Multifunctional fluorescence/photoacoustic bimodal imaging of γ-glutamyltranspeptidase in liver disorders under different triggering conditions. Biomaterials 2024; 310:122635. [PMID: 38810386 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) seriously threatens the human health. Previous investigations revealed that γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) was tightly associated with the chronic injury, hepatic fibrosis, and the development of HCC, therefore might act as a potential indicator for monitoring the HCC-related processes. Herein, with the contribution of a structurally optimized probe ETYZE-GGT, the bimodal imaging in both far red fluorescence (FL) and photoacoustic (PA) modes has been achieved in multiple HCC-related models. To our knowledge, this work covered the most comprehensive models including the fibrosis and developed HCC processes as well as the premonitory induction stages (autoimmune hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). ETYZE-GGT exhibited steady and practical monitoring performances on reporting the HCC stages via visualizing the GGT dynamics. The two modes exhibited working consistency and complementarity with high spatial resolution, precise apparatus and desirable biocompatibility. In cooperation with the existing techniques including testing serum indexes and conducting pathological staining, ETYZE-GGT basically realized the universal application for the accurate pre-clinical diagnosis of as many HCC stages as possible. By deeply exploring the mechanically correlation between GGT and the HCC process, especially during the premonitory induction stages, we may further raise the efficacy for the early diagnosis and treatment of HCC.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2400883. [PMID: 38881331 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202400883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), as an indispensable signaling molecule in organisms, is one of the key members of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, in vivo, real-time dynamic near-infrared fluorescence imaging of HOCl levels in the 1400-1700 nm sub-window (NIR-IIb) remains a major challenge due to the lack of suitable detection methods. Herein, a general design of HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe is proposed by integrating NaLuF4Yb/Er@NaLuF4 downshift nanoparticles (DSNPs) and HOCl recognition/NIR-IIb emissive modulation unit of M2-xS (M = Cu, Co, Pb) nanodots for real-time monitoring of HOCl levels. The fluorescence modulation unit of M2-xS nanodots presents remarkably enhanced absorption than Yb sensitizer at 980 nm and greatly inhibits the NIR-IIb fluorescence emission via competitive absorption mechanism. While, the M2-xS nanodots are easily degraded after triggering by HOCl, resulting in HOCl responsive turn-on (≈ten folds) NIR-IIb emission at 1532 nm. More importantly, in vivo highly precise and specific monitoring of inflammatory with abnormal HOCl expression is successfully achieved. Thus, the explored competitive absorption mediated quenching-activation mechanism provides a new general strategy of designing HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe for highly specific and sensitive HOCl detection.

Abstract
The identification and detection of disease-related biomarkers is essential for early clinical diagnosis, evaluating disease progression, and for the development of therapeutics. Possessing the advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity, fluorescent probes have become effective tools for monitoring disease-related active molecules at the cellular level and in vivo. In this review, we describe current fluorescent probes designed for the detection and quantification of key bioactive molecules associated with common diseases, such as organ damage, inflammation, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and brain disorders. We emphasize the strategies behind the design of fluorescent probes capable of disease biomarker detection and diagnosis and cover some aspects of combined diagnostic/therapeutic strategies based on regulating disease-related molecules. This review concludes with a discussion of the challenges and outlook for fluorescent probes, highlighting future avenues of research that should enable these probes to achieve accurate detection and identification of disease-related biomarkers for biomedical research and clinical applications.

Abstract
Research on the core-shell design of rare earth-doped nanoparticles has recently gained significant attention, particularly in exploring the synergistic effects of combining active and inert shell layers. In this study, we successfully synthesized 8 types of spherical core-shell Na-based nanoparticles to enhance the efficiency of core-shell design in upconversion luminescence and temperature sensing through the strategic arrangement of inert and active layers. The most effective upconversion luminescence was observed under 980 nm and 808 nm laser excitation using NaYF4 inert shell NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+@ NaYF4 and NaYF4@ NaYF4:Yb3+, Nd3+ core-shell nanostructures. Moreover, the incorporation of the NaYbF4 active shell structure led to a significant increase in relative sensitivity in ratio luminescence thermometry. Notably, the NaYF4:Yb3+, Nd3+, Er3+@ NaYbF4 core-shell structure demonstrated the highest relative sensitivity of 1.12 %K-1. This research underscores the crucial role of inert shell layers in enhancing upconversion luminescence in core-shell structure design, while active layers play a key role in achieving high-sensitivity temperature detection capabilities.

Abstract
Intravital fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) has emerged as a promising method for non-invasive diagnostics in complex biological systems due to its advantages of less background interference, high tissue penetration depth, high imaging contrast, and sensitivity. However, traditional NIR-II fluorescence imaging, which is characterized by the "always on" or "turn on" mode, lacks the ability of quantitative detection, leading to low reproducibility and reliability during bio-detection. In contrast, NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence imaging can realize quantitative and reliable analysis and detection in vivo by providing reference signals for fluorescence correction, generating new opportunities and prospects during in vivo bioimaging and biosensing. In this review, the current design strategies and sensing mechanisms of NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence probes for bioimaging and biosensing applications are systematically summarized. Further, current challenges, future perspectives and opportunities for designing NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence probes are also discussed. It is hoped that this review can provide effective guidance for the design of NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence probes and promote its adoption in reliable biological imaging and sensing in vivo.

Abstract
In this study, we have successfully developed a novel dual-response fluorescent probe, NACou, designed for the visual and quantitative detection of HClO/H2S in real water samples and liquid beverages by a thin-film sensing platform. Additionally, NACou demonstrated efficacy for sensing HClO/H2S in HeLa cells, plants and zebrafish through distinct fluorescent channels, yielding satisfactory results. NACou exhibited a multi-modal fluorescence response mechanism for detecting HClO and H2S with remarkable low detection limits of 27.8 nM and 34.4 nM, accompanied by outstanding fluorescent enhancement (209-fold and 148-fold, respectively). These advantages position NACou as a potent molecular tool for HClO and H2S sensing. The specific recognition performance of NACou towards HClO/H2S were confirmed through fluorescence spectroscopy, mass analysis and UV-vis spectroscopy. Importantly, the thin-film sensing platform with the visible fluorescence change can enable rapid assays for water quality and food safety monitoring, showcasing significant practical application value. Impressively, NACou has been employed in warning against liver injury induced by multiple drugs, allowing for the exploration of the pathogenesis and degree of drug-induced injury.

Abstract
The advanced design of rare-earth-doped (RE-doped) fluoride nanoparticles has expanded their applications ranging from anticounterfeiting luminescence and contactless temperature measurement to photodynamic therapy. Several recent studies have focused on developing rare morphologies of RE-doped nanoparticles. Distinct physical morphologies of RE-doped fluoride materials set them apart from contemporary nanoparticles. Every unusual structure holds the potential to dramatically improve the physical performance of nanoparticles, resulting in a remarkable revolution and a wide range of applications. This comprehensive review serves as a guide offering insights into various uniquely structured nanoparticles, including hollow, dumbbell-shaped, and peasecod-like forms. It aims to cater to both novices and experts interested in exploring the morphological transformations of nanoparticles. Discovering new energy transfer pathways and enhancing the optical application performance have been long-term challenges for which new solutions can be found in old papers. In the future, nanoparticle morphology design is expected to involve more refined microphysical methods and chemically-induced syntheses. Targeted modification of nanoparticle morphology and the aggregation of nanoparticles of various shapes can provide the advantages of different structures and enhance the universality of nanoparticles.

Abstract
Dynamic variations in the concentration and abnormal distribution of endogenous biomarkers are strongly associated with multiple physiological and pathological states. Therefore, it is crucial to design imaging systems capable of real-time detection of dynamic changes in biomarkers for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of diseases. Recently, ratiometric imaging has emerged as a widely used technique for sensing and imaging of biomarkers due to its advantage of circumventing the limitations inherent to conventional intensity-dependent signal readout methods while also providing built-in self-calibration for signal correction. Here, the recent progress of ratiometric probes and their applications in sensing and imaging of biomarkers are outlined. Ratiometric probes are classified according to their imaging mechanisms, and ratiometric photoacoustic imaging, ratiometric optical imaging including photoluminescence imaging and self-luminescence imaging, ratiometric magnetic resonance imaging, and dual-modal ratiometric imaging are discussed. The applications of ratiometric probes in the sensing and imaging of biomarkers such as pH, reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), glutathione (GSH), gas molecules, enzymes, metal ions, and hypoxia are discussed in detail. Additionally, this Review presents an overview of challenges faced in this field along with future research directions.

Abstract
In vivo imaging technologies have emerged as a powerful tool for both fundamental research and clinical practice. In particular, luminescence imaging in the tissue-transparent near-infrared (NIR, 700-1700 nm) region offers tremendous potential for visualizing biological architectures and pathophysiological events in living subjects with deep tissue penetration and high imaging contrast owing to the reduced light-tissue interactions of absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence. The distinctive quantum effects of nanocrystals have been harnessed to achieve exceptional photophysical properties, establishing them as a promising category of luminescent probes. In this comprehensive review, the interactions between light and biological tissues, as well as the advantages of NIR light for in vivo luminescence imaging, are initially elaborated. Subsequently, we focus on achieving deep tissue penetration and improved imaging contrast by optimizing the performance of nanocrystal fluorophores. The ingenious design strategies of NIR nanocrystal probes are discussed, along with their respective biomedical applications in versatile in vivo luminescence imaging modalities. Finally, thought-provoking reflections on the challenges and prospects for future clinical translation of nanocrystal-based in vivo luminescence imaging in the NIR region are wisely provided.

Abstract
H2S has emerged as a promising biomarker for many diseases such as colon cancer and metformin-induced hepatotoxicity. Real-time monitoring of H2S levels in vivo is significant for early accurate diagnosis of these diseases. Herein, a new accurate and reliable nanoprobe (Au NRs@Ag) was designed for real-time dynamic ratiometric photoacoustic (PA) imaging of H2S in vivo based on the endogenous H2S-triggered local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) red-shift. The Au NRs@Ag nanoprobe can be readily converted into Au NRs@Ag2S via the endogenous H2S-activated in situ sulfurative reaction, subsequently leading to a significant red-shift of the LSPR wavelength from 808 to 980 nm and enabling accurate ratiometric PA (PA980/PA808) imaging of H2S. Moreover, dynamic ratiometric PA imaging of metformin-induced hepatotoxicity was also successfully achieved by the designed PA imaging strategy. These findings provide the possibility of designing a new ratiometric PA imaging strategy for dynamic in situ monitoring of H2S-related diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article gives a brief overview of the most recent developments in osteosarcoma treatment, including targeting of signaling pathways, immune checkpoint inhibitors, drug delivery strategies as single or combined approaches, and the identification of new therapeutic targets to face this highly heterogeneous disease. RECENT FINDINGS Osteosarcoma is one of the most common primary malignant bone tumors in children and young adults, with a high risk of bone and lung metastases and a 5-year survival rate around 70% in the absence of metastases and 30% if metastases are detected at the time of diagnosis. Despite the novel advances in neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the effective treatment for osteosarcoma has not improved in the last 4 decades. The emergence of immunotherapy has transformed the paradigm of treatment, focusing therapeutic strategies on the potential of immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the most recent clinical trials show a slight improvement over the conventional polychemotherapy scheme. The tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma by controlling the tumor growth, the metastatic process and the drug resistance and paved the way of new therapeutic options that must be validated by accurate pre-clinical studies and clinical trials.

Abstract
Lesion areas are distinguished from normal tissues surrounding them by distinct physiological characteristics. These features serve as biological hallmarks with which targeted biomedical imaging of the lesion sites can be achieved. Although tremendous efforts have been devoted to providing smart imaging probes with the capability of visualizing the physiological hallmarks at the molecular level, the majority of them are merely able to derive anatomical information from the tissues of interest, and thus are not suitable for taking part in in vivo quantification of the biomarkers. Recent advances in chemical construction of advanced ratiometric nanoprobes (RNPs) have enabled a horizon for quantitatively monitoring the biological abnormalities in vivo. In contrast to the conventional probes whose dependency of output on single-signal profiles restricts them from taking part in quantitative practices, RNPs are designed to provide information in two channels, affording a self-calibration opportunity to exclude the analyte-independent factors from the outputs and address the issue. Most of the conventional RNPs have encountered several challenges regarding the reliability and sufficiency of the obtained data for high-performance imaging. In this Review, we have summarized the recent progresses in developing highly advanced RNPs with the capabilities of deriving maximized information from the lesion areas of interest as well as adapting themselves to the complex biological systems in order to minimize microenvironmental-induced falsified signals. To provide a better outlook on the current advanced RNPs, nanoprobes based on optical, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging modalities for visualizing a wide range of analytes such as pH, reactive species, and different derivations of amino acids have been included. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of the RNPs, the major constituents of the nanosystems and the analyte recognition mechanisms have been introduced. Moreover, the alterations in the values of the ratiometric signal in response to the analyte of interest as well as the time at which the highest value is achieved, have been included for most of RNPs discussed in this Review. Finally, the challenges as well as future perspectives in the field are discussed.

Abstract
There are tricky challenges in tumor therapy due to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, inevitably inhibiting the treatment efficacy of the traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiation therapy (RT), and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Herein, to overcome tumor hypoxia limitation, we constructed a near-infrared II (NIR-II) light-triggered thermodynamic therapy (TDT) nanoplatform of Au@mSiO2-AIPH@PCM/PEG (ASAPP) by integrating the Au nanorods (Au NRs) and thermally activated alkyl free radical-releasing molecules (AIPH). Au NRs@mSiO2 was used as a photothermally responsive material and AIPH carrier, and the hot-melt phase-change material (PCM) was used as a capping agent to prevent leakage of AIPH during blood circulation. Upon NIR-II light irradiation, heat-triggered free radical release from AIPH was successfully achieved for killing cancer cells in vitro and in vivo without oxygen dependence, leading to synergistically enhanced antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Urinary sensing of synthetic biomarkers that are released into urine after specific activation in an in vivo disease environment is an emerging diagnosis strategy to overcome the insensitivity of a previous biomarker assay. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve sensitive and a specific urinary photoluminescence (PL) diagnosis. Herein, we report a novel urinary time-resolved PL (TRPL) diagnosis strategy by exploiting europium complexes of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Eu-DTPA) as synthetic biomarkers and designing the activatable nanoprobes. Notably, TRPL of Eu-DTPA in the enhancer can eliminate the urinary background PL for ultrasensitive detection. We achieved sensitive urinary TRPL diagnosis of mice kidney and liver injuries by using simple Eu-DTPA and Eu-DTPA-integrated nanoprobes, respectively, which cannot be realized by traditional blood assays. This work demonstrates the exploration of lanthanide nanoprobes for in vivo disease-activated urinary TRPL diagnosis for the first time, which might advance the noninvasive diagnosis of diverse diseases via tailorable nanoprobe designs.

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

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment-mediated ratiometric second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy contribute to accurate diagnosis and highly efficient therapy of deep tumors. However, it is challenging to integrate these functions into one nanodrug due to the difficulty in preparing triple-emission nanoprobes. In this work, single-excitation triple-emission (wavelength at 660, 1060, and 1550 nm) down-/up-conversion nanoassemblies were prepared by conjugating dual-ligands-stabilized gold nanoclusters (cgAuNCs) into down-/up-conversion nanoparticles (D/UCNPs), which simultaneously realized ratiometric NIR-II fluorescence imaging and chemo-/photodynamic combination therapy toward tumors upon exposure to an 808 nm laser. The presence of dual ligands endowed cgAuNCs with an enhanced NIR-II fluorescence response to endogenous glutathione, allowing in situ ratiometric NIR-II fluorescence imaging of tumors using the prepared nanoassemblies. Additionally, the stabilizing ligand cyclodextrin of cgAuNCs facilitated the loading of the antitumor drug doxorubicin, and D/UCNPs could be modified with the photosensitizer methylene blue. Such a spatially separated functionalization method enabled chemo-/photodynamic combination therapy. This study provides new insights into the design of multifunctional nanoplatforms for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
As the organs responsible for toxin transformation and excretion in the body, damage to the liver and kidneys induced by inevitable drug toxicity is the main cause of acute liver and kidney injury. P-Acetamidophenol overdose leads hypochlorous acid (HClO) to accumulate in the mitochondria of tissues, ultimately resulting in acute liver and kidney injury in humans, despite its clinical use as an antipyretic medicine. Herein, we report an HClO-activatable self-assembling ratiometric nanoprobe NRH-800-PEG for screening the upregulation of HClO by colocalization in mitochondria while monitoring the changes in the endogenous HClO levels in cells with ratiometric signals. Furthermore, NRH-800-PEG was constructed to evaluate injury by fluorescence ratio imaging in the tissues of inflammatory mice. Our strategy offers a novel tool for assessing disease progression during drug-induced liver and kidney injury.

Abstract
Early monitoring of gastrointestinal diseases via orally delivered NIR-II ratiometric fluorescent probes represents a promising noninvasive diagnostic modality, but is challenging due to the limitation of harsh digestive environment. Here, we report a single-component NIR-II ratiometric molecular nanoprobe (LC-1250 NP) to monitor gastrointestinal disease with high specificity to its biomarker H2O2 via oral administration. LC-1250 NP displays stable fluorescence in the channel of 1250 long-pass (F1250LP) before and after the gastrointestinal disease detection as the reference, while it presents significantly enhanced fluorescence signal in the response channel of 1150 nm short-pass (F1150SP) in diseased gastrointestinal environment due to the intramolecular cyclization of LC-1250 molecules activated by H2O2. The fluorescence ratio (F1150SP/F1250LP) increases linearly with the concentration of H2O2 with a low detection limit of 20 nM. Therefore, when delivered orally, LC-1250 NP can accurately map the diseased areas and surmount the false-positive interference from biological heterogeneity by NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence imaging, providing sensitive and reliable evaluation for the progress of gastroenteritis.

Abstract
Lanthanide based upconversion (UC) nanoprobes have emerged as promising agents for biological applications. Extending the excitation light to the second near-infrared (NIR-II), instead of the traditional 980/808 nm light, and realizing NIR-II responsive single-band red UC emission is highly demanded for bioimaging application, which has not yet been explored. Here, a new type of NIR-II (1532 nm) light responsive UC nanoparticles (UCNPs) with enhanced single-band red UC emission and controllable phase and size is designed by introducing Er3+ as sensitizer and utilizing Mn2+ as energy manipulator. Through tuning the content of Mn2+ in NaLnF4 :Er/Mn, the crystal phase, size, and emitting color are readily controlled, and the red-to-green (R/G) ratio is significantly increased from ≈20 to ≈300, leading to NIR-II responsive single band red emission via efficient energy transfer between Er3+ and Mn2+ . In addition, the single band red emitting intensity can be further improved by coating shell to avoid the surface quenching effect. More importantly, NIR-II light activated red UC bioimaging and photodynamic therapy through loading photosensitizer of zinc phthalocyanine are successfully achieved for the first time. These findings provide a new strategy of designing NIR-II light responsive single-band red emissive UCNPs for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of hepatic inflammation is the key to timely treatment and avoid the worsening of liver inflammation. Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) probes have high sensitivity but low spatial resolution in lesion imaging, while photoacoustic (PA) imaging has good spatial location information. Therefore, the development of a NIRF/PA dual-modal probe integrated with high sensitivity and spatial location feedback can achieve an accurate early diagnosis of hepatic inflammation. Here, we report an activatable NIRF/PA dual-modal probe (hCy-Tf-CA) for the detection of the superoxide anion (O2·-) in early hepatic inflammation. hCy-Tf-CA showed high selectivity and sensitivity for detecting O2·- fluctuation in vitro. More importantly, by introducing hepatocyte-targeting cholic acid (CA), the probe successfully achieved accurate in situ imaging of acute inflammatory liver injury (AILI) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in vivo. The introduced CA not only promotes the hepatic targeting accumulation of probes but also improves the performance of low background dual-modal imaging in vivo. Therefore, hCy-Tf-CA provides an effective strategy for significantly improving in situ imaging performance and holds great potential for early, sensitive, and accurate diagnosis of hepatic inflammation.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an essential signaling gas within the cell, and its endogenous levels are correlated with various health diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, Down's syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Because it plays such diverse biological functions, being able to detect H2S quickly and accurately in vivo is an area of heightened scientific interest. Using probes that fluoresce in the near-infrared (NIR) region is an effective and convenient method of detecting H2S. This approach allows for compounds of high sensitivity and selectivity to be developed while minimizing cytotoxicity. Herein, we report a review on the synthesis, mechanisms, optical properties, and selected biomedical applications of H2S sensors.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) therapy faces many challenges, especially the poor survival rate once metastasis occurs. Therefore, it is crucial to explore new OS treatment strategies that can efficiently inhibit OS metastasis. Bioactive nanoparticles such as zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) can efficiently inhibit OS growth, however, the effect and mechanisms of them on tumor metastasis are still not clear. In this study, we firstly prepared well-dispersed ZnO NPs and proved that ZnO NPs can inhibit OS metastasis-related malignant behaviors including migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). RNA-Seqs found that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ZnO NP-treated OS cells were enriched in wingless/integrated (Wnt) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway. We further proved that Zn2+ released from ZnO NPs induced downregulation of β-catenin expression via HIF-1α/BNIP3/LC3B-mediated mitophagy pathway. ZnO NPs combined with ICG-001, a β-catenin inhibitor, showed a synergistic inhibitory effect on OS lung metastasis and a longer survival time. In addition, tissue microarray (TMA) of OS patients also detected much higher β-catenin expression which indicated the role of β-catenin in OS development. In summary, our current study not only proved that ZnO NPs can inhibit OS metastasis by degrading β-catenin in HIF-1α/BNIP3/LC3B-mediated mitophagy pathway, but also provided a far-reaching potential of ZnO NPs in clinical OS treatment with metastasis. Zn2+ released from bioactive ZnO NPs trigger OS metastasis inhibition. ZnO NPs inhibit OS metastasis through degrading β-catenin expression via HIF-1α/BNIP3/LC3B-mediated mitophagy pathway. Tissue microarray of OS patients detected higher β-catenin expression which confirmed the potential of ZnO NPs in clinical.

Abstract
Over the last decade, a series of synergistic advances in the synthesis chemistries and imaging instruments have largely boosted a significant revolution, in which large-scale biomedical applications are now benefiting from optical bioimaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm). The large tissue penetration and limited autofluorescence associated with long-wavelength imaging improve translational potential of NIR-II imaging over common visible-light (400-650 nm) and NIR-I (750-900 nm) imaging, with ongoing profound effects on the studies of precision medicine. Unfortunately, the majority of NIR-II probes are designed as "always-on" luminescent imaging contrasts, continuously generating unspecific signals regardless of whether they reach pathological locations. Thus, in vivo imaging by traditional NIR-II probes usually suffers from weak detect precision due to high background noise. In this context, the advances of optical imaging now enter into an era of precise control of NIR-II photophysical kinetics. Developing NIR-II optical probes that can efficiently activate their luminescent signal in response to biological targets of interest and substantially suppress the background interferences have become a highly prospective research frontier. In this review, the merits and demerits of optical imaging probes from visible-light, NIR-I to NIR-II windows are carefully discussed along with the lens of stimuli-responsive photophysical kinetics. We then highlight the latest development in engineering methods for designing smart NIR-II optical probes. Finally, to appreciate such advances, challenges and prospect in rapidly growing study of smart NIR-II probes are addressed in this review.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescence nanosensors provide quantitative biological information. However, spectral shift and distortion of ratiometric nanosensors in biological media often compromise sensing accuracy, limiting in vivo applications. Here, we develop a fluorescent dyad (aBOP-IR1110) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window by covalently linking an asymmetric aza-BODIPY with a ONOO--responsive meso-thiocyanine. The dyad encapsulated in the PEGylated nanomicelle largely improves spectral fidelity in serum culture by >9.4 times compared to that of its noncovalent counterpart. The increased molecular weights (>1480 Da) and hydrophobicity (LogP of 7.87-12.36) lock dyads inside the micelles, which act as the shield against the external environment. ONOO--altered intramolecular Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) generates linear ratiometric response with better serum tolerance, enabling us to monitor the dynamics of oxidative stress in traumatic brain injury and evaluate therapeutic efficiency. The results show high correlation with in vitro triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, suggesting the potential of NIR-II dyad-doped nanosensor for in vivo high-fidelity sensing applications.

Abstract
Bone diseases are usually caused by abnormal metabolism and death of cells in bones, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, chondrocytes, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction, as an important cause of abnormal cell metabolism, is widely involved in the occurrence and progression of multiple bone diseases, including osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, osteoporosis, and osteosarcoma. As selective mitochondrial autophagy for damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria, mitophagy is closely related to mitochondrial quality control and homeostasis. Accumulating evidence suggests that mitophagy plays an important regulatory role in bone disease, indicating that regulating the level of mitophagy may be a new strategy for bone-related diseases. Therefore, by reviewing the relevant literature in recent years, this paper reviews the potential mechanism of mitophagy in bone-related diseases, including osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, osteoporosis, and osteosarcoma, to provide a theoretical basis for the related research of mitophagy in bone diseases.

Abstract
H2S, the smallest and simplest biological thiol in living systems, is the third member of the family of signaling mediators. H2S participates in the regulation of a series of complex physiological and pathological functions in the body, making it a critical fulcrum that balances health and disease in human physiology. Small-molecule fluorescent probes have been proven to possess the unique advantages of high temporal and spatial resolution, good biocompatibility and high sensitivity, and thus their use is a powerful approach for monitoring the level and dynamics of H2S in living cells and organisms and better understanding its basic cellular functions. The field of small-molecule fluorescent probes for monitoring the complex biological activities of H2S in vivo has been thriving in recent years. Herein, we systematically summarize the latest developments in the field of fluorescent probes for the detection of H2S, illustrate their biological applications according to the classification of target-responsive sites, and emphasize the development direction and challenges of H2S-responsive fluorescent probes, hoping to give implications of researchers on fluorescent probes for future research.

Abstract
Chemo-/radioresistance is the most important reason for the failure of glioblastoma (GBM) treatment. Reversing the chemo-/radioresistance of GBM for boosting therapeutic efficacy is very challenging. Herein, we report a significant decrease in the chemo-/radioresistance of GBM by the in situ generation of SO2 within a tumor, which was released on demand from the prodrug 5-amino-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene 2,2-dioxide (ATD) loaded on rare-earth-based scintillator nanoparticles (i.e., NaYF4:Ce@NaLuF4:Nd@ATD@DSPE-PEG5000, ScNPs) under X-ray irradiation. Our novel X-ray-responsive ScNPs efficiently converted highly penetrating X-rays into ultraviolet rays for controlling the decomposition of ATD to generate SO2, which effectively damaged the mitochondria of temozolomide-resistant U87 cells to lower the production of ATP and inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression to reduce drug efflux. Meanwhile, the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) of drug-resistant tumor cells was also reduced to prevent the repair of damaged DNA and enhance cell apoptosis and the efficacy of chemo-/radiotherapy. The tumor growth was obviously suppressed, and the mice survived significantly longer than untreated temozolomide-resistant GBM-bearing mice. Our work demonstrates the potential of SO2 in reducing chemo-/radioresistance to improve the therapeutic effect against resistant tumors if it can be well controlled and in situ generated in tumor cells. It also provides insights into the rational design of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems for the controlled release of drugs.

Herein, a linear polyethylene glycol (PEI) conjugated with dicyandiamide, which called polymeric metformin (PolyMet), was successfully synthesized as a simple and biocompatible polymer of metformin. PolyMet showed the potential to reverse MDR by inhibiting the efflux of the substrate of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter from DOX resistant MCF-7 cells (MCF-7/DOX). To test its MDR reversing effect, PolyMet was combined with DOX to treat mice carrying MCF-7/DOX xenografts. In order to decrease the toxicities of DOX and delivery PolyMet and DOX to tumor at the same time, PolyMet was complexed with poly-γ-glutamic acid-doxorubicin (PGA-DOX) electrostatically at the optimal ratio of 2:3, which were further coated with lipid membrane to form lipid/PolyMet-(PGA-DOX) nanoparticles (LPPD). The particle size of LPPD was 165.8 nm, and the zeta potential was +36.5 mV. LPPD exhibited favorable cytotoxicity and cellular uptake in MCF-7/DOX. Meanwhile, the bioluminescence imaging and immunohistochemical analysis indicated that LPPD effectively conquered DOX-associated MDR by blocking ABC transporters (ABCB1 and ABCC1) via PolyMet. Remarkably, LPPD significantly inhibited the tumor growth and lowered the systemic toxicity in a murine MCF-7/DOX tumor model. This is the first time to reveal that PolyMet can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of DOX by dampening ABC transporters and activating the AMPK/mTOR pathway, which is a promising strategy for drug-resistant breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Metformin is commonly used for clinical treatment of type-2 diabetes, but long-term or overdose intake of metformin usually causes selective upregulation of H2S level in the liver, resulting in liver injury. Therefore, tracking the changes of H2S content in the liver would contribute to the prevention and diagnosis of liver injury. However, in the literature, there are few reports on ratiometric PA molecular probes for H2S detection in drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Accordingly, here we developed a H2S-activated ratiometric PA probe, namely BDP-H2S, based Aza-BODIPY dye for detecting the H2S upregulation of metformin-induced liver injury. Due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, BDP-H2S exhibited a strong PA signal at 770 nm. Following the response to H2S, its ICT effect was recovered which showed a decrement of PA770 and an enhancement of PA840. The ratiometric PA signal (PA840/PA770) showed excellent H2S selectivity response with a low limit of detection (0.59 μM). Bioimaging experiments demonstrated that the probe has been successfully used for ratiometric PA imaging of H2S in cells and metformin-induced liver injury in mice. Overall, the designed probe emerges as a powerful tool for noninvasive and accurate imaging of H2S level and tracking its distribution and variation in liver in-real time.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn), derived from hydrogen sulfide (H2S), has attracted increasing attention, which is suggested to be the actual signal molecule instead of H2S in physiological and pathological processes. Reversible detection of H2Sn through a NIR-excitable fluorescence probe is an effective means to understand its functions but is quite challenging. Herein, we reported a NIR-excitable ratiometric nanoprobe for the reversible detection of H2Sn based on luminescence resonance energy transfer principle with upconversion nanoparticles as the energy donor and an organic molecule, SiR1, as the energy acceptor and reversible recognition unit of H2Sn. The as-prepared nanoprobe exhibited high selectivity and fast response for the reversible detection of H2Sn, which can monitor the formation and consumption of endogenous H2Sn in living cells. Because of the reduced autofluorescence by NIR excitation, it was successfully applied for tracking the fluctuation of H2Sn concentration of mice in physiological and pathological processes including inflammation and liver injury.

Abstract
Bacterial diseases pose a serious threat to human health. Continued development of precise diagnostic methods and synergistic therapy techniques for combating bacteria are needed. Herein a hybrid nanosystem (Ag2S@ZIF-Van NS) was constructed by one-step self-assembly of Zn2+, vancomycin (Van) and Ag2S quantum dots (QDs). The nanosystem possesses excellent second near-infrared transparency window (NIR-II) fluorescence properties (∼1200 nm emission wavelength), good photothermal conversion properties, and biocompatibility. The material system enables precise, targeted NIR-II fluorescent imaging of bacterial inflammation in vivo as well as promoting anti-bacterial and wound healing effects.

Abstract
Fluorescent bio/chemosensors are widely used in the field of biological research and medical diagnosis, with the advantages of non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, and good selectivity. In particular, luminescent bio/chemosensors, based on lanthanide nanocrystals (LnNCs) with a second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission, have attracted much attention, owing to greater penetration depth, aside from the merits of narrow emission band, abundant emission lines, and long lifetimes. In this review, NIR-II LnNCs-based bio/chemo sensors are summarized from the perspectives of the mechanisms of NIR-II luminescence, synthesis method of LnNCs, strategy of luminescence enhancement, sensing mechanism, and targeted bio/chemo category. Finally, the problems that exist in present LnNCs-based bio/chemosensors are discussed, and the future development trend is prospected.

Abstract
Most reported probes that respond to Cysteine (Cys) and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can only identify one analyte, or they were interfered with homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) when recognizing Cys and H2S. In addition, nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) ether, as one of thiols recognition sites, inevitably encounters the situation that Cys, GSH and H2S cannot be distinguished on the same channel at the cellular level. In this work, by introducing NBD ether and NBD amine, we constructed a bifunctional fluorescent probe NJB for dual-site response to Cys and H2S via PET & ICT processes. NJB has wonderful selectivity for identifying Cys and HS-, with limits of detection as low as 58.4 nM and 81.1 nM, respectively. Interestingly, NJB has been successfully applied to detect Cys and HS- in MCF-7 cells. Therefore, the probe that serves as a great tool for inquiring the physiological and pathological functions of Cys and H2S in living cells is promising.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) emerged as promising near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered nanotransducers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the traditionally used 980 nm excitation source could cause an overheating effect on biological tissues, and the single photosensitizer (PS) loading could not efficiently utilize multiradiation UC luminescence, resulting in a limited efficiency of PDT in tumor tissues with hypoxia characteristics. Herein, 808 nm light-responsive Nd-sensitized UCNPs@mSiO2@MnO2 core-shell NPs were designed as light nanotransducers with efficient UC emission at 550 and 650 nm for PDT and downshifting luminescence at 1525 nm for second NIR (NIR-II) imaging. UC emission was fully utilized by loading dual PSs, rose bengal (RB), and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), thus significantly improving the reactive oxide species (ROS) generation efficiency. Moreover, a manganese dioxide (MnO2) shell with ultrasensitive biodegradability in an acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) can generate an amount of oxygen molecules, alleviating the symptoms of hypoxia and then improving the efficacy of PDT. Meanwhile, the biodegraded Mn2+ ions can further strengthen T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This work presented a new multifunctional theranostic agent for combining NIR-II/MRI imaging and 808 nm light-triggered PDT to combat the limitations of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Understanding the biology of gasotransmitters in living cells is of significance but remains challenging due to largely a lack of robust molecular probes. Here, we present the facile design and synthesis of a bioorthogonal Raman probe, 4-azidobenzenethiol (4-ABT), for endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) imaging in single live cells by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). 4-ABT bears a thiol group and an azido group in the benzene ring, thus affording a bifunction to firmly bind to the gold nanoparticle surface and specifically respond to H2S. Moreover, the 4-ABT-based SERS nanoprobe shows a dose-dependent spectral change in the cellular Raman-silent region upon reacting with H2S, allowing ratiometric quantitative detection and visualization of intracellular H2S status without bio-interference. The ease of fabrication and superior performance of the novel SERS nanoprobe demonstrate its promising application in studies of H2S-related signaling networks.

Abstract
Liver injury-related diseases have aroused widespread concern due to its extreme unpredictability, acute onset, and severe consequences. Nowadays, the clinical prediction and assessment of liver injury mainly focus on histopathological and serological approaches, which undergoes a tedious process and sometimes requires invasive biopsy. Over the past decades, fluorescence imaging technique have emerged as a rising star for the diagnosis of diseases owing to its noninvasiveness, high fidelity and ease of operation. On regard to liver injury, the fluorescent probes have been delicately designed to response a variety of endogenous biomolecules to precisely offer comprehensive information about the lesion site. Herein, we make a brief summary and discussion about the design strategies and applications of the recently reported fluorescent biosensors responsive to a series of biomarkers involved in the liver injury. The potential prospects and remaining challenges are also discussed to promote the progression in this field.

Abstract
Bacteria is one of the main culprits that cause human diseases and pose long-term challenges to people's health. Rare earth elements have unique antibacterial advantages, but little research is available. In this paper, we reported an antibacterial composite film based on lanthanum-doped carbon quantum dot nanoparticles (La@N-P-CQDs) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film for fluorescence of antibiotics and accelerating wound healing. PVA/La@N-P-CQDs composite film presented excellent hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, fluorescence intensity, and antibacterial effects. The antibacterial activity of La@N-P-CQDs was evaluated by employing antibacterial assay using Escherichia coli (E.coli)and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) in vitro. La@N-P-CQDs showed enhanced antibacterial activity compared with N-P-CQDs. Moreover, the PVA/La@N-P-CQDs composite film with 0.5 mg/mL La@N-P-CQDs showed better antibacterial capability and wound healing performance than PVA and PVA/N-P-CQDs films in bacterial adhesion experiment. PVA/La@N-P-CQDs composite film could be used for wound dressing in vivo experiment and had no side effects on major organs in mice. The antibacterial composite film significantly promoted in vivo wound healing process because of its multifunctional properties. Therefore, it was an excellent candidate for wound dressing.

Abstract
Ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are emerging as promising luminescent nanoprobes for bioimaging due to their fantastic photoluminescence (PL) and renal-clearable ability. However, it remains a great challenge to design them for in vivo sensitive molecular imaging in desired tissues. Herein, we have developed a strategy to tailor the PL and biofate of near-infrared II (NIR-II)-emitting AuNCs via ligand anchoring for improved bioimaging. By optimizing the ligand types in AuNCs and using Er3+-doped lanthanide (Ln) nanoparticles as models, core-satellite Ln@AuNCs assemblies were rationally constructed, which enabled 2.5-fold PL enhancement of AuNCs at 1100 nm and prolonged blood circulation compared to AuNCs. Significantly, Ln@AuNCs with dual intense NIR-II PL (from AuNCs and Er3+) can effectively accumulate in the liver for ratiometric NIR-II imaging of H2S, facilitated by H2S-mediated selective PL quenching of AuNCs. We have then demonstrated the real-time imaging evaluation of liver delivery efficacy and dynamics of two H2S prodrugs. This shows a paradigm to visualize liver H2S delivery and its prodrug screening in vivo. Note that Ln@AuNCs are body-clearable via the hepatobiliary excretion pathway, thus reducing potential long-term toxicity. Such findings may propel the engineering of AuNC nanoprobes for advancing in vivo bioimaging analysis.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging technology (NIR-I region, 650-950 nm and NIR-II region, 1000-1700 nm), with deeper tissue penetration and less disturbance from auto-fluorescence than that in visible region (400-650 nm), is playing a more and more extensive role in the field of biomedical imaging. With the development of precise medicine, intelligent NIR fluorescent probes have been meticulously designed to provide more sensitive, specific and accurate feedback on detection. Especially, recently developed ratiometric fluorescent probes have been devoted to quantify physiological and pathological parameters with a combination of responsive fluorescence changes and self-calibration. Herein, we systemically introduced the construction strategies of NIR ratiometric fluorescent probes and their applications in biological imagingin vivo, such as molecular detection, pH and temperature measurement, drug delivery monitoring and treatment evaluation. We further summarized possible optimization on the design of ratiometric probes for quantitative analysis with NIR fluorescence, and prospected the broader optical applications of ratiometric probes in life science and clinical translation.

Abstract
Currently, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has become a huge concern for the majority of modern medicine, whereas the diagnosis of DILI is still in its infancy due to the lack of appropriate methods. Herein, based on the fact that nitric oxide (NO) has been recognized as an early unifying, direct, and vital biomarker for DILI, we rationally designed and developed a NO-responsive ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe DCNP@MPS@IR NO to quantitatively detect NO and monitor DILI in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window. In the presence of NO, due to the conversion of IR NO into IR RA and excellent stability of the downconversion nanoparticle (DCNP), DCNP@MPS@IR NO could present a "Turn-On" fluorescence signal at 1050 nm under 808 nm excitation (F1050 Em, 808 Ex) and an "Always-On" fluorescence signal at 1550 nm under 980 nm excitation (F1550 Em, 980 Ex), which led to a "Turn-On" ratiometric fluorescence signal F1050 Em, 808 Ex/F1550 Em, 980 Ex. DCNP@MPS@IR NO was then successfully applied in vitro to selectively detect NO, at a linear concentration range of 0-100 μM with a limit of detection of 0.61 μM. In vivo results revealed that DCNP@MPS@IR was available to quantify NO in acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury, monitor DILI, and screen an antidote for APAP through NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence imaging. We envision that our nanoprobe DCNP@MPS@IR NO might become a really useful biotechnology tool for visualizing and early diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury and revealing the mechanism of drug hepatotoxicity in the clinic in the near future.

Abstract
Accurate detection of hepatic hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) to monitor H2 S-related enzymes' activity is critical for acute hepatitis diagnosis, but remains a challenge due to the dynamic and transient nature of H2 S. Here, we report a H2 S-activatable near-infrared afterglow/MRI bimodal probe F1-GdNP, which shows an "always-on" MRI signal and "off-on" afterglow signal toward H2 S. F1-GdNP shows fast response, high sensitivity and specificity toward H2 S, permitting afterglow imaging of H2 S and evaluation of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE)'s activity in living mice. We further employ the high spatial-resolution MRI signal of F1-GdNP to track its delivery and accumulation in liver. Importantly, F1-GdNP offers a high signal-to-background ratio (SBR=86.2±12.0) to sensitively report on the increased hepatic H2 S level in the acute hepatitis mice via afterglow imaging, which correlated well with the upregulated CSE activity in the liver, showcasing the good potential of F1-GdNP for monitoring of acute hepatitis process in vivo.

Abstract
Research in novel materials has been extremely active over the past few decades, wherein a major area of interest has been nanoparticles with special optical properties. These structures can overcome some of the intrinsic limitations of contrast agents routinely used in medical practice, while offering additional functionalities. Materials that absorb or scatter near infrared light, to which biological tissues are partially transparent, have attracted significant attention and demonstrated their potential in preclinical research. In this review, we provide an at-a-glance overview of the most recent developments in near infrared nanoparticles that could have far-reaching applications in the life sciences. We focus on materials that offer additional functionalities besides diagnosis based on optical contrast: multiple imaging modalities (multimodal imaging), sensing of physical and chemical cues (multivariate diagnosis), or therapeutic activity (theranostics). Besides presenting relevant case studies for each class of optically active materials, we discuss their design and safety considerations, detailing the potential hurdles that may complicate their clinical translation. While multifunctional nanomaterials have shown promise in preclinical research, the field is still in its infancy; there is plenty of room to maximize its impact in preclinical studies as well as to deliver it to the clinics.
