Abstract
Soil-borne diseases represent an impediment to the sustainable development of agriculture. A soil-borne disease caused by Ilyonectria destructans severely impacts Panax species, and soil disinfestation has proven to be an effective management approach. Here, diallyl trisulfide (DATS), derived from garlic, exhibited pronounced inhibitory effects on the growth of I. destructans in vitro tests and contributed to the alleviation of soil-borne diseases in the field. A comprehensive analysis demonstrated that DATS inhibits the growth of I. destructans by activating detoxifying enzymes, such as GSTs, disrupting the equilibrium of redox reactions. A series of antioxidant amino acids were suppressed by DATS. Particularly noteworthy is the substantial depletion of glutathione by DATS, resulting in the accumulation of ROS, ultimately culminating in the inhibition of I. destructans growth. Briefly, DATS could effectively suppress soil-borne diseases by inhibiting pathogen growth through the activation of ROS, and it holds promise as a potential environmentally friendly soil disinfestation.

Abstract
In recent years, the field of Supramolecular Chemistry has witnessed tremendous progress owing to the development of versatile optical sensors for the detection of harmful biological analytes. Nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) is one such scaffold that has been exploited as fluorescent probes for selective recognition of harmful analytes and their optical imaging in various cell lines including HeLa, PC3, A549, SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231, HepG2, MFC-7, etc. The NBD-derived molecular probes are majorly synthesized from the chloro derivative of NBD via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. This general NBD moiety ligation method to nucleophiles has been leveraged to develop various derivatives for sensing analytes. NBD-derived probes are extensively used as optical sensors because of remarkable properties like excellent stability, large Stoke's shift, high efficiency and stability, visible excitation, easy use, low cost, and high quantum yield. This article reviewed NBD-based probes for the years 2017-2023 according to the sensing of analyte(s), including cations, anions, thiols, and small molecules like hydrogen sulfide. The sensing mechanism, designing of the probe, plausible binding mechanism, and biological application of chemosensors are summarized. The real-time application of optical sensors has been discussed by various methods, such as paper strips, molecular logic gates, smartphone detection, development of test kits, etc. This article will update the researchers with the in vivo and in vitro biological applicability of NBD-based molecular probes and challenges the research fraternity to design, propose, and develop better chemosensors in the future possessing commercial utility.

Abstract
The existing therapies for cancer are not remote satisfactory due to drug-resistance in tumors that are malignant. There is a pressing necessity to take a step forward to develop innovative therapies that can complement current ones. Multiple investigations have demonstrated that ferroptosis therapy, a non-apoptotic modality of programmed cell death, has tremendous potential in face of multiple crucial events, such as drug resistance and toxicity in aggressive malignancies. Recently, ferroptosis at the crosswalk of chemotherapy, materials science, immunotherapy, tumor microenvironment, and bionanotechnology has been presented to elucidate its therapeutic feasibility. Given the burgeoning progression of ferroptosis-based nanomedicine, the newest advancements in this field at the confluence of ferroptosis-inducers, nanotherapeutics, along with tumor microenvironment are given an overview. Here, the signaling pathways of ferroptosis-related were first talked about briefly. The emphasis discussion was placed on the pharmacological mechanisms and the nanodrugs design of ferroptosis inducing agents based on multiple distinct metabolism pathways. Additionally, a comprehensive overview of the action mechanisms by which the tumor microenvironment influences ferroptosis was elaborately descripted. Finally, some limitations of current researches and future research directions were also deliberately discussed to provide details about therapeutic avenues for ferroptosis-related diseases along with the design of anti-drugs.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death morphologically, genetically, and biochemically distinct from other cell death pathways and characterized by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides and oxidative damage. It is now understood that ferroptosis plays an essential role in various biological processes, especially in the metabolism of iron, lipids, and amino acids. Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignant tumor worldwide with low early diagnosis rates and high metastasis rates, accounting for its relatively poor prognosis. Although chemotherapy is commonly used to treat GC, drug resistance often leads to poor therapeutic outcomes. In the last several years, extensive research on ferroptosis has highlighted its significant potential in GC therapy, providing a promising strategy to address drug resistance associated with standard cancer therapies. In this review, we offer an extensive summary of the key regulatory factors related to the mechanisms underlying ferroptosis. Various inducers and inhibitors specifically targeting ferroptosis are uncovered. Additionally, we explore the prospective applications and outcomes of these agents in the field of GC therapy, emphasizing their capacity to improve the outcomes of this patient population.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and glutathione (GSH) play mutually regulating roles in the oxidant-antioxidant balance of organisms, which has a profound relationship with people's health and disease. In this study, we designed a two-photon fluorescent probe CD-NA that could simultaneously detect ONOO- and GSH via dual-fluorophore and dual-site properties. CD-NA shows different fluorescence responses to ONOO- (annihilated red fluorescence) and GSH (enhanced green emission) with high specificity and sensitivity. Notably, the response of CD-NA to ONOO- was unaffected by GSH, and the reverse is also true. It allows the ONOO-/GSH cross-talk to be successfully imaged. Given these excellent properties, CD-NA has been favorably employed in detecting ONOO- and GSH in living cells with the ability to target mitochondria. Therefore, CD-NA offers an efficient method for understanding the oxidant-antioxidant balance and interrelated physiological functions of ONOO- and GSH in living systems, and provides a new strategy to sort out the complex relationships and roles of various analytes in complex physiological processes.

Acta Biomater 2023; 166:470-484. [PMID: 37253416 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.05.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Metabolic dysregulation contributes not only to cancer development but also to a tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), which poses great challenges to chemo- and immunotherapy. Targeting metabolic reprogramming has recently emerged as a promising strategy for cancer treatment, but the lethality against solid tumors appears to be fairly restricted, partially due to the poor solubility of small molecule drugs. Herein, we construct a versatile biomimetic nanoplatform (referred to as HM-BPT) employing pH-sensitive tumor-tropism hybrid membrane-coated Manganese oxide (MnO2) nanoparticles for the delivery of BPTES, a glutamine metabolism inhibitor. Basically, hybrid membranes consisting of mesenchymal stem cell membranes (MSCm) and pH-sensitive liposomes (pSL) enable the biomimetic nanoplatform to target TME and escape from endo/lysosomes after endocytosis. The results reveal that HM-BPT treatment leads to remarkable tumor inhibition, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) infiltration, as well as M1 phenotype repolarization and stimulator of IFN genes (STING) pathway activation in macrophages in a 4T1 xenograft model. Furthermore, glutathione (GSH) depletion and oxygen (O2) supply synergistically ameliorate the immunosuppressive status of the TME, boosting potent antitumor immune responses. Overall, our study explores an integrated therapeutic platform for TME reprogramming and immune activation, offering tremendous promise for cancer combination therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Metabolic abnormalities and the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) lead to hyporesponsiveness to conventional therapies, ultimately resulting in refractory malignancies. In the current work, a biomimetic nanoplatform (HM-BPT) was developed for TME metabolic reprogramming in favor of immunotherapy. Particularly, hybrid membrane camouflage endowed the nanoplatform with TME targeting, endo/lysosomal escape, and sensitive release properties. The impact of hybrid membrane fusion ratio on cellular uptake and cell viability was explored, yielding beneficial references for the future development of bioactive nanomaterials. Intravenous administration of HM-BPT substantially relieved tumor burden and restored innate and acquired immune activation in 4T1 xenograft models. In conclusion, the created HM-BPT system has the potential to be a promising nanoplatform for combining cancer therapies.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death induced by excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation, has recently attracted extensive attention due to its ability to effectively suppress tumors and overcome drug resistance. Unlike previously reported metal nanomaterials that induce ferroptosis via the Fenton reaction, arsenene nanosheets can effectively deplete intracellular glutathione and then induce ferroptosis by inhibiting glutathione peroxidase 4. In this study, we designed target-modified arsenene nanosheets loaded with cisplatin (Her2-ANs@CDDP), which are capable of selective uptake by tumor cells. Her2-ANs@CDDP promotes both apoptosis and ferroptosis through a reciprocal cascade reaction between cisplatin and the carrier, respectively, and we demonstrate that it can significantly inhibit the activity of drug-resistant cells. Arsenene nanosheets kill drug-resistant tumor cells by inducing ferroptosis and restoring the sensitivity of drug-resistant cells to cisplatin. Cisplatin-loaded arsenene nanosheets can be prepared simply, and exert synergistic effects that overcome drug resistance. They show great potential for applications in the clinical treatment of chemotherapy-insensitive osteosarcoma, expanding the uses of arsenic in the treatment of solid tumors.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), the most prevalent nonprotein thiol in biological systems, acts as both an antioxidant to manipulate intracellular redox homeostasis and a nucleophile to detoxify xenobiotics. The fluctuation of GSH is closely related to the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. This work reports the construction of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution-type probe library based on the naphthalimide skeleton. After an initial evaluation, the compound R13 was identified as a highly efficient GSH fluorescent probe. Further studies demonstrate that R13 could readily quantify GSH in cells and tissues via a straightforward fluorometric assay with a comparable accuracy to the results from the HPLC. We then used R13 to quantify the content of GSH in mouse livers after X-ray irradiation, revealing that irradiation-induced oxidative stress leads to the increase of oxidized GSH (GSSG) and depletion of GSH. In addition, probe R13 was also applied to investigate the alteration of the GSH level in the Parkinson's mouse brains, showing a decrease of GSH and an increase of GSSG in Parkinson's mouse brains. The convenience of the probe in quantifying GSH in biological samples facilitates further understanding of the fluctuation of the GSH/GSSG ratio in diseases.

Abstract
As a reactive hydrogen species, the hydrogen radical (H⋅) scarcely sees applications in tumor biological therapy due to the very limited bio-friendly sources of H⋅. In this work, we report that TAF can act as an organic photosensitizer as well as an efficient photocatalytic H⋅ generator with reduced glutathione (GSH) as a fuel. The photoactivation of TAF leads to cell death in two ways including triple amplification of oxidative stress via ferroptosis-apoptosis under normoxia and apoptosis through biological reductions under hypoxia. TAF presents excellent biosafety with ultrahigh photocytotoxicity index at an order of magnitude of 102 -103 on both normoxic and hypoxic cells. The in vitro data suggest that H⋅ therapy is promising to overcome the challenge of tumor hypoxia at low doses of both photocatalyst and light. In addition, the capability of near-infrared two-photon excitation would benefit broad biological applications.

Abstract
As a momentous gas signal molecule, sulfur dioxide (SO2) participates in diverse physiological activities. Excess SO2 will cause an apparent decrease in the level of intracellular glutathione (GSH), thereby damaging the body's antioxidant defense system. In addition, endogenous SO2 can be generated from GSH by reacting with thiosulfate (S2O32-) and enzymatically reduced to cysteine (Cys), a synthetic precursor of GSH. In view of their close correlation, a two-photon (TP) mitochondria-targeted multifunctional fluorescence sensor Mito-Na-BP was rationally designed and synthesized for detecting SO2 and GSH simultaneously. Under single-wavelength excitation, the sensor responded to GSH-SO2 and SO2-GSH continuously with blue-shifted and green fluorescence-enhanced signal modes, respectively, not just to GSH (enhanced) and SO2 (quenched) at 638 nm with a completely converse response tendency. Given its favorable spectral performance (high sensitivity, superior selectivity, and fast response rate) at physiological pH, Mito-Na-BP has been successfully applied in monitoring the level fluctuation of GSH affected from high-dose SO2 and visualizing in real time the metabolic process of GSH to SO2 by TP imaging. It is expected that this research will provide a convenient and efficient tool for elucidating intricate relationships of GSH and SO2 and facilitate further exploration of their functions in biomedicine.

Abstract
The elevated glutathione (GSH) level in cancer cells contributes to the poor response to chemotherapy and necessitates the use of maximum tolerated drug doses, leading to myriad side effects. We have developed a biocompatible and fluorescently trackable nanosystem, iron(III)-bound nanocarbonaceous polyphenol (FeNCP), to modulate the available GSH pool in cancer cells for synergistic effects in treatments with a cytotoxic anticancer drug, doxorubicin (Dox). This nanosystem was designed using a nanoscale carbon system as a platform to generate a GSH-responsive gallic acid-iron complex. The effective interaction between FeNCP and GSH was probed in PBS (pH 7.4) and cell lysates using UV-Vis, fluorescence spectrophotometry, 1H NMR, flow cytometry, and confocal and transmission electron microscopic studies. The concurrent treatment of cancer cells with subcytotoxic FeNCP and Dox leads to dose reduction indices of Dox of ∼6.1 for HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma) and 6.7 for B16F0 (melanoma) to kill ∼50% of the cell population, which is suggestive of the requirement of a multifold lower dose of Dox. Notably, this combination was relatively more cytotoxic toward cancer cell lines than the model normal cell line, Vero. The increased reactive oxygen species levels in combinatorial treatment reveal that FeNCP serves as a potential candidate for modulating glutathione activity and potentiating cytotoxic effects of Dox. The intelligent multifold design of this nanosystem might enable the applicability in optical detection of GSH and imaging-assisted surgery in the future, in addition to the potential to advance treatment regimens in anticancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an emerging form of nonapoptotic cell death, and the search for novel ferroptosis inhibitors is of great importance to explore unique cytoprotective strategies against ferroptosis-relevant diseases. In this work, we present an endoplasmic reticulum-targeting fluorescent probe (ER-G) for the imaging of intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels and revealed the inhibition effect of rutin on ferroptosis. Structurally, ER-G utilized a cyclohexyl sulfonylurea as the endoplasmic reticulum-targeting unit, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that ER-G possessed a N-oxide pyridine sulfinyl group instead of sulfone. After the response of ER-G to GSH, the fluorescence intensity at 523 nm displayed a significant increase by 3900-fold. ER-G showed extreme sensitivity and selectivity to GSH. The fluorescence imaging results demonstrated that ER-G exhibited excellent endoplasmic reticulum-targeting properties and could be applied to monitor GSH levels in the endoplasmic reticulum during the erastin-induced ferroptosis process. By the fluorescence imaging of GSH levels in the endoplasmic reticulum, it was demonstrated that rutin could efficiently block the depletion of GSH during erastin-induced ferroptosis and potentially act as a novel ferroptosis inhibitor. Moreover, unlike traditional ferroptosis inhibitors, it was speculated that the inhibition mechanism of rutin to ferroptosis was the integration of the chelate effect on Fe(II) ions and antioxidant effect. We expect that fluorescence imaging of GSH levels in the endoplasmic reticulum could provide a convenient and feasible method to evaluate the inhibition effect of small molecules on ferroptosis.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) is intently related to tumor growth, progression and invasion, leading to drug resistance and insufficient therapeutic efficacy. However, remodeling TME and utilizing TME for exploring intelligent nanomaterials that can realize tumor theranostic is still challenging. Nowadays, the theranostic based on chemotherapy exposes some deficiencies, such as low targeting, weak permeability and premature clearance. Furthermore, it is challenging to cure drug-resistant tumors effectively. For the sake of solving these problems, a biomimetic decomposable nano-theranostic (MMV-Au-CDs-DOX) was well-established in this work. The Au-CDs are coated with macrophage-derived microvesicle to realize drug release accurately and enhance the biocompatibility of internal nanoparticles. Furthermore, MMV-Au-CDs-DOX would locate in the inflammation position of tumor, and disintegrate correspondingly into pieces with certain different functions stimulated by TME. Subsequently, the released anti-tumor nanodrugs were used for multimodal therapy, including chemotherapy and hemodynamic therapy. In addition, combined with the ability of Au-CDs to recognize GSH specifically, the off-on fluorescent probe was constructed to monitor the GSH of tumor cells and provided information on chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Chemodrug resistance is a major reason accounting for tumor recurrence. Given the mechanistic complexity of chemodrug resistance, molecular inhibitors and targeting drugs often fail to eliminate drug-resistant cancer cells, and sometimes even promote chemoresistance by activating alternative pathways. Here, by exploiting biochemical fragility of high-level but dynamically balanced cellular redox homeostasis in drug-resistant cancer cells, we design a nanosized copper/catechol-based metal-organic framework (CuHPT) that effectively disturbs this homeostasis tilting the balance toward oxidative stress. Within drug-resistant cells, CuHPT starts disassembly that is triggered by persistent consumption of cellular glutathione (GSH). CuHPT disassembly simultaneously releases two structural elements: catechol ligands and reductive copper ions (Cu+). Both of them cooperatively function to amplify the production of intracellular radical oxidative species (ROS) via auto-oxidation and Fenton-like reactions through exhausting GSH. By drastically heightening cellular oxidative stress, CuHPT exhibits selective and potent cytotoxicity to multiple drug-resistant cancer cells. Importantly, CuHPT effectively inhibits in vivo drug-resistant tumor growth and doubles the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. Thus, along with CuHPT's good biocompatibility, our biochemical, cell biological, preclinical animal model data provide compelling evidence supporting the notion that this copper-based MOF is a predesigned smart therapeutic against drug-resistant cancers through precisely deconstructing their redox homeostasis.

Abstract
1,8-Napthalimides (NIs) have been widely used as fluorescent molecules in biological, chemical, and medical fields because NIs shows high stability and various fluorescence properties under different conditions. However, NIs typically display a fluorescence emission wavelength in the range of 350 - 550 nm which can be notably interfered with by autofluorescence in living cells, significantly limiting their bio-applications. Moreover, low solubility in aqueous media is another major limitation for NIs. In this project, four derivatives of NIs (1-4) have been synthesized via an aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction and their photophysical properties have been investigated in various media (water, MeOH, MeCN, DMSO, EtOAc, and THF). All of these derivatives (1-4) show a long emission wavelength around 600 nm and high solubility in polar solvents. Particularly molecules (1-4) show the longest emission (624-629 nm) in water and the fluorescence intensity is not significantly varied in the range of pH 4-11. These unique features, long emission wavelength, high solubility, and high stability in difference pH media, will allow these derivative (1-4) to be used as excellent labeling reagents in the biological system.

Abstract
Chemoresistance is a major therapeutic obstacle in the treatment of breast cancer. Therefore, how to overcome chemoresistance is a problem to be solved. Here, a glutathione (GSH)/cathepsin B (CB) dual-controlled nanomedicine formed by cyclic disulfide-bridged peptide (cyclic-1a) as a potent anticancer agent is reported. Under the sequential treatment of GSH and CB, cyclic-1a can efficiently self-assemble into nanofibers. In vitro studies show that cyclic-1a promotes the apoptosis of MCF-7/DOX cells by inducing the cleavages of caspase-3 and PARP. In vivo studies confirm that cyclic-1a significantly inhibits the progression of MCF-7/DOX cells-derived xenograft in nude mice, with no obvious adverse reactions. This study provides a paradigm of GSH/CB dual-controlled nanomedicine for high-efficacy and low-toxic DOX-resistant breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a mainstream cancer treatment, but has a constant challenge of drug resistance, which consequently leads to poor prognosis in cancer treatment. For better understanding and effective treatment of drug-resistant cancer cells, omics approaches have been widely conducted in various forms. A notable use of omics data beyond routine data mining is to use them for computational modeling that allows generating useful predictions, such as drug responses and prognostic biomarkers. In particular, an increasing volume of omics data has facilitated the development of machine learning models. In this mini review, we highlight recent studies on the use of multi-omics data for studying drug-resistant cancer cells. We put a particular focus on studies that use computational models to characterize drug-resistant cancer cells, and to predict biomarkers and/or drug responses. Computational models covered in this mini review include network-based models, machine learning models and genome-scale metabolic models. We also provide perspectives on future research opportunities for combating drug-resistant cancer cells.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a newly recognized form of non-apoptotic cell death, has recently been introduced for effective cancer therapy. The reported ferroptosis-inducing nanomaterials mainly consisted of metal-based components. Herein, we designed an inorganic metal-free nanoplatform, PSMA-targeted arsenic nanosheets (PMANs), which simultaneously increased glutathione (GSH) consumption, suppressed solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione-dependent peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression, and promoted the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides (LPO). In addition, owing to the large surface area, PMANs efficiently transported doxorubicin (DOX) to prostate cancer for synergistic therapy. Surprisingly, we found that PMANs could sensitize prostate cancer cells to DOX through downregulating the expression of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), which further augmented the GPX4 downregulation-mediated ferroptotic tumoricidal effect. Given that arsenic trioxide has been routinely and successfully used in the clinical treatment of leukemia for a long time, we anticipate that PMANs will offer a promising strategy for prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract
The intrinsic poor solubility and limited load capacity of β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) results in reduced bioavailability, rendering the material unsuitable in complex biological environments. In this work, a pair of β-CDs was methylated and covalently linked with acid-sensitive acylhydrazone and GSH-sensitive disulfide bonds to ensure a precise drug release pattern. The hydrophobic anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox) was encapsulated inside the hydrophobic core of bis(β-CD) via hydrophobic association with loading capacity of 24% in weight and a hydrodynamic size of about 100 nm. When exposed to acidic and reductive environments, the acylhydrazone and disulfide bonds were found to be cleaved, resulting in Dox release. Using fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry analysis, the designed bis(β-CD) were determined to activate the drug release behavior by specific intracellular stimuli (pH and GSH). In vivo studies demonstrated specific drug delivery characteristics and controlled drug release behaviors in the tumor sites, giving rise to high antitumor activity and low toxicity. Taken in concert, this dual stimuli-responsive bis(β-CD) with superior amphiphilicity and biocompatibility features showed great potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
In order to evaluate 7-sulfonamide benzoxadiazole (SBD) derivatives for the development of fluorescent probes, herein we investigated the thiolysis reactivity and selectivity of a series of SBD compounds with different atoms (N/O/S/Se) at the 4-position. Both SBD-amine and SBD-ether are stable toward biothiols in buffer (pH 7.4), while SBD-selenoether can react efficiently with biothiols GSH/Hcy, Cys, and H2S to produce SBD-SG/S-Hcy, SBD-NH-Cys, and SBD-SH, respectively, with three different sets of spectral signals. Therefore, the SBD-selenoether compounds should be useful platforms for the differentiation of these biothiols. Though SBD-alkylthioether shows much lower reactivity than SBD-selenoether, SBD-arylthioether is a tunable motif and structural modifications at the aryl moiety enable the rate of thiol-mediated thiolysis to be modified. To this end, an ER-targeted GSH-selective fluorescent probe 7 was rationally designed via thiolysis of SBD-arylthioether. Compared with control probe SBD-Cl, probe 7 exhibits improved GSH selectivity and better biocompatibility. In total, this study highlights that the modification at the 4-position of SBD is an efficient strategy for the development of new fluorescent probes with tunable reactivity and selectivity.

Abstract
Abnormal concentrations of biothiols such as cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione are associated with various major diseases. In biological systems, the structural similarity and functional distinction of these three small molecular thiols has not only required rigorous molecular design of the fluorescent probes used to detect each thiol specifically, but it has also inspired scientists to uncover the ambiguous biological relationships between these bio-thiols. In this minireview, we will discuss the evolution of small organic molecular fluorescent probes for the detection of thiols over the past 60 years, highlighting the potent methodologies used in the design of thiol probes and their particular applications in the semi-quantification of cellular thiols and real-time labelling. At the same time, the present challenges that limit their further application will be discussed. We hope that this minireview will promote future research to enable deeper insight into the crucial role of thiols in biological systems. The chronological evolution of small organic molecular fluorescent probes for thiols: from separation dependency analysis to cellular specific analysis, what's next?![]()

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a second messenger playing crucial roles in the signaling of a variety of cellular functions. Due to its pathophysiological significance, various NO modulators have been developed to explore NO pathways and some have been used as therapies. These modulators are often used directly to observe pharmacological effects in cell lines, but their actual effect on intracellular NO level is seldom analyzed. Herein, facilitated by a selective and sensitive fluorescence probe, we observed that some NO modulators displayed unexpected behaviors with both NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor N(ω)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) failing to decrease intracellular free NO level in EA. hy926 cells while NO donor diethylamine-NONOate (DEA·NONOate) and eNOS activator calcimycin (A23187) failing to increase free NO level in human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (HUV-EC-C), although the reagents were confirmed to work normally in the primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (primary HUVECs) and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Further research suggested that these unusual behaviors might be attributed to the cellular microenvironments including both the NO synthase (NOS) level and the endogenous glutathione (GSH) level. Genetically manipulating eNOS level in both cells restores the expected response, while decreasing GSH level restores the ability of DEA·NONOate to increase NO level in HUV-EC-C. These results reveal that the cellular microenvironment has a profound impact on pharmacological effect. Our study suggests GSH as a reservoir for NO in live cells and highlights the value of chemical probes as valuable tools to reveal microenvironment-dependent pharmacological effects. An imaging based method for evaluating the efficacy of NO modulators in live cells was developed. Some NO modulators were observed yielding unexpected effects on cellular NO levels in some endothelial cell lines. Further study unveiled intracellular microenvironments have profound effects on the efficacy of NO modulators in live cells. This result highlights the pitfall of the specific cellular microenvironments on drug efficacy.

Abstract
We have constructed a novel gated nanocarrier for the real-time monitoring of drug release, consisting of three parts: (i) mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as the drug carrier, (ii) chitosan as the nanovalve to block and unlock the pores, and (iii) 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore as a connecting arm and fluorescent signal source. In the absence of glutathione (GSH), the integrity of the system results in the formation of pores in a closed state and the sulfone would block the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process, leading to no fluorescence emission. However, the nucleophilic attack of GSH can cause the removal of the chitosan and recovery of ICT property, thus triggering drug release and green fluorescence emission. The results demonstrate that the change of GSH concentration in vivo or vitro would lead to a change in drug release as well as a concurrent change in fluorescence signal, which can expand the application of our gated nanocarrier for monitoring different drug release in real time.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD), which is recognized as an important health problem worldwide, is a direct consequence of alcohol consumption, which can induce alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis and cirrhosis. P-Hydroxyacetophenone (p-HAP) is mainly used as a choleretic and hepatoprotective compound and has anti-hepatitis B, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. However, no experimental report has focused on p-HAP in ALD, and the effect and mechanism of p-HAP in ALD remain unknown. In addition, there is no research on p-HAP in the treatment of ALD. The potential molecular mechanisms of p-HAP against acute alcoholic liver injury remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether p-HAP alleviates ALD and to clarify the potential molecular mechanisms. Zebrafish larvae were soaked in 350 mmol/l ethanol for 32 h at 4 days post fertilization (dpf) and then treated with p-HAP for 48 h. We chose various outcome measures, such as liver histomorphological changes, antioxidation and antiapoptosis capability and expression of inflammation-related proteins, to elucidate the essential mechanism of p-HAP in the treatment of alcohol-induced liver damage. Subsequently, we applied pathological hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Nile red staining and oil red O staining to detect the histomorphological and lipid changes in liver tissues. We also used TUNEL staining, immunochemistry and Western blot analysis to reveal the changes in apoptosis- and inflammation-related proteins. In particular, we used a variety of fluorescent probes to detect the antioxidant capacity of p-HAP in live zebrafish larvae in vivo. In addition, we discovered that p-HAP treatment relieved alcoholic hepatic steatosis in a dose-dependent manner and that the 50 μM dose had the best therapeutic effect. Generally, this research indicated that p-HAP might reduce oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in vivo and in vitro via the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
The development of photochromic fluorescence sensors with dynamic and multiple-signaling is beneficial to the improvement of biosensing/imaging precision. However, elaborate designs with complicated molecular structures are always required to integrate these functions into one molecule. By taking advantages of both redox-active/high loading features of two-dimensional (2D) manganese dioxide (MnO2) and dynamic fluorescence photoswitching of photochromic sensors, we here design a hybrid photochromic MnO2 glycosheet (Glyco-DTE@MnO2) to achieve the photoswitchable imaging of intracellular glutathione (GSH). The photochromic glycosheet manifests significantly turn-on fluorescence and dynamic ON/OFF fluorescence signals in response to GSH, which makes it favorable for intracellular GSH double-check in targeted human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) through the recognition between β-D-galactoside and asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPr) on cell membranes. The dynamic fluorescence signals and excellent selectivity for detection and imaging of GSH ensure the precise determination of cell states, promoting its potential applications in future disease diagnosis and therapy.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2018; 32:1683-1692. [PMID: 30003601 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.8229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2018] [Revised: 06/20/2018] [Accepted: 06/29/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE Multidrug resistance (MDR) occurs frequently and is a major challenge in tumor treatment. The lipid composition in the cell membrane and the redox balance are closely associated with the development of MDR. Liquid extraction surface analysis in combination with mass spectrometry (LESA-MS) has the characteristics of minimal sample preparation, rapid analysis, high sensitivity and high throughput, and has obtained wide applications. METHODS LESA-MS was employed to in situ determine the lipids and other specific metabolites of intact MCF-7/ADR cells (adriamycin-resistant breast cancer cells) and its parental MCF-7/S cells grown on a glass slide. In situ atomic force microscopy was used to observe the morphology of tumor cells before and after extraction. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to investigate the potential lipid biomarkers correlated with the MDR. Moreover, the cell membrane fluidity and potential were determined. RESULTS The changes in the level of the lipids were closely correlated with the multidrug resistance of MCF-7/S cells. Moreover, lower cell membrane fluidity and higher cell membrane potential were observed and thus demonstrated the changes in the cell membrane induced by multidrug resistance. Also, the ratios of GSH/GSSG, ATP/ADP and ATP/AMP were significantly higher in MCF-7/ADR cells relative to MCF-7/S cells. CONCLUSIONS Lower cell membrane fluidity and higher cell membrane potential caused by the changes in lipid compositions, enhanced anti-oxidative ability and energy generation were involved in the development of the MDR. The specific alterations identified in this study may provide more information for overcoming MDR.

Abstract
Besides its widely known role as an endogenous antioxidant in scavenging free radicals, glutathione (GSH) can also play the role of prooxidant and promote CuO-induced formation of hydroxyl radicals to light up a fluorescent signal through Cu(i)-O2 chemistry without requiring additional H2O2. This approach is independent of the mechanisms of enzyme mimics, such as the well-known oxidase and peroxidase mimetics, providing a new method to simply and effectively analyze intracellular GSH.
