Fluorescent-based nanosensors for selective detection of a wide range of biological macromolecules: A comprehensive review. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 206:115-147. [PMID: 35231532 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.02.137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Thanks to their unique attributes, such as good sensitivity, selectivity, high surface-to-volume ratio, and versatile optical and electronic properties, fluorescent-based bioprobes have been used to create highly sensitive nanobiosensors to detect various biological and chemical agents. These sensors are superior to other analytical instrumentation techniques like gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis for being biodegradable, eco-friendly, and more economical, operational, and cost-effective. Moreover, several reports have also highlighted their application in the early detection of biomarkers associated with drug-induced organ damage such as liver, kidney, or lungs. In the present work, we comprehensively overviewed the electrochemical sensors that employ nanomaterials (nanoparticles/colloids or quantum dots, carbon dots, or nanoscaled metal-organic frameworks, etc.) to detect a variety of biological macromolecules based on fluorescent emission spectra. In addition, the most important mechanisms and methods to sense amino acids, protein, peptides, enzymes, carbohydrates, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, vitamins, ions, metals, and electrolytes, blood gases, drugs (i.e., anti-inflammatory agents and antibiotics), toxins, alkaloids, antioxidants, cancer biomarkers, urinary metabolites (i.e., urea, uric acid, and creatinine), and pathogenic microorganisms were outlined and compared in terms of their selectivity and sensitivity. Altogether, the small dimensions and capability of these nanosensors for sensitive, label-free, real-time sensing of chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical agents could be used in array-based screening and in-vitro or in-vivo diagnostics. Although fluorescent nanoprobes are widely applied in determining biological macromolecules, unfortunately, they present many challenges and limitations. Efforts must be made to minimize such limitations in utilizing such nanobiosensors with an emphasis on their commercial developments. We believe that the current review can foster the wider incorporation of nanomedicine and will be of particular interest to researchers working on fluorescence technology, material chemistry, coordination polymers, and related research areas.

Abstract
A novel bifunctional-group multi-purpose dye probe p-TNS has been designed and synthesized. The probe p-TNS has unique excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB) coupled system, was confirmed to detect cyanide and hydrazine by blocking the ESIPT effect. Cyanide can change the fluorescence of the solution from bright green to orange-red (116 nm Stokes shift), while hydrazine causes the bright green fluorescence to be quenched. The recognition mechanism of the probe p-TNS to CN- and N2H4 was proposed reasonably through spectral characterizations and theoretical calculations. Combined with theoretical calculations, it was speculated that the solvent dependence may be caused by the ICT effect in the molecule. The probe p-TNS could be prepared into test strips for the detection of cyanide and hydrazine. In addition, the probe molecule can also be used to detect trace amounts of cyanide in agricultural products, and respond to gaseous hydrazine by direct contact, indicating that the probe p-TNS has good practical application prospects. Therefore, this molecular framework provides a new way of thinking about detecting multiple target substances.

Abstract
Emergence of a captivating phenomenon aggregation induced emission (AIE) in the early years of 21st century attracted worldwide researchers. In the last two decades various novel AIE active biocompatible small molecules, macromolecules and polymers have been developed for diverse biomedical applications. Imaging of specific organelle such as mitochondria, ribosomes, nuclei and many others play important in the controlling and successful treatment of various diseases. Conventional luminescent probe molecules used in the imaging at cellular or subcellular level exhibit very weak emission on dispersion or on aggregation in aqueous media. AIE luminogens development is indispensable to overcome the notorious aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) issue inherited by conventional fluorophores. In the present chapter we mostly highlighted over one decade development of various AIE active luminogens utilized for imaging of cell nucleus, nucleon and nucleic acids. The development of those AIE luminogens exhibits promising results in the early diagnosis of cancer diseases.

Abstract
An iodine-catalyzed, environmentally benign one-pot methodology has been developed for the synthesis of diverse substituted imidazoles. This transition-metal-free, aerobic, water-mediated cyclization reaction is operationally simple and works well with different amines or aldehydes by multiple C-N bond formations with satisfactory yield. The methodology is regioselective as well as scalable. These imidazole derivatives show excellent fluorescence properties both in the solid and solution phase, which is further extended to live-cell imaging. Due to the suitable fluorescence properties of these scaffolds, lysosome-directing groups are incorporated in two of these derivatized imidazoles to track intracellular lysosomes. Successfully, those molecules show bright blue fluorescence while detecting lysosomes in human or murine cells and can be considered to be rapid lysosome-staining probes.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorescent dyes based on small organic molecules are believed to have a great influence on cancer diagnosis at large and targeted cancer cell bioimaging, in particular. NIR dyes-based organic molecules have notable characteristics features, such as high tissue penetration and low tissue autofluorescence in the NIR spectral region. Cancer targeted bioimaging relies significantly on the synthesis of highly specific molecular probes with excellent stability. Recently, NIR dyes have emerged as unique fluorescent probes for cancer bioimaging. These current advancements have overcome many limitations of conventional NIR probes e.g., poor photostability and hydrophilicity, insufficient stability and low quantum yield. The further potential lies in NIR dyes or NIR dyes-coated nanocarriers conjugated with cancer-specific ligand (e.g., peptides, antibodies, proteins or other small molecules). Multifunctional NIR dyes have synthesized, which efficiently accumulate in cancer cells without requiring chemical conjugation and also these dyes have presented novel photophysical and pharmaceutical properties for in vivo imaging. This review highlights the recently developed NIR dyes with novel applications in cancer bioimaging. We believe that these novel fluorophores will enhance our understanding of cancer imaging and pave a new road in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Nanomedicines refer to the application of nanotechnology in disease diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. Bioimaging provides crucial biological information for disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Fluorescent bioimaging shows the advantages of good contrast and a vast variety of signal readouts and yet suffers from imaging depth due to the background noise from the autofluorescence of tissue and light scattering. Near-infrared fluorescent lifetime bioimaging (NIR- FLTB) suppresses such background noises and significantly improves signal-to-background ratio. This article gives an overview of recent advances in NIR- FLTB using organic compounds and nanomaterials as contrast agent (CA). The advantages and disadvantages of each CA are discussed in detail. We survey relevant reports about NIR-FLTB in recent years and summarize important findings or progresses. In addition, emerging hybrid bioimaging techniques are introduced, such as ultrasound-modulated FLTB. The challenges and an outlook for NIR- FLTB development are discussed at the end, aiming to provide references and inspire new ideas for future nanomedicine development.

Abstract
Molecular probes suitable for different fluorescence imaging technologies can meet the requirements of different scientific research in biological applications. In this work, a naphthalimide-cyanine-based sulfonamide was used to specifically visualize the glutathione of mouse tissues with a two-photon manner for the naphthalimide moiety and a near-infrared manner for the cyanine moiety, respectively. The results showed that this probe served as a dual-model tissue-imaging agent for visualization of glutathione with around 200 μm imaging depth in a two-photon manner and 120 μm imaging depth in a near-infrared manner, which provided a model for tissue imaging in the visible and near-infrared channels.

Abstract
A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) cytosensor was proposed for the quantitative detection of HeLa cells (human cervical cancer cells) with the help of a signal amplification strategy. Firstly, the Au-NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocomposites were prepared by a simple in situ hydrothermal method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, UV-vis spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. Compared with the bare NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocomposites, the ECL intensity of Au-NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocomposites was greatly enhanced by about 4.2-fold which can be attributed to the good conductivity of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The nanocomposites showed high and stable ECL emission, fast response and superior conductivity, all of which were advantageous to the ECL detection. Furthermore, HeLa cells were immobilized on the modified electrode via the interaction between folic acid and a folate receptor present on the cell surface. The ECL cytosensor showed satisfactory sensitive response to HeLa cells in a linear range of 4.25 × 102-4.25 × 105 cells per mL with a low detection limit of 326 cells per mL. The proposed cytosensor had good sensitivity and stability, which can offer a great potential platform for bioassay analysis.

Abstract
A tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivative substituted with a sulfonyl-based naphthalimide unit (TPE-Np) was designed and synthesized. Its optical properties in solution and in the solid state were investigated. Photophysical properties indicated that the target molecule, TPE-Np, possessed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior, although the linkage between TPE and the naphthalimide unit was nonconjugated. Additionally, it exhibited an unexpected, highly reversible mechanochromism in the solid state, which was attributed to the change in manner of aggregation between crystalline and amorphous states. On the other hand, a solution of TPE-Np in a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide/phosphate-buffered saline was capable of efficiently distinguishing glutathione (GSH) from cysteine and homocysteine in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Furthermore, the strategy of using poly(ethylene glycol)-polyethylenimine (PEG-PEI) nanogel as a carrier to cross-link TPE-Np to obtain a water-soluble PEG-PEI/TPE-Np nanoprobe greatly improved the biocompatibility, and this nanoprobe could be successfully applied in the visualization of GSH levels in living cells.

Abstract
Abnormal level of proteins is proved to be associated with diseases. Thus, protein sensing is helpful for clinical diagnosis and therapy. However, there is a great variety of protein species and relatively low concentration of each protein in complicated biological systems including other nonprotein biomolecules. Therefore, it remains challenging to develop an effective method for detecting protein with high selectivity and sensitivity. Herein, a new self-assembly method based on a robust dye SQSS of which two squaraine molecules were conjugated through disulfide bond was developed for highly selective and sensitive detection of serum albumin (SA) in aqueous solution and live cells. SQSS can self-assemble into "compact" aggregates, offering "inert" disulfide group and very low background fluorescence through the combination of aggregation quenching and homogeneous fluorescence resonance energy transfer (homoFRET) quenching. The response of SQSS to SA undergoes two cascade stages. At the first stage, SA drives the compact assemblies of SQSS to form loose ones with fast speed (30 s) through noncovalent interaction, resulting in the enhancement of fluorescence to some extent. In this loose assembly state, the disulfide bond in SQSS is reactive. At the second stage, the Cys34 in SA slowly induced further disassembly through covalent binding with reactive disulfide bond, resulting in fluorescence further increasing and SQSS labeling to SA that cannot be displaced by site binding ligands of SA. The self-assemblies of SQSS can selectively detect SA with continuous near-infrared (NIR) turn-on fluorescence response in 100% aqueous buffer solution. In addition, SQSS showed the potential application of imaging SA in living cells. On the other hand, the loose assembly state of SQSS was also achieved in aqueous solution with 20% CH3CN. In this media, thiol-containing glutathione (GSH) caused the disassembly of SQSS with turn-on fluorescence response through interaction with disulfide bond. SQSS can selectively recognize GSH over other amino acids even in the presence of other sulfhydryl amino acids. As a proof-of-concept method, the molecular self-assembly through multisteps interactions would provide an ideal strategy for detection and live-cell imaging of biorelated molecules with high selectivity and signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract
In vivo visualization of cell migration and engraftment in small animals provide crucial information in biomedical studies. Semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) are emerging as superior probes for biological imaging. However, in vivo whole-body fluorescence imaging is largely constrained by the limited brightness of Pdots in near-infrared (NIR) region. Here, we describe the brightness enhancement of NIR fluorescent Pdots for in vivo whole-body cell tracking in deep organs. We first synthesize semiconducting polymers with strong absorption in orange and far-red regions. By molecular doping, the weak broad-band fluorescence of the Pdots was significantly narrowed and enhanced by 1 order of magnitude enhancement, yielding bright narrow-band NIR emission with a quantum yield of ∼0.21. Under an excitation of far-red light (676 nm), a trace amount of Pdots (∼2 μg) in the stomach can be clearly detected in whole-body fluorescence imaging of live mice. The Pdots coated with a cell-penetrating peptide are able to brightly label cancer cells with minimal cytotoxicity. In vivo cell tracking in live mice indicated that the entrapment and migration of the tail-vein-administered cells (∼400 000) were clearly visualized in real time. These Pdots with deep-red excitation and bright NIR emission are promising for in vivo whole-body fluorescence imaging.
