SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 316:124286. [PMID: 38663135 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/15/2024]
Abstract
A simple single step one pot multicomponent reaction was performed to synthesize N-(tert-butyl)-2-(furan-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-amine (TBFIPA). The synthesized TBFIPA was subjected to library of cations to study its ability for selective and sensitive detection of specific metal ions. Selective detection of chromium ions by TBFIPA were found from the significant hypsochromic shift (335 nm → 285 nm) in the UV-Visible spectra. The fluorescent TBFIPA displays complete quenching of fluorescence under UV lamp (365 nm) only in the presence of chromium without the interference of common metal ions. Binding constant (ka) obtained from Benesi-Hildebrand plot is 0.21 × 105 M-1, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of TBFIPA toward Cr3+ ions are 4.70 × 10-7 M and 1.56 × 10-7 M, respectively. The mechanism proposed during complex formation were supported by stoichiometric Job continuous variation plot, 1H NMR titration and ESI-MS spectroscopic data. All the experimental confirmation for complex formation were corroborated with theoretical DFT studies optimized using RB3LYP/6-31G(d) basis set. The selectivity and sensitivity of TBFIPA toward Cr3+ ions are found suitable to design a user-friendly silica based portable test kit. Alongside, TBFIPA was successfully utilized for imaging onion epidermal cells. Furthermore, the results obtained for biological, environmental, and industrial samples provided solid evidence to estimate chromium ions using TBFIPA in these real samples.

NOS2 and COX-2 Co-Expression Promotes Cancer Progression: A Potential Target for Developing Agents to Prevent or Treat Highly Aggressive Breast Cancer. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6103. [PMID: 38892290 PMCID: PMC11173351 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25116103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) exert profound biological impacts dictated by their chemistry. Understanding their spatial distribution is essential for deciphering their roles in diverse biological processes. This review establishes a framework for the chemical biology of NO and RNS, exploring their dynamic reactions within the context of cancer. Concentration-dependent signaling reveals distinctive processes in cancer, with three levels of NO influencing oncogenic properties. In this context, NO plays a crucial role in cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, chemotherapy resistance, and immune suppression. Increased NOS2 expression correlates with poor survival across different tumors, including breast cancer. Additionally, NOS2 can crosstalk with the proinflammatory enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) to promote cancer progression. NOS2 and COX-2 co-expression establishes a positive feed-forward loop, driving immunosuppression and metastasis in estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer. Spatial evaluation of NOS2 and COX-2 reveals orthogonal expression, suggesting the unique roles of these niches in the tumor microenvironment (TME). NOS2 and COX2 niche formation requires IFN-γ and cytokine-releasing cells. These niches contribute to poor clinical outcomes, emphasizing their role in cancer progression. Strategies to target these markers include direct inhibition, involving pan-inhibitors and selective inhibitors, as well as indirect approaches targeting their induction or downstream effectors. Compounds from cruciferous vegetables are potential candidates for NOS2 and COX-2 inhibition offering therapeutic applications. Thus, understanding the chemical biology of NO and RNS, their spatial distribution, and their implications in cancer progression provides valuable insights for developing targeted therapies and preventive strategies.

Abstract
Viscosity is a typical physical parameter and plays an important role in nutrient transferring, diffusion process regulating and safety warning. Aberrant mitochondrial viscosity is closely associated with an imbalance in a liquid system. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of convenient and efficient tools for the mutation of viscosity detection at the molecular level. Herein, a natural product xanthohumol (XTH) was extracted from Humulus lupulus and used to measure the microenvironmental viscosity. Due to the existence of carbonyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups, a typical twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) was formed. The conjugated single and double bonds can be employed as the rotatable site. Consequently, a turn-on method based on viscosity response is developed. High sensitivity (x = 0.56) with a remarkable enhancement (55-fold) toward viscosity and a visualized fluorescent signal can be found. In addition, it displays a single selectivity with excellent photostability and pH stability in the complex liquid system. Using the extracted XTH, a typical application toward the liquid spoilage process was performed and a positive correlation was noted. Given the comprehensive properties of XTH, liquid safety inspection at a molecular level with natural source-extracted products can be obtained.

Abstract
In the pathogenesis of microglia, brain immune cells promote nitrergic stress by overproducing nitric oxide (NO), leading to neuroinflammation. Furthermore, NO has been linked to COVID-19 progression, which has caused significant morbidity and mortality. SARS-CoV-2 infection activates inflammation by releasing excess NO and causing cell death in human microglial clone 3 (HMC3). In addition, NO regulates lysosomal functions and complex machinery to neutralize pathogens through phagocytosis. Therefore, developing lysosome-specific NO probes to monitor phagocytosis in microglia during the COVID-19 infection would be a significant study. Herein, a unique synthetic strategy was adopted to develop a NO selective fluorescent probe, PDM-NO, which can discriminate activated microglia from their resting state. The nonfluorescent PDM-NO exhibits a turn-on response toward NO only at lysosomal pH (4.5-5.5). Quantum chemical calculations (DFT/TD-DFT/PCM) and photophysical study revealed that the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process is pivotal in tuning optical properties. PDM-NO demonstrated good biocompatibility and lysosomal specificity in activated HMC3 cells. Moreover, it can effectively map the dynamics of lysosomal NO against SARS-CoV-2 RNA-induced neuroinflammation in HMC3. Thus, PDM-NO is a potential fluorescent marker for detecting RNA virus infection and monitoring phagocytosis in HMC3.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:134056.

Abstract
The extensive use of antidiabetic drugs (ADDs) and their detection in high concentrations in the environment have been extensively documented. However, the mechanism of ADDs dissipation in aquatic environments is still not well understood. This study thoroughly investigates the dissipation behavior of ADDs and the underlying mechanisms in the aerobic activated sludge system. The results indicate that the removal efficiencies of ADDs range from 3.98% to 100% within 48 h, largely due to the biodegradation process. Additionally, the gene expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) is shown to be significantly upregulated in most ADDs-polluted samples (P < 0.05), indicating the vital role of CYP450 enzymes in the biodegradation of ADDs. Enzyme inhibition experiments validated this hypothesis. Moreover, molecular docking and simulation results indicate that a strong correlation between the biodegradation of ADDs and the interactions between ADDs and CYP450 (Ebinding). The differences in dissipation behavior among the tested ADDs are possibly due to their electrophilic characteristics. Overall, this study makes the initial contribution to a more profound comprehension of the crucial function of CYP450 enzymes in the dissipation behavior of ADDs in a typical aquatic environment.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a promising approach for treating infected diabetic wounds, while reliable imaging technology for simultaneous monitoring of ROS and therapeutic processes is still a formidable challenge. Herein, smart covalent organic framework (COF) nanoreactors (COF NRs) are constructed by hyaluronic acid (HA) packaged glucose oxidase (GOx) covalently linked Fe-COF for diabetic wound healing. Upon the breakdown of the HA protective layer, GOx consumes glucose to produce gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), resulting in decreased local pH and H2 O2 supplementation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that Fe-COF has high catalytic activity towards H2 O2 , leading to in situ generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) for sterilization, and the localized downregulation of glucose effectively improved the microenvironment of diabetic wounds. Meanwhile, based on the near-infrared photothermal imaging of oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (oxTMB), the authors showed that TMB can be applied for the point-of-care testing of ·OH and glucose, and assessing the sterilization progress in vivo. More significantly, the facile photothermal signaling strategy can be extended to monitor various ROS-mediated therapeutic systems, enabling accurate prediction of treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Gas therapy is emerging as a highly promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. However, there are limitations, including the lack of targeted subcellular organelle accuracy and spatiotemporal release precision, associated with gas therapy. In this study, we developed a series of photoactivatable nitric oxide (NO) donors NRh-R-NO (R = Me, Et, Bn, iPr, and Ph) based on an N-nitrosated upconversion luminescent rhodamine scaffold. Under the irradiation of 808 nm light, only NRh-Ph-NO could effectively release NO and NRh-Ph with a significant turn-on frequency upconversion luminescence (FUCL) signal at 740 nm, ascribed to lower N-N bond dissociation energy. We also investigated the involved multistage near-infrared-controlled cascade release of gas therapy, including the NO released from NRh-Ph-NO along with one NRh-Ph molecule generation, the superoxide anion O2⋅- produced by the photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect of NRh-Ph, and highly toxic peroxynitrite anion (ONOO‒) generated from the co-existence of NO and O2⋅-. After mild nano-modification, the nanogenerator (NRh-Ph-NO NPs) empowered with superior biocompatibility could target mitochondria. Under an 808 nm laser irradiation, NRh-Ph-NO NPs could induce NO/ROS to generate RNS, causing a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential and initiating apoptosis by caspase-3 activation, which further induced tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD). In vivo therapeutic results of NRh-Ph-NO NPs showed augmented RNS-potentiated gas therapy, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility and effective tumor inhibition guided by real-time FUCL imaging. Collectively, this versatile strategy defines the targeted RNS-mediated cancer therapy.

Abstract
Bacterial pneumonia is a serious respiratory illness that poses a great threat to human life. Rapid and precise diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia is crucial for symptomatic clinical treatment. Endogenous carbon monoxide (CO) is regarded as a significant indicator of bacterial pneumonia; herein, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) probe for fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) dual-mode imaging of endogenous CO in bacterial pneumonia. NO2-BODIPY could rapidly and specifically react with CO to produce strong NIR fluorescence as well as ratiometric PA signals. NO2-BODIPY has outstanding features including fast response, fluorescence/PA dual mode signals, good specificity, and a low limit of detection (LOD = 20.3 nM), which enables it to image endogenous CO in cells and bacterial pneumonia mice with high sensitivity and high contrast ratio. In particular, NO2-BODIPY has two-photon excited (1340 nm, σ1 = 1671 GM) NIR fluorescence and has been utilized to image endogenous CO in bacterial pneumonia mice with deep tissue penetration. NO2-BODIPY has been demonstrated a good capability of fluorescence/PA dual-mode imaging of CO in bacterial pneumonia mice, providing a precise manner to diagnose bacterial pneumonia.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures globally, imposing a substantial burden on patients and their families. The pathological role of peroxynitrite (ONOO-), which can trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and neuronal hyperexcitability, is critical in epilepsy. However, the development of reliable, in situ, and real-time optical imaging tools to detect ONOO- in the brain encounters some challenges related to the depth of tissue penetration, background interference, optical bleaching, and spectral overlapping. To address these limitations, we present Ir-CBM, a new one-photon and two-photon excitable and long-lived ratiometric luminescent probe designed specifically for precise detection of ONOO- in epilepsy-based on the Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism by combining an iridium(III) complex with an organic fluorophore. Ir-CBM possesses the advantages of rapid response, one-/two-photon excitation, and ratiometric luminescent imaging for monitoring the cellular levels of ONOO- and evaluating the effects of different therapeutic drugs on ONOO- in the brain of an epilepsy model rat. The development and utilization of Ir-CBM offer valuable insights into the design of ratiometric luminescent probes. Furthermore, Ir-CBM serves as a rapid imaging and screening tool for antiepileptic drugs, thereby accelerating the exploration of novel antiepileptic drug screening and improving preventive and therapeutic strategies in epilepsy research.

Abstract
Liquids, functioning as nutrients and energy systems, regulate various functions during storage programs. Microenvironmental viscosity is one of the most important physical parameters associated with the extent of deterioration, and it is crucial to monitor the mutation of viscosity at a molecular level. Herein, we utilized caffeic acid (CaC), a natural product extracted from thistles, as a molecular probe for viscosity sensing. CaC contains phenol hydroxyl (electron-donor) and carboxyl (electron-acceptor) groups, with both moieties connected by conjugated single and double bonds, forming a typical twisted intramolecular charge transfer system. The fluorescent probe CaC, obtained from a natural product without any chemical processing, exhibits high sensitivity (x = 0.43) toward viscosity, with an obvious visualized turn-on signal. Moreover, it displays good photostability, selectivity, and wide universality in commercial liquids. Utilizing CaC, we have successfully visualized viscosity enhancement during the spoilage process, with a positive correlation between the degree of liquid spoilage and microenvironmental viscosity. Thus, this study will provide a convenient and efficient molecular probe for food safety inspection across the boundaries of traditional biological applications.

Abstract
The creation of new functional molecules is a central task in chemical synthesis. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new type of fluorophore, bisbenzo[f]isoindolylidenes, from easily accessible dipropargyl benzenesulfonamides. Wavelength-tunable fluorophores emitting strong fluorescence of green to red light were obtained in this reaction. Late-stage modifications and incorporation of bioactive molecules into these fluorophores give rise to potential applications in biological studies. Detailed computational and experimental studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanism, and suggest a reaction sequence involving Garratt-Braverman type cyclization, isomerization, fragmentation, dimerization and oxidation.

Abstract
Norepinephrine (NE) is a key neurotransmitter in the central and sympathetic nervous systems, whose content fluctuates dynamically and rapidly in various brain regions during different physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, it remains a great challenge to directly visualize and precisely quantify the transient NE dynamics in living systems with high accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and, in particular, high temporal resolution. Herein, we developed a series of small-molecular probes that can specifically detect NE through a sequential nucleophilic substitution-cyclization reaction, accompanied by a ratiometric near-infrared fluorescence response, within an impressively short time down to 60 ms, which is 3 orders of magnitude faster than that of present small-molecular probes. A unique water-promoted intermolecular proton transfer mechanism is disclosed, which dramatically boosted the recognition kinetics by ∼680 times. Benefiting from these excellent features, we quantitatively imaged the transient endogenous NE dynamics under external stimuli at the single living neuron level and further revealed the close correlations between NE fluctuations and Parkinson's disease pathology at the level of acute brain slices and live mouse brains in vivo.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are extremely important for various biological functions. Lysosome plays key roles in cellular metabolism and has been known as the stomach of cells. The abnormalities and malfunctioning of lysosomal function are associated with many diseases. Accordingly, the quantitative monitoring and real-time imaging of ROS in lysosomes are of great interest. In recent years, with the advancement of fluorescence imaging, fluorescent ROS probes have received considerable interest in the biomedical field. Thus far, considerable efforts have been undertaken to create synthetic fluorescent probes for sensing ROS in lysosomes; however, specific review articles on this topic are still lacking. This review provides a general introduction to fluorescence imaging technology, the sensing mechanisms of fluorescent probes, lysosomes, and design strategies for lysosome-targetable fluorescent ROS probes. In addition, the latest advancements in organic small-molecule fluorescent probes for ROS detection within lysosomes are discussed. Finally, the main challenges and future perspectives for developing effective lysosome-targetable fluorescent ROS probes for biomedical applications are presented.

Abstract
Mitophagy is the lysosome-dependent degradation of damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria, which is closely associated with H2O2-related redox imbalance and pathological processes. However, development of fast-responding and highly sensitive reversible fluorescent probes for monitoring of mitochondrial H2O2 dynamics is still lacking. Herein, we report a reversible fluorescent probe (M-HP) that enables real-time imaging of H2O2-related redox imbalance. In vitro studies demonstrated that M-HP had a rapid response and high sensitivity to the H2O2/GSH redox cycle, with a detection limit of 17 nM for H2O2. M-HP was applied to imaging of H2O2 fluctuation in living cells with excellent reversibility and mitochondrial targeting. M-HP reveals an increase in mitochondrial H2O2 under lipopolysaccharide stimulation and a decrease in H2O2 following the combined treatment with rapamycin. This suggests that the level of oxidative stress is significantly suppressed after the enhancement of mitophagy. The rationally designed M-HP offers a powerful tool for understanding redox imbalance during mitophagy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), a by-product of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and cellular metabolism, is vital for cellular survival, proliferation, damage, and senescence. In recent years, studies have shown that ROS levels and redox status in adipose tissue are strongly associated with obesity and metabolic diseases. Although it was previously considered that excessive production of ROS and impairment of antioxidant capability leads to oxidative stress and potentially contributes to increased adiposity, it has become increasingly evident that an adequate amount of ROS is vital for adipocyte differentiation and thermogenesis. In this review, by providing a systematic overview of the recent understanding of the key factors of redox systems, endogenous mechanisms for redox homeostasis, advanced techniques for dynamic redox monitoring, as well as exogenous stimuli for redox production in adipose tissues and obesity, the importance of redox biology in metabolic health is emphasized.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202302957.

Abstract
Precise quantification of trace components in whole blood via fluorescence is of great significance. However, the applicability of current fluorescent probes in whole blood is largely hindered by the strong blood autofluorescence. Here, we proposed a blood autofluorescence-suppressed sensing strategy to develop an activable fluorescent probe for quantification of trace analyte in whole blood. Based on inner filter effect, by screening fluorophores whose absorption overlapped with the emission of blood, a redshift BODIPY quencher with an absorption wavelength ranging from 600-700 nm was selected for its superior quenching efficiency and high brightness. Two 7-nitrobenzo[c] [1,2,5] oxadiazole ether groups were introduced onto the BODIPY skeleton for quenching its fluorescence and the response of H2 S, a gas signal molecule that can hardly be quantified because of its low concentration in whole blood. Such detection system shows a pretty low background signal and high signal-to-back ratio, the probe thus achieved the accurate quantification of endogenous H2 S in 20-fold dilution of whole blood samples, which is the first attempt of quantifying endogenous H2 S in whole blood. Moreover, this autofluorescence-suppressed sensing strategy could be expanded to other trace analytes detection in whole blood, which may accelerate the application of fluorescent probes in clinical blood test.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) is widely used as an adhesion promoter and dyeing aid in industrial production. Ingestion of a certain amount of formaldehyde may cause corrosive burns in the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Therefore, it is very necessary to use simple and effective detection methods to ensure human health and food safety. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe NFD based on naphthalimide for the detection of formaldehyde in food was designed and synthesized. The probe had a remarkable fluorescence response to formaldehyde at 554 nm. And it exhibited fascinating advantages of good selectivity, high sensitivity, and low detection limit. In addition, the solid sensor prepared by loading the probe on the filter paper was successfully realized the visual detection of liquid and gaseous formaldehyde. More importantly, the probe possessed excellent stability in the detection of formaldehyde in real food samples and animal serum samples.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is closely related to the physiopathology of numerous diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) are direct participants and important biomarkers of oxidative stress. A comprehensive understanding of their changes can help us evaluate disease pathogenesis and progression and facilitate early diagnosis and drug development. In recent years, fluorescent probes have been developed for real-time monitoring of ROS, RNS and RSS levels in vitro and in vivo. In this review, conventional design strategies of fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection are discussed from three aspects: fluorophores, linkers, and recognition groups. We introduce representative fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection in cells, physiological/pathological processes (e.g., Inflammation, Drug Induced Organ Injury and Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury etc.), and specific diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, depression, diabetes and cancer, etc.). We then highlight the achievements, current challenges, and prospects for fluorescent probes in the pathophysiology of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Cardoso MA, Gonçalves HMR, Davis F. Reactive oxygen species in biological media are they friend or foe? Major In vivo and In vitro sensing challenges. Talanta 2023; 260:124648. [PMID: 37167678 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
The role of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) on biological media has been shifting over the years, as the knowledge on the complex mechanism that lies in underneath their production and overall results has been growing. It has been known for some time that these species are associated with a number of health conditions. However, they also participate in the immunoactivation cascade process, and can have an active role in theranostics. Macrophages, for example, react to the presence of pathogens through ROS production, potentially allowing the development of new therapeutic strategies. However, their short lifetime and limited spatial distribution of ROS have been limiting factors to the development and understanding of this phenomenon. Even though, ROS have shown successful theranostic applications, e.g., photodynamic therapy, their wide applicability has been hampered by the lack of effective tools for monitoring these processes in real time. Thus the development of innovative sensing strategies for in vivo monitoring of the balance between ROS concentration and the resultant immune response is of the utmost relevance. Such knowledge could lead to major breakthroughs towards the development of more effective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. Within this review we will present the current understanding on the interaction mechanisms of ROS with biological systems and their overall effect. Additionally, the most promising sensing tools developed so far, for both in vivo and in vitro tracking will be presented along with their main limitations and advantages. This review focuses on the four main ROS that have been studied these are: singlet oxygen species, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion.

Abstract
Bisulfite (HSO3-) has the functions of bleaching, antiseptic, antioxidant, inhibiting bacterial growth, and controlling enzymatic reactions in food. However, long-term consumption of foods containing excessive amounts of bisulfite can be harmful to health. In addition, large doses of sulfur dioxide (SO2) can cause diarrhea, hypotension, allergic and asthmatic reactions in susceptible individuals. Therefore, it is urgent and essential to explore some rapid, reliable, and convenient tools to detect HSO3- in food and SO2 gas. Herein, we exploited a fluorescent probe, NPO, to detect HSO3- in 100 % aqueous solution. The probe has the advantages of easy synthesis, excellent water solubility, significant colorimetric change, good selectivity, high sensitivity, and fast response (within 1 min). Probe NPO was successfully applied for testing strips to visualize the behavior of HSO3- and SO2 gas. Moreover, the probe has been used to monitor the behavior of HSO3- in real food samples and animal serum samples.

Abstract
Herein, a mitochondrial targeted fluorescent nitrite peroxide probe CHP for dynamic monitoring of cellular lung injury was developed. For the practical delivery and selectivity, the structural features including pyridine head and borate recognition group were selected. CHP could respond to ONOO- with the 585 nm fluorescence signal. The detecting system indicated advantages such as wide linear range (0.0-30 μM), high sensitivity (LOD = 0.18 μM), high selectivity and steadiness under different environmental conditions including pH (3.0-10.0), time (48 h) and medium. In living A549 cells, the response of CHP towards ONOO- showed dose-dependent and time-dependent tendencies. The co-localization suggested that CHP could achieve mitochondrial targeting. Moreover, CHP could monitor the variation of endogenous ONOO- level and the cellular lung injury induced by LPS.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes have emerged as powerful tools for the detection of different analytes by virtue of structural tenability. However, the requirement of an excitation source largely hinders their applicability in point-of-care detection, as well as causing autofluorescence interference in complex samples. Herein, based on bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), we developed a reaction-based ratiometric bioluminescent platform, which allows the excitation-free detection of analytes. The platform has a modular design consisting of a NanoLuc-HaloTag fusion as an energy donor, to which a synthetic fluorescent probe is bioorthogonally labeled as recognition moiety and energy acceptor. Once activated by the target, the fluorescent probe can be excited by NanoLuc to generate a remarkable BRET signal, resulting in obvious color changes of luminescence, which can be easily recorded and quantitatively analyzed by a smartphone. As a proof of concept, a fluorescent probe for HOCl was synthesized to construct the bioluminescent system. Results demonstrated the system showed a constant blue/red emission ratio which is independent to the signal intensity, allowing the quantification of HOCl concentration with high sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) = 13 nM) and accuracy. Given the universality, this reaction-based bioluminescent platform holds great potential for point-of-care and quantitative detection of reactive species.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most commonly diagnosed cases of senile dementia in the world. It is an incurable process, most often leading to death. This disease is multifactorial, and one factor of this is inflammation. Numerous mediators secreted by inflammatory cells can cause neuronal degeneration. Neuritis may coexist with other mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease, contributing to disease progression, and may also directly underlie AD. Although much has been established about the inflammatory processes in the pathogenesis of AD, many aspects remain unexplained. The work is devoted in particular to the pathomechanism of inflammation and its role in diagnosis and treatment. An in-depth and detailed understanding of the pathomechanism of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease may help in the development of diagnostic methods for early diagnosis and may contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for the disease.

Abstract
Intracellular peroxynitrite anions (ONOO-) and microenvironments (such as viscosity and polarity) play an important role in maintaining redox homeostasis, regulating diffusion, transportation, and signal transduction in living cells. The abnormality of these factors is often closely related to various physiological/pathological processes. However, owing to the lack of suitable probes, the simultaneous visualization of ONOO-, viscosity, and polarity in ferroptosis and cancer models has not been achieved. To meet urgent needs, we presented a multifunctional near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe, named MQA-P, for simultaneously detecting ONOO-, viscosity, and polarity within mitochondria. The probe exhibited a remarkable turn-on response to ONOO- with the far-red emission of about 645 nm and was highly sensitive to viscosity/polarity in the NIR channel with λem > 704 nm. Facilitated by MQA-P, for the first time, we revealed that erastin-induced ferroptosis was accompanied by a significant upregulation of ONOO- and an increase of viscosity (or decrease of polarity) at the same time. Moreover, the concurrent use of ONOO-, viscosity, and polarity for the diagnosis of cancer has been successfully achieved not only at cell/tissue levels but also in tumor mice models. Compared with detecting only one factor, this simultaneous detection of multimarkers provides a more sensitive and reliable method/tool for tracking ferroptosis-related pathological processes and cancer diagnosis, holding great potential in preclinical research, medical diagnosis, and imaging-guided surgery.

Abstract
Manipulating intracellular levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is of great potential for cancer treatment. Inspired by the natural mechanism of a radical storm in inflammatory cells via activated and regulatable biocatalysis, the authors herein report a self-powered nanozyme that can enable RONS production in tumor cells via cascade reactions. The nanozymes are constructed via glucose oxidase (GOx)-templated inverse microemulsion polymerization from acrylamide, arginine-acrylamide, ferrocene-acrylate, and N,N'-bis(acryloyl)cystamine, followed by surface coating with hyaluronic acid. After targeted delivery into cancer cells, the nanozymes are dissociated by intracellular glutathione to release GOx, which decomposed glucose to generate gluconic acid and H2 O2 . Under such acidified conditions, H2 O2 efficiently oxidized pendant arginine residues to produce nitric oxide , transformed into a highly toxic hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion via ferrocene-mediated Fenton reaction and Haber-Weiss cycle, and simultaneously generated peroxynitrite anion via reaction between NO and ·O2 - , thus provoking the RONS radical storm to effectively eradicate A549 tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. This nature-inspired enzyme-chemical dynamic therapy may provide a promising modality for anti-cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as an important endogenous signaling molecule, plays a vital role in many physiological processes. The abnormal behaviors of hydrogen sulfide in organisms may lead to various pathophysiological processes. Monitoring the changes in hydrogen sulfide is helpful for pre-warning and treating these pathophysiological processes. Fluorescence imaging techniques can be used to observe changes in the concentration of analytes in organisms in real-time. Therefore, employing fluorescent probes imaging to investigate the behaviors of hydrogen sulfide in pathophysiological processes is vital. This paper reviews the design strategy and sensing mechanisms of hydrogen sulfide-based fluorescent probes, focusing on imaging applications in various pathophysiological processes, including neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, organ injury, and diabetes. This review not only demonstrates the specific value of hydrogen sulfide fluorescent probes in preclinical studies but also illuminates the potential application in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are a family of nitrogen-bearing natural organic molecules with at least one primary amine, which play an important role in living organisms. Elevated concentration of BAs may cause neuron disorder, Parkinson's disease and many other diseases. Therefore, it is essential to monitor BAs in living organisms. Herein, we reported a resorufin-based fluorescence probe for sensing of various BAs. Upon nucleophilic substitution reaction with BAs, the probe released resorufin, affording to strong fluorescence emission at 592 nm with rapid response (<8 min), good selectivity and a low detection limit (LOD = 0.47 μM). The probe has low cytotoxicity and good membrane permeability, and has been successfully used to visualize BAs in living cells and zebrafish with good performance.

Abstract
Uncovering the intrinsic interaction of different bioactive species, i.e., reactive oxygen species (ROS) and telomerase, is of great importance because they play interrelated and interdependent biological roles in living organisms. Nevertheless, exploration of the intracellular ROS/telomerase cross-talk by effective and noninvasive methods remains a great challenge, as it is difficult to simultaneously detect different types of biomolecules (i.e., active small molecules and proteins) in living cells. To address this issue, herein, we report, for the first time, a novel fluorescent nanoprobe for simultaneous determination and in situ imaging of telomerase activity and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in living cells. With the advantage of high sensitivity and good specificity, this newly fabricated nanoprobe was successfully applied to precisely visualize and monitor the changes in telomerase activity and H2O2 concentration in cancer cells. More significantly, by employing the nanoprobe as a one-step incubation tool, it is found that there is a cross-talk between H2O2 and telomerase activity in the drug-induced cancer cells' apoptosis process, which provides valuable information for gaining fundamental insights into the relationship between ROS and telomerase activity in cancer treatments. This work affords a promising method for revealing the relevant regulatory mechanisms and roles of ROS and telomerase activity in the occurrence, evolvement, and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Diagnosis of diabetic cataract (DC) in the early stage is of great significance for drug intervention and surgery circumvention for DC patients. However, the lack of reliable imaging tools greatly limits the diagnosis of early DC. In this context, a fluorescent probe BBPy for hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is presented based on the oxidation of phenothiazine. The probe displays apparent emission enhancement at 562 nm toward HOCl with high selectivity, superb sensitivity (detection limit: 12.6 nM), and rapid response (within seconds). Using the probe, the HOCl generation in diabetic human lens epithelial cells was monitored, as well as the HOCl down-regulation during antioxidant treatment. Therefore, it is proposed that HOCl can be a promising biomarker for DC and fluorescence imaging technique can be regarded as a candidate tool for DC diagnosis.

Abstract
Due to the low autofluorescence and deep-photo penetration, the second near-infrared region fluorescence imaging technology (NIR-II, 1000-2000 nm) has been widely utilized in basic scientific research and preclinical practice throughout the past decade. The most attractive candidates for clinical translation are organic NIR-II fluorophores with a small-molecule framework, owing to their low toxicity, high synthetic repeatability, and simplicity of chemical modification. In order to enhance the translation of small molecule applications in NIR-II bioimaging, NIR-II fluorescence imaging technology has evolved from its usage in cells to the diagnosis of diseases in large animals and even humans. Although several examples of NIR-II fluorescence imaging have been used in preclinical studies, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed before they can finally be used in clinical settings. In this paper, we reviewed the evolution of the chemical structures and photophysical properties of small-molecule fluorophores, with an emphasis on their biomedical applications ranging from small animals to humans. We also explored the potential of small-molecule fluorophores.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide, which is usually diagnosed in the advanced stage and is highly resistant to traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing new PC-specific imaging and treatment. In this study, an quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1)-activated near-infrared (NIR) agent, ICy-Q, was synthesized. ICy-Q is almost nonemissive, while its NIR emission at 705 nm is triggered by NQO-1-induced reduction in the PC cells. In addition, the reduction product, ICy-OH, is specifically enriched in mitochondria and lysosomes and acts as an effective chemotherapeutic agent to selectively induce pancreatic cancer cell death via the cell pyroptosis pathway. Further studies have shown that ICy-Q is suitable for ex vivo imaging of clinical PC sections and solid tumors from patients. We expect this study will be helpful in the future for the design of targeted theranostic agents for PC.

Abstract
Xanthene-based fluorescence probes with high signal-to-noise ratios are highly useful for bioimaging. However, current strategies for improving the signal-to-noise ratios of xanthene fluorescence probes based on the replacement of oxygen group elements and extension of conjugation always require complicated modifications or time-consuming synthesis, which unfortunately goes against the original intention owing to the alteration of the parent structure and outstanding properties. Herein, a facile strategy is presented for developing a unique class of high signal-to-noise ratio probes by modifying the 2' position of a rhodol scaffold with different substituents. Systematic studies have shown that the probe named Rhod-CN-B with a strong electron-withdrawing methylene malononitrile functional group (-CH═(CN)2) at the 2' position displayed a high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent photostability in aqueous solutions and could detect peroxynitrite (ONOO-) without interference from other biologically active species. In addition, the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of Rhod-CN-B displayed satisfactory properties in tracking the endogenous production of ONOO- in the apoptosis process of liver cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharides. Moreover, we utilized Rhod-CN-B to perform imaging of ONOO- in the course of the liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) process, revealing that high ONOO- levels were associated with aggravation of hepatocyte damage. All of the experimental data and results demonstrated that Rhod-CN-B could be a powerful tool for imaging ONOO- in more physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
In this study, we constructed and displayed a ratiometric fluorescent probe JQ-2 for detecting ONOO-. The probe JQ-2 showed a ratiometric signal for visualizing ONOO- with a rapid response and high selectivity over a panel of biological analytes. Moreover, the JQ-2 has near-infrared emission (657 nm), which provides an excellent basis for the practical application in biological systems. The probe JQ-2 possessed low cytotoxicity and excellent cell membrane permeability, which can specifically visualize the exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in vitro and vivo by emission in two channels. Meanwhile, JQ-2 can be used for diagnosing drug-induced liver injury by visualizing and monitoring the fluctuations of endogenous ONOO-. Therefore, JQ-2 provided a potential tool for precisely detecting the fluctuation of ONOO- in biological systems to understand physiological and pathological process.

Abstract
The development of non-invasive and effective viscosity inspection methods during the liquid deterioration process is urgently needed since viscosity is one of the most important physical parameters of liquids. Methods featuring rapid detection, high sensitivity, cheap equipment, and fast result output are greatly desired. In this study, a viscosity-sensitive molecular rotor (BTPEQ) with a large Stokes shift (187 nm), and long emission wavelength (648 nm) has been developed. The rotor is comprised of a bithiophene donor and quinolinium acceptor, and displays a typical twisted intramolecular-charge transfer (TICT) feature, with good photostability, selectivity, and universality in various commercial liquids. With the aid of BTPEQ, the thickening effects of liquid thickeners can be determined. More importantly, BTPEQ was explored to visualize the viscosity variations in liquids at different metamorphic stages, and it was found that the viscosity level in microenvironments is highly dependent on the liquid food metamorphic period. It is worth noting that this approach can facilitate the continued perfection of fluorescent analytical methods for food quality and safety inspection.

Abstract
Numerous polymeric agents have been widely applied in biology and medicine by virtue of the facile chemical modification, feasible nano-engineering approaches and fine-tuned pharmacokinetics. To endow polymeric imaging agents with ability to monitor and measure subtle molecular or cellular alterations at diseased sites, activatable polymeric probes that can elicit signal changes in response to biomolecular interactions or the analytes of interest have to be developed. Herein, this review aims to provide a systemic interpretation and summarization of the design methodology and imaging utility of recently emerged activatable polymeric probes. An introduction of activatable probes allowing for precise imaging and classification of polymeric imaging agents is reported first. Then, we give a detailed discussion of the contemporary design approaches toward activatable polymeric probes in diverse imaging modes for the detection of various stimuli and their imaging applications. Finally, current challenges and future advances are discussed and highlighted.

Abstract
Most reported probes that respond to Cysteine (Cys) and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can only identify one analyte, or they were interfered with homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) when recognizing Cys and H2S. In addition, nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) ether, as one of thiols recognition sites, inevitably encounters the situation that Cys, GSH and H2S cannot be distinguished on the same channel at the cellular level. In this work, by introducing NBD ether and NBD amine, we constructed a bifunctional fluorescent probe NJB for dual-site response to Cys and H2S via PET & ICT processes. NJB has wonderful selectivity for identifying Cys and HS-, with limits of detection as low as 58.4 nM and 81.1 nM, respectively. Interestingly, NJB has been successfully applied to detect Cys and HS- in MCF-7 cells. Therefore, the probe that serves as a great tool for inquiring the physiological and pathological functions of Cys and H2S in living cells is promising.

Abstract
Imaging-guided real-time monitoring of the treatment process of inflammatory diseases is important for the timely adjustment of treatment planning to lower unnecessary side effects and improve treatment outcomes. However, it is difficult to reflect the dynamic changes of inflammation in vivo with enough tissue penetration depth. Here a novel nanotheranostic agent (denominated TMSN@PM) with platelet membrane (PM)-coated, tempol-grafted, manganese-doped, mesoporous silica nanoparticles is developed. The PM endows the TMSN@PM with the ability to target inflammation sites, which are verified by fluorescence imaging with Cyanine5 carboxylic acid (Cy5)-labeled TMSN@PM. Under the inflammatory environment (mild acidity and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS)), TMSN@PM can scavenge the excess ROS, thereby alleviating inflammation, degrade, and release manganese ions for enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The relaxation changes (ΔR1 ) are almost linearly correlated with the concentration of H2 O2 , which can reflect the degree of inflammation. This method offers a non-invasive imaging-based strategy for early prediction of the therapeutic outcomes in inflammatory therapy, which may contribute to precision medicine in terms of prognostic stratification and therapeutic planning in future.

Abstract
Bisulfite (HSO3-) has been widely used as an important food additive in daily life. Furthermore, a normal amount of HSO3- plays a significant role in biological systems. However, excessive intake of HSO3- will lead to a variety of diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an efficient fluorescent probe that can be used for detection of HSO3- in biological systems and food samples. In this work, a near-infrared (NIR) emitted fluorescent probe (SZY) based on hemicyanine dye was successfully synthesized and applied to detect HSO3- in several food samples and live animals. The proposed nucleophilic addition sensing mechanism of SZY towards HSO3- has been confirmed by 1H NMR titration, high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical computation. The HSO3--induced nucleophilic reaction with α,β-unsaturated C=C binding of SZY results in the dramatic decline of the UV-vis absorption and remarkable quenching of the fluorescence emission. SZY features the advantages of near infrared emission (centered at 720 nm), high water solubility (in 98% aqueous solution), fast response time (50 s), large Stokes shift (244 nm) and low cytotoxicity. The probe SZY was successfully applied to image of HSO3- in live nude mouse and adult zebrafish. Semi-quantitatively analyzing the HSO3- level by "naked eye" in several food samples including canned fruit, white wine, white sugar and jasmine tea drinks has been realized by the colorimetric method.
