Abstract
The reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in lysosomes play a major role during the regulation of lysosomal microenvironment. Nitroxyl (HNO) belongs to active nitrogen species (RNS) and is becoming a potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker. However, the complex synthesis routes of HNO in biosystem always hinder the exact determination of HNO in living cells. Here, a rhodamine-based fluorescent probe used to determine nitroxyl (HNO) in lysosomes was constructed and synthesized. 2-(Diphenylphosphino)benzoate was utilized as the sensing unit for HNO and morpholine was chose as the targeting group for lysosome. Before the addition of HNO, the probe displayed a spirolactone structure and almost no fluorescence was found. After the addition of HNO, the probe existed as a conjugated xanthene form and an intense green fluorescence was observed. The fluorescent probe possessed fast response (3 min) and high selectivity for HNO. Furthermore, fluorescence intensity of the probe linearly related with the HNO concentration in the range of 6.0 × 10-8 to 6.0 × 10-5 mol L-1. The detection limit was found to be 1.87 × 10-8 mol L-1 for HNO. Moreover, the probe could selectively targeted lysosome with excellent biocompatibility and had been effectually utilized to recognize exogenous HNO in A549 cells.

Abstract
Liver injury significantly affects a patient's health and quality of life. However, timely and convenient diagnosis of this disease via whole blood detection remains challenging due to the lack of user-friendly and fast readout blood test methods. Herein, we developed such a method for the swift auxiliary diagnosis of liver injury via whole blood detection using a customed point-of-care testing (POCT) system consisting of a biothiols-activatable chemiluminescent probe and a hand-held POCT device. Biothiols served as the target to build the activable chemiluminescence probe due to their abnormal level in liver injury. Compared with fluorescent and electrical POCTs, this method is more convenient and has strong universality. By incorporating cyclodextrin via host-guest chemistry, we intensified chemiluminescence while mitigating chemical hemolysis caused by the dissolution of organic molecules, making this system suitable for whole blood analysis. Preliminary assessments in aqueous solutions, living cells, and mouse models confirmed its sensitivity, reliability, and feasibility. Simply mixing blood with the probe for 30 min yielded a clear signal readout within 15 s on the POCT device. Utilizing this portable detector, the reduced biothiol level was tested in 18 liver injury patient blood samples, and the results were similar to those measured by a commercial kit and in vivo imaging system. Thus, this work provides a universal platform for the fast and convenient detection of other biomarkers in whole blood samples and opens up possibilities for the rapid clinical diagnosis of diseases, enabling patients to conduct home self-examinations with ease.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is an essential organelle constructed by the stacking of flattened vesicles, that is widely distributed in eukaryotic cells and is dynamically regulated during cell cycles. It is a central station which is responsible for collecting, processing, sorting, transporting, and secreting some important proteins/enzymes from the endoplasmic reticulum to intra- and extra-cellular destinations. Golgi-specific fluorescent probes provide powerful non-invasive tools for the real-time and in situ visualization of the temporal and spatial fluctuations of bioactive species. Over recent years, more and more Golgi-targeting probes have been developed, which are essential for the evaluation of diseases including cancer. However, when compared with systems that target other important organelles (e.g. lysosomes and mitochondria), Golgi-targeting strategies are still in their infancy, therefore it is important to develop more Golgi-targeting probes. This review systematically summarizes the currently reported Golgi-specific fluorescent probes, and highlights the design strategies, mechanisms, and biological uses of these probes, we have structured the review based on the different targeting groups. In addition, we highlight the future challenges and opportunities in the development of Golgi-specific imaging agents and therapeutic systems.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) plays a vital role in various biological functions and pharmacological activities, so the development of an excellent near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) dual-modality probe is crucial for understanding HNO-related physiological and pathological progression. Herein, we proposed and synthesized a novel NIRF/PA dual probe (QL-HNO) by substituting an indole with quinolinium in hemicyanine for the sensitive detection of exogenous and endogenous HNO in vivo. The designed probe showed the highest sensitivity in NIRF mode and a desirable PA signal-to-noise ratio for HNO detection in vitro and was further applied for NIRF/PA dual-modal imaging of HNO with high contrast in living cells and tumor-bearing animals. Based on the excellent performance of QL-HNO, we believe that this study provides a promising molecular tool for further understanding of HNO-related physiological and pathological progression.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cell organelles sustain the life of cells. Their structural changes and dysfunctions can cause abnormal physiological activities and lead to various diseases. Molecular imaging technology enables the visualization of subcellular structures, cells, organs, and the whole living body's structure and metabolism dynamic changes. This could help to reveal the pharmacology mechanisms and drug delivery pathway in vivo. This article discusses the relationship between organelles and human disease, reviews recent probes targeting organelles and their behavior in vivo. We found that mitochondria-targeting probes prefer accumulation in the intestine, heart, and tumor. The lysosome-targeting probe accumulates in the intestine and tumor. Few studies on endoplasmic reticulum- or Golgi apparatus-targeting probes have been reported for in vivo imaging. We hope this review could provide new insights for developing and applying organelle-targeting probes.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) can severely impair liver function and has a potential relationship with reactive nitrogen species. Nitroxyl (HNO) has been discovered to be involved in some biological functions and pharmacological activities. However, till now, there has been no knowledge of the role of HNO in the HIRI process, mainly because accurately tracking its fluctuation at the molecular level in vivo is extremely difficult. Herein, we developed a responsive ratiometric near-infrared-II (NIR-II) nanoprobe with rare earth ions-doped nanoparticles (RENPs) as the luminophore and a molecular trigger that can specifically react with HNO to regulate the NIR-II emission of RENPs. With this nanoprobe, we revealed the relationship between HNO and the HIRI process and demonstrated that HNO may be a product of stress reactions during HIRI. This work not only creates a useful tool for visually tracking HNO in vivo but also provides first-hand information about its role in HIRI.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are considered to play important effects in the administration of many pathological processes of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the intricate relationship between the neurotoxicity of HNO and ER stress in the processes of PD is still unknown. To completely comprehend the pathogenic activity of HNO during ER stress and achieve early diagnosis of PD, developing sensitive tools for HNO sensing in vivo is essential. In this work, a two-photon fluorescent probe (KD-HNO) was developed with highly selective and sensitive (7.93 nM) response for HNO in vitro. Then, utilizing KD-HNO, we found that HNO levels were distinctly increased in tunicamycin-stimulated PC12 cells, which are characterized by ER stress and PD features. Most importantly, we detected a considerable increase in HNO levels in the brains of PD-model mice, indicating a positive correlation between PD and HNO levels for the first time. Collectively, these findings revealed that KD-HNO is an excellent tool not only for understanding the biological effects of HNO in pathological processes of PD but also for early PD diagnosis.

Abstract
Hypertensive cardiovascular disease is a persistent threat to public health. Elucidating the pathogenesis of hypertension is expected to provide more highly targeted therapies for patients. To date, reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling are generally considered to be common phenomena in hypertension. However, the critical factor contribute to persistent eNOS uncoupling remains poorly understood. Herein, we established a fluorescence probe, GolROS, for the multicolored and simultaneous detection of Golgi O2•- and H2O2 in situ. We successfully detected increases in Golgi ROS levels in hypertensive mice and evaluated the pharmaceutical effects of various antihypertensive drugs. More importantly, we identified the ROS post-transcriptional modification sites on dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Altogether, we propose a novel therapeutic target for hypertension, which will promote the development of new antihypertensive drugs, and also developed an ideal fluorescence probe to study in situ Golgi O2•- and H2O2 changes in various biochemical processes.

Abstract
When the cell environment changes or is stimulated, the Golgi apparatus will respond to the corresponding stress, through the opening of related pathways, the expression of corresponding substances can be promoted or inhibited to achieve the purpose of controlling cell redox homeostasis and reducing cytotoxicity. Intuitive analysis of the changes in the content of various substances in the process of stress has important guiding value for the further study of stress response, drug evaluation and clinical diagnosis. Therefore, for the Cys overexpressed during the oxidative stress of the Golgi apparatus, we developed a specific and sensitive fluorescent probe (Gol-NCS) to visually monitor the biologically important Cys in real time. The probe has low cytotoxicity and shows great potential in cell and zebrafish imaging, it can detect the changes of endogenous and exogenous cysteine. It is important to explore the synthetic pathway of Cys during Golgi stress by using the Golgi targeting performance of the probe Gol-NCS. It is confirmed by fluorescence imaging for the first time that the activity of CSE enzyme plays a decisive role in the formation of Cys. Therefore, probe Gol-NCS with excellent photochemical properties is expected to provide help for the research on the involvement of Cys in Golgi stress.

Abstract
Cancer is a serious threat to human health, and there is an urgent need to develop new treatment methods to overcome it. Organelle targeting therapy, as a highly effective and less toxic side effect treatment strategy, has great research significance and development prospects. Being an essential organelle, the Golgi apparatus plays a particularly major role in the growth of cancer cells. Acting as an indispensable and highly expressed antioxidant in cancer cells, glutathione (GSH) also contributes greatly during the Golgi oxidative stress. Therefore, it counts for much to track the changes of GSH concentration in Golgi for monitoring the occurrence and development of tumor cells, and exploring Golgi-targeted therapy is also extremely important for effective treatment of cancer. In this work, we designed and synthesized a simple Golgi-targeting fluorescent probe GT-GSH for accurately detecting GSH. The probe GT-GSH reacting with GSH decomposes toxic substances to Golgi, thereby killing cancer cells. At the same time, the ratiometric fluorescent probe can detect the concentration changes of GSH in Golgi stress with high sensitivity and selectivity in living cells. Therefore, such a GSH-responsive fluorescent probe with a Golgi-targeted therapy effect gives a new method for accurate treatment of cancer.

Enzyme-activated near-infrared fluorogenic probe with high-efficiency intrahepatic targeting ability for visualization of drug-induced liver injury. Chem Sci 2021; 12:14855-14862. [PMID: 34820101 PMCID: PMC8597858 DOI: 10.1039/d1sc04825b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Hepatotoxicity is a serious problem faced by thousands of clinical drugs, and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) caused by chronic administration or overdose has become a major biosafety issue. However, the near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes currently used for liver injury detection still suffer from poor liver targeting ability and low sensitivity. Enzyme-activated fluorogenic probes with powerful in situ targeting ability are the key to improving the imaging effect of liver injury. Herein, we rationally designed a leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) activated fluorogenic probe hCy-CA-LAP, which greatly improved the hepatocyte-targeting capability by introducing a cholic acid group. The probe hCy-CA-LAP is converted into a high-emission hCy-CA fluorophore in the presence of LAP, showing high selectivity, high sensitivity and low detection limit (0.0067 U mL-1) for LAP, and successfully realizes the sensitive detection of small fluctuations of LAP in living cells. Moreover, the probe can achieve effective in situ accumulation in the liver, thereby achieving precise imaging and evaluation of two different types of drug-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo. Therefore, the probe hCy-CA-LAP may be a potential tool for exploring the roles of LAP and evaluating the degree of DILI.

Abstract
HNO (nitroxyl, azanone), joined the 'biologically relevant reactive nitrogen species' family in the 2000s. Azanone is impossible to store due to its high reactivity and inherent low stability. Consequently, its chemistry and effects are studied using donor compounds, which release this molecule in solution and in the gas phase upon stimulation. Researchers have also tried to stabilize this elusive species and its conjugate base by coordination to metal centers using several ligands, like metalloporphyrins and pincer ligands. Given HNO's high reactivity and short lifetime, several different strategies have been proposed for its detection in chemical and biological systems, such as colorimetric methods, EPR, HPLC, mass spectrometry, fluorescent probes, and electrochemical analysis. These approaches are described and critically compared. Finally, in the last ten years, several advances regarding the possibility of endogenous HNO generation were made; some of them are also revised in the present work.
