Abstract
In this study, we innovatively synthesized bipyridine ruthenium cluster nanosheets (RuMOFNCs), a novel metal-organic framework material that exhibits both fluorescence and electrochemiluminescence. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were anchored onto RuMOFNCs via bipyridine chelation, enhancing optical signals and creating sites for attaching biologically functional probes. We employed tetraferrocene-modified DNA probes, linked via gold-sulfur (Au-S) bonds, to construct a dual-mode fluorescence-electrochemiluminescence biosensor. This sensor, exploiting exonuclease III (Exo III)-mediated cyclic amplification, inhibits the electron transfer from RuMOFNC to tetraferrocene, resulting in amplified fluorescence and electrochemiluminescence signals. The sensor demonstrates exceptional sensitivity for detecting the BRAF gene, with fluorescence and electrochemiluminescence detection limits of 10.3 aM (range: 0.1 fM to 1 nM) and 3.1 aM (range: 1 aM to 10 pM), respectively. These capabilities are attributed to RuMOFNCs' luminescence properties, tetraferrocene's quenching effect, and the specificity of base pairing. This study's findings hold substantial promise for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics, particularly in precision medicine and early disease detection.

Abstract
Enantiomer recognition is usually required in organic synthesis and materials and life sciences. This paper describes an enantiomer recognition method based on ternary dynamic covalent systems constructed via the complexation of chiral amines with a chiral boronate derived from 1,4-phenylenediboric acid and an L-DOPA-modified naphthalenediimide. The ternary systems aggregate into chiral assemblies driven by π-π interactions, and the chirality is transferred from the chiral amines to assemblies with high stereospecificity. Consequently, the enantiomer composition of chiral amines and the absolute configuration of the major enantiomer can be determined according to the sign of the Cotton effect of the ternary system by using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. This method offers the advantage of using the long wavelength CD signals of the boronate at around 520 nm, thereby avoiding interference with those of the carbon skeleton. This ternary system provides a novel approach to the design of enantiomer recognition systems.

A novel fluorescent sensor with an overtone peak reference for highly sensitive detection of mercury (II) ions and hydrogen sulfide: Mechanisms and applications in environmental monitoring and bioanalysis. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342086. [PMID: 38182341 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342086] [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: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
The present study introduces a novel fluorescent sensor with an overtone peak reference designed for the detection of mercury (Ⅱ) ions (Hg2+) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The study proposes two novel response mechanisms that hinges on the synergistic effect of cation exchange dissociation (CED) and photo-induced electron transfer (PET). This sensor exhibits a remarkable detection limit of 2.9 nM for Hg2+. Additionally, the sensor reacts with H2S to generate nickel sulfide (NiS) semiconductor nanoparticles, which amplify the fluorescence signal and enable a detection limit of 3.1 nM for H2S. The detection limit for H2S is further improved to 29.1 pM through the surface functionalization of the nanomaterial with pyridine groups (increasing reactivity) and chelation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which enhances the sensor's specificity. This improvement is primarily due to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AuNPs and their affinity for H2S. The single-emission strategy can yield skewed results due to environmental changes, whereas the overtone peak reference strategy enhances result accuracy and reliability by detecting environmental interference through reference emission peaks. In another observation, the low-toxicity dihydropyrene-bipyridine nanorods (TPP-BPY) has been successfully utilized for both endogenous and exogenous H2S detection in vivo using a mouse model. The successful development of TPP-BPY is expected to provide an effective tool for studying the role of H2S in biomedical systems.

Abstract
It is of great importance to have sensitive and accurate detection of cis-diol-containing biologically related substances because of their important functions in the research fields of metabolomics, glycomics, and proteomics. Boronic acids can specifically and reversibly interact with 1,2- or 1,3-diols to form five or six cyclic esters. Based on this unique property, boronic acid-based materials have been used as synthetic receptors for the specific recognition and detection of cis-diol-containing species. This review critically summarizes the recent advances with boronic acid-based materials as recognition elements and signal labels for the detection of cis-diol-containing biological species, including ribonucleic acids, glycans, glycoproteins, bacteria, exosomes, and tumor cells. We also address the challenges and future perspectives for developing versatile boronic acid-based materials with various promising applications.

Highly-tumor-targeted PAD4 inhibitors with PBA modification inhibit tumors in vivo by specifically inhibiting the PAD4-H3cit-NETs pathway in neutrophils. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 258:115619.

Abstract
As a new target for tumor therapy, PAD4 protein, shows excellent antitumor activity, and phenylboronic acid (PBA) could combine with sialic acid on the tumor surface to achieve dual targeting in situ and for metastatic tumors. The purpose of this study was therefore to modify PAD4 protein inhibitors with different phenylboronic acid groups in order to obtain highly-targeted PAD4 inhibitors. The activity and mechanism of these PBA-PAD4 inhibitors were studied in vitro by MTT assay, laser confocal analysis, and flow cytometry. The effects of the compounds on primary tumor and lung metastasis in mice were evaluated in vivo using a S180 sarcoma model and a 4T1 breast cancer model. In addition, cytometry mass (CyTOF) was used to analyze the immune microenvironment, and the results show that the PAD4 inhibitor 5i modified by m-PBA at the carboxyl terminal of ornithine skeleton had the best antitumor activity. In vitro evaluation of this activity revealed that 5i could not directly kill tumor cells but had a significant inhibitory effect on tumor cell metastasis. Further mechanism studies showed that 5i could be taken up by 4T1 cells in a time-dependent manner and distributed around the cell membrane but could not be taken up by normal cells. In addition, although 5i was distributed in the cytoplasm of tumor cells while in the nucleus of neutrophils, it could both decrease the histone 3 citrullination (H3cit) in the nucleus. In vivo 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse models, 5i inhibited breast cancer growth and metastasis in a concentration-dependent manner, and NET formation in tumor tissues was significantly reduced. In conclusion, PBA-PAD4 inhibitors show high targeting of tumor cells and good safety in vivo. By specifically inhibiting PAD4 protein in the neutrophil nucleus, PBA-PAD4 inhibitors also show excellent antitumor activity toward growth and metastasis in vivo, which provides a new idea for the design of highly-targeted PAD4 inhibitors.

Abstract
To explore the potential of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) in combined photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), we engineered the surface of SiQDs with the photosensitizer Ce6 and the tumor-cell-targeting ligand phenylboronic acid (PBA) via polydopamine-mediated chemistry. Upon irradiation with light of specific wavelengths, SiQDs@Ce6/PBA could generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and trigger effective photo-to-thermal conversion. PBA-conjugation could not only increase the cellular uptake and transcellular transport capability of nanoparticles, but also enhance their tumor accumulation. In the presence of a 635 nm laser, SiQDs@Ce6/PBA was able to trigger intracellular ROS production, which further altered the mitochondrial membrane potential and promoted apoptosis of tumor cells. Finally, combined PDT/PTT treatments led to synergistically enhanced cancer cell killing and tumor-growth inhibition effects. This study demonstrates the surface engineering of silicon quantum dots for synergistic PDT/PTT cancer therapy.

Abstract
Bioactive flavonoids, the major ingredients of red wines, have been proven to prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity. However, flavonoids have proven challenging to identify, even when multiple approaches are combined. Hereby, a simple array was constructed to detect flavonoids by employing phenylboronic acid modified perylene diimide derivatives (PDIs). Through multiple non-specific interactions (hydrophilic, hydrophobic, charged, aromatic, hydrogen-bonded and reversible covalent interactions) with flavonoids, the fluorescence of PDIs can be modulated, and variations in intensity can be used to create fingerprints of flavonoids. This array successfully discriminated 14 flavonoids of diverse structures and concentrations with 100% accuracy, based on patterns in fluorescence intensity modulation, via optimized machine learning algorithms. As a result, this array demonstrated the parallel detection of 8 different types and origins of red wines with a high accuracy, revealing the excellent potential of the sensor array in food mixtures detection.

Abstract
The applications of fluorescence imaging in tumor detection and assistance in tumor resection have become progressively more widespread. Biocompatible fluorescent nanoparticles with high sensitivity and selectivity are a challenge for biological fluorescence imaging. Ligand-mediated targeting of nanoparticles to tumors is an appealing tactic for improving imaging efficiency. Herein, tetraphenyl ethylene (TPE) and phenylboronic acid (PBA) were introduced into polyurethane to synthesize a PU-TPE-PBA (PTP) fluorescent emulsion with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) for targeted tumor imaging. The PTP emulsion with a size of less than 50 nm shows excellent stability and high fluorescence sensitivity (extremely low TPE concentrations of 0.31 μg mL-1). Since PBA can selectively recognize and bind to sialic acid (SA) which is widely overexpressed in tumor cells, such PTP nanoparticles can be enriched in tumors and retained for longer periods due to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) as well as active targeting effects. In addition, the PTP emulsion exhibits good biocompatibility and biosafety. Therefore, the novel PTP emulsion is promising for tumor cell imaging.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a unique research topic and property that can lead to a wide range of applications, including cellular imaging, theranostics, analyte quantitation and the specific detection of biologically important species. Towards the development of the AIE-active materials, many aromatic moieties composed of tetraphenylethylene, anthracene, pyrene, etc., have been developed. Among these aromatic moieties, pyrene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a polycyclic flat structure containing four fused benzene rings to provide an unusual electron delocalization feature that is important in the AIE property. Numerous pyrene-based AIE-active materials have been reported with the AIE property towards sensing, imaging and theranostics applications. Most importantly, these AIE-active pyrene moieties exist as small molecules, Schiff bases, polymers, supramolecules, metal-organic frameworks, etc. This comprehensive review outlines utilizations of AIE-active pyrene-based materials on the imaging and theranostics studies. Moreover, the design and synthesis of these pyrene-based molecules are delivered with discussions on their future scopes.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoplatforms with accurate diagnosis and effective therapy show a bright prospect for tumor treatments. Herein, a novel boracic acid-modified graphite carbon nitride and Prussian blue nanohybrid (PB@B-g-C3N4) was developed, which provides sialic acid-targeted Raman recognition and synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy in the near-infrared region. Owing to the specific interaction between boracic acid and sialic acid and Raman response at 2157 cm-1 of PB, the nanohybrids exhibit high specificity and Raman sensitivity for detection of the overexpressed sialic acid on tumor cells. Moreover, the photothermal conversion efficiency of PB@B-g-C3N4 is as high as 47.0% with 808 nm laser irradiation due to the enhanced absorbance of PB@B-g-C3N4. PB@B-g-C3N4 also possesses excellent photodynamic activity, which is attributed to the energy transfer of PB (type I) and electron transfer between PB and B-g-C3N4 (type II). This nanotheranostic agent for Raman recognition of cancer markers and synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy holds great potential for the development of efficient theranostic nanoplatforms.

Abstract
The construction of organelle-targeting nanomaterials is an effective way to improve tumor imaging and treatment. Here, a new type of composite nanomaterial named as PTTPB is developed. PTTPB is composed of organelle-targeting aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer TTPB and polydopamine nanomaterials. With the functional modification of TTPB, PTTPB can recognize sialic acid on the cell membrane and present mitochondrial targeted capabilities. The intake of PTTPB in cancerous cells can be increased by the recognition process of cell membrane. PTTPB can generate singlet oxygen for photodynamic therapy (PDT), and present good photothermal conversion ability with irradiation. The PTTPB with organelle-targeting imaging-guided can realize the tumor ablation with the synergistic effect of PDT and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Various functional chemical materials have been widely used in imaging and tumor therapy. Targeted ligands such as antibodies, peptides, and small molecules have been combined with functional materials to enhance cellular uptake and are used for active targeting of cancer cells and tumors. Among them, phenylboronic acid (PBA), as a small molecular ligand, has the characteristics of low cytotoxicity and easy modification. PBA improves the cancer cell imaging and tumor treatment effect by binding to glycans on the surface of cancer cells. In this Mini-Review, we introduced the modification strategy and targeting strategy of PBA. We focused on the applications of PBA-based functional materials in fluorescence imaging and tumor therapy. For fluorescence imaging, the potential of PBA-based functional chemical materials in cancer diagnosis and tumor targeting was proved by cell imaging and in vivo imaging. For tumor therapy, we mainly discussed the applications of PBA-based functional chemical materials in chemotherapy, gene therapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy. PBA-based functional chemical materials provide a useful method for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
