Abstract
Various signal molecules mediate complex physiological processes collectively in the Golgi. However, most currently accessible probes are questionable in illuminating the functions of these reactive species in Golgi because of the inability to irradiate these probes only at the desired Golgi location, which compromises specificity and accuracy. In this study, we rationally designed the first photocontrollable and Golgi-targeted fluorescent probe to in situ visualize the Golgi alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The designed probe with natural yellow fluorescence can provide access into Golgi and monitor the exact timing of accumulation in Golgi. On-demand photoactivation at only the desired Golgi location affords a significant emission response to ALP with illuminating red fluorescence at 710 nm. Through the photocontrollable fluorescence responsiveness to ALP, precise spatiotemporal recognition of Golgi ALP fluctuations is successfully performed. With this probe, for the first time, we revealed the Golgi ALP levels during cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), which will further facilitate and complement the comprehensive exploration of ALP kinetics during physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
A pretargeted strategy that decouples targeting vectors from radionuclides has shown promise for nuclear imaging and/or therapy in vivo. However, the current pretargeted approach relies on the use of antibodies or nanoparticles as the targeting vectors, which may be compromised by poor tissue penetration and limited accumulation of targeting vectors in the tumor tissues. Herein, we present an orthogonal dual-pretargeted approach by combining stimuli-triggered in situ self-assembly strategy with fast inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction and strong biotin-streptavidin (SA) interaction for near-infrared fluorescence (NIR FL) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of tumors. This approach uses a small-molecule probe (P-Cy-TCO&Bio) containing both biotin and trans-cyclooctene (TCO) as a tumor-targeting vector. P-Cy-TCO&Bio can efficiently penetrate subcutaneous HeLa tumors through biotin-assisted targeted delivery and undergo in situ self-assembly to form biotinylated TCO-bearing nanoparticles (Cy-TCO&Bio NPs) on tumor cell membranes. Cy-TCO&Bio NPs exhibited an "off-on" NIR FL and retained in the tumors, offering a high density of TCO and biotin groups for the concurrent capture of Gd-chelate-labeled tetrazine (Tz-Gd) and IR780-labeled SA (SA-780) via the orthogonal IEDDA reaction and SA-biotin interaction. Moreover, Cy-TCO&Bio NPs offered multiple-valent binding modes toward SA, which additionally regulated the cross-linking of Cy-Gd&Bio NPs into microparticles (Cy-Gd&Bio/SA MPs). This process could significantly (1) increase r1 relaxivity and (2) enhance the accumulation of Tz-Gd and SA-780 in the tumors, resulting in strong NIR FL, bright MR contrast, and an extended time window for the clear and precise imaging of HeLa tumors.

Abstract
Activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes possess advantages of high selectivity, sensitivity, and deep imaging depth, holding great potential in the early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of tumors. However, small-molecule fluorescent probes are largely limited due to the rapid diffusion and metabolic clearance of activated fluorophores in vivo. Herein, we propose an efficient and reproducible novel strategy to construct activatable fluorescent nanoprobes through bioorthogonal reactions and the strong gold-sulfur (Au-S) interactions to achieve an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, thereby achieving prolonged and high-contrast tumor imaging in vivo. To demonstrate the merits of this strategy, we prepared an activatable nanoprobe, hCy-ALP@AuNP, for imaging alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in vivo, whose nanoscale properties facilitate accumulation and long-term retention in tumor lesions. Tumor-overexpressed ALP significantly increased the fluorescence signal of hCy-ALP@AuNP in the NIR region. More importantly, compared with the small-molecule probe hCy-ALP-N3, the nanoprobe hCy-ALP@AuNP significantly improved the distribution and retention time in the tumor, thus improving the imaging window and accuracy. Therefore, this nanoprobe platform has great potential in the efficient construction of biomarker-responsive fluorescent nanoprobes to realize precise tumor diagnosis in vivo.

Abstract
The design of advanced carriers that enable time- or stimulus-programmed drug release holds great promise to enhance the treatment efficacy in tumors. Here, hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated liposomes were designed to efficiently deliver multi-organelle-targeted and ALP/GSH dual-responsive prodrugs for combination therapy on colon tumors. In this system (designated CPTP/RA-HALipo), the unique natural cyclopeptide RA-V was linked covalently to a near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore through a disulfide linker, which was subsequently loaded in the cationic liposome core of CPTP/RA-HALipo, while the ALP-activatable phosphate CPT (CPTP) was encapsulated in the HA shell. In the tumor microenvironment, the HA shell of CPTP/RA-HALipo was partially degraded by HAase, thereby allowing the release of CPTP. The released phosphate prodrug CPTP was activated through hydrolysis of the phosphate esters by brush border-associated enzymes. The cationic liposome coated with the remaining HA could selectively enter CD44 overexpressed cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis into the lysosome, in which the acidic microenvironment degraded the liposomes to release the mitochondria-targeted theranostic agent RA-S-S-Cy. More significantly, the GSH-activatable NIR fluorescence of Cy5.5 made it possible to realize in vivo and in situ dynamic monitoring of drug release in a noninvasive manner. The organelle-specific and multi-stimuli responsive nanoparticles have shown precise control over drug delivery and release, leading to superior in vitro and/or in vivo anti-cancer efficacy. This approach represents a novel interactive drug delivery system that can synergistically differentiate the extracellular, cell membranal and intracellular targets to promote spatial and temporal control of drug release.

Abstract
Development of "ultrahigh contrast" fluorogenic probes for trapping alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities in human serum is highly desirable for clinical auxiliary diagnosis for hepatobiliary diseases. However, the intrinsic dilemma of incomplete ionization of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based ALP fluorophores and autofluorescence interference of serum result in low sensitivity and accuracy. Given that unique halogen effects could lead to a drastic decrease in the pKa value and a significant enhancement in the fluorescence quantum yield, herein we report an enzyme-activatable near-infrared probe based on a difluoro-substituted dicyanomethylene-4H-chromenep for achieving fluorescent quantification of human serum ALP. Rational design strategy is demonstrated by altering the substituted halogen groups to well regulate the pKa for meeting the physiological precondition. Owing to the complete ionization at pH 7.4 with tremendous fluorescence enhancement, the difluoro-substituted DCM-2F-HP manifests a linear relationship between the emission intensity and ALP concentration in both solution and serum samples. Along with measuring 77 human serum samples, the DCM-2F-HP based fluorescence method not only exhibits significant correlations with clinical colorimetry, but also distinguishes ALP patients from healthy volunteers, as well as assessing the progress of liver disease, thus providing a potential toolbox for quantitatively detecting ALP and warning the stage of hepatopathy.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging utilizing traditional organic fluorophores is extensively applied in both cellular and in vivo studies. However, it faces significant obstacles, such as low signal-to-background ratio (SBR) and spurious positive/negative signals, primarily due to the facile diffusion of these fluorophores. To cope with this challenge, orderly self-assembled functionalized organic fluorophores have gained significant attention in the past decades. These fluorophores can create nanoaggregates via a well-ordered self-assembly process, thus prolonging their residency time within cells and in vivo settings. The development of self-assembled-based fluorophores is an emerging field, and as such, in this review, we present a summary of the progress and challenges of self-assembly fluorophores, focusing on their development history, self-assembly mechanisms, and biomedical applications. We hope that the insights provided herein will assist scientists in further developing functionalized organic fluorophores for in situ imaging, sensing, and therapy.

Abstract
Vacancy engineering as an effective strategy has been widely employed to regulate the enzyme-mimic activity of nanomaterials by adjusting the surface, electronic structure, and creating more active sites. Herein, we purposed a facile and simple method to acquire transition metal manganese oxide rich in oxygen vacancies (OVs-Mn2O3-400) by pyrolyzing the precursor of the Mn(II)-based metal-organic gel directly. The as-prepared OVs-Mn2O3-400 exhibited superior oxidase-like activity as oxygen vacancies participated in the generation of O2•-. Besides, steady state kinetic constant (Km) and catalytic kinetic constant (Ea) suggested that OVs-Mn2O3-400 had a stronger affinity toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine and possessed prominent catalytic performance. By taking 2-phospho-l-ascorbic acid as the substrate, which can be converted into reducing substance ascorbic acid in the presence of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), OVs-Mn2O3-400 can be applied as an efficient nanozyme for ALP colorimetric analysis without the help of destructive H2O2. The colorimetric sensor established by OVs-Mn2O3-400 for ALP detection showed a good linearity from 0.1 to 12 U/L and a lower limit of detection of 0.054 U/L. Our work paves the way for designing enhanced enzyme-like activity nanozymes, which is of significance in biosensing.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) have been extensively employed in biomolecule imaging. However, the imaging of biological enzymes with CDs has not been reported, which greatly limits their application in biological imaging. Herein, for the first time, a new type of fluorescent CDs is elaborately designed to realize the direct mapping of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in cells. The obtained phosphorus and nitrogen co-doped CDs (P, N-CDs) generate specific structures including xanthene oxide and phosphate ester, thereby enabling P, N-CDs to be exclusively cleaved by ALP without auxiliary media. The fluorescence intensity of P, N-CDs can be specifically turned on in the presence of ALP, making them powerful probes for sensitive sensing of ALP activity with a detection limit of 1.27 U·L-1. Meanwhile, P, N-CDs possessing electron deficiency structure fulfill sensitive responding to polarity variations. The excellent photo-bleaching resistance and biocompatibility of the P, N-CDs are taken for directly mapping the intracellular endogenous ALP via turned-on fluorescence imaging, as well as real-time monitoring the polarity fluctuation in cells through ratiometric fluorescence imaging. The present work offers a new way to design and synthesize functional CDs for direct imaging of intracellular enzymes.

Abstract
γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), an important tumor marker, is highly expressed in tumor tissues, and precise detection of its activity provides a vital indicator for the diagnosis and treatment. In this work, a "lighting-on" probe (TCF-GGT) was elaborated to detect endogenous GGT with high selectivity and sensitivity. Dicyanomethyldifuranyl (TCF-OH) was employed as the fluorescence reporter and short peptide glutathione (GSH) worked as the GGT-active trigger, the introduction of which prevented the initial proton transfer of TCF-OH contributing to a blank sensing background. A bright red fluorescence could be switched on upon GGT catalytic hydrolysis, avoiding the potential interference from background. There displayed an excellent water-solubility, and little organic solvent was required during the exploration, which otherwise avoided the potential damage to enzyme and organism. TCF-GGT has been proved to be workable at cellular and organism level with highly effective imaging and a short metabolic cycle, which is expected to offer an alternative solution or reference to the early diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is one of the vital phospho-ester bond cleaving biocatalysts that has inevitable significance in cellular systems, viz., early-stage osteoblast differentiation, cell integrity in tissues, bone mineralization, cancer biomarker, liver dysfunction, cellular osmotic pressure, protein folding and many more. Variation from optimal levels of ALP in intra and extracellular fluids can cause severe diseases, including death. Due to these reasons, ALP is considered as a vital biomarker for various preclinical and medical diagnosis. Fluorescence image-based diagnosis is the most widely used method, owing to its simplicity, robustness, non-invasive properties and excellent spatio-temporal resolution (up to the nM/pM level), as compared to conventional analytical techniques, such as the electroanalytical method, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Most of the reviews reported for ALP’s recognition in the literature scarcely explain the structurally related, photophysical and biophysical parameters; and the sub-cellular localizations. Considering these facts, in order to enhance the opto-analytical parameters of fluorescence-based diagnostic materials at the cellular level, herein we have systematically documented recent developments in the opto-analytical capabilities of quencher-free probes for ALP, used in in vitro (biological buffers) to in cellulo conditions, along with in vivo models.

Abstract
The determination of pyrophosphate and alkaline phosphatase activity plays a significant role in medical diagnosis. In this work, a label-free "ON-OFF-ON" fluorescence strategy is developed for the analysis of pyrophosphate and alkaline phosphatase activity. Using PolyT single strand DNA as templates to synthesize fluorescent copper nanoparticles, the coordination effect of pyrophosphoric acid on Cu2+ inhibited the generation of fluorescence. Afterwards, the addition of alkaline phosphatase into hydrolyze pyrophosphoric acid resulted in the release of Cu2+, whereby the fluorescence intensity could be recovered. Thereupon enhanced-sensitivity for alkaline phosphatase was obtained (0.1 mU/L), much better than previously reported methods. Meanwhile, it could be performed directly in homogeneous solution, which was very close to the actual activity level of alkaline phosphatase under physiological conditions. Likewise, satisfactory results were also obtained in specificity assessment, which demonstrated its potential application in clinical diagnosis. Notably, a new, sensitive, low-cost, short-time, and high-sensitivity platform for alkaline phosphatase detection was constructed, and the design of biosensor using DNA-templated Copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) was instructed in this study.

Abstract
Inflammation is associated with many diseases, so the development of an excellent near infrared fluorescent (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) dual-modality probe is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of inflammation. However, most of the current NIRF/PA scaffolds are based on repurposing existing fluorescent dye platforms that exhibit non-optimal properties for both NIRF and PA signal outputs. Herein, we developed a novel dye scaffold QL-OH by optimizing the NIRF and PA signal of classical hemicyanine dyes. Based on this optimized dye, we developed the first NIRF/PA dual-mode carbon monoxide (CO) probe QL-CO for noninvasive and sensitive visualization of CO levels in deep inflammatory lesions in vivo. The novel probe QL-CO exhibited rapid and sensitive NIRF775/PA730 dual activation responses toward CO. In addition, the CO-activated probe QL-CO was successfully used for the diagnosis of inflammation and evaluation of anti-inflammation drug efficacy in living mice though the NIRF/PA dual-mode imaging technology for the first time. More importantly, the probe QL-CO could accurately locate the deep inflammatory lesion tissues (≈1 cm) in mice and obtain 3D PA diagnostic images with deep penetration depth and spatial resolution. Therefore, the new NIRF/PA dual-mode probe QL-CO has high potential for deep-tissue diagnosis imaging of CO in vivo. These findings may provide a new tool and approach for future research and diagnosis of CO-associated diseases.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), an essential hydrolase with crucial roles in living organisms, has widely been regarded as a biomarker for various human diseases in clinical diagnoses. Herein, taking advantage of cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanoflakes and nonenzymatic cascade recycling amplification (CRA), a highly sensitive and label-free fluorescence biosensing strategy for the determination of ALP activity is introduced. In our design, ALP can promote the dephosphorylation of l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) to reduce ascorbic acid (AA), which is then able to decompose CoOOH in a nucleic acids@CoOOH nanocomplex into Co2+ cofactors. Further, enzyme-free CRA was rapidly initiated by integrating DNAzyme recycling amplification and catalytic hairpin assembly, resulting in the generation of an abundance of G-quadruplex structure-contained DNA duplexes. In the presence of thioflavin T (ThT), analytical target ALP was converted in an amplified and activatable fluorescence signal. The experimental results show that this method can be applied for the quantitative analysis of ALP activity with a low detection limit of 0.027 mU/mL. Moreover, this developed biosensing approach exhibits excellent specificity, and the evaluation of ALP activity in the complex human serum samples was successfully realized, indicating that it can afford a reliable, robust, and cost-effective nanoplatform for an ALP-based clinical diagnosis and for biomedical research.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a valuable biomarker and effective therapeutic target for the diagnosis and treatment of diverse human diseases, including bone disorder, cardiovascular disease, and cancers. The reported ALP assays often suffer from laborious procedures, costly reagents, inadequate sensitivity, and large sample consumption. Herein, we report a new single-molecule fluorescent biosensor for the simple and ultrasensitive detection of ALP. In this assay, the ALP-catalyzed dephosphorylation of detection probe can protect the detection probe against lambda exonuclease-mediated digestion, and the remaining detection probes can trigger ceaseless hybridization between two Cy5-labeled hairpin probes through toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement, generating a long fluorescent DNA chain, which can be subsequently separated from unhybridized hairpin probes and disassembled into dispersed Cy5 moieties upon NaOH treatment. The free Cy5 moieties indicate the presence of ALP and can be directly quantified via single-molecule counting. This biosensor enables efficient amplification and transduction of the target ALP signal through enzyme-free assembly and disassembly processes, significantly simplifying the experimental procedure and improving the assay accuracy. The proposed biosensor allows specific and ultrasensitive detection of ALP activity with a detection limit down to 2.61 × 10-6 U mL-1 and is suitable for ALP inhibition assay and kinetic analysis. Moreover, this biosensor can be applied for endogenous ALP detection in human cells and clinical human serum, holding the potential in the ALP biological function study and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
In situ quantitative analysis of enzymes such as phosphatase is important to understand a number of involved biological processes ranging from various metabolisms to signal transduction and cellular regulation. In this paper, a novel in situ measurement strategy was proposed to detect alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in different locations within single living cells. The principle is based on the measurement of the resonance light scattering brightness ratio (SBR) per moving nanoparticle that forms in an ALP-related chemical reaction. In the method, a novel resonance light scattering correlation spectroscopy (RLSCS) system was developed using two lasers for illumination or two detection channels. Using the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as probes, the Au@Ag nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) formed due to the ALP-catalyzed hydrolysis of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) and the subsequent reduction-deposition reaction of Ag ions that occurred on the AuNPs. The SBR value per moving particle was determined based on the obtained RLS intensity traces and RLSCS curves. The SBR value was found to be not influenced by the intracellular viscosity and size that was confirmed in the experiments. The linear relation between the SBR and ALP activity was established and applied to detect ALP activity and evaluate the inhibition of different drugs. Finally, the method was successfully used to in situ measure ALP activity within living cells. The method overcomes the shortcoming of conventional methods that lack quantitative analysis and are susceptible to intracellular viscosity.

Abstract
The discovery of a near-infrared (NIR, 650-900 nm) fluorescent chromophore hemicyanine dye with high structural tailorability is of great significance in the field of detection, bioimaging, and medical therapeutic applications. It exhibits many outstanding advantages including absorption and emission in the NIR region, tunable spectral properties, high photostability as well as a large Stokes shift. These properties are superior to those of conventional fluorogens, such as coumarin, fluorescein, naphthalimides, rhodamine, and cyanine. Researchers have made remarkable progress in developing activity-based multifunctional fluorescent probes based on hemicyanine skeletons for monitoring vital biomolecules in living systems through the output of fluorescence/photoacoustic signals, and integration of diagnosis and treatment of diseases using chemotherapy or photothermal/photodynamic therapy or combination therapy. These achievements prompted researchers to develop more smart fluorescent probes using a hemicyanine fluorogen as a template. In this review, we begin by describing the brief history of the discovery of hemicyanine dyes, synthetic approaches, and design strategies for activity-based functional fluorescent probes. Then, many selected hemicyanine-based probes that can detect ions, small biomolecules, overexpressed enzymes and diagnostic reagents for diseases are systematically highlighted. Finally, potential drawbacks and the outlook for future investigation and clinical medicine transformation of hemicyanine-based activatable functional probes are also discussed.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a process that arrests the cell cycle, is a cellular response mechanism for various stresses and is implicated in aging and various age-related diseases. However, the understanding of senescence in living organisms is insufficient, largely due to the scarcity of sensitive tools for the detection of cellular senescence in vivo. Herein, we describe the development of a self-immobilizing near-infrared (NIR) fluorogenic probe that can be activated by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal), the most widely used senescence marker. The NIR signal is turned on only in the presence of SA-β-Gal, and the fluorescence signal is retained to the site of activation via in situ labeling, significantly enhancing the sensitivity of the probe. We demonstrate its efficient noninvasive imaging of senescence in mice xenograft models.

Abstract
In the present work, we synthesized ZrO2/CeO2/polyacrylic acid (PAA) nanocomposites (nanozyme) with phosphatase-like activity. ZrO2 evenly distributed in CeO2 nanorods considered as lewis acids to enhance the phosphatase-like activity of CeO2 nanorods. Furthermore, PAA was used to coat ZrO2/CeO2/ nanorods and improve the dispersion, stability and robustness. The ZrO2/CeO2/PAA nanocomposites had 100% enhanced phosphatase-like activity compared with CeO2 nanorods and excellent adaptability in a wide pH range from 4.0 to 12.0. ZrO2/CeO2/PAA nanocomposites could hydrolyze methyl parathion (MP) to p-nitrophenol (p-NP) with bright yellow color for colorimetric detection. The developed colorimetric detection system showed a linear response from 7.60 × 10-11-7.60 × 10-8 M with a detection limit of 0.021 nM and was successfully applied for the determination of MP in corn samples.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescent probe has been developed through a simple synthetic route for the detection of alkaline phosphatase(ALP) in aqueous media and for fluorescence imaging in living cells. The introduction of a spontaneous-degradation spacer in the design of the fluorescent probe is beneficial for the ratio detection method and allows the selection of a fluorophore with an amino group. Under catalysis by ALP, the phosphate monoester bond breaks; this is followed by 1,4-elimination, decomposition of the carbamate moiety, and subsequent formation of the 4-amine-1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore. The probe APN shows a significant fluorescence colour change from blue to green in response to ALP, and the fluorescence intensity ratio of the probe solution (F550/F480) has a good linear relationship with the ALP concentration in the range of 0 to 100 U L-1. Our studies have demonstrated that APN exhibits high accuracy in recognising ALP, with a detection limit as low as 0.16 U L-1. Furthermore, the probe shows very good biocompatibility, which is beneficial for its application in biological systems.

Abstract
Pretargeted imaging has emerged as a promising approach to advance nuclear imaging of malignant tumors. Herein, we combine the enzyme-mediated fluorogenic reaction and in situ self-assembly with the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction to develop an activatable pretargeted strategy for multimodality imaging. The trans-cyclooctene (TCO) bearing small-molecule probe, P-FFGd-TCO, can be activated by alkaline phosphatase and in situ self-assembles into nanoaggregates (FMNPs-TCO) retained on the membranes, permitting to (1) amplify near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals, and (2) enrich TCOs to promote IEDDA ligation. The Gallium-68 (68 Ga) labeled tetrazine can readily conjugate the tumor-retained FMNPs-TCO to enhance radioactivity uptake in tumors. Strong NIR FL, MRI, and positron emission tomography (PET) signals are concomitantly achieved, allowing for pretargeted multimodality imaging of ALP activity in HeLa tumor-bearing mice.

Abstract
Herein, an ultra-sensitive alkaline phosphatase (ALP) sensing strategy is developed by target-induced transcription amplification to trigger the trans-cleavage activity of Cas13a (TITAC-Cas). A double-stranded DNA duplex integrating a T7 promoter with 5'-phosphate and a transcription template (5'P-dsDNA) serves as the ALP substrate. In the absence of ALP, 5'P-dsDNA can be degraded by the λexo, leading to the subsequent transcription failure. In the presence of ALP, dephosphorylation reaction converts the 5'P-dsDNA to 5'OH-dsDNA and provides the protection for T7 promoter against the λexo-digestion. The intact T7 promoter of 5'OH-dsDNA can activate T7 transcription to produce a mass of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). The ssRNA products possess a full complementarity to the spacer of crRNA and activate the ssRNase activity of CRISPR/Cas13a. As a result, Cas13a exhibits the indiscriminate cleavage of collateral FQ-reporter to release significant fluorescence signal, realizing the ultra-sensitive detection of ALP. Due to the triple signal amplification (ALP self-catalysis, T7 transcription amplification, and trans-cleavage of CRISPR/Cas13a), TITAC-Cas assay shows the ultra-sensitive detection of ALP activity with a wide linear range from 0.008 to 250 U∙L-1). The LOD is calculated to be 6 ± 0.52 mU∙L-1. TITAC-Cas assay is also successfully applied for analysis of ALP activity in HepG2 cell lysate with high fidelity. In addition, this method is employed to screen ALP inhibitor.

Abstract
Monoaromatic molecules are a category of molecules containing a single aromatic ring which generally emit light in the ultraviolet (UV) region. Despite their facile preparation, the UV emission greatly limits their application as organic probes. In this study, we developed a general method to red shift the emission of monoaromatic molecules. Significant fluorescence red-shift (∼100 nm per intramolecular hydrogen bonding) can be achieved by introducing intramolecular hydrogen bonding units to benzene, a typical monoaromatic molecule. Upon increasing the number of hydrogen bonding units on the benzene ring, UV, blue, and green emissions are screened, which are switchable by simply breaking/restoration the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. As a demonstration, with the breaking of one intramolecular H-bonding, the green emission (λemmax = 533 nm) of 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHTA) changed to cyan (λemmax = 463 nm) upon the formation of its phosphorylated form (denoted as PDHTA), which, in the presence of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), hydrolyzed and recovered the green emission. By taking advantage of the switchable emission colors, ratiometric in vitro and endogenous ALP sensing was achieved. This general approach offers a great promise to develop organic probes with tunable emissions for fluorescence analysis and imaging by different intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an essential hydrolase and widely distributed in living organisms. It plays important roles in various physiological and pathological processes. Herein, a turn-on near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DXMP) was developed for sensitive detection of ALP activity both in vitro and in vivo based on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. Upon incubation with ALP, DXMP exhibited a strong fluorescence increment at 640 nm, which was attributed to the fact that ALP-catalyzed cleavage of the phosphate group in DXMP induced the transformation of DXMP into DXM-OH. The probe exhibited prominent features including outstanding selectivity, high sensitivity, and excellent biocompatibility. More importantly, it has been successfully used to detect and image endogenous ALP in living cells and zebrafish.

Biocompatible fluorescent probe for detecting mitochondrial alkaline phosphatase activity in live cells. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2020; 212:112043. [PMID: 33022468 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2020.112043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that actively plays a significant role in the various metabolic processes by transferring a phosphate group to the protein, nucleic acid, etc. The elevated level of ALP in blood plasma is the hallmark of inflammation/cancer. The hyperactive mitochondria in cancer cells produce an excess of ATP to fulfill the high energy demand. Thus, we have developed a fluorescent probe Mito-Phos for ALP, which can detect phosphatase expression in mitochondria in live cells. The probe Mito-Phos has shown ~15-fold fluorescence intensity increments at 450 nm in the presence of 500 ng/mL of ALP. It takes about 60 min to consume the whole amount of ALP (500 ng/mL) in physiological buffer saline. It can selectively react with ALP even in the presence of other probable cellular reactive components. It is highly biocompatible and nontoxic to the live cells. It has shown ALP expression in a dose-dependent manner by providing concomitant fluorescence images in the blue-channel region. It has localized exclusively in the mitochondria in live cells. The probe Mito-Phos is highly biocompatible with the ability to assess ALP expression in mitochondria in live cells.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been found to be biomarkers of cancers and the corresponding inhibitors have attracted much attention these years. Herein we reported a near-infrared fluorescent HDAC inhibitor based on vorinostat (SAHA) and a NIR fluorophore. This newly designed inhibitor showed similar inhibitory activity to SAHA against three HDAC isoforms (HDAC1, 3, 6). The western blot assay showed significant difference in compared with the negative group. When used as probe for further kinematic imaging, Probe 1 showed enhanced retention in tumor cells and the potential of HDAC inhibitors in drug delivery was firstly brought out. The cytotoxicity assay showed Probe 1 had some anti-proliferation activities with corresponding IC50 values of 9.20 ± 0.96 μM on Hela cells and 5.91 ± 0.57 μM on MDA-MB-231 cells. These results indicated that Probe 1 could be used as a potential NIR fluorescent in the study of HDAC inhibitors and lead compound for the development of visible drugs.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is extensively used as a clinical biomarker because of its close relevance with a variety of diseases. Thus, exploring reliable and practical methods for ALP analysis is of great significance. In the present work, we explored MIL-53(Fe) as a bifunctional platform with pyrophosphate (PPi)-mediated peroxidase-like activity and oxidation-stimulated fluorescence switching for ALP sensing. The proposed MIL-53(Fe) could exhibit favorable peroxidase-mimicking activity to catalytically decompose H2O2 to hydroxyl radicals, which had strong oxidizing ability to oxidize the terephthalic acid bridging ligand, resulting in the oxidation-stimulated turn-on fluorescence of MIL-53(Fe) itself. Due to the strong coordination interaction between PPi and Fe3+, the former with a relatively large molecular structure was able to inhibit the catalytic activity of MIL-53(Fe) via capping active Fe3+ sites, leading to the suppression of its self-fluorescence response. When ALP was present, it could hydrolyze the PPi inhibitor and restore the dual functions of MIL-53(Fe) to provide fluorescence again. With the above principle, highly sensitive and selective determination of ALP with a linear scope of 2-80 U L-1 and a detection limit down to 0.7 U L-1 was achieved. The MIL-53(Fe) was also demonstrated to be very reliable in measuring the target in human serum, indicating its great promise as an integrated tool for ALP detection in clinical practice.

Abstract
The ability to visualize enzyme activity in a cell, tissue, or living organism can greatly enhance our understanding of the biological roles of that enzyme. While many aspects of cellular signaling are controlled by reversible protein phosphorylation, our understanding of the biological roles of the protein phosphatases involved is limited. Here, we provide an overview of progress toward the development of fluorescent probes that can be used to visualize the activity of protein phosphatases. Significant advances include the development of probes with visible and near-infrared (near-IR) excitation and emission profiles, which provides greater tissue and whole-animal imaging capabilities. In addition, the development of peptide-based probes has provided some selectivity for a phosphatase of interest. Key challenges involve the difficulty of achieving sufficient selectivity for an individual member of a phosphatase enzyme family and the necessity of fully validating the best probes before they can be adopted widely.

Abstract
Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) is a promising diagnostic marker for cancer, depression, Parkinson's disease, and liver disease. The fluorescence detection of MAO-A in living animals is of extreme importance for the early diagnosis of related diseases. However, the development of specific and mitochondrial-targeted and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence MAO-A probes is still inadequate. Here, we designed and synthesized four NIR fluorescence probes containing a dihydroxanthene (DH) skeleton to detect MAO-A in complex biological systems. The specificity of our representative probe DHMP2 displays a 31-fold fluorescence turn-on in vitro, and it can effectively accumulate in the mitochondria and specifically detect the endogenous MAO-A concentrations in PC-3 and SH-SY5Y cell lines. Furthermore, the probe DHMP2 can be used to visualize the endogenous MAO-A activity in zebrafish and tumor-bearing mice. More importantly, it is the first time that the MAO-A activity of hepatic fibrosis tissues is detected through the probe DHMP2. The present study shows that the synthesized DHMP2 might serve as a potential tool for monitoring MAO-A activity in vivo and diagnosing related diseases.

Abstract
Monitoring fluctuations in enzyme overexpression facilitates early tumor detection and excision. An AIEgen probe (DQM-ALP) for the imaging of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was synthesized. The probe consists of a quinoline-malononitrile (QM) core decorated with hydrophilic phosphate groups as ALP-recognition units. The rapid liberation of DQM-OH aggregates in the presence of ALP resulted in aggregation-induced fluorescence. The up-regulation of ALP expression in tumor cells was imaged using DQM-ALP. The probe permeated into 3D cervical and liver tumor spheroids for imaging spatially heterogeneous ALP activity with high spatial resolution on a two-photon microscopy platform, providing the fluorescence-guided recognition of sub-millimeter tumorigenesis. DQM-ALP enabled differentiation between tumor and normal tissue ex vivo and in vivo, suggesting that the probe may serve as a powerful tool to assist surgeons during tumor resection.
