Abstract
In vivo electrochemistry in small brain regions or synapses requires nanoelectrodes with long straight tips for submicron scale measurements. Nanoelectrodes can be fabricated using a Nanoscribe two-photon printer, but annealed tips curl if they are long and thin. We propose a new pulling-force strategy to fabricate a straight carbon nanoneedle structure. A micron-width bridge is printed between two blocks. The annealed structure shrinks during pyrolysis, and the blocks create a pulling force to form a long, thin, and straight carbon bridge. Parameterization study and COMSOL modeling indicate changes in the block size, bridge size and length affect the pulling force and bridge shrinkage. Electrodes were printed on niobium wires, insulated with aluminum oxide, and the bridge cut with focused ion beam (FIB) to expose the nanoneedle tip. Annealed needle diameters ranged from 400 nm to 5.25 μm and length varied from 50.5 μm to 146 μm. The electrochemical properties are similar to glassy carbon, with good performance for dopamine detection with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry. Nanoelectrodes enable biological applications, such as dopamine detection in a specific Drosophila brain region. Long and thin nanoneedles are generally useful for other applications such as cellular sensing, drug delivery, or gas sensing.

Exploration of individual colorectal cancer cell responses to H 2O 2 eustress using hopping probe scanning ion conductance microscopy. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024; 69:1909-1919. [PMID: 38644130 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2024.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC), a widespread malignancy, is closely associated with tumor microenvironmental hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels. Some clinical trials targeting H2O2 for cancer treatment have revealed its paradoxical role as a promoter of cancer progression. Investigating the dynamics of cancer cell H2O2 eustress at the single-cell level is crucial. In this study, non-contact hopping probe mode scanning ion conductance microscopy (HPICM) with high-sensitive Pt-functionalized nanoelectrodes was employed to measure dynamic extracellular to intracellular H2O2 gradients in individual colorectal cancer Caco-2 cells. We explored the relationship between cellular mechanical properties and H2O2 gradients. Exposure to 0.1 or 1 mmol/L H2O2 eustress increased the extracellular to intracellular H2O2 gradient from 0.3 to 1.91 or 3.04, respectively. Notably, cellular F-actin-dependent stiffness increased at 0.1 mmol/L but decreased at 1 mmol/L H2O2 eustress. This H2O2-induced stiffness modulated AKT activation positively and glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPX2) expression negatively. Our findings unveil the failure of some H2O2-targeted therapies due to their ineffectiveness in generating H2O2, which instead acts eustress to promote cancer cell survival. This research also reveals the complex interplay between physical properties and biochemical signaling in cancer cells' antioxidant defense, illuminating the exploitation of H2O2 eustress for survival at the single-cell level. Inhibiting GPX and/or catalase (CAT) enhances the cytotoxic activity of H2O2 eustress against CRC cells, which holds significant promise for developing innovative therapies targeting cancer and other H2O2-related inflammatory diseases.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 253:116173.

Abstract
Since the emergence of single-cell electroanalysis, the two-electrode system has become the predominant electrochemical system for real-time behavioral analysis of single-cell and multicellular populations. However, due to the transmembrane placement of the two electrodes, cellular activities can be interrupted by the transmembrane potentials, and the test results are susceptible to influences from factors such as intracellular solution, membrane, and bulk solution. These limitations impede the advancement of single-cell analysis. Here, we propose a highly miniaturized and integrated in situ self-referenced intracellular two-electrode system (IS-SRITES), wherein both the working and reference electrodes are positioned inside the cell. Additionally, we demonstrated the stability (0.28 mV/h) of the solid-contact in situ Ag/AgCl reference electrode and the ability of the system to conduct standard electrochemical testing in a wide pH range (pH 6.0-8.0). Cell experiments confirmed the non-destructive performance of the electrode system towards cells and its capacity for real-time monitoring of intra- and extracellular pH values. Moreover, through equivalent circuits, finite element simulations, and drug delivery experiments, we illustrated that the IS-SRITES can yield more accurate test results and exhibit enhanced resistance to interference from the extracellular environment. Our proposed system holds the potential to enable the precise detection of intracellular substances and optimize the existing model of the electrode system for intracellular signal detection, thereby spearheading advancements in single-cell analysis.

Abstract
Neuronal activity can be modulated by mechanical stress in the central nervous system (CNS) in neurodegenerative diseases, for example Alzheimer's disease. However, the impact of mechanical stress on chemical signal transmission, especially the storage and release of neurotransmitter in neuron vesicles, has not been fully clarified. In this study, a nanotip conical carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME) and a disk CFME are placed in and on a cell, respectively. The nanotip conical CFME functions for both the mechanical stress and the quantification of transmitter storage in single vesicles, while the disk CFME is used to monitor the transmitter release during exocytosis induced by mechanical stress at the same cell. By comparing the vesicular transmitter storage with its release during mechanical stress-induced exocytosis at the same cell, we find the release ratio of transmitter in chromaffin cells varies from 27 % to 100 %, while for PC12 cells from 30 % to 100 %. Our results indicate that the exocytosis of cells responding to mechanical stress shows individual difference obviously, with a significant population exhibiting partial release mode. The variation of Ca2+ channels and mechanosensitive ion channels on cell membrane may both contribute to this variation. Our discovery not only shows mechanical stress can change the transmission of cellular chemical signals at the vesicle level, but also provides an important reference perspective for the study of nervous system regulation and nervous system diseases.

Abstract
Direct single-cell caspase-3 (Casp-3) analysis has remained challenging. A study of single-cell Casp-3 could contribute to revealing the fundamental pathogenic mechanisms in Casp-3-associated diseases. Here, a biomimetic nanochannel capable of single-cell sampling and ionic detection of intracellular Casp-3 is devised, which is established upon the installment of target-specific organic molecules (luc-DEVD) within the orifice of a glass nanopipette. The specific cleavage of luc-DEVD by Casp-3 could induce changes of inner-surface chemical groups and charge properties, thus altering the ionic response of the biomimetic nanochannel for direct Casp-3 detection. The practical applicability of this biomimetic nanochannel is confirmed by probing intracellular Casp-3 fluctuation upon drug stimulation and quantifying the Casp-3 evolution during induced apoptosis. This work realizes ionic single-cell Casp-3 analysis and provides a different perspective for single-cell protein analysis.

Abstract
Unraveling the complexities of brain function, which is crucial for advancing human health, remains a grand challenge. This endeavor demands precise monitoring of small molecules such as neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers in the brain. In this Perspective, we explore the potential of aptamers, selective synthetic bioreceptors integrated into electronic affinity platforms to address limitations in neurochemical biosensing. We emphasize the importance of characterizing aptamer thermodynamics and target binding to realize functional biosensors in biological systems. We focus on two label-free affinity platforms spanning the micro- to nanoscale: field-effect transistors and nanopores. Integration of well-characterized structure-switching aptamers overcame nonspecific binding, a challenge that has hindered the translation of biosensors from the lab to the clinic. In a transformative era driven by neuroscience breakthroughs, technological innovations, and multidisciplinary collaborations, an aptamer renaissance holds the potential to bridge technological gaps and reshape the landscape of diagnostics and neuroscience.

Abstract
Cellular heterogeneity, especially in some important diseased cells like tumor cells, acts as an invisible driver for disease development like cancer progression in the tumor ecosystem, contributing to differences in the macroscopic and microscopic detection of disease lesions like tumors. Traditional analysis techniques choose group information masked by the mean as the analysis sample, making it difficult to achieve precise diagnosis and target treatment, on which could be shed light via the single-cell level determination/bioanalysis. Hence, in this article we have reviewed the special characteristic differences among various kinds of typical single-cell bioanalysis strategies and electrochemical techniques, and then focused on the recent advance and special bio-applications of electrochemiluminescence and micro-nano electrochemical sensing mediated in single-cell bioimaging & bioanalysis. Especially, we have summarized the relevant research exploration of the possibility to establish the in-situ single-cell electrochemical methods to detect cell heterogeneity through determination of specific biomolecules and bioimaging of some important biological processes. Eventually, this review has explored some important advances of electrochemical single-cell detection techniques for the real-time cellular bioimaging and diagnostics of some disease lesions like tumors. It raises the possibility to provide the specific in-situ platform to exploit the versatile, sensitive, and high-resolution electrochemical single-cell analysis for the promising biomedical applications like rapid tracing of some disease lesions or in vivo bioimaging for precise cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Aim: To develop an optimized approach for encapsulating a 2-alkylthioimidazolone-based copper coordination compound within liposomes, which could offer treatment of cancer and bacterial infections by reactive oxygen species generation toxicity mechanisms. Materials & methods: For drug-loaded liposome preparation, lipids and drug mixture in organic solvents was injected into copper salt solution, forming a coordination compound simultaneously embedded in the lipid bilayer. In vitro tests were performed on MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Results: Liposomes had a loading capacity of up to 1.75% (molar drug-to-lipid ratio). In vitro tests showed increased viability and accumulation of the liposomal formulation compared with free drug as well as lack of cytotoxicity in hepatocytes. Conclusion: This optimized technique for encapsulating large copper complexes in liposomes could be used to improve their delivery and better treat cancer and bacterial infections.

Abstract
Ultramicroelectrode (UME), or, equivalently, microelectrode, probes are increasingly used for single-cell measurements of cellular properties and processes, including physiological activity, such as metabolic fluxes and respiration rates. Major challenges for the sensitivity of such measurements include: (i) the relative magnitude of cellular and UME fluxes (manifested in the current); and (ii) issues around the stability of the UME response over time. To explore the extent to which these factors impact the precision of electrochemical cellular measurements, we undertake a systematic analysis of measurement conditions and experimental parameters for determining single cell respiration rates via the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in single HeLa cells. Using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), with a platinum UME as the probe, we employ a self-referencing measurement protocol, rarely employed in SECM, whereby the UME is repeatedly approached from bulk solution to a cell, and a short pulse to oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) potential is performed near the cell and in bulk solution. This approach enables the periodic tracking of the bulk UME response to which the near-cell response is repeatedly compared (referenced) and also ensures that the ORR near the cell is performed only briefly, minimizing the effect of the electrochemical process on the cell. SECM experiments are combined with a finite element method (FEM) modeling framework to simulate oxygen diffusion and the UME response. Taking a realistic range of single cell OCR to be 1 × 10-18 to 1 × 10-16 mol s-1, results from the combination of FEM simulations and self-referencing SECM measurements show that these OCR values are at, or below, the present detection sensitivity of the technique. We provide a set of model-based suggestions for improving these measurements in the future but highlight that extraordinary improvements in the stability and precision of SECM measurements will be required if single cell OCR measurements are to be realized.

Abstract
Cell heterogeneity poses a formidable challenge for tumor theranostics, requiring high-resolution strategies for intercellular bioanalysis between single cells. Nanoelectrode-based electrochemical analysis has attracted much attention due to its advantages of label-free characteristics, relatively low cost, and ultra-high resolution for single-cell analysis. Here, we have designed and developed a subcellular biolabeling and bioresponsive real-time monitoring strategy for precise bioimaging-guided cancer diagnosis and theranostics. Our observations revealed the apparent intracellular migration of biosynthetic Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) at different subcellular locations, i.e., from the mitochondria to the mitochondrion-free region in the cytoplasm, which may be helpful for controlling over the biosynthesis of Au NCs. Considering the precise biolabeling advantage of the intracellular biosynthetic Au NCs for biomedical imaging of cancers, it is important to realize the biosynthetic Au NC-enabled precise control in real-time theranostics of cancer cells. Therefore, this work raises the possibility to achieve subcellular monitoring of H2O2 for targeting cancer theranostics, thereby providing a new way to explore the underlying mechanism and imaging-guided tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Light can be guided without diffraction in prefabricated structures: optical fibers and waveguides or in actively created spatial solitons in optically nonlinear media. Here, an approach in which a self-stabilized optical waveguide develops from a reservoir of building blocks-spherical polymer microparticles (MPs)-and is pushed through an optically passive medium-water-is presented. The optical waveguide, formed by a chain of these microparticles and one microsphere wide, is self-stabilized and propelled by the guided light, while its geometrical and dynamical properties depend on the diameter-to-wavelength ratio. The smallest investigated particles, 500 nm in diameter, form single-mode waveguides up to tens of micrometers long, with the length limited only by optical losses. In contrast, waveguides constructed of larger MPs, 1 and 2.5 µm in diameter, are limited in length to only a few particles due to interference of different modes and beating of light intensity.

Abstract
Scanning electrochemical probe microscopy (SEPM) techniques can disclose the local electrochemical reactivity of interfaces in single-entity and sub-entity studies. Operando SEPM measurements consist of using a SEPM tip to investigate the performance of electrocatalysts, while the reactivity of the interface is simultaneously modulated. This powerful combination can correlate electrochemical activity with changes in surface properties, e.g., topography and structure, as well as provide insight into reaction mechanisms. The focus of this review is to reveal the recent progress in local SEPM measurements of the catalytic activity of a surface toward the reduction and evolution of O2 and H2 and electrochemical conversion of CO2. The capabilities of SEPMs are showcased, and the possibility of coupling other techniques to SEPMs is presented. Emphasis is given to scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM), electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM), and scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM).

Abstract
The intrinsic biophysical properties of cells, such as mechanical, acoustic, and electrical properties, are valuable indicators of a cell's function and state. However, traditional single-cell biophysical characterization methods are hindered by limited measurable properties, time-consuming procedures, and complex system setups. This study presents acousto-dielectric tweezers that leverage the balance between controllable acoustophoretic and dielectrophoretic forces applied on cells through surface acoustic waves and alternating current electric fields, respectively. Particularly, the balanced acoustophoretic and dielectrophoretic forces can trap cells at equilibrium positions independent of the cell size to differentiate between various cell-intrinsic mechanical, acoustic, and electrical properties. Experimental results show our mechanism has the potential for applications in single-cell analysis, size-insensitive cell separation, and cell phenotyping, which are all primarily based on cells' intrinsic biophysical properties. Our results also show the measured equilibrium position of a cell can inversely determine multiple biophysical properties, including membrane capacitance, cytoplasm conductivity, and acoustic contrast factor. With these features, our acousto-dielectric tweezing mechanism is a valuable addition to the resources available for biophysical property-based biological and medical research.

Abstract
Controlled photoreduction of Pt(IV) prodrugs is a challenging task due to the possibility of targeted light-controlled activation of anticancer agents without affecting healthy tissues. Also, a conjugation of photosensitizers and clinically used platinum drugs into one Pt(IV) prodrug allows combining photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy approaches into one molecule. Herein, we designed the cisplatin-based Pt(IV) prodrug Riboplatin with tetraacetylriboflavin in the axial position. A novel Pt(IV) prodrug is able to act both as a photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent through the conversion of ground-state 3O2 to excited-state 1O2 and as an agent of photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) through releasing of cisplatin under gentle blue light irradiation, without the requirement of a reducing agent. The light-induced behavior of Riboplatin was investigated using an electrochemical sensor in MCF-7 tumor spheroids. Photocontrolled cisplatin release and ROS generation were detected electrochemically in real time. This appears to be the first confirmation of simultaneous photoactivated release of anticancer drug cisplatin and ROS from a dual-action Pt(IV) prodrug observed from the inside of living tumor spheroids.

Abstract
AbstractElectrode miniaturization has profoundly revolutionized the field of electrochemical sensing, opening up unprecedented opportunities for probing biological events with a high spatial and temporal resolution, integrating electrochemical systems with microfluidics, and designing arrays for multiplexed sensing. Several technological issues posed by the desire for downsizing have been addressed so far, leading to micrometric and nanometric sensing systems with different degrees of maturity. However, there is still an endless margin for researchers to improve current strategies and cope with demanding sensing fields, such as lab-on-a-chip devices and multi-array sensors, brain chemistry, and cell monitoring. In this review, we present current trends in the design of micro-/nano-electrochemical sensors and cutting-edge applications reported in the last 10 years. Micro- and nanosensors are divided into four categories depending on the transduction mechanism, e.g., amperometric, impedimetric, potentiometric, and transistor-based, to best guide the reader through the different detection strategies and highlight major advancements as well as still unaddressed demands in electrochemical sensing.

Abstract
AbstractReactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are formed during normal cellular metabolism and contribute to its regulation, while many pathological processes are associated with ROS/RNS imbalances. Modern methods for measuring ROS/RNS are mainly based on the use of inducible fluorescent dyes and protein-based sensors, which have several disadvantages for in vivo use. Intravital electrochemical nanosensors can be used to quantify ROS/RNS with high sensitivity without exogenous tracers and allow dynamic ROS/RNS measurements in vivo. Here, we developed a method for quantifying total ROS/RNS levels in the liver and evaluated our setup in live mice using three common models of liver disease associated with ROS activation: acute liver injury with CCl4, partial hepatectomy (HE), and induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We have demonstrated using intravital electrochemical detection that any exposure to the peritoneum in vivo leads to an increase in total ROS/RNS levels, from a slight increase to an explosion, depending on the procedure. Analysis of the total ROS/RNS level in a partial hepatectomy model revealed oxidative stress, both in mice 24 h after HE and in sham-operated mice. We quantified dose-dependent ROS/RNS production in CCl4-induced injury with underlying neutrophil infiltration and cell death. We expect that in vivo electrochemical measurements of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species in the liver may become a routine approach that provides valuable data in research and preclinical studies.

Abstract
Quartz nanopipette-based carbon nanoelectrodes (CNEs) have attracted extensive attention in nanoscale electrochemistry due to their simple and efficient fabrication, chemically inert materials, flexible size (down to a few nanometers), and ultrathin insulating encapsulation. However, these pristine CNEs usually have significantly irregular morphology on the surface, which greatly limits the applications where inlaid nanodisks are urgently needed. To address this critical issue, we have developed a new precise polishing strategy using paraffin coating protection (i.e., avoiding breakage of quartz materials) and real-time monitoring with a high impedance meter (i.e., indicating electrode exposure) to produce flat carbon nanodisk electrodes. The surface flatness of polished CNEs has been confirmed by a combination of scanning electron microscopy, fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electrochemical microscopy. As compared to the expensive focused ion beam processing, this strategy is competitive in terms of the low cost and availability of the equipment and enables the preparation of polished CNEs with sufficiently small size. The flattened CNEs have been exemplified for grafting molecular catalysts to achieve the durable catalysis of reactive molecules or for immobilizing single-particle electrocatalysts to measure the intrinsic activity under sufficient mass-transfer rates.

Abstract
We report herein a Pt(IV) prodrug with metronidazole in axial positions Pt-Mnz. The nitroaromatic axial ligand was conjugated with a cisplatin scaffold to irreversibly reduce under hypoxic conditions, thereby retaining the Pt(IV) prodrug in the area of hypoxia. X-ray near-edge adsorption spectroscopy (XANES) on dried drug-preincubated tumor cell samples revealed a gradual release of cisplatin from the Pt-Mnz prodrug instead of rapid intracellular degradation. The ability of the prodrug to penetrate into three-dimensional (3D) spheroid cellular cultures was evaluated by a novel electrochemical assay via a platinum-coated carbon nanoelectrode, capable of single-cell measurements. Using a unique technique of electrochemical measurements in single tumor spheroids, we were able to both detect the real-time response of the axial ligand to hypoxia and establish the depth of penetration of the drug into the tumor model.

Abstract
The integration of biological components and artificial devices requires a bio-machine interface that can simultaneously trigger and monitor the activities in biosystems. Herein, we use an organically modified silicate (ormosil) composite coating containing a light-responsive nanocapsule and a fluorescent bioprobe for reactive oxygen species (ROS) to decorate ultrathin optical fibers, namely, ormosil-decorated ultrathin fibers (OD-UFs), and demonstrate that these OD-UFs can optically trigger and monitor the intracellular metabolism activities in living cells. The sizes and shapes of UF tips were finely controlled to match the dimension and mechanical properties of living cells. The increased elasticity of the ormosil coating of OD-UFs reduces possible mechanical damage during the cell membrane penetration. The light-responsive nanocapsule was physically absorbed on the surface of the ormosil coating and could release a stimulant to trigger the metabolism activities in cells upon the guided laser through OD-UFs. The fluorescent bioprobe was covalently linked with the ormosil matrix for monitoring the intracellular ROS generation, which was verified by the in vitro experiments on the microdroplets of a hydrogen peroxide solution. Finally, we found that the living cells could maintain most of their viability after being inserted with OD-UFs, and the intracellular metabolism activities were successfully triggered and monitored at the single-cell level. The OD-UF provides a new platform for the investigation of intracellular behaviors for drug stimulations and represents a new proof of concept for a bio-machine interface based on the optical and chemical activities of organic functional molecules.

Abstract
We report herein the design, synthesis, and biological investigation of a series of novel Pt(IV) prodrugs with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs naproxen, diclofenac, and flurbiprofen, as well as these with stearic acid in the axial position. Six Pt(IV) prodrugs 5-10 were designed, which showed superior antiproliferative activity compared to cisplatin as well as an ability to overcome tumor cell line resistance to cisplatin. By tuning the drug lipophilicity via variation of the axial ligands, the most potent Pt(IV) prodrug 7 was obtained, with an enhanced cellular accumulation of up to 153-fold that of cisplatin and nanomolar cytotoxicity both in 2D and 3D cell cultures. Pt2+ species were detected at different depths of MCF-7 spheroids after incubation with Pt(IV) prodrugs using a Pt-coated carbon nanoelectrode. Cisplatin accumulation in vivo in the murine mammary EMT6 tumor tissue of BALB/c mice after Pt(IV) prodrug injection was proved electrochemically as well. The drug tolerance study on BALB/c mice showed good tolerance of 7 in doses up to 8 mg/kg.

Abstract
Highly precise micromanipulation tools that can manipulate and interrogate cell organelles and components must be developed to support the rapid development of new cell-based medical therapies, thereby facilitating in-depth understanding of cell dynamics, cell component functions, and disease mechanisms. This paper presents a literature review on micro/nanomanipulation tools and their control methods for single-cell surgery. Micromanipulation methods specifically based on laser, microneedle, and untethered micro/nanotools are presented in detail. The limitations of these techniques are also discussed. The biological significance and clinical applications of single-cell surgery are also addressed in this paper.

Abstract
Nanopipettes provide a promising confined space that enables advances in single-molecule analysis, and their unique conical tubular structure is also suitable for single-cell analysis. In this work, functionalized-nanopore-based single-entity electrochemistry (SEE) analysis tools were developed for the label-free monitoring of single-molecule glycoprotein-boronate affinity interaction for the first time, and immunoglobulin G (IgG, one of the important biomarkers for many diseases such as COVID-19 and cancers) was employed as the model glycoprotein. The principle of this method is based on a single glycoprotein molecule passing through 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA)-modified nanopipettes under a bias voltage and in the meantime interacting with the boronate group from modified 4-MPBA. This translocation and affinity interaction process can generate distinguishable current blockade signals. Based on the statistical analysis of these signals, the equilibrium association constant (κa) of single-molecule glycoprotein-boronate affinity interaction was obtained. The results show that the κa of IgG in the confined nanopore at the single-molecule level is much larger than that measured in the open system at the ensemble level, which is possibly due to the enhanced multivalent synergistic binding in the restricted space. Moreover, the functionalized-nanopore-based SEE analysis tools were further applied for the label-free detection of IgG, and the results indicate that our method has potential application value for the detection of glycoproteins in real samples, which also paves way for the single-cell analysis of glycoproteins.

Abstract
The biodistribution of chemotherapy compounds within tumor tissue is one of the main challenges in the development of antineoplastic drugs, and techniques for simple, inexpensive, sensitive, and selective detection of various analytes in tumors are of great importance. In this paper we propose the use of platinized carbon nanoelectrodes (PtNEs) for the electrochemical detection of platinum-based drugs in various biological models, including single cells and tumor spheroids in vitro and inside solid tumors in vivo. We have demonstrated the quantitative direct detection of Pt(II) in breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells treated with cisplatin and a cisplatin-based DNP prodrug. To realize the potential of this technique in advanced tumor models, we measured Pt(II) in 3D tumor spheroids in vitro and in tumor-bearing mice in vivo. The concentration gradient of Pt(II) species correlated with the distance from the sample surface in MCF-7 tumor spheroids. We then performed the detection of Pt(II) species in tumor-bearing mice treated intravenously with cisplatin and DNP. We found that there was deeper penetration of DNP in comparison to cisplatin. This research demonstrates a minimally invasive, real-time electrochemical technique for the study of platinum-based drugs.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer among men. Its main method of treatment is chemotherapy, which has a wide range of side effects. One of the solutions to this challenge is targeted delivery to prostate cancer cells. Here we synthesized a novel small-molecule PSMA-targeted conjugate based on the monomethyl auristatin E. Its structure and conformational properties were investigated by NMR spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity, intracellular reactive oxygen species induction, and stability under liver microsomes and P450-cytochrome species were investigated for this conjugate. The conjugate demonstrated 77-85% tumor growth inhibition levels on 22Rv1 (PSMA (+)) xenografts, compared with a 37% inhibition level on PC-3 (PSMA (-)) xenografts, in a single dose of 0.3 mg/kg and a sufficiently high therapeutic index of 21. Acute, chronic, and subchronic toxicities and pharmacokinetics have shown that the synthesized conjugate is a promising potential agent for the chemotherapy of prostate cancer.

Abstract
We report a method for synthesizing and studying shape-controlled, single Pt nanoparticles (NPs) supported on carbon nanoelectrodes. The key advance is that the synthetic method makes it possible to produce single, electrochemically active NPs with a vast range of crystal structures and sizes. Equally important, the NPs can be fully characterized, and, therefore, the electrochemical properties of the NPs can be directly correlated to the size and structure of a single shape. This makes it possible to directly correlate experimental results to first-principles theory. Because just one well-characterized NP is analyzed at a time, the difficulty of applying a theoretical analysis to an ensemble of NPs having different sizes and structures is avoided. In this article, we report on two specific Pt NP shapes having sizes on the order of 200 nm: concave hexoctahedral (HOH) and concave trapezohedral (TPH). The former has {15 6 1} facets and the latter {10 1 1} facets. The electrochemical properties of these single NPs for the formic acid oxidation (FAO) reaction are compared to those of a single, spherical polycrystalline Pt NP of the same size. Finally, density functional theory, performed prior to the electrochemical studies, were used to interpret the experimental results of the FAO experiments.

Abstract
Cellular heterogeneity is of significance in cell-based assays for life science, biomedicine and clinical diagnostics. Electrical impedance sensing technology has become a powerful tool, allowing for rapid, non-invasive, and label-free acquisition of electrical parameters of single cells. These electrical parameters, i.e., equivalent cell resistance, membrane capacitance and cytoplasm conductivity, are closely related to cellular biophysical properties and dynamic activities, such as size, morphology, membrane intactness, growth state, and proliferation. This review summarizes basic principles, analytical models and design concepts of single-cell impedance sensing devices, including impedance flow cytometry (IFC) to detect flow-through single cells and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to monitor immobilized single cells. Then, recent advances of both electrical impedance sensing systems applied in cell recognition, cell counting, viability detection, phenotypic assay, cell screening, and other cell detection are presented. Finally, prospects of impedance sensing technology in single-cell analysis are discussed.

Abstract
Inspired from bioprotein channels of living organisms, constructing "abiotic" analogues, solid-state nanochannels, to achieve "smart" sensing towards various targets, is highly seductive. When encountered with certain stimuli, dynamic switch of terminal modified probes in terms of surface charge, conformation, fluorescence property, electric potential as well as wettability can be monitored via transmembrane ionic current, fluorescence intensity, faraday current signals of nanochannels and so on. Herein, the modification methodologies of nanochannels and targets-detecting application are summarized in ions, small molecules, as well as biomolecules, and systematically reviewed are the nanochannel-based detection means including 1) by transmembrane current signals; 2) by the coordination of current- and fluorescence-dual signals; 3) by faraday current signals from nanochannel-based electrode. The coordination of current and fluorescence dual signals offers great benefits for synchronous temporal and spatial monitoring. Faraday signals enable the nanoelectrode to monitor both redox and non-redox components. Notably, by incorporation with confined effect of tip region of a needle-like nanopipette, glorious in-vivo monitoring is conferred on the nanopipette detector at high temporal-spatial resolution. In addition, some outlooks for future application in reliable practical samples analysis and leading research endeavors in the related fantastic fields are provided.

Abstract
With reduced background and high sensitivity, photoelectrochemistry (PEC) may be applied as an intracellular nanotool and open a new technological direction of single-cell study. Nevertheless, the present palette of single-cell tools lacks such a PEC-oriented solution. Here a dual-functional photocathodic single-cell nanotool capable of direct electroosmotic intracellular drug delivery and evaluation of oxidative stress is devised by engineering a target-specific organic molecule/NiO/Ni film at the tip of a nanopipette. Specifically, the organic molecule probe serves simultaneously as the biorecognition element and sensitizer to synergize with p-type NiO. Upon intracellular delivery at picoliter level, the oxidative stress effect will cause structural change of the organic probe, switching its optical absorption and altering the cathodic response. This work has revealed the potential of PEC single-cell nanotool and extended the boundary of current single-cell electroanalysis.

Abstract
Nanotoxicology is an emerging field employed in the assessment of unintentional hazardous effects produced by nanoparticles (NPs) impacting human health and the environment. The nanotoxicity affects the range between induction of cellular stress and cytotoxicity. The reasons so far reported for these toxicological effects are due to their variable sizes with high surface areas, shape, charge, and physicochemical properties, which upon interaction with the biological components may influence their functioning and result in adverse outcomes (AO). Thus, understanding the risk produced by these materials now is an important safety concern for the development of nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Since the time nanotoxicology has evolved, the methods employed have been majorly relied on in vitro cell-based evaluations, while these simple methods may not predict the complexity involved in preclinical and clinical conditions concerning pharmacokinetics, organ toxicity, and toxicities evidenced through multiple cellular levels. The safety profiles of nanoscale nanomaterials and nanoformulations in the delivery of drugs and therapeutic applications are of considerable concern. In addition, the safety assessment for new nanomedicine formulas lacks regulatory standards. Though the in vivo studies are greatly needed, the end parameters used for risk assessment are not predicting the possible toxic effects produced by various nanoformulations. On the other side, due to increased restrictions on animal usage and demand for the need for high-throughput assays, there is a need for developing and exploring novel methods to evaluate NPs safety concerns. The progress made in molecular biology and the availability of several modern techniques may offer novel and innovative methods to evaluate the toxicological behavior of different NPs by using single cells, cell population, and whole organisms. This review highlights the recent novel methods developed for the evaluation of the safety impacts of NPs and attempts to solve the problems that come with risk assessment. The relevance of investigating adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) in nanotoxicology has been stressed in particular.

Abstract
Electrochemistry represents an important analytical technique used to acquire and assess chemical information in detail, which can aid fundamental investigations in various fields, such as biological studies. For example, electrochemistry can be used as simple and cost-effective means for bio-marker tracing in applications, such as health monitoring and food security screening. In combination with light, powerful spatially-resolved applications in both the investigation and manipulation of biochemical reactions begin to unfold. In this article, we focus primarily on light-addressable electrochemistry based on semiconductor materials and light-readable electrochemistry enabled by electrochemiluminescence (ECL). In addition, the emergence of multiplexed and imaging applications will also be introduced.

Abstract
The reduction in ion current as a fine pipette approaches a cell surface allows the cell surface topography to be imaged, with nanoscale resolution, without contact with the delicate cell surface. A variety of different methods have been developed and refined to scan the topography of the dynamic cell surface at high resolution and speed. Measurement of cell topography can be complemented by performing local probing or mapping of the cell surface using the same pipette. This can be done by performing single-channel recording, applying force, delivering agonists, using pipettes fabricated to contain an electrochemical probe, or combining with fluorescence imaging. These methods in combination have great potential to image and map the surface of live cells at the nanoscale.

Abstract
A new nanosensor for glutathione (GSH) detection by use of single nanoelectrodes has been developed through a dual-signaling ratiometric amplification strategy. Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) metalized DNA1 was modified on an Au nanoelectrode surface. Due to the strong affinity between Ag NP and GSH, Ag NPs could be removed by the addition of GSH. The remaining metalized DNA1 could hardly form a double strand, while the de-metalized DNA1 could hybrid with DNA2 and DNA3 to form a complex structure to adsorb methylene blue (MB), and then the electrochemical signal of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) from MB oxidation could be observed. With the addition of GSH, the peak current of MB oxidation at about -0.27 V (IMB) increases, while the signal of Ag oxidation at about 0.1 V (IAg) decreases. It was found that there had a linear relationship between the ratio of dual-signal (IMB/IAg) and the GSH concentrations, which could be used to detect GSH. The ratiometric nanosensor is label-free, easy to operate, and can eliminate inherent system errors. Considering the advantages of nanoelectrodes, such as low IR drop, fast response, and small overall dimension, this developed nanosensor can be used for GSH detection living systems (e.g., cell lysate).

Abstract
Cytoplasmic microviscosity (CPMV) plays essential roles in governing the diffusion-mediated cellular processes and has been recognized as a reliable indicator of the cellular response of many diseases and malfunctions. Current CPMV studies are exclusively established by probe-assisted optical methods, which nevertheless necessitate the complicated synthesis and delivery of optical probes into cells and thus the issues of biocompatibility and bio-orthogonality. Using twin nanopipettes integrated with a patch-clamp system, a practical electrochemical single-cell measurement is presented, which is capable of real-time and long-term CPMV detection without cell disruption. Specifically, upon the operation of the twin nanopipettes, the cellular CPMV status, which is correlated to cytoplasmic ionic mobility, could be sensibly transduced via the ionic current passing through the nanosystem. The average CPMV value of HeLa cells was detected as ca. 86 cP. Notably, the correlation between chemotherapy and CPMV alterations makes this approach possible for the real-time and long-term assessment of the evolution of external stimuli, as exemplified by the two natural products taxol and colchicine. Integrated with the patch-clamp setup, this study features the first use of twin nanopipettes for electrochemical CPMV monitoring of single living cells, and it is expected to inspire more interest in the exploitation of dual- and multiple nanopipettes for advanced single-cell analysis.

Abstract
Guanine (G) oxidation products, such as 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-oxo-guanine (8-OXOG), have been widely studied as promising biomarkers for DNA oxidative damage. In this work, we develop a new method to detect G oxidative products released from live cells after chromium (vi) ion or hydrogen peroxide treatments by using a glass nanopipette-based flexible gold nanoelectrode (fGNE). Specific response to G oxidative products with high sensitivity can be detected from the fGNE tip through integrated electrochemical measurements and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The fGNE apex can be positioned very close to the cell membrane noninvasively because of its high flexibility and nanoscale tip size. With the assistance of the electrophoretic force, the fGNEs can effectively collect and detect the G-derived DNA damage products released from individual cells in the cell culture medium with high sensitivity.

Abstract
Mitochondrial vitality is critical to cellular function, with mitochondrial dysfunction linked to a growing number of human diseases. Tissue and cellular heterogeneity, in terms of genetics, dynamics and function means that increasingly mitochondrial research is conducted at the single cell level. Whilst there are several technologies that are currently available for single-cell analysis, each with their advantages, they cannot be easily adapted to study mitochondria with subcellular resolution. Here we review the current techniques and strategies for mitochondrial isolation, critically discussing each technology's limitations for future mitochondrial research. Finally, we highlight and discuss the recent breakthroughs in sub-cellular isolation techniques, with a particular focus on nanotechnologies that enable the isolation of mitochondria from subcellular compartments. This allows isolation of mitochondria with unprecedented spatial precision with minimal disruption to mitochondria and their immediate cellular environment.

Dispirooxindoles Based on 2-Selenoxo-Imidazolidin-4-Ones: Synthesis, Cytotoxicity and ROS Generation Ability. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22052613.

Abstract
A regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of two types of dispiro derivatives of 2-selenoxoimidazolidin-4-ones, differing in the position of the nitrogen atom in the central pyrrolidine ring of the spiro-fused system-namely, 2-selenoxodispiro[imidazolidine-4,3'-pyrrolidine-2',3″-indoline]-2″,5-diones (5a-h) and 2-senenoxodispiro[imidazolidine-4,3'-pyrrolidine-4',3″-indoline]-2″,5-diones (6a-m)-were developed based on a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated from isatin and sarcosine or formaldehyde and sarcosine to 5-arylidene or 5-indolidene-2-selenoxo-tetrahydro-4H-imidazole-4-ones. Selenium-containing dispiro indolinones generally exhibit cytotoxic activity near to the activity of the corresponding oxygen and sulfur-containing derivatives. Compounds 5b, 5c, and 5e demonstrated considerable in vitro cytotoxicity in the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test (concentration of compounds that caused 50% death of cells (CC50) 7.6-8.7 μM) against the A549 cancer cell line with the VA13/A549 selectivity index 5.2-6.9; some compounds (5 and 6) increased the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the experiment on A549 and PC3 cells using platinized carbon nanoelectrode. The tests for p53 activation for compounds 5 and 6 on the transcriptional reporter suggest that the investigated compounds can only have an indirect p53-dependent mechanism of action. For the compounds 5b, 6b, and 6l, the ROS generation may be one of the significant mechanisms of their cytotoxic action.

Abstract
Metabolic analysis in animals is usually either evaluated as whole-body measurements or in isolated tissue samples. To reveal tissue specificities in vivo, this study uses scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to provide localized oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) in different regions of single adult Caenorhabditis elegans individuals. This is achieved by measuring the oxygen reduction current at the SECM tip electrode and using a finite element method model of the experiment that defines oxygen concentration and flux at the surface of the organism. SECM mapping measurements uncover a marked heterogeneity of OCR along the worm, with high respiration rates at the reproductive system region. To enable sensitive and quantitative measurements, a self-referencing approach is adopted, whereby the oxygen reduction current at the SECM tip is measured at a selected point on the worm and in bulk solution (calibration). Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, our SECM measurements indicate that viable eggs in the reproductive system are the main contributors in the total oxygen consumption of adult Caenorhabditis elegans. The finding that large regional differences in OCR exist within the animal provides a new understanding of oxygen consumption and metabolic measurements, paving the way for tissue-specific metabolic analyses and toxicity evaluation within single organisms.

Abstract
Development of new principles and techniques at the single-cell level is significantly important since cells as basic units of living organisms always bear large heterogeneity. Herein, we demonstrate a new electrochemical principle for single-cell analysis based on an ion current blockage at the orifice of a nanopipette, defined as resistance cytometry. The amplitude and the frequency of ion current transients show strong dependence on the size and the concentration of cells, which could be used for in situ cell sizing and counting. This technique shows good ability to detect the size change of RBCs under stimulations of different pH and osmotic pressure values. More importantly, the as-presented resistance cytometry can distinguish lymphoma blood cells from normal blood cells for patient blood samples. The as-presented resistance cytometry is label-free, non-invasive, and non-destructive, which not only opens new opportunities for single-cell analysis but also provides a new platform for cell-related medical diagnostic technologies.
