Abstract
The combination of small-interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing and chemotherapeutic agents for lung cancer treatment has attracted widespread attention in terms of a greater therapeutic effect, minimization of systemic toxicity, and inhibition of multiple drug resistance (MDR). In this work, three amphiphiles, CBN1-CBN3, were first designed and synthesized as a camptothecin (CPT) conjugate and gene condensation agents by the combination of CPT prodrugs and di(triazole-[12]aneN3) through the ROS-responsive phenylborate ester and different lengths of alkyl chains (with 6, 9, 12 carbon chains for CBN1-CBN3, respectively). CBN1-CBN3 were able to be self-assembled into liposomes with an average diameter in the range of 320-240 nm, showing the ability to effectively condense siRNA. Among them, CBN2, with a nine-carbon alkyl chain, displayed the best anticancer efficiency in A549 cells. In order to give nanomedicines a stealth property and PEGylation/dePEGylation transition, a GSH-responsive PEGylated TPE derivative containing a disulfide linkage (TSP) was further designed and prepared. A combination of CBN2/siRNA complexes and DOPE with TSP resulted in GSH/ROS dual-responsive lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (CBN2-DP/siRNA NPs). In present GSH and H2O2, CBN2-DP/siRNA NPs were decomposed, resulting in the controlled release of CPT drug and siRNA. In vitro, CBN2-DP/siPHB1 NPs showed the best anticancer activity for suppression of about 75% of A549 cell proliferation in a serum medium. The stability of CBN2-DP/siRNA NPs was significantly prolonged in blood circulation, and they showed effective accumulation in the A549 tumor site through an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. In vivo, CBN2-DP/siPHB1 NPs demonstrated enhanced synergistic cancer therapy efficacy and tumor inhibition as high as 71.2%. This work provided a strategy for preparing lipid-polymer hybrid NPs with GSH/ROS dual-responsive properties and an intriguing method for lung cancer therapy.

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
A novel dual-responsive nanoparticle (NP) system was aimed to be developed for the co-delivery of camptothecin (CPT) and plasmid encoding TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (pTRAIL) DNA in cancer therapy. The combination of the prodrug CPT and the nucleic acid condensing di-(triazole-[12]aneN3) unit with 4-nitrobenzyl ester through alkyl chains resulted in three nitroreductase (NTR) responsive amphiphiles, CNN1-CNN3 (with 5, 8, and 11 carbon chains, respectively). Among them, CNN2 was the most effective in inhibiting the proliferation of HeLa cells in the presence of fusogenic lipid DOPE. The NPs composed of CNN2, pDNA, and DOPE were further co-assembled with ROS-responsive thioketal-linked amphiphilic polymer (TTP) to afford the core-shell NPs (CNN2-DT/pDNA) with an average size of 118 nm, which exhibited high drug-loading capacity, excellent serum tolerance, and good biocompatibility. In the presence of ROS, NTR, and NADH, the core-shell NPs were decomposed, leading to the efficient release of 80% CPT and abundant pDNA. The self-assembly and delivery process of CNN2-DT NPs and DNA were clearly observed through the AIE fluorescent imaging. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that the CNN2-DT/pTRAIL NPs synergistically promoted 68% apoptosis of tumor cells and inhibited tumor growth with negligible toxic side effects. This study showed that the combination of prodrug and nucleic acid through dual-responsive core-shell NPs provide a spatially and temporally-controlled strategy for cancer therapy.

Stimuli-responsive aggregation-induced emission of molecular probes by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions: Effect of organic solvent content and application for probing of alkaline phosphatase activity. Talanta 2023; 265:124923. [PMID: 37433248 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023]
Abstract
We suggest that aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecular probes with single charged/reactive group can exist in the formation of nanostructures but not monomers at extremely low organic solvent content. The nanoaggregates show good dispersivity and emit week emission. Stimuli-responsive assembly of nanoaggregates by electrostatic interactions can turn on the fluorescence, facilitating the design of biosensors with single-charged molecular probes as the AIE fluorogens. To prove the concept, tetraphenylethene-substituted pyridinium salt (TPE-Py) was used as the AIE fluorogen for probing of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity with pyrophosphate ion (PPi) as the enzyme substrate. The dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscope experiments demonstrated that TPE-Py probes existed in aqueous solution at nanometer size and morphology. Stimuli such as the negatively charged PPi, citrate, ATP, ADP, NADP and DNA could trigger the aggregation of the positively charged TPE-Py nanoparticles, thus enhancing the fluorescence via AIE effect. ALP-enzymatic hydrolysis of PPi into two phosphate ions (Pi) limited the aggregation of TPE-Py nanoparticles. The strategy was used for the assay of ALP with a low detection limit (1 U/L) and wide linear range (1-200 U/L). We also investigated the effect of organic solvent content on the AIE process and found that high concentration of organic solvent can prevent the hydrophobic interaction between AIE molecules but show no essential influence on the electrostatic interaction-mediated assembly. The work should be evaluable for understanding AIE phenomenon and developing novel, simple and sensitive biosensors using a molecular probe with single charged/reactive group as the signal reporter.

Abstract
Alkyl chain-resulted odd-even effects in fluorescence quantum yield (FLQY) have also been reported in organic luminescent materials (OLMs). However, the odd-even effects in FLQY caused by the alkyl substitutes in OLMs are generally very weak, with only single-digit differences. Here, we report a series of alkyl-substituted dual-state luminogens (DSEgens) showing extremely high solid-state FLQY in even-numbered analogues (>90% FLQY) and a dramatically pronounced odd-even effect in FLQY. The odd-even effect in FLQY is over 26% alternation, and a maximum of 48% difference in FLQY was observed between the compounds C1 and C2 with a methyl and ethyl substitution, respectively. C1 and C2 also displayed a crystallochromy with a 22 nm difference in emission wavelength. In addition, odd-even effects in the melting point and decomposition temperature were also observed. With these bright DSEgens, applications such as specific recognition of picric acid and ultrasensitive trace water detection have been demonstrated.

Abstract
Although a plethora of gene carriers have been developed for potential gene therapy, imageable stimuli-responsive gene vectors with fast access to the nucleus, high biocompatibility, and transfection efficiency are still scarce. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of four dendrite-shaped cationic liposomes, MPA-HBI-R/DOPE (R: n-butyl, 1; n-octyl, 2; n-dodecyl, 3; palmyl, 4), prepared via esterification of 4-alkoxybenzylideneimidazolinone containing aliphatic chains of different lengths (HBI-R), the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore, with a di[12]aneN3 unit. Liposomes were fabricated via the self-assembly of MPA-HBI-R, assisted with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphorylethanolamine (DOPE). These liposomes (MPA-HBI-R/DOPE) exhibited efficient DNA condensation, pH-responsive degradation, excellent cellular biocompatibility (up to 150 μM), and high transfection efficiency. Molecular docking experiments were also used to verify the optimal interaction between MPA-HBI-R and DNA, as well as the fluorescence enhancements. In particular, MPA-HBI-2/DOPE delivered DNA into the nucleus in less than an hour, and its luciferase transfection activity was more than 10 times that by Lipo2000, across multiple cell lines. The GFP chromophore conjugation allowed trackable intracellular delivery and release of DNA in real time via fluorescence imaging. Furthermore, efficient red fluorescent protein (RFP) transfection in zebrafish, with an efficiency of more than 6 times that by Lipo2000, was also achieved. The results not only realized, for the first time, the combination of gene delivery and GFP-simulated light emission, allowing fluorescent tracking and highly efficient gene transfection, but also offered valuable insights into the use of biomimetic chromophore for the development of the next-generation nonviral vectors.

Abstract
Construction of multifunctional nonviral gene vectors to execute defined tasks holds great potential for the precise and effective treatment of gene-associated diseases. Herein, we have developed four large π-conjugation triphenylamine derivatives bearing two polar [12]aneN3 heads and a lipophilic tail for applications in gene delivery, one/two-photon-triggered near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence bioimaging, and combined photodynamic therapy (PDT) and gene therapy of cancer. These compounds possess typical NIR aggregation-induced emission characteristics, mega Stokes shifts, strong two-photon excitation fluorescence, and excellent DNA condensation abilities. Among them, vector 4 with a tail of n-hexadecane realized a transfection efficiency as high as 6.7 times that of the commercial transfection agent Lipofectamine 2000 in HEK293T cell lines. Using vector 4 as an example, transfection process tracking and ex vivo/in vivo tumoral imaging and retention with high resolution, high brightness, deep tissue penetration, and good biosafety were demonstrated. In addition, efficient singlet oxygen (1O2) generation by the DNA complex formed by vector 4 (4/DNA) resulted in effective PDT. Combined with anticancer gene therapy, collaborative cancer treatment with a dramatically enhanced cancer cell-killing effect was achieved. The development of this "three birds, one stone" approach suggests a new and promising strategy for better cancer treatment and real-time tracking of gene delivery.

Abstract
Two-photon fluorescent Acenaphtho[1,2-b]quinoxaline (ANQ) and the hydrophilic di-(triazole-[12]aneN3) moieties were combined through an alkyl chain (ANQ-A-M) or a β-hairpin motif with two aromatic γ-amino acid residues (ANQ-H-M) to explore their capabilities for in vitro and in vivo gene delivery and tracing. ANQ-A-M and ANQ-H-M showed the same maximum absorption at 420 nm, and their fluorescent intensities around 650 nm were varied in different solvents and became poor in the protic solvents. Gel electrophoresis assays indicated that both compounds completely retarded the migration of pDNA at 20 μM in the presence of DOPE. However, the DNA condensation with ANQ-H-M was not reversible, and the particle size of the corresponding complexes were larger indicated from the SEM and DLS measurements. In vitro transfections indicated ANQ-A-M/DOPE achieved Luciferase and GFP expressions were to be 7.9- and 5.7-fold of those by Lipo2000 in A549 cells respectively. However, ANQ-H-M showed very poor transfection efficiency in Luciferase expression. With the help of single/two-photon fluorescence imaging it clearly demonstrated that the successful transfection of ANQ-A-M was attributed to its cellular uptake, apparent lysosomal escape, and reversible release of DNA; and the poor transfection of ANQ-H-M was resulted from the aggregation of the DNA complexes which prevented them from the cellular uptake, and also the strong binding ability which is not easy to release DNA. ANQ-A-M/DOPE also exhibited robust gene silencing (83% knockdown of Luciferase) and GFP expression (2.47-fold higher) efficiency compared with Lipo2000 in A549 and zebrafish, respectively. The work demonstrated that the linkage structure between fluorescent and di(triazole-[12]aneN3) played the important role for their gene delivery performance, and that ANQ-A-M represents a vector with the strong transfection efficiency in vitro and in vivo as well as the efficient real time bioimaging properties, which is potential for the development in biomedical research.

Abstract
Fluorescence detection is desirable to track the gene transfer process in order to explain the mechanism. Here, a fluorescent nanoparticle, diketopyrrolopyrrole-based liposome (DPL), was prepared for DNA delivery and tumor imaging in vitro and in vivo. The process to deliver DNA into cells was detected in real time by DPL according to the fluorescent property. The transfection efficacies (TEs) for luciferase and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) analysis of DPL were 1.5 times those of the commercial transfection agent Lipo 2000. Importantly, the DPL/DNA system has high EGFP TE in vivo with tumor targeting ability. This work provided an effective strategy for monitoring transfection processes.

Abstract
Although a plethora of nonviral gene vectors have been developed for potential gene therapy, imageable gemini surfactants with stimuli-responsiveness and high transfection efficiency are still scarce for gene delivery. Herein, three gemini amphiphiles (DEDPP-4/8/12) consisting of an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) central fluorophore: 5,6-diphenylpyrazine-2,3-diester (DEDPP), decorated with triazole-[12]aneN3 as the hydrophilic moiety and alkyl chains of various lengths as the hydrophobic moiety, were designed and synthesized for trackable gene delivery via optical imaging. All three amphiphiles exhibited ultralow critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) (up to 3.40 × 10-6 M), prominent two-photon absorption properties, and solvatochromic fluorescence. Gel electrophoresis assays demonstrated that the migration of plasmid DNA was completely retarded after condensation with these gemini amphiphiles at low concentrations (up to 10 μM). In addition, the ester bond in these amphiphiles may facilitate vector degradation and DNA release, in response to esterase and the acidic environment inside cells. Upon self-assembly with DOPE to form liposomes, DEDPP-8/DOPE achieved the best transfection efficiency in four cell lines, and the transfection efficiency of DEDPP-8/DOPE in HeLa cell lines was 23.5-fold higher than that of Lipo2000, which is unusually high for small organic molecule-based nonviral vectors. Furthermore, excellent transfection efficiency of DEDPP-8/DOPE was obtained in the presence of serum, and the red fluorescence protein (RFP) gene was successfully transfected in zebrafish embryos. Both one- and two-photon fluorescence imaging clearly demonstrated the delivery process of plasmid DNA. This study demonstrated that gemini-type amphiphiles composed of a two-photon fluorophore core conjugated with triazole-[12]aneN3 via an ester bond afforded an unprecedentedly high transfection efficiency with excellent biocompatibility, which may provide new insights for the design and development of multifunctional nonviral gene vectors for imageable gene delivery.

Abstract
Oligoamide molecular strands with hydrogen-bonding sequences DADDAD and guanidine (O-1) or 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane ([12]aneN3 ; O-2) side chains and oligoamides with hydrogen-bonding sequences ADAADA and octyl moieties (O-3), were synthesized. Two duplexes (D-1 and D-2) were prepared by conjugating the hydrophilic O-1 or O-2 and hydrophobic O-3 through sequence-specific hydrogen-bond association and cross-linked disulfide bonds. Electrophoresis measurements indicated that O-1, O-2, D-1, and D-2 were able to completely retard the DNA mobiliy at concentrations of 30, 30, 10, and 20 μM, respectively. Reversible DNA release in O-1 and O-2 complexes can be achieved in the presence of heparin sodium, whereas the presence of GSH greatly improved DNA release in D-1 and D-2 complexes. The particles formed were in a size range of 50-170 nm with positively charged surfaces. D-1 and D-2 transfected pEGFP-N1 into HeLa cells successfully.

Abstract
Three nonviral gene vectors, TPA-BI-A/B/C, have been designed and synthesized by the combination of one or two hydrophilic [12]aneN3 moieties and two-photon fluorescent triphenylamine-benzylideneimidazolone (TPA-BI) units through different ester linkage. Spectroscopic characterization demonstrated that TPA-BI-A/B/C had strong aggregation-induced emissions (AIE), large Stokes shifts (230, 284, and 263 nm), and large two-photon absorption cross sections (δ2PA) (67, 592, and 80 GM). Gel electrophoresis indicated that the three compounds completely condensed DNA at 15 μM in the presence of DOPE, and showed the lipase- and pH-triggered reversible release of DNA and the fluorescent recognition of the different lengths of ssDNA and dsDNA. The optimal TPA-BI-C/DOPE-mediated luciferase and GFP activity was 146% and 290% higher than those of Lipo2000. The transfection process of DNA could be traced clearly through one- and two-photon fluorescence spectra, and displayed in a 3D-video. TPA-BI-C/DOPE successfully transfected the GFP gene into zebrafish, which was superior to Lipo2000 (192%). In conclusion, TPA-BI-C/DOPE is the first nonviral gene vector with the abilities of pH/lipase enzyme responsiveness, one/two-photon fluorescent tracking of intracellular delivery of DNA, and successful transfection in vivo and in vitro, even better than Lipo2000.

Abstract
This Review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent development in the field of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active tetraphenylethylene (TPE) luminophores and their applications in biomolecular science. It begins with a discussion of the diverse range of structural motifs that have found particular applications in sensing, and demonstrates that TPE structures and their derivatives have been used for a diverse range of analytes such as such as H+, anions, cations, heavy metals, organic volatiles, and toxic gases. Advances are discussed in depth where TPE is utilized as a mechanoluminescent material in bioinspired receptor units with specificity for analytes for such as glucose or RNA. The rapid advances in sensor research make this summary of recent developments in AIE-active TPE luminophores timely, in order to disseminate the advantages of these materials for sensing of analytes in solution, as well as the importance of solid and aggregated states in controlling sensing behavior.

Abstract
Four gemini amphiphiles decorated with triazole-[12]aneN3 as the hydrophilic moiety and various long hydrocarbons as hydrophobic moieties, 1-4, were designed to form micelles possessing the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property for gene delivery and tracing. All four amphiphiles give ultralow critical micelle concentrations, are pH-/photostable and biocompatible, and completely retard the migration of plasmid DNAs at low concentrations. The DNA-binding abilities of the micelles were fully assessed. The coaggregated nanoparticles of 1-4 with DNAs could convert back into AIE micelles. In vitro transfections indicated that lipids 1 and 2 and their originated liposomes bearing decent delivering abilities have great potentials as nonviral vectors. Finally, on the basis of the transfection and the transitions between condensates and micelles, lipid 2 was singled out as the first example for real-time tracing of the intracellular deliveries of nonlabeled DNA, which provides spatiotemporal messages about the processes of condensate uptake and DNA release.
