Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are small reactive molecules derived from elements in the air─oxygen and nitrogen. They are produced in biological systems to mediate fundamental aspects of cellular signaling but must be very tightly balanced to prevent indiscriminate damage to biological molecules. Small molecule probes can transmute the specific nature of each reactive oxygen and nitrogen species into an observable luminescent signal (or even an acoustic wave) to offer sensitive and selective imaging in living cells and whole animals. This review focuses specifically on small molecule probes for superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite that provide a luminescent or photoacoustic signal. Important background information on general photophysical phenomena, common probe designs, mechanisms, and imaging modalities will be provided, and then, probes for each analyte will be thoroughly evaluated. A discussion of the successes of the field will be presented, followed by recommendations for improvement and a future outlook of emerging trends. Our objectives are to provide an informative, useful, and thorough field guide to small molecule probes for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well as important context to compare the ecosystem of chemistries and molecular scaffolds that has manifested within the field.

Abstract
UvrC is a subunit of excinuclease ABC, which mediates nucleotide excision repair (NER) in bacteria. Our previous studies showed that transposon Tn4531 insertion in the UvrC encoding gene Riean_1413 results in reduced biofilm formation by Riemerella anatipestifer strain CH3 and attenuates virulence of strain YZb1. In this study, whether R. anatipestifer UvrC has some biological functions other than NER was investigated. Firstly, the uvrC of R. anatipestifer strain Yb2 was in-frame deleted by homologous recombination, generating deletion mutant ΔuvrC, and its complemented strain cΔuvrC was constructed based on Escherichia coli - R. anatipestifer shuttle plasmid pRES. Compared to the wild-type (WT) R. anatipestifer strain Yb2, uvrC deleted mutant ΔuvrC significantly reduced biofilm formation, tolerance to H2O2- and HOCl-induced oxidative stress, iron utilization, and adhesion to and invasion of duck embryonic hepatocytes, but not its growth curve and proteolytic activity. In addition, animal experiments showed that the LD50 value of ΔuvrC in ducklings was about 13-fold higher than that of the WT, and the bacterial loads in ΔuvrC infected ducklings were significantly lower than those in Yb2-infected ducklings, indicating uvrC deletion in R. anatipestifer attenuated virulence. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that R. anatipestifer UvrC is required for iron utilization, biofilm formation, oxidative stress tolerance and virulence of strain Yb2, demonstrating multiple functions of UvrC.RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTSDeletion of uvrC in R. anatipestfer Yb2 significantly reduced its biofilm formation.uvrC deletion led to reduced tolerance to H2O2- and HOCl-induced oxidative stress.The iron utilization of uvrC deleted mutant was significantly reduced.The uvrC deletion in R. anatipestifer Yb2 attenuated its virulence.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2400883.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), as an indispensable signaling molecule in organisms, is one of the key members of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, in vivo, real-time dynamic near-infrared fluorescence imaging of HOCl levels in the 1400-1700 nm sub-window (NIR-IIb) remains a major challenge due to the lack of suitable detection methods. Herein, a general design of HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe is proposed by integrating NaLuF4Yb/Er@NaLuF4 downshift nanoparticles (DSNPs) and HOCl recognition/NIR-IIb emissive modulation unit of M2-xS (M = Cu, Co, Pb) nanodots for real-time monitoring of HOCl levels. The fluorescence modulation unit of M2-xS nanodots presents remarkably enhanced absorption than Yb sensitizer at 980 nm and greatly inhibits the NIR-IIb fluorescence emission via competitive absorption mechanism. While, the M2-xS nanodots are easily degraded after triggering by HOCl, resulting in HOCl responsive turn-on (≈ten folds) NIR-IIb emission at 1532 nm. More importantly, in vivo highly precise and specific monitoring of inflammatory with abnormal HOCl expression is successfully achieved. Thus, the explored competitive absorption mediated quenching-activation mechanism provides a new general strategy of designing HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe for highly specific and sensitive HOCl detection.

Abstract
Organic small-molecule fluorophores, characterized by flexible chemical structure and adjustable optical performance, have shown tremendous potential in biosensing. However, classical organic fluorophore motifs feature large overlap between excitation and emission spectra, leading to the requirement of advanced optical set up to filter desired signal, which limits their application in scenarios with simple settings. Here, a series of wavelength-tunable small-molecule fluorescent dyes (PTs) bearing simple organic moieties have been developed, which exhibit Stokes shift up to 262 nm, molar extinction coefficients ranged 30,000-100,000 M-1 cm-1, with quantum yields up to 54.8 %. Furthermore, these dyes were formulated into fluorescent nanoparticles (PT-NPs), and applied in lateral flow assay (LFA). Consequently, limit of detection for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein reached 20 fM with naked eye, a 100-fold improvement in sensitivity compared to the pM detection level for colloidal gold-based LFA. Besides, combined with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), the LFA system achieved the visualization of single copy level nucleic acid detection for monkeypox (Mpox).

Abstract
We have prepared a simple, universal and efficient coumarin-derived fluorescent probe (XDS1) to detecting HOCl. The experimental findings revealed that the introduction of HOCl produced an obvious quenching effect on the probe with high selectivity and sensitivity. The calculated limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 0.02 μM. Furthermore, an impressive response time of less than 10 s was observed when XDS1 detecting HOCl. Importantly, the probe XDS1 exhibited negligible cytotoxicity, thereby facilitating its application for imaging HOCl within biological environment. The probe XDS1 had been successfully used for specific detection in cells.

Abstract
Organic fluorescent materials (OFMs) play a crucial role in the development of biosensors, enabling the extraction of biochemical information within cells and organisms, extending to the human body. Concurrently, OFM biosensors contribute significantly to the progress of modern medical and biological research. However, the practical applications of OFM biosensors face challenges, including issues related to low resolution, dispersivity, and stability. To overcome these challenges, scientists have introduced interactive elements to enhance the order of OFMs. Highly-ordered assembled OFMs represent a novel material type applied to biosensors. In comparison to conventional fluorescent materials, highly-ordered assembled OFMs typically exhibit robust anti-diffusion properties, high imaging contrast, and excellent stability. This approach has emerged as a promising method for effectively tracking bio-signals, particularly in the non-invasive monitoring of chronic diseases. This review introduces several highly-ordered assembled OFMs used in biosensors and also discusses various interactions that are responsible for their assembly, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, dipole-dipole interaction, and ion electrostatic interaction. Furthermore, it delves into the various applications of these biosensors while addressing the drawbacks that currently limit their commercial application. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for designing high-performance, highly-ordered assembled OFM biosensors suitable for practical applications. Additionally, it sheds light on the evolving trends in OFM biosensors and their application fields, offering valuable insights into the future of this dynamic research area.

Abstract
Boron-containing compounds (BCC) have emerged as important pharmacophores. To date, five BCC drugs (including boronic acids and boroles) have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of cancer, infections, and atopic dermatitis, while some natural BCC are included in dietary supplements. Boron's Lewis acidity facilitates a mechanism of action via formation of reversible covalent bonds within the active site of target proteins. Boron has also been employed in the development of fluorophores, such as BODIPY for imaging, and in carboranes that are potential neutron capture therapy agents as well as novel agents in diagnostics and therapy. The utility of natural and synthetic BCC has become multifaceted, and the breadth of their applications continues to expand. This review covers the many uses and targets of boron in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
A series of BODIPY compounds with a methylphenol substituent at the meso-position and halogen atoms on the BODIPY core, or OCH3 or OAc substituents at the phenolic moiety was synthesized. Their spectral and photophysical properties and the photochemical reactivity upon irradiation in CH3OH were investigated. The molecules with the phenolic substituent at the meso-position undergo more efficient photo-methanolysis at the boron atom, while the introduction of the OCH3 group at the phenolic moiety changes the reaction selectivity towards the cleavage at the meso-position. The introduction of the halogen atoms into the BODIPY increases the photo-cleavage reaction efficiency, as well as the ability of the molecules to sensitize oxygen and form reactive oxygen species (ROS). The efficiency of the ROS formation was measured in comparison with that of tetraphenylporphyrin. The antiproliferative effect of BODIPY molecules was investigated against three human cancer cell lines MCF-7 (breast carcinoma), H460 (lung carcinoma), HCT116 (colon carcinoma), and two non-cancer cell lines, HEK293T (embryonic kindey) and HaCaT (keratinocytes), with the cells kept in the dark or irradiated with visible light. For most of the compounds a modest or no antiproliferative activity was observed for cells in the dark. However, when cells were irradiated, a dramatic increase in cytotoxicity was observed (more than 100-fold), with IC50 values in the submicromolar concentration range. The enhancement of the cytotoxic effect was explained by the formation of ROS, which was studied for cells in vitro. However, for some BODIPY compounds, the effects due to the formation of electrophilic species (carbocations and quinone methides, which react with biomolecules) cannot be disregarded. Confocal fluorescence microscopy images of H460 cells and HEK293T show that the compounds enter the cells and are retained in the cytoplasm and membranes of the various organelles. When the cells treated with the compounds are irradiated, photo-processes lead to cell death by apoptosis. The study performed is important because it provides bases for the development of novel photo-therapeutics capable of exerting photo-cytotoxic effects in both oxygenated and hypoxic cells.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that is primarily manifested as synovitis and polyarticular opacity and typically leads to serious joint damage and irreversible disability, thus adversely affecting locomotion ability and life quality. Consequently, good prognosis heavily relies on the early diagnosis and effective therapeutic monitoring of RA. Activatable fluorescent probes play vital roles in the detection and imaging of biomarkers for disease diagnosis and in vivo imaging. Herein, we review the fluorescent probes developed for the detection and imaging of RA biomarkers, namely reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (hypochlorous acid, peroxynitrite, hydroxyl radical, nitroxyl), pH, and cysteine, and address the related challenges and prospects to inspire the design of novel fluorescent probes and the improvement of their performance in RA studies.

Nat Commun 2023; 14:1843. [PMID: 37012267 PMCID: PMC10070396 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-37586-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
J-aggregation, an effective strategy to extend wavelength, has been considered as a promising method for constructing NIR-II fluorophores. However, due to weak intermolecular interactions, conventional J-aggregates are easily decomposed into monomers in the biological environment. Although adding external carriers could help conventional J-aggregates stabilize, such methods still suffer from high-concentration dependence and are unsuitable for activatable probes design. Besides, these carriers-assisted nanoparticles are risky of disassembly in lipophilic environment. Herein, by fusing the precipitated dye (HPQ) which has orderly self-assembly structure, onto simple hemi-cyanine conjugated system, we construct a series of activatable, high-stability NIR-II-J-aggregates which overcome conventional J-aggregates carrier's dependence and could in situ self-assembly in vivo. Further, we employ the NIR-II-J-aggregates probe HPQ-Zzh-B to achieve the long-term in situ imaging of tumor and precise tumor resection by NIR-II imaging navigation for reducing lung metastasis. We believe this strategy will advance the development of controllable NIR-II-J-aggregates and precise bioimaging in vivo.

Abstract
Cancer treatment modalities have gradually shifted from monotherapies to multimodal therapies. It is still a challenge to develop a synergistic chemo-phototherapy system with relieving tumor hypoxia, specific targeting, and real-time fluorescence tracking. In this study, we designed a multifunctional BODIPY derivative, FBD-M, for synergistic chemo-phototherapy against hypoxic tumors. FBD-M was composed of four parts: 1) The BODIPY fluorophore selected as a theranostic core, 2) A pentafluorobenzene group modified on meso-BODIPY to carry oxygen, 3) A morpholine group hooked to one side of BODIPY served as a lysosome-targeting unit for enhancing antitumor effect, and 4) An aromatic nitrogen mustard group introduced on other side of BODIPY to achieve chemotherapy. After introducing the morpholine and aromatic nitrogen mustard in BODIPY, the conjugate system of BODIPY was also expanded to realize near-infrared (NIR) phototherapy. Finally, FBD-M was obtained by a rational design, which possessed with NIR absorbance and emission, photosensitive activity, oxygen-carrying capability for relieving tumor hypoxia, high photothermal conversion efficiency, good photostability, lysosome targeting, low toxicity, and synergistic chemo-phototherapy against hypoxic tumors. FBD-M had been successfully applied for anticancer in vitro and in vivo. Our study demonstrates that FBD-M can serve as an ideal multifunctional theranostic agents.

Abstract
Fibrillar aggregates of the amyloid-β protein (Aβ) are the main component of the senile plaques found in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Development of probes allowing the noninvasive and high-fidelity mapping of Aβ plaques in vivo is critical for AD early detection, drug screening and biomedical research. QM-FN-SO3 (quinoline-malononitrile-thiophene-(dimethylamino)phenylsulfonate) is a near-infrared aggregation-induced-emission-active fluorescent probe capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and ultrasensitively lighting up Aβ plaques in living mice. Herein, we describe detailed procedures for the two-stage synthesis of QM-FN-SO3 and its applications for mapping Aβ plaques in brain tissues and living mice. Compared with commercial thioflavin (Th) derivatives ThT and ThS (the gold standard for detection of Aβ aggregates) and other reported Aβ plaque fluorescent probes, QM-FN-SO3 confers several advantages, such as long emission wavelength, large Stokes shift, ultrahigh sensitivity, good BBB penetrability and miscibility in aqueous biological media. The preparation of QM-FN-SO3 takes ~2 d, and the confocal imaging experiments for Aβ plaque visualization, including the preparation for mouse brain sections, take ~7 d. Notably, acquisition and analyses for in vivo visualization of Aβ plaques in mice can be completed within 1 h and require only a basic knowledge of spectroscopy and chemistry.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of cancer is an efficient strategy to prevent tumor progression and improve the survival rate of patients. However, to discovery of reliable tumor-specific biomarkers remains a great challenge. Leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) is a bifunctional zinc metalloenzyme with epoxide hydrolase activity and aminopeptidase activity, which plays important roles in allergic and inflammatory reactions and showed strong relevance with carcinoma progression. We thus sought to investigate the possibility of application LTA4H activity detection in cancer diagnosis. To achieve this, we herein develop an enzyme activated fluorescent probe for LTA4H activity sensing by incorporating the specific recognition unit of LTA4H with a red-emitting fluorophore. The acquired probe (named as ADMAB) showed high sensitivity and specificity toward LTA4H in vitro. By further application of ADMAB in living cells, significantly elevated LTA4H activity in cancer cell lines was observed when compared with normal cell lines and in vivo tracing A549 tumor in nude mice was also realized by ADMAB. Meanwhile, the wound-healing assay further revealed the importance of LTA4H in tumor metastasis. Moreover, the LTA4H activity in human serum sample was successfully detected by ADMAB and significantly elevated LTA4H activity in patients diagnosed with cancer was firstly found, which demonstrated ADMAB to be a useful tool for cancer diagnosis and LTA4H related biological study.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is of great importance in physiological and pathological processes, which is associated with various inflammation-related diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer. Ferroptosis can cause abnormal change of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria. Hypochlorous acid (HClO) acts as a typical ROS. Therefore, it is needed to study the relationship between mitochondrial morphology and HClO changes during ferroptosis at the subcellular level. To this end, a near-infrared-excitation/emission fluorescent probe, HD-Br-1, for rapid detection of mitochondrial HClO was developed based on the specific oxidative cleavage of the N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate moiety. The fluctuation in mitochondrial HClO content and the change in mitochondrial morphology during ferroptosis were monitored in real time by super-resolution imaging. In addition, HD-Br-1 was successfully applied to monitor exogenous and endogenous mitochondrial HClO during cell ferroptosis and visualize tumor to discriminate from healthy tissues. Therefore, we believe that HD-Br-1 could provide a valuable approach for the detection of mitochondrial HClO in cancer cells as well as for understanding the ferroptosis mechanism and early diagnosis of cancers associated with ferroptosis for future research.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a reactive substance that reacts with most biomolecules and is essential in physiological and pathological processes. Abnormally elevated HOCl levels may cause inflammation and other disease responses. To further understand its key role in inflammation, HOCl must be detected in situ. Here, we designed a hydroxytricyanopyrrole-based small-molecule fluorescent probe (HTCP-NTC) to monitor and identify trace amounts of HOCl in biological systems. In the presence of HOCl, HTCP-NTC released hydroxyl groups that emit strong fluorescence covering a wide wavelength range from the visible to near-infrared region owing to the resumption of the intramolecular charge transfer process. Additionally, HTCP-NTC demonstrated a 202-fold fluorescence enhancement accompanied by a large Stokes shift and a low detection limit (21.7 nM). Furthermore, HTCP-NTC provided a rapid response to HOCl within 18 s, allowing real-time monitoring of intracellular HOCl. HTCP-NTC exhibited rapid kinetics and biocompatibility, allowing effective monitoring of the exogenous and endogenous HOCl fluctuations in living cells. Finally, based on fluorescence imaging, HTCP-NTC is a potential method for understanding the relationship between inflammation and HOCl.

Abstract
The exploration of advanced probes for cancer diagnosis and treatment is of high importance in fundamental research and clinical practice. In comparison with the traditional "always-on" probes, the emerging activatable probes enjoy advantages in promoted accuracy for tumor theranostics by specifically releasing or activating fluorophores at the targeting sites. The main designing principle for these probes is to incorporate responsive groups that can specifically react with the biomarkers (e. g., enzymes) involved in tumorigenesis and progression, realizing the controlled activation in tumors. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the molecular design and biomedical application of enzyme-responsive organic fluorescent probes. Particularly, the fluorophores can be endowed with ability of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) to afford the photosensitizers, highlighting the potential of these probes in simultaneous tumor imaging and therapy with rational design. We hope that this review could inspire more research interests in the development of tumor-targeting theranostic probes for advanced biological studies.

Abstract
Malignant tumors have always been the biggest problem facing human survival, and a huge number of people die from cancer every year. Therefore, the identification and detection of malignant tumors have far-reaching significance for human survival and development. Some substances are abnormally expressed in tumors, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nitroreductase (NTR), pH, biothiols (GSH, Cys, Hcy), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen sulfide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and NADH. Consequently, it is of great value to diagnose and treat malignant tumors due to the identification and detection of these substances. Compared with traditional tumor detection methods, fluorescence imaging technology has the advantages of an inexpensive cost, fast detection and high sensitivity. Herein, we mainly introduce the research progress of fluorescent probes for identifying and detecting abnormally expressed substances in several tumors.

Spanning BODIPY fluorescence with self-assembled micellar clusters. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 216:112532.

Abstract
BODIPY dyes possess favorable optical properties for a variety of applications including in vivo and in vitro diagnostics. However, their utilization might be limited by their water insolubility and incompatibility with chemical modifications, resulting in low aggregation stability. Here, we outline the route for addressing this issue. We have demonstrated two approaches, based on dye entrapment in micellar coordination clusters (MCCs); this provides a general solution for water solubility as well as aggregation stability of the seven BODIPY derivatives. These derivatives have various bulky aromatic substituents in the 2,3,5,6- and meso-positions and can rotate relative to a dipyrrin core, which also provides molecular rotor properties. The molecular structural features and the presence of aromatic groups allows BODIPY dyes to be used as "supporting molecules", thus promoting micelle-micelle interaction and micellar network stabilization. In the second approach, self-micellization, following BODIPY use, leads to MCC formation without the use of any mediators, including chelators and/or metal ions. In both approaches, BODIPY exhibits an excellent optical response, at a concentration beyond its solubilization limit in aqueous media and without undesired crystallization. The suggested approaches represent systems used to encapsulate BODIPY in a capsule-based surfactant environment, enabling one to track the aggregation of BODIPY; these approaches represent an alternative system to study and apply BODIPY's molecular rotor properties. The stabilized compounds, i.e., the BODIPY-loaded MCCs, provide a unique feature of permeability to hydrophilic ligand-switching proteins such as BSA; they exhibit a bright "turn-on" fluorescence signal within the clusters via macromolecular complexation, thus expanding the possibilities of water-soluble BODIPY-loaded MCCs utilization for functional indicators.

Abstract
The ambiguous molecular mechanism remains a leading cause for the high mortality rate of liver cancer. An evident iron overload has been unveiled in liver cancer cell proliferation, which is closely related to oxidative stress. However oxidative stress-regulated chloride intracellular channel protein 1 (CLIC1) obviously increases in liver cancer cells. Cl- is also involved in cell proliferation, and its downstream product, HClO, can induce cell carcinoma when over-generated. However, whether iron overload could mediate the variation of intracellular Cl- and HClO is still uncharted. Herein, we present a dual-responsive fluorescence reporter MQFL-NH2 for simultaneously visualizing the fluctuation of Cl-/HClO at the same spot in living cells. Electrostatic binding to Cl- effectively gave an attenuated signal with blue fluorescence, and HClO induced a sharp green fluorescence. In HL-7702 cells stimulated with iron, the blue/green dual fluorescence of MQFL-NH2 displayed that Cl- and HClO were elevated. In contrast, they were both reduced in iron-removed SMMC-7721 cells. Further results revealed that iron overload could promote the levels of Cl- and HClO by up-regulating CLIC1 and myeloperoxidase. Altogether, the work will energetically contribute to grasp the molecular mechanism in iron overload-mediated pathogenesis of liver cancer.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that typically performs biphasic biological functions in organisms plays an opposite role at the concentrations above or below normal level of the organism. Therefore, it is significant to develop a fluorescent probe with high sensitivity and selectivity and rapid response for the detection of hydrogen sulfide in vivo. The work describes the design and biological applications of a novel turn-on fluorescence probe SS-N3 in which the quinoline quaternary ammonium salt derivative is introduced as the fluorescent skeleton and azide is employed as the detection group of H2S. The probe SS-N3 shows strong fluorescence at 610 nm, as the azide group is reduced to an amino group by H2S. The probe SS-N3 shows high selectivity to H2S than other anions and some biological mercaptans, and strong anti-interference capacity. In addition, the probe SS-N3 exhibits little cytotoxicity, improved photostability and large Stokes shift (135 nm), as well as can be effectively used as an indicator of H2S level in living cells.

Abstract
Understanding disease-related processes at the molecular level is of great importance for the prevention and treatment of diseases. However, due to the lack of effective analytical tools, it is challenging to gain insight into the relationships between a specific bioactive molecule and the associated disease. Herein, a rapid turn-on resorufin-based fluorescent probe platform utilizing the HClO-specific oxidative cleavage of the amide was constructed, allowing the visualization of HClO in vitro and in vivo. These probes could quickly respond to HClO (< 50 s) with high selectivity and sensitivity (12-153 nM). The probe REClO-6 had the fastest response (30 s) and the highest sensitivity (12 nM), and was successfully used for the imaging of endogenous and exogenous HClO in cells and zebrafish. Notably, it was also successfully applied to the imaging of HClO in mouse arthritis and solid tumors. This study provided a rapid imaging analysis tool, which would be used to investigate the relationship between HClO and the disease-related physiological processes.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is produced by white blood cells to defend against injury and bacteria. However, as one of the reactive oxygen species, high intracellular HClO concentration could lead to chronic diseases that affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems. To monitor HClO concentrations in bio-samples, the fluorescent probe is preferred to have: a) absorbability in the far-red window with reduced light-toxicity and improved tissue penetration depth, b) ratiometric feature for accurate analysis. In this study, we reported a far-red ratiometric HClO fluorescence probe based on BODIPY chromophore and aldoxime sensing group. Not only the color change of the probe solution can be detected by naked eyes, but also the emission ratios (I645/I670) showed a significant increase upon the introduction of HClO. More importantly, the feasibility of HClO monitoring in bio-samples was demonstrated in vitro using a confocal microscope.

Abstract
A flexible chemosensor has been developed based on colorimetric and fluorescent dual modes using tetraphenylethylene-centered tetraaniline (TPE4A) for rapid and sensitive detection of hypochlorite anion. The fluorescent probe TPE4A exhibits a unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) character which is proved by a blue shift of the fluorescent peak from 544 to 474 nm with the water equivalents increasing. With the addition of hypochlorite in solution, the absorbance of the probe changes and the responding fluorescence color can be observed to change from light green to purple. The detection limit of hypochlorite is 1.80 × 10-4 M in solution, and the visual detection limit is 1.27 µg/cm2 with the naked eye for the flexible paper-based chemosensor. The proposed flexible chemosensors show a good selectivity and sensitivity which has great potential for effective detection of hypochlorite anions without any spectroscopic instrumentation.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a pulmonary inflammatory disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, owing to the unknown etiology and rapid progression of the disease, the diagnosis of ALI is full of challenges with no effective treatment. Since the inflammatory response and oxidative stress played vital roles in the development of ALI, we herein developed the largest emission cross-shift (△λ = 145 nm) two-photon ratiometric fluorescent probe of TPRS-HOCl with high selectivity and short response time toward hypochlorous acid (HOCl) for exploring the relevance between the degree of ALI and HOCl concentration in the development process of the disease. In addition, the inhibition effect of HOCl during different treatment periods was also evaluated. Moreover, the tendency of imaging results was basically in accordance with that of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and the treatment effect became better in the early stage when using N-acetylcysteine (NAC), demonstrating the sensitivity of TPRS-HOCl toward ALI response. Thus, TPRS-HOCl has great potential to diagnose ALI in the early stage and guide for effective treatment.

Abstract
The development of a rapid and intuitive method for the detection of a specific small molecule biomarker is important for understanding the pathogenesis of relevant diseases. Described here is the design and evaluation of an HClO-specific triggered self-immolative fluorescent sensor (RESClO) based on the structure of an N-protected Resorufin dye. Due to the interrupted π-conjugated structure of the Resorufin dye, the free sensor showed very weak absorption and fluorescence. It can quickly complete the response to HClO (within 10 s) with high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 16.8 nM) in aqueous solution. The sensor can be made into test strips to quickly detect HClO in the environment by obvious changes in color and fluorescence. It was successfully used for bioimaging of exogenous and endogenous HClO in cells and zebra fish. More importantly, it can also be used for visual imaging of mouse arthritis models. Thus, sensor RESClO can provide a simple and promising visual analytical tool for the detection of HClO in the environment and the early diagnosis of HClO-mediated related diseases.

Abstract
Elevated HClO gets involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Herein, a novel fluorescent probe NUU-1 was designed and synthesized. Distinct from the general strategies, NUU-1 features two distinct HClO reactive sites, a HClO-specific reaction site and a HClO-nonspecific reactive site, which in turn endows NUU-1 with the "0 + 1 > 1" amplification effect, that thus dramatically promotes the selectivity. NUU-1 displayed a fast response rate (within 15 s), remarkable fluorescence enhancement (about 538-fold), and excellent sensitivity (LOD = 25.8 nM) in response to HClO while the remaining fluorescence silence toward other common ROS (H2O2, •OH, ONOO-, O2•-, and 1O2) even at high concentrations (up to 0.5 mM). NUU-1 allows for the imaging of both exogenous and endogenous HClO in living dopaminergic cells (SH-SY5Y). Moreover, by employing NUU-1 as the probe, the image of HClO in C. elegans and zebrafish was successfully achieved. Significantly, in the first trial, NUU-1 was successfully utilized for the brain basal HClO imaging in PD mice models and distinguished PD brain tissues from normal control, thereby holding great potential for in-depth biological applications.

Abstract
Background: Lipid droplets (LDs) establish a considerable number of contact sites with mitochondria to enable energy transfer and communication. In this study, we developed a fluorescent biosensor to image LD-mitochondria interactions at the nanoscale and further explored the function of LD-mediated matrix transmission in processes involving multi-organelle interactions. Methods: A fluorescent probe called C-Py (C21H19N3O2, 7-(diethylamino) coumarin-3-vinyl-4-pyridine acetonitrile) was designed and synthesized. Colocalization of C-Py and the commercial LD stain Nile Red was analyzed in HeLa cells. The fluorescence stability and signal to background ratio of C-Py under structured illumination microscopy (SIM) were compared to those of the commercial probe BODIPY493/503. The cytotoxicity of C-Py was assessed using CCK-8 assays. The uptake pattern of C-Py in HeLa cells was then observed under various temperatures, metabolic levels, and endocytosis levels. Contact sites between LDs and various organelles, such as mitochondria, nuclei, and cell membrane, were imaged and quantitated using SIM. Physical changes to the contact sites between LDs and mitochondria were monitored after lipopolysaccharide induction. Results: A LD-targeted fluorescent biosensor, C-Py, with good specificity, low background signal, excellent photostability, low cytotoxicity, and high cellular permeability was developed for tracking LD contact sites with multiple organelles using SIM. Using C-Py, the subcellular distribution and dynamic processes of LDs in living cells were observed under SIM. The formation of contact sites between LDs and multiple organelles was visualized at a resolution below ~200 nm. The number of LD-mitochondria contact sites formed was decreased by lipopolysaccharide treatment inducing an inflammatory environment. Conclusions: C-Py provides strategies for the design of ultra-highly selective biosensors and a new tool for investigating the role and regulation of LDs in living cells at the nanoscale.

Abstract
It is of vital importance to develop probes to monitor hypochlorous acid (HClO) in biological systems as HClO is associated with many important physiological and pathological processes. Metal nanoclusters (NCs) are promising luminescent nanomaterials for highly reactive oxygen species (hROS) detection on the basis of their strong reaction ability with hROS. However, metal NCs typically can respond to most common hROS and are susceptible to etching by biothiols, hindering their application in the construction of effective HClO probes. Herein, we proposed a strategy to develop a nanoprobe based on Au NCs for highly sensitive and selective detection of HClO. We synthesized luminescent benzyl mercaptan-stabilized Au NCs and encapsulated them with an amphiphilic polymer (DSPE-PEG). After encapsulation, an obvious emission enhancement and good resistance to the etching by biothiols for Au NCs were achieved. More importantly, the DSPE-PEG encapsulated Au NCs can be used as a nanoprobe for detection of HClO with good performance. The luminescence of the Au NCs was effectively and selectively quenched by HClO. A good linear relationship with the concentration of HClO in the range of 5–35 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 μM were obtained. Additionally, this nanoprobe was successfully used for bioimaging and monitoring of HClO changes in live cells, suggesting the application potential of the as-prepared amphiphilic polymer-encapsulated Au NCs for further HClO-related biomedical research. Amphiphilic polymer-encapsulated Au nanoclusters with enhanced emission and stability were synthesized and used for the sensitive and selective detection of hypochlorous acid.![]()

Abstract
Benzopyrylium-coumarin fluorescent probes for sensing hypochlorous acid (HClO) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) are unable to distinguish between HClO and SO2 because the two compounds can react with the 4-position of benzopyrylium-coumarin dyes through the nucleophilic attack. In the current work, we introduced a phenoxazine moiety to the benzopyrylium-coumarin dye to synthesize a new fluorescent probe PBC1, which can dually sense HClO and SO2 and generate distinct fluorescence signals with rapid response time and high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, probe PBC1 was also successfully utilized to detect intracellular HClO and SO2 in HeLa cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is an important signaling molecule for cell survival. However, it has been reported that excessive HOCl contributes to a variety of diseases such as cancers. And in cancer cells, the level of HOCl is much higher than that in normal cells. Here a coumarin-based fluorescent probe 7-Diethylamino-3-(2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidin-2-yl)-chromen-2-one (CAN) was successfully developed for HOCl detection. The probe could be oxidized by HOCl to induce significant change in its fluorescence profile, which made it feasible for ratiometric detecting HOCl. CAN (below 1 µM) did not affect cell viability and had good capacity in ratiometric detection of HOCl in RAW 264.7 cells. CAN induced A549 apoptosis and inhibited tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. And CAN could decrease the chlorination activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in A549. These findings suggested that CAN (below 1 µM) would develop into a HOCl probe. High activity of MPO and level of HOCl might be helpful for A549 survival. A549 could be induced apoptosis by reducing the HOCl level by CAN. It implies a new anticancer strategy by targeting HOCl.

Abstract
Nitro groups with a strong electron-withdrawing effect can powerfully influence the fluorescence of fluorophores. In this work, through adjusting the nitro group at the HBT fluorophore to construct a phenylhydrazone structure, two probes (HBTN and HBTH) were synthesized to detect OCl-. Consequently, HBTN with the nitro group quenched the fluorescence of HBT and HBTH without the nitro group causing a redshift of the fluorescence, which resulted in enhanced and ratiometric fluorescence signal changes during the detection process. Among them, HBTN shows good ability to selectively detect OCl- in the concentration range of 0-14 μM with the detection limit of 2.06 nM. Based on HBTN, a portable test strip for detecting OCl- was made for the convenient quantification of the OCl- concentration with a spectrophotometer, and exogenous and endogenous OCl- was successfully imaged in cells.

Abstract
In vivo monitoring of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumors during treatment with anticancer therapy is important for understanding the mechanism of action and in the design of new anticancer drugs. In this work, a platinized nanoelectrode is placed into a single cell for detection of the ROS signal, and drug-induced ROS production is then recorded. The main advantages of this method are the short incubation time with the drug and its high sensitivity which allows the detection of low intracellular ROS concentrations. We have shown that our new method can measure the ROS response to chemotherapy in tumor-bearing mice in real-time. ROS levels were measured in vivo inside the tumor at different depths in response to doxorubicin. This work provides an effective new approach for the measurement of intracellular ROS by platinized nanoelectrodes.

Peptide-capped functionalized Ag/Au bimetal nanoclusters with enhanced red fluorescence for lysosome-targeted imaging of hypochlorite in living cells. Talanta 2020; 216:120926. [PMID: 32456892 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.120926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2019] [Revised: 03/09/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Bioimaging probes for monitoring intracellular reactive oxygen species have important implications for cell biology research. Herein, we developed peptide-capped silver/gold nanoclusters (peptide@Ag/Au NCs) for lysosome-targeted imaging of hypochlorite (ClO-). The peptide@Ag/Au NCs were synthesized via a one-pot method using peptide as both a template and a reducing agent. The fluorescence intensity and absolute quantum yield of peptide@Ag/Au NCs were much higher than those of peptide-capped gold nanoclusters and silver nanoclusters. In the presence of ClO-, the fluorescence of peptide@Ag/Au NCs was quenched, accompanied by a redshift due to ClO--induced oxidation of the peptide ligand and decreased Ag content in Ag/Au NCs. The relative fluorescence intensity F0/F had favourable linearity for ClO- concentrations in the range 0.1-100 μmol/L (R2 = 0.9954), with a detection limit (LOD) of 80 nmol/L. The lysosome-targeted peptide@Ag/Au NCs were applied to detect ClO- in lysosomes in living cells via fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Etoposide is one of the most used first-line chemotherapeutic drugs. However, its application is still limited by its side effects. Herein, we designed a novel H2O2 sensitive prodrug 6YT for selectively releasing the anti-cancer drug etoposide in cancer cells. In this paper, etoposide and a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensitive aryl borate ester group were linked by a fluorescent coumarin and finally the prodrug 6YT was generated. The fluorescence of coumarin was quenched before the connected aryl borate ester group was cleaved by H2O2. However, in the high level H2O2 environment of the tumor, the fluorescence could be activated simultaneously with the release of etoposide, and the drug release state of the prodrug was monitored real-time. With the support of 6YT, we obtained direct and visual evidence of etoposide release in a high H2O2 environment both in cells and zebrafish. The prodrug 6YT was also verified with comparable activity and improved safety with etoposide both in cells and in a mouse model. As a safe and effective prodrug, 6YT is expected to be one of the promising candidates in chemotherapy against cancer.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent forms of dementia. The current diagnosis methods based on the behavior and cognitive decline or imaging of core biomarkers, namely, amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), in the brain offer poor to moderate success. Detection and imaging of biomarkers that cause additional traits of pathophysiological aberrations in the brain are invaluable to monitor early disease onset and progression of AD pathology. The pathological hallmark of AD is associated with generation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain, which aggravate oxidative stress and inflammation. ROS production involves elevated levels of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and can serve as one of the potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of AD. We report the design, synthesis, and characterization of switchable coumarin-morpholine (CM) conjugates as off-on fluorescence probes for the specific detection of HOCl produced and proximally localized with amyloid plaques. The nonfluorescent thioamide probe CM2 undergoes regioselective transformation to fluorescent amide probe CM1 in the presence of HOCl (∼90-fold fluorescence enhancement and 0.32 quantum yield) with high selectivity and sensitivity (detection limit: 0.17 μM). The excellent cellular uptake and blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing ability of CM2 allowed unambiguous and differential detection, imaging, and quantification of HOCl in cellular milieu and in the wild type (WT) and AD mouse brains. This study demonstrates the elevated level of HOCl in the AD mouse brain and the potential to expand the repertoire of biomarkers for the diagnosis of AD.

Abstract
The level of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in cancer cells is higher than that in non-cancer cells. HOCl is an essential signal for the regulation of cell fate and works mainly through the protein post-translational modifications in cancer cells. However, the mechanism of HOCl regulating autophagy has not been clarified. Here we reported that a HOCl probe named ZBM-H targeted endoplasmic reticulum and induced an intact autophagy flux in lung cancer cells. Furthermore, ZBM-H promoted the binding of GRP78 to AMPK and increased the phosphorylation of AMPK in a dose- and time-dependent manner. GRP78 knockdown inhibited ZBM-H-induced AMPK phosphorylation and ZBM-H-stimulated autophagy. In addition, mass spectrometry combined with point mutation experiments revealed that ZBM-H increased GRP78 activity by inhibiting HOCl-induced lysine 353 oxidation of GRP78. Following ZBM-H treatment in vitro and in vivo, cell growth was significantly inhibited while apoptosis was induced. Nevertheless, exogenous HOCl partially reversed ZBM-H-inhibited cell growth and ZBM-H-induced GRP78 activation. In brief, we found that an endoplasmic reticulum-targeted HOCl probe named ZBM-H, acting through attenuating HOCl-induced GRP78 oxidation, inhibited tumor cell survival by promoting autophagy and apoptosis. Overall, these data demonstrated a novel mechanism of hypochlorous acid regulating autophagy by promoting the oxidation modification of GRP78.

Abstract
Intracellular detection is highly desirable for biological research and clinical diagnosis, yet its quantitative analysis with noninvasivity, sensitivity, and accuracy remains challenging. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) dual-excitation strategy is reported for ratiometric intracellular detection through the design of dye-sensitized upconversion probes and employment of a purpose-built NIR dual-laser confocal microscope. NIR dye IR808, a recognizer of intracellular analyte hypochlorite, is introduced as energy donor and Yb,Er-doped NaGdF4 upconversion nanoparticles are adopted as energy acceptor in the as-designed nanoprobes. The efficient analyte-dependent energy transfer and low background luminescence endow the nanoprobes with ultrahigh sensitivity. In addition, with the nonanalyte-dependent upconversion luminescence (UCL) excited by 980 nm as a self-calibrated signal, the interference from environmental fluctuation can be alleviated. Furthermore, the dual 808/980 nm excited ratiometric UCL is demonstrated for the quantification of the level of intracellular hypochlorite. Particularly, the intrinsic hypochlorite with only nanomolar concentration in live MCF-7 cells in the absence of exogenous stimuli is determined. Such an NIR dual-excitation ratiometric strategy based on dye-sensitized UCL probes can be easily extended to detect various intracellular analytes through tailoring the reactive NIR dyes, which provides a promising tool for probing biochemical processes in live cells and diagnosing diseases.
