Wang R, Xue L, Dong X, Yan W, Li Y. Chitosan-initiated gold nanoparticles with enhanced fluorescence for unique Fe 3+/PPi sensing and photothermal therapy. Talanta 2024; 271:125719. [PMID: 38281429 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125719] [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: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
The design of surface ligands is crucial for ligand-protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Herein, following the principle of green synthesis, environmentally friendly gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@His@CC, AuHC) were fabricated based on dual ligands of histidine and carboxylated chitosan. AuHC showed the advantages of low toxicity, good photoluminescent stability and ideal biocompatibility. Compared with single histidine-coated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@His, AuH), AuHC presented enhanced fluorescence attributed to the addition of chitosan. The blue-emitting AuHC has a unique response to Fe3+ with detection limits as low as 9.51 nM. Interestingly, the quenched fluorescence of AuHC-Fe3+ system could be restored through the introduction of PPi with a detection limit of 10.6 μM. So an "on-off-on" fluorescence sensing platform was achieved. Apart from good optical properties and sensing, the designed AuHC demonstrated outstanding photothermal conversion efficiency (27.8 %), which made it ideal material for thermal ablation of tumor. To be specific, after laser irradiation (660 nm, 0.78 W cm-2, 10 min) of AuHC, the survival rate of HeLa cells as a tumor cell model decreased to 12.7 %, indicating that AuHC has a significant tumor inhibition effect in vitro. Besides, AuHC also could be a befitting candidate for overcoming drug-resistant tumor cells such as MCF-7/ADR cells. Notably, AuHC can markedly ablate solid tumors in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice after laser irradiation (660 nm, 0.78 W cm-2, 10 min). Hence this work provides insight into the design of multifunctional AuNPs platform for simultaneously integrating the ion sensing and photothermal therapy of cancer.

Abstract
In this report, we present our results on the recognition of multiple analytes using trisubstituted PDI-based chemosensors DNP and DNB in 50% HEPES buffered-CH3CN solution. Upon the addition of Hg2+, DNB showed a decrease and increase in absorbance intensity at 560 and 590 nm, respectively, with a detection limit of 7.17 μM and bleaching of the violet color (de-butynoxy). Similarly, the addition of Fe2+ or H2S to the solution of DNP or DNB resulted in ratiometric changes (A688nm/A560nm) with respective detection limits of 185 nM and 27.6 nM for Fe2+, respectively, and a color change from violet to green. However, the addition of >37 μM H2S caused a decrease in absorbance at 688 nm with a concomitant blue shift to 634 nm. Upon the addition of dopamine, the DNP + Fe2+ assay showed ratiometric (A560nm/A688nm) changes within 10 s along with a color change from green to violet. Moreover, DNP has been successfully used for the exogenous detection of Fe2+ in A549 cells. Further, the multiple outputs observed with DNP in the presence of H2S have been used to construct NOR, XOR, INH and 4-to-2 encoder logic gates and circuits.

Abstract
In this study, the chromophore 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) is anchored with phenyl substituents at the imide N site, followed by thionation, yielding a series of thione products 1S-PDI-D, 2S-cis-PDI-D, 2S-trans-PDI-D, 3S-PDI-D, and 4S-PDI-D, respectively, with n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 thione. The photophysical properties are dependent on the number of anchored thiones, where the observed prominent lower-lying absorption is assigned to the S0 → S2(ππ*) transition and is red-shifted upon increasing the number of thiones; the lowest-lying excited state is ascribed to a transition-forbidden S1(nπ*) configuration. All nS-PDIs are non-emissive in solution but reveal an excellent two-photon absorption cross-section of >800 GM. Supported by the femtosecond transient absorption study, the S1(nπ*) → T1(ππ*) intersystem crossing (ISC) rate is > 1012 s-1, resulting in ∼100% triplet population. The lowest-lying T1(ππ*) energy is calculated to be in the order of 1S-PDI-D > 2S-cis-PDI-D ∼ 2S-trans-PDI-D > 3S-PDI-D > 4S-PDI-D, where the T1 energy of 1S-PDI-D (1.10 eV) is higher than that (0.97 eV) of the 1O2 1Δg state. 1S-PDI-D is further modified by either conjugation with peptide FC131 on the two terminal sides, forming 1S-FC131, or linkage with peptide FC131 and cyanine5 dye on each terminal, yielding Cy5-1S-FC131. In vitro experiments show power of 1S-FC131 and Cy5-1S-FC131 in recognizing A549 cells out of other three lung normal cells and effective photodynamic therapy. In vivo, both molecular composites demonstrate outstanding antitumor ability in A549 xenografted tumor mice, where Cy5-1S-FC131 shows superiority of simultaneous fluorescence tracking and targeted photodynamic therapy.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 276:121174.

Abstract
Herein, we report a new phenolphthalein appended Schiff base (PASB) as reversible fluorescent sensor for the detection of pyrophosphate (PPi) ions through the metal displacement mechanism. PASB showed sensing exclusively toward Al3+ ions in DMF/H2O (v/v = 1/4, pH 5.5) solution, which resulted in a significant fluorescence enhancement at 540 nm. The 1: 2 binding stoichiometry for the complex formation between PASB and Al3+ was confirmed by Job's plot and mass spectroscopic studies. Moreover, a solution of the in situ formed PASB-Al3+ complex displayed a high selectivity to PPi. The addition of PPi to PASB-Al3+ ensemble significantly quenched its fluorescence. Thus, a dual response was established based on "Off-On-Off" strategy for detection of both Al3+ and PPi. The detection limit is 5.86 nM and 26 nM for Al3+ and PPi, respectively. On this basis, we use PASB to detect Al3+ in food samples. Furthermore, PASB was successfully applicable to detect Al3+ and PPi for intracellular imaging in Human liver cancer cells.

Abstract
Bolaamphiphile, which is a class of amphiphilic molecules, has a unique structure of two hydrophilic head groups at the ends of the hydrophobic center. Peptidic bolaamphiphiles that employ peptides or amino acids as their hydrophilic groups exhibit unique biochemical activities when they self-organize into supramolecular structures, which are not observed in a single molecule. The self-assembled peptidic bolaamphiphiles hold considerable promise for imitating proteins with biochemical activities, such as specific affinity toward heterogeneous substances, a catalytic activity similar to a metalloenzyme, physicochemical activity from harmonized amino acid segments, and the capability to encapsulate genes like a viral vector. These diverse activities give rise to large research interest in biomaterials engineering, along with the synthesis and characterization of the assembled structures. This review aims to address the recent progress in the applications of peptidic bolaamphiphile assemblies whose densely packed peptide motifs on their surface and their stacked hydrophobic centers exhibit unique protein-like activity and designer functionality, respectively.

Abstract
Exploring a robust, extremely sensitive, cost-effective and reliable assay platform for the precise analysis of dopamine (DA) has become a big challenge predominantly at the clinical level. To participate in this quest, herein, we fabricated a perylene diimide (PDI) self-assembled graphitic surface of the graphitic pencil electrode (GPE) anchored copper oxide (CuO). The self-assembled N-rich PDI led to the fast movement of ions by decreasing the bandgap and improved the electron transport kinetics with more exposed catalytic active sites, thus resulting in the robust electrochemical sensing of DA. The designed sensor exhibited good sensitivity (4 μM−1 cm−2), high structural stability, repeatability and excellent reproducibility with an RSD value of 2.9%. Moreover, the developed system showed a wide linear range (5 μM to 500 μM) and reliable selectivity even in the presence of co-existing interferants, such as ascorbic acid and uric acid. The fabricated nanohybrid was eventually employed to analyze DA in spiked physiological fluids and provided satisfactory recoveries. The designed PDI-CuO based interface also showed a very low detection limit of 6 nM (S/N = 3), consequently confirming its suitability for clinical and biological applications. Exploring a robust, extremely sensitive, cost-effective and reliable assay platform for the precise analysis of dopamine (DA) has become a big challenge predominantly at the clinical level.![]()

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a simple colorimetric method for the sensitive and selective detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity based on the turn off/turn on oxidase mimic activity of His@AuNCs. His@AuNCs/graphene oxide hybrids (His@AuNCs/GO) were easily obtained using the self-assembly method with poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-coated GO and showed high oxidase-like activity compared with His@AuNCs. We found that the pyrophosphate ion (P2O74-, PPi) could effectively inhibit the oxidase mimic activity of His@AuNCs/GO, and the hydrolysis of PPi by ALP restored the inhibited activity of His@AuNCs/GO, enabling them to efficiently catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate the blue oxidized product oxTMB. The intensity of the color showed a linear dependency with the ALP activity. ALP was detected in the linear range of 0-40 mU/mL with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.26 mU/mL (S/N = 3). The proposed method is fast, easy, and can be applied to monitor the ALP activity in serum samples accurately and effectively, which suggests its practicability and reliability in the detection of ALP activity in clinical practice.

Abstract
Perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) and its derivatives exhibit excellent thermal, chemical and optical stability, strong electron affinity, strong visible-light absorption and unique fluorescence on/off features. The combination of these features makes PDIs ideal molecular frameworks for development in a broad range of sensors for detecting environmental pollutants such as heavy metal ions (e.g., Cu2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Pd2+, etc.), inorganic anions (e.g., F-, ClO4-, PO4-, etc.), as well as poisonous organic compounds such as nitriles, amines, nitroaromatics, benzene homologues, etc. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advance in research and development of PDI-based fluorescent sensors, as well as related colorimetric and multi-mode sensor systems, for environmental detection in aqueous, organic or mixed solutions. The molecular design of PDIs and structural optimization of the sensor system (regarding both sensitivity and selectivity) in response to varying analytes are discussed in detail. At the end, a perspective summary is provided covering both the key challenges and potential solutions for the future development of PDI-based optical sensors.

Abstract
A water-soluble perylene diimide, aspartic acid-functionalized perylene diimide (APDI), has shown significant sequential "turn-off" and "turn-on" responses toward Cu2+ and inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), respectively. APDI was found to show selectivity toward Cu2+ and inorganic PPi over adenosine monophosphate, adenosine diphosphate, and adenosine triphosphate. The detection has been studied by absorption and emission spectroscopy techniques. Incorporation of Cu2+ into the solution of APDI results in a distinct quenching of the fluorescence intensity, while there was no spectral change in the presence of other metal ions. The formed APDI-Cu2+ ensemble can turn on its fluorescence signal when PPi is present. The detection of PPi could be traced by looking at the change in color of the solution under the naked eye. No interference was observed from other anions, making the APDI-Cu2+aggregate a highly selective biosensor for PPi.

Abstract
Sensing of pyrophosphate (PPi) is helpful to better understand many life processes and diagnose various early-stage diseases. However, many traditional reported methods based on artificial receptors for sensing of PPi exhibit some disadvantages including difficulties in designing appropriate binding sites and complicated multi-step assembly/functionalization. Thus, it is significantly important and a big challenge to know how to use a simple molecular self-assembly or an interaction system to solve the above-mentioned limits to achieve the quantitative analysis of specific substances in the system. Based on the natural connection and similarity (such as stimulus responsiveness) between sensing and logic computing, in this study, the Boolean logic tree of molecular self-assembly system based on the cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanoplatform is constructed and applied to organize and connect "plug and play" molecular events (fluorescent dye, acridine orange and anion, PPi). By using molecules as inputs and the corresponding fluorescence signal as the output, the CoOOH-based molecular self-assembly system can be programmed for three-input fluorescent Boolean logic computation, fluorescent three-state logic computation, detection of PPi (linear range from 50 to 6400 nM with a detection limit of 20 nM) and even for imaging in living cancer cells and in vivo (in systems such as Zebrafish and Carassius auratus). Our approach adds a new dimension for expanding molecular logic computing and sensing systems, which will not only provide more opportunities for developing novel logic computing paradigms, but also be helpful in promoting the development and applications of intelligent molecular computing and sensing systems.

Abstract
Specific imaging of cancer cells has been well-accepted in cancer diagnosis although it cannot precisely mark the boundary between the normal and cancerous cells and report their mutual influence. We report a nanorod fluorescent probe of copper perylenetetracarbonate (PTC-Cu) that can specifically light up normal cells. In combination with cancer cell imaging, the cocultured normal and cancer cells can be lit up with different colors, offering a clear contrast between the normal and cancer cells when they coexist. Because cancerous cells are only 20-30% in cancer area, this provides a possibility to visibly detect the mutual influence between the cancer and normal cells during therapy. We expect this method is beneficial to better cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Based on simple mixing and polymerization of a hydroxyl-containing derivative of perylene bisimide (PBI) and l-malic acid, here, we demonstrate a new type of dye-polymer conjugate, PBI-poly(α,β-malic acid) (PBI–PMA). Benefiting from the excellent water-solubility of weak polyanionic PMA structure and the high fluorescence of PBI, the PBI-PMA conjugates readily dissolve in water, displaying strong pH-dependent fluorescence with the highest intensity at pH 6. Due to the excellent biocompatibility of PMA, those conjugates showed low cytotoxicity on L929 cells. Using L929 and HeLa cells, we also confirmed that the PBI-PMA-labeled cells display intense fluorescence. Overall, the PBI-PMA conjugate demonstrates high potential as a cell labeling agent with its synthesis ease, good solubility in aqueous medium, low cytotoxicity, and high fluorescence.

Abstract
Conventional instruments for cancer diagnosis including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scan, are expensive and require long-waiting time, whilst the outcomes have not approached to the successful early-stage diagnosis yet. Due to the special properties of graphene-based nanocomposites, e.g., good electrical and thermal conductivity, luminescence, and mechanic flexibility, these ultra-thin two-dimensional nanostructures have been extensively used as platforms for detecting biomolecules and cells. Herein, we discuss the development of two types of graphene and graphene oxide-based biosensors: electrochemical and optical, aimed for tumor detection and early diagnosis of cancer. Moreover, we highlight the challenges of their use as biosensors for cancer detection. Efficient surface modification and suitable bio-conjugation of graphene and graphene oxide is discussed, including key role in improvement of the biocompatibility, and improved performance in terms of selectivity and sensitivity towards the early diagnosis of cancer.
