Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202406843. [PMID: 38828878 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202406843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPECs) is a leading cause for urinary tract infections (UTI), accounting for 70-90 % of community or hospital-acquired bacterial infections owing to high recurrence, imprecision in diagnosis and management, and increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance. Current methods for clinical UPECs detection still rely on labor-intensive urine cultures that impede rapid and accurate diagnosis for timely UTI therapeutic management. Herein, we developed a first-in-class near-infrared (NIR) UPECs fluorescent probe (NO-AH) capable of specifically targeting UPECs through its collaborative response to bacterial enzymes, enabling locoregional imaging of UTIs both in vitro and in vivo. Our NO-AH probe incorporates a dual protease activatable moiety, which first reacts with OmpT, an endopeptidase abundantly present on the outer membrane of UPECs, releasing an intermediate amino acid residue conjugated with a NIR hemicyanine fluorophore. Such liberated fragment would be subsequently recognized by aminopeptidase (APN) within the periplasm of UPECs, activating localized fluorescence for precise imaging of UTIs in complex living environments. The peculiar specificity and selectivity of NO-AH, facilitated by the collaborative action of bacterial enzymes, features a timely and accurate identification of UPECs-infected UTIs, which could overcome misdiagnosis in conventional urine tests, thus opening new avenues towards reliable UTI diagnosis and personalized antimicrobial therapy management.

Abstract
Dynamic variations in the concentration and abnormal distribution of endogenous biomarkers are strongly associated with multiple physiological and pathological states. Therefore, it is crucial to design imaging systems capable of real-time detection of dynamic changes in biomarkers for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of diseases. Recently, ratiometric imaging has emerged as a widely used technique for sensing and imaging of biomarkers due to its advantage of circumventing the limitations inherent to conventional intensity-dependent signal readout methods while also providing built-in self-calibration for signal correction. Here, the recent progress of ratiometric probes and their applications in sensing and imaging of biomarkers are outlined. Ratiometric probes are classified according to their imaging mechanisms, and ratiometric photoacoustic imaging, ratiometric optical imaging including photoluminescence imaging and self-luminescence imaging, ratiometric magnetic resonance imaging, and dual-modal ratiometric imaging are discussed. The applications of ratiometric probes in the sensing and imaging of biomarkers such as pH, reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), glutathione (GSH), gas molecules, enzymes, metal ions, and hypoxia are discussed in detail. Additionally, this Review presents an overview of challenges faced in this field along with future research directions.

Abstract
Improving the retention of small-molecule-based therapeutic agents in tumors is crucial to achieve precise diagnosis and effective therapy of cancer. Herein, we propose a β-galactosidase (β-Gal)-activated and red light-induced RNA modification (GALIRM) strategy for prolonged tumor imaging. A β-Gal-activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) and positron emission tomography (PET) bimodal probe 68Ga-NOTA-FCG consists of a triaaza triacetic acid chelator NOTA for 68Ga-labeling, a β-Gal-activated photosensitizer CyGal, and a singlet oxygen (1O2)-susceptible furan group for RNA modification. Studies have demonstrated that the probe emits an activated NIR FL signal upon cleavage by endogenous β-Gal overexpressed in the lysosomes, which is combined with the PET imaging signal of 68Ga allowing for highly sensitive imaging of ovarian cancer. Moreover, the capability of 68Ga-NOTA-FCG generating 1O2 under 690 nm illumination could be simultaneously unlocked, which can trigger the covalent cross-linking between furan and nucleotides of cytoplasmic RNAs. The formation of the probe-RNA conjugate can effectively prevent exocytosis and prolong retention of the probe in tumors. We thus believe that this GALIRM strategy may provide entirely new insights into long-term tumor imaging and efficient tumor treatment.

Abstract
Although the extraordinary progress has been made in molecular biology, the prevention of cancer remains arduous. Most solid tumours exhibit both spatial and temporal heterogeneity, which is difficult to be mimicked in vitro. Additionally, the complex biochemical and immune features of tumour microenvironment significantly affect the tumour development. Molecular imaging aims at the exploitation of tumour-associated molecules as specific targets of customized molecular probe, thereby generating image contrast of tumour markers, and offering opportunities to non-invasively evaluate the pathological characteristics of tumours in vivo. Particularly, there are no "standard markers" as control in clinical imaging diagnosis of individuals, so the tumour pathological characteristics-responsive nanoprobe-based quantitative molecular imaging, which is able to visualize and determine the accurate content values of heterogeneous distribution of pathological molecules in solid tumours, can provide criteria for cancer diagnosis. In this context, a variety of "smart" quantitative molecular imaging nanoprobes have been designed, in order to provide feasible approaches to quantitatively visualize the tumour-associated pathological molecules in vivo. This review summarizes the recent achievements in the designs of these nanoprobes, and highlights the state-of-the-art technologies in quantitative imaging of tumour-associated pathological molecules.

Abstract
Early evaluation and prediction of the radiotherapy effect against tumors are crucial for effective radiotherapy management. The clinical approach generally relies on anatomical changes in tumor size, which is unable to promptly reflect clinical outcomes and guide a timely adjustment of therapy regimens. To resolve it, we herein develop a self-assembled organic probe (dCyFFs) with caspase-3 (Casp-3)-activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluoro-photoacoustic signals for early evaluation and prediction of radiotherapy efficacy. The probe contains an NIR dye that is caged with a Casp-3-cleavable substrate and linked to a self-assembly initiating moiety. In the presence of Casp-3, the self-assembled probe can undergo secondary assembly into larger nanoparticles and simultaneously activate NIR fluoro-photoacoustic signals. Such a design endows a superior real-time longitudinal imaging capability of Casp-3 generated by radiotherapy as it facilitates the passive accumulation of the probe into tumors, activated signal output with enhanced optical stability, and retention capacity relative to a nonassembling small molecular control probe (dCy). As a result, the probe enables precise prediction of the radiotherapy effect as early as 3 h posttherapy, which is further evidenced by the changes in tumor size after radiotherapy. Overall, the probe with Casp-3-mediated secondary assembly along with activatable NIR fluoro-photoacoustic signals holds great potential for evaluating and predicting the response of radiotherapy in a timely manner, which can also be explored for utilization in other therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
The responses of patients to tumor therapies vary due to tumor heterogeneity. Tumor stratification has been attracting increasing attention for accurately distinguishing between responders to treatment and non-responders. Nanoprobes with unique physical and chemical properties have great potential for patient stratification. This review begins by describing the features and design principles of nanoprobes that can visualize specific cell types and biomarkers and release inflammatory factors during or before tumor treatment. Then, we focus on the recent advancements in using nanoprobes to stratify various therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), ferroptosis, and immunotherapy. The main challenges and perspectives of nanoprobes in cancer stratification are also discussed to facilitate probe development and clinical applications.
