Charge-regulated fluorescent anchors enable high-fidelity tracking of plasma membrane dynamics during biological events. Chem Sci 2024; 15:8934-8945. [PMID: 38873067 PMCID: PMC11168104 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc01423e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Many biological processes generally require long-term visualization tools for time-scale dynamic changes of the plasma membrane, but there is still a lack of design rules for such imaging tools based on small-molecule fluorescent probes. Herein, we revealed the key regulatory roles of charge number and species of fluorescent dyes in the anchoring ability of the plasma membrane and found that the introduction of multi-charged units and appropriate charge species is often required for fluorescent dyes with strong plasma membrane anchoring ability by systematically investigating the structure-function relationship of cyanostyrylpyridium (CSP) dyes with different charge numbers and species and their imaging performance for the plasma membrane. The CSP-DBO dye constructed exhibits strong plasma membrane anchoring ability in staining the plasma membrane of cells, in addition to many other advantages such as excellent biocompatibility and general universality of cell types. Such a fluorescent anchor has been successfully used to monitor chemically induced plasma membrane damage and dynamically track various cellular biological events such as cell fusion and cytokinesis over a long period of time by continuously monitoring the dynamic morphological changes of the plasma membrane, providing a valuable precise visualization tool to study the physiological response to chemical stimuli and reveal the structural morphological changes and functions of the plasma membrane during these important biological events from a dynamic perspective. Furthermore, CSP-DBO exhibits excellent biocompatibility and imaging capability in vivo such as labelling the plasma membrane in vivo and monitoring the metabolic process of lipofuscin as an aging indicator.

Abstract
The modulation of numerous signaling pathways is orchestrated by redox regulation of cellular environments. Maintaining dynamic redox homeostasis is of utmost importance for human health, given the common occurrence of altered redox status in various pathological conditions. The cardinal component of the thioredoxin system, mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) plays a vital role in supporting various physiological functions; however, its malfunction, disrupting redox balance, is intimately associated with the pathogenesis of multiple diseases. Accordingly, the dynamic monitoring of TrxR of live organisms represents a powerful direction to facilitate the comprehensive understanding and exploration of the profound significance of redox biology in cellular processes. A number of classic assays have been developed for the determination of TrxR activity in biological samples, yet their application is constrained when exploring the real-time dynamics of TrxR activity in live organisms. Fluorescent probes offer several advantages for in situ imaging and the quantification of biological targets, such as non-destructiveness, real-time analysis, and high spatiotemporal resolution. These benefits facilitate the transition from a poise to a flux understanding of cellular targets, further advancing scientific studies in related fields. This review aims to introduce the progress in the development and application of TrxR fluorescent probes in the past years, and it mainly focuses on analyzing their reaction mechanisms, construction strategies, and potential drawbacks. Finally, this study discusses the critical challenges and issues encountered during the development of selective TrxR probes and proposes future directions for their advancement. We anticipate the comprehensive analysis of the present TrxR probes will offer some glitters of enlightenment, and we also expect that this review may shed light on the design and development of novel TrxR probes.

Abstract
Reliable biomarkers are crucial for early diagnosis of diseases and precise therapy. Biological thiols (represented by glutathione, GSH) play vital roles in the antioxidant defense system for maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis in organisms. However, the aberrant variation in the cellular concentration of GSH correlates with diverse diseases including cancer. Here, a ratiometric near-infrared fluorescent probe CyO-Disu is constructed for the specific sensing of GSH variation in live cells and mice models of hepatic carcinoma (HCC). CyO-Disu features three key elements, a response moiety of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, a near-infrared fluorescence signal transducer of heptamethine ketone cyanine, and a targeting moiety of D-galactose. By virtue of its liver-targeting capability, CyO-Disu was utilized for evaluating GSH fluctuations in primary and metastatic hepatoma living cells. To evaluate the efficacy of CyO-Disuin vivo, orthotopic HCC and pulmonary metastatic hepatoma mice models were employed for GSH imaging using two-dimensional and three-dimensional fluorescence molecular tomographic imaging systems. The bioimaging results offered direct evidence that GSH displayed varied concentrations during the progression of HCC. Therefore, the as-synthesized probe CyO-Disu could serve as a potential powerful tool for the early diagnosis and precise treatment of HCC using GSH as a reliable biomarker.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanosensors hold the potential to revolutionize life sciences and medicine. However, their adaptation and translation into the in vivo environment is fundamentally hampered by unfavourable tissue scattering and intrinsic autofluorescence. Here we develop wavelength-induced frequency filtering (WIFF) whereby the fluorescence excitation wavelength is modulated across the absorption peak of a nanosensor, allowing the emission signal to be separated from the autofluorescence background, increasing the desired signal relative to noise, and internally referencing it to protect against artefacts. Using highly scattering phantom tissues, an SKH1-E mouse model and other complex tissue types, we show that WIFF improves the nanosensor signal-to-noise ratio across the visible and near-infrared spectra up to 52-fold. This improvement enables the ability to track fluorescent carbon nanotube sensor responses to riboflavin, ascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide and a chemotherapeutic drug metabolite for depths up to 5.5 ± 0.1 cm when excited at 730 nm and emitting between 1,100 and 1,300 nm, even allowing the monitoring of riboflavin diffusion in thick tissue. As an application, nanosensors aided by WIFF detect the chemotherapeutic activity of temozolomide transcranially at 2.4 ± 0.1 cm through the porcine brain without the use of fibre optic or cranial window insertion. The ability of nanosensors to monitor previously inaccessible in vivo environments will be important for life-sciences research, therapeutics and medical diagnostics.

Abstract
Development of new fluorescent probes for mercury ion analysis in environmental or living organism is undergoing quick growth due to its detrimental toxicity to environmental safety, ecological security, and human being. However, in most cases, the industrial waste water is acidic whereas it remains a great challenge to real-time monitor mercury ion directly at low pH using small molecule fluorescence probe. In this study, we have successfully designed and synthesized the Naph (1, 8-Naphthalimide derivative) -based small molecule probe termed as Naph-NSS capable of monitoring mercury ion in a broad range at low pH (from 2.0 to 7.0). The solid spectral studies demonstrated the high sensitivity and selectivity of the probe towards mercury ion among various species. After binding with Hg2+, the fluorescence of Naph-NSS greatly enhanced, and the mechanism of which was investigated by DFT studies. The probe was able to be loaded on paper strip for instant and fast detection of mercury ions. In addition, the probe is also suitable for detection of mercury ion in environmental samples, living cells and in vivo.

Abstract
We have developed an amphiphilic pH probe (P1CS) to detect pH levels in the plasma membrane in cancer cells. An elevated fluorescence signal at 550 nm at the cell surface of cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, HeLa cells) prompted the application of P1CS as a pH marker for the cancer cell surface, discriminating it from normal cells (WI-38). Moreover, the probe enables labeling of the surface of multilayered tumor spheroids, which promotes its use as a marker for the surface of tumor tissue.

Abstract
Oxidoreductases are diverse class of enzymes engaged in modulating the redox homeostasis and cellular signaling cascades. Abnormal expression of oxidoreductases including thioredoxin reductase, azoreductase, cytochrome oxidoreductase, tyrosinase and monoamine oxidase leads to the initiation of numerous disorders. Thus, enzymes are the promising biomarkers of the diseased cells and their accurate detection has utmost significance for clinical diagnosis. The detection method must be extremely selective, sensitive easy to use, long self-life, mass manufacturable and disposable. Fluorescence assay approach has been developed potential substitute to conventional techniques used in enzyme's quantification. The fluorescent probes possess excellent stability, high spatiotemporal ratio and reproducibility represent applications in real sample analysis. Therefore, the enzymatic transformations have been monitored by small activatable organic fluorescent probes. These probes are generally integrated with enzyme's substrate/inhibitors to improve their binding affinity toward the enzyme's catalytic site. As the recognition unit bio catalyzed, the signaling unit produces the readout signals and provides novel insights to understand the biochemical reactions for diagnosis and development of point of care devices. Several structural modifications are required in fluorogenic scaffolds to tune the selectivity for a particular enzyme. Hence, the fluorescent probes with their structural features and enzymatic reaction mechanism of oxidoreductase are the key points discussed in this review. The basic strategies to detect each enzyme are discussed. The selectivity, sensitivity and real-time applications are critically compared. The kinetic parameters and futuristic opportunities are present, which would be enormous benefits for chemists and biologists to understand the facts to design and develop unique fluorophore molecules for clinical applications.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) secretion is highly associated with tumor invasion and metastasis; therefore, monitoring MMP secretion is important for disease progression study and therapy choosing. Though working well for intracellular MMP imaging, the performance of current MMP detection probes is impaired in secretion monitoring due to the diffusion of MMP in an extracellular environment after secretion and low secreted amount. Here, we design a cell membrane-anchored ratiometric upconversion nanoprobe (UCNPs-Cy3/Pep-QSY7/Ab) for in situ MMP secretion visualization. Anti-EGFR is functionalized on the nanoprobe to provide specific recognition to tumor cells and guarantee fast response to MMP2 in the local place of secretion. MMP-responsive cleavage of Pep-QSY7 results in Cy3 luminescence recovery at 580 nm, which is ratioed over an internal standard of UCNP emission at 654 nm for MMP2 detection. The presented cell membrane-anchored ratiometric upconversion nanoprobe demonstrated that satisfactory results for in situ monitoring of MMP2 secretion from MDA-MB-231 cells and MCF-7 cells, as well as in vivo imaging of metastatic lymph nodes, would provide a universal platform for protease secretion study and contribute to tumor invasiveness assessment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as one of the most up-and-coming non-invasive therapeutic modalities for cancer therapy in rencent years. However, its therapeutic effect was still hampered by the short life span, limited diffusion distance and ineluctable depletion of singlet oxygen (1O2), as well as the hypoxic microenvironment in the tumor tissue. Such problems have limited the application of PDT and appropriate solutions are highly demand. Methods: Herein, a programmatic treatment strategy is proposed for the development of a smart molecular prodrug (D-bpy), which comprise a two-photon photosensitizer and a hypoxia-activated chemotherapeutic prodrug. A rhodamine dye was designed to connect them and track the drug release by the fluorescent signal generated through azo bond cleavage. Results: The prodrug (D-bpy) can stay on the cell membrane and enrich at the tumor site. Upon light irradiation, the therapeutic effect was enhanced by a stepwise treatment: (i) direct generation of 1O2 on the cell membrane induced membrane destruction and promoted the D-bpy uptake; (ii) deep tumor hypoxia caused by two-photon PDT process further triggered the activation of the chemotherapy prodrug. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments, D-bpy have exhabited excellent tumor treatment effect. Conclusion: The innovative programmatic treatment strategy provides new strategy for the design of follow-up anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Drawing inspiration from nature today remains a time-honored means of discovering the therapies of tomorrow. Porphyrins, the so-called "pigments of life" have played a key role in this effort due to their diverse and unique properties. They have seen use in a number of medically relevant applications, including the development of so-called drug conjugates wherein functionalization with other entities is used to improve efficacy while minimizing dose limiting side effects. In this Perspective, we highlight opportunities associated with newer, completely synthetic analogs of porphyrins, commonly referred to as porphyrinoids, as the basis for preparing drug conjugates. Many of the resulting systems show improved medicinal or site-localizing properties. As befits a Perspective of this type, our efforts to develop cancer-targeting, platinum-containing conjugates based on texaphyrins (a class of so-called "expanded porphyrins") will receive particular emphasis; however, the promise inherent in this readily generalizable approach will also be illustrated briefly using two other common porphyrin analogs, namely the corroles (a "contracted porphyrin") and porphycene (an "isomeric porphyrin").

Abstract
We report the first diselenide-based probe for the selective detection of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme commonly overexpressed in melanomas. The probe design involves conjugation of a seminaphthorhodafluor dye with a diselenide moiety. TrxR reduces the diselenide bond, triggering a fluorescence turn-on response of the probe. Kinetic studies reveal favorable binding of the probe with TrxR with a Michaelis-Menten constant (Km ) of 15.89 μm. Computational docking simulations predict a greater binding affinity to the TrxR active site in comparison to its disulfide analogue. In vitro imaging studies further confirmed the diselenide probe exhibited improved signaling of TrxR activity compared to the disulfide analogue.

Abstract
Human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (hNQO1) is overexpressed in cancer cells and associated with the drug resistance factor of cancer. The objective of this work is the development of fluorescent probes for the efficient detection of hNQO1 activity in cancer cells, which can be employed for the cancer diagnosis and therapeutic agent development. Herein, we report naphthalimide-based fluorescent probes 1 and 2 that can detect hNQO1. For hNQO1 activity, the probes showed a significant fluorescence increase at 540 nm. In addition, probe 1, the naphthalimide containing a triphenylphosphonium salt, showed an enhanced enzyme efficiency and rapid detection under a physiological condition. The detection ability of probe 1 was superior to that of other previously reported probes. Moreover, probe 1 was less cytotoxic during the cancer cell imaging and readily provided a strong fluorescence in hNQO1-overexpressed cancer cells (A549). We proposed that probe 1 can be used to detect hNQO1 expression in live cells and it will be applied to develop the diagnosis and customized treatment of hNQO1-related disease.

Abstract
We reported fluorescent probes to image Zn2+ with plasma membrane-specific and Zn2+-specific fluorogenicities. The probes contained hydrophobic alkyl chains as membrane-anchored domains and hydrophilic zinc sensor ZTRS, and aggregated to display quenched fluorescence. Cells dissolved the aggregates and the liberated probes were dispersed on the outside of the cell plasma membrane. Aggregates that did not bind to the cell membrane still exhibited aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching after complexing with zinc ions, while probes anchored on the membrane surface exhibited a fluorescence-enhanced response upon recognition of zinc ions.

Abstract
Small molecule probes are indispensable tools to explore diverse cellular events. However, finding a specific probe of a target remains a high challenge. Here we report the discovery of Fast-TRFS, a specific and superfast fluorogenic probe of mammalian thioredoxin reductase, a ubiquitous enzyme involved in regulation of diverse cellular redox signaling pathways. By systematically examining the processes of fluorophore release and reduction of cyclic disulfides/diselenides by the enzyme, structural factors that determine the response rate and specificity of the probe are disclosed. Mechanistic studies reveal that the fluorescence signal is switched on by a simple reduction of the disulfide bond within the probe, which is in stark contrast to the sensing mechanism of published probes. The favorable properties of Fast-TRFS enable development of a high-throughput screening assay to discover inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase by using crude tissue extracts as a source of the enzyme. Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) plays a crucial part in regulating cellular redox homeostasis. Here, the authors developed a fluorescent probe composed of a five-membered disulphide, a coumarin fluorophore and a urea linker that detects TrxR activity with fast response and high selectivity.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) acts as an important gasotransmitter in delivering intramolecular and intermolecular signals to regulate a variety of physiological processes. This lipid-soluble gas can freely pass through the cell membrane and then diffuse to adjacent cells acting as a messenger. Although many fluorescent probes have been reported to detect intracellular CO, it is still a challenge to visualize the release behavior of endogenous CO. The main obstacle is the lack of a probe that can anchor onto the cell membrane while having the ability to image CO in real time. In this work, by grafting a polar head onto a long and linear hydrophobic Nile Red molecule, a cell membrane-anchored fluorophore ANR was developed. This design strategy of a cell membrane-anchored probe is simpler than the traditional one of using a long hydrophobic alkyl chain as a membrane-anchoring group, and endows the probe with better water solubility. ANR could rapidly bind to the cell membrane (within 1 min) and displayed a long retention time. ANR was then converted to a CO-responsive fluorescent probe (ANRP) by complexation with palladium based on a metal palladium-catalyzed reaction. ANRP exhibited a fast response to CO with a 25-fold fluorescence enhancement in vitro. The detection limit was calculated to be 0.23 μM, indicating that ANRP is sensitive enough to image endogenous CO. Notably, ANRP showed excellent cell membrane-anchoring ability. With ANRP, the release of CO from HepG2 cells under LPS- and heme-stimulated conditions was visualized and the cell self-protection effect during a drug-induced hepatotoxicity process was also studied. Moreover, ANRP was successfully applied to the detection of intracellular CO in several cell lines and tissues, and the results demonstrated that the liver is the main organ for CO production, and that cancer cells release more CO from their cells than normal cells. ANRP is the first membrane-anchored CO fluorescent probe that has the ability to reveal the relationship between CO release and diseases. It also has prospects for the studying of intercellular signaling functions of CO.

Abstract
Here, a novel latent naphthalimide bearing water-soluble nanoprobes with catechol-Fe(III) cores (Fe@LNNPs) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for in vivo fluorescence imaging of intracellular thiols, as various diseases are associated with overexpression of cellular biothiols. The Fe@LNNPs are mainly composed of three components. The inner part constitutes pyrocatechol groups, which can coordinate with Fe(III) to form a cross-linked core for improving the stability in the complex biological environment. The naphthalimide group is linked by disulfide with the core to quench the probe fluorescence. The outer part is designed to be a hydrophilic glycol corona for prolonging blood circulation. Also, a biotin group can be easily introduced into the nanoprobe for actively targeting the HepG2 cells. The fluorescence spectra reveals that the Fe@LNNPs can be reduced explicitly by glutathione to trigger the fluorescence emission. Confocal microscopic imagings and animal experiments manifest that the Fe@LNNPs, especially with biotin groups, have much better fluorescence signal imaging compared to the reported small-molecule probe 1' both in vitro and in vivo (up to 24 h). The Fe@LNNPs thus feature great advantages such as specificity, stability, biocompatibility, and long retention time for thiol-recognition imaging and hold potential applications in clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Molecules capable of monitoring receptor protein-tyrosine kinase expression could potentially serve as useful tools for cancer diagnosis due to the overexpression of tyrosine kinases during tumor growth and metastasis. In this work, a conformationally induced "off-on" tyrosine kinase cell membrane fluorescent sensor (SP1) was designed and evaluated for the detection and imaging of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases in vivo and in vitro. SP1 consists of sunitinib and pyrene linked via hexamethylenediamine and displays quenched fluorescence as a dimer. The fluorescence of SP1 is restored in the presence of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases upon strong interaction with SP1 at the target terminal. The unique signal response mechanism enables SP1 use for fluorescence microscopy imaging of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases in the cell membranes of living cells, allowing for the rapid differentiation of cancer cells from normal cells. SP1 can be used to visualize the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane and mouse model tumors, suggesting its possible application for early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The development of a fast-response sensing technique for detection of cysteine can provide an analytical platform for prescreening of disease. Herein, we have developed a fluorescence turn off-on fluorescence sensing platform by combining nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) with V2O5 nanosheets for the sensitive and selective detection of cysteine in human serum samples. V2O5 nanosheets with 2-4 layers are successfully synthesized via a simple and scalable liquid exfoliation method and then deposited with 2-8 nm of N-GQDs as the fluorescence turn off-on nanoprobe for effective detection of cysteine in human serum samples. The V2O5 nanosheets serve as both fluorescence quencher and cysteine recognizer in the sensing platform. The fluorescence intensity of N-GQDs with quantum yield of 0.34 can be quenched after attachment onto V2O5 nanosheets. The addition of cysteine triggers the reduction of V2O5 to V4+ as well as the release of N-GQDs within 4 min, resulting in the recovery of fluorescence intensity for the turn off-on detection of cysteine. The sensing platform exhibits a two-stage linear response to cysteine in the concentration range of 0.1-15 and 15-125 μM at pH 6.5, and the limit of detection is 50 nM. The fluorescence response of N-GQD@V2O5 exhibits high selectivity toward cysteine over other 22 electrolytes and biomolecules. Moreover, this promising platform is successfully applied in detection of cysteine in human serum samples with excellent recovery of (95 ± 3.8) - (108 ± 2.4)%. These results clearly demonstrate a newly developed redox reaction-based nanosensing platform using N-GQD@V2O5 nanocomposites as the sensing probe for cysteine-associated disease monitoring and diagnosis in biomedical applications, which can open an avenue for the development of high performance and robust sensing probes to detect organic metabolites.

Abstract
As part of an effort to develop generally applicable strategies for creating probes suitable for detecting important molecular and ionic species, the oxidative aromatization of nonfluorescent 9,10-dihydroacridine derivatives triggered by peroxynitrite (ONOO-) led to the identification of compound 2H, 9-phenyl-9,10-dihydroacridine-4-carboxylic acid, as a rapid-responding fluorescent probe capable of detecting ONOO- with an extraordinary selectivity. Adding a little more than 1 equiv of ONOO- to a solution of 2H resulted in over 100-fold fluorescence enhancement. In sharp contrast, treating 2H with excessive amounts of other oxidants that often interfere with the detection of ONOO- failed to lead to noticeable fluorescence increase. The reaction of ONOO- with 2H shows a similar efficiency in the pH range of 2-8. Low cytotoxicity was observed for 2H and its aromatized product. Bioimaging experiments revealed the promising potential of 2H as a new fluorescent probe for the selective detection of intracellular ONOO-.

Abstract
A general strategy for designing probes of methionine sulfoxide reductases was reported and a first turn on probe was disclosed.
Oxidation of methionine residues to methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) may cause changes in protein structure and function, and may eventually lead to cell damage. Methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs) are the only known enzymes that catalyze the reduction of MetSO back to methionine by taking reducing equivalents from the thioredoxin system, and thus protect cells from oxidative damage. Nonetheless, a lack of convenient assays for the enzymes hampers the exploration of their functions. We report the discovery of Msr-blue, the first turn-on fluorescent probe for Msr with a >100-fold fluorescence increment from screening a rationally-designed small library. Intensive studies demonstrated the specific reduction of Msr-blue by the enzymes. Msr-blue is ready to determine Msr activity in biological samples and live cells. Importantly, we disclosed a decline of Msr activity in a Parkinson's model, thus providing a mechanistic linkage between the loss of function of Msrs and the development of neurodegeneration. The strategy for the discovery of Msr-blue would also provide guidance for developing novel probes with longer excitation/emission wavelengths and specific probes for Msr isoforms.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays important roles in many physiological and pathological processes. At the cellular organelle level, the abnormal concentrations of H2O2 in the lysosomes may cause redox imbalance and the loss of the critical functions of the lysosomes. Herein, we describe the preparation of a potent lysosome-targeted two-photon fluorescent probe (Lyso-HP) for the detection of H2O2 in the lysosomes in the living cells. This unique fluorescent probe can also be employed to effectively detect H2O2 in the living tissues using two-photon fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
A mitochondria-targeted approach was developed to increase the cellular bioactivities of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitors. By being conjugated with a triphenylphosphine (TPP) motif to a previously found TrxR inhibitor 2a, the resulted compound TPP2a can target subcellular mitochondria and efficiently inhibit cellular TrxR, leading to remarkably increased cellular ROS level and mitochondrial apoptosis of HeLa cancer cells. The cellular bioactivities of TPP2a, including its cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cell lines, dramatically elevated compared with its parental compound 2a. The selectively and covalently interaction of TPP2a with subcellular mitochondrial TrxR was validated by fluorescent microscopy. Moreover, a nonspecific signal quenching coupled strategy was proposed based on the environmentally sensitive fluorescence of TPP2a, which makes it possible to label TrxR by removing the nonspecific backgrounds caused by TPP2a under complex biosettings such as cellular lysates and living cells, implicating a potential of TPP2a for TrxR-specific labeling.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems that can be employed to load anticancer drugs and release them triggered by a specific stimulus, such as glutathione, are of great importance in cancer therapy. In this study, supramolecular porphysome nanovesicles that were self-assembled by amphiphilic porphyrin derivatives were successfully constructed, mainly driven by the π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions, and were used as carriers of anticancer drugs. The nanovesicles are monodispersed in shape and uniform in size. The drug loading and in vitro drug release investigations indicate that these nanovesicles are able to encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX) to achieve DOX-loaded nanovesicles, and the nanovesicles could particularly release the loaded drug triggered by a high concentration of glutathione (GSH). More importantly, the drug release in cancer cells could be monitored by fluorescent recovery of the porphyrin derivative. Cytotoxicity experiments show that the DOX-loaded nanovesicles possess comparable therapeutic effect to cancer cells as free DOX. This study presents a new strategy in the fabrication of versatile anticancer drug nanocarriers with stimuli-responsive properties. Thus, the porphysome nanovesicles demonstrated here might offer an opportunity to bridge the gap between intelligent drug delivery systems and imaging-guided drug release.
