Abstract
The reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in lysosomes play a major role during the regulation of lysosomal microenvironment. Nitroxyl (HNO) belongs to active nitrogen species (RNS) and is becoming a potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker. However, the complex synthesis routes of HNO in biosystem always hinder the exact determination of HNO in living cells. Here, a rhodamine-based fluorescent probe used to determine nitroxyl (HNO) in lysosomes was constructed and synthesized. 2-(Diphenylphosphino)benzoate was utilized as the sensing unit for HNO and morpholine was chose as the targeting group for lysosome. Before the addition of HNO, the probe displayed a spirolactone structure and almost no fluorescence was found. After the addition of HNO, the probe existed as a conjugated xanthene form and an intense green fluorescence was observed. The fluorescent probe possessed fast response (3 min) and high selectivity for HNO. Furthermore, fluorescence intensity of the probe linearly related with the HNO concentration in the range of 6.0 × 10-8 to 6.0 × 10-5 mol L-1. The detection limit was found to be 1.87 × 10-8 mol L-1 for HNO. Moreover, the probe could selectively targeted lysosome with excellent biocompatibility and had been effectually utilized to recognize exogenous HNO in A549 cells.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role as a biological signaling molecule, presenting challenges in its specific detection and differentiation from other reactive nitrogen and oxygen species within living organisms. Herein, a 18F-labeled (fluorine-18, t1/2 = 109.7 min) small-molecule tracer dimethyl 4-(4-(4-[18F]fluorobutoxy)benzyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate ([18F]BDHP) is developed based on the dihydropyridine scaffold for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of NO in vivo. [18F]BDHP exhibits a highly sensitive and efficient C-C cleavage reaction specifically triggered by NO under physiological conditions, leading to the production of a 18F-labeled radical that is readily retained within the cells. High uptakes of [18F]BDHP are found within and around NO-generating cells, such as macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide or benzo(a)pyrene. MicroPET/CT imaging of arthritic animal model mice reveals distinct tracer accumulation in the arthritic legs, showcasing a higher distribution of NO compared with the control legs. In summary, a specific radical-generating dihydropyridine tracer with a unique radical retention strategy has been established for the marking of NO in real-time in vivo.

Nitric Oxide-Activated Bioorthogonal Codelivery Nanoassembly for In Situ Synthesis of Photothermal Agent for Precise and Safe Anticancer Treatment.

Abstract
The development of bioorthogonal activation in drug release represents a promising avenue for precise and safe anticancer treatment. However, two significant limitations currently hinder their clinical application: i) the necessity for separate administration of the drug precursor and its corresponding activator, leading to poor drug accumulation and potential side effects; ii) the reliance on exogenous metal or organic activators for triggering bioorthogonal activation, which often exhibit low efficiency and systemic toxicity when extending to living animals. To overcome these limitations, a nitric oxide (NO)-mediated bioorthogonal codelivery nanoassembly, termed TTB-NH2@PArg, which comprises a precursor molecular (TTB-NH2) and amphipathic polyarginine (PArg) is developed. In TTB-NH2@PArg, PArg serves as both self-assembled nanocarrier for TTB-NH2 and a NO generator. In tumor microenvironment (TME), the TME-specific generation of NO acts as a gas activator, triggering in situ bioorthogonal bond formation that transforms TTB-NH2 into TTB-AZO. This tumor-specific generation of TTB-AZO not only serves as a potential photothermal agent for effective tumor inhibition but also induces fluorescence change that enables real-time monitoring of bioorthogonal activation. This study presents a drug codelivery approach that enables precise and safe control of bioorthogonal activation for anticancer treatment, improving cancer therapy efficacy while minimizing side effects.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diatomic inorganic free radical ubiquitous in mammalian tissues and cells that plays a multifaceted role in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. The strict dependence of the biological effects of NO on its concentration makes its real-time monitoring crucial. In view of the reactivity of NO with multiple bio-targets, the development of NO sensors that associate a fast response rate with selectivity and sensitivity is very challenging. Herein we report a fluorescent NO probe based on a BODIPY fluorogenic unit covalently linked to a trimethoxy aniline derivative through a flexible spacer. NO leads to effective nitrosation of the highly electron-rich amino active site of the probe through the secondary oxide N2O3, resulting in an increase of BODIPY fluorescence quantum yield from Φf = 0.06 to Φf = 0.55, accompanied by significant changes in the relative amplitude of the fluorescence lifetimes. In situ generation of NO, achieved by a tailored light-activatable NO releaser, allows the real-time detection of NO as a function of its concentration and permits demonstrating that the probe exhibits a very fast response time, being ≤0.1 s. This remarkable data combines with the high sensitivity of the probe to NO (LOD = 35 nM), responsiveness also to ONOO-, the other important secondary oxide of NO, independence from the fluorescence response within a wide pH range, good selectivity towards different analytes and small interference by typical physiological concentrations of glutathione. Validation of this probe in melanoma cell lines is also reported.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in multiple physiological processes of the body involved in regulation, such as cardiovascular relaxation, neural homeostasis, and immune regulation, etc. The real-time monitoring of NO is of great significance in the investigation of related disease mechanisms and the evaluation of pharmacodynamics. Fluorescent probes are considered as a highly promising approach for pharmaceutical analysis and bioimaging due to their non-invasive character, real-time detection, and high sensitivity. However, there are still some challenges in the determination of biological nitric oxide with fluorescent probes, such as low anti-interference ability, poor function modifiability, and low organ specificity. Therefore, it would be beneficial to develop a new generation of fluorescent probes for real-time bioimaging of NO in vivo after this systematic summary.

Development of an innovative turn-on fluorescent probe for targeted in-vivo detection of nitric oxide in rat brain extracts as a biomarker for migraine disease. Talanta 2024; 272:125763.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that has been proposed to be a key signaling molecule in migraine. Migraine is a neurological disorder that is linked to irregular NO levels, which necessitates precise NO quantification for effective diagnosis and treatment. This work introduces a novel fluorescent probe, 2,3-diaminonaphthelene-1,4-dione (DAND), which was designed and synthesized to selectively detect NO in-vitro and in-vivo as a migraine biomarker. DAND boasts high aqueous solubility, biocompatibility, and facile synthesis, which enable highly selective and sensitive detection of NO under physiological conditions. NO reacts with diamine moieties (recognition sites) of DAND, results in the formation of a highly fluorescent product (DAND-NO) known as 1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione at λem 450 nm. The fluorescence turn-on sensing mechanism operates through an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. To maximize fluorescence signal intensity, parameters including DAND concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time and pH were systematically optimized for sensitive and precise NO determination. The enhanced detection capability (LOD = 0.08 μmol L-1) and high selectivity of the probe make it a promising tool for NO detection in brain tissue homogenates. This demonstrates the potential diagnostic value of the probe for individuals suffering from migraine. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the potential role of zolmitriptan (ZOLM), an antimigraine medication, in modulating NO levels in the brain of rats with nitroglycerin-induced migraine, emphasizing its significant impact on reducing NO levels. The obtained results could have significant implications for understanding how ZOLM affects NO levels and may aid in the development of more targeted and effective migraine treatment strategies.

Abstract
Simultaneous imaging of nitric oxide (NO) and its proximal proteins should facilitate the deconvolution of NO-protein interactions. While immunostaining is a primary assay to localize proteins in non-genetically manipulated samples, NO imaging probes with immunostaining-compatible signals remain unexplored. Herein, probe NOP-1 was developed with an NO-triggered proximal protein labeling capacity and fluorogenic signals. The trick is to fuse the native chemical ligation of acyl benzotriazole with the protein-conjugation-induced fluorogenic response of Si-rhodamine fluorophore. NOP-1 predominantly existed in the non-fluorescent spirocyclic form. Yet, its acyl o-phenylenediamine moiety was readily activated by NO into acyl benzotriazole to conjugate proximal proteins, providing a fluorogenic response and translating the transient cellular NO signal into a permanent stain compatible with immunostaining. NOP-1 was utilized to investigate NO signaling in hypoglycemia-induced neurological injury, providing direct evidence of NO-induced apoptosis during hypoglycemia. Mechanistically, multiplex imaging revealed the overlap of cellular NOP-1 fluorescence with immunofluorescence for α-tubulin and NO2-Tyr. Importantly, α-tubulin was resolved from NOP-1 labeled proteins. These results suggest that NO played a role in hypoglycemia-induced apoptosis, at least in part, through nitrating α-tubulin. This study fills a crucial gap in current imaging probes, providing a valuable tool for unraveling the complexities of NO signaling in biological processes.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking is positively and robustly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), including hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmias, stroke, thromboembolism, myocardial infarctions, and heart failure. However, after more than a decade of ENDS presence in the U.S. marketplace, uncertainty persists regarding the long-term health consequences of ENDS use for CVD. New approach methods (NAMs) in the field of toxicology are being developed to enhance rapid prediction of human health hazards. Recent technical advances can now consider impact of biological factors such as sex and race/ethnicity, permitting application of NAMs findings to health equity and environmental justice issues. This has been the case for hazard assessments of drugs and environmental chemicals in areas such as cardiovascular, respiratory, and developmental toxicity. Despite these advances, a shortage of widely accepted methodologies to predict the impact of ENDS use on human health slows the application of regulatory oversight and the protection of public health. Minimizing the time between the emergence of risk (e.g., ENDS use) and the administration of well-founded regulatory policy requires thoughtful consideration of the currently available sources of data, their applicability to the prediction of health outcomes, and whether these available data streams are enough to support an actionable decision. This challenge forms the basis of this white paper on how best to reveal potential toxicities of ENDS use in the human cardiovascular system-a primary target of conventional tobacco smoking. We identify current approaches used to evaluate the impacts of tobacco on cardiovascular health, in particular emerging techniques that replace, reduce, and refine slower and more costly animal models with NAMs platforms that can be applied to tobacco regulatory science. The limitations of these emerging platforms are addressed, and systems biology approaches to close the knowledge gap between traditional models and NAMs are proposed. It is hoped that these suggestions and their adoption within the greater scientific community will result in fresh data streams that will support and enhance the scientific evaluation and subsequent decision-making of tobacco regulatory agencies worldwide.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays critical roles in both physiology and pathology, serving as a significant signaling molecule. Recent investigations have uncovered the pivotal role of lysosome as a critical organelle where intracellular NO exists and takes function. In this study, we developed a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe called XL-NO and modified it with a morpholine unit, which followed the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. The probe could detect lysosomal nitric oxide with high selectivity and sensitivity. The probe XL-NO contained a secondary amine moiety that could readily react with NO in lysosomes, leading to the formation of the N-nitrosation product. The N-nitroso structure enhanced the capability in push-pull electron, which obviously led to the change of fluorescence from 621 nm to 521 nm. In addition, XL-NO was discovered to have some evident advantages, such as significant ratiometric signal (I521/I621) change, strong anti-interference ability, good biocompatibility, and a low detection limit (LOD = 44.3 nM), which were crucial for the detection of lysosomal NO. To evaluate the practical application of XL-NO, NO imaging experiments were performed in both living cells and zebrafish. The results from these experiments confirmed the feasibility and reliability of XL-NO for exogenous/endogenous NO imaging and lysosome targeting.

Abstract
With the increase in haze pollution in Chinese cities, answering the question of whether using a high-speed rail (HSR) as a green and efficient transportation system can alleviate haze pollution in China has become a research hotspot. This study empirically tests the impact of HSR network construction on haze pollution and its spatial spillover effects. (1) The construction of a HSR would have a mitigation effect on haze pollution in node cities and surrounding cities, and the more developed the HSR is, the more significant that this effect would be. (2) Haze pollution persists for a long time, the haze pollution from the previous year may have a positive promoting effect on the haze pollution in the following year. (3) The use of a HSR reduces haze pollution by replacing traditional road transportation and promoting industrial structure upgrading and technological innovation. (4) The inhibitory effect of HSR use on haze pollution varies due to regional differences and variation in city size.

Abstract
Three gaseous molecules are widely accepted as important gasotransmitters in mammalian cells, namely NO, CO and H2S. Due to the pharmacological effects observed in preclinical studies, these three gasotransmitters represent promising drug candidates for clinical translation. Fluorescent probes of the gasotransmitters are also in high demand; however, the mechanisms of actions or the roles played by gasotransmitters under both physiological and pathological conditions remain to be answered. In order to bring these challenges to the attention of both chemists and biologists working in this field, we herein summarize the chemical strategies used for the design of both probes and prodrugs of these three gasotransmitters.

Abstract
While bioorthogonal reactions are routinely employed in living cells and organisms, their application within individual organelles remains limited. In this review, we highlight diverse examples of bioorthogonal reactions used to investigate the roles of biomolecules and biological processes as well as advanced imaging techniques within cellular organelles. These innovations hold great promise for therapeutic interventions in personalized medicine and precision therapies. We also address existing challenges related to the selectivity and trafficking of subcellular dynamics. Organelle-targeted bioorthogonal reactions have the potential to significantly advance our understanding of cellular organization and function, provide new pathways for basic research and clinical applications, and shape the direction of cell biology and medical research.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in regulating plant growth, enhances nutrient uptake, and activates disease and stress tolerance mechanisms in most plants. NO is marked as a potential tool for improving the yield and quality of horticultural crop species. Research on NO in plant species can provide an abundance of valuable information regarding this. Hence, we have prepared a simple chemosensor (NPO) for the detection of endogenous NO in chickpea saplings. NPO selectively interacts with NO as determined through a chemodosimetric method to clearly show both the colorimetric and fluorometric changes. After the interaction with NO, the colorless NPO turns yellow as observed by the naked eye and shows bright cyan-blue fluorescence under a UV lamp. The 1 : 1 stoichiometric ratio between NPO and NO is determined from Job's plot resulting in a stable diazeniumdiolate product. The interaction mechanism is well established by absorption, fluorescence titration, NMR titration, HRMS, and DFT calculations. This method has successfully been employed in the plant's root and stem systems to label NO. Confocal microscopy images might help us to understand the endogenous NO generation and the mechanism that happens inside plant tissues.

Abstract
The pathogenesis understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial to prevent the rampant spread of COVID-19 and its contribution to deterioration in health, even death. Nitric oxide (NO), a crucial molecule involved in signal transduction and cytotoxicity, is a possible key regulator in the occurrence and development of COVID-19. However, understanding the pathogenesis of NO in SARS-CoV-2 infection is still in its infancy due to the lack of suitable in situ monitoring probes of NO fluctuation in the complex SARS-CoV-2 infection environment in deep lung tissues. Herein, we developed an activatable near-infrared-II fluorescent molecular nanoprobe (OSNP) that uncages high-resolution and deep-tissue-penetrating near-infrared-II fluorescence signal in specific response to NO for in situ and noninvasive visualization of NO fluctuation in a SARS-CoV-2 infection mouse model in lung tissues. In vivo visualization revealed that the NO level is a positive relationship with SARS-CoV-2 infection progress. With the assistance of immuno-histochemical analyses, we uncovered the NO-involved pathological mechanism, that being the improved NO level is associated with an increase in inducible NO synthase rather than endothelial NO synthase. Our study not only provides the example of a near-infrared-II fluorescent imaging of NO in SARS-CoV-2 infection but also provides opportunities to uncover tunderlying pathomechanism of NO for SARS-Cov-2 infections.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous messenger molecule playing a key role in various physiological and pathological processes. However, producing a selective turn-on fluorescence response to NO is a challenging task due to (a) the very short half-life of NO (typically in the range of 0.1-10 s) in the biological milieu and (b) false positive responses to reactive carbonyl species (RCS) (e.g., dehydroascorbic acid and methylglyoxal etc.) and some other reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), especially with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) based fluorosensors. To avoid these limitations, NO sensors should be designed in such a way that they react spontaneously with NO to give turn-on response within the time frame of t1/2 (typically in the range of 0.1-10 s) of NO and λem in the visible wavelength along with good cell permeability to achieve biocompatibility. With these views in mind, a N-nitrosation based fluorescent sensor, NDAQ, has been developed that is highly selective to NO with ∼27-fold fluorescence enhancement at λem = 542 nm with high sensitivity (LOD = 7 ± 0.4 nM) and shorter response time, eliminating the interference of other reactive species (RCS/ROS/RNS). Furthermore, all the photophysical studies with NDAQ have been performed in 98% aqueous medium at physiological pH, indicating its good stability under physiological conditions. The kinetic assay illustrates the second-order dependency with respect to NO concentration and first-order dependency with respect to NDAQ concentration. The biological studies reveal the successful application of the probe to track both endogenous and exogenous NO in living organisms.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signal molecule in biological systems and is correlated with many physiological processes and pathological diseases. To date, numerous fluorescent probes based on o-diamino aromatics have been designed and synthesized for NO detection utilizing the principle of photoinduced electron transfer (PET). However, the underlying PET mechanism has rarely been validated, and a systematic computational study on the photophysical properties is urgently desired. In this study, we used a theoretical protocol to comparatively investigate the sensing mechanism, photophysical properties and protonation effects of two emblematic probes NINO and PYSNO in aqueous solution, which combines a polarizable continuum model (PCM), time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and thermal vibration correlation function formalism (TVCF). Our findings reveal that the weak emission of NINO is due to activated PET with negative driving energy and blocked fluorescence with significant charge separation. In contrast, the poor luminescence of PYSNO is caused by the facilitated non-radiative dissipation, even though the fluorescence emission remains unobstructed. Although NINO has been successfully used in two-photon microscopy for detecting NO, we suggest that PYSNO possesses a superior two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section in the near-infrared region. The protonation effects suggest that both probes can function effectively in practical acidic lysosomal environments. Our study opens a new avenue for understanding the mechanism and predicting the properties of two-photon fluorescent probes for NO detection, thus aiding the rational design of efficient fluorescent sensors.

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.

Abstract
Precise and rapid detection of immune responses is critical for timely therapeutic regimen adjustment. Immunomodulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) from a protumorigenic phenotype (M2) to an antitumorigenic phenotype (M1) is crucial in macrophage-targeted immunotherapy. Herein, we developed a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorescence probe BDP3 to detect the immune responses after immunotherapy by monitoring the nitric oxide (NO) released by M1 TAMs. With an aromatic primary monoamine structure and a p-methoxyanilin electron donor in the meso-position, BDP3 not only specifically activates stable and sensitive fluorescence by NO via a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process but also achieves a long emission wavelength for efficient in vitro and in vivo imaging. Such NO-induced fluorescence signals of BDP3 are validated to correlate well with the phenotypes of TAMs detected in macrophage cell lines and tumor tissues. The distinct sensing effects toward two types of clinically used immunotherapeutic drugs further confirm the ability of BDP3 for specific monitoring of the M1/M2 switch in response to the macrophage-targeted immunotherapy. By virtue of good biocompatibility and appropriate tumor retention time, BDP3 could be a potential fluorescent probe for noninvasive evaluation of the immunotherapeutic efficacy of macrophage-targeted immunotherapy in living animals.

Abstract
Alternations in the brain nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis are associated with a variety of neurodegeneration diseases; therefore, high-resolution imaging of NO in the brain is essential for understanding pathophysiological processes. However, currently available NO probes are unsuitable for this purpose due to their poor ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or to image in deep tissues with spatial resolution. Herein, we developed a photoacoustic (PA) probe with BBB crossing ability to overcome this obstacle. The probe shows a highly selective ratiometric response toward NO, which enables the probe to image NO with micron resolution in the whole brain of living mice. Using three-dimensional PA imaging, we demonstrated that the probe could be used to visualize the detailed NO distribution in varying depth cross-sections (0-8 mm) of the living Parkinson's disease (PD) mouse brain. We also investigated the therapeutic properties of natural polyphenols in the PD mouse brain using the probe as an imaging agent and suggested the potential of the probe for screening therapeutic agents. This study provides a promising imaging agent for imaging of NO in the mouse brain with high resolution. We anticipate that these findings may open up new possibilities for understanding the biological functions of NO in the brain and the development of new imaging agents for the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the regulation of the immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems. Consequently, being able to monitor and quantify intracellular NO levels would provide a greater understanding of the implications of this molecule in the different biological processes, including, for example, in cancer. Here, we report a broadly applicable two-photon excitable fluorescent nanoprobe able to detect and potentially quantify NO levels in an extensive range of cellular environments. The nanoprobe consists of a thiolated photoinduced electron transfer-based two=photon fluorescent probe attached onto the surface of 2.4 ± 0.7 nm gold nanoparticles (DANPY-NO@AuNPs). The nanoprobe, which can be synthesised in a reproducible manner and exhibits great stability when stored at room temperature, is able to selectively detect NO in solution, with a dynamic range up to 150 μM, and at pH values of biological relevance. DANPY-NO@AuNPs were able to selectively detect endogenous NO in RAW264.7γ NO- macrophages and THP-1 human leukemic cells; and endogenous and exogenous NO in endothelial cells. The nanoprobe accumulated in the acidic organelles of the tested cell lines showing negligible toxicity. Importantly, DANPY-NO@AuNPs showed potential to quantify intracellular NO concentrations in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The biological evaluation of the nanoprobe was undertaken using confocal laser scanning (images and intracellular emission spectra) and multiphoton microscopies, and flow cytometry. Based on their excellent sensitivity and stability, and outstanding versatility, DANPY-NO@AuNPs can be applied for the spatiotemporal monitoring of in vitro and in vivo NO levels.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters, as important chemical small molecules, perform the function of neural signal transmission from cell to cell. Excess concentrations of neurotransmitters are often closely associated with brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's disease. On the other hand, the release of neurotransmitters under the induced stimulation indicates the occurrence of reward-related behaviors, including food and drug addiction. Therefore, to understand the physiological and pathological functions of neurotransmitters, especially in complex environments of the living brain, it is urgent to develop effective tools to monitor their dynamics with high sensitivity and specificity. Over the past 30 years, significant advances in electrochemical sensors and optical probes have brought new possibilities for studying neurons and neural circuits by monitoring the changes in neurotransmitters. This Review focuses on the progress in the construction of sensors for in vivo analysis of neurotransmitters in the brain and summarizes current attempts to address key issues in the development of sensors with high selectivity, sensitivity, and stability. Combined with the latest advances in technologies and methods, several strategies for sensor construction are provided for recording chemical signal changes in the complex environment of the brain.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can compromise the physical and biological functionalities of humans and pose a huge economical and psychological burden on infected patients. Nitric oxide (NO) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, whose mechanism of action is not affected by bacterial resistance. S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), an endogenous donor and carrier of NO, has gained increasing attention because of its potent antibacterial activity and efficient biocompatibility. Significant breakthroughs have been made in the application of GSNO in biomaterials. This review is based on the existing evidence that comprehensively summarizes the progress of antimicrobial GSNO applications focusing on their anti-infective performance, underlying antibacterial mechanisms, and application in anti-infective biomaterials. We provide an accurate overview of the roles and applications of GSNO in antibacterial biomaterials and shed new light on the avenues for future studies.

Abstract
After numerous efforts to elucidate the biological role of nitric oxide (NO), NO treatments have become a hotspot at the forefront of medicine. NO-releasing substances are constantly needed, while the direct use of NO gas is unattainable in bio-systems. An ideal NO donor should possess controllable and visible NO-release capability. The reported NO donating nanoparticles, prepared via encapsulating a hydrophobic NO-releasing compound into DSPE-PEG2000, meet the criteria mentioned previously. The localization and flux of NO released from these nanoparticles could be manipulated by UV or blue light. Meanwhile, NOD-NPs emit a dose-dependent fluorescence intensity to calibrate the generation of NO. While the good biocompatibility of NOD-NPs has been validated, the NO from our nanoparticles demonstrates efficient anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm effects toward Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Therefore, the NOD-NPs developed in this work have potential application in evaluating the regulation of microbes by NO.

Abstract
S-Nitrosylation of cysteine residues is an important molecular mechanism for dynamic, post-translational regulation of several proteins, providing a ubiquitous redox regulation. Cys residues are present in several fluorescent proteins (FP), including members of the family of Aequorea victoria Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-derived FPs, where two highly conserved cysteine residues contribute to a favorable environment for the autocatalytic chromophore formation reaction. The effect of nitric oxide on the fluorescence properties of FPs has not been investigated thus far, despite the tremendous role FPs have played for 25 years as tools in cell biology. We have examined the response to nitric oxide of fluorescence emission by the blue-emitting fluorescent protein mTagBFP2. To our surprise, upon exposure to micromolar concentrations of nitric oxide, we observed a roughly 30% reduction in fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime. Recovery of fluorescence emission is observed after treatment with Na-dithionite. Experiments on related fluorescent proteins from different families show similar nitric oxide sensitivity of their fluorescence. We correlate the effect with S-nitrosylation of Cys residues. Mutation of Cys residues in mTagBFP2 removes its nitric oxide sensitivity. Similarly, fluorescent proteins devoid of Cys residues are insensitive to nitric oxide. We finally show that mTagBFP2 can sense exogenously generated nitric oxide when expressed in a living mammalian cell. We propose mTagBFP2 as the starting point for a new class of genetically encoded nitric oxide sensors based on fluorescence lifetime imaging.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in many biological processes affecting the cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems. Intracellular NO can be monitored using fluorescent probes in combination with fluorescence imaging techniques. Most of the currently available NO fluorescent molecular probes are excited via one-photon excitation using UV or Vis light, which results in poor penetration and high photodamage to living tissues. Here, we report a two-photon fluorescent molecular probe, DANPY-NO, able to detect NO in live cells. The probe consists of an o-phenylenediamine linked to a naphthalimide core; and operates via photoinduced electron transfer. DANPY-NO exhibits good sensitivity (LOD of 77.8 nM) and high selectivity towards NO, and is stable over a broad range of pHs. The probe targeted acidic organelles within macrophages and endothelial cells, and demonstrated enhanced photostability over a commercially available NO probe. DANPY-NO was used to selectively detect endogenous NO in RAW264.7ϒ NO- macrophages, THP-1 human leukemic cells, primary mouse (bone marrow-derived) macrophages and endothelial cells. The probe was also able to detect exogenous NO in endothelial cells and distinguish between increasing concentrations of NO. The NO detection was evidenced using confocal laser scanning and two-photon microscopies, and flow cytometry. Further evidence was obtained by recording the changes in the intracellular fluorescence emission spectrum of the probe. Importantly, the probe displayed negligible toxicity to the analysed biological samples. The excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability and versatility of DANPY-NO confirm its potential for in vitro and in vivo imaging of NO.

Abstract
Pathogenic infections may lead to disruption of homeostasis, thus becoming a serious threat to the human health. Understanding the interactions between bacteria and macrophages is critical for therapeutic development against sepsis or inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we report a technique using droplet biosensors for the detection of nitric oxide (NO) secreted by a single macrophage under inflammatory stimuli. We demonstrated that the limit of detection can be promoted more than two orders of magnitude by our approach, in comparison to the conventional microplate format. The experiments of co-encapsulating single macrophages and different numbers of Escherichia coli (E. coli) enabled fluorescence monitoring of NO secretion by single macrophages over the incubation, and investigation of their interactions inside the isolated droplet for their separate fates. Our approach provides a unique platform to study the bacteria-macrophage interactions at the single cell level.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation. NO's contributions to cancer are of particular interest due to its context-dependent bioactivities. For example, immune cells initially produce cytotoxic quantities of NO in response to the nascent tumor. However, it is believed that this fades over time and reaches a concentration that supports the tumor microenvironment (TME). These complex dynamics are further complicated by other factors, such as diet and oxygenation, making it challenging to establish a complete picture of NO's impact on tumor progression. Although many activity-based sensing (ABS) probes for NO have been developed, only a small fraction have been employed in vivo, and fewer yet are practical in cancer models where the NO concentration is <200 nM. To overcome this outstanding challenge, we have developed BL660-NO, the first ABS probe for NIR bioluminescence imaging of NO in cancer. Owing to the low intrinsic background, high sensitivity, and deep tissue imaging capabilities of our design, BL660-NO was successfully employed to visualize endogenous NO in cellular systems, a human liver metastasis model, and a murine breast cancer model. Importantly, its exceptional performance facilitated two dietary studies which examine the impact of fat intake on NO and the TME. BL660-NO provides the first direct molecular evidence that intratumoral NO becomes elevated in mice fed a high-fat diet, which became obese with larger tumors, compared to control animals on a low-fat diet. These results indicate that an inflammatory diet can increase NO production via recruitment of macrophages and overexpression of inducible nitric oxide synthase which in turn can drive tumor progression.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing platforms have been demonstrated as promising approaches for the reversal of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells due to the suppression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). However, the non-specific systemic release of NO and difficulty in estimating the precise NO amount in target sites hindered their translational applications. Traditional bioimaging techniques which are responsive to NO molecules cannot distinguish between exogenous and endogenous NO. Herein we introduce S-nitrosothiol-functionalized tetraphenylethene (TPE-RSNO) to specifically monitor exogenous NO release and synergistically reverse MDR. TPE-RSNO can specifically respond to NO release and visualize NO delivery with fluorescence in living cells. Moreover, the elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells triggered rapid NO release to reduce P-gp and thus synergistically increase the therapeutic effect of doxorubicin (DOX).

Abstract
Insulin is stored within the pancreas in an inactive Zn2+ -bound hexameric form prior to release. Similarly, clinical insulins contain Zn2+ and form multimeric complexes. Upon release from the pancreas or upon injection, insulin only becomes active once Zn2+ disengages from the complex. In plasma and other extracellular fluids, the majority of Zn2+ is bound to human serum albumin (HSA), which plays a vital role in controlling insulin pharmacodynamics by enabling removal of Zn2+ . The Zn2+ -binding properties of HSA are attenuated by non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) also transported by HSA. Elevated NEFA concentrations are associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Here we present the hypothesis that higher NEFA levels in obese and/or diabetic individuals may contribute to insulin resistance and affect therapeutic insulin dose-response profiles, through modulation of HSA/Zn2+ dynamics. We envisage this novel concept to have important implications for personalized treatments and management of diabetes-related conditions in the future.

Determination of nitric oxide using light-emitting diode-based colorimeter with tubular porous polypropylene membrane cuvette. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:5301-5307. [PMID: 34212212 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-021-03503-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
On the basis of the Griess-Saltzman (GS) reaction, an optical device for nitric oxide (NO) detection in exhaled breath and atmosphere was developed by employing the light-emitting diode (LED, 560 nm) as the light source, light-to-voltage converter (LVC) as the detector, and porous polypropylene membrane tube (PPMT) as the cuvette. The PPMT was filled with GS reagents and covered with a coaxial jacket tube for gas collection and color reaction; two ends of the PPMT were connected with the LED and LVC to detect the change of light transmissivity in the wavelength range of 530 to 590 nm mainly. A gas absorber filled with GS reagents was installed prior to another absorber filled with KMnO4 solution to eliminate the interference of coexisting NO2. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the device achieved a limit of detection (3σ/k) of 4.4 ppbv for NO detection. The linearity range of this device was divided into two segments, i.e., 25 to 100 ppbv and 50 to 1000 ppbv, with both coefficients of determination > 0.99. The relative standard deviation was 2.7% (n = 9, c = 100 ppbv), and the analytical time was 5.5 min per detection. The minimum detectable quantity was decreased to 1.18 ng, which was ~ 100 times lower than the original GS method (115 ng). The present device was applied for determination of NO in exhaled breath, vehicle exhaust, and air. In addition to satisfactory spiking recoveries (i.e., 103% and 107%), the analytical results of the present device were in agreement with the results obtained by the standard method. These results assured the practicality of the developed device for NO detection in real environmental samples.

Abstract
Cellular metabolites play a crucial role in promoting and regulating cellular activities, but it has been difficult to monitor these cellular metabolites in living cells and in real time. Over the past decades, iterative development and improvements of fluorescent probes have been made, resulting in the effective monitoring of metabolites. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the use of fluorescent probes for tracking some key metabolites, such as adenosine triphosphate, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cyclic guanosine 5'-monophosphate, Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reactive oxygen species, sugar, carbon monoxide, and nitric oxide for both whole cell and subcellular imaging.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous, volatile, cellular signaling molecule that operates across a wide physiological concentration range (pM-µM) in different tissues. It is a highly diffusible messenger and intermediate in various metabolic pathways. NO plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimum cardiovascular function, particularly by regulating vascular tone and blood flow. This review highlights the need for accurate, real-time bioimaging of NO in clinical diagnostic, therapeutic, monitoring, and theranostic applications within the cardiovascular system. We summarize electrochemical, optical, and nanoscale sensors that allow measurement and imaging of NO, both directly and indirectly via surrogate measurements. The physical properties of NO render it difficult to accurately measure in tissues using direct methods. There are also significant limitations associated with the NO metabolites used as surrogates to indirectly estimate NO levels. All these factors added to significant variability in the measurement of NO using available methodology have led to a lack of sensors and imaging techniques of clinical applicability in relevant vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease. Challenges in applying current methods to biomedical and clinical translational research, including the wide physiological range of NO and limitations due to the characteristics and toxicity of the sensors are discussed, as are potential targets and modifications for future studies. The development of biocompatible nanoscale sensors for use in combination with existing clinical imaging modalities provides a feasible opportunity for bioimaging NO within the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Since the 1980s, molecular biology has been used to investigate medical field mechanisms that still require the use of crude biological materials in order to achieve their necessary goals. Transcription factor-induced pluripotent stem cells are used in regenerative medicine to screen drugs and to support lost tissues. However, these cells insufficiently reconstruct whole organs and require various intact cells, such as damaged livers and diabetic pancreases. For efficient gene transfer in medical use, virally mediated gene transfers are used, although immunogenic issues are investigated. To obtain efficient detective and diagnostic power in intractable diseases, biological tools such as roundworms and zebrafish have been found to be useful for high-throughput screening (HST) and diagnosis. Taken together, this biological approach will help to fill the gaps between medical needs and novel innovations in the field of medicine.
