Abstract
Cellular glucose uptake is a key feature reflecting metabolic demand of cells in physiopathological conditions. Fluorophore-conjugated sugar derivatives are widely used for monitoring glucose transporter (GLUT) activity at the single-cell level, but have limitations in in vivo applications. Here, we develop a click chemistry-based post-labeling method for flow cytometric measurement of glucose uptake with low background adsorption. This strategy relies on GLUT-mediated uptake of azide-tagged sugars, and subsequent intracellular labeling with a cell-permeable fluorescent reagent via a copper-free click reaction. Screening a library of azide-substituted monosaccharides, we discover 6-azido-6-deoxy-D-galactose (6AzGal) as a suitable substrate of GLUTs. 6AzGal displays glucose-like physicochemical properties and reproduces in vivo dynamics similar to 18F-FDG. Combining this method with multi-parametric immunophenotyping, we demonstrate the ability to precisely resolve metabolically-activated cells with various GLUT activities in ex vivo and in vivo models. Overall, this method provides opportunities to dissect the heterogenous metabolic landscape in complex tissue environments.

Abstract
Cancer cells integrate multiple biosynthetic demands to drive unrestricted proliferation. How these cellular processes crosstalk to fuel cancer cell growth is still not fully understood. Here, we uncover the mechanisms by which the transcription factor Carbohydrate responsive element binding protein (ChREBP) functions as an oncogene during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Mechanistically, ChREBP triggers the expression of the PI3K regulatory subunit p85α, to sustain the activity of the pro-oncogenic PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in HCC. In parallel, increased ChREBP activity reroutes glucose and glutamine metabolic fluxes into fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis to support PI3K/AKT-mediated HCC growth. Thus, HCC cells have a ChREBP-driven circuitry that ensures balanced coordination between PI3K/AKT signaling and appropriate cell anabolism to support HCC development. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of ChREBP by SBI-993 significantly suppresses in vivo HCC tumor growth. Overall, we show that targeting ChREBP with specific inhibitors provides an attractive therapeutic window for HCC treatment.

Abstract
Bioluminescence has been a fascinating natural phenomenon of light emission from living creatures. It happens when the enzyme luciferase facilitates the oxidation of luciferin, resulting in the creation of an excited-state species that emits light. Although there are many bioluminescent systems, few have been identified. D-luciferin-dependent systems, coelenterazine-dependent systems, Cypridina luciferin-based systems, tetrapyrrole-based luciferins, bacterial bioluminescent systems, and fungal bioluminescent systems are natural bioluminescent systems. Since different bioluminescence systems, such as various combinations of luciferin-luciferase pair reactions, have different light emission wavelengths, they benefit industrial applications such as drug discovery, protein-protein interactions, in vivo imaging in small animals, and controlling neurons. Due to the expression of luciferase and easy permeation of luciferin into most cells and tissues, bioluminescence assays are applied nowadays with modern technologies in most cell and tissue types. It is a versatile technique in a variety of biomedical research. Furthermore, there are some investigated blue-sky research projects, such as bioluminescent plants and lamps. This review article is mainly based on the theory of diverse bioluminescence systems and their past, present, and future applications.

Abstract
The synthesis of caged luminescent peptide substrates remains challenging, especially when libraries of the substrates are required. Most currently available synthetic methods rely on a solution-phase approach, which is less suited for parallel synthesis purposes. We herein present a solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) method for the synthesis of caged aminoluciferin peptides via side chain anchoring of the P1 residue. After the synthesis of a preliminary test library consisting of 40 compounds, the synthetic method was validated and optimized for up to >100 g of resin. Subsequently, two separate larger peptide libraries were synthesized either having a P1 = lysine or arginine residue containing in total 719 novel peptide substrates. The use of a more stable caged nitrile precursor instead of caged aminoluciferin rendered our parallel synthetic approach completely suitable for SPPS and serine protease profiling was demonstrated using late-stage aminoluciferin generation.

Abstract
A facile and sensitive glucose sandwich assay using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been developed. Glucose was captured by 3-aminopheyonyl boronic acid (APBA) modified Ag nanoparticles decorated onto a polyamide surface. Then, Ag nanoparticles modified with 3-amino-6-ethynylpicolinonitrile (AEPO) and APBA were used as SERS tags. APBA forms specific cis-diol compounds with glucose molecules avoiding interference by other saccharides and biomolecules in urine enabling its selective detection. As the actual Raman reporter, AEPO exhibited a distinctive SERS peak in the Raman silent region, thus increasing the sensitivity of the glucose detection to 10-11 M. Additionally, the developed SERS assay was reusable, and its applicability in artificial urine samples demonstrated future clinical utility confirming the potential of this innovative technology as a diagnostic tool for glucose sensing.

Abstract
Most existing bioluminescence imaging methods can only visualize the location of engineered bacteria in vivo, generally precluding the imaging of natural bacteria. Herein, we leverage bacteria-specific ATP-binding cassette sugar transporters to internalize luciferase and luciferin by hitchhiking them on the unique carbon source of bacteria. Typically, the synthesized bioluminescent probes are made of glucose polymer (GP), luciferase, Cy5 and ICG-modified silicon nanoparticles and their substrates are made of GP and D-luciferin-modified silicon nanoparticles. Compared with bacteria with mutations in transporters, which hardly internalize the probes in vitro (i.e., ~2% of uptake rate), various bacteria could robustly engulf the probes with a high uptake rate of around 50%. Notably, the developed strategy enables ex vivo bioluminescence imaging of human vitreous containing ten species of pathogens collected from patients with bacterial endophthalmitis. By using this platform, we further differentiate bacterial and non-bacterial nephritis and colitis in mice, while their chemiluminescent counterparts are unable to distinguish them.

Abstract
This study presents a glucose biosensor based on electrospun core-sheath nanofibers. Two types of film were fabricated using different electrospinning procedures. Film F1 was composed solely of core-sheath nanofibers fabricated using a modified coaxial electrospinning process. Film F2 was a double-layer hybrid film fabricated through a sequential electrospinning and blending process. The bottom layer of F2 comprised core-sheath nanofibers fabricated using a modified process, in which pure polymethacrylate type A (Eudragit L100) was used as the core section and water-soluble lignin (WSL) and phenol were loaded as the sheath section. The top layer of F2 contained glucose oxidase (GOx) and gold nanoparticles, which were distributed throughout the polyvinylpyrrolidone K90 (PVP K90) nanofibers through a single-fluid blending electrospinning process. The study investigated the sequential electrospinning process in detail. The experimental results demonstrated that the F2 hybrid film had a higher degradation efficiency of β-D-glucose than F1, reaching a maximum of over 70% after 12 h within the concentration range of 10-40 mmol/L. The hybrid film F2 is used for colorimetric sensing of β-D-glucose in the range of 1-15 mmol/L. The solution exhibited a color that deepened gradually with an increase in β-D-glucose concentration. Electrospinning is flexible in creating structures for bio-cascade reactions, and the double-layer hybrid film can provide a simple template for developing other sensing nanomaterials.

Abstract
Aberrant cerebral glucose metabolism is related to many brain diseases, especially brain tumor. However, it remains challenging to measure the dynamic changes in cerebral glucose. Here, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) optical transducer to sensitively monitor the glucose variations in cerebrospinal fluid in vivo. The transducer consists of an oxygen-sensitive nanoparticle combined with glucose oxidase (GOx), yielding highly sensitive NIR phosphorescence in response to blood glucose change. We demonstrated long-term continuous glucose monitoring by using the NIR transducer. After subcutaneous implantation, the glucose transducer provides a strong luminescence signal that can continuously monitor blood glucose fluctuations for weeks. By using the NIR emission of the transducer, we further observed abnormal dynamic changes in cerebrospinal fluid glucose and quantitatively assessed cerebral glucose uptake rates in transgenic mice bearing brain tumors. This study provides a promising method for the diagnosis of various metabolic diseases with altered glucose metabolism.

In the presence of H2O2, Fe3O4@Pt NPs catalyze the redox reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and generate a colour change from colourless to blue. On this basis, a colorimetric glucose sensing method assisted by glucose oxidase (GOx) was developed. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of the proposed assay for H2O2 and glucose were 0.36 µM and 1.27 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the fabricated colorimetric method was successfully applied to analyze glucose concentrations by using a paper device as a measuring platform without a spectrometer. In addition, this method exhibited satisfactory recovery for glucose detection in human serum samples and urine samples, which satisfied the requirements for normal detection of real samples. This study provides a good candidate for health monitoring of glucose and also expands the applications of nanoenzymes and paper-based colorimetric assays in point-of-care testing.

D’Souza LJ, Wright SH, Bhattacharya D. Genetic evidence that uptake of the fluorescent analog 2NBDG occurs independently of known glucose transporters. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0261801.

Abstract
The fluorescent derivative of glucose, 2-Deoxy-2-[(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)-amino]-D-glucose (2NBDG), is a widely used surrogate reagent to visualize glucose uptake in live cells at single cell resolution. Using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in 5TGM1 myeloma cells, we demonstrate that ablation of the glucose transporter gene Slc2a1 abrogates radioactive glucose uptake but has no effect on the magnitude or kinetics of 2NBDG import. Extracellular 2NBDG, but not NBD-fructose was transported by primary plasma cells into the cytoplasm suggesting a specific mechanism that is unlinked from glucose import and that of chemically similar compounds. Neither excess glucose nor pharmacological inhibition of GLUT1 impacted 2NBDG uptake in myeloma cells or primary splenocytes. Genetic ablation of other expressed hexose transporters individually or in combination with one another also had no impact on 2NBDG uptake. Ablation of the genes in the Slc29 and Slc35 families of nucleoside and nucleoside sugar transporters also failed to impact 2NBDG import. Thus, cellular uptake of 2NBDG is not necessarily a faithful indicator of glucose transport and is promoted by an unknown mechanism.

Abstract
The chemical reactions underlying the emission of light in fireflies and other bioluminescent beetles are some of the most thoroughly studied processes by scientists worldwide. Despite these remarkable efforts, fierce academic arguments continue around even some of the most fundamental aspects of the reaction mechanism behind the beetle bioluminescence. In an attempt to reach a consensus, we made an exhaustive search of the available literature and compiled the key discoveries on the fluorescence and chemiluminescence spectrochemistry of the emitting molecule, the firefly oxyluciferin, and its chemical analogues reported over the past 50+ years. The factors that affect the light emission, including intermolecular interactions, solvent polarity, and electronic effects, were analyzed in the context of both the reaction mechanism and the different colors of light emitted by different luciferases. The collective data points toward a combined emission of multiple coexistent forms of oxyluciferin as the most probable explanation for the variation in color of the emitted light. We also highlight realistic research directions to eventually address some of the remaining questions related to firefly bioluminescence. It is our hope that this extensive compilation of data and detailed analysis will not only consolidate the existing body of knowledge on this important phenomenon but will also aid in reaching a wider consensus on some of the mechanistic details of firefly bioluminescence.

Abstract
Natural compounds have diverse structures and are present in different forms of life. Metabolites such as tannins, anthocyanins, and alkaloids, among others, serve as a defense mechanism in live organisms and are undoubtedly compounds of interest for the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Plants, bacteria, and insects represent sources of biomolecules with diverse activities, which are in many cases poorly studied. To use these molecules for different applications, it is essential to know their structure, concentrations, and biological activity potential. In vitro techniques that evaluate the biological activity of the molecules of interest have been developed since the 1950s. Currently, different methodologies have emerged to overcome some of the limitations of these traditional techniques, mainly via reductions in time and costs. These emerging technologies continue to appear due to the urgent need to expand the analysis capacity of a growing number of reported biomolecules. This review presents an updated summary of the conventional and relevant methods to evaluate the natural compounds' biological activity in vitro.

Abstract
The successful synthesis of ruthenium oxide/reduced graphene oxide (RuO2/rGO) heterostructures by one-pot hydrothermal method using graphene oxides and RuCl3 as precursors is reported. The heterostructures had high peroxidase-like (POD-like) activities, which catalyzes the oxidation of classical peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2 to create a blue colored reaction product. The catalytic activity was significantly enhanced by the synergistic effect between RuO2 nanoparticles and rGO. RuO2/rGO had a low Km of 0.068 mM and a high vmax of 1.228 × 10-7 M·s-1 towards TMB in the TMB-H2O2 catalytic oxidation system. In addition, the POD-like activity originating from the electron transfer mechanism was confirmed by cytochrome C (Cyt C) oxidation experiment. A colorimetric method based on RuO2/rGO heterostructures was developed with good sensitivity and selectivity for glucose detection with a limit of detection of 3.34 μM and a linear range of 0-1500 μM. The RuO2/rGO heterostructures have potential applications in the biomedical areas, such as biosensor and diagnostics.

Abstract
As a significant energy source for living systems, the aberrant cellular glucose uptake is seriously implicated in numerous metabolic diseases. Unfortunately, current shortage of robust tools leaves the limitation to understand its precise biology. Herein we presented a bioorthogonal light-up fluorescent probe consist of two reagents, Glu-HT-Me+AzGlu2, for rapidly responsive (within 25 min), highly specific and sensitive (20-folds enhancement) detection of live-cell glucose uptake based on arylphosphine-induced a-PET effect and Staudinger ligation. Especially, taking the advantage of wash-free characteristic, the probe displayed the real-time dynamic monitoring of cellular glucose uptake. Furthermore, it was successfully capable of not only differentiating cancer cells from normal cells, but also allowing evaluation of anticancer/glycolysis/transport mediated glucose flux. Importantly, it was employed to monitor the fluctuations of glucose uptake in a doxycycline-inducible K-rasG12 V expression oncogenic cell system, implying its potential as a valuable tool to explore glucose uptake biology.

Abstract
Glucose is a primary source of energy used in most organisms. Thus, development of reliable approaches to measure intracellular glucose uptake is an important research issue. 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-NBDG), as a fluorescent glucose derivative, has been widely used to track intracellular glucose uptake by fluorescence imaging and measuring in mammalian cells. However, the avoid-less cross-interference of intrinsic autofluorescence background and tested fluorescent compounds limits its ability to provide trustworthy information on intracellular glucose uptake. By the extraction, separation and detection of 2-NBDG, a simple, sensitive and accurate HPLC-FLD method was established and validated for the measurement of intracellular glucose uptake in HepG2 cells. The developed method has been employed successfully to assess the glucose uptake activity of anti-diabetic drugs and fluorescent natural products. A fit-for-purpose partial validation was further performed for quantification and comparison of glucose uptake in AML12, LO2 hepatocytes, L6 myoblasts and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

Abstract
There are several causes of chronic kidney disease, but all of these patients have renal fibrosis. Although many studies have examined the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis, there are still no effective treatments. A healthy and balanced metabolism is necessary for normal cell growth, proliferation, and function, but metabolic abnormalities can lead to pathological changes. Normal energy metabolism is particularly important for maintaining the structure and function of the kidneys because they consume large amounts of energy. We describe the metabolic reprogramming that occurs during renal fibrosis, which includes changes in fatty acid metabolism and glucose metabolism, and the relationship of these changes with renal fibrosis. We also describe the potential role of novel drugs that disrupt this metabolic reprogramming and the development of fibrosis, and current and future challenges in the treatment of fibrosis.

Abstract
Compared with normal cells, cancer cells usually exhibit an increase in glucose uptake as part of the Warburg effect. To take advantage of this hallmark of cancer, glucose transporters could be a good candidate for cancer targeting. Herein, we report novel glycoconjugate aza-BODIPY dyes (AZB-Glc and AZB-Glc-I) that contain two glucose moieties conjugated to near-infrared dyes via the azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. As anticipated, a higher level of AZB-Glc uptake was observed in breast cancer cells that overexpressed glucose transporters (GLUTs), especially GLUT-1, including the triple-negative breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) and human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7), compared to that of normal cells (human fetal lung fibroblasts, HFL1). The cellular uptake of AZB-Glc was in a dose- and time-dependent manner and also depended on GLUT, as evidenced by the decreased uptake of AZB-Glc in the presence of d-glucose or a glucose metabolism suppressor, combretastatin. In addition, light triggered cell death was also investigated through photodynamic therapy (PDT), since near-infrared (NIR) light is known to penetrate deeper tissue than light of shorter wavelengths. AZB-Glc-I, the analog of AZB-Glc containing iodine for enhanced singlet oxygen production upon NIR irradiation, was used for all treatment assays. AZB-Glc-I showed significant NIR light-induced cytotoxicity in cancer cells (IC50 = 1.4-1.6 μM under 1 min irradiation), which was about 20-times lower than that in normal cells (IC50 = 32 μM) under the same conditions, with negligible dark toxicity (IC50 > 100 μM) in all cell lines. Moreover, the singlet oxygen was detected inside the cancer cells after exposure to light in the presence of AZB-Glc-I. Therefore, our glucose conjugated systems proved to efficiently target cancer cells for enhanced photodynamic cancer therapy.

The Effect of GLUT1 on Survival Rate and the Immune Cell Infiltration of Lung Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Meta and Bioinformatics Analysis. Anticancer Agents Med Chem 2021; 22:223-238. [PMID: 34238200 DOI: 10.2174/1871520621666210708115406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) are two major subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Studies have shown that abnormal expression of glucose transport type 1 (GLUT1) in NSCLC patients has been associated with progression, aggressiveness, and poor clinical outcome. However, the clinical effect of GLUT1 expression on LUAD and LUSC is unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aims to learn more about the character of GLUT1 in LUAD and LUSC. METHODS A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the GLUT1 protein level, and bioinformatics analysis was used to detect the GLUT1 mRNA expression level, survival differences, and the infiltration abundance of immune cells in samples from TCGA. Meanwhile, functional and network analysis was conducted to detect important signaling pathways and key genes with the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset. RESULTS Our results showed that GLUT1 was over-expressed both in LUAD and LUSC. LUAD patients with high GLUT1 expression had a poor prognosis. Additionally, GLUT1 was related to B cell and neutrophil infiltration of LUAD. In LUSC, GLUT1 was correlated with tumor purity, B cell, CD8+ T cell, CD4+ T cell, macrophage, neutrophil, and dendritic cell infiltration. The GEO dataset analysis results suggested GLUT1 potentially participated in the p53 signaling pathway and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 and was associated with KDR, TOX3, AGR2, FOXA1, ERBB3, ANGPT1, and COL4A3 gene in LUAD and LUSC. CONCLUSION GLUT1 might be a potential biomarker for aggressive progression and poor prognosis in LUAD, and a therapeutic biomarker in LUSC.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal phosphines were introduced in the context of the Staudinger ligation over 20 years ago. Since that time, phosphine probes have been used in myriad applications to tag azide-functionalized biomolecules. The Staudinger ligation also paved the way for the development of other phosphorus-based chemistries, many of which are widely employed in biological experiments. Several reviews have highlighted early achievements in the design and application of bioorthogonal phosphines. This review summarizes more recent advances in the field. We discuss innovations in classic Staudinger-like transformations that have enabled new biological pursuits. We also highlight relative newcomers to the bioorthogonal stage, including the cyclopropenone-phosphine ligation and the phospha-Michael reaction. The review concludes with chemoselective reactions involving phosphite and phosphonite ligations. For each transformation, we describe the overall mechanism and scope. We also showcase efforts to fine-tune the reagents for specific functions. We further describe recent applications of the chemistries in biological settings. Collectively, these examples underscore the versatility and breadth of bioorthogonal phosphine reagents.

Abstract
Bioluminescent imaging (BLI) is one of the most powerful and widely used preclinical imaging modalities. However, the current technology relies on the use of transgenic luciferase-expressing cells and animals and therefore can only be applied to a limited number of existing animal models of human disease. Here, we report the development of a “portable bioluminescent” (PBL) technology that overcomes most of the major limitations of traditional BLI. We demonstrate that the PBL method is capable of noninvasive measuring the activity of both extracellular (e.g., dipeptidyl peptidase 4) and intracellular (e.g., cytochrome P450) enzymes in vivo in non-luciferase-expressing mice. Moreover, we successfully utilize PBL technology in dogs and human cadaver, paving the way for the translation of functional BLI to the noninvasive quantification of biological processes in large animals. The PBL methodology can be easily adapted for the noninvasive monitoring of a plethora of diseases across multiple species. Bioluminescence imaging tends to rely on transgenic luciferase-expressing cells and animals. Here the authors report a portable bioluminescent system to non-invasively measure intra- and extracellular enzymes in vivo in non-transgenic animals which do not express luciferase.

Abstract
Bioluminescence (BL) relies on the enzymatic reaction between luciferase, a substrate conventionally named luciferin, and various cofactors. BL imaging has become a widely used technique to interrogate gene expression and cell fate, both in small and large animal models of research. Recent developments include the generation of improved luciferase-luciferin systems for deeper and more sensitive imaging as well as new caged luciferins to report on enzymatic activity and other intracellular functions. Here, we critically evaluate the emerging tools for BL imaging aiming to provide the reader with an updated compendium of the latest developments (2018-2020) and their notable applications.

Abstract
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a newly developed noninvasive visual approach which facilitates the understanding of a plethora of biological processes in vitro and in vivo due to the high sensitivity, resolution and selectivity, low background signal, and the lack of external light excitation. BLI based on firefly luciferin-luciferase system has been widely used for the activity evaluation of tumor-specific enzymes, for the detection of diseases-related bioactive small molecules and metal ions, and for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases including the studies of drug transport, the research of immune response, and the evaluation of drug potency and tissue distribution. In this review, we highlight the recent achievements in luciferin derivatives with red-shifted emission spectra, mutant luciferase-luciferin pairs, and the diagnostic and therapeutic application of BLI based on firefly luciferin-luciferase system. The development and application of BLI will expand our knowledge of the occurrence and development of diseases and shed light on the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
Mercury ions are crucially harmful to ecosystem and human being due to their characters of bioaccumulation and difficulty of biochemical degradation. Therefore, development of mercury ion detection methods has attracted increasing interests recently. In this study, we successfully synthesized a hydroxyphenylbenzothiazole (HBT)-based fluorescent probe HBT-Hg in an extremely simple manner for mercuric ions detection. The spectral studies revealed that the probe HBT-Hg could react with Hg2+ selectively and sensitively in PBS buffer (10 mM, pH = 7.40), showing ratiometric fluorescent changes from blue to light green. The response mechanism of the probe HBT-Hg and Hg2+ was finally confirmed by HPLC analysis, viz., the probe HBT-Hg converted to its precursor compound 1. Finally, the probe HBT-Hg was successfully applied in monitoring Hg2+ in living A549 cells.

Abstract
In beetles, luciferase enzymes catalyse the conversion of chemical energy into light through bioluminescence. The principles of this process have become a fundamental biotechnological tool that revolutionized biological research. Different beetle species can emit different colours of light, despite using the same substrate and highly homologous luciferases. The chemical reasons for these different colours are hotly debated yet remain unresolved. This Review summarizes the structural, biochemical and spectrochemical data on beetle bioluminescence reported over the past three decades. We identify the factors that govern what colour is emitted by wild-type and mutant luciferases. This topic is controversial, but, in general, we note that green emission requires cationic residues in a specific position near the benzothiazole fragment of the emitting molecule, oxyluciferin. The commonly emitted green-yellow light can be readily changed to red by introducing a variety of individual and multiple mutations. However, complete switching of the emitted light from red to green has not been accomplished and the synergistic effects of combined mutations remain unexplored. The minor colour shifts produced by most known mutations could be important in establishing a 'mutational catalogue' to fine-tune emission of beetle luciferases, thereby expanding the scope of their applications.

Abstract
Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) is a universal selective indicator of mitochondrial function and is known to play a central role in many human pathologies, such as diabetes mellitus, cancer and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Here, we report the design, synthesis and several applications of mitochondria-activatable luciferin (MAL), a bioluminescent probe sensitive to ΔΨm, and partially to plasma membrane potential (ΔΨp), for non-invasive, longitudinal monitoring of ΔΨm in vitro and in vivo. We applied this new technology to evaluate the aging-related change of ΔΨm in mice and showed that nicotinamide riboside (NR) reverts aging-related mitochondrial depolarization, revealing another important aspect of the mechanism of action of this potent biomolecule. In addition, we demonstrated application of the MAL probe for studies of brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation and non-invasive in vivo assessment of ΔΨm in animal cancer models, opening exciting opportunities for understanding the underlying mechanisms and for discovery of effective treatments for many human pathologies.

Abstract
Lutein is a hydrophobic carotenoid with diverse bioactivities. For encapsulating the molecule in a novel method, we prepared two emulsions from xanthan and propylene glycol alginate at the ratios of 3:7 and 4:6. The instability index and particle size of the emulsions were determined using a stability analyzer and laser particle size analyzer. The influence of crystallization on the emulsions was observed under a polarizing microscope. The effects of centrifugal force and storage on the lutein emulsions were analyzed by measuring the changes in absorbance. The results showed that the emulsion fabricated by xanthan and propylene glycol alginate at the ratio of 4:6 was highly stable, and crystals were dispersed when xanthan and propylene glycol alginate existed. These results revealed that the hydrophobicity and absorption kinetics of emulsifiers would determine the stability of emulsion when the viscosity of emulsifiers reached a certain value, and the stability of emulsions would affect the stability of lutein in the emulsions.

Abstract
Biosensing is a rising analytical field for detection of biological indicators using transducing systems. Smart materials can response to external stimuli, and translate the stimuli from biological domains into signals that are readable and quantifiable. Smart materials, such as nanomaterials, photonic crystals and hydrogels have been widely used for biosensing purpose. In this review, we illustrate the incorporation of smart materials in biosensing systems, including the design of responsive materials, their responsive mechanism of biosensing, and their applications in detection of four types of common biomolecules (including glucose, nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes). In the end, we also illustrate the current challenges and prospective of using smart materials in biosensing research fields.

Abstract
Iminosydnones are able to quench two fluorophores when connected to their core structure. Bioorthogonal click and release reaction with cyclooctynes provokes significant fluorescence enhancement of the two products, allowing their tracking in cells.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Histologic diagnosis using biopsy samples of colorectal neoplasms is the most important step in determining the treatment methods, but these methods have limitations in accuracy and effectiveness. Herein, we report a dual-recognition two-photon probe and its application in the discrimination between human colorectal neoplasms. The probe is composed of two monosaccharides, d-glucosamine and β-d-galactopyranoside, in a fluorophore for the monitoring of both glucose uptake and β-gal hydrolysis. In vitro/cell imaging studies revealed the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of the probe for glucose transporter-mediated glucose uptake and β-gal activity. Cancer-specific uptake was monitored by increased fluorescence intensity, and additional screening of cancer cells was achieved by changes in emission ratio owing to the higher activity of β-gal. Using human colon tissues and two-photon microscopy, we found that the plot of intensity versus ratio can accurately discriminate between colorectal neoplasms in the order of cancer progression (normal, adenoma, and carcinoma).
