Abstract
Light-mediated therapeutics, including photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy and light-triggered drug delivery, have been widely studied due to their high specificity and effective therapy. However, conventional light-mediated therapies usually depend on the activation of light-sensitive molecules with UV or visible light, which have poor penetration in biological tissues. Over the past decade, efforts have been made to engineer nanosystems that can generate luminescence through excitation with near-infrared (NIR) light, ultrasound or X-ray. Certain nanosystems can even carry out light-mediated therapy through chemiluminescence, eliminating the need for external activation. Compared to UV or visible light, these 4 excitation modes penetrate more deeply into biological tissues, triggering light-mediated therapy in deeper tissues. In this review, we systematically report the design and mechanisms of different luminescent nanosystems excited by the 4 excitation sources, methods to enhance the generated luminescence, and recent applications of such nanosystems in deep tissue light-mediated therapeutics.

[PMID: 37925881 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is a crucial non-protein thiol and an indispensable endogenous antioxidant. The aberrant expression of GSH in plasma and cytosol is closely related to numerous diseases, including cancer. Therefore, establishing a sensitive method for analyzing GSH has important application value for biomedical research and clinical medical detection. Herein, A method for the rapid and simple detection of GSH was proposed, which is based on an anti-etching mechanism by utilizing gold nanotetrapods (Au NTPs) and manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs). In the absence of GSH, Au NTPs solution can cause a distinct color change from gray-green to red through the etching effect of MnO2 NSs. However, in the presence of GSH, the redox reaction between GSH and MnO2 NSs inhibits the etching of Au NTPs by MnO2 NSs, and Au NTPs solution maintains persistent gray-green color. The colorimetric probe exhibited excellent selectivity for GSH. The limits of detection for GSH were 43.5 nM (UV-vis spectrum) and 0.25 μM (naked eyes). The sensing technique exhibited excellent linearity between wavelength shift and GSH concentration within the range of 0.25 μM-1.5 μM. The outcomes of GSH detection in actual biological samples demonstrate that this probe has the potential to be applied to GSH detection in intricate biological samples.

Abstract
In this study, a simple and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on gold nanostars@reduced graphene oxide (AuNS@rGO) was successfully developed for the detection of benzo[a]pyrene in foods. The detection strategy involved benzo[a]pyrene adsorption on reduced graphene oxide, followed SERS detection of adsorbed molecules. Owing to the large electric fields generated by the gold nanostars under laser irradiation, which greatly amplified the Raman signals of benzo[a]pyrene, very high sensitivity for the target analyte was achieved. Under optimized conditions, the SERS sensor exhibited a wide linear detection range for benzo[a]pyrene (from 0.1 μg L-1 to 10000 μg L-1), with a low limit of detection of 0.0028 μg L-1. Chicken samples spiked with benzo[a]pyrene were assayed using the sensor, with recoveries ranging from 89.20% to 100.80%. The benzo[a]pyrene content in roasted mutton sample was quantified using the SERS sensor and a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method, with similar results being obtained.

Abstract
In recent years, mesoporous cobalt oxides have attracted more attention due to their exceptional physical and chemical properties and their important applications in various fields. The synthesis of cobalt oxides of various sizes, morphologies, and porosity is still a challenging process. In this report, mesoporous Co3O4NPs with different porosity were synthesized through facile, one-step, and cost-effective routes, without using any complicated materials or instruments, via the sonochemical process. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the as-synthesized NPs. XRD technique was used to determine the crystal structure and phase of the NPs, BET to describe the porous nature of the NPs, and TEM to investigate the structure and morphology of the NPs. Next, the effect of as-synthesized Co3O4NPs as a catalyst for the luminol-H2O2chemiluminescence system was studied. Co3O4NPs were chosen since they have nanoscale size, high specific surface area, and mesoporous nature. Therefore, these NPs can form more active sites and thus show unique catalytic activity than common ionic catalysts such as Co2+, Fe3+, Cu2+used in the luminol-H2O2CL system. Finally, this system was used to detect and measure H2O2and glucose under optimal conditions. A good linear relationship was observed between the chemiluminescence intensity of the designed system and the concentration of H2O2and glucose. A linear range like 0.25-10 pM for H2O2and 1-30 nM for glucose was obtained. The excellent LOD of the proposed method for measuring H2O2was about 0.07 pM, and for measuring glucose was about 0.14 nM.

Abstract
A novel [Co(L)(H2O)2] (1) was obtained by hydrothermal method and it exhibited a 1D chain with exposed carboxyl groups, the unique coordination mode made it have unusual physical and chemical stability. Meanwhile, 1 showed peroxidase-like and weak oxidase-like activity. 1 as a peroxidase mimic enzyme had an excellent affinity for the substrates luminol and H2O2. Compared with HRP, 1 had catalytic activity in a wide pH range and showed the best catalytic activity at pH 7.4. Meanwhile, the catalysis process of 1 was reversible and recyclable, and the catalytic activity remained stable after different pH and temperatures and long-time storage. Based on the inhibition of glutathione on luminol-H2O2-MOF 1 chemiluminescence signal, a chemiluminescence method for the determination of glutathione has been proposed with high sensitivity and selectivity and had been applied for detecting glutathione in cell lysate with satisfactory results.

Abstract
We here report on a facile method for preparation of gold nanostar-graphene quantum dot (AuNS@GQD) composite, which produces highly active surfactant-free AuNSs. The etching reaction of this composite with Na2SO3 was studied and used as a new sensing strategy for colorimetric detection of nM levels of cysteine. In the presence of Na2SO3, the shape of AuNSs changes to sphere-like nanoparticles, leading to a distinct color change of solution from light green to indigo. This phenomenon results from the redox reaction of Au atoms at the apexes and sharp corners of the NSs with oxygen which leads to the formation of [Au(SO3)2]3-. Our studies indicated that the stars with larger sizes show greater activity in etching reaction since they have more branches and sharper tips. Due to the strong coordination between Au and thiols, pre-added cysteine can protect the AuNSs from SO32- etching and so the shape and the color of AuNSs remain unaltered. This anti-etching effect was used for the detection of cysteine with the detection limit as low as 0.35 nM. The developed colorimetric sensor was validated by HPLC method and applied for analysis of human plasma samples.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescent method for the determination of GSH levels in aqueous solutions involving the utilization of citric acid as a derivatization reagent was developed. Therefore, the crucial parameters of the derivatization process were established from what has resulted in the development of a sensitive, reproducible, and accurate GSH assay. The method was validated, and its applicability in the characterization of the GSH concentration in dietary supplements concerning the selectivity in the determination of GSH over GSSG was both confirmed. The chemical structure of the new fluorophore 3-[(carboxymethyl)carbamoyl]-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid - CTPC was elucidated using detailed NMR: one-dimensional (1H, 13C), as well as two-dimensional NMR spectra (1H-1H COSY, 1H-13C HSQC, 1H-13C HMBC, 1H-15N HSQC, 1H-15N HMBC) experiments. Besides, the essential optical, biological and antioxidative properties of CTPC were investigated.

Abstract
A chemiluminescence (CL) assay on the basis of the tremendous enhancing effect of copper and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Cu,N-CDs) on the luminol-NaIO4 reaction was introduced for the determination of nanomolar levels of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Cu,N-CDs were synthesized by a hydrothermal approach and characterized by TEM, XRD, EDX, and FTIR analysis. The potential CL mechanism was elucidated by recording the CL spectrum and by evaluating the influence of reactive oxygen species. It was found that 4-NP remarkably inhibited the luminol-NaIO4-Cu,N-CDs reaction and reduced the CL signal of the reaction. This fact was applied for developing a CL assay for 4-NP. Under the optimized conditions, 4-NP could be determined in the concentration range of 0.25 to 150 nM, with a detection limit as low as 0.06 nM. This assay was successfully exploited for the analysis of 4-NP in real environmental samples.
