Chen S, Zhuang D, Jia Q, Guo B, Hu G. Advances in Noninvasive Molecular Imaging Probes for Liver Fibrosis Diagnosis. Biomater Res 2024; 28:0042. [PMID: 38952717 PMCID: PMC11214848 DOI: 10.34133/bmr.0042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a wound-healing response to chronic liver injury, which may lead to cirrhosis and cancer. Early-stage fibrosis is reversible, and it is difficult to precisely diagnose with conventional imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and ultrasound imaging. In contrast, probe-assisted molecular imaging offers a promising noninvasive approach to visualize early fibrosis changes in vivo, thus facilitating early diagnosis and staging liver fibrosis, and even monitoring of the treatment response. Here, the most recent progress in molecular imaging technologies for liver fibrosis is updated. We start by illustrating pathogenesis for liver fibrosis, which includes capillarization of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, cellular and molecular processes involved in inflammation and fibrogenesis, as well as processes of collagen synthesis, oxidation, and cross-linking. Furthermore, the biological targets used in molecular imaging of liver fibrosis are summarized, which are composed of receptors on hepatic stellate cells, macrophages, and even liver collagen. Notably, the focus is on insights into the advances in imaging modalities developed for liver fibrosis diagnosis and the update in the corresponding contrast agents. In addition, challenges and opportunities for future research and clinical translation of the molecular imaging modalities and the contrast agents are pointed out. We hope that this review would serve as a guide for scientists and students who are interested in liver fibrosis imaging and treatment, and as well expedite the translation of molecular imaging technologies from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) represent a class of nanoscale wide bandgap semiconductors, and are primarily composed of metals, lipids, or polymers. Their unique electronic and optical properties, which stem from their wide bandgap characteristics, offer significant advantages for early cancer detection and treatment. Metal QDs have already demonstrated therapeutic potential in early tumor imaging and therapy. However, biological toxicity has led to the development of various non-functionalized QDs, such as carbon QDs (CQDs), graphene QDs (GQDs), black phosphorus QDs (BPQDs) and perovskite quantum dots (PQDs). To meet the diverse needs of clinical cancer treatment, functionalized QDs with an array of modifications (lipid, protein, organic, and inorganic) have been further developed. These advancements combine the unique material properties of QDs with the targeted capabilities of biological therapy to effectively kill tumors through photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other means. In addition to tumor-specific therapy, the fluorescence quantum yield of QDs has gradually increased with technological progress, enabling their significant application in both in vivo and in vitro imaging. This review delves into the role of QDs in the development and improvement of clinical cancer treatments, emphasizing their wide bandgap semiconductor properties.

Abstract
Electrochemistry-based light-emitting devices have gained considerable attention in different applications such as sensing and optical imaging. In particular, such systems are an interesting alternative for the development of multimodal light-emitting platforms. Herein we designed a multicolor light-emitting array, based on the electrochemical switch-on of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a different intrinsic threshold voltage. Thermodynamically and kinetically favored coupled redox reactions, i. e. the oxidation of Mg and the reduction of protons on Pt, act as driving force to power the diodes. Moreover, this system enables to trigger an additional light emission based on the interfacial reductive-oxidation electrochemiluminescence (ECL) mechanism of the Ru(bpy)3 2+/S2O8 2- system. The synergy between these light-emission pathways offers a multimodal platform for the straightforward optical readout of physico-chemical information based on composition changes of the solution.

[PMID: 38855734 PMCID: PMC11162642 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s453601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to construct targeting drug-loading nanocomposites (FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes) to explore their potential in ovarian cancer therapy and molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MMRI). Methods FA-FePt-NPs were prepared by coupling folate (FA) with polyethylene-glycol (PEG)-coated ferroplatinum nanoparticles and characterized. Then cisplatin (DDP) was encapsulated in FA-FePt-NPs to synthesize FA-PEG-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes by thin film-ultrasonic method and high-speed stirring, of which MMRI potential, magnetothermal effect, and the other involved performance were analyzed. The therapeutic effect of FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes combined with magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) on ovarian cancer in vitro and in vivo was evaluated. The expression levels of Bax and epithelial-mesenchymal transition related proteins were detected. The biosafety was also preliminarily observed. Results The average diameter of FA-FePt-NPs was about 30 nm, FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes were about 70 nm in hydrated particle size, with drug slow-release and good cell-specific targeted uptake. In an alternating magnetic field (AMF), FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes could rapidly reach the ideal tumor hyperthermia temperature (42~44 °C). MRI scan showed that FA-FePt-NPs and FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes both could suppress the T2 signal, indicating a good potential for MMRI. The in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that FA-FePt/DDP-NPs in AMF could effectively inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, and inducing cancer cell apoptosis, much better than that of the other individual therapies; molecularly, E-cadherin and Bax proteins in ovarian cancer cells and tissues were significantly increased, while N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Bcl-2 proteins were inhibited, effectively inhibiting the malignant progression of ovarian cancer. In addition, no significant pathological injury and dysfunction was observed in major visceras. Conclusion We successfully synthesized FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes and confirmed their good thermochemotherapeutic effect in AMF and MMRI potential on ovarian cancer, with no obvious side effects, providing a favorable strategy of integrated targeting therapy and diagnosis for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major noncommunicable diseases, responsible for millions of deaths every year worldwide. Though various cancer detection and treatment modalities are available today, many deaths occur owing to its late-stage detection and metastatic nature. Noninvasive detection using luminescence-based imaging tools is considered one of the promising techniques owing to its low cost, high sensitivity, and brightness. Moreover, these tools are unique and valuable as they can detect even the slightest changes in the cellular microenvironment. To achieve this, a fluorescent probe with strong tumor uptake and high spatial and temporal resolution, especially with high water solubility, is highly demanded. Recently, several water-soluble molecules with emission windows in the visible (400-700 nm), first near-infrared (NIR-I, 700-1000 nm), and second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) windows have been reported in literature. This review highlights recently reported water-soluble small organic fluorophores/dyes with applications in cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. We systematically highlight and describe the key concepts, structural classes of fluorophores, strategies for imparting water solubility, and applications in cancer therapy and diagnosis, i.e., theragnostics. We discuss examples of water-soluble fluorescent probes based on coumarin, xanthene, boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY), and cyanine cores. Some other emerging classes of dyes based on carbocyclic and heterocyclic cores are also discussed. Besides, emerging molecular engineering methods to obtain such fluorophores are discussed. Finally, the opportunities and challenges in this research area are also delineated.

Abstract
Applying a single molecular probe to monitor enzymatic activities in multiple, complementary imaging modalities is highly desirable to ascertain detection and to avoid the complexity associated with the use of agents of different chemical entities. We demonstrate here the versatility of lanthanide (Ln3+) complexes with respect to their optical and magnetic properties and their potential for enzymatic detection in NIR luminescence, CEST and T1 MR imaging, controlled by the nature of the Ln3+ ion, while using a unique chelator. Based on X-ray structural, photophysical, and solution NMR investigations of a family of Ln3+ DO3A-pyridine model complexes, we could rationalize the luminescence (Eu3+, Yb3+), CEST (Yb3+) and relaxation (Gd3+) properties and their variations between carbamate and amine derivatives. This allowed the design ofL n L G a l 5 ${{{\bf L n L}}_{{\bf G a l}}^{5}}$ probes which undergo enzyme-mediated changes detectable in NIR luminescence, CEST and T1-weighted MRI, respectively governed by variations in their absorption energy, in their exchanging proton pool and in their size, thus relaxation efficacy. We demonstrate that these properties can be exploited for the visualization of β-galactosidase activity in phantom samples by different imaging modalities: NIR optical imaging, CEST and T1-weighted MRI.

Site-specific introduction of multiple components into peptides is greatly needed for the preparation of densely functionalized and structurally uniform peptides. In this regard, N-terminal-specific peptide modification is attractive, but it can be difficult due to the presence of highly nucleophilic lysine ϵ-amine. In this work, we developed a method for the N-terminal-specific dual modification of peptides through a three-component [3+2] cycloaddition with aldehydes and maleimides under mild copper catalysis. This approach enables exclusive functionalization at the glycine N-terminus of iminopeptides, regardless of the presence of lysine ϵ-amine, thus affording the cycloadducts in excellent yields. Tolerating a broad range of functional groups and molecules, the present method provides the opportunity to rapidly construct doubly functionalized peptides using readily accessible aldehyde and maleimide modules.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC)/downconversion (DC)-luminescent lanthanide-doped nanocrystals (LDNCs) with near-infrared (NIR, 650-1700 nm) excitation have been gaining increasing popularity in bioimaging. However, conventional NIR-excited LDNCs cannot be degraded and eliminated eventually in vivo owing to intrinsic "rigid" lattices, thus constraining clinical applications. A biodegradability-tunable heterogeneous core-shell-shell luminescent LDNC of Na3HfF7:Yb,Er@Na3ZrF7:Yb,Er@CaF2:Yb,Zr (abbreviated as HZC) was developed and modified with oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) for multimode bioimaging. The dynamic "soft" lattice-Na3Hf(Zr)F7 host and the varying Zr4+ doping content in the outmoster CaF2 shell endowed HZC with tunable degradability. Through elaborated core-shell-shell coating, Yb3+/Er3+-coupled UC red and green and DC second near-infrared (NIR-II) emissions were, respectively, enhanced by 31.23-, 150.60-, and 19.42-fold when compared with core nanocrystals. HZC generated computed tomography (CT) imaging contrast effects, thus enabling NIR-II/CT/UC trimodal imaging. OSA modification not only ensured the exemplary biocompatibility of HZC but also enabled tumor-specific diagnosis. The findings would benefit the clinical imaging translation of LDNCs.

Abstract
The central nervous system (CNS) maintains homeostasis with its surrounding environment by restricting the ingress of large hydrophilic molecules, immune cells, pathogens, and other external harmful substances to the brain. This function relies heavily on the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (B-CSF) and blood-brain barrier (BBB). Although considerable research has examined the structure and function of the BBB, the B-CSF barrier has received little attention. Therapies for disorders associated with the central nervous system have the potential to benefit from targeting the B-CSF barrier to enhance medication penetration into the brain. In this study, we synthesized a nanoprobe ANG-PEG-UCNP capable of crossing the B-CSF barrier with high targeting specificity using a hydrocephalus model for noninvasive magnetic resonance ventriculography to understand the mechanism by which the CSF barrier may be crossed and identify therapeutic targets of CNS diseases. This magnetic resonance nanoprobe ANG-PEG-UCNP holds promising potential as a safe and effective means for accurately defining the ventricular anatomy and correctly locating sites of CSF obstruction.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are gaining a lot more attention than traditional semiconductor quantum dots owing to their intrinsic fluorescence property, chemical inertness, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and simple and inexpensive synthetic route of preparation. These properties allow CQDs to be utilized for a broad range of applications in various fields of scientific research including biomedical sciences, particularly in bioimaging and biomedicines. CQDs are a promising choice for advanced nanomaterials research for bioimaging and biomedicines owing to their unique chemical, physical, and optical properties. CQDs doped with hetero atom, or polymer composite materials are extremely advantageous for biochemical, biological, and biomedical applications since they are easy to prepare, biocompatible, and have beneficial properties. This type of CQD is highly useful in phototherapy, gene therapy, medication delivery, and bioimaging. This review explores the applications of CQDs in bioimaging and biomedicine, highlighting recent advancements and future possibilities to increase interest in their numerous advantages for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Activatable dual-modal molecular imaging probes present a promising tool for the diagnosis of malignant tumors. However, synchronously enhancing dual-modal imaging signals under a single stimulus is challenging. Herein, we propose an activatable bimodal probe that integrates aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) and iron oxide nanoparticles (IOs) to synergistically enhance near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) intensity and magnetic resonance (MR) contrast through a tumor acidity-mediated click reaction. Tumor acidity-responsive IOs containing dibenzocyclooctyne groups (termed cDIOs) and AIEgens containing azide groups (termed AATs) can be covalently cross-linked in response to tumor acidity, which leads to a simultaneous enhancement in NIRF intensity (≈12.4-fold) and r2 relaxivity (≈2.8-fold). cDIOs and AATs were effectively activated in mice orthotropic breast tumor, and the cross-linking prolonged their retention in tumor, further augmenting the bimodal signals and expanding imaging time frame. This facile strategy leverages the inherent properties of probes themselves and demonstrates promise in future translational studies.

Abstract
The extraordinary and unique properties of persistent luminescent (PerLum) nanostructures like storage of charge carriers, extended afterglow, and some other fascinating characteristics like no need for in-situ excitation, and rechargeable luminescence make such materials a primary candidate in the fields of bio-imaging and therapeutics. Apart from this, due to their extraordinary properties they have also found their place in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, latent fingerprinting (LPF), luminescent markings, photocatalysis, solid-state lighting devices, glow-in-dark toys, etc. Over the past few years, persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been extensively used for targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging guided photodynamic and photo-thermal therapy, biosensing for cancer detection and subsequent treatment, latent fingerprinting, and anti-counterfeiting owing to their enhanced charge storage ability, in-vitro excitation, increased duration of time between excitation and emission, low tissue absorption, high signal-to-noise ratio, etc. In this review, we have focused on most of the key aspects related to PLNPs, including the different mechanisms leading to such phenomena, key fabrication techniques, properties of hosts and different activators, emission, and excitation characteristics, and important properties of trap states. This review article focuses on recent advances in cancer theranostics with the help of PLNPs. Recent advances in using PLNPs for anti-counterfeiting and latent fingerprinting are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Here, we propose for the first time the evaluation of magnetosensitive clMagR/clCry4 as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reporter gene that imparts sensitivity to endogenous contrast in eukaryotic organisms. Using a lentiviral vector, we introduced clMagR/clCry4 into C57BL/6 mice-derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs), which could specifically bind with iron, significantly affected MRI transverse relaxation, and generated readily detectable contrast without adverse effects in vivo. Specifically, clMagR/clCry4 makes mBMSCs beneficial for enhancing the sensitivity of MRI-R2 for iron-bearing granules, in which cells recruit exogenous iron and convert these stores into an MRI-detectable contrast; this is not achievable with control cells. Additionally, Prussian blue staining was performed together with ultrathin cell slices to provide direct evidence of natural iron-bearing granules being detectable on MRI. Hence, it was inferred that the sensitivity of MRI detection should be correlated with clMagR/clCry4 and exogenous iron. Taken together, the clMagR/clCry4 has great potential as an MRI reporter gene. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we propose the evaluation of magnetosensitive clMagR/clCry4 as an MRI reporter gene, imparting detection sensitivity to eukaryotic mBMSCs for endogenous contrast. At this point, the clMagR and clCry4 were located within the cytoplasm and possibly influence each other. The clMagR/clCry4 makes mBMSCs beneficial for enhancing the sensitivity of MRI-R2 for iron-bearing granules, in which protein could specifically bind with iron and convert these stores into MRI-detectable contrast; this is not achieved by control cells. The viewpoint was speculated that the clMagR/clCry4 and exogenous iron were complementary to each other. Additionally, Prussian blue staining was performed together with TEM observations to provide direct evidence that the iron-bearing granules were sensitive to MRI.

Abstract
Multimodal imaging is a powerful and versatile approach that integrates and correlates multiple optical modalities within a single device. This concept has gained considerable attention due to its potential applications ranging from sensing to medicine. Herein, we develop several wireless multimodal light-emitting chemical systems by coupling two light sources based on different physical principles: electrochemiluminescence (ECL) occurring at the electrode interface and a light-emitting diode (LED) switched on by an electrochemically triggered electron flow. Endogenous (thermodynamically spontaneous redox process) and exogenous (requiring an external power source) bipolar electrochemistry acts as a driving force to trigger both light emissions at different wavelengths. The results presented here interconnect optical imaging and electrochemical reactions, providing a novel and so far unexplored alternative to design autonomous hybrid systems with multimodal and multicolor optical readouts for complex bio-chemical systems.

Abstract
Visualization of biomolecules, cells, and tissues, as well as metabolic processes in vivo is significant for studying the associated biological activities. Fluorine magnetic resonance imaging (19 F MRI) holds potential among various imaging technologies thanks to its negligible background signal and deep tissue penetration in vivo. To achieve detection on the targets with high resolution and accuracy, requirements of high-performance 19 F MRI probes are demanding. An ideal 19 F MRI probe is thought to have, first, fluorine tags with magnetically equivalent 19 F nuclei, second, high fluorine content, third, adequate fluorine nuclei mobility, as well as excellent water solubility or dispersity, but not limited to. This review summarizes the research progresses of 19 F MRI probes and mainly discusses the impacts of structures on in vitro and in vivo imaging performances. Additionally, the applications of 19 F MRI probes in ions sensing, molecular structures analysis, cells tracking, and in vivo diagnosis of disease lesions are also covered in this article. From authors' perspectives, this review is able to provide inspirations for relevant researchers on designing and synthesizing advanced 19 F MRI probes.

Yu C, Ding Z, Liu H, Ren Y, Zhang M, Liao Q, Luo T, Gao L, Lyu S, Tan H, Hu L, Chen Z, Xu P, Xiao E. Novel albumin-binding multifunctional probe for synergistic enhancement of FL/MR dual-modal imaging and photothermal therapy. Front Chem 2023; 11:1253379. [PMID: 37593108 PMCID: PMC10427858 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1253379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The fluorescence/magnetic resonance (FL/MR) dual-modal imaging could provide accurate tumor visualization to guide photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer, which has attracted widespread attention from scientists. However, facile and effective strategies to synergistically enhance fluorescence intensity, MR contrast and photothermal efficacy have rarely been reported. This study presents a novel multifunctional probe Gd-EB-ICG (GI) for FL/MR dual-modal imaging-guided PTT of cancer. GIs can self-assemble with endogenous albumin to form drug-albumin complexes (GIAs), which exhibit excellent biocompatibility. Albumin can protect GIAs from the recognition and clearance by the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS). High plasma concentration and long half-life allow GIAs to accumulate continuously in the tumor area through EPR effect and specific uptake of tumor. Because of the prolonged rotational correlation time (τR) of Gd chelates, GIAs exhibited superior MR contrast performance over GIs with more than 3 times enhancement of longitudinal relaxation efficiency (r1). The fluorescence quantum yield and photothermal conversion efficiency of GIAs was also significantly improved due to the constrained geometry, disrupted aggregation and enhanced photothermal stability. This simple and feasible strategy successfully resulted in a synergistic effect for FL/MR dual-modal imaging and photothermal therapy, which can cast a new light for the clinical translation of multifunctional probes.

Abstract
The shape effect is an important parameter in the design of novel nanomaterials. Engineering the shape of nanomaterials is an effective strategy for optimizing their bioactive performance. Nanomaterials with a unique shape are beneficial to blood circulation, tumor targeting, cell uptake, and even improved magnetism properties. Therefore, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nanoprobes with different shapes have been extensively focused on in recent years. Different from other multimodal imaging techniques, dual-mode MRI can provide imaging simultaneously by a single instrument, which can avoid differences in penetration depth, and the spatial and temporal resolution of multiple imaging devices, and ensure the accurate matching of spatial and temporal imaging parameters for the precise diagnosis of early tumors. This review summarizes the latest developments of nanomaterials with various shapes for T1-T2 dual-mode MRI, and highlights the mechanism of how shape intelligently affects nanomaterials' longitudinal or transverse relaxation, namely sphere, hollow, core-shell, cube, cluster, flower, dumbbell, rod, sheet, and bipyramid shapes. In addition, the combination of T1-T2 dual-mode MRI nanoprobes and advanced therapeutic strategies, as well as possible challenges from basic research to clinical transformation, are also systematically discussed. Therefore, this review will help others quickly understand the basic information on dual-mode MRI nanoprobes and gather thought-provoking ideas to advance the subfield of cancer nanomedicine.

Abstract
Spatiotemporally manipulating the in situ immobilization of theranostic agents within cancer cells to improve their bioavailability is highly significant yet challenging in tumor diagnosis and treatment. Herein, as a proof-of concept, we for the first time report a tumor-targetable near-infrared (NIR) probe DACF with photoaffinity crosslinking characteristics for enhanced tumor imaging and therapeutic applications. This probe possesses great tumor-targeting capability, intensive NIR/photoacoustic (PA) signals, and a predominant photothermal effect, allowing for sensitive imaging and effective photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors. Most notably, upon 405 nm laser illumination, DACF could be covalently immobilized within tumor cells through a photocrosslinking reaction between photolabile diazirine groups and surrounding biomolecules resulting in enhanced tumor accumulation and prolonged retention simultaneously, which significantly facilitates the imaging and PTT efficacy of tumor in vivo. We therefore believe that our current approach would provide a new insight for achieving precise cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Gd3+-doped quantum dots (QDs) have been widely used as small-sized bifunctional contrast agents for fluorescence/magnetic resonance (FL/MR) dual-modality imaging. However, Gd3+ doping will always compromise the FL of host QDs. Therefore, balancing the Gd3+ doping and the optical properties of QDs is crucial for constructing high-performance bifunctional nanoprobes. Additionally, most paramagnetic QDs are synthesized in the organic phase and need to be transferred to the aqueous phase for bioimaging. Herein, ingeniously designed shell-doped Cu-In-S/ZnS:Gd3+ QDs have been prepared in the aqueous phase. It has been demonstrated that isolating paramagnetic Gd3+ from fluorescent Cu-In-S core via doping Gd3+ into ZnS shell not only avoided the decrease of FL quantum yield (QY), but also ensured the water accessibility of paramagnetic Gd3+ ions, by which the FL QY and r1 relaxivity of Cu-In-S/ZnS:Gd3+ QDs achieved as much as 15.6% and 15.33 mM-1·s-1, respectively. These high-performance QDs with excellent stability, low biotoxicity, and good tumor permeability were successfully applied for in vivo tumor FL/MR dual-modality imaging, and have shown significant potential in the precision detection and diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Targeted liposomes, as a promising carrier, have received tremendous attention in COVID-19 vaccines, molecular imaging, and cancer treatment, due to their enhanced cellular uptake and payload accumulation at target sites. However, the conventional methods for preparing targeted liposomes still suffer from limitations, including complex operation, time-consuming, and poor reproducibility. Herein, a facile and scalable strategy is developed for one-step construction of targeted liposomes using a versatile microfluidic mixing device (MMD). The engineered MMD provides an advanced synthesis platform for multifunctional liposome with high production rate and controllability. To validate the method, a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-targeting aptamer modified indocyanine green (ICG)-liposome (Apt-ICG@Lip) is successfully constructed via the MMD. ICG and the PD-L1-targeting aptamer are used as model drug and targeting moiety, respectively. The Apt-ICG@Lip has high encapsulation efficiency (89.9 ± 1.4%) and small mean diameter (129.16 ± 5.48 nm). In vivo studies (PD-L1-expressing tumor models) show that Apt-ICG@Lip can realize PD-L1 targeted photoacoustic imaging, fluorescence imaging, and photothermal therapy. To verify the versatility of this approach, various targeted liposomes with different functions are further prepared and investigated. These experimental results demonstrate that this method is concise, efficient, and scalable to prepare multifunctional targeted liposomal nanoplatforms for molecular imaging and disease theranostics.

Abstract
Multimodal molecular imaging technologies have been widely used to optimize medical research and clinical practice. Bibliometric analysis was performed to identify global research trends, hot spots, and scientific frontiers of multimodal molecular imaging technology from 2012 to 2021. The articles and reviews related to multimodal molecular imaging were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. A bibliometric study was performed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. A total of 4169 articles and reviews from 2012 to 2021 were analyzed. An increasing trend in the number of articles on multimodal molecular imaging technology was observed. These publications mainly come from 417 institutions in 92 countries, led by the USA and China. K. Bailey Freund published the most papers amongst the publications, while R.F. Spaide had the most co-citations. A dual map overlay of the literature shows that most publications were specialized in physics/materials/chemistry, and molecular/biology/immunology. Synergistic therapy in cancer, advanced nanotechnology, and multimodal imaging in ophthalmology are new trends and developing areas of interest. A global bibliometric and visualization analysis was used to comprehensively review the published research related to multimodal molecular imaging. This study may help in understanding the dynamic patterns of multimodal molecular imaging technology research and point out the developing areas of this field.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging natural nanoplatforms in cancer diagnosis and therapy, through the incorporation of signal components or drugs in their structure. However, for their translation into the clinical field, there is still a lack of tools that enable a deeper understanding of their in vivo pharmacokinetics or their interactions with the cells of the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we have designed a dual-sEV probe based on radioactive and fluorescent labeling of goat milk sEVs.
Results
The imaging nanoprobe was tested in vitro and in vivo in a model of glioblastoma. In vitro assessment of the uptake of the dual probe in different cell populations (RAW 264.7, U87, and HeLa) by optical and nuclear techniques (gamma counter, confocal imaging, and flow cytometry) revealed the highest uptake in inflammatory cells (RAW 264.7), followed by glioblastoma U87 cells. In vivo evaluation of the pharmacokinetic properties of nanoparticles confirmed a blood circulation time of ~ 8 h and primarily hepatobiliary elimination. The diagnostic capability of the dual nanoprobe was confirmed in vivo in a glioblastoma xenograft model, which showed intense in vivo uptake of the SEV-based probe in tumor tissue. Histological assessment by confocal imaging enabled quantification of tumor populations and confirmed uptake in tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages, followed by cancer-associated fibroblasts and endothelial cells.
Conclusions
We have developed a chemical approach for dual radioactive and fluorescent labeling of sEVs. This methodology enables in vivo and in vitro study of these vesicles after exogenous administration. The dual nanoprobe would be a promising technology for cancer diagnosis and a powerful tool for studying the biological behavior of these nanosystems for use in drug delivery.

Abstract
Treatment of drug-resistant forms of cancer requires consideration of their hallmark features, such as abnormal cell death mechanisms or mutations in drug-responding molecular pathways. Malignant cells differ from their normal counterparts in numerous aspects, including copper metabolism. Intracellular copper levels are elevated in various cancer types, and this phenomenon could be employed for the development of novel oncotherapeutic approaches. Copper maintains the cell oxidation levels, regulates the protein activity and metabolism, and is involved in inflammation. Various copper-based compounds, such as nanoparticles or metal-based organic complexes, show specific activity against cancer cells according to preclinical studies. Herein, we summarize the major principles of copper metabolism in cancer cells and its potential in cancer theranostics.

Synthesis of a Dual-Color Fluorescent Dendrimer for Diagnosis of Cancer Metastasis in Lymph Nodes. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14204314.

Abstract
Detection of cancer metastasis spread in lymph nodes is important in cancer diagnosis. In this study, a fluorescence imaging probe was designed for the detection of both lymph node and tumor cells using always-ON and activatable fluorescence probes with different colors. Rhodamine B (Rho), a matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)-responsive green fluorescence probe, and a tumor-homing peptide were conjugated to a carboxy-terminal dendrimer that readily accumulates in lymph nodes. The activatable green fluorescence signal increased in the presence of MMP-2, which is secreted by tumor cells. Both the always-ON Rho signal and the activatable green fluorescence signal were observed from tumor cells, but only the weak always-ON Rho signal was from immune cells. Thus, this type of dendrimer may be useful for non-invasive imaging to diagnose cancer metastasis in lymph nodes.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis plaques caused by cerebrovascular and coronary artery disease have been the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Precise assessment of the degree of atherosclerotic plaque is critical for predicting the risk of atherosclerosis plaques and monitoring postinterventional outcomes. However, traditional imaging techniques to predict cardiocerebrovascular events mainly depend on quantifying the percentage reduction in luminal diameter, which would immensely underestimate non-stenotic high-risk plaque. Identifying the degree of atherosclerosis plaques still remains highly limited. vNanomedicine-based imaging techniques present unique advantages over conventional techniques due to the superior properties intrinsic to nanoscope, which possess enormous potential for characterization and detection of the features of atherosclerosis plaque vulnerability. Here, we review recent advancements in the development of targeted nanomedicine-based approaches and their applications to atherosclerosis plaque imaging and risk stratification. Finally, the challenges and opportunities regarding the future development and clinical translation of the targeted nanomedicine in related fields are discussed.

Abstract
Nanomedicines overcome the pharmacokinetic limitations of traditional drug formulations and have promising prospect in cancer treatment. However, nanomedicine delivery in vivo is still facing challenges from the complex physiological environment. For the purpose of effective tumor therapy, they should be designed to guarantee the five features principle, including long blood circulation, efficient tumor accumulation, deep matrix penetration, enhanced cell internalization and accurate drug release. To ensure the excellent performance of the designed nanomedicine, it would be better to monitor the drug delivery process as well as the therapeutic effects by real-time imaging. In this review, we summarize strategies in developing nanomedicines for efficiently meeting the five features of drug delivery, and the role of several imaging modalities (fluorescent imaging (FL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), positron emission tomography (PET), and electron microscopy) in tracing drug delivery and therapeutic effect in vivo based on five features principle.

Abstract
We report a synthetic strategy to create gold(Au)-based "sphere-on-plate" hybrid nanostructures (SPHNSs). The surface doping of plate-like Au seeds with Pt/Ag atoms is found to be crucial to increase the lattice spacing, inducing island-like deposition of Au atoms via the Volmer-Weber growth mode. The resulting products are featured with the morphology that quasi-spherical nanoparticles are scattered over the nanoplates. Due to the presence of two distinctly dimensioned particles in one entity, the current Au-based SPHNSs exhibit unique dual plasmonic absorptions, where the visible absorbance centered at 546 nm is related to the size of the anchored particles. Arising from such a plasmonic advantage, the Au-based SPHNSs exhibit enhancement in photothermal conversion under laser irradiations at the wavelengths of both 808 and 1064 nm. The current work offers a feasible route to fabricate noble metal hybrid nanostructures involving zero-dimensional (0D) and two-dimensional (2D) structures, which could work as promising materials for photothermal conversion.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a rapidly developing non-surgical therapy that initiates sensitizers’ catalytic reaction using ultrasound, showing great potential for cancer treatment due to its high safety and non-invasive nature. In addition, recent research has found that using different diagnostic and therapeutic methods in tandem can lead to better anticancer outcomes. Therefore, as essential components of SDT, sonosensitizers have been extensively explored to optimize their functions and integrate multiple medical fields. The review is based on five years of articles evaluating the combined use of SDT and imaging in treating cancer. By developing multifunctional sonosensitive particles that combine imaging and sonodynamic therapy, we have integrated diagnosis into the treatment of precision medicine applications, improving SDT cell uptake and antitumor efficacy utilizing different tumour models. This paper describes the imaging principle and the results of cellular and animal imaging of the multifunctional sonosensitizers. Efforts are made in this paper to provide data and design references for future SDT combined imaging research and clinical application development and to provide offer suggestions.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging with high sensitivity and minimal invasiveness has received tremendous attention, which can accomplish visualized monitoring and evaluation of cancer progression. Compared with the conventional first near-infrared (NIR-I) optical window (650-950 nm), fluorescence imaging in the second NIR optical window (NIR-II, 950-1700 nm) exhibits deeper tissue penetration capability and higher temporal-spatial resolution with lower background interference for achieving deep-tissue in vivo imaging and real-time monitoring of cancer development. Encouraged by the significant preponderances, a variety of multifunctional NIR-II fluorophores have been designed and fabricated for sensitively imaging biomarkers in vivo and visualizing the treatment procedure of cancers. In this review, the differences between NIR-I and NIR-II fluorescence imaging are briefly introduced, especially the advantages of NIR-II fluorescence imaging for the real-time visualization of tumors in vivo and cancer diagnosis. An important focus is to summarize the NIR-II fluorescence imaging for deep-tissue biomarker analysis in vivo and tumor tissue visualization, and a brief introduction of NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided cancer therapy is also presented. Finally, the significant challenges and reasonable prospects of NIR-II fluorescence imaging for cancer diagnosis in clinical applications are outlined.

Abstract
![]()
Bone sarcomas are devastating primary bone cancers that
mostly
affect children, young adults, and the elderly. These aggressive tumors
are associated with poor survival, and surgery remains the mainstay
of treatment. Surgical planning is increasingly informed by positron
emission tomography (PET), and tumor margin identification during
surgery is aided by near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, yet
these investigations are confounded by probes that lack specificity
for sarcoma biomarkers. We report the development of a dual-modal
(PET/NIRF) immunoconjugate ([89Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW)
that targets MT1-MMP, a matrix metalloproteinase overexpressed in
high-grade sarcomas. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW
was synthesized via site-specific chemoenzymatic
glycan modification, characterized, and isolated in high specific
activity and radiochemical purity. Saturation binding and immunoreactivity
assays indicated only minor perturbation of binding properties. A
novel mouse model of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma based on intrafemoral
inoculation of HT1080 WT or KO cells (high and low MT1-MMP expression,
respectively) was used to evaluate target binding and biodistribution.
Fluorescence and Cerenkov luminescence images of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW
showed preferential uptake in HT1080 WT tumors. Ex vivo gamma counting revealed that uptake in MT1-MMP-positive tumors was
significantly higher than that in control groups. Taken together,
[89Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW is a promising dual-modal
sarcoma imaging agent for pre-operative surgical planning and intraoperative
surgical guidance.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) possess exceptional optoelectronic properties that enable their use in the most diverse applications, namely, in the medical field. The prevalence of cancer has increased and has been considered the major cause of death worldwide. Thus, there has been a great demand for new methodologies for diagnosing and monitoring cancer in cells to provide an earlier prognosis of the disease and contribute to the effectiveness of treatment. Several molecules in the human body can be considered relevant as cancer markers. Studies published over recent years have revealed that micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) play a crucial role in this pathology, since they are responsible for some physiological processes of the cell cycle and, most important, they are overexpressed in cancer cells. Thus, the analytical sensing of miRNA has gained importance to provide monitoring during cancer treatment, allowing the evaluation of the disease's evolution. Recent methodologies based on nanochemistry use fluorescent quantum dots for sensing of the miRNA. Combining the unique characteristics of QDs, namely, their fluorescence capacity, and the fact that miRNA presents an aberrant expression in cancer cells, the researchers created diverse strategies for miRNA monitoring. This review aims to present an overview of the recent use of QDs as biosensors in miRNA detection, also highlighting some tutorial descriptions of the synthesis methods of QDs, possible surface modification, and functionalization approaches.

Abstract
The development of metal-based multimodal imaging probes is a highly challenging field in coordination chemistry. In this context, we have developed a bifunctional hexadentate tripodal ligand (H3L2) with three 3,4-HOPO moieties attached to a flexible tetrahedral carbon bearing a functionalizable nitro group. Complexes formed with different metal ions have potential interest for diagnostic applications, namely magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). The capacity of the ligand to coordinate GdIII and GaIII was studied and the thermodynamic stability constants of the respective complexes were determined by potentiometry and spectrophotometry. The ligand forms stable 1 : 1 ML complexes though with considerably higher affinity for GaIII than for GdIII (pGa = 26.2 and pGd = 14.3 at pH 7). The molecular dynamics simulations of the GdIII complex indicate that two water molecules can coordinate the metal ion, thus providing efficient paramagnetic enhancement of water proton relaxation. The relaxation and the water exchange properties of the GdIII chelate, assessed by a combined 17O NMR and 1H NMRD study, showed associative activated water exchange with a relatively low rate constant, k298ex = (0.82 ± 0.11) × 107 s-1, and some aggregation tendency. Biodistribution studies of the 67Ga-L2 complex suggested good in vivo stability and quick renal clearance. Further anchoring of this ligand with specific biotargeting moieties might open future prospectives for applications of labelled conjugates in both MRI and 68Ga-PET diagnostic imaging.

Abstract
Dual-imaging agents with highly sensitive fluorescence (FL) imaging and highly selective fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (19F MRI) are valuable for biomedical research. At the same time, photosensitizers with a high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating capability are crucial for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Herein, a series of tetra-trifluoromethylated aza-boron dipyrromethenes (aza-BODIPYs) were conveniently synthesized from readily available building blocks and their physicochemical properties, including ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption, FL emission, photothermal efficacy, ROS generating efficacy, and 19F MRI sensitivity, were systematically investigated. An aza-BODIPY with 12 symmetrical fluorines was identified as a potent FL-19F MRI dual-imaging traceable photodynamic agent. It was found that the selective introduction of trifluoromethyl (CF3) groups into aza-BODIPYs may considerably improve their UV absorption, FL emission, photothermal efficacy, and ROS generating properties, which lays the foundation for the rational design of trifluoromethylated aza-BODIPYs in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is the most common form of traumatic brain injury; however, it is the most difficult to be accurately identified in the early stage because it lacks more reliable biomarkers and detection methods. This study proposes a highly efficient system to detect a molecular biomarker for the early diagnosis of mTBI. The system was prepared by a lower cytotoxic peptide-modified fluorescent nanoprobe based on carbon polymer dots (pep-CPDs) with outstanding imaging capabilities. In vitro and in vivo tests were explored to the efficiency of pep-CPDs, inferring the good performances of cellular fluorescence imaging and in vivo imaging of mice. Moreover, an application of the versatile pep-CPDs on detecting the mTBI biomarker S100-β detection in a novel improved weight-drop mTBI mouse model and human blood samples has been successfully established. Overall, all these results indicate that the pep-CPD system is sensitive, rapid, non-toxic, and reliable for mTBI diagnosis compared with traditional detection methods. It shows a great potential in clinical and translational research and practical applications.
