Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Abstract
As a biomarker of oxidative stress, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a complex role in organisms, including regulating cell signaling, respiration, the immune system, and other life processes. Therefore, it is important to develop a tool that can simply and effectively monitor H2O2 levels in organisms and the environment. In this work, naphthalene fluorophores with a borate structure were introduced into chitosan (CTS) azide, and a CTS-based fluorescence sensor (CTS-HP) was designed for sensitive H2O2 detection. The biocompatibility and degradability of CTS endowed CTS-HP with reduced biotoxicity compared with organic fluorescent dyes, and the substitution degree of fluorophores on the CTS chains was 0.703. The randomly coiled chain structure of the CTS-HP probe enabled the boronic acid recognition sites on the fluorophores to achieve the enrichment of analyte H2O2 through a synergistic effect. Therefore, the probe CTS-HP (10 μg mL-1) exhibited a 21-fold fluorescence enhancement and good detection limit (LOD = 8.98 nM) in H2O2 solution, reaching the maximum fluorescence response faster (within 16 min). The probe also successfully achieved the fluorescence imaging of endogenous and exogenous H2O2 in zebrafish and living cells and labeled the recovery experiment of H2O2 in real water samples (recoveries rates of 90.93-102.9 % and RSD < 3.09 %).

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a common environmental toxicant that can harm the human respiratory tract and nervous system when exposed for long period of time. As a carcinogen, HCHO also increases the risk of cancer in humans. HCHO can be produced endogenously in living systems and plays an essential role in physiological and biochemical reactions and pathogenesis. Therefore, monitoring the level of HCHO in vivo and in vitro has become the focus of attention. The designed naphthalene fluorophore was introduced onto modified chitosan to prepare a chitosan-based fluorescent probe (CS-FA) for HCHO detection. Compared to other small-molecule probe analogs for the detection of HCHO, the randomly coiled polymer chain of chitosan enabled CS-FA to "enrich" HCHO using the synergistic binding of hydrazino-naphthalimide recognition sites. Thus, the reaction of the analyte with the recognition site was accelerated, resulting in a faster equilibrium fluorescence response (2-3 min) and high sensitivity. In addition, the introduction of biomass material chitosan also improved the biocompatibility of the probe. Then a series of composite materials (test strips and hydrogel) were prepared based on the probe to expand the application form of the probe.

Abstract
A zirconium-based UiO-type UiO-66-(OH)2 metal-organic framework@carbon dot composite (Zr-MOF@CD) is synthesized through a facile solvent-free thermal method. The Zr-MOF@CD exhibits pH-responsive fluorescence behavior, which emits blue fluorescence for pH < 9 at an emission wavelength of 470 nm. At pH > 9, the fluorescence color turns from blue to yellow, with the emission behavior at 535 nm. Zr-MOF@CDs can serve as functional nanofillers in the epoxy coating for the fabrication of a smart coating, which can realize coating damage warning and metal corrosion reporting. The blue fluorescence can be observed in the area of coating damage with just a minor scratch. Once the scratch is severe enough to expose the metal substrate, the cathodic reaction of oxygen reduction in the corrosion galvanic cell causes an increased pH, where the emission of yellow fluorescence can be identified. The stable fluorescence response is free from the influence of concentration, time, temperature, and the interfering substance. Zr-MOF@CDs can also serve as nanocontainers for loading with the corrosion inhibitor and realizing the repairing of metal corrosion. The development of the smart coating with dual functions of autonomous reporting and repairing holds great potential to improve the lifetime of metals in various industrial applications.

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
Cellular labeling through the use of dyes is of great interest to the biomedical sciences for the characterization of the location and distribution of biomolecules and also for the tracking of the course of biological processes in both health and illness. This paper reports the synthesis, characterization, and subsequent evaluation as metal sensors and cell staining probes of four aza-BODIPY compounds [herein referred to as 7(a-d)]. Compounds 7(b-d) were found to display an outstanding selectivity for Cu(II) because their emission band at 720 nm was progressively quenched by this metal, presenting fluorescence quenching between 75 and 95%. On the other hand, cell imaging studies with pancreatic β-cells proved that aza-BODIPYs 7a and 7b showed selectivity for the cytoplasm, while 7c and 7d were selective for the cell membrane. Moreover, aza-BODIPY 7b allowed to characterize in a clear way a lipotoxic condition mediated by saturated fatty acids, a critical phenomenon on β-cell damage associated with diabetes mellitus type II. Taken together, the presented results highlight the obtained aza-BODIPY compounds as selective sensing/staining probes with the potential to be used in the biomedical field.

Abstract
In view of the significant role of H2S in brain functioning, it is proposed that H2S may also possess protective effects against adverse effects of neurotoxicants. Therefore, the objective of the present review is to discuss the neuroprotective effects of H2S against toxicity of a wide spectrum of endogenous and exogenous agents involved in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases as etiological factors or key players in disease pathogenesis. Generally, the existing data demonstrate that H2S possesses neuroprotective effects upon exposure to endogenous (amyloid β, glucose, and advanced-glycation end-products, homocysteine, lipopolysaccharide, and ammonia) and exogenous (alcohol, formaldehyde, acrylonitrile, metals, 6-hydroxydopamine, as well as 1-methyl-4-phenyl- 1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and its metabolite 1-methyl-4-phenyl pyridine ion (MPP)) neurotoxicants. On the one hand, neuroprotective effects are mediated by S-sulfhydration of key regulators of antioxidant (Sirt1, Nrf2) and inflammatory response (NF-κB), resulting in the modulation of the downstream signaling, such as SIRT1/TORC1/CREB/BDNF-TrkB, Nrf2/ARE/HO-1, or other pathways. On the other hand, H2S appears to possess a direct detoxicative effect by binding endogenous (ROS, AGEs, Aβ) and exogenous (MeHg) neurotoxicants, thus reducing their toxicity. Moreover, the alteration of H2S metabolism through the inhibition of H2S-synthetizing enzymes in the brain (CBS, 3-MST) may be considered a significant mechanism of neurotoxicity. Taken together, the existing data indicate that the modulation of cerebral H2S metabolism may be used as a neuroprotective strategy to counteract neurotoxicity of a wide spectrum of endogenous and exogenous neurotoxicants associated with neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease), fetal alcohol syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, environmental neurotoxicant exposure, etc. In this particular case, modulation of H2S-synthetizing enzymes or the use of H2S-releasing drugs should be considered as the potential tools, although the particular efficiency and safety of such interventions are to be addressed in further studies.

Abstract
There has been rapid progress in the development of fast, sensitive, cheap and low-cytotoxicity micro-molecule fluorescent probes for application in various fields, including disease diagnosis, food safety and environmental safety. As an analytical tool, dual-function fluorescent probes with dual-emission responses have attracted considerable attention due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency over single-function sensors. This review primarily describes research progress on multifunctional probes in terms of the reaction type and coordination type, as well as the general design principles of probes. The analytes include reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive sulfur species (RSS), harmful cations and anions, etc. Multifunctional probes for food, medical and environmental applications are listed for future research. To improve the development of rapid detection methods, trends and strategies in the development of multifunctional fluorescent probes are also discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), previously recognized as a toxic gas, has emerged as an important gaseous signaling molecule along with nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and also hydrogen. H2S can be endogenously produced in the mammalian body at a very low level for various pathophysiological processes. Notably, H2S can interact with several essential metals in the body such as iron, copper, nickel, and zinc to carry out specific functions. The interactions of H2S with metal-binding proteins have been shown to aid in its signal transduction and cellular metabolism. In addition, H2S is capable of providing a cytoprotective role against metal toxicity. As the research in the field of H2S signaling in biology and medicine increases, much progresses have been developed for detecting H2S via interaction with metals. In this review, the interaction of H2S with metals, specifically in regard to metal-driven metabolism of H2S, the protection against metal toxicity by H2S and the detection of H2S using metals will be discussed. Discovering the interactions of this gasotransmitter with metals is important for determining the mechanisms underlying the cellular functions of H2S as well as developing novel therapeutic avenues.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn) are essential regulatory signaling molecules generated by the entire body, including the central nervous system. Researchers have focused on the classical H2S signaling from the past several decades, whereas the last decade has shown the emergence of H2S-induced protein S-sulfhydration signaling as a potential therapeutic approach. Cysteine S-persulfidation is a critical paradigm of post-translational modification in the process of H2S signaling. Additionally, studies have shown the cross-relationship between S-sulfhydration and other cysteine-induced post-translational modifications, namely nitrosylation and carbonylation. In the central nervous system, S-sulfhydration is involved in the cytoprotection through various signaling pathways, viz. inflammatory response, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and angiogenesis. Further, studies have demonstrated H2S-induced S-sulfhydration in regulating different biological processes, such as mitochondrial integrity, calcium homeostasis, blood-brain permeability, cerebral blood flow, and long-term potentiation. Thus, protein S-sulfhydration becomes a crucial regulatory molecule in cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we first described the generation of intracellular H2S followed by the application of H2S in the regulation of cerebral blood flow and blood-brain permeability. Further, we described the involvement of S-sulfhydration in different biological and cellular functions, such as inflammatory response, mitochondrial integrity, calcium imbalance, and oxidative stress. Moreover, we highlighted the importance of S-sulfhydration in cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
A new long-wavelength fluorescent probe 1 that could specifically identify H2S has been successfully synthesized and applied for imaging H2S in zebrafish. Probe 1 was readily prepared by featuring nitrobenzene as the recognition unit coupled to resorufin. The fluorescence off-on response is based on the fact that H2S can reduce the nitro group to an amino group, followed by the 1,6-rearrangement-elimination and the release of resorufin. By evaluating the application abilities of probe 1 in vivo and vitro, it is shown that probe 1 has high sensitivity and selectivity to H2S, low background fluorescence interference, with a low detection limit of 17.30 μM. Notably, the occurrence of the reaction can be observed by the naked eye, and the color of the solution changes from yellow to pink. More importantly, it is the first time that using paper chips as carrier to detect H2S, which lays a foundation for the practical application of detecting H2S. The excellent analysis and application capabilities of probe 1 make it an effective tool for further application in practice.

[PMID: 34825272 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-021-03777-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a biologically signaling molecule that mediates a wide range of physiological functions, which is frequently misregulated in numerous pathological processes. As such, measurement of H2S holds great attention due to its unique physiological and pathophysiological roles. Currently, a variety of methods based on the H2S-involved reactions have been reported for detection of endogenous H2S, bearing the advantages of good specificity and high sensitivity. This review describes in detail the types of reactions, their mechanisms, and their applications in biological research, thus hopefully providing some guidelines to the researchers in this field for further investigation.

Abstract
Al3+ and H2S play essential roles in various physiological processes. However, excess Al3+ and H2S are harmful to health. Therefore, it is necessary to design a sensitive method for the detection of Al3+ and H2S. In this work, compound L was developed based on salicylaldoxime and 4-aminobenzamide. L displayed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics in the solid state due to a unique dimer formation via intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In addition, L could serve as a multi-responsive fluorescence probe for Al3+ based on the coordination reaction in a MeOH/H2O (9/1, v/v, pH = 7.4) medium and for H2S based on the addition reaction in EtOH/H2O (7/3, v/v, pH = 7.4) solution. In addition, L showed a fluorescence colorimetric response to Al3+ in the solid state. Furthermore, L was applied to detect Al3+ and H2S in actual water samples.
