Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) acts as a repository and transporter of substances in the blood. An abnormal concentration may indicate the occurrence of liver- and kidney-related diseases, which has attracted people to investigate the precise quantification of HSA in body fluids. Fluorescent probes can combine with HSA covalently or noncovalently to quantify HSA in urine and plasma. Moreover, probes combined with HSA can improve its photophysical properties; probe-HSA has been applied in real-time monitoring and photothermal and photodynamic therapy in vivo. This Review will introduce fluorescent probes for quantitative HSA according to the three reaction mechanisms of spatial structure, enzymatic reaction, and self-assembly and systematically introduce the application of probes combined with HSA in disease imaging and phototherapy. It will help develop multifunctional applications for HSA probes and provide assistance in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Multi-targets detection has obtained much attention because this sensing mode can realize the detection of multi-targets simultaneously, which is helpful for biomedical analysis. Carbon nanoparticles have attracted extensive attention due to their superior optical and chemical properties, but there are few reports about red emission carbon nanoparticles for simultaneous detection of multi-targets. In this paper, a red emission fluorescent carbon nanoparticles were prepared by 1, 2, 4-triaminobenzene dihydrochloride at room temperature. The as-prepared red emission fluorescent carbon nanoparticles exhibited strong emission peak located at 635 nm with an absolute quantum yield up to 24%. They showed excellent solubility, high photostability and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, it could sensitively and selectively response to hypochlorite and pH, thus simultaneous detection of hypochlorite and pH was achieved by combining the red emission fluorescent carbon nanoparticles with computational chemistry. The formation mechanisms of red emission fluorescent carbon nanoparticles and their response to hypochlorite and pH were investigated, respectively.

Abstract
As a carcinogenic substance, high dose of formaldehyde exposure may lead to poisoning and even death. Long-term exposure to low doses of formaldehyde can harm human skin, respiratory organs and immune system. Therefore, it is vital to detect formaldehyde content in real time. In this paper, a simple method for the determination of formaldehyde based on fluorometry and colorimetry was established in the range of 0-1.92 mg·mL-1. A fluorescence protein nanoparticles (BSA NPs) was prepared utlizing bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the raw material. Based on the silver mirror reaction, silver nanoparticles can be generated from the reaction between BSA NPs combined with polyethylenimide (PEI) and silver ion (Ag+) ions complex (BSA NPs-PEI-Ag) and formaldehyde. The fluorescent detection principle for formaldehyde was based on the fluorescence queching of BSA NPs-PEI-Ag system at 514 nm upon the reduction of Ag+ ions by formaldehyde. The colorimetric detection principle for formaldehyde was based on the enhancement of absorption band of BSA NPs-PEI-Ag system at 460 nm and color changes along with the generation of silver nanoparticles after the addition of formaldehyde. The proposed method was succesfully used for formaldehyde detection in real water sample with the recovery range of 106-110%.

Abstract
Rspos (R-spondins) belong to a family of secreted proteins that causes various cancers via interacting the corresponding receptors. However, targeted therapeutic approaches against Rspos are largely lacking. In this study, a chimeric protein Rspo-targeting anticancer chimeric protein (RTAC) is originally designed, engineered, and characterized. RTAC shows satisfactory anticancer effects through inhibition of pan-Rspo-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, a conceptually novel antitumor strategy distinct from traditional drug delivery systems that release drugs inside tumor cells is proposed. A special "firewall" nano-system is designed to enrich on tumor cell surface and cover the plasma membrane, rather than undergoing endocytosis, to block oncogenic Rspos from binding to receptors. Cyclic RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptide-linked globular cluster serum albumin nanoparticles (SANP) are integrated as a vehicle for conjugating RTAC (SANP-RTAC/RGD) for tumor tissue targeting. These nanoparticles can adhere to the tumor cell surface and enable RTAC to locally capture free Rspos with high spatial efficiency and selectivity to antagonize cancer progression. Therefore, this approach offers a new nanomedical anticancer route and obtains the "dual-targeting" capability for effective tumor clearance and low potential toxicity. This study presents a proof-of-concept for anti-pan-Rspo therapy and a nanoparticle-integrated paradigm for targeted cancer treatment.

Abstract
The modification of protein-stabilized gold nanoclusters with fluorophores has been intensively applied for the ratiometric detection of biomolecules, metal ions, and anions. This study developed a straightforward strategy to prepare lysozyme nanoparticle-encapsulated gold nanoclusters (LysNP-AuNCs) as a dual-emission probe for the ratiometric sensing of cyanide through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) without the conjugation of additional fluorophores. The reduction of gold ion precursors with lysozyme generated lysozyme-stabilized AuNCs under an alkaline pH, which were demonstrated to self-assemble into nanoaggregates during the formation of AuNCs. The aggregated lysozyme molecules on the AuNCs were treated with glutaraldehyde, triggering the conversion of the aggregated lysozymes into blue-emitting lysozyme nanoparticles. As a result, the AuNCs were well distributed inside a single lysozyme nanoparticle, as demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy. The presence of cyanide triggered the etching of the AuNCs in the LysNP-AuNCs, leading to the suppression of FRET from lysozyme nanoparticle to AuNCs. The LysNP-AuNC probe was implemented for FRET detection of cyanide with a linear range of 3-100 μM. Additionally, the selectivity of the LysNP-AuNC probe for cyanide toward other anions was remarkably high. The practicality of the proposed probe was evaluated by quantifying cyanide in tap water and soils and monitoring the liberation of hydrogen cyanide from cyanogenic glycoside-containing foods.

Abstract
Forming a stable complex is a prerequisite for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) probe to recognize proteins. Herein, a human serum albumin (HSA) structure-based fluorescent probe DNPM was fabricated successfully with fully considering its binding to the primary sites in HSA. Molecular simulation was used to assist the probe design. Two ICT ligands DNPM and MPM were initially designed. Both DNPM and MPM had favorable HSA binding abilities, but only DNPM had a satisfactory HSA sensitivity. Electromagnetic coupling played a key role in DNPM fluorescence enhancement. Due to the electromagnetic environment difference in protein structure, DNPM only exhibited strong sensitivity to serum albumins. DNPM could bind to Sudlow site I and site II in HSA but could not be displaced from its binding sites by common site specific drugs (e.g. phenylbutazone and ibuprofen). Besides, DNPM exhibited great potential for illumining serum albumin in living cells. The results provided a beneficial approach for designing and synthesizing high sensitive and selective fluorescent probes for proteins.

Abstract
Engineering highly sensitive nanomaterials to monitor spatiotemporal pH changes has rather broad applications in studying various biological systems. Intraoral/biofilm-tooth pH is the single parameter that has demonstrated accurate assessment of dental caries risk, reflecting the summative integrated outcome of the complicated interactions between three etiological factors, namely, microorganisms/biofilm, diet/carbohydrates, and tooth/saliva/host. However, there is little to no technology/system capable of accurately probing simultaneously both the micro-pH profiles in dentin tissues and acidogenic oral biofilms and examining the pathophysiologic acid attacks with high spatial/temporal resolution. Therefore, a highly sensitive pH-responsive hybrid nanoparticle (pH-NP) is developed and coupled with an ex vivo tooth-biofilm caries model to simulate and study the key cariogenic determinants/steps. The pH-NP emits two distinct fluorescences with mutually inversely proportional intensities that vary accordingly to the proximity pH and with a ratiometric output sensitivity of 13.4-fold across a broad clinically relevant pH range of 3.0-8.0. Using [H+], in addition to pH, to calculate the "area-under-curve" corroborates the "minimum-pH" in semiquantifying the demineralizing potential in each biofilm-dentin zones/depth. The data mechanistically elucidates a two-pronged cariogenic effect of a popular-acidic-sweet-drink, in inundating the biofilm/tooth-system with H+ ions from both the drink and the metabolic byproducts of the biofilm.

Abstract
A sensor array mimicking a chemical nose/tongue based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSANsn) has been developed for the fluorescence pattern recognition of metal ions in biofluids. Three types of BSANsn (BSANs10, BSANs20, and BSANs40) show the same excitation/emission peak at 478/526 nm. According to the differential fluorescence variation, the sensor array shows particular fluorescence response patterns depending upon metal ions. Upon principal component analysis (PCA), it was found that the sensor array can distinguish 18 metal ions clearly at a concentration of as low as 10 μM. Moreover, different concentrations of metal ions and mixed metal ions of diverse kinds or valence states can be differentiated by the sensor in biofluids. In addition, the results were well consistent with those obtained with the traditional ICP-AES method.

Abstract
Human serum albumin or simply called albumin is a flexible protein employed as a carrier in the fabrication of albumin-based nanocarriers (ANCs) for the administration of cancer therapeutics. Albumin can contribute enhanced tumour specificity, reduced drug induced cytotoxicity and retain concentration of the therapeutically active agent such as drug, peptide, protein, and gene for a prolonged time duration. Nevertheless, apart from cancer management, ANCs are also employed in the diagnosis, imaging, and multimodal cancer therapy. This article figures out salient characteristics, design as well as categories of ANCs in the context of their application in cancer management. In addition, this review article discusses the fabrication methods of ANCs, use of ANCs in gene, cancer, and multimodal therapy along with cancer diagnosis and imaging. Lastly, this review also briefly discusses about (ANCs) formulations, commercial products, and those under clinical testing.

[PMID: 33647407 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2021.120422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The desolvation technique is one of the most popular methods for preparing protein nanoparticles for medicine, biotechnology, and food applications. We fabricated 11 batches of BSA nanoparticles and 2 batches of gelatin nanoparticles by desolvation method. BSA nanoparticles from 2 batches were cross-linked by heating at +70 °C for 2 h; other nanoparticles were stabilized by glutaraldehyde. We compared several analytical approaches to measuring their concentration: gravimetric analysis, bicinchoninic acid assay, Bradford assay, and alkaline hydrolysis combined with UV spectroscopy. We revealed that the cross-linking degree and method of cross-linking affect both Bradford and BCA assay. Direct measurement of protein concentration in the suspension of purified nanoparticles by dye-binding assays can lead to significant (up to 50-60%) underestimation of nanoparticle concentration. Quantification of non-desolvated protein (indirect method) is affected by the presence of small nanoparticles in supernatants and can be inaccurate when the yield of desolvation is low. The reaction of cross-linker with protein changes UV absorbance of the latter. Therefore pure protein solution is an inappropriate calibrator when applying UV spectroscopy for the determination of nanoparticle concentration. Our recommendation is to determine the concentration of protein nanoparticles by at least two different methods, including gravimetric analysis.

Abstract
This is the first comprehensive review on methods and materials for use in optical sensing of pH values and on applications of such sensors. The Review starts with an introduction that contains subsections on the definition of the pH value, a brief look back on optical methods for sensing of pH, on the effects of ionic strength on pH values and pKa values, on the selectivity, sensitivity, precision, dynamic ranges, and temperature dependence of such sensors. Commonly used optical sensing schemes are covered in a next main chapter, with subsections on methods based on absorptiometry, reflectometry, luminescence, refractive index, surface plasmon resonance, photonic crystals, turbidity, mechanical displacement, interferometry, and solvatochromism. This is followed by sections on absorptiometric and luminescent molecular probes for use pH in sensors. Further large sections cover polymeric hosts and supports, and methods for immobilization of indicator dyes. Further and more specific sections summarize the state of the art in materials with dual functionality (indicator and host), nanomaterials, sensors based on upconversion and 2-photon absorption, multiparameter sensors, imaging, and sensors for extreme pH values. A chapter on the many sensing formats has subsections on planar, fiber optic, evanescent wave, refractive index, surface plasmon resonance and holography based sensor designs, and on distributed sensing. Another section summarizes selected applications in areas, such as medicine, biology, oceanography, bioprocess monitoring, corrosion studies, on the use of pH sensors as transducers in biosensors and chemical sensors, and their integration into flow-injection analyzers, microfluidic devices, and lab-on-a-chip systems. An extra section is devoted to current challenges, with subsections on challenges of general nature and those of specific nature. A concluding section gives an outlook on potential future trends and perspectives.

Abstract
Bone regeneration has attracted extensive attention in the field of regenerative medicine. The influence of biomaterial on the extracellular environment is important for regulating the biological functions of cells for tissue regeneration. Among the various influencing factors, we had previously demonstrated that the extracellular pH value in the local microenvironment during biomaterial degradation affected the balance of bone formation and resorption. However, there is a lack of techniques for conveniently detecting the pH of the extracellular environment. In light of the development of fluorescent pH-sensing probes, herein, we fabricated a novel ratiometric fluorescent microgel (F-MG) for real-time and spatiotemporal monitoring of microenvironment pH. F-MGs were prepared from polyurethane with a size of around 75 μm by loading with pH-sensitive bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BNPs) and pH-insensitive Nile red as a reference. The pH probes exhibited reversible fluorescence response to pH change and worked in a linear range of 6-10. F-MGs were biocompatible and could be used for long-term pH detection. It could be used to map interfacial pH on biomaterials during their degradation through pseudocolored images formed by the fluorescence intensity ratio between the green fluorescence of BNPs and the red fluorescence of Nile red. This study provided a useful tool for studying the influence of biomaterial microenvironment on biological functions of surrounding cells.

Abstract
Fluorescent carbon based-nanoparticles are one of the emerging nanomaterials. Their preparation is relatively simple, rapid and inexpensive, and they are less toxic compared with metal and semiconductor nanoparticles. Here, we report a simple and reliable method to prepare water-soluble fluorescent carbon nanoparticles (FC-NPs) from nanoparticles made from a protein, bovine serum albumin. The obtained mean size of our carbon nanoparticles is between 3.8 and 3.4 nm, and they exhibit its maximum fluorescence emission at 424 and 408 nm respectively (with a reasonable QY of 16.5%) due to the presence of functional groups (NH, NH2, COOH and OH) that contain O and N; the presence of these functional groups was confirmed by FTIR and XPS analysis. The photoluminescent decay lifetime was modeled by a two exponential fit which indicates a contribution from both core and surface states. Also, the preliminary results showed that FC-NPs had a good interaction with HeLa and normal oral epithelial cells; nanoparticles were permeable at the cell membrane and went to the cytosol, and even to the nucleus, in less than 30 min, the fluorescence images of our preliminary results did not show any apparent toxic damage in any of the cell lines.

Abstract
Intracellular detection is highly desirable for biological research and clinical diagnosis, yet its quantitative analysis with noninvasivity, sensitivity, and accuracy remains challenging. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) dual-excitation strategy is reported for ratiometric intracellular detection through the design of dye-sensitized upconversion probes and employment of a purpose-built NIR dual-laser confocal microscope. NIR dye IR808, a recognizer of intracellular analyte hypochlorite, is introduced as energy donor and Yb,Er-doped NaGdF4 upconversion nanoparticles are adopted as energy acceptor in the as-designed nanoprobes. The efficient analyte-dependent energy transfer and low background luminescence endow the nanoprobes with ultrahigh sensitivity. In addition, with the nonanalyte-dependent upconversion luminescence (UCL) excited by 980 nm as a self-calibrated signal, the interference from environmental fluctuation can be alleviated. Furthermore, the dual 808/980 nm excited ratiometric UCL is demonstrated for the quantification of the level of intracellular hypochlorite. Particularly, the intrinsic hypochlorite with only nanomolar concentration in live MCF-7 cells in the absence of exogenous stimuli is determined. Such an NIR dual-excitation ratiometric strategy based on dye-sensitized UCL probes can be easily extended to detect various intracellular analytes through tailoring the reactive NIR dyes, which provides a promising tool for probing biochemical processes in live cells and diagnosing diseases.

Abstract
Carbon dots (C-dots) were used to study the binding mechanisms with serum protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) by using two notable binding systems known as non-covalent and covalent interaction. Interaction between C-dots and BSA were estimated by Stern-Volmer equation and Double Log Regression Model (DLRM). According to the fluorescent intensity, quenching of model carrier protein by C-dots was due to dynamic quenching for non-covalent and static quenching for covalent binding. The binding site constant, KA and number of binding site, for covalent interaction is 1754.7L/mol and n≈1 (0.6922) were determined by DLRM on fluorescence quenching results. The blue shift of the fluorescence spectrum, from 450nm to 421nm (non-covalent) and 430nm (covalent) and suggested that both the microenvironment of C-dots and protein changed in relation to the protein concentration. The fluorescence intensity results show that protein structure has a significant role in Protein-C-dots interactions and type of binding influence physicochemical properties of C-dots differently. Understanding to this bio interface is important to utilize both quantum dots and biomolecules for biomedical field. It can be a useful guideline to design further applications in biomedical and bioimaging.

Abstract
Albumin nanovectors represent one of the most promising carriers recently generated because of the cost-effectiveness of their fabrication, biocompatibility, safety, and versatility in delivering hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutics and diagnostic agents. In this review, we describe and discuss the recent advances in how this technology has been harnessed for drug delivery in cancer, evaluating the commonly used synthesis protocols and considering the key factors that determine the biological transport and the effectiveness of such technology. With this in mind, we highlight how clinical and experimental albumin-based delivery nanoplatforms may be designed for tackling tumor progression or improving the currently established diagnostic procedures.

Abstract
As one of the super-resolved optical imaging techniques, single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) received considerable attention due to its impressive spatial resolution. Compared with other fluorescence imaging techniques, SMLM has one particular request for the fluorophores, that is, continuous 'on' and 'off' behaviors of their signals (referred to as 'blinking'). Hence, we present here a kind of super blinking and biocompatible nanoprobes (denoted as SBNs) for SMLM. The SBNs have two main advantages, first, they possess an outstanding fluorescence blinking. Second, they are biocompatible since they are based on bovine serum albumin (BSA). The SBNs are fabricated by doping organic dyes into BSA nanoparticles. We fabricated two kinds of SBNs, one was doped with Alexa Fluor 647 (A647) and the other was doped with Alexa Fluor 594 (A594). Especially for A594 doped SBNs, the improved blinking of A594 doped SBNs induced a better localization precision as compared with A594 alone. Moreover, SMLM imaging of breast cancer cells and exosomes using the SBNs was successfully realized with high spatial resolutions. The work demonstrated here provides a new strategy to prepare novel kinds of super blinking fluorescent agents for SMLM, which broadens the selection of suitable fluorophores for SMLM.

Abstract
Albumin is a natural, biocompatible, biodegradable and nontoxic polymer and due to these features, nanoparticles made of albumin are a good system for drug or antigen delivery. Polymeric nanoparticles are being widely explored as new vaccines platforms due to the capacity of those nanoparticles to prime the immune system by providing sustained release of the antigen after injection. Biodegradable nanoparticles associated with proteins represent a promising method for in vivo delivery of vaccines. In our previous studies, bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA-NPs) were identified as a promising system for in vivo delivery of microbial antigens. The aim of this work was to show the effect of BSA-NPs on skin after nanoparticles administration. The pro-inflammatory activity of BSA-NPs was evaluated using in vivo models. BSA-NPs are easily uptake by macrophagic RAW 264.7 and BHK-21 cells without any significant cytotoxicity. Histological examination of skin sections from BSA-NPs-treated mice revealed intense cellular infiltration, increased skin thickness, follicular hypertrophy, vascular congestion and marked collagenesis. Mice immunized with recombinant non-structural protein 1 (rNS1) from Dengue virus 1 and BSA-NPs showed a high seroconversion rate if compared to animals immunized only with rNS1. Therefore, the effect of BSA-NPs on skin after BSA-NPs administration has a biotechnological relevance to the rational design of vaccine formulations based on albumin nanocarriers. However in the next years future studies should be carried out to best characterize the effect of BSA-NPs on dendritic cells and establish the role of these nanoparticles as a new vaccine platform for infectious diseases or cancer.

Abstract
Macroporous bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles with controllable diameter were readily fabricated in a rapidly rotating angled glass tube in a vortex fluidic device (VFD). Systematically varying the rotational speed and the ratio of BSA, ethanol, and glutaraldehyde led to conditions for generating ca. 600 nm diameter macroporous particles that have intrinsic fluorescence emission at 520 nm when excited at 490 nm. The presence of the macropores increased the absorption efficiency of rhodamine B with potential applications for drug delivery purpose, compared with BSA nanoparticles having surfaces devoid of pores. Further control over the size of BSA nanoparticles occurred in the presence of C-phycocyanin protein during the VFD processing, along with control of their shape, from spheres to pockets, as established in exploring the parameter space of the microfluidic device.

Abstract
The cellular uptake efficiency of nanostructures has been demonstrated to be highly dependent on the surface charge, size and shape although the cellular internalization process is still far from being well-understood. In this work, a series of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with different morphologies and surface coatings were prepared to explore the influence of surface charge and morphology on the cellular internalization process with single-particle fluorescence microscopy. It is found that the higher the surface charge and larger the surface-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles, the more efficient the cellular uptake will be. Particularly, the surface charge is demonstrated to be the primary influence factor for small sized nanoparticles on the cellular uptake process. By blocking the endocytosis routes with temperature modulation (from 37 to 4 °C) or introduction of chemical inhibitors (dynasore and genistein), multiplexed mechanisms are found to be involved in the cellular uptake process, including clathrin- and caveolae-mediated endocytosis, physical adhesion and penetration, and so on. Moreover, in the aspect of size effect, an energy-dependent endocytosis process plays a more important role for larger size particles. In short, this study presents a pattern of cellular internalization pathway for the nanoparticles with different morphologies and surface charges, which would provide useful information for the development of robust drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Exploring and understanding biological and pathological changes are of great significance for early diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Optical sensing and imaging approaches have experienced major progress in this field. Particularly, an emergence of various functional optical nanoprobes has provided enhanced sensitivity, specificity, targeting ability, as well as multiplexing and multimodal capabilities due to improvements in their intrinsic physicochemical and optical properties. However, one of the biggest challenges of conventional optical nanoprobes is their absolute intensity-dependent signal readout, which causes inaccurate sensing and imaging results due to the presence of various analyte-independent factors that can cause fluctuations in their absolute signal intensity. Ratiometric measurements provide built-in self-calibration for signal correction, enabling more sensitive and reliable detection. Optimizing nanoprobe designs with ratiometric strategies can surmount many of the limitations encountered by traditional optical nanoprobes. This review first elaborates upon existing optical nanoprobes that exploit ratiometric measurements for improved sensing and imaging, including fluorescence, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photoacoustic nanoprobes. Next, a thorough discussion is provided on design strategies for these nanoprobes, and their potential biomedical applications for targeting specific biomolecule populations (e.g. cancer biomarkers and small molecules with physiological relevance), for imaging the tumor microenvironment (e.g. pH, reactive oxygen species, hypoxia, enzyme and metal ions), as well as for intraoperative image guidance of tumor-resection procedures.

Abstract
In this paper, we report synthesis and characterization of a novel multimodality (MRI/fluorescence) probe for pH sensing and imaging. A multifunctional polymer was derived from poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide) (PHPMA) and integrated with a naphthalimide-based-ratiometric fluorescence probe and a gadolinium-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid complex (Gd-DOTA complex). The polymer was characterized using UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectrofluorophotometry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and confocal microscopy for optical and MRI-based pH sensing and cellular imaging. In vitro labeling of macrophage J774 and esophageal CP-A cell lines shows the polymer's ability to be internalized in the cells. The transverse relaxation time (T2) of the polymer was observed to be pH-dependent, whereas the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) was not. The pH probe in the polymer shows a strong fluorescence-based ratiometric pH response with emission window changes, exhibiting blue emission under acidic conditions and green emission under basic conditions, respectively. This study provides new materials with multimodalities for pH sensing and imaging.

Abstract
Biosafety is the primary concern in clinical translation of nanomedicine. As an intrinsic ingredient of human blood without immunogenicity and encouraged by its successful clinical application in Abraxane, albumin has been regarded as a promising material to produce nanoparticles for bioimaging and drug delivery. The strategies for synthesizing albumin-based nanoparticles could be generally categorized into five classes: template, nanocarrier, scaffold, stabilizer and albumin-polymer conjugate. This review introduces approaches utilizing albumin in the preparation of nanoparticles and thereby provides scientists with knowledge of goal-driven design on albumin-based nanomedicine.

Abstract
Autophagy and apoptosis are closely associated with various pathological and physiological processes in cell cycles. Investigating the dynamic changes of intracellular active molecules in autophagy and apoptosis is of great significance for clarifying their inter-relationship and regulating mechanism in many diseases. In this study, we develop a dual-ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe for quantitatively differentiating the dynamic process of superoxide anion (O2•-) and pH changes in autophagy and apoptosis in HeLa cells. A rhodamine B-loaded mesoporous silica core was used as the reference, and fluorescence probes for pH and O2•- measurement were doped in the outer layer shell of SiO2. Then, chitosan and triphenylphosphonium were modified on the surface of SiO2. The experimental results showed that the nanoprobe is able to simultaneously and precisely visualize the changes of mitochondrial O2•- and pH in HeLa cells. The kinetics data revealed that the changes of pH and O2•- during autophagy and apoptosis in HeLa cells were significantly different. The pH value was decreased at the early stage of apoptosis and autophagy, whereas the O2•- level was enhanced at the early stage of apoptosis and almost unchanged at the initial stage of autophagy. At the late stage of apoptosis and autophagy, the concentration of O2•- was increased, whereas the pH was decreased at the late stage of autophagy and almost unchanged at the late stage of apoptosis. We hope that the present results provide useful information for studying the effects of O2•- and pH in autophagy and apoptosis in various pathological conditions and diseases.
