Abstract
Fluorescent sensors have been widely applied for biosensing, but probes for both multiple analytes sensing and photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect are less reported. In this article, we reported three AIE-based probes anchored with different mass-weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) tails, i.e., TPE-PEG160, TPE-PEG350, and TPE-PEG750, for both adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection and also cancer cells photodynamic therapy. TPE-PEGns (n = 160, 350 and 750) contain the tetraphenylethylene-based fluorophore core, the pyridinium and amide anion binding sites, the H2S cleavable disulfide bond, and the hydrophilic PEG chain. They exhibit a good amphiphilic property and can self-assemble nona-aggregation with a moderated red emission in an aqueous solution. Importantly, the size of aggregation, photophysical property, sensing ability and photosensitivity of these amphiphilic probes can be controlled by tuning the PEG chain length. Moreover, the selected probe TPE-PEG160 has been successfully used to detect environmental H2S and image ATP levels in living cells, and TPE-PEG750 has been used for photodynamic therapy of tumor cells under light irradiation.

Abstract
The enhanced cathodic ECL of Ru(bpy)32+ at a bimetallic element MXenes (TiVC MXene) modified electrode in neutral aqueous condition is reported. TiVC MXene significantly catalyzed the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as well as the electrochemical reduction of Ru(bpy)32+ to produce reactive oxygen species and Ru(bpy)3+. The obtained hydroxyl radical (OH∙) not only oxidized Ru(bpy)3+ to generate Ru(bpy)32+* and emit light through coreactant pathway, but also oxidized Ru(bpy)32+ to Ru(bpy)33+, which caused an annihilation ECL reaction. As a result, two pathways occurred simultaneously to generate strong cathodic ECL signal. Sulfite removes the dissolved oxygen in water and reduces the occurrence of ORR, which prohibits the generation of OH∙ to decrease the ECL signal. The decrement of ECL intensity varied linearly with the concentration of sulfite in the range 2 nM to 50 μM with a detection limit of 0.14 nM (3σ). The proposed sensor exhibited good analytical performance, and could be used in the detection of sulfite in real samples. The results revealed that the electrocatalytic behavior of TiVC MXene is the key factor for strong cathodic Ru(bpy)32+ ECL, which provides new application in ECL sensing field.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas with a toxic odor that plays an irreplaceable role in physiological activities within the mammalian body. Therefore, it is important to do the distribution and quantitative detection of H2S in mammalian cells. In this paper, a fluorescence probe (EDPH) based on purine scaffold was designed and synthesized with high sensitivity and good selectivity. H2S induced ether bond breakage in EDPH, resulting in a significant redshift of the absorption band (from 370 nm to 500 nm) with a Stokes shift of 130 nm. After the addition of H2S, the fluorescence intensity of EDPH showed a good linear correlation with the concentration of H2S, which enabled the quantitative detection of H2S with a low limit of detection (41 nM). Finally, the EDPH was applied to the cellular Hele, and the probe has good cellularity imaging capability for the detection of H2S in living systems.

Abstract
Biothiols and its metabolite SO2 derivatives play vital roles in various physiological processes. Although a few probes have been designed for monitoring the metabolism of biothiols, developing multi-signal fluorescent probes with practicability for simultaneously distinguishing biothiols (GSH, Cys and Hcy) and real-time visualizing SO2 derivatives is an enormous challenge. To better visualize biothiols metabolism in vitro and vivo, we developed a novel multi-signal NIR fluorescent probe (probe 2) with mitochondria-targeted for distinguishing biothiols and its metabolism, based on an ICT-PET synergetic mechanism. Probe 2 with dual recognition sites distinguishing detected Cys/Hcy (Red-Green), GSH (Green) and SO32- (Blue) via three channels. First probe 2 distinguished Cys and GSH to estimate main biothiols in living cells through the ratio changes of two well-defined emission bands (Red-Green), and then imaged its metabolite SO2 with ratiometric fluorescence (Red-Blue), eliminating the interference by different biothiols. Notably, probe 2 exhibits satisfactory sensitivity (detection limit: 0.21, 0.13, 0.14 and 3.06 μM for Cys, Hcy, GSH and SO32-, respectively), high selectivity, reliability at physiological pH, and rapid fluorescence response (within 10 min). Given these advantages, probe 2 has been successfully applied to the real-time monitor GSH metabolic process in MCF-7 cells and biothiols metabolism in breast cancer, suggesting biothiols metabolic changes might be a diagnostic indicator during cancer treatment. So probe 2 is a convenient and efficient tool for understanding the physiological functions of biothiols and its metabolism.

Abstract
H2S is one of the signal molecules in live organisms and a poisonous gas, which is closely related to our life. The traditional synthetic small molecular organic probes often have the disadvantages of low biocompatibility. In this paper, a fluorescent nanoprobe for detecting H2S in live organisms was constructed based on chitosan. The structure of CH-CN was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), XRD and scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the presence of Na2S, the fluorescence intensity at 560 nm was significantly enhanced, and showed high selectivity and sensitivity toward H2S. Based on the good fluorescence response of CH-CN, the probe was also successfully applied to H2S imaging in HepG2 cells and zebrafish. These experimental results indicate that the probe has lower cytotoxicity and excellent stability. The present research shows a typical example of construction of chitosan-based macromolecular fluorescent materials and their bio-imaging application.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a significant biological mercaptan that achieves key roles in several important physiological processes, such as reversible redox homeostasis in living organisms. Abnormal levels of Cys in the human body are directly related to many diseases. In this work, we constructed a sensitive sensor (Cys-NR) by connecting a Cys recognition group to a Nile red derivative. Due to photo-induced electron transfer (PET), the Cys-NR probe showed little fluorescence at 650 nm. With the addition of Cys to the assay solution, the chlorine unit of the probe was substituted by the thiol group of Cys. Further, the amino and sulfhydryl groups in cysteine underwent an intramolecular rearrangement, which led to the Cys-NR probe water solution turning from colorless to pink with an enhancement in fluorescence. The red fluorescence at 650 nm increased about 20 times. Based on the turn-on signal, a selective Cys detection method is developed. The probe signal is not affected by various potential interferences or other competing biothiols and the limit of detection (LOD) is determined to be 0.44 μM. In addition, the probe is further employed for imaging of Cys in live cells, revealing good biological imaging ability that could provide a new way of intracellular Cys detection.

Abstract
Sulfite is widely used as an antioxidant additive and preservative in food and beverages. Abnormal levels of sulfite in the body is related to a variety of diseases. There are strict rules for sulfite intake. Therefore, to monitor the sulfite level in physiological and pathological events, there is in urgent need to develop a rapid, accurate, sensitive, and non-invasive approach, which can also be of great significance for the improvement of the corresponding clinical diagnosis. With the development of fluorescent probes, many advantages of fluorescent probes for sulfite detection, such as real time imaging, simple operation, economy, fast response, non-invasive, and so on, have been gradually highlighted. In this review, we enumerated almost all the sulfite fluorescent probes over nearly a decade and summarized their respective characteristics, in order to provide a unified platform for their standardized evaluation. Meanwhile, we tried to systematically review the research progress of sulfite small-molecule fluorescent probes. Logically, we focused on the structures, reaction mechanisms, and applications of sulfite fluorescent probes. We hope that this review will be helpful for the investigators who are interested in sulfite-associated biological procedures.

Abstract
Bisulfite (HSO3-) has been widely used as an important food additive in daily life. Furthermore, a normal amount of HSO3- plays a significant role in biological systems. However, excessive intake of HSO3- will lead to a variety of diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an efficient fluorescent probe that can be used for detection of HSO3- in biological systems and food samples. In this work, a near-infrared (NIR) emitted fluorescent probe (SZY) based on hemicyanine dye was successfully synthesized and applied to detect HSO3- in several food samples and live animals. The proposed nucleophilic addition sensing mechanism of SZY towards HSO3- has been confirmed by 1H NMR titration, high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical computation. The HSO3--induced nucleophilic reaction with α,β-unsaturated C=C binding of SZY results in the dramatic decline of the UV-vis absorption and remarkable quenching of the fluorescence emission. SZY features the advantages of near infrared emission (centered at 720 nm), high water solubility (in 98% aqueous solution), fast response time (50 s), large Stokes shift (244 nm) and low cytotoxicity. The probe SZY was successfully applied to image of HSO3- in live nude mouse and adult zebrafish. Semi-quantitatively analyzing the HSO3- level by "naked eye" in several food samples including canned fruit, white wine, white sugar and jasmine tea drinks has been realized by the colorimetric method.

Abstract
Monitoring of cysteine (Cys) is of significant importance for studying Cys-involved biological functions and clinically diagnosing Cys-related diseases. Recently, few fluorescent probes with two different reacting sites were reported to be capable of sensing different concentration ranges of Cys with distinct fluorescence signals, particularly suiting for bioimaging. However, due to relative sophisticated synthesis and moderate selectivity, the applications of these probes were still severely restricted. In this work, we proposed a novel probe design strategy by utilizing two same reacting groups, instead of two different reacting groups, to simplify the synthesis route and minimize the interference from competing species. Same reacting groups in a probe with different steric hindrances could exhibit different reactivities to Cys. This probe showed distinguishable fluorescence peak wavelengths towards low and high concentration ranges of Cys, giving green and blue emissions, respectively. Moreover, this probe was successfully applied for monitoring of Cys concentration in living cells. We believe this work provided a simpler strategy for dual-site fluorescent probes to sense difference concentration ranges of Cys, which may inspire more probe design in future.

Abstract
Abnormal concentrations of biothiols such as cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione are associated with various major diseases. In biological systems, the structural similarity and functional distinction of these three small molecular thiols has not only required rigorous molecular design of the fluorescent probes used to detect each thiol specifically, but it has also inspired scientists to uncover the ambiguous biological relationships between these bio-thiols. In this minireview, we will discuss the evolution of small organic molecular fluorescent probes for the detection of thiols over the past 60 years, highlighting the potent methodologies used in the design of thiol probes and their particular applications in the semi-quantification of cellular thiols and real-time labelling. At the same time, the present challenges that limit their further application will be discussed. We hope that this minireview will promote future research to enable deeper insight into the crucial role of thiols in biological systems. The chronological evolution of small organic molecular fluorescent probes for thiols: from separation dependency analysis to cellular specific analysis, what's next?![]()

Abstract
Understanding cellular metabolism holds immense potential for developing new drugs that regulate metabolic pathways. Two gas signal molecules, SO2 and H2S, are the main metabolites from cysteine (Cys) via oxidation and desulfurization pathways, respectively. However, a few fluorescent probes for real-time monitor of the metabolic pathways of cysteine have been reported. To understand metabolic alterations of cysteine, we have rationally designed and prepared a dual-signal fluorescent probe HN, which could differentiate SO2 and H2S through two different fluorescence channels simultaneously, along with similar reaction kinetics and both "off-on" fluorescence responses. Probe HN exhibits the potential to monitor the metabolism pathways of cysteine, and the distinguishment of cancer cells from normal cells could be realized. This methodology will promote further understanding of the physiological and pathological roles of cysteine.

Abstract
In recent years, it has become a trend to employ organic molecular fluorescent probes with multireaction sites for the distinguishable detection and biological imaging of similar substances. However, the introduction of multireaction sites brought great challenges to organic synthesis, and at the same time, often destroyed the conjugated structure of the molecules, leading to an unsatisfactory fluorescence emission wavelength not conducive to practical application. As the eternal theme of life, metabolism goes on all the time. Metabolism is a series of ordered chemical reactions that occurs in the organism to maintain life. Chemical reactions in metabolism can be summarized as metabolic pathways. Simultaneous monitoring of different metabolic pathways of the same substance poses a lofty challenge to the probe. Here, we developed a new strategy: to construct new sites through the preliminary reactions between probes and some targets, which can be used to further distinguish among targets or detect their metabolites, so as to realize the simultaneous visualization tracer of multiple metabolic pathways. By intravenous injection, it revealed that the probe containing benzopyrylium ion can target tumors efficiently, and thiols are highly expressed in tumors compared to other tissues (heart, lung, kidney, liver, etc.). The consumption of thiols by the probe could not prevent tumor growth, suggesting that the tumor cure was not correlated with thiol concentration. The construction of new sites in the reaction process is a novel idea in the pursuit of multiple reaction sites, which will provide more effective tools for solving practical problems.

Abstract
As an important biothiol in living cells, cysteine is closely related to oxidative damage in living organisms. Sulfite from cysteine metabolism in living cells plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in an organism, and the unbalance of sulfite in vivo would lead to multiple diseases. Thus the development of a new fluorescent probe for cysteine metabolism is needed urgently in mitochondria which are the main place of cysteine metabolism. Herein we construct a novel targeting mitochondria fluorescent probe CP-K based on the FRET mechanism to visualize sulfite in living MCF-7 cells. Probe CP-K displays a large Stokes shift of 150 nm, a low detection limit (26.3 nM) and "naked eye" detection after the addition of HSO3-. Importantly, it is appropriate for imaging the endogenous sulfite from cysteine metabolism in living cells.

Abstract
The cellular redox balance plays a significant role in cell fate decisions and in the regulation of responses to various kinds of stress. In this study, we defined a novel concept of the oxidative-redox metabolome, and established a method for the simultaneous quantification of 23 metabolites involved in the oxidative-redox metabolome, covering NAD+ pathway, FAD pathway, GSSG pathway, and ATP pathway by using the AB SCIEX 5500 QTRAP LC/MS/MS system. Corresponding oxidative-redox metabolomics analysis was performed in plasma of humans, hamsters and mice, and hamsters were demonstrated to display a stronger resemblance than mice to humans. The known reductant dithiothreitol (DTT) and oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were selected to treat A549 and HeLa cells to validate the current method, showing that DTT moderately increased while H2O2 greatly decreased most analytes. Antibiotic treatment may disturb the oxidative-redox balance in vivo. By comparing the oxidative-redox metabolome in antibiotic-fed hamsters with that of control hamsters, we demonstrated a substantial metabolic disparity between the two, further verifying the applicability and reliability of our method.

Abstract
A new ratiometric fluorescent strategy for detection of alizarin red (ARS) was designed based on the fluorescence of CDs and scattered light of scatterer. The CDs-ARS system can be used to detect Pb2+ based on that the complexation between ARS and Pb2+. With the addition of ARS, the fluorescence of CDs was apparently quenched via inner filter effect (IFE). Resonance Rayleigh Scattering (RRS) at 350 nm was enhanced by an increase in the number of scatterer. The value of ln(I350/I425) was linearly correlated with ARS concentration in the range of 0-80 μM, and the detection limit for ARS was calculated to be 68.1 nM. When Pb2+ was added to the CDs-ARS system, the complexation of ARS with Pb2+ increased the size of the scatterer, resulting in the increase of the RRS intensity at 350 nm. Due to the affinity between ARS and Pb2+, the overlap of the emission spectra of CDs and the absorption spectra of ARS was reduced, resulting in the IFE effect was inhibited and the recovery of the fluorescence of CDs. The value of I350/I425 linearly increased with the addition of Pb2+ within the range of 10-50 μM, the limit of detection was 36.8 nM. As for practical application, CDs and CDs-ARS were applied to detect ARS and Pb2+ in tap water and poor water, respectively. The recovery values were obtained to be 95.4-98.8% and 93.4-101.7%. Furthermore, the system of CDs-ARS has been successfully applied to H1299 cell imaging.

Abstract
In living cells, cysteine (Cys) and bisulfite are involved in many important physiological processes. Their unbalance in vivo would lead to multiple diseases. So, it is vital to develop difuntional sensor for Cys and bisulfite. As we known, cysteine could metabolized into bisulfite by the metabolic processes of cysteine in the animal level. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targeted long-wavelength ratio fluorescence sensor Z2 for Cys and bisulfite simultaneous detection. Z2 exhibitted excellent selectivity, good anti-interference, fast response and low detection limit. The sensor exhibited obviously two channels fluorescence response for Cys and bisulfite orderly. Z2 is widely used for imaging Cys and bisulfite in MCF-7 cells, zebrafish, and mice, and successfully imaging Cys metabolism in these livings. We hope this bifunctional ratio fluorescence sensor Z2 will be a useful tool to monitor Cys and SO2 levels in living systems.

Abstract
The sensitive and on-site detection of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is in great demand in the fields of food safety and environmental protection. Here, we developed a novel upconversion nanoprobe based on the luminescence energy transfer mechanism for monitoring the atmospheric SO2 concentrations. The lanthanide emitters, Tm3+ ions, were optimized to be doped on the surface layer of the upconversion nanoparticles to improve their energy transfer efficiency by minimizing the distance between the emitters and the surface quencher, a cyanine dye. As a proof-of-concept, the optimal nanoprobe was utilized to detect SO2 water derivatives, bisulfite ions, exhibiting a linear luminescence increase in the range of 1 nM to 10 nM. Furthermore, we assembled the cyanine-modified upconversion nanoparticles onto a test paper, and used a smartphone-based detection platform to achieve portable and visual detection of SO2. The test paper showed a strong luminescence stability, homogeneity and good anti-interference. The limit of detection for SO2 gas was found to be 1 ng L-1. This novel upconversion test paper was also demonstrated to directly monitor the concentration of SO2 gas in atmosphere.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) had been recognized as an environmental pollutant produced from industrial processes. SO2 is water soluble and forms hydrated SO2 (SO2·H2O), bisulfite ion (HSO3-), and sulfite ion (SO32-) upon dissolution in water. SO2 could be also produced endogenously from sulfur-containing amino acids l-cysteine in mammals. Endogenous SO2 can maintain the balance of biological sulfur and redox equilibrium in vivo, regulate blood insulin levels and reduce blood pressure. Excess intake of exogenous SO2 can result in respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. As a result, fluorescent probes to detect HSO3-/SO32- have attracted great attention in recent years. Herein, a general overview was provided with the aim to highlight the typical examples of the HSO3-/SO32- fluorescent probes reported since 2010, especially those in the past five years. We have classified HSO3-/SO32- fluorescent probes through different chemical reaction mechanisms and wish this review will give some help to the researchers in this field.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays a variety of vital functions in biological systems. Growth-associated change of GSH level in cells might be critical for cell survival and monitoring of GSH in living cells are of great significance for understanding the dynamic link between GSH and some diseases. In this work, chitason micelles templated gold nanoclusters (CM-Au NCs) emitting red fluorescence were prepared with a simple and rapid method, which shows interesting phenomenon of aggregation induced emission (AIE) affected by the size of the chitosan micelles. The unique CM-Au NCs can be used to develop turn-off fluorescent probe for detecting GSH in human serum and living cells based on the reverse process of AIE of CM-Au NCs, completely different from the principle of aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect, which can distinguish GSH from other biothiols (cysteine and homocysteine) and quantitatively detect GSH concentration of human serum in healthy people and cancer patients with high sensitivity. The practical application of fluorescent CM-Au NCs for cellular imaging and detecting GSH level indicates ultra-trace changes of GSH levels in normal and cancer cells could be monitored at different growth stages, which reveals that the levels of GSH in cancer cells was always higher than that of normal cells. Compared with commercial GSH assay kits for detection GSH in human serum and living cells, the proposed method was verified to be accuracy and precision. The results not only reflect the changes of GSH during cell growth at different stages, but also demonstrate the feasibility of reverse process of AIE of CM-Au NCs for detection GSH. This strategy would provide a platform to understand the dynamic link between GSH and disease to clarify the disease mechanism.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a multi-signal mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe (NIR-Cys) for simultaneous detection of Cys and its metabolite, SO2. In the design of the probe, the acrylate group and the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C of the coumarin ring were used as the recognizing moiety for Cys and SO2, respectively. The probe exhibited high sensitivity, excellent specificity, and fast response. NIR-Cys was found to precisely target and visualize Cys metabolism in mitochondria of living cells with a multi-fluorescence signal. This probe is expected to be a useful tool for understanding Cys metabolism.
