[PMID: 38692102 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), the single-electron reduction product of nitric oxide (NO), has attracted great interest in the treatment of congestive heart failure in clinical trials. In this paper, we describe the first coumarin-based compound N-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-6-sulfonamide (CD1) as a dualfunctional HNO donor, which can release both an HNO signaling molecule and a fluorescent reporter. Under physiological conditions (pH 7.4 and 37 °C), the CD1 HNO donor can readily decompose with a half-life of ∼90 min. The corresponding stoichiometry HNO from the CD1 donor was confirmed using both Vitamin B12 and phosphine compound traps. In addition to HNO releasing, specifically, the degradation product 2-oxo-2H-chromene-6-sulfinate (CS1) was generated as a fluorescent marker during the decomposition. Therefore, the HNO amount released in situ can be accurately monitored through fluorescence generation. As compared to the CD1 donor, the fluorescence intensity increased by about 4.9-fold. The concentration limit of detection of HNO releasing was determined to be ∼0.13 μM according to the fluorescence generation of CS1 at physiological conditions. Moreover, the bioimaging of the CD1 donor was demonstrated in the cell culture of HeLa cells, where the intracellular fluorescence signals were observed, inferring the site of HNO release. Finally, we anticipate that this novel coumarin-based CD1 donor opens a new platform for exploring the biology of HNO.

Abstract
A range of novel BODIPY derivatives with a tripodal aromatic core was synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. These new fluorophores showed promising features as probes for in vitro assays in live cells and offer strategic routes for further functionalization towards hybrid nanomaterials. Incorporation of biotin tags facilitated proof-of-concept access to targeted bioconjugates as molecular probes. Computational explorations using DFT and TD-DFT calculations identified the most stable tripodal linker conformations and predicted their absorption and emission behavior. The uptake and speciation of these molecules in living prostate cancer cells was imaged by single- and two-photon excitation techniques coupled with two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging (2P FLIM).

Abstract
Chemical reagents with special groups as enrichable handles have empowered the ability to label and enrich modified peptides. Here is an overview of different chemical reagents with affinity tags to isolate labeled peptides and the latest developments of enrichment strategies. Biotin is the most used affinity tag due to its high interaction with avidin. To decrease the unfavorable influence of biotin for its poor efficiency in ionization and fragmentation in downstream MS analysis, cleavable moieties were installed between the reactive groups and biotin to release labeled peptides from the biotin. To minimize the steric hindrance of biotin, a two-step method was developed, for which alkyne- or azide-tagged linkers were firstly used to label peptides and then biotin was installed through click chemistry. Recently, new linkers using a small phosphonic acid as the affinity tag for IMAC or TiO2 enrichment have been developed and successfully used to isolate chemically labeled peptides in XL-MS. A stable P-C instead of P-O bond was introduced to linkers to differentiate labeled and endogenous phosphopeptides. Furthermore, a membrane-permeable phosphonate-containing reagent was reported, which facilitated the study of living systems. Taking a cue from classic chemical reactions, stable metal-complex intermediates, including cobalt and palladium complexes, have been developed as peptide purification systems. Advanced enrichment strategies have also been proposed, such as the two-stage IMAC enrichment method and biotin-based two-step reaction strategy, allowing the reduction of unwanted peptides and improvements for the analysis of specific labeled peptides. Finally, future trends in the area are briefly discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, we developed a sensitive, label-free and facile fluorescent strategy for detecting streptavidin (SA) based on double-hairpin DNA-templated copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and terminal protection of small molecule-linked DNA. Herein, a special DNA hairpin probe was designed and synthesized, which contained two poly T single-stranded loops and a nick point in the middle of the stem. Inspired by the concept of the terminal protection interaction, the specific binding of SA to the biotinylated DNA probe can prevent the exonuclease degradation and keep the integrity of DNA probe, which can be used for synthesizing fluorescent CuNPs as a template. Conversely, the DNA probe would be digested by exonucleases and therefore, would fail to form CuNPs without SA. After systematic optimization, the detection range of SA concentration is from 0.5 to 150 nM with a low detection limit of 0.09 nM. Additionally, the proposed method was also successfully applied in the biological samples. Finally, the proposed method is sensitive, effective and simple, and can be potentially applied for predicting diseases and discovering new drugs.

Abstract
The general tool of fluorescent PET (photoinduced electron transfer) sensors/switches - a molecular design principle with engineering features - is outlined, with the aid of frontier orbital energy diagrams. Fluorophores such as anthracene, 1,3-diaryl-Δ2 -pyrazolines and 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimides are employed within this system, alongside receptors such as amines, carboxylates, crown ethers and amino acids. This tool appealed to a multinational corporation for building a medical analyzer for electrolytes such as Na+ , K+ , Ca2+ and gases like CO2 , which became a commercially successful application. Finally, the tool was a springboard for chemistry to cross into computer science. The field of molecular logic can elucidate how molecules inside us handle information. Molecular examples of the simplest logic gates such as YES, NOT, OR, AND are described. A case of a human-level computation - visual edge detection - is also included.

Abstract
Coumarins are a very large family of compounds containing the unique 2H-chromen-2-one motif, as it is known according to IUPAC nomenclature. Coumarin derivatives are widely found in nature, especially in plants and are constituents of several essential oils. Up to now, thousands of coumarin derivatives have been isolated from nature or produced by chemists. More recently, the coumarin platform has been widely adopted in the design of small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors because of its excellent biocompatibility, strong and stable fluorescence emission, and good structural flexibility. This scaffold has found wide applications in the development of fluorescent chemosensors in the fields of molecular recognition, molecular imaging, bioorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, as well as in the biology and medical science communities. This review focuses on the important progress of coumarin-based small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors during the period of 2012-2018. This comprehensive and critical review may facilitate the development of more powerful fluorescent chemosensors for broad and exciting applications in the future.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific visualization of cell surface biotin receptors (BRs) a class of clinically important biomarkers, remains a challenge. In this work, a dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe is developed for specific imaging of cell surface avidin, a subtype of BRs. The nanoprobe comprises a dual-emission quantum dot nanohybrid, wherein a silica-encapsulated red-emitting QD (rQD@SiO2) is used as the "core" and green-emitting QDs (gQDs) are used as "satellites", which are further decorated with a new "love-hate"-type BR ligand, a phenanthroline-biotin conjugate with an amino linker. The nanoprobe shows intense rQD emission but quenched gQD emission by the BR ligand. Upon imaging, the rQD emission stays constant and the gQD emission is restored as cell surface avidin accrues. Accordingly, the overlaid fluorescence color collected from red and green emission changes from red to yellow and then to green. We refer to such a color change as a traffic light pattern and the nanoprobe as a fluorescent traffic light nanoprobe. We demonstrate the application of our fluorescent traffic light nanoprobe to characterize cancer cells. By the traffic light pattern, cervical carcinoma and normal cells, as well as different-type cancer cells including BR-negative colon cancer cells, BR-positive hepatoma carcinoma cells, breast cancer cells, and their subtypes, have been visually differentiated. We further demonstrate a use of our nanoprobe to distinguish the G2 phase from other stages in a cell cycle. These applications provide new insights into visualizing cell surface biomarkers with remarkable imaging resolution and accuracy.

Abstract
Biotin-conjugated multistimuli-responsive polysaccharide vesicular nanocarriers are designed and developed, for the first time, to accomplish receptor-mediated endocytosis in cancer cells and to deliver anticancer drugs to intracellular compartments. For this purpose, a new renewable hydrophobic unit was custom designed with redox-degradable disulfide and enzyme-biodegradable aliphatic ester chemical linkages, and it was conjugated along with biotin on the dextran backbone. The dextran derivative self-assembled into nanovesicles of <200 nm in size, which were characterized by dynamic and static light scattering, electron, and atomic force microscopes. Avidin-HABA assay established the high affinity of biotin-tagged dextran vesicles toward membrane-receptors up to 25 nM concentration. Doxorubicin-hydrochloride (DOX.HCl)-loaded dextran vesicles exhibited stable formulation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and fetal bovine serum (FBS). Redox-degradation by glutathione (GSH) showed 60% drug release, whereas lysosomal esterase enzyme enabled >98% drug release in 12 h. Confocal microscope and flow cytometry-assisted time-dependent cellular uptake studies revealed that the biotin-receptors overexpressed in cervical cancer cells (HeLa) exhibited larger drug accumulation through the receptor-assisted endocytosis process. This process enabled the delivery of higher amount of DOX and significantly enhanced the killing in cancer cells (HeLa) compared to wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (WT-MEF, normal cells). Control experiments such as biotin pretreatment in cancer cells and energy-suppressed cellular uptake at 4 °C further supported the occurrence of receptor-mediated endocytosis by the biotin-tagged polymer vesicles. This report provides first insights into the targeted polysaccharide vesicle platform, and the proof-of-concept is successfully demonstrated in biotin receptor-overexpressed cervical cancer cells.

Abstract
In order to improve the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT), biotin was axially conjugated with silicon(IV) phthalocyanine (SiPc) skeleton to develop a new tumor-targeting photosensitizer SiPc-biotin. The target compound SiPc-biotin showed much higher binding affinity toward BR-positive (biotin receptor overexpressed) HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells than its precursor SiPc-pip. However, when the biotin receptors of HeLa cells were blocked by free biotin, >50% uptake of SiPc-biotin was suppressed, demonstrating that SiPc-biotin could selectively accumulate in BR-positive cancer cells via the BR-mediated internalization. The confocal fluorescence images further confirmed the target binding ability of SiPc-biotin. As a consequence of specificity of SiPc-biotin toward BR-positive HeLa cells, the photodynamic effect was also largely dependent on the BR expression level of HeLa cells. The photodynamic activities of SiPc-biotin against HeLa cells were dramatically reduced when the biotin receptors were blocked by the free biotin (IC50: 0.18μM vs. 0.46μM). It is concluded that SiPc-biotin can selectively damage BR-positive cancer cells under irradiation. Furthermore, the dark toxicity of SiPc-biotin toward human normal liver cell lines LO2 was much lower than that of its precursor SiPc-pip. The targeting photodynamic activity and low dark toxicity suggest that SiPc-biotin is a promising photosensitizer for tumor-targeting photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
In this communication, we report a general strategy to create fluorescence switchable probes, where a small molecule ligand is conjugated to a fluorescent molecular rotor, for the selective detection of proteins through a non-enzymatic process. In the presence of target proteins, bond rotation of the molecular rotor is restricted, thereby triggering the emission of strong fluorescence.

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a general design to construct fluorescence-switching probes by using conjugates of a fluorescent molecular rotor and protein specific ligands for the selective protein detection and real-time tracking of protein degradation in living cells. Upon the interaction of the ligand with the protein ligand-binding domain, the crowded surroundings restrict the bond rotation of the fluorescent molecular rotor to trigger the emission of a strong fluorescence signal, which is reduced upon the addition of a competitive ligand or after protein degradation. With this probe design, two fluorescent probes for MGMT and hCAII proteins were constructed and applied for detecting the endogenous proteins in living cells. In addition, real-time degradation kinetics of the alkylated-MGMT at the single living cell level were revealed for the first time. We believe that this fluorescence-switching probe design can possibly be extended for the analysis of other proteins, for which there are still no effective tools to visualize them in living cells.

Abstract
Vicinal dithiol-containing proteins (VDPs) play a key role in cellular redox homeostasis and are responsible for many diseases. Here, we develop a red fluorescent light-up probe FAsH for the highly selective and sensitive detection of VDPs using the environment-sensitive 2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-7-diethylamino-1-benzopyrylium (F1) as the fluorescent reporter and cyclic dithiaarsane as the targeting unit. FAsH is almost nonfluorescent in aqueous solution. However, it exhibits intense fluorescence emission upon binding to reduced bovine serum albumin (rBSA, selected as the model protein). The fluorescence intensity of FAsH is directly proportional to the concentration of rBSA over the range of 0.06-0.9 μM, with a detection limit (3δ) of 0.015 μM. Importantly, the fast kinetics of binding between FAsH and VDPs (∼2.5 min) enables the dynamic tracing of VDPs in biological systems. Preliminary experiments show that FAsH can be used for the no-wash imaging of endogenous VDPs in living cells. In addition, our study shows that F1 presents both high environment-sensitivity and good fluorescence properties, and is promising for the development of no-wash fluorescent light-up probes for target-specific proteins in living cells.
