Evaluation of a biomarker (NO) dynamics in inflammatory zebrafish and periodontitis saliva samples via a fast-response and sensitive fluorescent probe. Bioorg Chem 2024; 143:107014. [PMID: 38061180 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.107014] [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: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
Many pathological processes include nitric oxide (NO), a signaling transduction molecule. Tumors, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, and other illnesses are linked to abnormal NO levels. Thus, evaluating NO levels in vitro and in vivo is crucial for studying chemical biology process of associated disorders. This work devised and manufactured a coumarin-based fluorescent probe ZPS-NO to detect nitric oxide (NO). The reaction between ZPS-NO and NO produced a highly selective and sensitive optical response that caused a powerful fluorescence "turn-on" effect with a ultra-low NO detection limit of 14.5 nM. Furthermore, the probe was applied to sense and image NO in living cells and inflammatory model of zebrafish, as well as to detect NO in periodontitis patients' saliva samples. We anticipate that probe ZPS-NO will serve as a practical and effective tool for assessing the interactions and evaluation of periodontitis development.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023:e2305095. [PMID: 37665594 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202305095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies have made significant progress in cancer treatment. However, tumor adjuvant therapy still faces challenges due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of cancer, genomic instability, and the formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Functional materials possess unique biological properties such as long circulation times, tumor-specific targeting, and immunomodulation. The combination of functional materials with natural substances and nanotechnology has led to the development of smart biomaterials with multiple functions, high biocompatibilities, and negligible immunogenicities, which can be used for precise cancer treatment. Recently, subcellular structure-targeting functional materials have received particular attention in various biomedical applications including the diagnosis, sensing, and imaging of tumors and drug delivery. Subcellular organelle-targeting materials can precisely accumulate therapeutic agents in organelles, considerably reduce the threshold dosages of therapeutic agents, and minimize drug-related side effects. This review provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the research progress in subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy based on functional nanomaterials. Moreover, it explains the challenges and prospects of subcellular organelle-targeting functional materials in precision oncology. The review will serve as an excellent cutting-edge guide for researchers in the field of subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy.
