Selective delivery of imaging probes and therapeutics to the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus: Current strategies and beyond. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2024:115386. [PMID: 38971180 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2024.115386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
To maximize therapeutic effects and minimize unwanted effects, the interest in drug targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi apparatus (GA) has been recently growing because two organelles are distributing hubs of cellular building/signaling components (e.g., proteins, lipids, Ca2+) to other organelles and the plasma membrane. Their structural or functional damages induce organelle stress (i.e., ER or GA stress), and their aggravation is strongly related to diseases (e.g., cancers, liver diseases, brain diseases). Many efforts have been developed to image (patho)physiological functions (e.g., oxidative stress, protein/lipid-related processing) and characteristics (e.g., pH, temperature, biothiols, reactive oxygen species) in the target organelles and to deliver drugs for organelle disruption using organelle-targeting moieties. Therefore, this review will overview the structure, (patho)physiological functions/characteristics, and related diseases of the organelles of interest. Future direction on ER or GA targeting will be discussed by understanding current strategies and investigations on targeting, imaging/sensing, and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
We report an integrated ratiometric lysosomal nitric oxide (NO) nanoprobe based on engineered semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots), LyNO-Pdots, which consist of a newly designed NO-responsive dye, a fluorescent conjugated polymer and two functional polymers. The developed probe LyNO-Pdots exhibit high specificity and stability, good photostability and favorable blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration ability. The LyNO-Pdots are successfully applied to ratiometric imaging of lysosomal NO variations in brain-derived endothelial cells, brain tissues and mice brains with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results demonstrate that the NO content in the brains of AD mice is considerably higher than that in normal mice.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a ubiquitous gaseous messenger, plays critical roles in various pathological and physiological progresses. The abnormal levels of NO in organisms are closely related to a large number of maladies. Mitochondria are the main area that produce NO in mammalian cells. Thus, detecting and real-time imaging of NO in mitochondria is of great significance for exploring the biological functions of NO. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescent biosensor (Mito-GNP-pNO520) is developed for sensitive and selective detection and real-time imaging of NO in mitochondria of living cells. The detection is achieved through the fluorescence off-on response of Mito-GNP-pNO520 toward NO. This biosensor shows excellent characteristics, such as high sensitivity toward NO with a low detection limit of 0.25 nM, exclusive selectivity to NO without interference from other substances, good biological stability and low cytotoxicity. More importantly, the biosensor is specifically located in mitochondria, enabling the detection and real-time imaging of endogenous and exogenous NO in mitochondria of living cells. Therefore, our biosensor offers a new approach for dynamic detecting and real-time imaging of NO in subcellular organelles, providing an opportunity to explore new biological effects of NO.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a ubiquitous gaseous transmitter in living systems, is closely associated with physiopathological processes in the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. This free radical gas is very widely but very heterogeneously distributed in the biological microenvironment, which poses a great challenge to specifically detect its localized levels in certain subcellular regions. In this study, we proposed six subcellular targeting probes by rational molecular engineering and selected two probes with optimal performance for the precise spatiotemporal identification of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomal NO fluctuations. The probes could rapidly undergo a N-nitrosation reaction with NO at a riveted subcellular location, blocking the initial photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process and generating bright fluorescence for precise mapping of NO in the ER and lysosomes. The screened probes have ultra-sensitive reactivity and ultra-low detection limits for NO, realizing the precise depiction of exogenous and endogenous NO in the corresponding subcellular area. Fluctuations in the subcellular levels of NO during inflammation were also successfully mapped by the probes. Our work will contribute to the accurate study of the physiological and pathological consequences of subcellular NO in various biological events.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is closely associated with cell apoptosis, autophagy, DNA damage, metabolism, and migration. When ER stress occurs, a large number of reactive oxygen species, including hypobromous acid (HOBr), are generated. The degree of ER stress can be understood by accurately detecting the HOBr concentration in the ER. Unfortunately, no ER-targetable probes for detecting HOBr have been reported to date. To solve this problem, we developed a naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe (ER-NABr) for imaging HOBr in the ER. Upon reaction with HOBr, a red shift in the fluorescence spectrum occurs due to the difference in the molecular conjugation between the original ER-NABr and the reaction product. ER-NABr showed a fast response (within 30 s) and high selectivity towards HOBr, with a ratiometric quantitative response (5-40 μM) and high sensitivity (138 nM). With its excellent biocompatibility and remarkable ER-targetable ability, ER-NABr was successfully utilized to ratiometrically image intracellular HOBr, particularly during ER stress, which is beneficial for revealing the role of HOBr in ER-associated diseases.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is highly critical for the sub-cellular protein synthesis, post-translational modifications and myriads of signalling pathways to maintain cellular homeostasis. Consequently, dysregulation in the ER functions leads to the ER stress in different pathological situations including cancer. Hence, exploring small molecules to induce ER stress emerged as one of the unorthodox strategies for future cancer therapeutics. However, development of ER targeted novel small molecules remains elusive due to the dearth of ER targeting moieties. Herein we have synthesized a small library of 3-methoxy-pyrrole-enamine through a concise strategy. Screening of this library in cervical (HeLa), colon (HCT-116), breast (MCF7) and lung cancer (A549) cells identified a novel small molecule which localized into the ER of the HeLa cervical cancer cells within 3 h, induced ER stress through the increased expression of ER stress markers (CHOP, IRE1α, PERK, BiP and Cas-12) and triggered the programmed cell death (apoptosis) leading to remarkable HeLa cell killing. This novel small molecule can be explored further as a tool to understand the chemical biology of ER towards the development of ER targeted cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
As highly dynamic organelles, lysosomes are involved in various physiological processes. The viscosity of lysosomes plays critical roles in maintaining their normal physiological function and abnormal variations of viscosity are associated with many diseases. Monitoring the changes of lysosomal viscosity could contribute to understanding lysosome-related physiological and pathological processes. In this work, based on an indole fluorophore and fluorescent polymer, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEM), a new polymeric fluorescent probe, In-PHEM, with dual responsive sites for tracking changes of lysosomal viscosity is presented. In-PHEM showed excellent fluorescence properties and high photostability. With this robust probe, the variation of the lysosomal viscosity in cells under different physiological conditions, including inducer stimulation, the process of starvation and apoptosis, was monitored using dual-channel imaging. Therefore, this work may provide a powerful tool for monitoring changes of lysosomal viscosity and helping to understand the relationship between the viscosity changes of lysosomes and their related diseases.

Fluorescence Enhancement of Adamantane-Modified Dyes in Aqueous Solution via Supramolecular Interaction with Methyl-β-cyclodextrin and Their Application in Cell Imaging.

Abstract
The fluorescence of functional dyes was generally quenched in aqueous solution, which hindered their application in water-bearing detections. In this work, a novel strategy based on host-guest interaction was provided for the purpose of fluorescence enhancement in aqueous solution and cell imaging. Three adamantane-modified fluorescent dyes (Coum-Ad, NP-Ad, NR-Ad) with coumarin, 1,8-naphthalimide and Nile Red as fluorophores were initially designed and prepared. The ((adamantan-1-yl)methyl)amino group, as the auxochrome of those dyes, complexed with methylated β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD) via supramolecular interaction, and then fluorescent supramolecular nanoparticles (FSNPs) were formed by self-assembly in water. The inclusion equilibrium constant (K) could be as high as 3.94×104 M-1 . With the addition of M-β-CD, fluorescence quantum yields of these dyes were separately improved to 69.8 %, 32.9 % and 41.3 %. Inspired by the above satisfactory results, six adamantane-modified probes organelle-NPAds with organelle-targeting capability were further obtained. As the formation of hydrogen bonds between organelle-NPAd2 and M-β-CD verified by theoretical calculation, K of organelle-NPAd2 (5.13×104 M-1 ~4.53×105 M-1 ) with M-β-CD was higher than that of organelle-NPAd1 (1.15×104 M-1 ~3.66×104 M-1 ) and their fluorescence quantum yields increased to 32.8 %~83.6 % in aqueous solution. In addition, fluorescence enhancement was realized in cell imaging with the addition of M-β-CD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and are not typically diagnosed until the disease has manifested. Endothelial dysfunction is an early, reversible precursor in the irreversible development of cardiovascular diseases and is characterized by a decrease in nitric oxide production. We believe that more reliable and reproducible methods are necessary for the detection of endothelial dysfunction. Both nitric oxide and calcium play important roles in the endothelial function. Here we review different types of molecular sensors used in biological settings. Next, we review the current nitric oxide and calcium sensors available. Finally, we review methods for using both sensors for the detection of endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) acts as an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintains the redox equilibrium in organisms. Imbalance of H2O2 concentration is associated with the development of many diseases. Traditional small molecular based fluorescent probes often show drawbacks of cytotoxicity and easily metabolic clearance. Herein, a chitosan-based two-photon fluorescent nanoprobe (DC-BI) was constructed and applied for H2O2 detection in live organisms. DC-BI was composed by chitosan nanoparticles and a two-photon fluorophore of naphthalimide analogues (BI) with H2O2-responsive property. The structure of DC-BI was characterized by NMR, FTIR, XPS, XRD, DLS and MLS analyses. As study shown, the nanoprobe DC-BI exhibited improved distribution stability and smaller cytotoxicity. In the presence of H2O2, both the absorption and emission spectra show dramatic changes, the fluorescence intensity at 580 nm obviously enhanced. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging results indicate that DC-BI is capable of imaging endogenous H2O2 in cells and zebrafish. The design and development of chitosan-based nanoprobe DC-BI has provided a general example of nanoprobe construction with excellent distribution stability, two-photon property, and biocompatibility.

Huang Y, Liang J, Fan Z. A review: Small organic molecule dual/multi-organelle-targeted fluorescent probes. Talanta 2023; 259:124529. [PMID: 37084606 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, the dual/multi-organelle-targeted fluorescent probe based on small organic molecules has good biocompatibility and can visualize the interaction between different organelles, which has attracted much attention. In addition, these probes can also be used to detect small molecules in the organelle environment, such as active sulfur species (RSS), reactive oxygen species (ROS), pH, viscosity and so on. However, the review of dual/multi-organelle-targeted fluorescent probe for small organic molecules lacks a systematic summary, which may hinder the development of this field. In this review, we will focus on the design strategies and bioimaging applications of dual/multi-organelle-targeted fluorescent probe, and classify them into six classes according to different organelles targeted. The first class probe targeted mitochondria and lysosome. The second class probe targeted endoplasmic reticulum and lysosome. The third class probe targeted mitochondria and lipid droplets. The fourth class probe targeted endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplets. The fifth class probe targeted lysosome and lipid droplets. The sixth class multi-targeted probe. The mechanism of these probes targeting organelles and the visualization of the interaction between different organelles are emphasized, and the prospect and future development direction of this research field are prospected. This will provide a systematic idea for the development and functional research of dual/multi-organelle-targeted fluorescent probe, and promote its research in related physiological and pathological medicine field in the future.

Abstract
As one of the most abundant metal ions, Cu2+ has turned into a great threat to human health and the natural environment due to its widely utilized in various industries. In this paper, a chitosan-based fluorescent probe CTS-NA-HY for detection and adsorption of Cu2+ was rationally prepared. CTS-NA-HY exhibited a specific "turn off" fluorescence response to Cu2+ and the fluorescence color changed from bright yellow to colorless. It possessed satisfactory detection performance to Cu2+ including good selectivity and anti-interference, low detection limit (29 nM) and wide pH range (4-9). The detection mechanism was confirmed by Job's plot, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FT-IR and 1H NMR analysis. Additionally, the probe CTS-NA-HY was capacity of determining Cu2+ in environmental water and soil samples. Besides, CTS-NA-HY-based hydrogel could also remove Cu2+ in aqueous solution effectively, which the ability of adsorption was greatly improved compared with original chitosan hydrogel.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the regulation of the immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems. Consequently, being able to monitor and quantify intracellular NO levels would provide a greater understanding of the implications of this molecule in the different biological processes, including, for example, in cancer. Here, we report a broadly applicable two-photon excitable fluorescent nanoprobe able to detect and potentially quantify NO levels in an extensive range of cellular environments. The nanoprobe consists of a thiolated photoinduced electron transfer-based two=photon fluorescent probe attached onto the surface of 2.4 ± 0.7 nm gold nanoparticles (DANPY-NO@AuNPs). The nanoprobe, which can be synthesised in a reproducible manner and exhibits great stability when stored at room temperature, is able to selectively detect NO in solution, with a dynamic range up to 150 μM, and at pH values of biological relevance. DANPY-NO@AuNPs were able to selectively detect endogenous NO in RAW264.7γ NO- macrophages and THP-1 human leukemic cells; and endogenous and exogenous NO in endothelial cells. The nanoprobe accumulated in the acidic organelles of the tested cell lines showing negligible toxicity. Importantly, DANPY-NO@AuNPs showed potential to quantify intracellular NO concentrations in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The biological evaluation of the nanoprobe was undertaken using confocal laser scanning (images and intracellular emission spectra) and multiphoton microscopies, and flow cytometry. Based on their excellent sensitivity and stability, and outstanding versatility, DANPY-NO@AuNPs can be applied for the spatiotemporal monitoring of in vitro and in vivo NO levels.

Abstract
Fluorescent molecular probes are very powerful tools that have been generally applied in cell imaging in the research fields of biology, pathology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and medical science. In the last couple of decades, numerous molecular probes endowed with high specificity to particular organelles have been designed to illustrate intracellular images in more detail at the subcellular level. Nowadays, the development of cell biology has enabled the investigation process to go deeply into cells, even at the molecular level. Therefore, probes that can sketch a particular organelle's location while responding to certain parameters to evaluate intracellular bioprocesses are under urgent demand. It is significant to understand the basic ideas of organelle properties, as well as the vital substances related to each unique organelle, for the design of probes with high specificity and efficiency. In this review, we summarize representative multifunctional fluorescent molecular probes developed in the last decade. We focus on probes that can specially target nuclei, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulums, and lysosomes. In each section, we first briefly introduce the significance and properties of different organelles. We then discuss how probes are designed to make them highly organelle-specific. Finally, we also consider how probes are constructed to endow them with additional functions to recognize particular physical/chemical signals of targeted organelles. Moreover, a perspective on the challenges in future applications of highly specific molecular probes in cell imaging is also proposed. We hope that this review can provide researchers with additional conceptual information about developing probes for cell imaging, assisting scientists interested in molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry to accelerate their scientific studies.

Abstract
Typical PeT-based fluorescent probes are multi-component systems where a fluorophore is connected to a recognition/activating group by an unconjugated linker. PeT-based fluorescent probes are powerful tools for cell imaging and disease diagnosis due to their low fluorescence background and significant fluorescence enhancement towards the target. This review provides research progress towards PeT-based fluorescent probes that target cell polarity, pH and biological species (reactive oxygen species, biothiols, biomacromolecules, etc.) over the last five years. In particular, we emphasise the molecular design strategies, mechanisms, and application of these probes. As such, this review aims to provide guidance and to enable researchers to develop new and improved PeT-based fluorescent probes, as well as promoting the use of PeT-based systems for sensing, imaging, and disease therapy.

Abstract
Two viscosity-sensitive two-photon fluorescent probes (QL and QLS) were designed and synthesized, which can be localized in lysosome and mitochondria in living HeLa cells, respectively. As the increases of viscosity from 2.55 to 1150 cP, the fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) of QL and QLS was increased by 28-fold and 37-fold, respectively. At the same time, its effective two-photon absorption cross section (ΦδTPA) was enhanced by 15-fold and 16-fold, respectively. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of living HeLa cells stained with QL and QLS, revealed that lysosomal viscosity ranged from 100.76 to 254.74 cP and mitochondrial viscosity ranged from 92.21 to 286.79 cP. This type of fluorescent probe is helpful in the design and application of materials for monitoring diseases associated with abnormal viscosity.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in many biological processes affecting the cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems. Intracellular NO can be monitored using fluorescent probes in combination with fluorescence imaging techniques. Most of the currently available NO fluorescent molecular probes are excited via one-photon excitation using UV or Vis light, which results in poor penetration and high photodamage to living tissues. Here, we report a two-photon fluorescent molecular probe, DANPY-NO, able to detect NO in live cells. The probe consists of an o-phenylenediamine linked to a naphthalimide core; and operates via photoinduced electron transfer. DANPY-NO exhibits good sensitivity (LOD of 77.8 nM) and high selectivity towards NO, and is stable over a broad range of pHs. The probe targeted acidic organelles within macrophages and endothelial cells, and demonstrated enhanced photostability over a commercially available NO probe. DANPY-NO was used to selectively detect endogenous NO in RAW264.7ϒ NO- macrophages, THP-1 human leukemic cells, primary mouse (bone marrow-derived) macrophages and endothelial cells. The probe was also able to detect exogenous NO in endothelial cells and distinguish between increasing concentrations of NO. The NO detection was evidenced using confocal laser scanning and two-photon microscopies, and flow cytometry. Further evidence was obtained by recording the changes in the intracellular fluorescence emission spectrum of the probe. Importantly, the probe displayed negligible toxicity to the analysed biological samples. The excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability and versatility of DANPY-NO confirm its potential for in vitro and in vivo imaging of NO.

Abstract
Primarily responsible for the biogenesis and metabolism of biomolecules, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are gradually becoming the targets of therapeutic modulation, whose physiological activities and pathological manifestations determine the functional capacity and even the survival of cells. Drug delivery systems with specific physicochemical properties (passive targeting), or modified by small molecular compounds, polypeptides, and biomembranes demonstrating tropism for ER and mitochondria (active targeting) are able to reduce the nonselective accumulation of drugs, enhancing efficacy while reducing side effects. Lipid nanoparticles feature high biocompatibility, diverse cargo loading, and flexible structure modification, which are frequently used for subcellular organelle-targeted delivery of therapeutics. However, there is still a lack of systematic understanding of lipid nanoparticle-based ER and mitochondria targeting. Herein, we review the pathological significance of drug selectively delivered to the ER and mitochondria. We also summarize the molecular basis and application prospects of lipid nanoparticle-based ER and mitochondria targeting strategies, which may provide guidance for the prevention and treatment of associated diseases and disorders. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a crucial neurotransmitter participating in many biological processes via nitrosylation reaction. NO produced in diverse subcellular regions also regulates the function of cells in different manners. A Golgi apparatus is rich in nitric oxide synthase and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, due to the lack of an effective tool, it is difficult to reveal the relationship between Golgi-NO and AD. Herein, we report Golgi-NO as the first Golgi-targeted fluorescent probe for sensing and imaging NO in the Golgi apparatus. The probe is designed and synthesized by incorporating 4-sulfamoylphenylamide as a Golgi-targeted moiety to 6-carboxyrhodamine B, generating a fluorophore of Golgi-RhB with modifiable carboxyl, which is then combined with the NO recognition moiety of o-diaminobenzene. The probe shows superior analytical performance including accurate Golgi-targeted ability and high selectivity for NO. Moreover, using the probe, we disclose a significant increase of NO in Golgi apparatus in the AD model. This study provides a competent tool for studying the function and nitrosylation of NO in the Golgi apparatus in related diseases.

[PMID: 35753358 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2022.110022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Gasotransmitters have gained significant recognition attributed to their evident biological impacts, and is accepted as a promising and less-explored area with immense research scope. The three-member family comprising of nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide as endogenous gaseous signaling molecules have been found to elicit a plethora of crucial biological functions, spawning a new research area. The sensing of these small molecules is vital to gain deeper insights into their functions, as they can act both as a friend or a foe in mammalian systems. The initial sections of the review present the physiological and pathophysiological roles of these endogenous gas transmitters and their synergistic interactions. Further, various detection approaches, especially the usage of fascinating features of 1,8-naphthalimide as fluorescent probe in the detection and monitoring of these small signaling molecules are highlighted. The current limitations and the future scope of improving the sensing of the three gasotransmitters are also discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes have been used widely in bioimaging, including biological substance detection, cell imaging, in vivo biochemical reaction process tracking, and disease biomarker monitoring, and have gradually occupied an indispensable position. Compared with traditional biological imaging technologies, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the attractive advantages of fluorescent probes, such as real-time imaging, in-depth visualization, and less damage to biological samples, have made them increasingly popular. Among them, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) fluorescent probes still occupy the mainstream in the field of fluorescent probes due to the advantages of available structure, simple synthesis, strong versatility, and wide application. In recent years, fluorescent probes have become an indispensable tool for bioimaging and have greatly promoted the development of diagnostics. In this review, we focus on the structure, design strategies, advantages, representative probes and latest discoveries in application fields of UV-visible fluorescent probes developed in the past 3-5 years based on several fluorophores. We look forward to future development trends of fluorescent probes from the perspective of bioimaging and diagnostics. This comprehensive review may facilitate the development of more powerful fluorescent sensors for broad and exciting applications in the future.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an indispensable organelle in eukaryotic cells involved in protein synthesis and processing, as well as calcium storage and release. Therefore, maintaining the quality of ER is of great importance for cellular homeostasis. Aberrant fluctuations of bioactive species in the ER will result in homeostasis disequilibrium and further cause ER stress, which has evolved to contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases. Therefore, the real-time monitoring of various bioactive species in the ER is of high priority to ascertain the mysterious roles of ER, which will contribute to unveiling the corresponding mechanism of organism disturbances. Recently, fluorescence imaging has emerged as a robust technique for the direct visualization of molecular events due to its outstanding sensitivity, high temporal-spatial resolution and noninvasive nature. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent progress in design strategies, bioimaging applications, potential directions and challenges of ER-targetable small-molecular fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Advances in developing organic fluorescent probes and fluorescence imaging techniques have enhanced our understanding of cell biology. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a dynamic structure that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, post-translational modifications, and lipid metabolism. The malfunction of ER contributes to several physiological and pathological conditions. Therefore, the investigations on the imaging and role of ER have attracted a lot of attention. Due to their simplicity, synthetic tunability, photostability, high quantum yields, easier cellular uptake, and lower cytotoxicity, organic fluorophores offer invaluable tools for the precision targeting of various cellular organelles and probe ER dynamics. The precision staining is made possible by incorporating specific functional groups having preferential and local organelle biomolecular interactions. For instance, functional moieties such as methyl sulfonamide, sulfonylurea, and pentafluorophenyl assist in ER targeting and thus have become essential tools to probe a deeper understanding of their dynamics. Furthermore, dual-function fluorescent probes that simultaneously image ER and detect specific physiological parameters or biological analytes were achieved by introducing special recognition or chemically reactive sites. This article attempts to comprehensively capture various design strategies currently employed by researchers utilizing small organic molecules to target the ER and detect specific analytes.

Abstract
Light-triggered carbon monoxide (CO) delivery molecules are of significant current interest for evaluating the role of CO in biology and as potential therapeutics. Herein we report the first example of a metal free CO delivery molecule that can be tracked via confocal microscopy at low micromolar concentrations in cells prior to CO release. The NEt2-appended extended flavonol (4) localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and lysosomes. Subcellular localization of 4 results in CO-induced toxicity effects that are distinct as compared to a nonlocalized analog. Anti-inflammatory effects of 4, as measured by TNF-α suppression, occur at the nanomolar level in the absence of CO release, and are enhanced with visible-light-induced CO release. Overall, the highly trackable nature of 4 enables studies of the biological effects of both a localized flavonol and CO release at low micromolar to nanomolar concentrations.

Abstract
Developing a novel tool capable of real-time monitoring and accurate quantification of NO is critical to understanding its role in physiological and pathological processes. Herein, a two-photon ratiometric fluorescent probe (NOP) was developed for real-time imaging and quantification of NO based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer-photoinduced electron transfer (FRET-PET). In this developed probe, coumarin (CM) and naphthalimide with o-phenylenediamine (NPM) were rationally designed as a fluorescent donor and acceptor, respectively, to enable a ratiometric fluorescence response to NO. The developed NO probe demonstrated good detection linearity with the concentration of NO in the range of 0.100–200 μM, with a detection limit of 19.5 ± 1.00 nM. Considering the advantages of high selectivity, good accuracy and rapid dynamic response (<15 s), the developed NO probe was successfully applied for real-time imaging and accurate quantification of NO in neural stem cells (NSCs) and different regions of mouse brain tissue with a penetration depth of 350 μm. Using this powerful tool, it was found that NO regulated the activation and differentiation of quiescent NSCs (qNSCs). In addition, NO-induced differentiation of qNSCs into neurons was found to be dose-dependent: 50.0 μM NO caused about 50.0% of qNSCs to differentiate into neurons. Moreover, different regions of the mouse brain were observed to be closely related to the concentration of NO, and the concentration of NO in the DG region was found to be lower than that in the S1BF, CA1, LD and CPu of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse brain. The symptoms of AD mice were significantly improved through the treatment with NO-activated NSCs in the DG region. Developing a novel tool capable of real-time monitoring and accurate quantification of NO is critical to understanding its role in physiological and pathological processes.![]()

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA), an economically important chemical, has become a global pollutant and poses a threat to human health. As a kind of reactive carbonyl species, the abnormal production and degradation of FA in cells are related to many diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to detect FA on the cell membrane and identify the internal and external sources of FA to analyse the causes of FA-induced physiological and pathological changes. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe Mem-FA was constructed by combining a dodecyl chain to target the cell membrane. Based on photoinduced electron transfer (PET), the probe relies on hydrazine as the receptor for FA recognition. Through this mechanism, the probe can detect FA sensitively, selectively and quantitatively. In addition, the probe Mem-FA can detect FA in vivo, especially the endogenous FA produced by tetrahydrofolate in a one-carbon cycle. More importantly, the probe Mem-FA can sensitively detect and distinguish the internal and external sources of FA on the cell membrane. Therefore, Mem-FA is capable of specifically tracing the fluctuations of FA-induced diseases.

Abstract
Whilte herbal medicines are widely used for health promotion and therapy for chronic conditions, inappropriate use of them may cause adverse effects like liver injury, and accurately evaluating their hepatotoxicity is of great significance for public health. Herein, an activatable probe QY-N for diagnosing herbal-medicine-induced liver injury by detecting hepatic NO with NIR-II fluorescence and multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) imaging is demonstrated. The probe includes a bismethoxyphenyl-amine-containing dihydroxanthene serving as electron donor, a quinolinium as electron acceptor, and a butylamine as recognition group and fluorescence quencher. The hepatic level of NO reacts with butylamine, thereby generating the activated probe QY-NO which exhibits a red-shifted absorption band (700-850 nm) for optoacoustic imaging and generates strong emission (910-1110 nm) for NIR-II fluorescence imaging. QY-NO is aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) active, which ensures strong emission in aggregated state. QY-N is utilized in the triptolide-induced liver injury mouse model, and experimental results demonstrate the QY-N can be activated by hepatic NO and thus be used in detecting herbal-medicine-induced liver injury. The temporal and spatial information provided by three-dimensional MSOT images well delineates the site and size of liver injury. Moreover, QY-N has also been employed to monitor rehabilitation of liver injury during treatment process.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) is the survival environment for tumor cells to proliferate and metastasize in deep tissue. TME contains tumor cells, immune cells, stromal cells and a variety of active molecules including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Inside the TME, ROS regulate the oxidation-reduction (redox) homeostasis and promote oxidative stress. Due to the rapid proliferation ability and specific metabolic patterns of the TME, ROS pervade virtually all complex physiological processes and play irreplaceable roles in protein modification, signal transduction, metabolism, and energy production in various tumors. Therefore, measurements of the dynamically, multicomponent simultaneous changes of ROS in the TME are of great significance to reveal the detailed proliferation and metastasis mechanisms of the tumor. Near-infrared (NIR) and two-photon (TP) fluorescence imaging techniques possess real-time, dynamic, highly sensitive, and highly signal-to-noise ratios with deep tissue penetration abilities. With the rationally designed probes, the NIR and TP fluorescence imaging techniques have been widely used to reveal the mechanisms of how ROS regulates and constructs complex signals and metabolic networks in TME. Therefore, we summarize the design principles and performances of NIR and TP fluorescence imaging of ROS in the TME in the last four years, as well as discuss the advantages and potentials of these works. This Review can provide guidance and prospects for future research work on TME and facilitate the development of antitumor drugs.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is one of the crucial sub-cellular organelles controlling myriads of functions including protein biosynthesis, folding, misfolding and unfolding. As a result, dysregulation of these pathways in the ER is implicated in cancer development and progression. Subsequently, targeting the ER in cancer cells emerged as an interesting unorthodox strategy in next-generation anticancer therapy. However, development of small molecules to selectively target the ER for cancer therapy remained elusive and unexplored. To address this, herein, we have developed a novel small molecule library of sulfonylhydrazide-hydrazones through a short and concise chemical synthetic strategy. We identified a fluorescent small molecule that localized into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of HeLa cells, induced ER stress followed by triggering autophagy which was subsequently inhibited by chloroquine (autophagy inhibitor) to initiate apoptosis. This small molecule showed remarkable cancer cell killing efficacy in different cancer cells as mono and combination therapy with chloroquine, thus opening a new direction to illuminate ER-biology towards the development of novel anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a critical cell signaling molecule with important roles in both normal cellular physiology and pathology. Over the past 20 years, multiple sensing modalities have been developed for the intracellular synthesis (endogenous) and release (exogenous) of NO. In this review, we survey the historical progression of NO sensing platforms, highlight the current state of the art, and offer a forward-looking view of how we expect the field of NO sensing to develop in the context of recent advances in bio-nanotechnology and nanoscale cellular biosensors.

Abstract
Cellular metabolites play a crucial role in promoting and regulating cellular activities, but it has been difficult to monitor these cellular metabolites in living cells and in real time. Over the past decades, iterative development and improvements of fluorescent probes have been made, resulting in the effective monitoring of metabolites. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the use of fluorescent probes for tracking some key metabolites, such as adenosine triphosphate, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cyclic guanosine 5'-monophosphate, Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reactive oxygen species, sugar, carbon monoxide, and nitric oxide for both whole cell and subcellular imaging.

Abstract
As an important organelle, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) participates in the synthesis and secretion of various proteins, glycogen, lipids and cholesterol in eukaryotic cells. In this work, an endoplasmic reticulum-targeted reversible fluorescent probe (ER-Se) was designed and synthesized. The probe, based on a selenide group, shows high sensitivity and good selectivity toward HClO (LOD = 0.85 μM). In addition, the probe has reversible capability towards HClO/GSH. Most importantly, co-location experiment results indicated that the probe exhibited a great ability to target the endoplasmic reticulum. Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied to detect exogenous and endogenous HClO in ER and monitored the redox status changes during ER stress.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common gastrointestinal inflammatory disease, affecting a huge number of people worldwide with increasing morbidity each year. Although the etiology of IBD has not been fully elucidated, it is understood to be closely related to upregulation of the production of NO. Herein, we first report a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D)-type near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe LS-NO for real-time detection of NO in IBD by harnessing the enhanced intramolecular charge transfer mechanism. LS-NO exhibited good water solubility, high photostability, and excellent NIR absorbance and emission at 700 and 750/800 nm, respectively. Moreover, it was able to sensitively and specifically detect exogenous and endogenous NO in the lysosomes of living cells. Notably, LS-NO enabled to noninvasively visualize NO generation in a lipopolysaccharide-induced IBD mouse model for 30 h, showing a two- to threefold higher NIR fluorescence intensity in the intestines and feces of IBD mice than normal mice. This work demonstrates that LS-NO is promising as a diagnosis agent for real-time detection of NO in IBD and may promote inflammatory stool examination simultaneously.

Abstract
A series of viscosity sensitive fluorescent probes 1a-e were synthesized by linking coumarin and oxazolopyridinium via dimethylene in this paper. The viscosity test of probes 1a-e indicated that the fluorescence intensity of the probes enhanced significantly with the increase of viscosity of the system (0.89-865 cP), and exhibited a nearly OFF-ON response to viscosity at 648 nm, 650 nm and 650 nm, respectively. In addition, cells still had a high survival rate after co-culturing with probes 1a-e for 12 h (94-98%). Meanwhile, the laser confocal experiment showed that the variation of the carbon chain length in the oxazolopyridinium could affect the subcellular region of the localization of the probes in cells. When the length of the carbon chain in oxazolopyridinium was between n-C7H15 and n-C12H23, probes 1b-d had the ability to target the endoplasmic reticulum in the cells. Moreover, probes 1b-d showed no significant change in fluorescence intensity after 35 min of continuous laser confocal irradiation, indicating that they had excellent anti-photobleaching properties.

Abstract
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a significant bio-analytical technique for specific detection of nitric oxide (NO) and for broadcasting the in vitro and in vivo biological activities of this gasotransmitter. Herein, a benzo-coumarin embedded smart molecular probe (BCM) is employed for NO sensing through detailed fluorescence studies in purely aqueous medium. All the spectroscopic analysis and literature reports clearly validate the mechanistic insight of this sensing strategy i.e., the initial formation of 1,2,3,4-oxatriazole on treatment of the probe with NO which finally converted to its carboxylic acid derivative. This oxatriazole formation results in a drastic enhancement in fluoroscence intensity due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect. The kinetic investigation unveils the second and first-order dependency on [NO] and [BCM] respectively. The very low detection limit (16 nM), high fluorescence enhancement (123 fold) in aqueous medium and good formation constant (Kf = (4.33 ± 0.48) × 104 M-1) along with pH invariability, non-cytotoxicity, biocompatibility and cell permeability make this probe a very effective one for tracking NO intracellularly.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous, volatile, cellular signaling molecule that operates across a wide physiological concentration range (pM-µM) in different tissues. It is a highly diffusible messenger and intermediate in various metabolic pathways. NO plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimum cardiovascular function, particularly by regulating vascular tone and blood flow. This review highlights the need for accurate, real-time bioimaging of NO in clinical diagnostic, therapeutic, monitoring, and theranostic applications within the cardiovascular system. We summarize electrochemical, optical, and nanoscale sensors that allow measurement and imaging of NO, both directly and indirectly via surrogate measurements. The physical properties of NO render it difficult to accurately measure in tissues using direct methods. There are also significant limitations associated with the NO metabolites used as surrogates to indirectly estimate NO levels. All these factors added to significant variability in the measurement of NO using available methodology have led to a lack of sensors and imaging techniques of clinical applicability in relevant vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease. Challenges in applying current methods to biomedical and clinical translational research, including the wide physiological range of NO and limitations due to the characteristics and toxicity of the sensors are discussed, as are potential targets and modifications for future studies. The development of biocompatible nanoscale sensors for use in combination with existing clinical imaging modalities provides a feasible opportunity for bioimaging NO within the cardiovascular system.

An efficient method is reported to prepare endoplasmic reticulum-targetable dual-metallic gold-silver nanoclusters, denoted as ER-Au/Ag nanoclusters (NCs), by virtue of a rationally designed molecular ligand. The prepared ER-Au/Ag NCs possesses red-emitting fluorescence with a strong emission at 622 nm and a high fluorescence quantum yield of 5.1%, which could avoid the influence of biological auto-fluorescence. Further investigation results showed that ER-Au/Ag NCs exhibited superior photostability, minimal cytotoxicity, and ER-targeting capability. Enabled by these meritorious features, ER-Au/Ag NCs have been successfully employed for long-term bioimaging of ER in living cells.Graphical abstract A sensitive non-enzymatic fluorescent glucose probe-based ZnO nanorod decorated with Au nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important gaseous signaling molecule related to various human diseases. To investigate the biological functions of NO, many strategies have been developed for real-time monitoring the NO levels in biological systems. Among these strategies, fluorescent probes are considered to be one of the most efficient and applicable methods owing to their excellent sensitivity and selectivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, noninvasiveness, and experimental convenience. Therefore, great efforts have been paid to the design, synthesis, and fluorescence investigation of novel NO fluorescent probes in the past several years. However, few of them exhibit practical applications owing to the low concentration, short half-life, and rapid diffusion characteristics of NO in biological systems. Rational design of NO fluorescent probes with excellent selectivity and sensitivity, low cytotoxicity, long-lived fluorescent emission, and low background interference is still a challenge for scientists all over the word. To provide spatial-temporal information, this article focuses on the progress made in the organic and metal complex-based NO fluorescent probes during the past five years. The key structural elements and sensing mechanisms of NO fluorescent probes are discussed. Some novel ratiometric, luminescence, and photoacoustic probes with low background interference and deep tissue penetrating ability are mentioned. All these probes have been used for imaging exogenous and endogenous NO in cells and animal models. More importantly, this article also describes the development of multi-functional NO fluorescent probes, such as organelle targeting probes, dual-analysis probes, and probe-drug conjugates, which will inspire the design of various functional fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (PNT) is a highly reactive oxidant that plays a key role in the destruction of foreign pathogens by specific phagocytic immune cells such as macrophages. However, when its production is dysregulated, this oxidant can contribute to cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, and cancer. To facilitate the detection of PNT in living cells, we designed and synthesized a fluorescent sensor termed PS3 that accumulates in membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This subcellular targeting enhances the proximity of PS3 to the phagosome of macrophages where PNT is generated. When PS3-treated macrophages are stimulated with 10 µm opsonized tentagel microspheres, antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) of these particles results in production of endogenous PNT, oxidative cleavage of the fluorescence-quenching phenolic side chain of PS3, and increased fluorescence that can be detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy, flow cytometry, and other assays. We describe methods for the synthesis of PS3 and evaluation of its photophysical properties, selectivity, and reactivity. We further report differential production of PNT during ADCP by the phagocytic cell lines RAW 264.7, J774A.1, and THP-1, as detected by confocal microscopy and changes in fluorescence intensity on 96-well plates. This approach may be useful for identification of modulators of PNT and related studies of ADCP.

Abstract
Endogenous gaseous signaling molecules including nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been demonstrated to perform significant physiological and pharmacological functions and are associated with various diseases in biological systems. In order to obtain a deeper insight into their roles and mechanisms of action, it is desirable to develop novel techniques for effectively detecting gaseous signaling molecules. Small-molecule fluorescent probes have been proven to be a powerful approach for the detection and imaging of biological messengers by virtue of their non-invasiveness, high selectivity, and real-time in situ detection capability. Based on the intrinsic properties of gaseous signaling molecules, numerous fluorescent probes have been constructed to satisfy various demands. In this perspective, we summarize the recent advances in the field of fluorescent probes for the detection of NO, CO and H2S and illustrate the design strategies and application examples of these probes. Moreover, we also emphasize the challenges and development directions of gasotransmitter-responsive fluorescent probes, hoping to provide a general implication for future research.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 229:117992. [PMID: 31935654 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2019.117992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2019] [Revised: 12/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/22/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
With the development of social society, sleep deprivation has become a serious and common issue. Previous studies documented that there is a correlation between sleep deprivation and oxidative stress. However, the information of sleep deprivation related ROS has rarely been obtained. Also, it has been demonstrated that sleep deprivation can induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. As such, for a better understanding of sleep deprivation as well as its related diseases, it is important to develop probes with ER-targeting ability for detecting ROS generated in this process. Herein, a novel two-photon fluorescent molecular probe, JX-1, was designed for sensing HClO in live cells and zebrafish. The investigation data showed that in addition to real-time response (about 150 s), the probe also exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, the probe JX-1 demonstrated two-photon fluorescence, low cytotoxicity and ER targeting ability. These prominent properties enabled the utilization of the probe for monitoring exogenous and endogenous HClO in both live cells and zebrafish. Using this useful tool, it was found that sleep deprivation can induce the generation of HClO in zebrafish.
