Dual-recognition "turn-off-on" fluorescent Biosensor triphenylamine-based continuous detection of copper ion and glyphosate applicated in environment and living system. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 477:135216. [PMID: 39047560 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Heavy metal Cu2+ emitted in industry and residues of glyphosate pesticides are pervasive in ecosystems, accumulated in water bodies and organisms' overtime, constituting hazard to human and ecological balance. The development of rapid, highly selective, reversibility and sensitive biosensor in vivo detection for Cu2+ and glyphosate was imminent. A novel dual-recognition fluorescence biosensor MPH was successfully synthesized based on triphenylamine, which demonstrated remarkable ratiometric fluorescence quenching toward Cu2+, while MPH-Cu2+ (1:1) ensemble exhibited ratiometric fluorescence restoration for glyphosate, both with observable color changes in daylight and UV lamp. The biosensor exhibited rapid, outstanding selectivity, anti-interference, and multiple cycles reversibility through "turn-off-on" fluorescence towards Cu2+ and glyphosate, respectively. Surprisingly, the clearly binding mechanisms of MPH to Cu2+ and MPH-Cu2+ ensemble to glyphosate were determined, respectively, based on the Job's plot, FT-IR, ESI-HRMS, 1H NMR titration and theoretical calculations of dynamics and thermodynamics. In addition, biosensor MPH demonstrated successful detection of Cu2+ and glyphosate across diverse environmental samples including tap water, extraction solutions of traditional Chinese medicine honeysuckle and soil samples. In the meantime, fluorescence imaging of Cu2+ and glyphosate at both micro and macro scales in various living organisms, such as rice roots, MCF-7 cells, zebrafish, and mice, were successfully achieved. Overall, this work was expected to become a promising and versatile fluorescence biosensor for rapid and reversible detection of Cu2+ and glyphosate both in vitro and vivo.

Abstract
Gene therapeutics are promising for treating diseases at the genetic level, with some already validated for clinical use. Recently, nanostructures have emerged for the targeted delivery of genetic material. Nanomaterials, exhibiting advantageous properties such as a high surface-to-volume ratio, biocompatibility, facile functionalization, substantial loading capacity, and tunable physicochemical characteristics, are recognized as non-viral vectors in gene therapy applications. Despite progress, current non-viral vectors exhibit notably low gene delivery efficiency. Progress in nanotechnology is essential to overcome extracellular and intracellular barriers in gene delivery. Specific nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon quantum dots (CQDs), nanodiamonds (NDs), and similar carbon-based structures can accommodate diverse genetic materials such as plasmid DNA (pDNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), small interference RNA (siRNA), micro RNA (miRNA), and antisense oligonucleotides (AONs). To address challenges such as high toxicity and low transfection efficiency, advancements in the features of carbon-based nanostructures (CBNs) are imperative. This overview delves into three types of CBNs employed as vectors in drug/gene delivery systems, encompassing their synthesis methods, properties, and biomedical applications. Ultimately, we present insights into the opportunities and challenges within the captivating realm of gene delivery using CBNs.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQD) are an advanced fluorescent material, which has attracted more and more attention in theoretical research and practical applications. To obtain stable CQDs with high fluorescence characteristics for detecting trace metal ions in water, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) based fluorescent sensors were synthesized by the hydrothermal method, using citric acid and urea as source. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the synthesized N-CQDs maintained a narrow particle size distribution bellow 10 nm, and its average size was 3.07 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) indicated that abundant hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups existed on N-CQDs surface, which helped N-CQDs highly disperse in water. In addition, UV-vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence demonstrated that the N-CQDs obtained a 10.27% of quantum yield (QY) with relatively high and stable fluorescence performance. As a fluorescent sensor, the N-CQDs showed a fluorescence "ON-OFF" mechanism during the Cu2+ detection, which was induced from the electrons transition in surface functional groups. The final N-CQDs exhibited a wide linear relationship between fluorescence response and concentration of Cu2+ in range of 0.3-0.7 μM with a detection limit of 0.071 μM. Furthermore, the detection of Cu2+ in the simulating surface water (by adding interfering metal ions in purified water) and the tap water (from municipal water in Beijing) were used to verify N-CQDs practical application.

Abstract
Owing to the high risk to human and environmental health, heavy metal pollution has become a global problem. Rapid, accurate and multiplexed determination of heavy metal ions is critical. In this work, we reported a promising approach to designing ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobes for multiplexed determination of Hg2+, Cu2+, and Ag+ ions. The nanoprobes (CDs-QDx) were designed by mixing the CDs and multicolor CdTe QDs without the involvement of recognition elements. The CDs were insensitive to heavy metal ions while CdTe QDs showed the size-dependent fluorescence response to different heavy metal ions, thereby establishing a ratiometric detection scheme by measuring the fluorescence intensity ratios of CDs-QDx systems. By evaluating the detection performance, the CDs-QDx (x = 570, 650, and 702) were successfully used for differentiation and quantification of Hg2+, Cu2+, and Ag+ ions. In addition, we also carried out the detection of heavy metal ions in actual samples with acceptable results. We believed that this work offers new insight into the design of ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe for multiplexed determination of not only heavy metals but also some other analytes by combining the CDs with CdTe QDs with fine-tuned sizes.

Abstract
Using aurine and citric acid as precursors, we have synthesized stable blue-fluorescent nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dots (NS-CDs), with a high quantum yield of up to 68.94% via a thermal lysis method. The fluorescent NS-CDs were employed as a sensitive sensor for the integration detection of Hg2+ and glutathione (GSH). This was attributed to Hg2+ effectively quenching the fluorescence of the NS-CDs by static quenching, and then GSH was able to recover the fluorescence owing to the stronger binding between Hg2+ and the sulfhydryl of GSH. Based on the "on-off-on" tactic, the detection limits of Hg2+ ions and GSH were 50 nM and 67 nM respectively. The fluorescence sensor was successfully applied to detect Hg2+ ions and GSH in actual samples (tap water and fetal bovine serum). Furthermore, we have proved that the sensor had good reversibility. Overall, our NS-CDs can serve as effective sensors for environmental and biological analysis in the future.
