Recent progress and outlooks in rhodamine-based fluorescent probes for detection and imaging of reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species. Talanta 2024; 274:126004. [PMID: 38564824 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) serve as vital mediators essential for preserving intracellular redox homeostasis within the human body, thereby possessing significant implications across physiological and pathological domains. Nevertheless, deviations from normal levels of ROS, RNS, and RSS disturb redox homeostasis, leading to detrimental consequences that compromise bodily integrity. This disruption is closely linked to the onset of various human diseases, thereby posing a substantial threat to human health and survival. Small-molecule fluorescent probes exhibit considerable potential as analytical instruments for the monitoring of ROS, RNS, and RSS due to their exceptional sensitivity and selectivity, operational simplicity, non-invasiveness, localization capabilities, and ability to facilitate in situ optical signal generation for real-time dynamic analyte monitoring. Due to their distinctive transition from their spirocyclic form (non-fluorescent) to their ring-opened form (fluorescent), along with their exceptional light stability, broad wavelength range, high fluorescence quantum yield, and high extinction coefficient, rhodamine fluorophores have been extensively employed in the development of fluorescent probes. This review primarily concentrates on the investigation of fluorescent probes utilizing rhodamine dyes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection from the perspective of different response groups since 2016. The scope of this review encompasses the design of probe structures, elucidation of response mechanisms, and exploration of biological applications.

[PMID: 38391461 PMCID: PMC10887952 DOI: 10.3390/gels10020131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
L-theanine (L-Th), a non-protein amino acid naturally found in teas and certain plant leaves, has garnered considerable attention due to its health benefits and potential to modify proteins such as ginkgo seed proteins, which have poor gelling properties, thereby expanding their applications in the food industry. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of varying concentrations of L-Th (0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%) on the gelling properties of ginkgo seed protein isolate (GSPI) at various pH levels (5.0, 6.0, and 7.0). The GSPI gels exhibited the highest strength at a pH of 5.0 (132.1 ± 5.6 g), followed by a pH of 6.0 (95.9 ± 3.9 g), while a weak gel was formed at a pH of 7.0 (29.5 ± 0.2 g). The incorporation of L-Th increased the hardness (58.5-231.6%) and springiness (3.0-9.5%) of the GSPI gels at a pH of 7.0 in a concentration-dependent manner. However, L-Th did not enhance the gel strength or water holding capacity at a pH of 5.0. The rheological characteristics of the GSPI sols were found to be closely related to the textural properties of L-Th-incorporated gels. To understand the underlying mechanism of L-Th's effects, the physicochemical properties of the sols were analyzed. Specifically, L-Th promoted GSPI solubilization (up to 7.3%), reduced their hydrophobicity (up to 16.2%), reduced the particle size (up to 40.9%), and increased the ζ potential (up to 21%) of the sols. Overall, our findings suggest that L-Th holds promise as a functional ingredient for improving gel products.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) is a crucial endogenous signaling component in organisms that is involved in redox homeostasis and numerous biological processes. Modern medical research has confirmed that hydrogen sulfide plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Herein, a fluorescent probe Eu(ttbd)3 abt based on europium(III) complex was designed and synthesized for the detection of H2 S. Eu(ttbd)3 abt exhibited significant quenching for H2 S at long emission wavelength (625 nm), with rapid detection ability (less than 2 min), high sensitivity [limit of detection (LOD) = 0.41 μM], and massive Stokes shift (300 nm). Additionally, this probe showed superior selectivity for H2 S despite the presence of other possible interference species such as biothiols. Furthermore, the probe Eu(ttbd)3 abt was successfully applied to detect H2 S in water samples.

Abstract
Time-resolved techniques have been widely used in time-gated and luminescence lifetime imaging. However, traditional time-resolved systems require expensive lab equipment such as high-speed excitation sources and detectors or complicated mechanical choppers to achieve high repetition rates. Here, we present a cost-effective and miniaturized smartphone lifetime imaging system integrated with a pulsed ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) for 2D luminescence lifetime imaging using a videoscopy-based virtual chopper (V-chopper) mechanism combined with machine learning. The V-chopper method generates a series of time-delayed images between excitation pulses and smartphone gating so that the luminescence lifetime can be measured at each pixel using a relatively low acquisition frame rate (e.g. 30 frames per second [fps]) without the need for excitation synchronization. Europium (Eu) complex dyes with different luminescent lifetimes ranging from microseconds to seconds were used to demonstrate and evaluate the principle of V-chopper on a 3D-printed smartphone microscopy platform. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model was developed to automatically distinguish the gated images in different decay cycles with an accuracy of >99.5%. The current smartphone V-chopper system can detect lifetime down to ∼75 µs utilizing the default phase shift between the smartphone video rate and excitation pulses and in principle can detect much shorter lifetimes by accurately programming the time delay. This V-chopper methodology has eliminated the need for the expensive and complicated instruments used in traditional time-resolved detection and can greatly expand the applications of time-resolved lifetime technologies.

Abstract
Typical PeT-based fluorescent probes are multi-component systems where a fluorophore is connected to a recognition/activating group by an unconjugated linker. PeT-based fluorescent probes are powerful tools for cell imaging and disease diagnosis due to their low fluorescence background and significant fluorescence enhancement towards the target. This review provides research progress towards PeT-based fluorescent probes that target cell polarity, pH and biological species (reactive oxygen species, biothiols, biomacromolecules, etc.) over the last five years. In particular, we emphasise the molecular design strategies, mechanisms, and application of these probes. As such, this review aims to provide guidance and to enable researchers to develop new and improved PeT-based fluorescent probes, as well as promoting the use of PeT-based systems for sensing, imaging, and disease therapy.

Abstract
Engineering bacteria can achieve targeted and controllable cancer therapy using synthetic biology technology and the characteristics of tumor microenvironment. Besides, the accurate tumor diagnosis and visualization of the treatment process are also vital for bacterial therapy. In this paper, a light control engineered bacteria system based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP)-mediated time-resolved imaging (TRI) was constructed for colorectal cancer theranostic and therapy. UCNP with different luminous lifetimes were separately modified with the tumor targeting molecule (folic acid) or anaerobic bacteria (Nissle 1917, EcN) to realize the co-localization of tumor tissues, thus improving the diagnostic accuracy based on TRI. In addition, blue light was used to induce engineered bacteria (EcN-pDawn-φx174E/TRAIL) lysis and the release of tumor apoptosis-related inducing ligand (TRAIL), thus triggering tumor cell death. In vitro and in vivo results indicated that this system could achieve accurate tumor diagnosis and light-controlled cancer therapy. EcN-pDawn-φx174E/TRAIL with blue light irradiation could inhibit 53% of tumor growth in comparison to that without blue light irradiation (11.8%). We expect that this engineered bacteria system provides a new technology for intelligent bacterial therapy and the construction of cancer theranostics.

Abstract
With the development of modern biomedicine, biological analysis and detection are very important in disease diagnosis, detection of curative effect, prognosis and prediction of tumor recurrence. Compared with the currently widely used optical probes based on intensity signals, the lifetime signal does not depend on the influence of conditions such as the concentration of luminophore, tissue penetration depth and measurement method. Therefore, biological detection methods based on lifetime-based responsive probes have attracted great attention from the scientific community. Here, we briefly review the key advances in lifetime-based responsive probes in recent years (2017-2022). The review focuses on the design strategies of lifetime-based responsive probes and the research progress of their applications in the field of bioanalysis, and discusses the challenges they face. We hope it will further promote the development of lifetime-based responsive probes in the field of bioanalysis.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes that emit in the far-red (600-700 nm), first near-infrared (NIR-I, 700-900 nm), and second NIR (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) regions possess unique advantages, including low photodamage and deep penetration into biological samples. Notably, NIR-II optical imaging can achieve tissue penetration as deep as 5-20 mm, which is critical for biomedical sensing and clinical applications. Much research has focused on developing far-red to NIR-II dyes to meet the needs of modern biomedicine. Flavylium compounds are natural colorants found in many flowers and fruits. Flavylium-inspired dyes are ideal platforms for constructing fluorescent probes because of their far-red to NIR emissions, high quantum yields, high molar extinction coefficients, and good water solubilities. The synthetic and structural diversities of flavylium dyes also enable NIR-II probe development, which markedly advance the field of NIR-II in vivo imaging. In the last decade, there have been huge developments in flavylium-inspired dyes and their applications as far-red to NIR fluorescent probes for biomedical applications. In this review, we highlight the optical properties of representative flavylium dyes, design strategies, sensing mechanisms, and applications as fluorescent probes for detecting and visualizing important biomedical species and events. This review will prompt further research not only on flavylium dyes, but also into all far-red to NIR fluorophores and fluorescent probes. Moreover, this interest will hopefully spillover into applications related to complex biological systems and clinical treatments, ranging in focus from the sub-organelle to whole-animal levels.

Abstract
Optical imaging is an indispensable tool in clinical diagnostics and fundamental biomedical research. Autofluorescence-free optical imaging, which eliminates real-time optical excitation to minimize background noise, enables clear visualization of biological architecture and physiopathological events deep within living subjects. Molecular probes especially developed for autofluorescence-free optical imaging have been proven to remarkably improve the imaging sensitivity, penetration depth, target specificity, and multiplexing capability. In this Review, we focus on the advancements of autofluorescence-free molecular probes through the lens of particular molecular or photophysical mechanisms that produce long-lasting luminescence after the cessation of light excitation. The versatile design strategies of these molecular probes are discussed along with a broad range of biological applications. Finally, challenges and perspectives are discussed to further advance the next-generation autofluorescence-free molecular probes for in vivo imaging and in vitro biosensors.

Abstract
Biochemical sensing probes based on aggregation-induced-emission luminogens (AIEgens) are widely used in biological imaging and therapy, chemical sensing, and material sciences. However, it is still a great challenge to quantify the targets through fluorescence intensity of AIEgen probes due to their undesirable aggregations. Here, a PyTPA-ZGO probe with three lifetime signals for precise quantification of furin is constructed: the lifetime signal 1 and signal 2 comes from AIEgen PyTPA-P (τPn ) and inorganic nanoparticles Zn2 GeO4 :Mn2+ -NH2 (τZn ), respectively, while the lifetime signal 3 is marked as the composite dual-lifetime signal (CDLSn , C D L S n = τ Z n τ P n ). In contrast, the fluorescence intensity signal of PyTPA-P shows defectively quantitative performance. Furthermore, it is found that the CDLSn exhibits higher significant differences than the two other lifetime signals (τPn and τZn ) thanks to its wide range between the maximum and minimum signal values and small standard deviation. Therefore, CDLSn is further used to accurately identify cell subtypes based on the specific concentration of furin in each subtype. The lifetime criterion can realize precise quantification, and it should be a promising direction of AIEgen-based quantitative analysis in the future.

Abstract
The integration of large surface area and high catalytic profiles of Cu-MOF and CuO nanoparticles is described toward electrochemical sensing of nitric oxide (NO) in a microfluidic platform. The CuO/Cu-MOF nanocomposite was prepared through hydrothermal method, and its formation was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The CuO/Cu-MOF nanostructured modified Au electrodes enabled electrocatalytic NO oxidation at 0.6 V vs. reference electrode, demonstrating linear response over a broad concentration range of 0.03-1 μM and 1-500 μM with a detection limit of 7.8 nM. The interference effect of organic molecules and common ions was negligible, and the sensing system demonstrated excellent stability. Finally, an electrochemical microfluidic NO sensor was developed to detect of NO released from cancer cells, which were stimulated by L-arginine. Furthermore, in the presence of Fe3+, the stressed cells produced more NO. This work offers considerable potential for its practical applications in clinical diagnostics through determination of chemical symptoms in microliter-volume biological samples. Electrochemical microfluidic NO sensor was developed for detection of NO released from cancer cells. This miniaturized device consumes less materials and provides the basis for greener analytical chemistry.

Abstract
Cellular metabolites play a crucial role in promoting and regulating cellular activities, but it has been difficult to monitor these cellular metabolites in living cells and in real time. Over the past decades, iterative development and improvements of fluorescent probes have been made, resulting in the effective monitoring of metabolites. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the use of fluorescent probes for tracking some key metabolites, such as adenosine triphosphate, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cyclic guanosine 5'-monophosphate, Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reactive oxygen species, sugar, carbon monoxide, and nitric oxide for both whole cell and subcellular imaging.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-based cancer therapy has attracted much attention in recent years owing to its broad effects on cancer. Low concentrations of NO stimulate cancer cell progression, while its higher levels induce cell apoptosis, and thus, it has motivated the development of probes for in situ NO release monitoring. In this work, a galactose-modified benzothiadiazole-based fluorescent probe (GalNONP/C) was synthesized as both a NO-responsive nanoprobe and NO prodrug carrier. The probe exhibited far-red emission in the range from 550 to 800 nm, and the response showed acidity preference. The galactose on the probe enabled selective targeting of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells by binding to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on the cell surface. The probe also delivered low-molecular weight NO prodrug JS-K into cells and monitored the real-time release of the generated NO. Furthermore, in vivo NO imaging with tumor targeting was demonstrated in HCC orthotopic transplantation nude mice and liver sections. Compared with the control experiment using a probe without NO prodrug loading, higher fluorescence response of NO was detected in the cell (3.0 times) and liver slices of the HCC tumor model (2.7 times). This strategy may pave the way to develop nanoprobes for in situ NO monitoring and therapy evaluation in NO-related cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has a wide array of biological functions including the regulation of vascular tone, neurotransmission, immunomodulation, stimulation of proinflammatory cytokine expression and antimicrobial action. These functions may depend on the type of isoform that is responsible for the synthesis of NO. NO is found in various ocular tissues playing a pivotal role in physiological mechanisms, namely regulating vascular tone in the uvea, retinal blood circulation, aqueous humor dynamics, neurotransmission and phototransduction in retinal layers. Unregulated production of NO in ocular tissues may result in production of toxic superoxide free radicals that participate in ocular diseases such as endotoxin-induced uveitis, ischemic proliferative retinopathy and neurotoxicity of optic nerve head in glaucoma. However, the role of NO on the ocular surface in mediating physiology and pathophysiological processes is not fully understood. Moreover, methods used to measure levels of NO in the biological samples of the ocular surface are not well established due to its rapid oxidation. The purpose of this review is to highlight the role of NO in the physiology and pathophysiology of ocular surface and propose suitable techniques to measure NO levels in ocular surface tissues and tears. This will improve the understanding of NO's role in ocular surface biology and the development of new NO-based therapies to treat various ocular surface diseases. Further, this review summarizes the biochemistry underpinning NO's antimicrobial action.

Abstract
Development of fluorescent/luminescent probes for rapid, selective and sensitive detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is of great significance for understanding the roles of ROS in pathophysiological processes. In the present research, a visible-light-excitable Eu3+ complex-based probe, Eu(L)3(DPBT), is designed and synthesized for the time-gated luminescence (TGL) determination of hypochlorous acid (HClO) in vitro and in vivo. The proposed probe exhibits a rapid, selective and sensitive TGL response to HClO, and excellent localization of mitochondria in living cells with low cytotoxicity. These features allow the probe to be used for the TGL sensing and imaging of HClO formation in mimic inflammatory cells at a subcellular level, as well as in endotoxin-induced liver injury and rheumatoid arthritis in live mice. In addition, by immobilizing the probe in the PEG hydrogel, the smart sensor films with rapid response to HClO were prepared, and successfully used for the real-time monitoring of HClO generation in mouse wounds, in order to distinguish the infected wounds from acute ones. Overall, this study provides a useful tool for the clinical monitoring and treatment of wound diseases.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important gaseous signaling molecule related to various human diseases. To investigate the biological functions of NO, many strategies have been developed for real-time monitoring the NO levels in biological systems. Among these strategies, fluorescent probes are considered to be one of the most efficient and applicable methods owing to their excellent sensitivity and selectivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, noninvasiveness, and experimental convenience. Therefore, great efforts have been paid to the design, synthesis, and fluorescence investigation of novel NO fluorescent probes in the past several years. However, few of them exhibit practical applications owing to the low concentration, short half-life, and rapid diffusion characteristics of NO in biological systems. Rational design of NO fluorescent probes with excellent selectivity and sensitivity, low cytotoxicity, long-lived fluorescent emission, and low background interference is still a challenge for scientists all over the word. To provide spatial-temporal information, this article focuses on the progress made in the organic and metal complex-based NO fluorescent probes during the past five years. The key structural elements and sensing mechanisms of NO fluorescent probes are discussed. Some novel ratiometric, luminescence, and photoacoustic probes with low background interference and deep tissue penetrating ability are mentioned. All these probes have been used for imaging exogenous and endogenous NO in cells and animal models. More importantly, this article also describes the development of multi-functional NO fluorescent probes, such as organelle targeting probes, dual-analysis probes, and probe-drug conjugates, which will inspire the design of various functional fluorescent probes.

Abstract
The unique photophysical properties of lanthanides, such as europium, terbium, and ytterbium, make them versatile molecular probes of biological systems. In particular, their long-lived photoluminescence, narrow bandwidth emissions, and large Stokes shifts enable experiments that are infeasible with organic fluorophores and fluorescent proteins. The ability of these metal ions to undergo luminescence resonance energy transfer, and photon upconversion further expands the capabilities of lanthanide probes. In this review, we describe recent advances in the design of lanthanide luminophores and their application in biological research. We also summarize the latest detection systems that have been developed to fully exploit the optical properties of lanthanide luminophores. We conclude with a discussion of remaining challenges and new frontiers in lanthanide technologies. The unprecedented levels of sensitivity and multiplexing afforded by rare-earth elements illustrate how chemistry can enable new approaches in biology.

Abstract
The development of reliable bioanalytical probes for selective and sensitive detection of particular analytes in biological systems is essential for better understanding the roles of the analytes in their native contexts. In the last two decades, luminescent metal complexes have greatly contributed to the development of such probes for biosensing and imaging due to their unique spectral and temporal properties, controllable cell membrane permeability, and cytotoxicity. Conjugating an analyte-activatable moiety to the metal complex luminophores allows the production of responsive metal complex probes for this analyte detection. Owing to their long-lifetime emissions, the responsive metal complex probes are accessible to the technique of time-gated luminescence (TGL) detection and imaging. With a delay time after pulsed excitation, the TGL technique allows for collection of only long-lived luminescence from responsive metal complex probes, while filtering out short-lived background autofluorescence, providing a background-free approach for the detection and imaging of the analyte at subcellular and/or molecular levels. Responsive metal complex probes, therefore, have emerged as complementary sensing and imaging tools of organic dye-based fluorescent probes for the in situ detection of analytes in complicated biological environments.In this Account, we describe the advances in the development of metal complex probes and their applications for TGL bioassays with particular focus on our efforts made in this field. We first introduce the photophysical/-chemical properties of luminescent metal complexes, including lanthanide (europium and terbium) and transition metal (ruthenium and iridium) complexes. The luminescence lifetimes (τ) of lanthanide and transition metal complexes are at micro/millisecond (μs/ms) and hundreds/thousands nanosecond (ns) levels, respectively. The emission lifetimes are significantly longer than the autofluorescence lifetime (τ < 10 ns) of biological samples. Such long-lived luminescence of these metal complexes enables our research on demonstrating responsive probes for background-free TGL detection of some reactive biomolecules, such as reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and biothiols.We conclude this Account by outlining the future directions to further develop new generation responsive TGL probes for promoting their practical applications. The responsive TGL probes are expected to be translated for biomedical and/or (pre)clinical investigations of biomolecules in situ. Reversibility, lower toxicity, ability of excitation at longer wavelength, and potential to be translated are key criteria for the development of next-generation probes. We also anticipate that further development of responsive TGL probes will contribute to the bioassay in more challenging biological systems, such as plants that have significant higher background autofluorescence than animals.

The probes exhibited highly selective and sensitive recognition toward Cu2+ over other metal ions in acetonitrile/Tris-HCl buffer solution (2:98, v/v; pH 7.4). Detection limits were 0.4 μM for T1 and 4.50 μM for T2 based on fluorescence titration analysis. Furthermore, probe T1 was successfully applied in cell imaging experiments to monitor Cu2+ in cells.

Abstract
The use of luminescence in biological systems allows one to diagnose diseases and understand cellular processes. Molecular systems, particularly lanthanide(III) complexes, have emerged as an attractive system for application in cellular luminescence imaging due to their long emission lifetimes, high brightness, possibility of controlling the spectroscopic properties at the molecular level, and tailoring of the ligand structure that adds sensing and therapeutic capabilities. This review aims to provide a background in luminescence imaging and lanthanide spectroscopy and discuss selected examples from the recent literature on lanthanide(III) luminescent complexes in cellular luminescence imaging, published in the period 2016-2020. Finally, the challenges and future directions that are pointing for the development of compounds that are capable of executing multiple functions and the use of light in regions where tissues and cells have low absorption will be discussed.

Abstract
Time-resolved luminescence detection using long-lived probes with lifetimes in the microsecond region have shown great potential in ultrasensitive and multiplexed bioanalysis. In flow cytometry, however, the long lifetime poses a significant challenge to measure wherein the detection window is often too short to determine the decay characteristics. Here we report a time-resolved microfluidic flow cytometer (tr-mFCM) incorporating an acoustic-focusing chip, which allows slowing down of the flow while providing the same detection conditions for every target, achieving accurate lifetime measurement free of autofluorescence interference. Through configuration of the flow velocity and detection aperture with respect to the time-gating sequence, a multi-cycle luminescence decay profile is captured for every event under maximum excitation and detection efficiency. A custom fitting algorithm is then developed to resolve europium-stained polymer microspheres as well as leukemia cells against abundant fluorescent particles, achieving counting efficiency approaching 100% and lifetime CVs (coefficient of variation) around 2-6%. We further demonstrate lifetime-multiplexed detection of prostate and bladder cancer cells stained with different europium probes. Our acoustic-focusing tr-mFCM offers a practical technique for rapid screening of biofluidic samples containing multiple cell types, especially in resource-limited environments such as regional and/or underdeveloped areas as well as for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a fundamental signaling molecule that shows complex effects on the catabolic autophagy process, which is closely linked with lysosomal function. In this study, a new lysosome-targeted, pH-independent, and two-photon phosphorescent iridium(III) complex, Ir-BPDA, has been investigated for endogenous NO detection and imaging. The rational design of the probe, as the addition of the morpholine moieties and the substitution of a benzyl group in the amino group in Ir-BPDA, facilitates its accumulation in lysosomes and makes the reaction product with NO, Ir-BPDA-NO, insusceptible in its phosphorescence intensity and lifetime against pH changes (pH 4-10), well suited for lysosomal NO detection (pH 4-6). Furthermore, Ir-BPDA exhibits a fast and 50-fold response to NO in phosphorescence intensity and a two-photon cross-section as high as 60 GM after the reaction, as well as a notably increased phosphorescence lifetime from 200.1 to 619.6 ns. Thus, accompanied by its photostability, Ir-BPDA enabled the detection of NO in the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages and zebrafish model, revealing the endogenous lysosomal NO distribution during inflammation in vivo by means of both TPM and PLIM imaging techniques.

Abstract
The dynamic fluctuations of bioactive species in living cells are associated with numerous physiological and pathological phenomena. The emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes has significantly facilitated our understanding on the biological functions of these species. This review describes the design, applications, challenges and potential directions of organelle-targeted bioactive species probes.
Bioactive species, including reactive oxygen species (ROS, including O2˙–, H2O2, HOCl, 1O2, ˙OH, HOBr, etc.), reactive nitrogen species (RNS, including ONOO–, NO, NO2, HNO, etc.), reactive sulfur species (RSS, including GSH, Hcy, Cys, H2S, H2Sn, SO2 derivatives, etc.), ATP, HCHO, CO and so on, are a highly important category of molecules in living cells. The dynamic fluctuations of these molecules in subcellular microenvironments determine cellular homeostasis, signal conduction, immunity and metabolism. However, their abnormal expressions can cause disorders which are associated with diverse major diseases. Monitoring bioactive molecules in subcellular structures is therefore critical for bioanalysis and related drug discovery. With the emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes, significant progress has been made in subcellular imaging. Among the developed subcellular localization fluorescent tools, ROS, RNS and RSS (RONSS) probes are highly attractive, owing to their potential for revealing the physiological and pathological functions of these highly reactive, interactive and interconvertible molecules during diverse biological events, which are rather significant for advancing our understanding of different life phenomena and exploring new technologies for life regulation. This review mainly illustrates the design principles, detection mechanisms, current challenges, and potential future directions of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes toward RONSS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurokine signaling via the release of neurally active cytokines arises from glial reactivity and is mechanistically implicated in central nervous system (CNS) pathologies such as chronic pain, trauma, neurodegenerative diseases, and complex psychiatric illnesses. Despite significant advancements in the methodologies used to conjugate, incorporate, and visualize fluorescent molecules, imaging of rare yet high potency events within the CNS is restricted by the low signal to noise ratio experienced within the CNS. The brain and spinal cord have high cellular autofluorescence, making the imaging of critical neurokine signaling and permissive transcriptional cellular events unreliable and difficult in many cases. METHODS In this manuscript, we developed a method for background-free imaging of the transcriptional events that precede neurokine signaling using targeted mRNA transcripts labeled with luminescent lanthanide chelates and imaged via time-gated microscopy. To provide examples of the usefulness this method can offer to the field, the mRNA expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was visualized with traditional fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) or luminescent lanthanide chelate-based in situ hybridization (LISH) in mouse BV2 microglia or J774 macrophage phenotype cells following lipopolysaccharide stimulation. TLR4 mRNA staining using LISH- and FISH-based methods was also visualized in fixed spinal cord tissues from BALB/c mice with a chronic constriction model of neuropathic pain or a surgical sham model in order to demonstrate the application of this new methodology in CNS tissue samples. RESULTS Significant increases in TLR4 mRNA expression and autofluorescence were visualized over time in mouse BV2 microglia or mouse J774 macrophage phenotype cells following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. When imaged in a background-free environment with LISH-based detection and time-gated microscopy, increased TLR4 mRNA was observed in BV2 microglia cells 4 h following LPS stimulation, which returned to near baseline levels by 24 h. Background-free imaging of mouse spinal cord tissues with LISH-based detection and time-gated microscopy demonstrated a high degree of regional TLR4 mRNA expression in BALB/c mice with a chronic constriction model of neuropathic pain compared to the surgical sham model. CONCLUSIONS Advantages offered by adopting this novel methodology for visualizing neurokine signaling with time-gated microscopy compared to traditional fluorescent microscopy are provided.

Abstract
As a critical gasotransmitter, carbon monoxide (CO) has been demonstrated to be related with mitochondrial respiration, but the monitoring of CO in mitochondria remains a great challenge. In this work, a unique ratiometric time-gated luminescence (TGL) probe, Mito-NBTTA-Tb3+/Eu3+, that can specifically respond to mitochondrial CO has been developed. The probe was designed by incorporating a mitochondria-targeting moiety, triphenylphosphonium, into a CO-activatable terpyridine polyacid derivative, 4'-(4-nitrobenzyloxy-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-6,6''-diyl) bis(methylenenitrilo) tetrakis(acetic acid), for coordinating to Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions to construct lanthanide complex-based probe for ratiometric TGL detection of CO. Upon reaction with CO, accompanied by the conversion of nitro group to amino group, a 1,6-rearrangement-elimination reaction occurs, which leads to the cleavage of 4-nitrobenzyl group from Mito-NBTTA-Tb3+/Eu3+, resulting in the significant increase of Tb3+ emission at 540 nm and moderate decrease of Eu3+ emission at 610 nm. After the reaction, the I540/ I610 ratio was found to be 48-fold enhanced. This feature allowed Mito-NBTTA-Tb3+/Eu3+ to be employed as a ratiometric TGL probe for CO detection with the I540/ I610 ratio as a signal. In addition, the probe showed outstanding mitochondria-localization characteristic, which enabled the probe to be successfully applied to imaging CO within mitochondria of living cells under TGL and ratiometric modes. The application of Mito-NBTTA-Tb3+/Eu3+ was demonstrated by the visualization and quantitative detection of exogenous and endogenous CO in living cells and mouse liver tissue slices, as well as in living Daphnia magna and mice. All of the results suggested the potential of Mito-NBTTA-Tb3+/Eu3+ for the quantitative monitoring of CO in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Dispersion promotion of nanomaterials can significantly enhance their catalytic activities. With a new DNA-templated in situ synthesis approach, we report the preparation of highly dispersed AuNPs on nitrogen-doped graphene sheets (NGS) with significantly improved electrocatalytic ability for the monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) released from live cancer cells. The template DNA is adsorbed on NGS via π-π stacking, and the Au precursor chelates along the DNA lattice through dative bonding. Subsequent introduction of the reducing agent leads to in situ nucleation and growth of AuNPs, eventually resulting in highly dispersed AuNPs on NGS. Because of the synergistic enhancement of the catalytic activities of AuNPs and NGS, as well as the high dispersion of AuNPs, such a nanocomposite shows significant electro-oxidation capability toward NO, leading to a highly sensitive subnanomolar detection limit for NO in vitro. More importantly, the laminin glycoproteins can be readily adsorbed on the surface of the nanomaterials to render excellent biocompatibility for the adhesion and proliferation of live cells, enabling the biointerface for electrochemical detection of NO released from live cancer cells.

Abstract
We isolated a coordination polymer with the formula [Eu3(3,5-dcba)9(H2O)(dmf)3]·2dmf, with three unique EuIII coordination sites in the asymmetric unit, with the EuIII ions bridged by 3,5-dichlorobenzoato (3,5-dcba) ligands. The coordination polymer crystallized in the triclinic space group P1̅ with unit cell dimensions a = 12.4899(15), b = 16.326(2), and c = 25.059(3) Å, α = 84.271(3)°, β = 84.832(3)°, and γ = 68.585(3)° and V = 4725.2(10) Å3. The characteristic 5D0 → 7F J ( J = 0-4) EuIII transitions were observed upon ligand-centered excitation. Emission lifetimes of 0.825 ± 0.085 and 1.586 ± 0.057 ms were observed and were attributed to the sites with coordination of water or dimethylformamide (dmf) molecules to each ion, respectively. Through a combination of spectroscopy and calculations, we determined the photophysical properties of each unique EuIII site. Energy-transfer rates ligand → EuIII were determined for each unique site using the overlapped polyhedra method. The rates depend on the coordinated water molecules and the different donor-acceptor distances. The two sites without coordinated water molecules and shortest donor-acceptor distance display the fastest energy-transfer rate ligand → EuIII, whereas the site with coordinated water molecules and longest donor-acceptor distance displays the slowest energy-transfer rate. Donor-acceptor distances were estimated computationally and were confirmed by calculating the frontier orbitals in the asymmetric units of the polymer using density functional theory.

Abstract
The investigation and development of advanced multifunctional and sensitive sensors with high luminescent quantum yield and the capability of detecting different analytes, such as metal ions, is imperative. Due to its inherent properties the lanthanide coordination complex is one candidate for sensing applications, particularly for multifunctional sensors. Herein, we present two series of alkali ion decorated lanthanide coordination polymers (Ln-CPs), which show ultrahigh luminescence quantum yields (QYs) of 77% (1a) and 92% (2a). To the best of our knowledge, 1a represents the first trifunctional lanthanide complex sensor that can simultaneous detect and discriminate three different analytes, namely H+/Cd2+/Cr3+ through a multimode optical response. Furthermore, the limit of detection (LOD) for Cr3+ is an ultralow value of 2.0 × 10-9 M with a sensing time of 2 h, which is comparable to the most sensitive Cr3+ chemosensor. More interestingly, 92% (2a) is an unprecedented luminescence QY among the reported lanthanide coordination complexes.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a vital gaseous signal molecule and plays an important role in diverse physiological and pathological processes including regulation of vascular functions. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is caused by the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded protein in the ER. Besides, ER stress induced by NO can be involved in the pathogenesis of various vascular diseases. Unfortunately, to the best of our knowledge, no ER-targeting probe for NO is reported to study the relationship between ER stress and the level of NO in a biological system. Herein, an ER-targeted fluorescent probe named ER-Nap-NO for imaging of NO is designed and synthesized. ER-Nap-NO consists of three main parts: naphthalimide (two-photon fluorophore), o-phenylenediamino (NO recognition group), and methyl sulfonamide (ER-targetable group). The probe itself is nonfluorescent because a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process exists. After the addition of NO, the PET process is inhibited and thus strong fluorescence is released. Moreover, the response mechanism is confirmed by 1H NMR and mass spectra and DFT calculation in detail. In addition, from the experimental results, we can conclude that the probe displays several obvious advantages including high sensitivity, selectivity, and ER-targetable ability. Based on these excellent properties, the probe is used for the two-photon imaging of exogenous and endogenous NO in ER of living cells. Most importantly, the ER-targetable probe has potential capability as a tool for investigating the level of NO during tunicamycin-induced ER stress in cells and tissues, which is beneficial for revealing the role of NO in ER-associated vascular diseases.

Abstract
A rhodamine-based fluorescent probe for Cu2+ and ATP has been designed. The fluorescence intensity/absorbance was significantly enhanced upon the addition of Cu2+ owning to the opening of the spiro-ring of rhodamine, which quickly returned to the original level due to the reconstruction of the probe by the reacting with ATP. Cu2+/ATP-induced fluorescent intensity/aborbance changes showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of Cu2+/ATP in the range of 2-20 μM/0-10 μM with a detection limit of 0.1 μM/1.0 μM. The proposed method is simple in design and fast in operation, and is suitable for the reversible monitoring of Cu2+ and ATP in bioanalytical applications.

Abstract
Ferroptosis as an emerging mechanism has become a research hotspot for killing cancer cells. In this work, a novel ferroptosis agent, FePt-PTTA-Eu3+-FA (FPEF), was rationally designed by harnessing the luminescent lanthanide complexes PTTA-Eu3+ and folic acid (FA) in FePt nanoparticles. FePt-Based nanomaterials have potential applications in magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography (MRI/CT) in clinical diagnosis and have excellent capacity to induce cancer cell death. Mechanistic studies of FPEP showed that the FePt induced cancer cell death was affirmed as the ferroptosis mechanism. To the best of our knowledge, it will be the first report that proves the existence of the ferroptosis process in FePt NPs. The in vitro tests of FPEF demonstrated that the as-prepared NPs exhibit a satisfactory anticancer effect towards FA-positive tumor cells including 4T1, MCF-7 and HeLa cells. The in vivo studies using tumor-bearing balb/c mice revealed that the FPEF NPs could significantly inhibit tumor progression. Such all-in-one therapeutic strategies have great potential in early diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
In this work, manganese(II)-doped zinc/germanium oxide nanoparticles (Mn@ZGNPs) have been hydrothermally synthesized to equip with appealing time-resolved luminescence (TRL). Interestingly, we reveal that they can be readily quenched ("turn off") via a facile surface coating with bioinspired polydopamine (PDA) polymerized from dopamine (DA), resulting from PDA-triggered TRL resonance energy transfer (TRL-RET). By integrated with the thiol-induced inhibition of PDA formation, an ingenious inorganic-organic hybrid tongue-mimic sensor array is thus unveiled for noninvasive pattern recognition of thiols in biofluids in a TRL-RET-reversed "turn on" format toward healthcare monitoring. The sensing principle is based on the new finding that there are differential inhibitions from thiols against the polymerization of DA with various concentrations. Furthermore, density function theory (DFT) studies excellently prove our sensing principle and experimental results, reinforcing the power of the presented system. More importantly, chiral recognition of varied concentrations and mixtures of cysteine enantiomers using our platform are also been demonstrated, promising its practical usage. This is a novel concept of inorganic-organic hybrid-based pattern and chiral recognition platform for TRL background-free sensing and would sprout more novel relevant strategies toward broader applications.
