Hu G, Xu HD, Fang J. Sulfur-based fluorescent probes for biological analysis: A review. Talanta 2024; 279:126515. [PMID: 39024854 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126515] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
The widespread adoption of small-molecule fluorescence detection methodologies in scientific research and industrial contexts can be ascribed to their inherent merits, including elevated sensitivity, exceptional selectivity, real-time detection capabilities, and non-destructive characteristics. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on small-molecule fluorescent probes engineered with sulfur elements, aiming to detect a diverse array of biologically active species. This review presents a comprehensive survey of sulfur-based fluorescent probes published from 2017 to 2023. The diverse repertoire of recognition sites, including but not limited to N, N-dimethylthiocarbamyl, disulfides, thioether, sulfonyls and sulfoxides, thiourea, thioester, thioacetal and thioketal, sulfhydryl, phenothiazine, thioamide, and others, inherent in these sulfur-based probes markedly amplifies their capacity for detecting a broad spectrum of analytes, such as metal ions, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, reactive nitrogen species, proteins, and beyond. Owing to the individual disparities in the molecular structures of the probes, analogous recognition units may be employed to discern diverse substrates. Subsequent to this classification, the review provides a concise summary and introduction to the design and biological applications of these probe molecules. Lastly, drawing upon a synthesis of published works, the review engages in a discussion regarding the merits and drawbacks of these fluorescent probes, offering guidance for future endeavors.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO/ClO-) is a key reactive oxidative species (ROS) in the body. The HClO/ClO- concentrations are imbalanced during cancer formation due to the ROS stress response. This paper introduces a novel chitosan-based self-calibration fluorescent nanoprobe (ChCyNil) constructed by molecular assembly for the ratiometric detection of HClO/ClO-. Two chromophores with different fluorescence characteristics and HClO/ClO- sensitivity were labeled on chitosan, and nanoparticles were prepared by a self-assembly strategy for HClO/ClO- detection. ChCyNil exhibits several advantages, such as dual near-infrared emissions at 670 nm and 845 nm, tunable fluorescence intensity, self-calibration fluorescence, and good biocompatibility, improving its accuracy in HClO/ClO- detection. Our study confirmed that ChCyNil exhibits a well-assembled spheroidal nanostructure and good photophysical properties in solution. The fluorescence imaging properties were further proved by detecting endogenous HClO/ClO- produced by LPS/PMA stimuli in cells and zebrafish. In addition, ChCyNil was used to detect the fluorescence behavior of HClO/ClO- in tumors of live mice. The successful design and fabrication of ChCyNil have presented a new strategy for constructing detection tools with improved fluorescence properties for HClO/ClO- in live animals.

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

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid is a reactive oxygen species that is widely present in the body and has been found to exhibit an elevated concentration in tumors. As a result, fluorescent probes for tumor detection have recently gained significant attention. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe, LW-1, using coumarin as a scaffold, and characterized its spectral properties. LW-1 displayed indigo blue fluorescence at low concentrations of hypochlorous acid. As the concentration of hypochlorous acid increased, the probe underwent a reaction, resulting in a red shift in its fluorescence peak and exhibiting green fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity ratio (green/blue) was a susceptible detection signal for HClO. LW-1 exhibited favorable characteristics, including a low detection limit, high sensitivity, good stability, and low background interference. The detection limit has reached 2.4642 nM. Moreover, we successfully employed LW-1 to image normal human liver and colon cancer cells in vitro, demonstrating its potential as a promising tool for tumor detection. Overall, our findings suggest that LW-1 could serve as a valuable addition to the current arsenal of fluorescent probes for tumor detection, with potential applications in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Organic fluorophores aided by current microscopy imaging modalities are essential for studying biological systems. Recently, red/near-infrared emitting fluorophores have attracted great research efforts, as they enable bioimaging applications with reduced autofluorescence interference and light scattering, two significant obstacles for deep-tissue imaging, as well as reduced photodamage and photobleaching. Herein, we analyzed the current strategies to convert key organic fluorophores bearing xanthene, coumarin, and naphthalene cores into longer wavelength-emitting derivatives by focussing on their effectiveness and limitations. Together, we introduced typical examples of how such fluorophores can be used to develop molecular probes for biological analytes, along with key sensing features. Finally, we listed several critical issues to be considered in developing new fluorophores.

Abstract
Two-photon photodynamic therapy (TP-PDT), as a treatment technology with deep penetration and less damage, provides a broad prospect for cancer treatment. Nowadays, the development of TP-PDT suffers from the low two-photon absorption (TPA) intensity and short triplet state lifetime of photosensitizers (PSs) used in TP-PDT. Herein, we propose some novel modification strategies based on the thionated NpImidazole (the combination of naphthalimide and imidazole) derivatives to make efforts on those issues and obtain corresponding fluorescent probes for detecting ClO- and excellent PSs for TP-PDT. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) are used to help us characterize the photophysical properties and TP-PDT process of the newly designed compounds. Our results show that the introduction of different electron-donating groups at the position 4 of NpImidazole can effectively improve their TPA and emission properties. Specifically, 3s with a N,N-dimethylamino group has a large triplet state lifetime (τ = 699 μs) and TPA cross section value (δTPA = 314 GM), which can effectively achieve TP-PDT; additionally, 4s (with electron-donating group 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane in NpImidazole) effectively realizes the dual-function of a PS for TP-PDT (τ = 25,122 μs, δTPA = 351 GM) and a fluorescent probe for detecting ClO- (Φf = 29% of the product 4o). Moreover, an important problem is clarified from a microscopic perspective, that is, why the transition property of 3s and 4s (1π-π*) from S1 to S0 is different from that of 1s and 2s (1n-π*). It is hoped that our work can provides valuable theoretical clues for the design and synthesis of heavy-atom-free NpImidazole-based PSs and fluorescent probes for the detection of hypochlorite.

Abstract
Hypochlorite (ClO-) is an important bioactive molecule of living system which plays essential roles in many physiological and pathological processes. There is no doubt that the biological roles of ClO- depend highly on the concentration of ClO-. Unfortunately, the relationship between the concentration of ClO- and the biological process is unclear. Toward this purpose, in this work we addressed a core challenge for developing a powerful fluorescence tool for monitoring a wide concentration change (0-14 eq.) of ClO- via two distinct detection manners. The probe displayed fluorescence variation (red to green) upon addition of ClO- (0-4 eq.) and the color of test medium changed from red to colorless witnessed by the naked eyes. Surprisingly, in the presence of higher concentration of ClO- (4-14 eq.), the probe displayed another fluorescent signal change from green to blue. After demonstrating the excellent sensing properties of the probe with ClO- in vitro, it was successfully used to imaging different concentration of ClO- in living cells. We expected that the probe could act as an exciting chemistry tool for imaging of ClO- concentration-dependent oxidative stress event in biological system.

Abstract
Fluorescence monitoring of ATP in different organelles is now feasible with a few biosensors developed, which, however, show low sensitivity, limited biocompatibility, and accessibility. Small-molecule ATP probes that alleviate those limitations thus have received much attention recently, leading to a few ATP probes that target several organelles except for the nucleus. We disclose the first small-molecule probe that selectively detects nuclear ATP through reversible binding, with 25-fold fluorescence enhancement at pH 7.4 and excellent selectivity against various biologically relevant species. Using the probe, we observed 2.1-3.3-fold and 3.9-7.8-fold higher nuclear ATP levels in cancerous cell lines and tumor tissues compared with normal cell lines and tissues, respectively, which are explained by the higher nuclear ATP level in the mitosis phase. The probe has great potential for studying nuclear ATP-associated biology.

Abstract
Human serum albumin exerts multifunctions, such as maintaining the oncotic pressure of plasma, carrying hydrophobic molecules, and acting as the most important antioxidant in the blood. Lower serum albumin levels are linked to several cardiovascular diseases, and dysfunction of albumin reabsorption in the kidney is linked to liver disease, renal disorder, and diabetes. Albumin is thus a powerful diagnostic and prognostic marker; however, its quantification in urine by readily affordable tools is challenging owing to its very low concentration. To address this issue, we developed a ratiometric fluorescent probe with multiple advantages through a systematic structure variation of a benzocoumarin fluorophore and, further, a prototype of a smartphone-based point-of-care device. We determined albumin levels in urine and observed that a smoking person has notably higher urine albumin than a nonsmoking person. The cheap device provides a promising tool for albumin-associated disease diagnosis in communities with limited resources.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is crucial to regulate the metabolism of phenol derivatives, playing an important role in the biosynthesis of melanin pigments, whereas an abnormal level of tyrosinase would lead to severe diseases. It is rather necessary to develop a sensitive and selective imaging tool to assess the level of tyrosinase in vivo. We thoroughly researched the luminous mechanism of the existing TPTYR probe and provided design strategies to improve its two-photon excited fluorescence properties. The designed probes benza2-TPTYR and product benza2-TPTYR-coumarin have large two-photon absorption cross sections at the NIR spectral region (41 GM/706 nm, 71 GM/852 nm), while benza2-TPTYR-coumarin possesses easily distinguishable spectrum in the visible region and a high fluorescence efficiency (ΦF = 0.27). What is more, novel two-photon excited multimodal imaging based on the pure organic small molecule benza1-TPTYR-coumarin (61 GM/936 nm) is proposed first, simultaneously possessing strong instantaneous fluorescent (563.79 nm) and persistent room-temperature phosphorescent emissions (767.68 nm, 0.54 ms).

In recent years, efficient method for detectiing HClO/ClO- is of great important to research its pathological or physiological function in bio-systems. In this work, we have constructed a fluorescent probe (P-Hc) with ratiometric signal for sensing HClO/ClO- in aqueous solution, physiological saline and different serums based on 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenol dye. The structure of P-Hc was characterized by NMR and HRMS spectrum. The sensing mechanism has also been verified by 1H NMR spectrum. The P-Hc displays good sensitivity and selectivity for HClO/ClO- with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.03 × 10-6 M. Furthermore, P-Hc has been applied for sensing HClO/ClO- in physiological saline and different serums. Thus, P-Hc may provide a novel method for ratiometric fluorescent sensing HClO/ClO- in bio-samples.

Abstract
Background:
Chemosensor compounds are useful for sensitive selective detection of cations and anions with
fluorophore groups in an attempt to develop the effective selectivity of the sensors. Although familiar fluorescent sensors
utilizing inter-molecular interactions with the cations and anions, an extraordinary endeavor was executed the preparation
of fluorescent-based sensor compounds. 4,4-difluoro-4- bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (Bodipy) and its derivatives were
firstly used as an agent in the imaging of biomolecules due to their interesting structures, complexation, and fluorogenic
properties. Among the fluorescent chemosensors used for cations and anions, Bodipy-based probes stand out owing to the
excellent properties such as sharp emission profile, high stability, etc. In this review, we emphasize the Bodipy-based
chemosensor compounds, which have been used to image cations and anions in living cells, because of as well as the
biocompatibility and spectroscopic properties.
Methods:
Research and online content related to chemosensor online activity is reviewed. The advances, sensing
mechanisms and design strategies of the fluorophore exploiting selective detection of some cation and anions with
Bodipy-based chemosensors are explained. It could be claimed that the using of Bodipy-based chemosensors is very
important for cations and anions in bio-imaging applications.
Results:
Molecular sensors or chemosensors are molecules that show a change can be detected when affected by the
analyte. They are capable of producing a measurable signal when they are selective for a particular molecule. Molecular
and ion recognition that it is important in biological systems such as enzymes, genes, environment, and chemical fields.
Due to the toxic properties of many heavy metal ions, it is of great importance to identify these metals due to their harmful
effects on living metabolism and the pollution they create in the environment. This process can be performed with
analytical methods based on atomic absorption and emission. The fluorescence methods among chemosensor systems have
many advantages such as sensitivity, selectivity, low price, simplicity of using the instrument and direct determination in
solutions. The fluorescence studies can be applied at nanomolar concentrations.
Conclusion:
During a few decades, a lot of Bodipy-based chemosensors for the detection of cations & anions have been
investigated in bio-imaging applications. For the Bodipy-based fluorescent chemosensors, the Bodipy derivatives were
prepared by different ligand groups for the illumination of the photophysical and photochemical properties. The
synthesized Bodipy-based chemosensors have remarkable photophysical properties, such as a high quantum yield, strong molar absorption coefficient etc. Moreover, these chemosensors were successfully implemented on living organisms for
the detection of analytes.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a special kind of reactive oxygen species, which plays an important role in resisting pathogen invasion and maintaining cell redox balance and other physiological processes. In addition, HClO is commonly used in daily life as a bleaching and disinfectant agent. Its excessive use can also lead to death of water animals and serious respiratory and skin diseases in humans. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a quick and convenient tool for detecting HClO in the environment and organisms. In this paper, we utilize the specific reaction of HClO with dimethylthiocarbamate to develop a novel naphthalene derivative fluorescent probe (BNA-HClO), it was designed and synthesized by using 6-(2-benzothiazolyl)-2-naphthol as the fluorophore and N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate as the recognition group. BNA-HClO shows large fluorescence enhancement (374-fold), high sensitivity (a detection limit of 37.56 nM), rapid response (<30 s), strong anti-interference ability and good specificity in vitro. Based on the outstanding in vitro sensing capability of BNA-HClO, it has been successfully used to detect spiked HClO in tap water, medical wastewater and fetal bovine serum with good recovery. BNA-HClO has also been successfully used as a portable test strip for the in situ semi-quantitative detection of HClO in tap water solutions. In addition, BNA-HClO can successfully enable the detection and imaging of exogenous and endogenous HClO in living cells. This work provides a simple and effective tool for the detection and imaging of HClO in environmental and biological systems, and provides some theoretical guidance for future exploration of biological and pathological studies related to HClO.

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

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) is the survival environment for tumor cells to proliferate and metastasize in deep tissue. TME contains tumor cells, immune cells, stromal cells and a variety of active molecules including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Inside the TME, ROS regulate the oxidation-reduction (redox) homeostasis and promote oxidative stress. Due to the rapid proliferation ability and specific metabolic patterns of the TME, ROS pervade virtually all complex physiological processes and play irreplaceable roles in protein modification, signal transduction, metabolism, and energy production in various tumors. Therefore, measurements of the dynamically, multicomponent simultaneous changes of ROS in the TME are of great significance to reveal the detailed proliferation and metastasis mechanisms of the tumor. Near-infrared (NIR) and two-photon (TP) fluorescence imaging techniques possess real-time, dynamic, highly sensitive, and highly signal-to-noise ratios with deep tissue penetration abilities. With the rationally designed probes, the NIR and TP fluorescence imaging techniques have been widely used to reveal the mechanisms of how ROS regulates and constructs complex signals and metabolic networks in TME. Therefore, we summarize the design principles and performances of NIR and TP fluorescence imaging of ROS in the TME in the last four years, as well as discuss the advantages and potentials of these works. This Review can provide guidance and prospects for future research work on TME and facilitate the development of antitumor drugs.

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

Abstract
Hypochloric acid (HOCl) plays a vital role in the natural defense system, but abnormal levels of it can cause cell damage, accelerated human aging, and various diseases. It is of great significance to develop new probes for detecting HOCl in biosystems nondestructively and noninvasively. The purpose of this work is to explore new chemical modification strategies of two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) probes to improve the poor water solubility and low efficiency in imaging applications. Nil-OH-6 has a two-photon absorption cross-section value as high as 243 GM and attains a good quantum yield of 0.49. In addition, the modification of terminal groups with different azetidine-heterospirocycles or N,N-dialkyl fused amino groups to Nile Red can effectively improve the fluorescence efficiency as well as increase the solubility to some extent. This study provides some strategies to simultaneously improve the fluorescence performance and solubility of these two-photon probes and, hence, reliable guidance and a foundation for the subsequent synthesis of TPEF probes based on Nile Red.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by an inflammatory response in the brain are associated with various neurological disorders. To investigate ROS-associated neuroinflammatory diseases, fluorescent probes with practicality are in demand. We have investigated hypochlorous acid, an important ROS, in the brain tissues of neuroinflammation and maternal immune activation (MIA) model mice, using a new fluorescent probe. The probe has outstanding features over many known probes, such as providing two bright ratio signals in cells and tissues in deep-red/near-infrared wavelength regions with a large spectral separation, in addition to being strongly fluorescent, photo- and chemo-stable, highly selective and sensitive, fast responding, and biocompatible. We have found that the level of hypochlorous acid in the brain tissue of a neuroinflammatory mouse model was higher (2.7-4.0-fold) compared with that in normal brain tissue. Furthermore, the level of hypochlorous acid in the brain tissue of a MIA mouse model was higher (1.2-1.3-fold) compared with that in the normal brain tissue. The "robust" probe provides a practical tool for studying ROS-associated neurological disorders.

Abstract
Fluorescent chemical probes have become powerful tools to study biological events in living cells. They provide a great opportunity to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the physiological and biochemical properties of living cells in real time. The ability of researchers to manipulate these probes for a desired specific purpose has turned many heads in the scientific community. Despite a slow start, fluorescent probe research has seen exponential growth over the last decade in the world. This change required some adventurous and creative scientists from different fields-like biology, medicine, and chemistry-to come together to facilitate the constant expansion of this field. This review article introduces some fundamental concepts related to fluorescent probe designing and development. It also summarizes various fluorescent probes with superior optical properties used in fields like cell biology, cellular imaging, medical research, and cancer diagnosis. It is hoped that this article will encourage more young and creative scientists to contribute their talents to this field.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a diffuse inflammatory pulmonary damage caused by excessive ROS that break the coordination of normal physiological structures and functions. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), one kind of ROS, is a hopeful biological marker for inflammation-related diseases. Therefore, the excessive generation of HOCl might be a significant reason for oxidative injury in ALI. Herein, we developed a fluorescent probe, namely BCy-HOCl, for quantitatively monitoring and visualizing HOCl in living cells and in vivo. The probe BCy-HOCl displayed a significant fluorescence signal enhancement towards HOCl with excellent selectivity and sensitivity. The variation of HOCl in the ALI cell model and ALI mouse model was evaluated with BCy-HOCl to clarify the relationship between ALI and HOCl. Our results verified that the HOCl levels conspicuously increased with the severity of the ALI. Thus, HOCl is likely to play a crucial part in the process of ALI, which will probably provide a new strategy for its treatment.

Abstract
Hypochlorite (ClO-), as a type of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a crucial role in the process of oxidative stress and is closely related to many diseases. Thus, developing a method for detecting and imaging of ClO- with high sensitivity and selectivity is of great significance. However, the applications of most luminescent probes are limited to the fact that the excitation and emission wavelengths of them are in the visible light region rather than in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Hence, an NIR iridium(III) complex (Mul-NIRIr) with two-photon excitation is designed for the detecting and imaging of ClO-. In the presence of ClO-, the luminescent intensity and lifetime of Mul-NIRIr are remarkably enhanced. Interestingly, Mul-NIRIr also exhibits excellent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties, and the ECL signal is significantly enhanced with the addition of ClO-. What is more, Mul-NIRIr is also suitable for the detection and analysis ClO- by flow cytometry. Therefore, Mul-NIRIr is developed to detect multiple signals and is successfully applied to detect exogenous and endogenous ClO- in living cells with one-photon, two-photon, and phosphorescence lifetime image microscopy (PLIM). In addition, Mul-NIRIr was successfully used for imaging of ClO- in tissues and inflammatory mouse models. All of the above results indicate that Mul-NIRIr is highly effective in detecting ClO- in living systems.

Abstract
Lysosome of phagocyte is the main site of hypochlorous acid (HClO) production, and HClO can be employed as the biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of arthritis. In recent years, developing fluorescent probes for lysosomal HClO has attracted considerable attention, but most of them still have some defects, such as autofluorescence, phototoxicity and photobleaching because of their excitation and emission located in short-wavelength region. Due to the advantages of two-photon fluorescent probes with near-infrared emissions, a lysosome-targetable two-photon fluorescent probe (Lyso-TP-HClO) with a near-infrared emission was reported in this paper. Lyso-TP-HClO has a high selectivity and a high sensitivity to HClO in the linear range (10.0 × 10-8 to 5.0 × 10-6 M), with a detection limit of 3.0 × 10-8 M. Due to the two-photon excited near-infrared emission, Lyso-TP-HClO has excellent imaging performances, such as small autofluorescence, excellent photostability, and large imaging depth. Furthermore, Lyso-TP-HClO was successfully employed for visualizing lysosomal HClO in bacteria-infected cells. At last, we have successfully used Lyso-TP-HClO to image the arthritis and evaluate the treatment of arthritis in mice. All the results confirm that Lyso-TP-HClO is a useful chemical tool for imaging of lysosomal HClO, the diagnosis of arthritis, and treatment evaluation of arthritis.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), a rare, extremely aggressive malignant, is enriched by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are closely related to the pathogenesis of ATC. In the present study, we demonstrated that diallyl trisulphide (DATS), a well-known hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) donor, suppressed sphere formation and restored the expression of iodide-metabolizing genes in human ATC cells, which were associated with H2 S generation. Two other H2 S donors, NaHS and GYY4137, could also suppress the self-renewal properties of ATC cells in vitro. Compared with normal thyroid tissues and papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs), the elevated expressions of SOX2 and MYC, two cancer stem cell markers, in ATCs were validated in the combined Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohort. DATS decreased the expression of SOX2, which was mediated by H2 S generation. Furthermore, knockdown of AKT or inhibition of AKT by DATS led to a decrease of SOX2 expression in ATC cells. AKT knockdown phenocopied restoration of thyroid-specific gene expression in ATC cells. Our data suggest that H2 S donors treatment can compromise the stem cell phenotype and restore thyroid-specific gene expression of ATC cells by targeting AKT-SOX2 pathway, which may serve as a therapeutic strategy to intervene the CSC progression of ATC.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe (OFN) based on nopinone for the detection of hypochlorite has been developed. The probe OFN exhibited a colorimetric and ratiometric response to hypochlorite with good selectivity, high sensitivity (the low detection limit is 0.136 μM) and fast response time (30 s). In response to ClO-, an obvious change was observed in both the fluorescence and absorption spectra, followed by the visible color change from colorless to yellow and the fluorescence color change from yellow to green. The sensing mechanism confirmed that the oxime group of OFN was oxidized to the aldehyde group, which was proved by HRMS and 1H NMR. What is more, the probe was used not only to detect the concentration of ClO- in water samples but also for monitoring ClO- in living cells.

Abstract
Direct measurement of DNA repair enzyme activities is important both for the basic study of cellular repair pathways as well as for potential new translational applications in their associated diseases. NTH1, a major glycosylase targeting oxidized pyrimidines, prevents mutations arising from this damage, and the regulation of NTH1 activity is important in resisting oxidative stress and in suppressing tumor formation. Herein, we describe a novel molecular strategy for the direct detection of damaged DNA base excision activity by a ratiometric fluorescence change. This strategy utilizes glycosylase-induced excimer formation of pyrenes, and modified DNA probes, incorporating two pyrene deoxynucleotides and a damaged base, enable the direct, real-time detection of NTH1 activity in vitro and in cellular lysates. The probe design was also applied in screening for potential NTH1 inhibitors, leading to the identification of a new small-molecule inhibitor with sub-micromolar potency.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO)-mediated oxidative stress has been suggested to play an important role in the pathological dysfunction of epileptic brains. However, there is currently no robust brain-imaging tool to detect real-time endogenous hypochlorite (HClO) generation by MPO or a fluorescent probe for rapid high-throughput screening of antiepileptic agents that control the MPO-mediated chlorination stress. Herein, we report an efficient two-photon fluorescence probe (named HCP) for the real-time detection of endogenous HClO signals generated by MPO in the brain of kainic acid (KA)-induced epileptic mice, where HClO-dependent chlorination of quinolone fluorophore gives the enhanced fluorescence response. With this probe, we visualized directly the endogenous HClO fluxes generated by the overexpression of MPO activity in vivo and ex vivo in mouse brains with epileptic behaviors. Notably, by using HCP, we have also constructed a high-throughput screening approach to rapidly screen the potential antiepileptic agents to control MPO-mediated oxidative stress. Moreover, from this screen, we identified that the flavonoid compound apigenin can relieve the MPO-mediated oxidative stress and inhibit the ferroptosis of neuronal cells. Overall, this work provides a versatile fluorescence tool for elucidating the role of HClO generation by MPO in the pathology of epileptic seizures and for rapidly discovering additional antiepileptic agents to prevent and treat epilepsy.

Abstract
By taking advantage of phenothiazine moiety as an electron-donating group, a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) type coumarin dye, PTZ-Et, was developed. The introduction of phenothiazine moiety not only caused emission red-shifting and Stokes shift enlarging, but also endowed PTZ-Et with significant aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) features, thereby enabled PTZ-Et as a robust ratiometric fluorescent probe for HClO detection. Upon oxidation of the sulfur atom on phenothiazine into sulfoxide, PTZ-Et displayed remarkable ratiometric fluorescence response (over 150 folds variations of F534/F626) toward HClO with rapid response time (<30 s) and ultra-sensitivity (LOD = 15 nM). Additionally, the corresponding sensing mechanism of PTZ-Et for HClO was fully elucidated through the successful purification and well characterization (1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and single crystal data) of the corresponding reaction product between PTZ-Et and HClO. Significantly, PTZ-Et was capable of monitoring both exogenous and endogenous HClO in living RAW 264.7 cells by ratiometric fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
In this paper, ratiometric imaging of lysosomal HOCl was realized with a molecular probe (CR-Ly) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer by using coumarin as the donor and rhodamine as acceptor. CR-Ly showed high sensitivity and fast response to HOCl. Moreover, CR-Ly exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity for HOCl over other biologically relevant species. Furthermore, it was successfully utilized to image the endogenous HOCl with low cytotoxity. And CR-Ly was capable of targeting lysosomes and monitoring lysosomal hypochlorous acid changes owing to the presence of the morpholine moiety. We believe that probe CR-Ly would be helpful to further research on the HOCl-associated diseases in lysosomes.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) and plays a significant role in living organisms. Highly selective and lysosome-targetable probes for sensing hypochlorous acid are rare. In this article, we designed and prepared a new lysosome-targeting and ratiometric fluorescent probe for monitoring the levels of hypochlorous acid. 4-Aminonaphthalimide was chosen as the fluorescent group and (2-aminoethyl) thiourea group was used as a specific recognition group for HClO. A morpholine unit was employed as a lysosome-targeting group. In the absence of HClO the probe underwent intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and showed a green emission. When excess HClO is present, the ICT process was interrupted which caused a 57 nm blue-shift of fluorescence emission from 533 nm to 476 nm. The ratiometric fluorescent probe showed outstanding selectivity toward HClO over other various bioactive species. Furthermore, the ratiometric fluorescent probe exhibited rapid response time and ability of working in a wide pH range. The linear response of I476nm/I533nm toward HClO was obtained in a concentration range of HClO from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-4 mol·L-1. The detection limit was estimated to be 8.0 × 10-7 mol·L-1 for HClO. Moreover, the probe showed a perfect lysosome-targeting ability, and has been successfully used to the confocal imaging of HClO in lysosomes of HepG2 cells with little cell toxicity. All of such good properties illustrated that it could be applied to determine HClO at lysosomes in living cells.

Abstract
The promising features of fluorescence spectroscopy have inspired a quest for fluorescent probes for analysis and monitoring of molecular interactions in biochemical, medical, and environmental sciences. To overcome the competitive supramolecular interactions in aqueous media encountered with conventional molecular-recognition-based probes, the use of reaction-based probes that involve making or breaking of covalent bonds has emerged as a complementary sensing strategy to realize higher selectivity and sensitivity with larger spectroscopic changes. In spite of the enormous efforts, the development of reaction-based fluorescent probes meets with certain challenges in terms of their practical applications, demanding "intelligent design" of probes with an appropriate fluorophore attached to an efficient reactive moiety at the right place. This Account summarizes the results of our efforts made in the development and fine-tuning of reaction-based fluorescent probes toward those goals, classified by the type of analyte (anions, metal cations, and biomolecules) with notes on the challenges and achievements. The reaction-based approach was demonstrated to be powerful for the selective sensing of anions (cyanide and (amino)carboxylates) for the first time, and later it was extended to develop two-photon probes for bisulfite and fluoride ions. The reaction-based approach also enabled selective sensing of noble metal ions such as silver, gold, and palladium along with toxic (methyl)mercury species and paramagnetic copper ions. Furthermore, microscopic imaging and monitoring of biologically relevant species with reaction-based two-photon probes were explored for hydrogen sulfide, hypochlorous acid, formaldehyde, monoamine oxidase enzyme, and ATP.

Abstract
In recent decades, HOCl research has attracted a lot of scientists from around the world. This chemical species is well known as an important player in the biological systems of eukaryotic organisms including humans. In the human body, HOCl is produced by the myeloperoxidase enzyme from superoxide in very low concentrations (20 to 400 μm); this species is secreted by neutrophils and monocytes to help fight pathogens. However, in the condition called "oxidative stress", HOCl has the capability to attack many important biomolecules such as amino acids, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids; these reactions could ultimately contribute to a number of diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases (AD, PD, and ALS), cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. In this review, we discuss recent efforts by scientists to synthesize various fluorophores which are attached to receptors to detect HOCl such as: chalcogen-based oxidation, oxidation of 4-methoxyphenol, oxime/imine, lactone ring opening, and hydrazine. These synthetic molecules, involving rational synthetic pathways, allow us to chemoselectively target HOCl and to study the level of HOCl selectivity through emission responses. Virtually all the reports here deal with well-defined and small synthetic molecular systems. A large number of published compounds have been reported over the past years; this growing field has given scientists new insights regarding the design of the chemosensors. Reversibility, for example is considered important from the stand point of chemosensor reuse within the biological system; facile regenerability using secondary analytes to obtain the initial probe is a very promising avenue. Another aspect which is also important is the energy of the emission wavelength of the sensor; near-infrared (NIR) emission is favorable to prevent autofluorescence and harmful irradiation of tissue; thus, extended applicability of such sensors can be made to the mouse model or animal model to help image internal organs. In this review, we describe several well-known types of receptors that are covalently attached to the fluorophore to detect HOCl. We also discuss the common fluorophores which are used by chemist to detect HOCl, Apart from the chemical aspects, we also discuss the capabilities of the compounds to detect HOCl in living cells as measured through confocal imaging. The growing insight from HOCl probing suggests that there is still much room for improvement regarding the available molecular designs, knowledge of interplay between analytes, biological applicability, biological targeting, and chemical switching, which can also serve to further sensor and theurapeutic agent development alike.

Abstract
In this paper, a new 'turn-on' fluorescence probe for the rapid, sensitive, and visual detection of hypochlorite is reported. The push-pull type trianiline-tricyanofuran-based fluorescent probe was prepared using a condensation reaction between tricyanofuran and the thiophene-trianiline derivative that had high quantum yields and showed aggregation-induced emission enhanced properties. Upon exposure to hypochlorite, prominent fluorescence enhancement of the probe was observed via the release of the fluorophore from the probe. The probe showed a ratiometric absorption change at 315 nm and 575 nm. Importantly, the probe showed an excellent detection limit for hypochlorite at 1.2 × 10-7 M in solution and it was successfully applied for monitoring hypochlorite in waste water by test strip. This work reports a new fluorescence analytical sensing method for hypochlorite that has potential practical value in environmental monitoring and biological discrimination.

Abstract
Hypochlorite (ClO-), one of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is closely related with many physiological and pathological processes. Especially as one of cellular reactive oxygen species in mitochondria, ClO- can induce mitochondrial permeability, which leads to apoptosis. Thus, developing an effective method which is able to sense ClO- in mitochondria is important. Although fluorescent probe has become a powerful tool for imaging ClO- in mitochondria, most of them suffered from phototoxicity to biosamples, autofluorescence, and photobleaching phenomenon due to their short-wavelength excitations and emissions. Based on advantages of two-photon fluorescent probe and far-red to NIR fluorescent probe, a mitochondria-targetable two-photon fluorescent probe with a turn-on signal in far-red to NIR region, Mito-TP-ClO, was developed for ClO- in this paper. Mito-TP-ClO is consisted of a triphenylphosphonium cations as a mitochondria-targetable unit and a structure of dibenzoylhydrazine as a response unit to ClO-. Mito-TP-ClO exhibited a high sensitivity and a high selectivity to ClO-, with a linear range from 6.0 × 10-8 to 1.0 × 10-5 M and a detection limit of 2.5 × 10-8 M. Due to its large two-photon cross section (267 GM) and far-red to NIR emission, Mito-TP-ClO exhibits excellent performances including low autofluorescence, photostable fluorescence signal, and deep tissue penetration (230 μM). Moreover, Mito-TP-ClO was successfully used to detect endogenous ClO- in bacteria-infected cells and inflammatory mouse model, which confirmed that Mito-TP-ClO is a powerful tool to monitor ClO- in mitochondria and study on effects of hypochlorite on mitochondria.

Abstract
The difficulty of near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric detection imaging lies in the lack of high-efficiency NIR probes and the overlapping interference between two emission peaks. To achieve more accurate detection in living organisms, dual NIR-emissive luminescent nanoprobes were designed under the same excitation at 808 nm. The Er3+ ion-doped nanoparticles were employed as a reference with their fluorescence emission at 1525 nm. Meanwhile, a cyanine dye molecule (Cy925) was combined on the surface of nanoparticles as the ClO- recognition site with its NIR emission at 925 nm. The ratiometric nanoprobe relied on the ratio of aforementioned two separated NIR peaks ( I925nm/ I1525nm), featuring deeper imaging penetration depth and low autofluorescence. This nanoprobe was verified to be sensitive and highly selective to ClO- through photoluminescence titration. The in vitro detection experiment developed reasonable work curves, guaranteeing that we can detect the change in concentration of ClO- in mice limbs with arthritis through in vivo imaging experiments.
