly reactive oxygen species (hROS) in biological systems using fluorescent probes are critical for the study of physiological and pathological processes induced by hROS. Herein, we report a redox-active luminescent metal-organic framework (MOF), which incorporates a hydroquinone moiety that can undergo a reversible transformation from the hydroquinone to the quinone by hROS like •OH and ClO-. Moreover, the intrinsic fluorescence originating from the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) property of the organic linker can be finely regulated during this redox-switchable process. A reversible fluorescent probe for hROS is thus developed. The presented probe shows a sensitive, selective, and reversible response to hROS due to the integration of excellent structural characteristics and unique spectral properties of the MOF. The detection limits of •OH and ClO- are 0.22 and 0.18 μM, respectively. Furthermore, with good photostability and super biocompatibility, this simple yet efficient fluorescent probe has been successfully applied to dynamic monitoring of endogenous and exogenous •OH and ClO- in live cells.

Abstract
A tunable interaction between Fe-MOFs (MIL-53(Fe) and kojic acid (KA)-functional copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) has been studied. When introducing MIL-53(Fe), the Fe-O bonds can be formed between the KA on the surface of Cu NCs and MIL-53(Fe), which will induce the electron transfer from Cu NCs to MIL-53(Fe) and fluorescence quenching of Cu NCs. By introducing S2- it occupies the Fe-site of MIL-53(Fe) and impede the interaction between Cu NCs and MIL-53(Fe), rendering a "turn-on" fluorescence signal. Thus, the KA-Cu NC/MIL-53(Fe) pair is designed as fluorescence sensing for S2-, which displays a low detection limit of 18.6 nM and a wide linear detection range from 0.05 to 5 µM by fitting the fluorescence intensity at maximum wavelength of 500 nm with excitation at 400 nm. It was also applied to monitor S2- in water samples and food additives with satisfactory results, demonstrating the practicability and reliability of the sensing strategy based on the tuable MOF-Cu NC interactions.

Abstract
![]()
This
review gives an authoritative, critical, and accessible overview
of an emergent class of fluorescent materials termed “LG@MOF”,
engineered from the nanoscale confinement of luminescent guests (LG)
in a metal–organic framework (MOF) host, realizing a myriad
of unconventional materials with fascinating photophysical and photochemical
properties. We begin by summarizing the synthetic methodologies and
design guidelines for representative LG@MOF systems, where the major
types of fluorescent guest encompass organic dyes, metal ions, metal
complexes, metal nanoclusters, quantum dots, and hybrid perovskites.
Subsequently, we discuss the methods for characterizing the resultant
guest–host structures, guest loading, photophysical properties,
and review local-scale techniques recently employed to elucidate guest
positions. A special emphasis is paid to the pros and cons of the
various methods in the context of LG@MOF. In the following section,
we provide a brief tutorial on the basic guest–host phenomena,
focusing on the excited state events and nanoscale confinement effects
underpinning the exceptional behavior of LG@MOF systems. The review
finally culminates in the most striking applications of LG@MOF materials,
particularly the “turn-on” type fluorochromic chemo-
and mechano-sensors, noninvasive thermometry and optical pH sensors,
electroluminescence, and innovative security devices. This review
offers a comprehensive coverage of general interest to the multidisciplinary
materials community to stimulate frontier research in the vibrant
sector of light-emitting MOF composite systems.

Abstract
Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as eye-catching materials in recent years. They are widely used in numerous fields of chemistry thanks to their desirable properties. MOFs have a key role in the development of bioimaging platforms that are hopefully expected to effectually pave the way for accurate and selective detection and diagnosis of abnormalities. Recently, many types of MOFs have been employed for detection of RNA, DNA, enzyme activity and small-biomolecules, as well as for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), which are valuable methods for clinical analysis. The optimal performance of the MOF in the bio-imaging field depends on the core structure, synthesis method and modifications processes. In this review, we have attempted to present crucial parameters for designing and achieving an efficient MOF as bioimaging platforms, and provide a roadmap for researchers in this field. Moreover, the influence of modifications/fractionalizations on MOFs performance has been thoroughly discussed and challenging problems have been extensively addressed. Consideration is mainly focused on the principal concepts and applications that have been achieved to modify and synthesize advanced MOFs for future applications.

Abstract
It is of vital importance to develop probes to monitor hypochlorous acid (HClO) in biological systems as HClO is associated with many important physiological and pathological processes. Metal nanoclusters (NCs) are promising luminescent nanomaterials for highly reactive oxygen species (hROS) detection on the basis of their strong reaction ability with hROS. However, metal NCs typically can respond to most common hROS and are susceptible to etching by biothiols, hindering their application in the construction of effective HClO probes. Herein, we proposed a strategy to develop a nanoprobe based on Au NCs for highly sensitive and selective detection of HClO. We synthesized luminescent benzyl mercaptan-stabilized Au NCs and encapsulated them with an amphiphilic polymer (DSPE-PEG). After encapsulation, an obvious emission enhancement and good resistance to the etching by biothiols for Au NCs were achieved. More importantly, the DSPE-PEG encapsulated Au NCs can be used as a nanoprobe for detection of HClO with good performance. The luminescence of the Au NCs was effectively and selectively quenched by HClO. A good linear relationship with the concentration of HClO in the range of 5–35 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 μM were obtained. Additionally, this nanoprobe was successfully used for bioimaging and monitoring of HClO changes in live cells, suggesting the application potential of the as-prepared amphiphilic polymer-encapsulated Au NCs for further HClO-related biomedical research. Amphiphilic polymer-encapsulated Au nanoclusters with enhanced emission and stability were synthesized and used for the sensitive and selective detection of hypochlorous acid.![]()

Abstract
A fluorescence analysis method based on gold nanocluster (AuNC) and metal-organic framework (MOF) composite materials (AuNCs@ZIF-8) was established for highly sensitive detection of bilirubin (BR). First, AuNCs@ZIF-8 was successfully obtained by co-precipitation and displayed an aggregation-induced emission enhancement by the confinement effect of the MOFs (i.e., ZIF-8). The product showed approximately 7.0 times enhancement in the quantum yield and longer fluorescence lifetime from 2.29 μs to 11.51 μs compared with AuNCs. When BR combined with the metal node Zn2+ of ZIF-8, the skeleton of the composite was destroyed, leading to a great decrease in the fluorescence intensity by the transformation of the AuNCs from the aggregated state to dispersed state. The linear range for the detection of BR was 0.1-5.0 μM, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.07 μM (S/N = 3). The AuNCs@ZIF-8 exhibited a selective response toward BR within 5 min and detected BR in human serum. The long-wavelength emission by AuNCs avoided the interference of the complex biomatrix background fluorescence, indicating their great application prospects for clinical diagnosis.

Dual-emission copper nanoclusters-based ratiometric fluorescent probe for intracellular detection of hydroxyl and superoxide anion species. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:13.

Abstract
A fluorescent nanoprobe based on copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) has been developed for ratiometric detection of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide anion radicals (O2•-). Two differently luminescent CuNCs, namely cyan-emissive poly(methacrylic acid)-protected copper nanoclusters (PCuNCs) and orange-emissive bovine serum albumin-protected CuNCs (BCuNCs), were conjugated to obtain a hybrid, dual-emission nanoprobe (PCuNCs-BCuNCs) with the corresponding peaks at 445 nm and 652 nm at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm. In particular, the fluorescence peak at 445 nm gradually enhanced with the incremental addition of •OH and O2•-. However, the fluorescence emission at 652 nm was greatly quenched in the presence of •OH, while in case of O2•-, the fluorescence intensity remained constant. The differential response of the PCuNCs-BCuNCs towards •OH and O2•- formed the basis of ratiometric detection. Under optimal conditions, the PCuNCs-BCuNCs exhibited good sensitivity and linearity towards •OH and O2•- with limits of detection of 0.15 μM and 1.8 μM, respectively. Moreover, the nanoprobe exhibited high selectivity for •OH and O2•- over other potential ROS interferences. Besides, PCuNCs-BCuNCs were eventually applied for qualitative and quantitative ratiometric assessment of intracellular •OH and O2•- in L-132 cells. Therefore, this strategy unveils a new potential for copper nanocluster-based sensing of ROS.

Abstract
Development of multi-functional materials and biosensors that can achieve an in situ response designed by the user is a current need in the biomaterials field, especially in complex biological environments, such as inflammation, where multiple enzymatic and oxidative signals are present. In the past decade, there has been extensive research and development of materials chemistries for detecting and monitoring enzymatic activity, as well as for releasing therapeutic and diagnostic agents in regions undergoing oxidative stress. However, there has been limited development of materials in the context of enzymatic and oxidative triggers together, despite their closely tied and overlapping mechanisms. With research focusing on enzymatically and oxidatively triggered materials separately, these systems may be inadequate in monitoring the complexity of inflammatory environments, thus limiting in vivo translatability and diagnostic accuracy. The intention of this review is to highlight a variety of enzymatically and oxidatively triggered materials chemistries to draw attention to the range of synthetic tunability available for the construction of novel biosensors with a spectrum of programmed responses. We focus our discussion on several types of macromolecular sensors, generally classified by the causative material response driving ultimate signal detection. This includes sensing based on degradative processes, conformational changes, supramolecular assembly/disassembly, and nanomaterial interactions, among others. We see each of these classes providing valuable tools toward coalescing current gaps in the biosensing field regarding specificity, selectivity, sensitivity, and flexibility in application. Additionally, by considering the materials chemistry of enzymatically and oxidatively triggered biomaterials in tandem, we hope to encourage synthesis of new biosensors that capitalize on their synergistic roles and overlapping mechanisms in inflammatory environments for applications in disease diagnosis and monitoring.
