PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2025; 324:124957. [PMID: 39154401 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has a comprehensive contribution to the normal operation and stability of organisms and is also present in environmental water samples and food deterioration. Thus, it is exceedingly promising and significant to develop a highly sensitive detection technique for tracing H2S. Inspired by this, we designed and synthesized a new fluorescent probe 2-[3-[2-[3-bromo-4-(2,4- dinitrobenzenesulfonate)] ethenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ylidene]propanedinitrile (SP-Br) for hydrosulfide ion detection by introducing bromine atom. Compared with reported H2S probes based on the same fluorescent parent, SP-Br has longer fluorescence emission (λem = 670 nm), shorter response time (3 min), lower detection limit (149 nM), and wider detection range (0-30 nM). SP-Br can emit weak yellow fluorescence, and the emission intensity at 670 nm is considerably enhanced in the presence of hydrosulfide ions. The identification mechanism of hydrosulfide ion by SP-Br was verified by high-resolution mass spectrometry, fluorescence, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. In addition, SP-Br has been successfully applied to the monitoring of actual water samples and beer samples and has certain development prospects and value in the fields of environmental pollution and food quality analysis.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter, plays a key role in several critical physiological and pathological processes in vivo, including vasodilation, anti-infection, anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, and angiogenesis. In colorectal cancer (CRC), aberrant overexpression of H2S-producing enzymes has been observed. Due to the important role of H2S in the proliferation, growth, and death of cancer cells, H2S can serve as a potential target for cancer therapy. In this review, we thoroughly analyzed the underlying mechanism of action of H2S in CRC from the following aspects: the synthesis and catabolism of H2S in CRC cells and its effect on cell signal transduction pathways; the inhibition effects of exogenous H2S donors with different concentrations on the growth of CRC cells and the underlying mechanism of H2S in garlic and other natural products. Furthermore, we elucidate the expression characteristics of H2S in CRC and construct a comprehensive H2S-related signaling pathway network, which has important basic and practical significance for promoting the clinical research of H2S-related drugs.

Abstract
Nitroreductase (NTR) overexpression often occurs in tumors, highlighting the significance of effective NTR detection. Despite the utilization of various optical methods for this purpose, the absence of an efficient tumor-targeting optical probe for NTR detection remains a challenge. In this research, a novel tumor-targeting probe (Cy-Bio-NO2) is developed to perform dual-modal NTR detection using near-infrared fluorescence and photoacoustic techniques. This probe exhibits exceptional sensitivity and selectivity to NTR. Upon the reaction with NTR, Cy-Bio-NO2 demonstrates a distinct fluorescence "off-on" response at 800 nm, with an impressive detection limit of 12 ng/mL. Furthermore, the probe shows on-off photoacoustic signal with NTR. Cy-Bio-NO2 has been successfully employed for dual-modal NTR detection in living cells, specifically targeting biotin receptor-positive cancer cells for imaging purposes. Notably, this probe effectively detects tumor hypoxia through dual-modal imaging in tumor-bearing mice. The strategy of biotin incorporation markedly enhances the probe's tumor-targeting capability, facilitating its engagement in dual-modal imaging at tumor sites. This imaging capacity holds substantial promise as an accurate tool for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) tomography is an emerging biomedical imaging technology for precision cancer medicine. Conventional small-molecule PA probes usually exhibit a single PA signal and poor tumor targeting that lack the imaging reliability. Here, we introduce a series of cyanine/hemicyanine interconversion dyes (denoted Cy-HCy) for PA/fluorescent dual-mode probe development that features optimized ratiometric PA imaging and tunable tumor-targeting ability for precise diagnosis and resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). Importantly, Cy-HCy can be presented in cyanine (inherent tumor targeting and long NIR PA wavelength) and hemicyanine (poor tumor targeting and short NIR PA wavelength) by fine-tuning torsion angle and the ingenious transformation between cyanine and hemicyanine through regulation optically tunable group endows the NIR ratiometric PA and tunable tumor-targeting properties. To demonstrate the applicability of Cy-HCy dyes, we designed the first small-molecule tumor-targeting and NIR ratiometric PA probe Cy-HCy-H2S for precise CRC liver metastasis diagnosis, activated by H2S (a CRC biomarker). Using this probe, we not only visualized the subcutaneous tumor and liver metastatic cancers in CRC mouse models but also realized PA and fluorescence image-guided tumor excision. We expect that Cy-HCy will be generalized for creating a wide variety of inherently tumor-targeting NIR ratiometric PA probes in oncological research and practice.

Abstract
An iminocoumarin and tetraphenylethylene compound that exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and a significant Stokes shift (Δλ = 135 nm) in THF was created via the Knoevenagel condensation method. TPICBT could also be used as a ratiometric near-infrared fluorescent probe for the naked color identification of F- and H2S. It showed a large red shift (˃ 90 nm), good selectivity, and anti-interference. Test strip detection and cell imaging had both been accomplished using the probe. In addition, the probe could conveniently detect H2S produced during food spoilage without laboratory instruments.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major noncommunicable diseases, responsible for millions of deaths every year worldwide. Though various cancer detection and treatment modalities are available today, many deaths occur owing to its late-stage detection and metastatic nature. Noninvasive detection using luminescence-based imaging tools is considered one of the promising techniques owing to its low cost, high sensitivity, and brightness. Moreover, these tools are unique and valuable as they can detect even the slightest changes in the cellular microenvironment. To achieve this, a fluorescent probe with strong tumor uptake and high spatial and temporal resolution, especially with high water solubility, is highly demanded. Recently, several water-soluble molecules with emission windows in the visible (400-700 nm), first near-infrared (NIR-I, 700-1000 nm), and second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) windows have been reported in literature. This review highlights recently reported water-soluble small organic fluorophores/dyes with applications in cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. We systematically highlight and describe the key concepts, structural classes of fluorophores, strategies for imparting water solubility, and applications in cancer therapy and diagnosis, i.e., theragnostics. We discuss examples of water-soluble fluorescent probes based on coumarin, xanthene, boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY), and cyanine cores. Some other emerging classes of dyes based on carbocyclic and heterocyclic cores are also discussed. Besides, emerging molecular engineering methods to obtain such fluorophores are discussed. Finally, the opportunities and challenges in this research area are also delineated.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Abstract
Dynamic variations in the concentration and abnormal distribution of endogenous biomarkers are strongly associated with multiple physiological and pathological states. Therefore, it is crucial to design imaging systems capable of real-time detection of dynamic changes in biomarkers for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of diseases. Recently, ratiometric imaging has emerged as a widely used technique for sensing and imaging of biomarkers due to its advantage of circumventing the limitations inherent to conventional intensity-dependent signal readout methods while also providing built-in self-calibration for signal correction. Here, the recent progress of ratiometric probes and their applications in sensing and imaging of biomarkers are outlined. Ratiometric probes are classified according to their imaging mechanisms, and ratiometric photoacoustic imaging, ratiometric optical imaging including photoluminescence imaging and self-luminescence imaging, ratiometric magnetic resonance imaging, and dual-modal ratiometric imaging are discussed. The applications of ratiometric probes in the sensing and imaging of biomarkers such as pH, reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), glutathione (GSH), gas molecules, enzymes, metal ions, and hypoxia are discussed in detail. Additionally, this Review presents an overview of challenges faced in this field along with future research directions.

Abstract
Although hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a well-known toxic gas, its vital role as a gas transmitter in various physiological and pathological processes of living systems cannot be ignored. Relevant investigations indicate that endogenous H2S is involved in the development of ulcerative colitis pathology and is overexpressed in ulcerative colitis, and hence can be considered as an ulcerative colitis biomarker. Herein, an isophorone-xanthene-based NIR fluorescent probe (IX-H2S) was constructed to image H2S. Owing to its large conjugated structure, the probe exhibits a near-infrared emission wavelength of 770 nm with a large Stokes shift (186 nm). Moreover, IX-H2S has excellent selectivity for the detection of H2S without interference from other analytes including thiols. In addition, the probe has been successfully applied not only in fluorescence imaging of endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells, but also in imaging of H2S in normal and ulcerative colitis mice. Encouraged by the eminent performance, IX-H2S is expected to be a potent "assistant" for the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
H2S is correlated with mitochondrial dysfunction, which results in the death of cells. Two near-infrared fluorescent probes, Mito-HS-1 and Mito-HS-2, were designed for mitochondrial H2S imaging. Initially, the synthesis protocol of expensive IR-780-based hemicyanine (HXPI) was optimized with an appreciate yield of 80 % as compared with 14-56 % previously reported. Iodine atom was introduced to HXPI to obtain iodine-HXPI whose Stokes shift was increased to be 90 nm. On account of the rapid and fast nucleophilic attack of H2S, HXPI-based Mito-HS-1 could be applied for the real time imaging of mitochondrial H2S. Besides some similar optical properties with Mito-HS-1, iodine-HXPI-based Mito-HS-2 exhibited wider linear range (3-150 μM), more stable fluorescent imaging and more favorable specificity in vitro. Both Mito-HS-1 and Mito-HS-2 could be used to image exogenous H2S in cells, with Mito-HS-2 showing fairly better signal-to-noise. Additionally, the Pearson correlation coefficient of two probes demonstrated that they could successfully monitor mitochondrial H2S in A549 cells and Hela cells.

Abstract
We report the development of a red-emitting fluorescence probe (XDS) for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection in biosystems, real-world food samples, and application of this probe for monitoring of H2S production during food spoilage. The XDS probe is developed by coupling of coumarin derivative to rhodanic-CN through a H2S responsive CC bond. Remarkable fluorescence quenching of XDS is observed as a result of the response to H2S. Semi-quantitative detection of H2S in three real-world water and two beer samples and monitoring of H2S production during food spoilage in real-time by "naked-eye" and smartphone colorimetric analysis are then achieved using XDS as the probe. Moreover, XDS is low toxicity, allowing it being used for visualizing endogenous and exogenous H2S in vivo in a mouse model. It is expected that the successful development of XDS could provide an effective tool for investigating the roles of H2S in biomedical system and for future food safety evaluation.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is crucial to cellular energy production, apoptosis, and redox homeostasis in mitochondria of living cells. In this work, a unique mitochondria-targeting fluorescence probe (DDMI) was established for H2S determination based on styrylpyridinium scaffold. When DDMI was treated with H2S, it showed significant fluorescence enhancement at 623 nm, with good selectivity, and high sensitivity. In addition, the "turn-on" fluorescent probe DDMI could detect H2S in water samples with good recoveries in the range of 95.4 %-105.6 % and track the degree of food spoilage by visualizing the change of DDMI-loaded test strips. Furthermore, the established probe DDMI was successfully used for monitoring exogenous H2S in living cells and mitochondria targeting. These results paved the way for success in developing a technology that could be used to identify H2S in environment, foodstuff, and living cells.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a substantial role as a messenger in the physiological and pathological processes of many diseases. Recently, the fluorescence probe of H2S based on organic dye has attracted great attention. However, the emission of many probes is in the UV-vis region (400-600 nm), so it has the disadvantages of shallow tissue penetration and more vulnerable to spontaneous fluorescence interference. Although several H2S probes have been developed that emit more than 650 nm, there is a complex structure difficult to synthesize or unstable in storage. Aimed at simply structural and easily synthesized H2S fluorescent probes with emission wavelength more than 650 nm, a novel near-infrared (NIR) probe (NIR-H2S) here was rationally designed with 4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-7-(diethylamino)-2-(4-hydroxystyryl)chromenylium (NIR-OH) as a fluorescent dye and 2,4-dinitrophenyl moiety as a recognition group. Addition of H2S, the "turn-on" NIR fluorescence response at 736 nm of NIR-H2S was displayed, accompanied by a visual colour change from purple to green when excited at 686 nm. As an easily acquisitive H2S probe, NIR-H2S has been successfully applied to cell imaging for H2S detection with the advantages such as long fluorescence emission, low toxicity, high sensitivity and strong selectivity.

Abstract
Precise and early screening of colorectal cancer (CRC) is one crucial yet challenging task for its treatment, and the analysis of multi-targets of CRC in a single assay with high accuracy is essential for pathological research and clinical diagnosis. Here, a CRC-related biomarker pair, microRNA-211 (miRNA-211) and H2S, was detected by constructing a three-dimensional (3D) ordered DNA network. First, trace amount of miRNA-211 could initiate a hybridization chain reaction-based amplification process. A highly ordered 3D DNA network was formed based on the organized assembly of DNA-cube frameworks that were constructed by DNA origamis and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated inside. In the presence of the H2S, Ag NPs within the network can be etched to generate Ag2S quantum dots, which could be better visualized in fluorescence in situ cell imaging. Using the 3D DNA ordered network as the sensing platform, it can acquire dual analysis of biomolecule (miRNA-211) and inorganic gas (H2S) in vitro, overcoming the limitations of single type of biomarker detection in a single assay. This assay achieved a wide linearity range of H2S from 0.05 to 10 μM, and exhibited a low limit of detection of 4.78 nM. This strategy allows us to acquire the spatial distributions of H2S and miRNA expression levels in living CRC cells simultaneously, providing a highly sensitive and selective tool for early screening and monitoring of CRC.

Abstract
An unprecedented H2S release from cysteine esters and amides (CysO/NHR) under physiological conditions was discovered and the plausible mechanism was proposed. Alkylation of the amino moiety of cysteine esters enables the H2S release to be tuned and further provides support to the mechanistic insights. This discovery not only provides new insights into several fundamental science issues including non-enzymatic H2S-produced pathways, but also inspires new tunable cleavable motifs for sustained release of arylthiols and even for prodrug design.

Abstract
Nowadays, the selective release of therapeutic drugs into tumor cells has become an important way of tumor treatment due to the high side effects of chemotherapy drugs. As one of the gas mediators, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is closely related to cancer. Due to the high content of H2S in tumor cells, it can be used as a signaling molecule that triggers the release of drugs to achieve the selective release of therapeutic drugs. In addition, dual-channel fluorescence imaging technology can be better applied to monitor the drug delivery process and distinguish the state before and after drug release, so as to better track the effect of drug therapy. Based on this, we used NBD amines (NBD-NHR) as the recognition group of H2S and connected the tyrosine kinase inhibitor crizotinib to construct an activated dual-channel fluorescent probe CZ-NBD. After the probe enters the tumor cells, it consumes H2S and releases crizotinib, which is highly toxic to the tumor cells. Importantly, the probe displays significant fluorescence changes in different cells, enabling not only the screening of tumor cells, but also tracking and monitoring drug release and tumor cell activity. Therefore, the construction of probe CZ-NBD provides a new strategy for drug release monitoring in tumor cells.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a key fundamental gasotransmitter regulates various biological processes, and the incontrollable H2S is essentially associated with the occurrence and development of multiple diseases, including cancers. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an invasive tumor treatment technology, has also attracted great attentions. Due to the key role of elevated H2S in cancers, integrating H2S depletion/recognition and PDT should be an effective strategy to enhance anticancer performance. In this work, we report a H2S depletion aided PDT platform (3RAX-NBD) by the chemical ligation of 3RAX and NBD. 3RAX-NBD can react rapidly with H2S and generate a novel 3RAX derivative compound 3 with increased fluorescence in vitro and in vivo. More notably, 3RAX-NBD can effectively kill multiple cancer cells through in situ irradiation, and 3RAX-NBD also has prominent anticancer effects on 4 T1 tumor-bearing BALB/c female mice with no notably toxic side effects. We believe that our H2S depletion aided PDT platform may provide a powerful tool for studying the key roles of H2S in diseases, and also give another promising candidate for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule in colorectal cancer (CRC). It is produced in the colon by the catalytic synthesis of the colonocytes' enzymatic systems and the release of intestinal microbes, and is oxidatively metabolized in the colonocytes' mitochondria. Both endogenous H2S in colonic epithelial cells and exogenous H2S in intestinal lumen contribute to the onset and progression of CRC. The up-regulation of endogenous synthetases is thought to be the cause of the elevated H2S levels in CRC cells. Different diagnostic probes and combination therapies, as well as tumor treatment approaches through H2S modulation, have been developed in recent years and have become active area of investigation for the diagnosis and treatment of CRC. In this review, we focus on the specific mechanisms of H2S production and oxidative metabolism as well as the function of H2S in the occurrence, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of CRC. We also discuss the present challenges and provide insights into the future research of this burgeoning field.

Abstract
Imaging cancer specific biomarkers with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes can help inaccurate diagnosis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been reported to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes and is considered as one of the key gasotransmitters during the development of cancer. To achieve specific H2S detection in cancer cells, we reported a biotin-guided NIR fluorescent sensor P1 targeting a cancer cell surface biomarker, based on the H2S-specific thiolysis of the NBD-amine-hemicyanine conjugate. The probe showed a fast turn-on signal at 754 nm upon H2S activation and good selectivity towards H2S over millimolar levels of other biothiols. We successfully employed P1 to image endogenous H2S and demonstrated its tumor-targeting ability in live cells. P1 could differentiate multiple cancer cells with various levels of H2S from normal cells, indicating its potential for cancer imaging.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4) is carcinogenic, extremely toxic, and induces serious environmental contamination and physiological dysfunction; however, it is widely used as an industrial material. Hence, the development of a simple and effective analytical method to detect N2H4 detection in both environmental and biological sectors is warranted. In this work, an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based fluorescent probe 1, namely (Z)- 1-(4-acetoxybenzyl)- 4-(1-cyano-2-(7-(diethylamino)- 2-oxo-2 H-chromen-3-yl)vinyl)pyridin-1-ium, was designed for dual-excitation (420 and 600 nm, excitation separations >160 nm), near infrared (NIR)-emissive, and ratiometric fluorescent detection of N2H4. The sensing behavior of probe 1 for N2H4 detection was shown to be available over a wide pH range, and detection limits of 68 nM and 569 nM were achieved at excitation wavelengths of 420 and 600 nm, respectively. In addition, probe 1 was successfully used to image mitochondrial N2H4 in living cells and zebrafish. Furthermore, the probe was also capable of determining hydrazine signals in test strips and environmental soil.

Abstract
H2S, the smallest and simplest biological thiol in living systems, is the third member of the family of signaling mediators. H2S participates in the regulation of a series of complex physiological and pathological functions in the body, making it a critical fulcrum that balances health and disease in human physiology. Small-molecule fluorescent probes have been proven to possess the unique advantages of high temporal and spatial resolution, good biocompatibility and high sensitivity, and thus their use is a powerful approach for monitoring the level and dynamics of H2S in living cells and organisms and better understanding its basic cellular functions. The field of small-molecule fluorescent probes for monitoring the complex biological activities of H2S in vivo has been thriving in recent years. Herein, we systematically summarize the latest developments in the field of fluorescent probes for the detection of H2S, illustrate their biological applications according to the classification of target-responsive sites, and emphasize the development direction and challenges of H2S-responsive fluorescent probes, hoping to give implications of researchers on fluorescent probes for future research.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, especially dicyano-based fluorophores and xanthene-based hemicyanines, have beenput high expectation in bioimaging application due to their excellent optical properties. However, they suffer from inherentshortagessuch as short excitation/emission wavelength (less than 700 nm) or small Stokes shift (20-50 nm). Herein, we constructed a novel NIR dicyano-based fluorophore (DCO-HBTN). Toourknowledge, it is the first reported dicyano-based fluorophore of which the excitation/emission wavelength is more than 650 nm and Stokes shift is more than 100 nm. To demonstrate the feasibility of our efforts, we developed two NIR fluorescent probes (Probe-Cys and Probe-H2S) based on the fluorophore, Probe-Cys displayed good selective and highly sensitive (LOD = 0.28 μM) recognition of Cys over Hcy and GSH, which was used to visualize endogenous Cys in tumor tissue. Probe-H2S exhibited an. excellent specific and sensitive (LOD = 0.11 μM) response to H2S, which was applied in monitoring H2S releasing from the prodrug in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
As a common gaseous signaling molecule, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a vital role in physiology and pathology. The development of fluorescent probes for detecting H2S has attracted widespread attention. However, most of the reported fluorescent probes with nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) as the recognition group have been widely used to simultaneously detect biothiols and H2S, instead of specifically detecting H2S. Herein, a novel NBD-based near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe named CX-N for the detection of H2S is synthesized. The selectivity of CX-N for H2S is significantly higher than that for biothiols and other potential interferences. After reacting with H2S, CX-N shows a significant increase in NIR fluorescence (75-fold), large Stokes shift (155 nm) and fast response (4 min). And the possible response mechanism of CX-N to H2S is given and confirmed by HPLC and HRMS. Based on the low cytotoxicity of CX-N, it has been used for H2S imaging in live cells and zebrafish. More importantly, CX-N has also been successfully applied for the real-time imaging of H2S in inflammatory and tumor mice based on its NIR emission, which provides a reliable platform for the specific recognition of H2S in complex biological systems.

Abstract
The thiolysis of NBD piperazinyl amine (NBD-PZ) is highly selective for H2S over GSH and has been widely used for the development of many H2S fluorescent probes. Whether the NBD amine in H2S-specific probes could be a fluorescent quencher should be further clarified, because NBD amines have been used as environment-sensitive fluorophores for many years. Here, we compared the properties of NBD-based secondary and tertiary amines under the same conditions. For example, the emission of NBD-N(Et)2 is much smaller in water and less responsive to changes in polarity than that of NBD-NHEt. The emission of NBD-PZ-TPP is also smaller than that of NBD-NH-TPP both in aqueous buffer and in live cells. In addition, confocal bioimaging signals of NBD-PZ-TPP with excitation at 405 nm and 454 nm are much weaker than that at 488 nm. Based on these results as well as the previous work on NBD-based probes, we discuss and summarize the design strategies and sensing mechanisms for different NBD-based H2S probes. Moreover, NBD-PZ-TPP may be a useful tool for reaction with and imaging of mitochondrial H2S in live cells. This work should be useful for clarification of the roles of NBD in H2S-specific fluorescent probes as well as for facilitating the development of future NBD-based probes.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous biologically active gas produced in mammalian tissues. It plays a very critical role in many pathophysiological processes in the body. It can be endogenously produced through many enzymes analogous to the cysteine family, while the exogenous source may involve inorganic sulfide salts. H2S has recently been well investigated with regard to the onset of various carcinogenic diseases such as lung, breast, ovaries, colon cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. H2S is considered an oncogenic gas, and a potential therapeutic target for treating and diagnosing cancers, due to its role in mediating the development of tumorigenesis. Here in this review, an in-detail up-to-date explanation of the potential role of H2S in different malignancies has been reported. The study summarizes the synthesis of H2S, its roles, signaling routes, expressions, and H2S release in various malignancies. Considering the critical importance of this active biological molecule, we believe this review in this esteemed journal will highlight the oncogenic role of H2S in the scientific community.

Abstract
Innovations in nanomedicine has guided the improved outcomes for cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, frequent use of nanomaterials remains challenging due to specific limitations like non-targeted distribution causing low signal-to-noise ratio for diagnostics, complex fabrication, reduced-biocompatibility, decreased photostability, and systemic toxicity of nanomaterials within the body. Thus, better nanomaterial-systems with controlled physicochemical and biological properties, form the need of the hour. In this context, smart nanomaterials serve as promising solution, as they can be activated under specific exogenous or endogenous stimuli such as pH, temperature, enzymes, or a particular biological molecule. The properties of smart nanomaterials make them ideal candidates for various applications like biosensors, controlled drug release, and treatment of various diseases. Recently, smart nanomaterial-based cancer theranostic approaches have been developed, and they are displaying better selectivity and sensitivity with reduced side-effects in comparison to conventional methods. In cancer therapy, the smart nanomaterials-system only activates in response to tumor microenvironment (TME) and remains in deactivated state in normal cells, which further reduces the side-effects and systemic toxicities. Thus, the present review aims to describe the stimulus-based classification of smart nanomaterials, tumor microenvironment-responsive behaviour, and their up-to-date applications in cancer theranostics. Besides, present review addresses the development of various smart nanomaterials and their advantages for diagnosing and treating cancer. Here, we also discuss about the drug targeting and sustained drug release from nanocarriers, and different types of nanomaterials which have been engineered for this intent. Additionally, the present challenges and prospects of nanomaterials in effective cancer diagnosis and therapeutics have been discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), one of redox-active sulfur species, is known as a signaling molecule and an antioxidant in biological tissues to maintain cellular functions. The development of selective and sensitive H2S detection is important to understand the role of H2S in vivo. Herein, a new two-photon probe NNE was developed to detect hydrogen sulfide using 6-acetyl-N-methyl-2-naphthylamine with an attachment of 7-nitrobenzo-oxadiazole. The probe NNE exhibits high selectivity towards hydrogen sulfide over other anions. Nucleophilic substitution of H2S leads to a turn-on response with 28-fold enhancement in quantum yield (from 0.004 to 0.117). NNE shows a high sensitivity towards hydrogen sulfide with an extremely low detection limit at 6.8 nM. Furthermore, the probe NNE exhibits two-photon excited fluorescence, making it a suitable probe for monitoring H2S distribution in live cells and tissues without background fluorescence interference.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been regarded as the third endogenous gas signaling molecule. The development of suitable tools for H2S detection in vitro and in vivo has always been a focus of research. In this work, three BODIPY-NBD dyads (o/m/p-BNP) were designed and synthesized using BODIPY and NBD as the fluorophore and quencher, respectively. The position of the NBD moiety in the probe showed different fluorescence quenching abilities. All probes showed highly selective to H2S. Probe o-BNP displayed the maximum fluorescence enhancement (c.a. 1300-fold) and the lowest detection limit (105 nM). Probe o-BNP can visualize the production of endogenous H2S in HeLa cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Dynamic nucleophilic aromatic substitution of tetrazines (SNTz) has been employed to build theranostic prodrugs that are activated by hydrogen sulfide. H2S is typically found in high concentrations in some kinds of cancer cells and it is able to trigger the disassembly of tetrazine prodrugs. In such a way, a dual release of drugs and/or fluorescent compounds can be selectively triggered.

A bifunctional fluorescent probe based on PET & ICT for simultaneously recognizing Cys and H 2S in living cells. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2022; 230:112441. [PMID: 35397303 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2022.112441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Most reported probes that respond to Cysteine (Cys) and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can only identify one analyte, or they were interfered with homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) when recognizing Cys and H2S. In addition, nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) ether, as one of thiols recognition sites, inevitably encounters the situation that Cys, GSH and H2S cannot be distinguished on the same channel at the cellular level. In this work, by introducing NBD ether and NBD amine, we constructed a bifunctional fluorescent probe NJB for dual-site response to Cys and H2S via PET & ICT processes. NJB has wonderful selectivity for identifying Cys and HS-, with limits of detection as low as 58.4 nM and 81.1 nM, respectively. Interestingly, NJB has been successfully applied to detect Cys and HS- in MCF-7 cells. Therefore, the probe that serves as a great tool for inquiring the physiological and pathological functions of Cys and H2S in living cells is promising.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main therapy for colon cancer with liver metastasis is chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil combined with targeted drugs. However, acquired drug resistance and severe adverse reactions limit patients' benefit from standard chemotherapy. Here, we investigate the involvement of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in liver metastasis of colon cancer and its potential value as a novel therapeutic target. METHODS We used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to knockdown CBS gene expression in colon cancer cell lines. PCR arrays and proteome arrays were applied to detect the transcription and protein expression levels, respectively, of angiogenesis-related genes after knockdown. The molecular mechanism was investigated by western blot analysis, RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence staining, ChIP assays and dual-luciferase reporter assays. A liver metastasis mouse model was adopted to investigate the effect of targeting CBS on tumour metastasis in vivo. RESULTS Knockdown of CBS decreased the metastasis and invasion of colon cancer cells and inhibited angiogenesis both in vivo and in vitro. Tissue microarray analysis showed a positive correlation between CBS and VEGF expression in colon cancer tissues. Further analysis at the molecular level validated a positive feedback loop between the CBS-H2S axis and VEGF. CONCLUSIONS Endogenous H2S promotes angiogenesis and metastasis in colon cancer, and targeting the positive feedback loop between the CBS-H2S axis and VEGF can effectively intervene in liver metastasis of colon cancer.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important endogenous gas signal molecule in living system, which participates in a variety of physiological processes. Very recent evidence has accumulated to show that endogenous H2S is closely associated with various cancers and can be regarded as a biomarker of cancer. Herein, we have constructed a new near-infrared fluorescent probe (DCP-H2S) based on isophorone-xanthene dye for sensing hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The probe shows remarkable NIR turn-on signal at 770 nm with a large Stokes shift of 200 nm, together with high sensitivity (15-fold) and rapid detection ability for H2S (4 min). The probe also possesses excellent selectivity for H2S over various other analytes including biothiols containing sulfhydryl (-SH). Moreover, DCP-H2S has been successfully applied to visualize endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells (293T, Caco-2 and CT-26 cells). In particular, the excellent ability of DCP-H2S to distinguish normal mice and tumor mice is shown, and it is expected to be a powerful tool for detection of H2S in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes lesions of the epithelial barrier, which allows translocation of pathogens from the intestinal lumen to the host's circulation. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) regulates multiple physiological and pathological processes in colonic epithelial tissue, and CBS-H2S axis involved in multiple gastrointestinal disorder. However, the mechanism underlying the effect of the CBS-H2S axis on the intestinal and systemic inflammation in colitis remains to be illustrated. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of CBS-H2S axis on the intestinal and systematic inflammation related injuries in LPS induced colitis and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Wild type and CBS-/+ mice were used to evaluate the effect of endogenous and exogenous H2S on LPS-induced colitis in vivo. Cytokine quantitative antibody array, western blot and real-time PCR were applied to detect the key cytokines in the mechanism of action. Biotin switch of S-sulfhydration, CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knockout, immunofluorescence and ActD chase assay were used in the in vitro experiment to further clarify the molecular mechanisms. RESULTS H2S significantly alleviated the symptoms of LPS-induced colitis in vivo and attenuated the increase of COX-2 expression. The sulfhydrated HuR increased when CBS express normally or GYY4137 was administered. While after knocking kown CBS, the expression of COX-2 in mice colon increased significantly, and the sulfhydration level of HuR decreased. The results in vitro illustrated that HuR can increase the stability of COX-2 mRNA, and the decrease of COX-2 were due to increased sulfhydration of HuR rather than the reduction of total HuR levels. CONCLUSION These results indicated that CBS-H2S axis played an important role in protecting intestinal barrier function in colitis. CBS-H2S axis increases the sulfhydration level of HuR, by which reduces the binding of HuR with COX-2 mRNA and inhibited the expression of COX-2.

Abstract
Background The role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in cancer biology is controversial, including colorectal cancer. The bell-shaped effect of H2S refers to pro-cancer action at lower doses and anti-cancer effect at higher concentrations. We hypothesized that overexpression of cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS)/H2S exerts an inhibitory effect on colon cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. Methods Cell proliferation was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), clone-formation and sphere formation assay. Cell migration was evaluated by transwell migration assay. Intracellular H2S was detected by H2S probe. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis was carried out to examine DNA–protein interaction. Cell experiments also included western blotting, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence analysis. We further conducted in vivo experiments to confirm our conclusions. Results Overexpression of CBS and exogenous H2S inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation and migration in vitro. In addition, overexpression of CBS attenuated tumor growth and liver metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, CD44 and the transcription factor SP-1 was probably involved in the inhibitory effect of CBS/H2S axis on colon cancer cells. Conclusions Overexpression of CBS and exogenous provision of H2S inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation and migration both in vivo and in vitro. Molecular mechanisms might involve the participation of CD44 and the transcription factor SP-1.

Abstract
Ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are emerging as promising luminescent nanoprobes for bioimaging due to their fantastic photoluminescence (PL) and renal-clearable ability. However, it remains a great challenge to design them for in vivo sensitive molecular imaging in desired tissues. Herein, we have developed a strategy to tailor the PL and biofate of near-infrared II (NIR-II)-emitting AuNCs via ligand anchoring for improved bioimaging. By optimizing the ligand types in AuNCs and using Er3+-doped lanthanide (Ln) nanoparticles as models, core-satellite Ln@AuNCs assemblies were rationally constructed, which enabled 2.5-fold PL enhancement of AuNCs at 1100 nm and prolonged blood circulation compared to AuNCs. Significantly, Ln@AuNCs with dual intense NIR-II PL (from AuNCs and Er3+) can effectively accumulate in the liver for ratiometric NIR-II imaging of H2S, facilitated by H2S-mediated selective PL quenching of AuNCs. We have then demonstrated the real-time imaging evaluation of liver delivery efficacy and dynamics of two H2S prodrugs. This shows a paradigm to visualize liver H2S delivery and its prodrug screening in vivo. Note that Ln@AuNCs are body-clearable via the hepatobiliary excretion pathway, thus reducing potential long-term toxicity. Such findings may propel the engineering of AuNC nanoprobes for advancing in vivo bioimaging analysis.

Abstract
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) has recently received considerable attention due to its dual fluorescent changes and large Stokes shift. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas signal molecule that plays important roles in modulating the functions of different systems. Herein, by modifying 2-(2́-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) scaffold, a novel near-infrared mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe HBTP-H2S has been rationally designed based on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effect. The nucleophilic addition reaction of the H2S with probe HBTP-H2S caused the break of the conjugated skeleton, resulting the shifting of maximum emission peak from 658 nm to 470 nm. HBTP-H2S showed fast-response response time, good selectivity and a large Stokes shift (188 nm) toward H2S. Most importantly, inspired by the inherent advantages of the probe, HBTP-H2S was successfully employed to monitor mitochondrial H2S in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Two novel fluorescent probes, namely, 3-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)-2-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (P1) and 3-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)-2-(pyren-1-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one (P2), were designed and synthesized here. The probes (P1 and P2) were found to be highly selective and sensitive toward hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the presence of a wide range of anions. The new probes (P1 and P2) were fully characterized by analytical, NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C), and ESI mass spectrometry. The sensing capability of chemodosimeters (P1 and P2) toward H2S was confirmed by fluorescence studies. The 'turn-on' fluorescence was used to calculate the detection limit of probes (LOD), which were found to be 2.4 and 1.2 μM for P1 and P2, respectively. Moreover, the probes were tested for their cytotoxicity against HeLa cells using the MTT assay and found to be non-cytotoxic in nature; hence, the probes P1 and P2 were successfully utilized to visualize H2S in the living cells.

Abstract
High selectivity to specific analyte is essential for chemical sensors but difficult to achieve. For most chemical sensors, although the response to the target analyte can be more significant than interference analytes, they still show obvious responses to the interference analytes. Here, highly selective chemical sensors are developed with negligible responses to other interference vapors. Instead of the widely investigated electronically conductive metal-organic frameworks (EC-MOFs), ionically conductive MOFs (IC-MOFs) are used as the sensing materials, and the unique interaction between the ion charge carrier and the analyte is utilized to achieve high sensing selectivity. Through the modulation of the metal nodes (Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Mg) and organic ligands (H2 TCPP, H2 THPP, H4 BTEC), sensor arrays based on a set of IC-MOFs are fabricated and achieve highly selective detection toward volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). H2 S and CH3 SH can be selectively detected at concentrations down to 1 ppb and 1 ppm, respectively. The facile preparation and low cost endow the device with disposability.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging with high temporal and spatial resolution has emerged as one of the most promising techniques to monitor biomolecules and biological processes in living systems. Among many kinds of small molecular fluorescent dyes, 2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (BD) derivatives have been widely applied in many chemical and biological applications due to their excellent photophysical properties. However, only a limited number of BD dyes with long emission wavelengths were reported. Herein, we have reported a new class of red-to near-infrared-emitting small molecular dyes 2a-3a based on benzodioxazole scaffolds, which are named VBDfluors. To bathochromically shift both absorption and emission, the conjugation system was extended by introducing electron-withdrawing group-substituted vinyl groups at position 7 via a Knoevenagel condensation reaction. The basic photophysical properties of VBDfluors were detected and summarized. The VBDfluors display excellent photophysical properties, including emission in the red-to-NIR region, large Stokes shifts, good stability/photostability and cell permeability. The geometry of the molecules was optimized by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) methods. Bioimaging results indicated that 2a and 3a exhibited excellent cell permeability and could be utilized for visualization of lipid droplets in living cells.

Abstract
An endogenous H2S-triggered intelligent optical nanoprobe combining second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence with photoacoustic (PA) imaging can provide more comprehensive information to further improve the sensitivity and reliability of diagnosis for colorectal tumor, which is rarely explored. Herein, an endogenous H2S-triggered SiO2@Ag nanoprobe was designed for in situ dual-modal NIR-II/PA imaging of colorectal cancer. The designed dual-modal nanoprobe can be converted to SiO2@Ag2S after in situ biosynthesis via a sulfuration reaction with the over-expressed endogenous H2S in the colorectal tumor. More importantly, the designed SiO2@Ag nanoprobe exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing colorectal cancer in vivo via dual-modal NIR-II/PA imaging. These results provide a new NIR-II/PA dual-modal imaging strategy for noninvasive intelligent detection of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gasotransmitter that exerts a multitude of functions in both physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. H2S-synthesizing enzymes are increased in a variety of human malignancies, including colon, prostate, breast, renal, urothelial, ovarian, oral squamous cell, and thyroid cancers. In cancer, H2S promotes tumor growth, cellular and mitochondrial bioenergetics, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, tumor blood flow, metastasis, epithelia–mesenchymal transition, DNA repair, protein sulfhydration, and chemotherapy resistance Additionally, in some malignancies, increased H2S-synthesizing enzyme expression correlates with a worse prognosis and a higher tumor stage. Here we review the role of H2S in cancer, with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms by which H2S promotes cancer development, progression, dedifferentiation, and metastasis.

Abstract
Cancer ranks as a leading cause of death in every country of the world. However, if they are discovered early, a lot of cancers can be prevented or cured. Discovering and monitoring cancer markers are the main methods for early diagnosis of cancer. To date, many fluorescent probes designed and used for early cancer diagnosis can only react with a single marker, which always causes insufficient accuracy in complex systems. Herein, a novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (CyO-DNP) for the sequential detection of H2S and H+ is synthesized. In this probe, a heptamethine dye is selected as the fluorophore and a 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) ether is chosen as recognition group. In the presence of H2S, CyO-DNP is transformed into CyO, which exhibits an intense fluorescence at 663 nm. Then, H+ induces the protonation of CyO to obtain CyOH, and the final fluorescence emission at 793 nm significantly enhances. Owing to the low cytotoxicity and the NIR fluorescence emission, CyO-DNP can sequentially monitor endogenous H2S and H+ in cancer cells and image exogenous and endogenous H2S and H+ in mice. It is worth mentioning that CyO-DNP can effectively avoid the false positive signal caused by the liver and kidney and discriminate normal mice and tumor mice accurately. For all we know, CyO-DNP is the first fluorescent probe for early accurate diagnosis of cancer by sequentially detecting H2S and H+.

Abstract
Compounds with a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) skeleton exhibit prominent useful properties including environmental sensitivity, high reactivity toward amines and biothiols (including H2S) accompanied by distinct colorimetric and fluorescent changes, fluorescence-quenching ability, and small size, all of which facilitate biomolecular sensing and self-assembly. Amines are important biological nucleophiles, and the unique activity of NBD ethers with amines has allowed for site-specific protein labelling and for the detection of enzyme activities. Both H2S and biothiols are involved in a wide range of physiological processes in mammals, and misregulation of these small molecules is associated with numerous diseases including cancers. In this review, we focus on NBD-based synthetic probes as advanced chemical tools for biomolecular sensing. Specifically, we discuss the sensing mechanisms and selectivity of the probes, the design strategies for multi-reactable multi-quenching probes, and the associated biological applications of these important constructs. We also highlight self-assembled NBD-based probes and outline future directions for NBD-based chemosensors. We hope that this comprehensive review will facilitate the development of future probes for investigating and understanding different biological processes and aid the development of potential theranostic agents.

Abstract
Multifunctional cancer treatments based on gas therapy combined with other cancer treatments have gained tremendous attention and hold great promise in biomedical applications. In this study, a carbon monoxide-releasing nanoplatform combined with near-infrared (NIR) laser-triggered photothermal therapy (PTT) was constructed. The nanoplatform was composed of manganese pentacarbonyl bromide (MnCO)-loaded g-carbon nitride/polypyrrole (CNPpy) nanomaterials (MnCO@CNPpy). MnCO can be triggered to produce CO under H2O2 conditions. Upon exogenous NIR light stimulation and tumor microenvironment-overexpressed H2O2, MnCO@CNPpy exhibited excellent CO generation performance and photothermal effect. The generation of CO induced intracellular oxidative stress and caused cell apoptosis. Additionally, photoacoustic (PA) imaging was performed to track the delivery and accumulation of the nanomaterial in tumor sites because of the great photothermal conversion of CNPpy. The presented MnCO@CNPpy nanoplatform displayed desirable PTT and CO therapy in the inhibition of tumor growth and may provide a promising strategy for multifunctional antitumor synergistic treatments.

Abstract
Understanding the role of H2 S in host defense mechanisms against RNA viruses may provide opportunities for the development of antivirals to combat viral infections. Here, we have developed a green-emitting fluorogenic probe, which exhibits a large fluorescence response at 520 nm (>560-fold) when treated with 100 μM H2 S for 1 h. It is highly selective for H2 S over biothiols (>400-fold F/F0 ) and has a detection limit of 12.9 nM. We demonstrate the application of the probe for endogenous H2 S detection in vivo for the understanding of its roles in antiviral host defense. Such virus-induced H2 S inhibits viral replication by reducing gene expression of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and coat protein (CP). Additionally, a H2 S donor GYY4137 showed significantly antiviral activity as ribavirin, a broad-spectrum drug against RNA viruses. Furtherly, we propose a possible molecular mechanism for the TMV-induced H2 S biogenesis. This work provides a proof-of-principle in support of further studies identifying endogenous H2 S and its donors as potential antivirals toward RNA viruses.

Abstract
Nanoparticles, that can be enriched in the tumor microenvironment and deliver the payloads into cancer cells, are desirable carriers for theranostic agents in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, efficient targeted delivery and enhanced endocytosis for probes and drugs in theranostics are still major challenges. Here, a nanoparticle, which is capable of charge reversal from negative to positive in response to matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in tumor microenvironment is reported. This nanoparticle is based on a novel charge reversible amphiphilic molecule consisting of hydrophobic oleic acid, MMP9-cleavable peptide, and glutamate-rich segment (named as OMPE). The OMPE-modified cationic liposome forms an intelligent anionic nanohybrid (O-NP) with enhanced endocytosis through surface charge reversal in response to MMP9 in vitro. Successfully, O-NP nanohybrid performs preferential accumulation and enhances the endocytosis in MMP9-expressing xenografted tumors in mouse models, which improve the sensitivity of diagnosis agents and the antitumor effects of drugs in vivo by overcoming their low solubility and/or nonspecific enrichment. These results indicate that O-NP can be a promising delivery platform for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) contributes to human health and prolongs the storage time of postharvest fruits and vegetables. At the same time, H2S can cause a negative impact on some foodstuffs and beverages, so an efficient probe to detect H2S is needed. Herein, a fluorescent turn-on responding probe SPy-DNs for H2S detection has been designed and synthesized. SPy-DNs exhibited a red emission (608 nm), large Stokes shift (111 nm), and a detection limit of a nanomolar level (356 nM) in a dimethylformamide/phosphate-buffered saline (DMF/PBS) (1:1, v/v, 10 mM, pH 7.4) solution. SPy-DNs can detect H2S with ultrafast response within 4 s, which is faster than the response of other reported probes. In addition, the applicability of SPy-DNs to detect H2S has been determined in the actual water samples, targeted mitochondria, and imaged H2S in living cells. Moreover, SPy-DNs was successfully used as a tool to judge H2S levels in beer, which indicates that SPy-DNs possesses the advantage of rapid detection of H2S in foodstuffs.
