Abstract
Hybrid small-molecule/protein fluorescent probes are powerful tools for visualizing protein localization and function in living cells. These hybrid probes are constructed by diverse site-specific chemical protein labeling approaches through chemical reactions to exogenous peptide/small protein tags, enzymatic post-translational modifications, bioorthogonal reactions for genetically incorporated unnatural amino acids, and ligand-directed chemical reactions. The hybrid small-molecule/protein fluorescent probes are employed for imaging protein trafficking, conformational changes, and bioanalytes surrounding proteins. In addition, fluorescent hybrid probes facilitate visualization of protein dynamics at the single-molecule level and the defined structure with super-resolution imaging. In this review, we discuss development and the bioimaging applications of fluorescent probes based on small-molecule/protein hybrids.

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
Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF)/photoacoustic (PA) dual-modality imaging integrated high-sensitivity fluorescence imaging with deep-penetration PA imaging has been recognized as a reliable tool for disease detection and diagnosis. However, it remains an immense challenge for a molecule probe to achieve the optimal NIRF and PA imaging by adjusting the energy allocation between radiative transition and nonradiative transition. Herein, a simple but effective strategy is reported to engineer a NIRF/PA dual-modality probe (Cl-HDN3) based on the near-infrared hemicyanine scaffold to optimize the energy allocation between radiative and nonradiative transition. Upon activation by H2S, the Cl-HDN3 shows a 3.6-fold enhancement in the PA signal and a 4.3-fold enhancement in the fluorescence signal. To achieve the sensitive and selective detection of H2S in vivo, the Cl-HDN3 is encapsulated within an amphiphilic lipid (DSPE-PEG2000) to form the Cl-HDN3-LP, which can successfully map the changes of H2S in a tumor-bearing mouse model with the NIRF/PA dual-modality imaging. This work presents a promising strategy for optimizing fluorescence and PA effects in a molecule probe, which may be extended to the NIRF/PA dual-modality imaging of other disease-relevant biomarkers.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important biological mediator across all kingdoms of life and plays intertwined roles in various disciplines, ranging from geochemical cycles to industrial processes. A common need across these broad disciplines is the ability to detect and measure H2S in complex sample environments. This Perspective focuses on key advances and opportunities for H2S detection and quantification that are relevant to chemical biology. Specifically, we focus on methods for H2S detection and quantification most commonly used in biological samples, including activity-based H2S probes, the methylene blue assay, the monobromobimane assay, and H2S-sensitive electrode measurements. Our goal is to help simplify what at first may seem to be an overwhelming array of detection and measurement choices, to articulate the strengths and limitations of individual techniques, and to highlight key unmet needs and opportunities in the field.

Abstract
With an increasing worldwide prevalence, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver in the world. It is also the primary reason for cancer-related death in the world. The pathogenesis of HCC is complex, such as DNA methylation changes, immune regulatory disorders, cell cycle disorders, chromosomal instability, and so on. Although many studies have been conducted on HCC, the molecular mechanisms of HCC are not completely understood. At present, there is no effective treatment for HCC. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has long been regarded as a toxic gas with the smell of rotten eggs, but recent studies have shown that it is an important gasotransmitter along with carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO). Increasing evidence indicates that H2S has multiple biological functions, such as anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, anti-oxidative stress, and so on. Recently, a lot of evidence has shown that H2S has a "double-edged sword" effect in HCC, but the mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we reviewed the progress on the role and mechanism of H2S in HCC in recent years, hoping to provide a theoretical reference for future related research.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling and H2S-prodrugs maintain redox balance in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Predominant effect of any H2S-donor is mitochondrial. Non-targeted H2S-moieties were shown to decrease the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-induced gastrotoxicity but in high doses. However, direct, controlled delivery of H2S to gastric mucosal mitochondria as a molecular target improving NSAIDs-pharmacology remains overlooked. Thus, we treated Wistar rats, i.g. with vehicle, mitochondria-targeted H2S-releasing AP39 (0.004-0.5 mg/kg), AP219 (0.02 mg/kg) as structural control without H2S-releasing ability, or AP39 + SnPP (10 mg/kg) as a heme oxygenase (HMOX) inhibitor. Next, animals were administered i.g. with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, 125 mg/kg) as NSAIDs representative or comparatively with 75% ethanol to induce translational hemorrhagic or necrotic gastric lesions, that were assessed micro-/macroscopically. Activity of mitochondrial complex IV/V, and DNA oxidation were assessed biochemically. Gastric mucosal/serum content of IL-1β, IL-10, TNF-α, TGF-β1/2, ARG1, GST-α, or phosphorylation of mTOR, NF-κB, ERK, Akt, JNK, STAT3/5 were evaluated by microbeads-fluorescent xMAP®-assay; gastric mucosal mRNA level of HMOX-1/2, COX-1/2, SOD-1/2 by real-time PCR. AP39 (but not AP219) dose-dependently (0.02 and 0.1 mg/kg) diminished NSAID- (and ethanol)-induced gastric lesions and DNA oxidation, restoring mitochondrial complexes activity, ARG1, GST-α protein levels and increasing HMOX-1 and SOD-2 expression. AP39 decreased proteins levels or phosphorylation of gastric mucosal inflammation/oxidation-sensitive markers and restored mTOR phosphorylation. Pharmacological inhibition of HMOX-1 attenuated AP39-gastroprotection. We showed that mitochondria-targeted H2S released from very low i.g. doses of AP39 improved gastric mucosal capacity to cope with NSAIDs-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and redox imbalance, mechanistically requiring the activity of HMOX-1.

Abstract
A crucial endogenous signaling chemical, hydrogen sulfide, is involved in many physiological actions. In this work, we created the fluorescent probe ER-Nap-NBD using a naphthalimide fluorophore as the signal reporter, a 7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole amine as the responsive moiety, and a sulfonamide part for endoplasmic reticulum targeting. ER-Nap-NBD could be detected the H2S levels in solution and in living systems (cells and zebrafish).

Abstract
The conjugation of proteins with synthetic molecules can be conducted in many different ways. In this Perspective, we focus on tag-based techniques and specifically on the SNAP-tag technology. The SNAP-tag technology makes use of a fusion protein between a protein of interest and an enzyme tag that enables the actual conjugation reaction. The SNAP-tag is based on the O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) enzyme and is optimized to react selectively with O6-benzylguanine (BG) substrates. BG-containing dye derivatives have frequently been used to introduce a fluorescent tag to a specific protein. We believe that the site-specific conjugation of polymers to proteins can significantly benefit from the SNAP-tag technology. Especially, polymers synthesized via reversible deactivation radical polymerization allow for the facile introduction of a BG end group to enable SNAP-tag conjugation.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a disease with high morbidity, high mortality, and low cure rate. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely adopted in tissue engineering and drug delivery. 5-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-3H-1, 2-dithiol-3-thione (ADT-OH) is one of commonly used H2S donors. In our previous study, HA-ADT was designed and synthesized via coupling of HA and ADT-OH. In this study, compared with sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, a fast H2S-releasing donor) and morpholin-4-ium (4-methoxyphenyl)-morpholin-4-ylsulfanylidenesulfido-λ5-phosphane (GYY4137, a slow H2S-releasing donor), HA-ADT showed stronger inhibitory effect on the proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle of human HCC cells. HA-ADT promoted apoptosis by suppressing the expressions of phospho (p)-protein kinase B (PKB/AKT), p-glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), p-β-catenin, and also inhibited autophagy via the downregulation of the protein levels of p-Smad2, p-Smad3, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in human HCC cells. Moreover, HA-ADT inhibited HCC xenograft tumor growth more effectively than both NaHS and GYY4137. Therefore, HA-ADT can suppress the growth of HCC cells by blocking the AKT/GSK-3β/β-catenin and TGF-β/Smad2/3 signaling pathways. HA-ADT and its derivatives may be developed as promising antitumor drugs.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can not only be regarded as a critical gas signal transduction substance, but also its excess levels can lead to a range of diseases. Currently, the accurate analysis combined with electrochemical (EC) or photothermal (PT) technology for H2S in a complex biological system remains a significant challenge. Herein, an endogenous H2S-triggered heterojunction cuprous oxide/gold/copper metal organic framework (Cu2O/Au/HKUST-1) nanoprobe is designed for dual-mode EC- second near-infrared (NIR-II)/PT analysis in tumor cells with high sensitivity and simplicity. Dual-mode EC quantification - PT is achieved through "off-on" mode of EC and PT signals based on electronic transfer and biosynthesis via an in situ sulfuration reaction. Under the optimum conditions, the EC quantification mode for trace H2S exhibits a wide linear range and an excellent limit of detection of 0.1 μM. More importantly, the dual-mode can display the selective detection of trace H2S in living tumor cells because of the specific interaction between copper ion and H2S. These results provide a new EC-PT promising biosensing platform for noninvasive intelligent detection of H2S in living tumor cells.

Abstract
It is crucial to monitor hydrogen sulfide (H2S) because H2S plays a vital role in the regulation of many physiology and pathology processes. Many evidences indicate that endogenous H2S is closely associated with many diseases such as inflammation and cancers. Herein, we reported a novel fluorescent probe BTDI to monitor the fluctuation of H2S based on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism both ex vivo and in vivo. The selectivity of BTDI for H2S is significantly higher than that for biothiols and other potential anions. After the probe responded to H2S, the nucleophilic addition reaction of the H2S with probe BTDI resulted the shifting of maximum emission peak from 630 nm to 542 nm and the fluorescent signals change from red to green emission along with a large Stokes shift (240 nm). Moreover, BTDI can be successfully applied to detect extracellular and endogenous H2S in living cells through fluorescent cell-imaging, which provides a promising tool for the specific recognition of H2S in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced gaseous signaling molecule with important roles in regulating organelle function and stress. Because of its high reactivity, targeted delivery of H2S using small molecule H2S donors has garnered significant interest to minimize off-target effects. Although mitochondrially targeted H2S donors, such as AP39, have been reported previously and exhibit significantly higher potency than nontargeted donors, the expansion of targeted H2S delivery to other subcellular organelles remains largely absent. To fill this key unmet need, we report a library of organelle-targeted H2S donors that localize H2S delivery to specific subcellular organelles, including the Golgi apparatus, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. We measured H2S production in vitro from each donor, confirmed the localization of H2S delivery using organelle-specific H2S responsive fluorescent probes, and demonstrated enhanced potency of these targeted H2S donors in providing protection against organelle-specific stress. We anticipate this class of targeted H2S donors will enable future studies of subcellular roles of H2S and the pathways by which H2S alleviates subcellular organelle stress.

Abstract
Significance: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays critical roles in redox biology, and its regulatory effects are tightly controlled by its cellular location and concentration. The imbalance of H2S is believed to contribute to some pathological processes. Recent Advances: Downregulation of H2S requires chemical tools such as inhibitors of H2S-producing enzymes and H2S scavengers. Recent efforts have discovered some promising inhibitors and scavengers. These advances pave the road toward better understanding of the functions of H2S. Critical Issues: Precise H2S downregulation is challenging. The potency and specificity of current inhibitors are still far from ideal. H2S-producing enzymes are involved in complex sulfur metabolic pathways and ubiquitously present in biological matrices. The inhibition of these enzymes can cause unwanted side effects. H2S scavengers allow targeted H2S clearance, but their options are still limited. In addition, the scavenging process often results in biologically active by-products. Future Directions: Further development of potent and specific inhibitors for H2S-producing enzymes is needed. Scavengers that can rapidly and selectively remove H2S while generating biocompatible by-products are needed. Potential therapeutic applications of scavengers and inhibitors are worth exploring.

Abstract
Advances in nanotechnology have enabled the rapid development of stimuli-responsive therapeutic nanomaterials for precision gas therapy. Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) is a significant gaseous signaling molecule with intrinsic biochemical properties, which exerts its various physiological effects under both normal and pathological conditions. Various nanomaterials with H2 S-responsive properties, as new-generation therapeutic agents, are explored to guide therapeutic behaviors in biological milieu. The cross disciplinary of H2 S is an emerging scientific hotspot that studies the chemical properties, biological mechanisms, and therapeutic effects of H2 S. This review summarizes the state-of-art research on H2 S-related nanomedicines. In particular, recent advances in H2 S therapeutics for cancer, such as H2 S-mediated gas therapy and H2 S-related synergistic therapies (combined with chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and chemodynamic therapy) are highlighted. Versatile imaging techniques for real-time monitoring H2 S during biological diagnosis are reviewed. Finally, the biosafety issues, current challenges, and potential possibilities in the evolution of H2 S-based therapy that facilitate clinical translation to patients are discussed.

Abstract
The concentrations of nitroreductase and H2S have been widely used to predict the invasiveness of tumors. However, the above two substrates always interfere with the measurement of each other as both substrates react with the typical nitroaromatic probe with the same process. Moreover, the above interferences may lead to the misjudgment of the tumor invasiveness. We used a strategy combining kinetical distinguishing and signal amplification to construct a kinetically orthogonal probe labeled KOP. The above strategy expanded the gap between the reactivity of KOP to H2S and nitroreductase with an acceptable reactivity and could determine the concentration of coexisting nitroreductase and H2S on a kinetic curve with a breakpoint. KOP could also indicate the correct invasiveness tendency in the cellular model with a complex H2S generation pathway, while the traditional kinetically nonorthogonal probe could not indicate invasiveness correctly.

Abstract
The selective visualization of H2S in mitochondria is still a challenge, but it correlates closely with mitochondrial damage and some related diseases. In this work, a cyclometalated iridium complex Ir-DNB, [Ir(ppy)2(N^N)](PF6) (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, N^N = (4'-methyl-[2,2'-bipyridin]-4-yl)methyl 2-((2,4-dinitrophenyl) thio)benzoate) has been explored for the detection of mitochondrial H2S. Adding H2S to a solution of complex Ir-DNB results in a clearly luminescence enhancement, and displays high selectivity and sensitivity. Moreover, this complex displays negligible toxicity and good mitochondrial localization to HeLa cells, and has also been successfully used for endogenous and exogenous H2S imaging in vitro and in vivo.

Hydrogen Sulfide Is a Novel Protector of the Retinal Glycocalyx and Endothelial Permeability Barrier. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:724905. [PMID: 34557493 PMCID: PMC8452977 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.724905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Significantly reduced levels of the anti-inflammatory gaseous transmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are observed in diabetic patients and correlate with microvascular dysfunction. H2S may protect the microvasculature by preventing loss of the endothelial glycocalyx. We tested the hypothesis that H2S could prevent or treat retinal microvascular endothelial dysfunction in diabetes. Bovine retinal endothelial cells (BRECs) were exposed to normal (NG, 5.5 mmol/L) or high glucose (HG, 25 mmol/L) ± the slow-release H2S donor NaGYY4137 in vitro. Glycocalyx coverage (stained with WGA-FITC) and calcein-labeled monocyte adherence were measured. In vivo, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was performed in normal and streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetic rats. Animals received intraocular injection of NaGYY4137 (1 μM) or the mitochondrial-targeted H2S donor AP39 (100 nM) simultaneously with STZ (prevention) or on day 6 after STZ (treatment), and the ratio of interstitial to vascular fluorescence was used to estimate apparent permeability. NaGYY4137 prevented HG-induced loss of BREC glycocalyx, increased monocyte binding to BRECs (p ≤ 0.001), and increased overall glycocalyx coverage (p ≤ 0.001). In rats, the STZ-induced increase in apparent retinal vascular permeability (p ≤ 0.01) was significantly prevented by pre-treatment with NaGYY4137 and AP39 (p < 0.05) and stabilized by their post-STZ administration. NaGYY4137 also reduced the number of acellular capillaries (collagen IV + /IB4-) in the diabetic retina in both groups (p ≤ 0.05). We conclude that NaGYY4137 and AP39 protected the retinal glycocalyx and endothelial permeability barrier from diabetes-associated loss of integrity and reduced the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Hydrogen sulfide donors that target the glycocalyx may therefore be a therapeutic candidate for DR.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive sulfur species (RSS) participate in many physiological activities and help maintaining the redox homeostasis in biological system. The complicated intrinsic connection between specific ROS/RSS needs to be further explored. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe (MB-NAP-N3) with longer emission wavelength has been rationally designed and synthesized based on the conjugation of the methylene blue moiety and the naphthalimide moiety for the detection of hypochlorous acid (HClO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The dual-signal probe exhibits rapid turn-on fluorescence responses for individual and successive detection of H2S and HClO in green and red channels, respectively. Owning to its advantages such as fast response, good selectivity and high sensitivity, the probe was successfully applied to detect endogenous and exogenous HClO/H2S in living cells. Furthermore, the outstanding luminescence performance makes it suitable for the visualization of the in vivo interaction between the two analytes in zebrafish.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is currently considered among the endogenously produced gaseous molecules that exert various signaling effects in mammalian species. It is the third physiological gasotransmitter discovered so far after NO and CO. H2S was originally ranked among the toxic gases at elevated levels to humans. Currently, it is well-known that, in the cardiovascular system, H2S exerts several cardioprotective effects including vasodilation, antioxidant regulation, inhibition of inflammation, and activation of anti-apoptosis. With an increasing interest in monitoring H2S, the development of analysis methods should now follow. AIM OF REVIEW This review stages special emphasis on the several analytical technologies used for its determination including spectroscopic, chromatographic, and electrochemical methods. Advantages and limitations with regards to the application of each technique are highlighted with special emphasis on its employment for H2S in vivo measurement i.e., biofluids, tissues. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS AND IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF REVIEW Fluorescence methods applied for H2S measurement offer an attractive non-invasive and promising approach in addition to its selectivity, however they cannot be considered as H2S-specific probes. On the other hand, colorimetric assays are among the most common methods used for in vitro H2S detection, albeit their employment in vivo H2S measurement has not yet been possible . Separation techniques such as gas or liquid chromatography offer higher selectivity compared to direct spectrophotometric or fluorescence methods especially for suitable for endpoint H2S measurements i.e. plasma or tissue samples. Despite all the developed analytical procedures used for H2S determination, the need for highly selective, much work should be devoted to resolve all the pitfalls of the current methods.

Abstract
A novel dual mode sensing platform is constructed for highly selective detection of H2S, attributing to the efficient electrochemical (EC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal responses of the TiO2/Bi2WO6/Ag heterojunction. On the one hand, TiO2/Bi2WO6/Ag heterojunction with excellent catalytic performance for the reduction of H2O2 could be employed act as a probe, providing a remarkable EC response through an amperometric i-t method. On the other hand, this hybrid provides a photoelectric beacon with a favorable energy-band configuration. More interestingly, the EC and PEC responses of the functionalized electrodes are proportionately decreased in response to the generation of Bi2S3 and Ag2S nanoparticles upon exposure to sulfide ions. The decreased EC and PEC signals could be ascribed to the poor catalytic properties and the recombination of photoexcited electron - hole pairs of the Bi2S3 and Ag2S. Under the optimal conditions, the dual mode sensor exhibits a wide linear response in the range from 0.5 μM to 300 μM with a detection limit of 0.08 μM for the detection of H2S. Enabled by this unique sensitization mechanism, the proposed sensing platform displays an excellent analytical performance with good selectivity, reproducibility and stability, which providing an alternative pathway of H2S detecting in practical application.

Abstract
A customizable fluorescent probe platform that can be used to detect various bioactive analytes offers significant potential for engineering a wide range of bioprobes with diverse sensing and imaging functions. Here, we show a facile and innovative strategy for introducing cis-amino-proline as a carrier scaffold, which is appended with three specific functional groups: a target group, a water-soluble group, and fluorophores with triggers. The potency of the designed strategy could be customized to generate variable multifunctional fluorescent probes for detecting bioactive species of interest, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), reactive sulfur species (RSS), ROS/RSS, and even enzymes. We designed and synthesized five representative water-soluble and organelle-targeted compounds, PMB, PMN, PMD, PRB, and PME, with emission wavelengths of these fluorescent probes varying from blue to red (465, 480, 535, 550, 565, and 640 nm). This strategy could be exemplified by its application to develop a mitochondria-/lysosome-targeting multifunctional fluorescent probe capable of imaging bioactive species of interest in live cells and nude mice.

Abstract
Endogenous gaseous signaling molecules including nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been demonstrated to perform significant physiological and pharmacological functions and are associated with various diseases in biological systems. In order to obtain a deeper insight into their roles and mechanisms of action, it is desirable to develop novel techniques for effectively detecting gaseous signaling molecules. Small-molecule fluorescent probes have been proven to be a powerful approach for the detection and imaging of biological messengers by virtue of their non-invasiveness, high selectivity, and real-time in situ detection capability. Based on the intrinsic properties of gaseous signaling molecules, numerous fluorescent probes have been constructed to satisfy various demands. In this perspective, we summarize the recent advances in the field of fluorescent probes for the detection of NO, CO and H2S and illustrate the design strategies and application examples of these probes. Moreover, we also emphasize the challenges and development directions of gasotransmitter-responsive fluorescent probes, hoping to provide a general implication for future research.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is considered as a highly toxic environmental pollutant and an important signal transmitter in physiological processes, and the selective and reliable detection of H2S is of great concern and remains challenging. Herein, we report a smart sensitive "off-on" 19F NMR sensor for H2S by partially introducing a fluorinated ligand to construct a hollow dual metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosystem, F-ZnFeIII hMOF, in which the fluorinated ligand acts as the 19F signal source but is initially quenched due to the strong paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) effect from neighboring Fe3+ nodes. Upon exposure to sulfide ions, reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ is specifically triggered, which attenuates PRE efficiency, thus turning on the 19F NMR signal. The unique hollow MOF architecture benefits the mobility of 19F atoms, thereby improving the response sensitivity. Meanwhile, the desirable H2S-sorption feature and appropriate redox potential of Fe3+/Fe2+ account for the favorable selectivity. The increase in the 19F signal is linear with the concentration of sulfide in the range of 20 to 150 μM with a detection limit of 2.8 μM. The probe is well demonstrated by analyzing H2S in complex matrixes such as biological and foodstuff samples.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important cellular signaling molecule, and its physiological and pathophysiological properties have been under intensive investigation. In this study, a novel ratiometric fluorescent H2S donor (HSD-B) has been developed, which exhibited the following advantages: (i) scavenging ROS and producing H2S simultaneously; (ii) providing ratiometric fluorescence for visualization and quantification of H2S releasing; and (iii) targeting mitochondrion specifically. Moreover, it demonstrated protective effects on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in a cellular model. These attractive features promise this HSD-B as a fluorescent H2S donor for future research studies.

Abstract
The dynamic fluctuations of bioactive species in living cells are associated with numerous physiological and pathological phenomena. The emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes has significantly facilitated our understanding on the biological functions of these species. This review describes the design, applications, challenges and potential directions of organelle-targeted bioactive species probes.
Bioactive species, including reactive oxygen species (ROS, including O2˙–, H2O2, HOCl, 1O2, ˙OH, HOBr, etc.), reactive nitrogen species (RNS, including ONOO–, NO, NO2, HNO, etc.), reactive sulfur species (RSS, including GSH, Hcy, Cys, H2S, H2Sn, SO2 derivatives, etc.), ATP, HCHO, CO and so on, are a highly important category of molecules in living cells. The dynamic fluctuations of these molecules in subcellular microenvironments determine cellular homeostasis, signal conduction, immunity and metabolism. However, their abnormal expressions can cause disorders which are associated with diverse major diseases. Monitoring bioactive molecules in subcellular structures is therefore critical for bioanalysis and related drug discovery. With the emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes, significant progress has been made in subcellular imaging. Among the developed subcellular localization fluorescent tools, ROS, RNS and RSS (RONSS) probes are highly attractive, owing to their potential for revealing the physiological and pathological functions of these highly reactive, interactive and interconvertible molecules during diverse biological events, which are rather significant for advancing our understanding of different life phenomena and exploring new technologies for life regulation. This review mainly illustrates the design principles, detection mechanisms, current challenges, and potential future directions of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes toward RONSS.

Abstract
A fluorogenic probe based on the novel fluorophore 5-triazole-quinoline was developed for the detection of hydrogen sulfide, an endogenous signaling molecule associated with the development of various diseases. The lysosome-targeted probe Lyso-HS was synthesized via C-H direct azidation from 8-aminoquinoline; it was able to detect H2S in 1 min and exhibited excellent turn-on ability with 95-fold fluorescence enhancement based on a new fluorochrome. The high quenching efficiency was further verified using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The probe also exhibited high selectivity and a low detection limit (as low as 214.5 nM), which has practical applications for disease detection and monitoring.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The concentrations of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are critical to various biochemical processes. Small-molecule fluorescent probes have been widely used to detect and/or quantify ROS/RNS in many redox biology studies and serve as an important complementary to protein-based sensors with unique applications. Recent Advances: New sensing reactions have emerged in probe development, allowing more selective and quantitative detection of ROS/RNS, especially in live cells. Improvements have been made in sensing reactions, fluorophores, and bioavailability of probe molecules. CRITICAL ISSUES In this review, we will not only summarize redox-related small-molecule fluorescent probes but also lay out the challenges of designing probes to help redox biologists independently evaluate the quality of reported small-molecule fluorescent probes, especially in the chemistry literature. We specifically highlight the advantages of reversibility in sensing reactions and its applications in ratiometric probe design for quantitative measurements in living cells. In addition, we compare the advantages and disadvantages of small-molecule probes and protein-based probes. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The low physiological relevant concentrations of most ROS/RNS call for new sensing reactions with better selectivity, kinetics, and reversibility; fluorophores with high quantum yield, wide wavelength coverage, and Stokes shifts; and structural design with good aqueous solubility, membrane permeability, low protein interference, and organelle specificity.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide is a critical gasotransmitter in the body and related with mitochondrial respiration. To date, various fluorescent probes for CO have been well proposed, but two main problems remain. One is that most of the probes are not mitochondria-targeting, even if the probes claim to be able to detect CO in living cells. The other is that the probes for CO display excitation and emission within the ultraviolet or visible range, which hinders their applications in vivo. Herein, a hemicyanine-based near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe named CyAPC is first synthesized and used to detect mitochondrial CO. The characteristics of probe CyAPC are as follows: (1) The fluorescence emission of the sensing system is at 736 nm belonging to NIR region, which is suitable for bioimaging in vivo. (2) CyAPC, a positively charged molecule, would have a high tendency to localize in mitochondria of cells. (3) The fluorescence change of the probe is attributed to the fact that CO with Pd2+ induced cleavage of the allyl formate group from the probe and CyAPC (fluorescence off) is transformed into CyOH (fluorescence on), which is proved by HPLC, MS and DFT calculation. (4) The NIR fluorescent probe is applied for the detection of exogenous and endogenous CO in various biological samples such as cell, tissue and in vivo with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Chemically constructed biosensors consisting of a protein scaffold and an artificial small molecule have recently been recognized as attractive analytical tools for the specific detection and real-time monitoring of various biological substances or events in cells. Conventionally, such semisynthetic biosensors have been prepared in test tubes and then introduced into cells using invasive methods. With the impressive advances seen in bioorthogonal protein conjugation methodologies, however, it is now becoming feasible to directly construct semisynthetic biosensors in living cells, providing unprecedented tools for life-science research. We discuss here recent efforts regarding the in situ construction of protein-based semisynthetic biosensors and highlight their uses in the visualization and quantification of biomolecules and events in multimolecular and crowded cellular systems.

Abstract
We took advantage of gasotransmitter H2S as a chemical reaction-based trigger for controlled release of doxorubicin which is precoordinated by copper ions and enclosed in horse spleen apoferritin. The nanocomposite is stable at physiological pH and temperature before H2S activation. The drug release process avoids disassembly of protein shells and is controllable by the strong affinity of sulfide with copper ions. The in vitro cytotoxicity assay indicates the antitumor effect of doxorubicin toward tumor cells could be achievable by H2S activation.

Abstract
Over the last decade, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an important endogenous gasotransmitter in mammalian cells and tissues. Similar to the previously characterized gasotransmitters nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, H2S is produced by various enzymatic reactions and regulates a host of physiologic and pathophysiological processes in various cells and tissues. H2S levels are decreased in a number of conditions (e.g., diabetes mellitus, ischemia, and aging) and are increased in other states (e.g., inflammation, critical illness, and cancer). Over the last decades, multiple approaches have been identified for the therapeutic exploitation of H2S, either based on H2S donation or inhibition of H2S biosynthesis. H2S donation can be achieved through the inhalation of H2S gas and/or the parenteral or enteral administration of so-called fast-releasing H2S donors (salts of H2S such as NaHS and Na2S) or slow-releasing H2S donors (GYY4137 being the prototypical compound used in hundreds of studies in vitro and in vivo). Recent work also identifies various donors with regulated H2S release profiles, including oxidant-triggered donors, pH-dependent donors, esterase-activated donors, and organelle-targeted (e.g., mitochondrial) compounds. There are also approaches where existing, clinically approved drugs of various classes (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories) are coupled with H2S-donating groups (the most advanced compound in clinical trials is ATB-346, an H2S-donating derivative of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compound naproxen). For pharmacological inhibition of H2S synthesis, there are now several small molecule compounds targeting each of the three H2S-producing enzymes cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase. Although many of these compounds have their limitations (potency, selectivity), these molecules, especially in combination with genetic approaches, can be instrumental for the delineation of the biologic processes involving endogenous H2S production. Moreover, some of these compounds (e.g., cell-permeable prodrugs of the CBS inhibitor aminooxyacetate, or benserazide, a potentially repurposable CBS inhibitor) may serve as starting points for future clinical translation. The present article overviews the currently known H2S donors and H2S biosynthesis inhibitors, delineates their mode of action, and offers examples for their biologic effects and potential therapeutic utility.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is mainly produced in the mitochondrion and used as a universal energy source for various cellular events. Various fluorescent probes for ATP have been established successfully, but most of them are not appropriate for monitoring the fluctuation of the mitochondrial ATP level. Herein, a fluorescent probe named Mito-Rh is first synthesized and used to recognize ATP in mitochondrion. In the probe, rhodamine, diethylenetriamine, and triphenylphosphonium are selected as fluorophore, reaction site, and mitochondrion-targeting group, respectively. Probe Mito-Rh shows high sensitivity to ATP with 81-fold fluorescence enhancement, and the detection range (0.1-10 mM) can match the concentration level of ATP in the mitochondrion. Moreover, Mito-Rh provides excellent selectivity toward ATP over other biological anions (ADP, AMP, GTP, CTP, UTP) owing to a concurrent effect of dual recognition sites (hydrogen bond and π-π stacking). In particular, the probe can localize in mitochondrion specifically and demonstrates utility in the real-time detection of mitochondrial ATP concentration changes.

Abstract
As one of the simplest reactive carbonyl species, formaldehyde is implicated in nervous system diseases and cancer. Organelles play crucial roles in various physiological processes in living cells. Accordingly, the detection of endogenous formaldehyde at the subcellular level is of high interest. We herein describe the development of the first organelle-targeted fluorescent formaldehyde probe (Na-FA-Lyso). The new probe exhibits favorable features including a large fluorescence enhancement (about 350-fold) and a fast response to formaldehyde. Significantly, the novel probe Na-FA-Lyso was employed to visualize the endogenous formaldehyde in the lysosomes in living cells for the first time.
