Abstract
Depression is a serious mental disease that causes grievous harm to human health and quality of life. The vesicular exocytosis of noradrenaline (NE), rather than its intrinsic intracellular concentration, is more associated with depression. Based on the reports on exocytosis of NE, it is reasonable to assume that the viscosity of cells has an important effect on the release of NE. Herein, a dual-response fluorescent probe (RHO-DCO-NE) for detecting NE and viscosity was designed and synthesized. The probe can simultaneously detect NE concentration and viscosity level with negligible crosstalk between the two channels. We utilized the probe to study the effect of viscosity changes on the NE release of PC12 and the corticosterone-induced PC12 cells. The experiment data revealed that the decrease in viscosity level can accelerate the release of NE of depression cell models. The finding provides new insight into the study of the pathological mechanisms of depression.

Recent progress and outlooks in rhodamine-based fluorescent probes for detection and imaging of reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species. Talanta 2024; 274:126004. [PMID: 38564824 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126004] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) serve as vital mediators essential for preserving intracellular redox homeostasis within the human body, thereby possessing significant implications across physiological and pathological domains. Nevertheless, deviations from normal levels of ROS, RNS, and RSS disturb redox homeostasis, leading to detrimental consequences that compromise bodily integrity. This disruption is closely linked to the onset of various human diseases, thereby posing a substantial threat to human health and survival. Small-molecule fluorescent probes exhibit considerable potential as analytical instruments for the monitoring of ROS, RNS, and RSS due to their exceptional sensitivity and selectivity, operational simplicity, non-invasiveness, localization capabilities, and ability to facilitate in situ optical signal generation for real-time dynamic analyte monitoring. Due to their distinctive transition from their spirocyclic form (non-fluorescent) to their ring-opened form (fluorescent), along with their exceptional light stability, broad wavelength range, high fluorescence quantum yield, and high extinction coefficient, rhodamine fluorophores have been extensively employed in the development of fluorescent probes. This review primarily concentrates on the investigation of fluorescent probes utilizing rhodamine dyes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection from the perspective of different response groups since 2016. The scope of this review encompasses the design of probe structures, elucidation of response mechanisms, and exploration of biological applications.

Abstract
Quantifying trace glycoproteins in biofluids requires ultrasensitive components, but feedback is not available in the current portable platforms of point-of-care (POC) diagnosis technologies. A compact and ultrasensitive bioelectrochemical patch was based on boronate-affinity amplified organic electrochemical transistors (BAAOECTs) for POC use was developed to overcome this dilemma. Benefit from the cascading signal enhancement deriving from boronate-affinity targeting multiple regions of glycoprotein and OECTs' inherent signal amplification capability, the BAAOECTs achieved a detection limit of 300 aM within 25 min, displaying about 3 orders of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with the commercial electrochemical luminescence (ECL) kit. By using a microfluidic chip, a microcontroller module, and a wireless sensing system, the testing workflows of the above patch was automated, allowing for running the sample-to-answer pipeline even in a resource-limited environment. The reliability of such portable biosensing platform is well recognized in clinical diagnostic applications of heart failure. Overall, the remarkable enhanced sensitivity and automated workflow of BAAOECTs biosensing platform provide a prospective and generalized design policy for expanding the POC diagnosis capabilities of glycoproteins.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide exhibits crucial functions in many biological and physiological processes. The abnormal levels of H2S have been revealed to be associated with numerous human diseases. The majority of existing fluorescent probes toward H2S may still need to be improved in terms of single output signal, water solubility, biotoxicity and photostability. The construction of a ratiometric fluorescent probe based on metal complex is one effective strategy for avoiding the mentioned problems for precisely detecting H2S. Herein, we report an iridium(III) complex-based ratiometric luminescence probe (Ir-PNBD), which is designed by coupling the 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazoles (NBD) to one of the bipyridine ligands of Ir (III) complex luminophore through a piperazition moiety. Ir-PNBD owns high selectivity and sensitivity toward H2S, and an excellent ability to target mitochondria. Moreover, Ir-PNBD was further successfully utilized to visualize exogenous and endogenous H2S in HeLa cells and zebrafish. Our work offers new opportunities to gain deeper insights into the construction of transition metal complex-based ratiometric luminescent probes and expands their applications in biomedical imaging and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
As trypanocide, several side effects have been reported in the use of Isometamidium chloride. This study was therefore, designed to evaluate its ability to induce oxidative stress and DNA damage using D. melanogaster as a model organism. The LC50 of the drug was determined by exposing the flies (1-3 days old of both genders) to six different concentrations (1 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg per 10 g of diet) of the drug for a period of seven days. The effect of the drug on survival (28 days), climbing behavior, redox status, oxidative DNA lesion, expression of p53 and PARP1 (Poly-ADP-Ribose Polymerase-1) genes after five days exposure of flies to 4.49 mg, 8.97 mg, 17.94 mg and 35.88 mg per 10 g diet was evaluated. The interaction of the drug in silico with p53 and PARP1 proteins was also evaluated. The result showed the LC50 of isometamidium chloride to be 35.88 mg per 10 g diet for seven days. Twenty-eight (28) days of exposure to isometamidium chloride showed a decreased percentage survival in a time and concentration-dependent manner. Isometamidium chloride significantly (p < 0.05) reduced climbing ability, total thiol level, Glutathione-S-transferase, and Catalase activity. The level of H2O2 was significantly (p < 0.05) increased. The result also showed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the relative mRNA levels of p53 and PARP1 genes. The in silico molecular docking of isometamidium with p53 and PARP1 proteins showed high binding energy of -9.4 Kcal/mol and -9.2 Kcal/mol respectively. The results suggest that isometamidium chloride could be cytotoxic and a potential inhibitor of p53 and PARP1 proteins.

Abstract
H2S plays a crucial role in numerous physiological and pathological processes. In this project, a new fluorescent probe, SG-H2S, for the detection of H2S, was developed by introducing the recognition group 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether. The combination of rhodamine derivatives can produce both colorimetric reactions and fluorescence reactions. Compared with the current H2S probes, the main advantages of SG-H2S are its wide pH range (5-9), fast response (30 min), and high selectivity in competitive species (including biological mercaptan). The probe SG-H2S has low cytotoxicity and has been successfully applied to imaging in MCF-7 cells, HeLa cells, and BALB/c nude mice. We hope that SG-H2S will provide a vital method for the field of biology.

Abstract
Dual-locked activatable optical probes, leveraging the orthogonal effects of two biomarkers, hold great promise for the specific imaging of biological processes. However, their design approaches are limited to a short-distance energy or charge transfer mechanism, while the signal readout relies on fluorescence, which inevitably suffers from tissue autofluorescence. Herein, we report a long-distance singlet oxygen transfer approach to develop a bienzyme-locked activatable afterglow probe (BAAP) that emits long-lasting self-luminescence without real-time light excitation for the dynamic imaging of an intratumoral granule enzyme. Composed of an immuno-biomarker-activatable singlet oxygen (1O2) donor and a cancer-biomarker-activatable 1O2 acceptor, BAAP is initially nonafterglow. Only in the presence of both immune and cancer biomarkers can 1O2 be generated by the activated donor and subsequently diffuse toward the activated acceptor, resulting in bright near-infrared afterglow with a high signal-to-background ratio and specificity toward an intratumoral granule enzyme. Thus, BAAP allows for real-time tracking of tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes, enabling the evaluation of cancer immunotherapy and the differentiation of tumor from local inflammation with superb sensitivity and specificity, which are unachievable by single-locked probes. Thus, this study not only presents the first dual-locked afterglow probe but also proposes a new design way toward dual-locked probes via reactive oxygen species transfer processes.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for cellular signaling. Various pathophysiological conditions are also associated with elevated levels of ROS. Hence, ROS-sensitive triggers have been extensively used for selective payload delivery. Such applications are predicated on two key functions: (1) a sufficient magnitude of concentration difference for the interested ROS between normal tissue/cells and intended sites and (2) appropriate reaction kinetics to ensure a sufficient level of selectivity for payload release. Further, ROS refers to a group of species with varying reactivity, which should not be viewed as a uniform group. In this review, we critically analyze data on the concentrations of different ROS species under various pathophysiological conditions and examine how reaction kinetics affect the success of ROS-sensitive linker chemistry. Further, we discuss different ROS linker chemistry in the context of their applications in drug delivery and imaging. This review brings new insights into research in ROS-triggered delivery, highlights factors to consider in maximizing the chance for success and discusses pitfalls to avoid.

Abstract
We designed and prepared probe W-1 for the detection of H2O2. W-1 showed excellent selectivity for H2O2 and was accompanied by colorimetric signal changes. The excellent linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and H2O2 concentration (0-100 μM) provided favorable conditions for its quantitative detection. In addition, the combination of portable test strips with a smartphone platform provided great convenience for on-site visual detection of H2O2. Moreover, W-1 possessed targeting mitochondria property and could be applied to image the exogenous and endogenous H2O2 in cells to distinguish normal cells and cancer cells. Lastly, W-1 was used for monitoring the H2O2 fluctuation of the diabetic process in mice, and the results showed an increase in H2O2 levels in diabetes. Therefore, the probe provided a tool for understanding the pathological and physiological mechanisms of diabetes by imaging H2O2.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) redox control and arginine metabolism are critical in regulating the physiological response to injury and oxidative stress. Quantification assessment of the GSH/arginine redox metabolism supports monitoring metabolic pathway shifts during pathological processes and their linkages to redox regulation. However, assessing the redox status of organisms with complex matrices is challenging, and single redox molecule analysis may not be accurate for interrogating the redox status in cells and in vivo. Herein, guided by a paired derivatization strategy, we present a new ultraperformance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS)-based approach for the functional assessment of biological redox status. Two structurally analogous probes, 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) and newly synthesized 2-methyl-6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (MeAQC), were set for paired derivatization. The developed approach was successfully applied to LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and HDM-induced asthma mice to obtain quantitative information on GSH/arginine redox metabolism. The results suggest that the redox status was remarkably altered upon LPS and HDM stimulation. We expect that this approach will be of good use in a clinical biomarker assay and potential drug screening associated with redox metabolism, oxidative damage, and redox signaling.

Visulization of peroxynitrite variation for accurate diagnosis and assessing treatment response of hepatic fibrosis using a Golgi-targetable ratiometric fluorescent probe.

Abstract
Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is caused by persistent inflammation, which is closely associated with hepatic oxidative stress. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is significantly elevated in HF, which would be regarded as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of HF. Research has shown that ONOO- in the Golgi apparatus can be overproduced in HF, and it can induce hepatocyte injury by triggering Golgi oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the ONOO- inhibitors could effectively relieve HF by inhibiting Golgi ONOO-, but as yet, no Golgi-targetable fluorescent probe available for diagnosis and assessing treatment response of HF through sensing Golgi ONOO-. To this end, we reported a ratiometric fluorescent probe, Golgi-PER, for diagnosis and assessing treatment response of HF through monitoring the Golgi ONOO-. Golgi-PER displayed satisfactory sensitivity, low detection limit, and exceptional selectivity to ONOO-. Combined with excellent biocompatibility and good Golgi-targeting ability, Golgi-PER was further used for ratiometric monitoring the Golgi ONOO- fluctuations and screening of ONOO- inhibitors from polyphenols in living cells. Meanwhile, using Golgi-PER as a probe, the overexpression of Golgi ONOO- in HF and the treatment response of HF to the screened rosmarinic acid were precisely visualized for the first time. Furthermore, the screened RosA has a remarkable therapeutic effect on HF, which may be a new strategy for HF treatment. These results demonstrated the practicability of Golgi-PER for monitoring the occurrence, development, and personalized treatment response of HF.

Abstract
Depression is a debilitating mental illness that poses a serious threat to human health. Nitric Oxide (NO), as an important gasotransmitter, is closely associated with the pathogenesis of depressive disorders. Effective monitoring of NO fluctuation is beneficial for the diagnosis of depression and therapy assessment of antidepressants. Currently, there is a lack of effective methods for rapidly and sensitively identifying NO and elucidating its relationship with depression diseases. Herein, we developed a NIR dye TJ730-based fluorescent probe TJ730-Golgi-NO incorporating benzenesulfonamide as a Golgi-targeted moiety and the thiosemicarbazide group for NO detection. The probe exhibited turn-on fluorescence ability and a large Stokes shift of 158 nm, which shows high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response (<1 min) for NO detection. TJ730-Golgi-NO could detect exogenous and endogenous NO in cells stimulated by Glu and LPS, and target Golgi apparatus. Moreover, we disclose a significant increase of NO in the depression model and a weak fluorescence evidenced in the fluoxetine-treated depression mice. This study provides a competent tool for studying the function of NO and helping improve the effective treatment of depression diseases.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in regulating the immune system by affecting pathogens, cancer cells, and immune cells. Recent advances in biomaterials have leveraged this mechanism to precisely modulate ROS levels in target tissues for improving the effectiveness of immunotherapies in infectious diseases, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Moreover, ROS-responsive biomaterials can trigger the release of immunotherapeutics and provide tunable release kinetics, which can further boost their efficacy. This review will discuss the latest biomaterial-based approaches for both precise modulation of ROS levels and using ROS as a stimulus to control the release kinetics of immunotherapeutics. Finally, we will discuss the existing challenges and potential solutions for clinical translation of ROS-modulating and ROS-responsive approaches for immunotherapy, and provide an outlook for future research.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) severely affects central vision due to progressive macular degeneration and its staggering prevalence is rising globally, especially in the elderly population above 55 years. Increased oxidative stress with aging is considered an important contributor to AMD pathogenesis despite multifaceted risk factors including genetic predisposition and environmental agents. Wet AMD can be managed with routine intra-vitreal injection of angiogenesis inhibitors, but no satisfactory medicine has been approved for the successful management of the dry form. The toxic carbonyls due to photo-oxidative degradation of accumulated bisretinoids within lysosomes initiate a series of events including protein adduct formation, impaired autophagy flux, complement activation, and chronic inflammation, which is implicated in dry AMD. Therapy based on antioxidants has been extensively studied for its promising effect in reducing the impact of oxidative stress. This paper reviews the dry AMD pathogenesis, delineates the effectiveness of dietary and nutrition supplements in clinical studies, and explores pre-clinical studies of antioxidant molecules, extracts, and formulations with their mechanistic insights.

Abstract
Millions of deaths occur each year due to the late diagnosis of abnormal cellular growth within the body. However, the devastating impact of this can be significantly reduced if cancer metastasis is detected early through the use of enzymatic biomarkers. Among several biomarkers, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) stands out as a member of the aminopeptidase family. It is primarily found on the surface of cancer cells such as glioma, ovarian, lung, and prostate cancer, without being overexpressed in normal cells or tissues. Recent years have witnessed significant progress in the field of cancer monitoring and imaging. Fluorescence sensing techniques have been employed, utilizing organic small molecular probes with enzyme-specific recognition sites. These probes emit a fluorescent signal upon interacting with GGT, enabling the imaging, identification, and differentiation of normal and cancerous cells, tissues, and organs. This review article presents a concise overview of recent progress in fluorescent probes developed for the selective detection of GGT, focusing on their applications in cancer imaging. It highlights the observed alterations in the fluorescence and absorption spectra of the probes before and after interaction with GGT. Additionally, the study investigates the changes in the probe molecule's structure following enzyme treatment, evaluates the sensor's detection limit, and consolidated imaging studies conducted using confocal fluorescence analysis. This comprehensive survey is expected to contribute to the advancement of sensing techniques for biomarker detection and cancer imaging, providing valuable insights for refining methodologies and inspiring future developments in this field.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes have become promising tools for monitoring the concentration of peroxynitrite, which is linked to many diseases. However, despite focusing on developing numerous peroxynitrite based fluorescent probes, limited emphasis is placed on their sensing mechanism. Here, we investigated the sensing mechanism of a peroxynitrite fluorescent probe, named BHID-Bpin, with a focus on the relevant excited state dynamics. The photoexcited BHID-Bpin relaxes to its ground state via an efficient nonradiative process (∼300 ps) due to the presence of a minimum energy conical intersection between its first excited state and ground state. However, upon reacting with peroxynitrite, the Bpin moiety is cleaved from BHID-Bpin and BHID is formed. The formed BHID exhibits strong dual band fluorescence which is caused by an ultrafast excited-state intramolecular proton transfer process (∼1 ps).

Abstract
Viscosity and sulfur dioxide derivatives were significant indicators for the assessment of health threat and even cancers, therefore, on-site and real time detection of viscosity and sulfur dioxide derivatives has obtained considerable attentions. An FRET-based fluorescence probe JZX was designed and synthesized based on a novel energy donor of N,N-diethyl-4-(1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)benzamide fluorophore. JZX exhibited a large Stokes shift (230 nm), high energy transfer efficiency, wide emission channel gap (135 nm) and excellent stability and biocompatibility. JZX detected sulfur dioxide with low detection limit (55 nM), fast responding (16 min), high selectivity and sensitivity. Additionally, JZX tend to target endoplasmic reticulum of which normal metabolism will be disturbed by the abnormal levels of viscosity and sulfur dioxide derivatives. Prominently, JZX could concurrently detect viscosity and sulfur dioxide derivatives depending on different fluorescence signals in living cells for the screening of cancer cells. Hence, probe JZX will be a promising candidate for the detection of viscosity and sulfur dioxide derivatives, and even for the diagnosis of liver cancers.

Abstract
Due to the serious harm of depression to human health and quality of life, an accurate diagnosis of depression is warranted. For the complex etiology of depression, a single biomarker diagnostic method often leads to misdiagnosis. As noradrenaline and HClO are closely related to depression, a "dual-locked" fluorescence probe R-NE-HClO for diagnosing of depression through the simultaneous detection of noradrenaline and HClO was designed and synthesized. Fluorescence of R-NE-HClO can only be restored in the presence of both noradrenaline and HClO. The probe demonstrates excellent selectivity for noradrenaline and HClO and low cytotoxicity in cell imaging experiments. It is to be observed that we successfully applied the probe to accurately detect depressed cells which provides a possible tool for diagnosing depression.

Abstract
Quaternary N-aryl-DABCO salts were introduced for the first time as a highly selective sensing platform for thiols and selenols. By employing this platform, a highly sensitive coumarin based "off-on" fluorescent probe was designed and synthesized. The probe possesses a good solubility in water, low background fluorescence, and, most importantly, demonstrates high selectivity to aryl thiols and selenols over their aliphatic counterparts and other common nucleophiles. A dramatic increase in fluorescence intensity is achieved through the selective cleavage of the quaternized DABCO-ring, yielding a piperazine derivatives with a high fluorescence quantum yield (~72 %). Moreover, stability of the probe to the most used reducing agents DTT and TCEP was demonstrated. The limits of detection for p-thiocresol and phenyl selenide were evaluated to be 22 nM and 6 nM, respectively.

Abstract
Organic fluorescent materials (OFMs) play a crucial role in the development of biosensors, enabling the extraction of biochemical information within cells and organisms, extending to the human body. Concurrently, OFM biosensors contribute significantly to the progress of modern medical and biological research. However, the practical applications of OFM biosensors face challenges, including issues related to low resolution, dispersivity, and stability. To overcome these challenges, scientists have introduced interactive elements to enhance the order of OFMs. Highly-ordered assembled OFMs represent a novel material type applied to biosensors. In comparison to conventional fluorescent materials, highly-ordered assembled OFMs typically exhibit robust anti-diffusion properties, high imaging contrast, and excellent stability. This approach has emerged as a promising method for effectively tracking bio-signals, particularly in the non-invasive monitoring of chronic diseases. This review introduces several highly-ordered assembled OFMs used in biosensors and also discusses various interactions that are responsible for their assembly, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, dipole-dipole interaction, and ion electrostatic interaction. Furthermore, it delves into the various applications of these biosensors while addressing the drawbacks that currently limit their commercial application. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for designing high-performance, highly-ordered assembled OFM biosensors suitable for practical applications. Additionally, it sheds light on the evolving trends in OFM biosensors and their application fields, offering valuable insights into the future of this dynamic research area.

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
In this work, by capitalizing on the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods, it has been systematically studied that the excited state double intramolecular proton transfer (ESDPT) process and the photophysical properties of 1,8-dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (DHNA) are affected by the distinct external electric fields (EEFs). The obtained intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) parameters containing bond lengths and angles, as well as infrared (IR) vibrational spectra demonstrate that IHB strength changes in the distinct EEFs. Moreover, not only do the potential energy surfaces (PESs) indicate that the ESDPT process of DHNA is stepwise, but also increasing the positive EEF results in a decrease in the energy barrier accordingly, while vice versa. The absorption and fluorescence spectra also undergo a corresponding red or blue shift in the EEF; for instance, when the EEF changes from +10 × 10-4 a.u. to +20 × 10-4 a.u., the fluorescence peak undergoes a blue shift from 602 nm to 513 nm in the keto2 form. In a nutshell, the ESDPT process of DHNA can be influenced by the EEF, which will serve as a reference in regulating and controlling proton transfer that causes luminescence.

Abstract
Cadmium-contaminated water and food are seriously hazardous to the human health, especially liver injury. To understand the entanglement relationship between cadmium ion (Cd2+)-induced liver injury and the biomarker sulfur dioxide (SO2), a reliable bioanalytical tool is urgently needed, detecting SO2 to diagnose and evaluate the extent of liver injury in vivo. Herein, based on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, a novel SO2-tunable NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe (SMP) was developed, it was used to diagnose and treat liver injury induced by Cd2+ in biosystems. Specifically, it was constructed by conjugating a NIR dicyanoisophorone with a NIR benzopyranate as the donor and acceptor, respectively, and the ratiometric response of SO2- regulated by the Michael addition reaction. In addition, SMP exhibits rapid reaction time (<15 s), two well-resolved emission peaks (68 nm) with less cross-talk between channels for high imaging resolution, superior selectivity, and low limit of detection (LOD=80.3 nM) for SO2 detection. Impressively, SMP has been successfully used for intracellular ratiometric imaging of Cd2+-induced SO2 and diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation in liver injury mice models with satisfactory results. Therefore, SMP may provide a powerful molecular tool for revealing the occurrence and development relationship between SO2 and Cd2+-induced liver injury. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Cadmium ions are one of the well-known toxic environmental pollutants, which are enriched in the human body through inhalation of cadmium-contaminated air or from the food chain, leading to damage in various organs, especially liver injury. Therefore, we developed a novel fluorescent probe that can specifically detect SO2 in Cd2+-induced liver injury, which is critically important for the diagnosis and evaluation of Cd2+-induced liver injury diseases. The specific detection of SO2 of this probe has been successfully demonstrated in live HepG2 cells and Cd2+-induced liver injury mice.

Abstract
Inflammation has been confirmed to be closely related to the development of tumors, while peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is one of the most powerful oxidative pro-inflammatory factors. Although ONOO- can kill bacteria through oxidation, it will activate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), accelerate the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and subsequently lead to the activation and release of other tumor promotion factors existing in the ECM, promoting tumor metastasis and invasion. Herein, we report a simple aggregation-induced emission (AIE) nanoprobe (NP), TPE-4NMB, that can simultaneously visualize and deplete ONOO-. The probe can light up the endogenous and exogenous ONOO- in cells and selectively inhibit the proliferation and migration of 4T1 cells by inducing an intracellular redox homeostasis imbalance through ONOO- depletion. After being modified with DSPE-PEG2000, the TPE-4NMB NPs can be used to image ONOO- induced by various models in vivo; especially, it can monitor the dynamic changes of ONOO- level in the residual tumor after surgery, which can provide evidence for clarifying the association between surgery, ONOO-, and cancer metastasis. Excitingly, inhibited tumor volume growth and decreased counts of lung metastases were observed in the TPE-4NMB NPs group, which can be attributed to the downregulated expression of MMP-9 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), increased cell apoptosis, and inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mediated by ONOO-. The results will provide new evidence for clarifying the relationship between surgery, ONOO-, and tumor metastasis and serve as a new intervention strategy for preventing tumor metastasis after tumor resection.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin found in various food items, possesses significant health risks due to its carcinogenic and toxic properties. Thus, detecting OTA is crucial to ensure food safety. Among the reported analytical methods, there has yet to be one that achieves fast, selective, and portable detection of OTA. In this study, we explore a novel supramolecular sensor, DOCE@ALB, utilizing human serum albumin as the host and a flavonoid fluorescent indicator as the guest. On the basis of indicator displacement assay, this sensor boasts an ultra-fast response time of just 5 s, high sensitivity with a limit of detection at 0.39 ppb, exceptional selectivity, and a noticeable ratiometric fluorescence response to OTA. This discernible color change and portability of the sensor make it suitable for on-site OTA detection in real food samples, including flour, beer, and wine, simply using a smartphone. In comparison to previously reported methods, our approach has showcased notable advantages in both response time and portability, addressing a critical need for food safety and regulatory compliance.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising approach to overcome drug tolerance and resistance to biofilm but is limited by its short excitation wavelengths and low yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, we develop a compelling degradable polymer-based near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) photosensitizer (PNIR-II), which can maintain 50 % PDT efficacy even under a 2.6 cm tissue barrier. Remarkably, PNIR-II is synthesized by alternately connecting the electron donor thiophene to the electron acceptors diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), where the intramolecular charge transfer properties can be tuned to increase the intersystem crossover rate and decrease the internal conversion rate, thereby stabilizing the NIR-II photodynamic rather than photothermal effect. For exerting a combination therapy to eradicate multidrug-resistant biofilms, PNIR-II is further assembled into nanoparticles (NPs) with a synthetic glutathione-triggered NO donor polymer. Under 1064 nm laser radiation, NPs precisely release ROS and NO that triggered by over-expressed GSH in the biofilm microenvironment, thereby forming more bactericidal reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in vitro and in vivo in the mice model that orderly destroy biofilm of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus cultures from clinical patients. It thus provides a new outlook for destroy the biofilm of deep tissues.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), as a short-term reactive biological oxidant, could lead to a series of effects in various physiological and pathological processes due to its subtle concentration changes. In vivo monitoring of ONOO- and relevant physiological processes is urgently required. Herein, we describe a novel fluorescent probe termed HBT-Fl-BnB for the ratiometric detection of ONOO- in vitro and in vivo. The probe consists of an HBT core with Fl groups at the ortho and para positions responding to the zwitterionic excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer (zwitterionic ESIPT) process and a boronic acid pinacol ester with dual roles that block the zwitterionic ESIPT and recognize ONOO-. Thanks to the specificity as well as low cytotoxicity, success in imaging of endogenous and exogenous ONOO- in living cells by HBT-Fl-BnB was obtained. Additionally, the applicability of HBT-Fl-BnB to tracking the abnormal expression of ONOO- in vivo induced by inactivated Escherichia coli was also explored. This is the first report of a fluorescent probe for ONOO- sensing via a zwitterionic ESIPT mechanism.

Abstract
The link between inflammation and the evolution of cancer is well established. Visualizing and tracking both tumor proliferation and the associated inflammatory response within a living organism are vital for dissecting the nexus between these two processes and for crafting precise treatment modalities. We report the creation and synthesis of an advanced NIR chemiluminescence probe that stands out for its exceptional selectivity, extraordinary sensitivity at nanomolar concentrations, swift detection capabilities, and broad application prospects. Crucially, this probe has been successfully utilized to image endogenous ONOO- across different inflammation models, including abdominal inflammation triggered by LPS, subcutaneous inflammatory conditions, and tumors grafted onto mice. These findings highlight the significant promise of chemiluminescence imaging in enhancing our grasp of the intricate interplay between cancer and inflammation and in steering the development of potent, targeted therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The generation and presence of excessive hypochlorous acid derivative ionic form (ClO-) could cause various diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, DNA damage, and cardiovascular illness. It is a critical need to develop a highly sensitive sensor for reliable detection of ClO- in cells and water-soluble systems. In this work, a hydroxyl group has been introduced into the compound 2-amino-3-(((E)-4-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-6-yl)benzylidene)amino)maleonitrile (NDC) to increase its solubility in water, at the same time, the hydrazone unit was designed as a specific recognition group for the "off-on" fluorescence probe of ClO-. The probe NDC presents high selectivity, sensitivity, anti-interference, and low detection limit (67 nM) for ClO-. The recognition mechanism that ClO- breaks the C=N bond and forms the fluorescent compound 4-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-6-yl)benzaldehyde (ND-3) has been confirmed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The probe NDC presents a good performance in the actual test of water samples and can be designed as the test papers for the quick and convenient detection of ClO- range from 0 to 1 μM. Moreover, the practical application was demonstrated by the successful imaging of endogenous and exogenous ClO- in HeLa cells. Our fluorescent biomass-based platform opens vast possibilities for repeatability, sensitivity, and selectivity detection of ClO- in cells and water-soluble systems.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as an endogenous signaling molecule, plays an irreplaceable role in many important physiological activities. It is also closely related to sewage treatment, wine quality evaluation, and food spoilage. Herein, we have successfully synthesized a novel polymer-based probe P1 for fluorescently ratiometric sensing of H2S with a high selectivity and sensitivity. By virtue of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), P1 was prepared with the disulfide bond linked coumarin-norbornene dyad NB-SS-COU as energy donor, the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophore anchored norbornene NB-TPE as energy receptor, and the polyethylene glycol (PEG) attached norbornene NB-PEG as a hydrophilic chain. At the 400 nm excitation, P1 displays a bright red emission at 615 nm due to the efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from energy donor COU to energy acceptor TPE. Upon addition of H2S, it shows strong COU-based blue emission at 473 nm for cleavage of the disulfide bond. We also constructed a smartphone sensing platform to conduct visual quantitative detection of H2S by calculating the B/R (blue/red) emission ratio values. Moreover, P1 can be successfully employed in evaluating the level fluctuations of endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells, testing water samples/wine samples, and monitoring food freshness.

Abstract
The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect has been demonstrated to have great potential application in different areas, from organic electronics to biomedical research and physical process monitoring. In general, molecules with AIE characteristic exhibit fluorescence enhancement in the aggregated state by restricting intramolecular motion consumption. The combination of AIE and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) is meaningful for promoting luminescence. Recently, HBT-H-H molecule, as a derivative of 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), has drawn extensive attention from researchers. The molecule possesses the intramolecular hydrogen bonding structure which has the potential for ESIPT. Moreover, the fluorescence quantum yield of HBT-H-H in the aggregation state is 35 times higher than that in Toluene. However, the interplay between excited state dynamics and the AIE effect for this molecule is not clear. Especially, how does AIE effect beat non-radiative transition channel by affecting motions of molecular structure. Herein, we investigated the excited state dynamics of HBT-H-H molecule by the spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory and QM/MM method. We found that the molecule relaxes to the conical intersection region through the twisting motion of the benzothiazole group in Toluene solvent. While the AIE effect effectively inhibits this process by preventing the torsion of benzothiazole group, which induces the emission enhancement. The interplay between the excited-state dynamics and AIE effect for the HBT-H-H molecule delineated in this work not only benefits the deep understanding of molecular behavior to the aggregate level, but also provides a guide for the synthesis of AIE materials with favorable performance.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a gas transporter and cell protector and plays a role in a number of disorders and signaling processes. Given that the half-life of H2S in biological systems is between seconds and minutes, the development of rapid and accurate technologies for reliable monitoring H2S levels and dynamics in organisms is critical. However, it is still difficult to design innovative near-infrared fluorescent probes that can quickly and accurately detect H2S. Here, we constructed a novel NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe based on the "aldehyde group auxiliary strategy", Cy-H2S, for the quantitative detection and precise imaging of H2S in living cells and zebrafish. Cy-H2S responded quickly (150 s) and was highly sensitive (0.179 μM) to H2S donor. Cy-H2S was further successfully employed to track endogenous H2S fluctuation in HCT116 cells and zebrafish and evaluated the release efficiency of the H2S prodrug in a NIR ratiometric imaging way. Cy-H2S has the potential to be used as a reliable indication of H2S levels in living cells and zebrafish, as well as an innovative and practical instrument for furthering the physiological research of H2S, which will encourage the creation of advanced NIR ratiometric probes for a variety of biological applications.

Abstract
Mitochondrial fission is a highly regulated process that can affect metabolism, proliferation, and apoptosis. Division at the periphery enables damaged material to be shed into smaller mitochondria destined for mitophagy, which is found preceded by increased Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species, as well as reduced membrane potential and pH. However, the variation of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) during the peripheral fission has not been well studied, and the existing fluorescent probes are unsuitable for detecting mitochondrial HOCl because of the 0.8-fold decreased pH during this process. Herein, we design a novel CCS (changeable π-conjugation system)-based probe (ON-mito) with a dibenzo[1,4]oxazepine core, which can selectively react with HOCl at pH 6.4, generating an oxazine-containing product that emits at 660 nm. The capability of ON-mito for imaging the HOCl generation in HeLa cells during mitophagy is demonstrated under weakly acidic condition. Further, with ON-mito, we find for the first time a burst increase of the mitochondrial HOCl in COS-7 cells during peripheral fission, which may serve as an important indicator of this process. Probe ON-mito may be useful for studying mitochondrial damage under diverse conditions.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and glutathione (GSH) play mutually regulating roles in the oxidant-antioxidant balance of organisms, which has a profound relationship with people's health and disease. In this study, we designed a two-photon fluorescent probe CD-NA that could simultaneously detect ONOO- and GSH via dual-fluorophore and dual-site properties. CD-NA shows different fluorescence responses to ONOO- (annihilated red fluorescence) and GSH (enhanced green emission) with high specificity and sensitivity. Notably, the response of CD-NA to ONOO- was unaffected by GSH, and the reverse is also true. It allows the ONOO-/GSH cross-talk to be successfully imaged. Given these excellent properties, CD-NA has been favorably employed in detecting ONOO- and GSH in living cells with the ability to target mitochondria. Therefore, CD-NA offers an efficient method for understanding the oxidant-antioxidant balance and interrelated physiological functions of ONOO- and GSH in living systems, and provides a new strategy to sort out the complex relationships and roles of various analytes in complex physiological processes.

Abstract
For the efficient detection of Hg2+ and ClO-, a double-analyte-responsive fluorescent probe PTB was successfully synthesized by combining N-butyl-3-formyl phenothiazine with hydrazine benzothiazole, and designing a specific reaction site for recognizing two analytes (Hg2+ and ClO-) in a compound. It was shown that probe PTB successfully formed a stable complex with Hg2+ in the coordination ratio of 2:1 by using the strong sulfur affinity of Hg2+, which resulted in a remarkable "turn-off" effect, with a quenching efficiency of 92.5% and four reversible cycles of Hg2+ fluorescence detection. For the fluorescence detection of Hg2+, the response time is fast (≤ 2 min) and the detection limit is low (7.8 nM), showing extremely high sensitivity, and the performance is obviously better than that of the reported fluorescent probes for detecting Hg2+. In particular, probe PTB has low toxicity and good biocompatibility, and has been successfully used for imaging of Hg2+ in living cells. Moreover, probe PTB uses thioether bond and carbon-nitrogen double bond as reaction sites to detect ClO-, which has large Stokes Shift (149 nm), good selectivity, high quenching efficiency (96.5%) and fast time response (about 10 s), and successfully detects ClO- in actual water samples. The dual functional fluorescent probe PTB is sensitive for Hg2+ and ClO-. It has been successfully used for making pH fluorescent test paper and imaging detection of exogenous Hg2+ in VSMC cells with low toxicity.

Abstract
An ultrasimple "turn-on" sensor for indirectly detecting ascorbic acid (AA) was prepared using N-acetyl-L-cysteine stabilized copper nanoclusters (NAC-CuNCs) via the AIE (aggregation-induced emission) effect controlled by Ce4+/Ce3+ redox reaction. This sensor fully utilizes the different properties of Ce4+ and Ce3+. Non-emissive NAC-CuNCs were synthesized by a facile reduction method. NAC-CuNCs easily aggregate in the presence of Ce3+ due to AIE, resulting in fluorescence enhancement. However, this phenomenon cannot be observed in the presence of Ce4+. Ce4+ possesses strong oxidizing ability and produces Ce3+ by reacting with AA via a redox reaction, followed by switching on the luminescence of NAC-CuNCs. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity (FI) of NAC-CuNCs increases with the concentration of AA in the range of 4-60 µM, with the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.26 µM. This probe with excellent sensitivity and selectivity was successfully used in the determination of AA in soft drinks.

[PMID: 37480806 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
Biothiols (GSH, Hcy, Cys) are important active sulfur substances in biological systems and widely participate in various physiological processes. The three kinds of biothiols have similar chemical structures, including the sulfhydryl group (-SH) and an amino group (-NH2), so distinguishing two or more of them simultaneously is an important challenge. Herein, a nopinone-based fluorescent probe 3-(3-((4-nitrobenzoxadiazole vinyl) nopinyl difluoride (NF-NBD) was designed to distinguish GSH and Hcy/Cys by generating different fluorescence channels with a single excitation wavelength. The nitrobenzodioxazole (NBD) was introduced in the fluorescent probe by ether bounds that can quench fluorescence and selectively discriminate GSH and Hcy/Cys. After reacting with GSH and Hcy/Cys, NF-NBD exhibited strong fluorescence (green for GSH and yellow for Hcy/Cys). NF-NBD displayed a wide linear range, low detection limit, a rapid response time, and superior selectivity for biothiols. Furthermore, NF-NBD was applied to image and distinguish different biothiols in living cells and zebrafish via different fluorescence signals at a single excitation wavelength.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), an endogenous reactive nitrogen species, plays an important role in maintaining intracellular homeostasis. Abnormal levels of ONOO- in cells could cause protein oxidation which is confirmed that related with Alzheimer's diseases, so accurate monitoring of ONOO- in cells is crucial. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe (XPC) based on dicyanomethylene-4H-benzothiopyran was developed by regulating its intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect to detect ONOO-. Once reaction with ONOO-, the fluorescence of XPC was turned on and the emission wavelength could reach up to 750 nm. Furthermore, XPC exhibited satisfactory performances for ONOO- such as large Stokes shift (200 nm), good sensitivity (Limit of detection = 13 nM), high selectivity to ONOO- over other a reactive nitrogen species (RNS)/reactive oxygen species (ROS). More importantly, XPC was successfully applied for monitoring the fluctuations of ONOO- in living cells.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4) is an important industrial raw material that has been widely used in industrial production and agricultural interventions, but its widespread application also inevitably causes environmental pollution. In this study, based on resorufin, we constructed a novel "turn-on" fluorescent probe RFT for the selective detection of hydrazine under complex environmental conditions and in vivo. The probe RFT exhibited excellent stability and selectivity towards the detection of hydrazine with a low detection limit of 260 nM. In addition, RFT was successfully applied to the detection of hydrazine in environmental water samples and living cells. Most importantly, RFT could not only detect the exogenous hydrazine in zebrafish and mice, but also image and visualize the up-regulation of endogenous hydrazine induced by isoniazid in zebrafish.

Abstract
The creation of new functional molecules is a central task in chemical synthesis. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new type of fluorophore, bisbenzo[f]isoindolylidenes, from easily accessible dipropargyl benzenesulfonamides. Wavelength-tunable fluorophores emitting strong fluorescence of green to red light were obtained in this reaction. Late-stage modifications and incorporation of bioactive molecules into these fluorophores give rise to potential applications in biological studies. Detailed computational and experimental studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanism, and suggest a reaction sequence involving Garratt-Braverman type cyclization, isomerization, fragmentation, dimerization and oxidation.

Abstract
A mesoporous Eu3+-doped zinc/silicate phosphor with a large surface area (>100 m2g-1) and amorphous structure was prepared in an aqueous solution without using any organic template. The residual concentration of the Zn2+ ion in the filtrate is lower than the standard of effluent 3.5 ppm under a pH 8-11 preparation condition. When a sulfide ion (S2-) is present in aqueous solution, the phosphor can react with the sulfide ion to transform from the amorphous structure to the crystalline ZnS, which causes structural transformation and a subsequent decrease in luminescent intensity. This distinct phosphor with a high surface area and amorphous structure can be applied through the structure transformation mechanism for highly selective and sensitive detection of the sulfide ions at low concentrations. In addition, the luminescent efficiency was obtained from adjustments in the pH value, calcination temperature, and Eu3+ ion concentration. The quenching efficiency, the limit of detection (CLOD), S2- ion selectivity, and phosphor regeneration ability were systematically explored in sulfide ion detection tests. Due to the novel S2- ion-induced structural transformation, we found that the amorphous Eu3+-doped zinc/silicate phosphors demonstrate a CLOD sensitivity as low as 1.8 × 10-7 M and a high Stern-Volmer constant (KSV) of 3.1 × 104 M-1. Furthermore, the phosphors were easily regenerated through simple calcination at 500 °C and showed a KSV value of 1.4 × 104 M-1. Overall, the Eu3+-doped zinc/silicates showed many advantageous properties for detecting sulfide ions, including low toxicity, green synthesis, good selectivity, high sensitivity, and good renewability.

Abstract
Inspired by structures of natural metalloenzymes, a biomimetic synthetic strategy is developed for scalable synthesis of porous Fe-N3 single atom nanozymes (pFeSAN) using hemoglobin as Fe-source and template. pFeSAN delivers 3.3- and 8791-fold higher oxidase-like activity than Fe-N4 and Fe3O4 nanozymes. The high catalytic performance is attributed to (1) the suppressed aggregation of atomically dispersed Fe; (2) facilitated mass transfer and maximized exposure of active sites for the created mesopores by thermal removal of hemoglobin (2 ~ 3 nm); and (3) unique electronic configuration of Fe-N3 for the oxygen-to-water oxidation pathway (analogy with natural cytochrome c oxidase). The pFeSAN is successfully demonstrated for the rapid colorimetric detection of glutathione with a low limit of detection (2.4 nM) and wide range (50 nM-1 mM), and further developed as a real-time, facile, rapid (~6 min) and precise visualization analysis methodology of tumors via glutathione level, showing its potentials for diagnostic and clinic applications.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), one of the important participants in protecting cells from oxidative stress, is closely associated with the occurrence and development of various diseases. Moreover, cell viscosity as a pivotal microenvironmental parameter has recently attracted increasing attention due to its dominant role in governing intracellular signal transduction and diffusion of reactive metabolites. Thus, simultaneous detection of Cys and viscosity is imperative for investigating their pathophysiological functions and cross-link. Herein we present a mitochondria-targetable dual-channel fluorescence probe ABDSP by grafting the acrylate modified pyridinium unit to dimethylaminobenzene. Whilst the probe is a seemingly simple, it could simultaneously discriminate Cys and viscosity in a fashion of distinguishable signals. Furthermore, the probe was successfully employed for visualizing mitochondrial Cys and viscosity, and probe into their cross-link during acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Norepinephrine (NE) is a key neurotransmitter in the central and sympathetic nervous systems, whose content fluctuates dynamically and rapidly in various brain regions during different physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, it remains a great challenge to directly visualize and precisely quantify the transient NE dynamics in living systems with high accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and, in particular, high temporal resolution. Herein, we developed a series of small-molecular probes that can specifically detect NE through a sequential nucleophilic substitution-cyclization reaction, accompanied by a ratiometric near-infrared fluorescence response, within an impressively short time down to 60 ms, which is 3 orders of magnitude faster than that of present small-molecular probes. A unique water-promoted intermolecular proton transfer mechanism is disclosed, which dramatically boosted the recognition kinetics by ∼680 times. Benefiting from these excellent features, we quantitatively imaged the transient endogenous NE dynamics under external stimuli at the single living neuron level and further revealed the close correlations between NE fluctuations and Parkinson's disease pathology at the level of acute brain slices and live mouse brains in vivo.

Abstract
Natural antioxidants have recently emerged as a highly exciting and significant topic in anti-aging research. Diverse organism models present a viable protocol for future research. Notably, many breakthroughs on natural antioxidants have been achieved in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, an animal model frequently utilized for the study of aging research and anti-aging drugs in vivo. Due to the conservation of signaling pathways on oxidative stress resistance, lifespan regulation, and aging disease between C. elegans and multiple high-level organisms (humans), as well as the low and controllable cost of time and labor, it gradually develops into a trustworthy in vivo model for high-throughput screening and validation of natural antioxidants with anti-aging actions. First, information and models on free radicals and aging are presented in this review. We also describe indexes, detection methods, and molecular mechanisms for studying the in vivo antioxidant and anti-aging effects of natural antioxidants using C. elegans. It includes lifespan, physiological aging processes, oxidative stress levels, antioxidant enzyme activation, and anti-aging pathways. Furthermore, oxidative stress and healthspan improvement induced by natural antioxidants in humans and C. elegans are compared, to understand the potential and limitations of the screening model in preclinical studies. Finally, we emphasize that C. elegans is a useful model for exploring more natural antioxidant resources and uncovering the mechanisms underlying aging-related risk factors and diseases.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder that devastatingly affects people's lives. Accumulating evidence indicates that the pathological progression of AD is inseparably connected with hypochlorous acid (HClO). However, further exploring the biological function remains an open challenging due to a lack of effective tools to image HClO in AD brains. To this end, a ruthenium(II) luminescence probe, Ru-HClO, is developed for quantitative detection and visualization of HClO in nerve cells and AD brains. Ru-HClO shows quenched luminescence due to the PET process (excited electron transfer from Ru(II) center to diaminomaleonitrile) and the CN bond isomerization in the excited state. The HClO-triggered specific cleavage reaction with Ru-HClO cleaves the CN bond to form highly luminescent Ru-COOH. Ru-HClO shows rapid response speed, high sensitivity and selectivity, excellent biocompatibility, which makes the probe to be applied to semi-quantitative analysis of HClO in nerve cells and high-throughput screening of anti-AD drugs in the AD cell model. Moreover, using Ru-HClO as a probe, present work further validated that the elevated levels of HClO secretion were accompanied by the AD progressed. These findings may provide valuable results for figuring out the biological roles that HClO played in AD but also for accelerating anti-AD therapeutic discovery.

A novel multi-functional fluorescent probe for dual-channel detection of SO 2 and Hg 2+ and dynamic visualization of SO 2 fluctuations in vivo upon mercury exposure. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1279:341786. [PMID: 37827682 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Although there are many drugs used for the treatment of mercury poisoning, it is remains confused that pathological symptoms associated with Hg2+-induced oxidative stress. It is reported that SO2 can be generated as the anti-oxidant, and plays an important role in maintaining redox balance in cells. There has not yet been a study to precisely track the changes in SO2 during mercury ion poisoning. We developed a novel dual-response fluorescence probe (CY-SPH) for respective or successive determination of Hg2+ and SO2 in neutral aqueous media. The nucleophilic addition of HSO3- toward CY-SPH caused a significant fluorescence enhancement at 455 nm while the Hg2+ -triggered desulfurization of CY-SPH to the final phenolic product (CY-OH) elicited a markedly enhanced emission at 760 nm, allowing for two-color visualization of Hg2+ and SO2 with good selectivity (detection limit: 67.2 nM for Hg2+ and 34.7 nM for SO2). Moreover, CY-OH could undergo further nucleophilic addition reaction with HSO3- and resulted in a decrease in emission at 760 nm and an increase in emission at 438 nm, enabling the ratiometric determination of SO2 with better sensitivity (detection limit, 3.50 nM). Significantly, CY-SPH can monitor the endogenous SO2 fluctuations upon mercury exposure by means of confocal fluorescence imaging, which may prove valuable for deciphering the relationship between SO2 levels and the mercury induced oxidative stress. We anticipated that this research will promote to understand the functions of SO2 under the oxidative stress by Hg2+.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1277:341679. [PMID: 37604615 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a significant gas signal molecule, is closely related to various physiological/pathological processes. The monitoring of H2S is crucial in understanding the occurrence and development of diseases such as cancers. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal regulation of Lipid droplets (LDs) is associated with many human diseases. For example, cancer cells are characterized by the abnormal accumulation of LDs. Therefore, understanding the relationship between LDs and cancer is of great significance for developing therapies against cancer. To address this challenge, we designed and developed a LD-targeting and H2S-activated probe (BTDA-DNB) by engineering a 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether (DNBE) as the H2S reactive site. In the presence of H2S, a strongly fluorescent emitter, 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-N,N-diethyl-2-imino-2H-chromen-7-amine (BTDA) was obtained with the leaving of DNBE group. BTDA-DNB displayed favorable sensitivity, selectivity and functioning well at physiological pH. The probe features excellent LD-targeting specificity and low cellular toxicity. The practical applications of LD-targeting probe BTDA-DNB as H2S probe in living cells, cancer tissues and Arabidopsis seedling have been evaluated. The excellent imaging performance demonstrates a potential ability for cancer diagnosis. Benefitted from the excellent performance on visual recognition H2S, a robust smartphone-integrated platform for H2S analysis was also successfully established.
