Laser-assembled conductive 3D nanozyme film-based nitrocellulose sensor for real-time detection of H 2O 2 released from cancer cells. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 262:116544. [PMID: 38963952 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116544] [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: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
In this work, a nanostructured conductive film possessing nanozyme features was straightforwardly produced via laser-assembling and integrated into complete nitrocellulose sensors; the cellulosic substrate allows to host live cells, while the nanostructured film nanozyme activity ensures the enzyme-free real-time detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released by the sames. In detail, a highly exfoliated reduced graphene oxide 3D film decorated with naked platinum nanocubes was produced using a CO2-laser plotter via the simultaneous reduction and patterning of graphene oxide and platinum cations; the nanostructured film was integrated into a nitrocellulose substrate and the complete sensor was manufactured using an affordable semi-automatic printing approach. The linear range for the direct H2O2 determination was 0.5-80 μM (R2 = 0.9943), with a limit of detection of 0.2 μM. Live cell measurements were achieved by placing the sensor in the culture medium, ensuring their adhesion on the sensors' surface; two cell lines were used as non-tumorigenic (Vero cells) and tumorigenic (SKBR3 cells) models, respectively. Real-time detection of H2O2 released by cells upon stimulation with phorbol ester was carried out; the nitrocellulose sensor returned on-site and real-time quantitative information on the H2O2 released proving useful sensitivity and selectivity, allowing to distinguish tumorigenic cells. The proposed strategy allows low-cost in-series semi-automatic production of paper-based point-of-care devices using simple benchtop instrumentation, paving the way for the easy and affordable monitoring of the cytopathology state of cancer cells.

Abstract
As one of the most widely distributed reactive oxygen species in vivo, hydrogen peroxide plays divergent and important roles in cell growth, differentiation and aging. When the level of hydrogen peroxide in the body is abnormal, it will lead to genome mutation and induce irreversible oxidative modification of proteins, lipids and polysaccharides, resulting in cell death or even disease. Therefore, it is significant to develop a sensitive and specific probe for real-time detection of hydrogen peroxide in vivo. In this study, the response mechanism between hydrogen peroxide and probe QH was investigated by means of HRMS and the probe showed good optical properties and high selectivity to hydrogen peroxide. Note that the evaluating of probe biocompatibility resulted from cytotoxicity test, behavioral test, hepatotoxicity test, cardiotoxicity test, blood vessel toxicity test, immunotoxicity test and neurotoxicity test using cell and transgenic zebrafish models with more than 20 toxic indices. Furthermore, the detection performance of the probe for hydrogen peroxide was evaluated by multiple biological models and the probe was proved to be much essential for the monitoring of hydrogen peroxide in vivo.

Abstract
An antifouling peptide hydrogel-based electrochemical biosensor was developed for real-time monitoring of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) released by 3D cultured breast cancer cells upon drug stimulation. Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were electrodeposited on titanium mesh (Pt NPs/TM) to enhance sensitivity and shown to possess excellent electrocatalytic ability toward H2O2 and NO. The composite hydrogel formed by co-assembling of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF) and a fluorine methoxycarbonyl group-functionalized Lys-(Fmoc)-Asp was coated on Pt NPs/TM electrode surface to provide cellular scaffolding. Their favorable biocompatibility promoted cell adhesion and growth, while good hydrophilicity endowed the sensor with greatly enhanced antifouling capability in complex cell culture environments. The biosensor successfully determined H2O2 and NO secretion from both non-metastatic and metastatic breast cancer cells in real time. Our results demonstrated robust associations between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) production and cell malignancy, with the main difference in oxidative stress between the two subtypes of cells being NO release, particularly emphasizing RNS's critical leading in driving cancer metastasis and invasion progression. This sensor holds great potential for cell-release research under the in vivo-like microenvironment and could reveal RNS as an attractive therapeutic target for treating breast cancer.

Dynamic interplay of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) in plant resilience: unveiling the signaling pathways and metabolic responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Plants respond to environmental challenges by producing reactive species such as ROS and RNS, which play critical roles in signaling pathways that lead to adaptation and survival strategies. Understanding these pathways, as well as their detection methods and effects on plant development and metabolism, provides insight into increasing crop tolerance to combined stresses. Plants encounter various environmental stresses (abiotic and biotic) that affect plant growth and development. Plants sense biotic and abiotic stresses by producing different molecules, including reactive species, that act as signaling molecules and stimulate secondary messengers and subsequent gene transcription. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) are produced in both physiological and pathological conditions in the plasma membranes, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Various techniques, including spectroscopy, chromatography, and fluorescence methods, are used to detect highly reactive, short-half-life ROS and RNS either directly or indirectly. In this review, we highlight the roles of ROS and RNS in seed germination, root development, senescence, mineral nutrition, and post-harvest control. In addition, we provide information on the specialized metabolism involved in plant growth and development. Secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids, are produced in low concentrations in plants for signaling and metabolism. Strategies for improving crop performance under combined drought and pathogen stress conditions are discussed in this review.

Recent progress and outlooks in rhodamine-based fluorescent probes for detection and imaging of reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species. Talanta 2024; 274:126004.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) serve as vital mediators essential for preserving intracellular redox homeostasis within the human body, thereby possessing significant implications across physiological and pathological domains. Nevertheless, deviations from normal levels of ROS, RNS, and RSS disturb redox homeostasis, leading to detrimental consequences that compromise bodily integrity. This disruption is closely linked to the onset of various human diseases, thereby posing a substantial threat to human health and survival. Small-molecule fluorescent probes exhibit considerable potential as analytical instruments for the monitoring of ROS, RNS, and RSS due to their exceptional sensitivity and selectivity, operational simplicity, non-invasiveness, localization capabilities, and ability to facilitate in situ optical signal generation for real-time dynamic analyte monitoring. Due to their distinctive transition from their spirocyclic form (non-fluorescent) to their ring-opened form (fluorescent), along with their exceptional light stability, broad wavelength range, high fluorescence quantum yield, and high extinction coefficient, rhodamine fluorophores have been extensively employed in the development of fluorescent probes. This review primarily concentrates on the investigation of fluorescent probes utilizing rhodamine dyes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection from the perspective of different response groups since 2016. The scope of this review encompasses the design of probe structures, elucidation of response mechanisms, and exploration of biological applications.

Abstract
This review explores the convergence of clinical radiotherapy and space radiation therapeutics, focusing on ionizing radiation (IR)-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). IR, with high-energy particles, induces precise cellular damage, particularly in cancer treatments. The paper discusses parallels between clinical and space IR, highlighting unique characteristics of high-charge and energy particles in space and potential health risks for astronauts. Emphasizing the parallel occurrence of ROS generation in both clinical and space contexts, the review identifies ROS as a crucial factor with dual roles in cellular responses and potential disease initiation. The analysis covers ROS generation mechanisms, variations, and similarities in terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments leading to innovative ROS-responsive delivery systems adaptable for both clinical and space applications. The paper concludes by discussing applications of personalized ROS-triggered therapeutic approaches and discussing the challenges and prospects of implementing these strategies in clinical radiotherapy and extraterrestrial missions. Overall, it underscores the potential of ROS-targeted delivery for advancing therapeutic strategies in terrestrial clinical settings and space exploration, contributing to human health improvement on Earth and beyond.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for cellular signaling. Various pathophysiological conditions are also associated with elevated levels of ROS. Hence, ROS-sensitive triggers have been extensively used for selective payload delivery. Such applications are predicated on two key functions: (1) a sufficient magnitude of concentration difference for the interested ROS between normal tissue/cells and intended sites and (2) appropriate reaction kinetics to ensure a sufficient level of selectivity for payload release. Further, ROS refers to a group of species with varying reactivity, which should not be viewed as a uniform group. In this review, we critically analyze data on the concentrations of different ROS species under various pathophysiological conditions and examine how reaction kinetics affect the success of ROS-sensitive linker chemistry. Further, we discuss different ROS linker chemistry in the context of their applications in drug delivery and imaging. This review brings new insights into research in ROS-triggered delivery, highlights factors to consider in maximizing the chance for success and discusses pitfalls to avoid.

Abstract
Conventional electrochemical sensors use voltammetric and amperometric methods with external power supply and modulation systems, which hinder the flexibility and application of the sensors. To avoid the use of an external power system and to minimize the number of electrochemical cell components, a self-powered electrochemical sensor (SPES) for hydrogen peroxide was investigated here. Iron phthalocyanine, an enzyme mimetic material, and Ni were used as a cathode catalyst and an anode material, respectively. The properties of the iron phthalocyanine catalyst modified by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were investigated. Open circuit potential tests demonstrated the feasibility of this system. The GNP-modulated interface helped to solve the problems of aggregation and poor conductivity of iron phthalocyanine and allowed for the achievement of the best analytical characteristics of the self-powered H2O2 sensor with a low detection limit of 0.6 µM and significantly higher sensitivity of 0.198 A/(M·cm2) due to the enhanced electrochemical properties. The SPES demonstrated the best performance at pH 3.0 compared to pH 7.4 and 12.0. The sensor characteristics under the control of external variable load resistances are discussed and the cell showed the highest power density of 65.9 μW/cm2 with a 20 kOhm resistor. The practical applicability of this method was verified by the determination of H2O2 in blood serum.

Abstract
This article aims to critically review the current state of knowledge on in vitro toxicological assessments of particulate emissions from residential biomass heating systems. The review covers various aspects of particulate matter (PM) toxicity, including oxidative stress, inflammation, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity, all of which have important implications for understanding the development of diseases. Studies in this field have highlighted the different mechanisms that biomass combustion particles activate, which vary depending on the combustion appliances and fuels. In general, particles from conventional combustion appliances are more potent in inducing cytotoxicity, DNA damage, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress than those from modern appliances. The sensitivity of different cell lines to the toxic effects of biomass combustion particles is also influenced by cell type and culture conditions. One of the main challenges in this field is the considerable variation in sampling strategies, sample processing, experimental conditions, assays, and extraction techniques used in biomass burning PM studies. Advanced culture systems, such as co-cultures and air-liquid interface exposures, can provide more accurate insights into the effects of biomass combustion particles compared to simpler submerged monocultures. This review provides critical insights into the complex field of toxicity from residential biomass combustion emissions, underscoring the importance of continued research and standardisation of methodologies to better understand the associated health hazards and to inform targeted interventions.

Abstract
Airborne nanoplastics can enter alveolar cells and trigger intracellular oxidative stress primarily. Herein, taking advantage of the high electrochemical resolution of SiC@Pt nanoelectrodes, we achieved the quantitative discrimination of the major ROS/RNS within A549 cells, disclosed the sources of their precursors, and observed that the NO (RNS precursor) level significantly increased, whereas O2˙- (ROS precursor) remained relatively stable during the nanoplastics exposure. This establishes that iNOS or mitochondrion-targeted treatment may be a preventive or therapeutic strategy for nanoplastic-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Significance: In recent decades, male fertility has been severely reduced worldwide. The causes underlying this decline are multifactorial, and include, among others, genetic alterations, changes in the microbiome, and the impact of environmental pollutants. Such factors can dysregulate the physiological levels of reactive species of oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) in the patient, generating oxidative and nitrosative stress that impairs fertility. Recent Advances: Recent studies have delved into other factors involved in the dysregulation of ROS and RNS levels, such as diet, obesity, persistent infections, environmental pollutants, and gut microbiota, thus leading to new strategies to solve male fertility problems, such as consuming prebiotics to regulate gut flora or treating psychological conditions. Critical Issues: The pathways where ROS or RNS may be involved as modulators are still under investigation. Moreover, the extent to which treatments can rescue male infertility as well as whether they may have side effects remains, in most cases, to be elucidated. For example, it is known that prescription of antioxidants to treat nitrosative stress can alter sperm chromatin condensation, which makes DNA more exposed to ROS and RNS, and may thus affect fertilization and early embryo development. Future Directions: The involvement of extracellular vesicles, which might play a crucial role in cell communication during spermatogenesis and epididymal maturation, and the relevance of other factors such as sperm epigenetic signatures should be envisaged in the future.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as a promising technology for cancer detection due to their high sensitivity, rapid response, low cost, and capability for non-invasive detection. Recent advances in nanomaterials like nanoparticles, graphene, and nanowires have enhanced sensor performance to allow for cancer biomarker detection, like circulating tumor cells, nucleic acids, proteins and metabolites, at ultra-low concentrations. However, several challenges need to be addressed before electrochemical biosensors can be clinically implemented. These include improving sensor selectivity in complex biological media, device miniaturization for implantable applications, integration with data analytics, handling biomarker variability, and navigating regulatory approval. This editorial critically examines the prospects of electrochemical biosensors for efficient, low-cost and minimally invasive cancer screening. We discuss recent developments in nanotechnology, microfabrication, electronics integration, multiplexing, and machine learning that can help realize the potential of these sensors. However, significant interdisciplinary efforts among researchers, clinicians, regulators and the healthcare industry are still needed to tackle limitations in selectivity, size constraints, data interpretation, biomarker validation, toxicity and commercial translation. With committed resources and pragmatic strategies, electrochemical biosensors could enable routine early cancer detection and dramatically reduce the global cancer burden.

Abstract
In situ and real-time determination of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in physiological and pathological processes is a great challenge due to their ultrashort lifetime. Herein, an electrochemical method was developed by using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a trapping probe for rapid determination of •OH in aqueous solution. When DMSO reacted with •OH, an intermediate product methane sulfinic acid (MSIA) was formed, which can be electrochemically oxidized to methanesulfonic acid (MSA) on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), resulting in a distinct voltammetric signal that is directly proportional to the concentration of •OH. Other commonly encountered reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hypochlorite anions (ClO-), superoxide anions (O2•-), sulfate radicals (SO4•-), and singlet oxygen (1O2), have showed no interference for •OH determination. Thus, an electrochemical method was developed for the determination of •OH, which exhibits a wide linear range (0.4-5120 μM) and a low limit detection of 0.13 μM (S/N = 3) and was successfully applied for the quantification of •OH in aqueous extracts of cigarette tar (ACT). Alternatively, the same reaction mechanism is also applicable for the determination of DMSO, in which a linear range of 40-320 μM and a detection limit 13.3 μM (S/N = 3) was achieved. The method was used for the evaluation of DMSO content in cell cryopreservation medium. This work demonstrated that DMSO can serve as an electrochemical probe and has valuable application potential in radical study, biological research, and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic, insidious, and progressive neurodegenerative disease that remains a clinical challenge for society. The fully approved drug lecanemab exhibits the prospect of therapy against the pathological processes, while debatable adverse events conflict with the drug concentration required for the anticipated therapeutic effects. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathological progression of AD, as has been demonstrated in much research regarding oxidative stress (OS). The contradiction between anticipated dosage and adverse event may be resolved through targeted transport by biomaterials and get therapeutic effects through pathological progression via regulation of ROS. Besides, biomaterials fix delivery issues by promoting the penetration of drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), protecting the drug from peripheral degradation, and elevating bioavailability. The goal is to comprehensively understand the mechanisms of ROS in the progression of AD disease and the potential of ROS-related biomaterials in the treatment of AD. This review focuses on OS and its connection with AD and novel biomaterials in recent years against AD via OS to inspire novel biomaterial development. Revisiting these biomaterials and mechanisms associated with OS in AD via thorough investigations presents a considerable potential and bright future for improving effective interventions for AD.

Abstract
Herein, we present a new and simple electrochemical method to detect the intracellular electroactive substances by utilizing the electron tunnelling processes at the metal nanoparticles inside the cells. Intriguing discrete oxidation and reduction current spikes are obtained when testing the cells with loaded Au nanoparticles at the ultramicroelectrodes, which should come from reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the single cell. The charges enclosed in the current spikes represent the ROS content inside the living cells, as confirmed by the fluorescence studies. As this simple electron tunnelling approach needs no nanoelectrodes or nanotip penetration processes, we believe it could have great potential applications in electrochemical analysis of single living cells.

Abstract
Small molecules in plants - such as metabolites, phytohormones, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inorganic ions - participate in the processes of plant growth and development, physiological metabolism, and stress response. Wearable electrochemical sensors, known for their fast response, high sensitivity, and minimal plant damage, serve as ideal tools for dynamically tracking these small molecules. Such sensors provide producers or agricultural researchers with noninvasive or minimally invasive means of obtaining plant signals. In this review we explore the applications of wearable electrochemical sensors in detecting plant small molecules, enabling scientific assessment of plant conditions, quantification of environmental stresses, and facilitation of plant health monitoring and disease prediction.

Abstract
Cell energy metabolism is a complex and multifaceted process by which some of the most important nutrients, particularly glucose and other sugars, are transformed into energy. This complexity is a result of dynamic interactions between multiple components, including ions, metabolic intermediates, and products that arise from biochemical reactions, such as glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), the two main metabolic pathways that provide adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of chemical energy driving various physiological activities. Impaired cell energy metabolism and perturbations or dysfunctions in associated metabolites are frequently implicated in numerous diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders. As a result, altered metabolites hold value as potential disease biomarkers. Electrochemical biosensors are attractive devices for the early diagnosis of many diseases and disorders based on biomarkers due to their advantages of efficiency, simplicity, low cost, high sensitivity, and high selectivity in the detection of anomalies in cellular energy metabolism, including key metabolites involved in glycolysis and mitochondrial processes, such as glucose, lactate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutamate, and ATP, both in vivo and in vitro. This paper offers a detailed examination of electrochemical biosensors for the detection of glycolytic and mitochondrial metabolites, along with their many applications in cell chips and wearable sensors.

Abstract
Malignant tumors pose a serious risk to human health. Ascorbic acid (AA) has potential for tumor therapy; however, the mechanism underlying the ability of AA to selectively kill tumor cells remains unclear. AA can cause redox disequilibrium in tumor cells, resulting in the release of abundant reactive oxygen species, represented by hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). Therefore, the detection of H2 O2 changes can provide insight into the selective killing mechanism of AA against tumor cells. In this work, inspired by the ion-exchange mechanism in coral formation, a flexible H2 O2 sensor (PtNFs/CoPi@CC) is constructed to monitor the dynamics of H2 O2 in the cell microenvironment, which exhibits excellent sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution. Moreover, the findings suggest that dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the oxidation product of AA, is highly possible the substance that actually acts on tumor cells in AA therapy. Additionally, the intracellular redox disequilibrium and H2 O2 release caused by DHA are positively correlated with the abundance and activity of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). In conclusion, this work has revealed the potential mechanism underlying the ability of AA to selectively kill tumor cells through the construction and use of PtNFs/CoPi@CC. The findings provide new insights into the clinical application of AA.

Abstract
Brain-on-a-chip (BoC) devices show typical characteristics of brain complexity, including the presence of different cell types, separation in different compartments, tissue-like three-dimensionality, and inclusion of the extracellular matrix components. Moreover, the incorporation of a vascular system mimicking the blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes BoC particularly attractive, since they can be exploited to test the brain delivery of different drugs and nanoformulations. In this review, we introduce the main innovations in BoC and BBB-on-a-chip models, especially focusing sensorization: electrical, electrochemical, and optical biosensors permit the real-time monitoring of different biological phenomena and markers, such as the release of growth factors, the expression of specific receptors/biomarkers, the activation of immune cells, cell viability, cell-cell interactions, and BBB crossing of drugs and nanoparticles. The recent improvements in signal amplification, miniaturization, and multiplication of the sensors are discussed in an effort to highlight their benefits versus limitations and delineate future challenges in this field.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key regulators in numerous pathological contexts, including cancer or inflammation. Their role is complex, which justifies the need for methods enabling their quantitative and time-resolved monitoring in vivo, in the perspective to profile tissues of individual patients. However, current ROS detection methods do not provide these features. Here, we propose a new method based on the imaging of lanthanide-ion nanoparticles (GdVO4:Eu), whose photoluminescence is modulated by the surrounding ROS concentration. We monitored their luminescence after intradermic injection in a mouse ear submitted to an inflammation-inducing topical stimulus. Based on this approach, we quantified the ROS concentration after inflammation induction and identified a two-step kinetics of ROS production, which may be attributed to the response of resident immune cells and their further recruitment at the inflammation locus.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to exert a significant impact on global mortality rates, encompassing conditions like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), atherosclerosis (AS), and myocardial infarction (MI). Oxidative stress (OS) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and advancement of CVDs, highlighting its significance as a contributing factor. Maintaining an equilibrium between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant systems not only aids in mitigating oxidative stress but also confers protective benefits on cardiac health. Herbal monomers can inhibit OS in CVDs by activating multiple signaling pathways, such as increasing the activity of endogenous antioxidant systems and decreasing the level of ROS expression. Given the actions of herbal monomers to significantly protect the normal function of the heart and reduce the damage caused by OS to the organism. Hence, it is imperative to recognize the significance of herbal monomers as prospective therapeutic interventions for mitigating oxidative damage in CVDs. This paper aims to comprehensively review the origins and mechanisms underlying OS, elucidate the intricate association between CVDs and OS, and explore the therapeutic potential of antioxidant treatment utilizing herbal monomers. Furthermore, particular emphasis will be placed on examining the cardioprotective effects of herbal monomers by evaluating their impact on cardiac signaling pathways subsequent to treatment.

[PMID: 37367023 DOI: 10.3390/bios13060658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the important reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is closely related to many pathological and physiological processes in living organisms. Excessive H2O2 can lead to cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other diseases, so it is necessary to detect H2O2 in living cells. Since this work designed a novel fluorescent probe to detect the concentration of H2O2, the H2O2 reaction group arylboric acid was attached to the fluorescein 3-Acetyl-7-hydroxycoumarin as a specific recognition group for the selective detection of hydrogen peroxide. The experimental results show that the probe can effectively detect H2O2 with high selectivity and measure cellular ROS levels. Therefore, this novel fluorescent probe provides a potential monitoring tool for a variety of diseases caused by H2O2 excess.

Abstract
Reliable H2O2 sensors for in situ cellular monitoring under drug stimulation can be developed as a powerful and versatile tool for drug evaluation. Herein, a novel electrochemical biosensor capable of detecting and quantifying H2O2 was fabricated by graphene and shape-controlled gold nanostructures. With the help of polyelectrolytes, gold exhibited hierarchical flower-like nanostructures. This kind of nanozyme material exhibited a prominent electrochemical response for H2O2. Electrocatalytic activity for H2O2 reduction with high sensitivity (5.07◊10-4 mA μmol L-1 cm-2) and good detection capability (the lowest detection limit is 4.5 μmol L-1 (S/N = 3)) were achieved. This electrochemical biosensor was successfully used to measure the concentration of H2O2 released from HepG2 hepatoma cells. Ascorbic acid (AA) and Camellia nitidissima Chi saponins (CNCS) were selected as model drugs, and their anticancer activities were compared by in situ monitoring of H2O2. Interestingly, the electrochemical sensor showed remarkable sensitivity, accuracy, and rapidity compared with the traditional enzymatic detection kit. In brief, the as-synthesized nanostructured H2O2 sensors can be applied to assess the antitumor properties of candidate drugs and inspire developments for personalized health care monitoring and cancer treatment.

Abstract
Low temperature plasma technology is proving to be at the frontier of emerging medical technologies with real potential to overcome escalating healthcare challenges including antimicrobial and anticancer resistance. However, significant improvements in efficacy, safety, and reproducibility of plasma treatments need to be addressed to realize the full clinical potential of the technology. To improve plasma treatments recent research has focused on integrating automated feedback control systems into medical plasma technologies to maintain optimal performance and safety. However, more advanced diagnostic systems are still needed to provide data into feedback control systems with sufficient levels of sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility. These diagnostic systems need to be compatible with the biological target and to also not perturb the plasma treatment. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art electronic and optical sensors that might be suitable to address this unmet technological need, and the steps needed to integrate these sensors into autonomous plasma systems. Realizing this technological gap could facilitate the development of next-generation medical plasma technologies with strong potential to yield superior healthcare outcomes.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play distinct but important roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes. Recent studies on osteoarthritis (OA) have suggested that ROS plays a crucial role in its development and progression, serving as key mediators in the degradation of the extracellular matrix, mitochondrial dysfunction, chondrocyte apoptosis, and OA progression. With the continuous development of nanomaterial technology, the ROS-scavenging ability and antioxidant effects of nanomaterials are being explored, with promising results already achieved in OA treatment. However, current research on nanomaterials as ROS scavengers for OA is relatively non-uniform and includes both inorganic and functionalized organic nanomaterials. Although the therapeutic efficacy of nanomaterials has been reported to be conclusive, there is still no uniformity in the timing and potential of their use in clinical practice. This paper reviews the nanomaterials currently used as ROS scavengers for OA treatment, along with their mechanisms of action, with the aim of providing a reference and direction for similar studies, and ultimately promoting the early clinical use of nanomaterials for OA treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Nanomaterials serving as promising ROS scavengers have gained increasing attention in recent years. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ROS production and regulation, as well as their role in OA pathogenesis. Furthermore, this review highlights the applications of various types of nanomaterials as ROS scavengers in OA treatment and their mechanisms of action. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of nanomaterial-based ROS scavengers in OA therapy are discussed.

Abstract
Cell's activities are highly dependent on signal molecules, of which reactive oxygen species of the superoxide anion (O2•-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are important ones that always work together to regulate biological processes such as apoptosis and oxidative stress. It is of significance to realize simultaneous qualification of O2•- and H2O2 but it still faces challenges particularly in live-cell assay with a complex environment. We report the design of a bifunctional sensing material by interfacially regulating ZIF-67 on bacteria Shewanella putrefaciens to generate cobalt nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanorods (Co/N-doped CNRs) and its sensing chip for qualifying cell-released O2•- and H2O2. Co/N-doped CNRs exhibit unique properties including porous structure for significantly increased reaction surface area and coordinating Co nanoparticles for rich active sites. The bifunctional Co/N-doped CNRs is used to fabricate the electrochemical sensing chip, which achieves a fast response time (0.5 s for O2•-, 1.9 s for H2O2), a low detection limit (0.69 nM for O2•-, 2.25 μM for H2O2), and a remarkably high sensitivity (792.30 μA·μM-1·cm-2 for O2•-, 153.91 μA·mM-1·cm-2 for H2O2), among the best of reported bifunctional nanozymes.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as the third gas transporter in biological systems, plays a key role in the regulation of biological cells. Real-time detection of local H2S concentration in vivo is an important and challenging task. Herein, we explored a novel and facile strategy to develop a flexible and transparent H2S sensor based on gold nanowire (AuNW) and carbon nanotube (CNT) films embedded in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) (AuNWs/CNTs/PDMS). Taking the advantage of the sandwich-like nanostructured network of AuNWs/CNTs, the prepared electrochemical sensing platform exhibited desirable electrocatalytic activity toward H2S oxidation with a wide linear range (5 nM to 24.9 μM) and a low dete ction limit (3 nM). Furthermore, thanks to the good biocompatibility and flexibility of the sensor, HeLa cells can be cultured directly on the electrode, allowing real-time monitoring of H2S released from cells under a stretched state. This work provides a versatile strategy for the construction of stretchable electrochemical sensors, which has potential applications in the study of H2S-related signal mechanotransduction and pathological processes.

A Background-Free SERS Strategy for Sensitive Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27227918.

Abstract
The accurate and sensitive detection of biomolecules by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is possible, but remains challenging due to the interference from biomolecules in complex samples. Herein, a new SERS sensor is developed for background-free detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with an ultralow detection limit (1 × 10-10 mol/L), using a Raman-silent strategy. The Au microparticles (Au-RSMPs) resembling rose-stones are devised as SERS substrates with a high enhancement effect, and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) is selected as an H2O2-responsive Raman reporter. Upon the reaction with H2O2, the phenylboronic group of 4-MPBA was converted to a phenol group, which subsequently reacted with 4-diazonium-phenylalkyne (4-DP), an alkyne-carrying molecule via the azo reaction. The formed product exhibits an intense and sharp SERS signal in the Raman-silent region, avoiding interference of impurities and biomolecules. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we show that this SERS sensor possesses significant merits towards the determination of H2O2 in terms of broad linear range, low limit of detection, and high selectivity, showing promise for the quantitative analysis of H2O2 in complicated biological samples.

Quaternary Ammonium-Tethered Phenylboronic Acids Appended Supramolecular Nanomicelles as a Promising Bacteria Targeting Carrier for Nitric Oxide Delivery. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14204451.

Abstract
The delivery of drugs to focal sites is a central goal and a key challenge in the development of nanomedicine carriers. This strategy can improve the selectivity and bioavailability of the drug while reducing its toxicity. To ensure the specific release of nitric oxide at the site of a bacterial infection without damaging the surrounding normal tissue, we designed a host-guest molecule containing a host molecule with a target moiety and a nitric oxide donor to release nitric oxide. The boronic acid group in the structure of this nanoparticle interacts strongly and specifically with the surface of E. coli. In addition, the quaternary amine salt can interact electrostatically with bacteria, indicating a large number of negatively charged cell membranes; altering the molecular structure of the cell membrane; increasing the permeability of the cell membrane; and causing cytoplasmic diffusion and cell lysis, resulting in lethal activity against most bacteria. The synthesised molecules were characterised by 1H NMR and mass spectrometry. The strong specific interaction of the boronic acid moiety with the surface of E. coli and the electrostatic interaction of the quaternary amine salt with the cell membrane were confirmed by antibacterial experiments on molecules with and without the targeting moiety. The targeting group-modified micelles enhanced the antibacterial effect of the micelles very effectively through specific interactions and electrostatic interactions. In addition, in vitro skin wound healing experiments also confirmed the targeting and antimicrobial effect of micelles. These results suggest that the specific release of nitric oxide at the site of bacterial infection is an important guide to further address the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

Abstract
Electrostimulation (ES) is an important therapeutic method for diseases caused by abnormal intracellular electrical activity. Also, it can induce apoptosis of cells, which is a potential tumor treatment method. At present, there are no relevant studies on changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels produced in the process of ES, or on the effects of simultaneous implementation of conventional antioxidant inhibitor drugs and ES therapy. To reveal these, two organelle-targeting core-shell plasmonic probes were designed for measuring ROS produced during ES. The probes were delivered into target organelles (nucleus and mitochondrion) before the cells were electrically stimulated for different periods of time. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals were detected in situ, and the sensing mechanism for the quantitative analysis of ROS is based on the signal reduction of SERS caused by the ROS-etching effect on the silver shell. The detection results revealed that ES could trigger ROS generation in cells, and the ROS levels localized around organelles were assessed by SERS. This study has great potential for exploring abnormal organelle microenvironments via organelle-targeting probes combined with SERS technology.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) involving superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical play important role in human health. ROS are known to be the markers of oxidative stress associated with different pathologies including neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, as well as cancer. Accordingly, ROS level detection in biological systems is an essential problem for biomedical and analytical research. Electrochemical methods seem to have promising prospects in ROS determination due to their high sensitivity, rapidity, and simple equipment. This review demonstrates application of modern electrochemical sensors for ROS detection in biological objects (e.g., cell lines and body fluids) over a decade between 2011 and 2021. Particular attention is paid to sensors materials and various types of modifiers for ROS selective detection. Moreover, the sensors comparative characteristics, their main advantages, disadvantages and their possibilities and limitations are discussed.

Enhanced treatment of cerebral ischemia-Reperfusion injury by intelligent nanocarriers through the regulation of neurovascular units. Acta Biomater 2022; 147:314-326. [PMID: 35588994 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.05.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Reperfusion injury is one of the major causes of disability and death caused by ischemic stroke, and drug development focuses mainly on single neuron protection. However, different kinds of cells in the neurovascular units (NVUs), including neurons, microglia and vascular endothelial cells, are pathologically changed after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, resulting in an urgent need to develop a drug delivery system to comprehensively protect the kinds of cells involved in the NVU. Herein, we have constructed a c(RGDyK) peptide modified, NF-κB inhibitor caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE)-loaded and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) stimuli-responsive liposomal nanocarrier (R-Lipo-CAPE) to target ischemic lesions and then remodel the NVU to reduce the progression of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The R-Lipo-CAPE liposomes were approximately 170 nm with a zeta potential of -30.8 ± 0.2 mV. The in vitro CAPE release behavior from R-Lipo-CAPE showed an RNS-dependent pattern. For in vivo studies, transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO) model mice treated with R-Lipo-CAPE had the least neurological impairment and decreased brain tissue damage, with an infarct area of 13%, compared with those treated with saline of 53% or free CAPE of 38%. Furthermore, microglia in the ischemic brain were polarized to the tissue-repairing M2 phenotype after R-Lipo-CAPE treatment. In addition, R-Lipo-CAPE-treated mice displayed a prominent down-regulated expression of MMP-9 and restored expression of the tight junction protein claudin-5. This proof-of-concept indicates that R-Lipo-CAPE is a promising nanomedicine for the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury through the regulation of neurovascular units. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Based on the complex mechanism and difficulty in treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, the overall regulation of neurovascular unit has become an extremely important target. However, little nanomedicine has been directed to remodel the neurovascular units in targeted cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury therapy. Here, c(RGDyK) peptide modified reactive nitrogen species (RNS) stimuli-responsive liposomal nanocarrier loaded with a NF-κB inhibitor (CAPE), was designed to simultaneously regulate various cells in the microenvironment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury to remodel the neurovascular units. Our in vitro and in vivo data showed that the intelligent nanocarrier exerted the ability of pathological signal stimuli-responsive drug release, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury site targeting and neurovascular units remodeling through reducing neuron apoptosis, regulating microglia polarization and repairing vascular endothelial cell. Overall, the intelligent liposomal drug delivery system was a promising and safe nanomedicine in the perspective of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury treatment.

Abstract
In vivo, endothelial cells are permanently subjected to dynamic cyclic stretch and adapt to it through the release of vasoactive substances. Among them, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) are indispensable redox molecules, the contents of which and their ratio are closely implicated with endothelial redox homeostasis. However, simultaneous and quantitative monitoring of ROS and NO release in endothelial mechanotransduction remains a great challenge. Herein, a stretchable electrochemical device is developed with a dual electrode based on gold nanotubes decorated with uniform and tiny platinum nanoparticles. This hybrid nanostructure endows the sensor with high sensitivity toward both hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (as the most stable ROS) and NO electrooxidation. Importantly, the two species can be well discriminated by applying different potentials, which allows simultaneous monitoring of H2O2 and NO release in stretch-induced endothelial mechanotransduction by the same device. The results of quantitative analysis suggest that endothelial redox homeostasis and its alteration are strongly related to vascular biomechanical and biochemical milieus. Further investigation reveals that the interplay of ROS and NO signaling has an important role in the regulation of endothelial redox state. This work will greatly facilitate the deep understanding of the molecular mechanism of endothelial dysfunction and vascular disorder.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO - ) is one of the important reactive oxygen species, which plays a vital role in the physiological process of intracellular redox balance. Revealing the biological functions of ONOO - will contribute to further understanding of the oxidative process of organisms. In this work, we designed and synthesized a novel red-emitting fluorescent probe MCSA for the detection of ONOO - , which could rapidly respond to ONOO - within 250 s and exhibited high sensitivity to ONOO - with a low detection limit of 78 nM. Co-localization experiments demonstrated MCSA had the ability to localize into the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. What's more, MCSA enabled monitoring ONOO - level changes during tunicamycin-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress. We have also successfully achieved the visual detection of exogenous and endogenous ONOO - in living cells and zebrafish. This work presented a chemical tool for imaging ONOO - in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
A kind of organic-inorganic hybrid silica nanoparticles loaded with 1,8-naphthalimide borate ester (NIB@SiO2) was used to detect trace hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapor via turn-off mechanism. The detailed studies showed that utilizing silica nanoparticles can improve the adsorption properties and hydrophilicity of the sensing film, accelerate the deboronation reaction between the sensing material and H2O2, and then shorten the response time successively, which is always the disturbing challenge for this deboronation-type fluorescent probe to H2O2 vapor. The fluorescence of NIB@SiO2 film was quenched greatly under H2O2 saturated vapor within 5 s at room temperature and limit of detection (LOD) was estimated to be 184 ppt, which are among the best reported results. Thus, this study provides an ultrafast and highly sensitive organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent probe to H2O2 vapor, moreover, a new design strategy for promising H2O2 fluorescent probe is revealed.

Abstract
The overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequent oxidative stress contribute to the pathogenesis of acute and chronic liver diseases. It is now acknowledged that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized as a redox-centered disease due to the role of ROS in hepatic metabolism. However, the underlying mechanisms accounting for these alternations are not completely understood. Several nuclear receptors (NRs) are dysregulated in NAFLD, and have a direct influence on the expression of a set of genes relating to the progress of hepatic lipid homeostasis and ROS generation. Meanwhile, the NRs act as redox sensors in response to metabolic stress. Therefore, targeting NRs may represent a promising strategy for improving oxidation damage and treating NAFLD. This review summarizes the link between impaired lipid metabolism and oxidative stress and highlights some NRs involved in regulating oxidant/antioxidant turnover in the context of NAFLD, shedding light on potential therapies based on NR-mediated modulation of ROS generation and lipid accumulation.

Abstract
Two different electrochemical sensors (Hemin-G4/Au/GCE and Hemin-G4/Au/ITO) were developed and applied to explore the electrocatalytic capacity of H2O2 reduction. Due to the excellent catalytic activity of Hemin-G4 and high conductivity of gold nanoparticles, both electrodes show excellent electrochemical performances towards H2O2 with a low LOD (0.67 μM for Hemin-G4/Au/GCE and 0.65 μM for Hemin-G4/Au/ITO), rapid response (<4 s), and high selectivity and sensitivity (314.33 μA mM-1 cm-2 for Hemin-G4/Au/GCE and 322.22 μA mM-1 cm-2 for Hemin-G4/Au/ITO). The two electrodes allow sensitive capture of H2O2 produced by A549 cells. Compared with the conventional method of detection in cell suspensions, an ITO electrode with a large specific surface area and good biocompatibility can provide a promising platform for cell adhesion, so as to realize real-time and in situ detection of extracellular H2O2. The experimental results show that A549 cells can adhere to the surface of the Hemin-G4/Au/ITO electrode and grow well. This is benefitted from the three-dimensional structure of the Hemin-G4/Au hydrogel, which provides a suitable microenvironment for cell adhesion and growth. Furthermore, the in situ detection shows a faster response time than that of in-solution detection. This is because the H2O2 generated by the cells can be directly captured by the ITO electrode, which avoids diffusion from the solution to the electrode. These results indicate that the self-supporting hydrogel modified ITO electrode has great application prospects in basic biomedical research and continuous dynamic surveillance of diseases.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) act as versatile coordinators for the subsequent synthesis of high-performance catalysts by providing dispersed metal-ion distribution, initial coordination condition, dopant atom ratios, and so on. In this work, a crystalline MOF trans-[Cu(NO3)2(Him)4] was synthesized as the novel precursor of a redox-alternating CuxO electrochemical catalyst. Through simple temperature modulation, the gradual transformation toward a highly active nanocomposite was characterized to ascertain the signal enhancing mechanism in H2O2 reduction. Owing to the proprietary structure of the transducer material and its ensuing high activity, a proof-of-principle sensor was able to provide an amplified sensitivity of 2330 μA mM-1 cm-2. The facile one-pot preparation and intrinsic nonenzymatic nature also suggests its wide potentials in medical settings.

Abstract
Biological stimuli that are present during the pathogenesis of disease have gained considerable interest as a critical element for the design of smart drug delivery systems. Recently, the utilization of biological stimuli-responsive (bioresponsive) nanotheranostic agents to treat atherosclerosis and ischemic-related diseases has demonstrated significant outcomes in preclinical studies. Those diseases share similar hallmarks, including high levels of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), low pH, and high enzyme activity. Interestingly, other relevant biological stimuli such as shear stress, cholesterol, and glutathione have recently been explored as internal stimuli to trigger drug release and some particular actions. In addition, a number of strategies can be proposed to enhance their targeting efficiency, diagnostic properties, and efficacy rate. This review discusses recent advancements in the preclinical studies of bioresponsive nanotherapeutics as diagnostic and therapeutic agents against atherosclerosis and ischemic-related diseases as well as some potential strategies to overcome the current limitations.
