Abstract
Selenocysteine (SeCys) is the 21st genetically encoded amino acid present in proteins and is involved in various biological functions. Inappropriate levels of SeCys can be considered as a sign of various diseases. Therefore, small molecular fluorescent probes for the detection and imaging of SeCys in vivo in biological systems are considered to be of significant interest for understanding the physiological role of SeCys. Thus, this article mainly provides a critical evaluation of recent advances made in SeCys detection along with the biomedical applications based on small molecular fluorescent probes published in the literature during the past half a dozen years. Therefore, the article primarily deals with the rational design of fluorescent probes, wherein these were selective towards SeCys over other biologically abundant molecules, in particular the thiol-based ones. The detection has been monitored by different spectral techniques, such as fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy and in some cases even visual color changes. Further, the detection mechanism and the utility of fluorescent probes for in vitro and in vivo cell imaging applications are addressed. For clarity, the main features have been conveniently divided into four categories based on the chemical reactions of the probe, viz., in terms of the cleavage of the responsive group by the SeCys nucleophile: (i) 2,4-dinitrobene sulphonamide group, (ii) 2,4-dinitrobenesulfonate ester group, (iii) 2,4-dinitrobenzeneoxy group and (iv) miscellaneous types. Overall this article deals with the analysis of more than two dozen fluorescent probes demonstrated for selective detection of SeCys along with their applications towards disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Over the last few years, the development of fluorescent probes has received considerable attention. Fluorescence signaling allows noninvasive and harmless real-time imaging with great spectral resolution in living objects, which is extremely useful for modern biomedical applications. This review presents the basic photophysical principles and strategies for the rational design of fluorescent probes as visualization agents in medical diagnosis and drug delivery systems. Common photophysical phenomena, such as Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT), Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer (TICT), Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET), Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT), Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), and Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE), are described as platforms for fluorescence sensing and imaging in vivo and in vitro. The presented examples are focused on the visualization of pH, biologically important cations and anions, reactive oxygen species (ROS), viscosity, biomolecules, and enzymes that find application for diagnostic purposes. The general strategies regarding fluorescence probes as molecular logic devices and fluorescence–drug conjugates for theranostic and drug delivery systems are discussed. This work could be of help for researchers working in the field of fluorescence sensing compounds, molecular logic gates, and drug delivery.

Abstract
Liver injury can result from various risk factors including diabetes, virus, alcohol, drugs, and other toxins, which is mainly responsible for global mortality and morbidity. Selenocysteine (Sec), as the main undertaker of selenium function in the life system, features prominently in a series of hepatic injuries and has close association with the pathological progression of liver injuries. Here, we report a mitochondria-targetable lanthanide complex-based probe, Mito-NPTTA-Tb3+/Eu3+, that can be used for accurately determining Sec in live cells and laboratory animals via the ratiometric time-gated luminescence (TGL) technique. This probe is composed of 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine-Tb3+/Eu3+ mixed complexes as the luminophore, 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) as the responsive moiety and a lipophilic triphenylphosphonium cation (PPh3+) as the mitochondria-targeting moiety. Upon reaction with Sec, accompanied by the cleavage of DNP from the probe molecule, the I540/I690 ratio of the probe increased by 55 times, which enabled Sec to be detected with the ratiometric TGL method. After being incubated with living cells, the probe molecules were selectively accumulated in mitochondria to allow the mitochondrial Sec to be successfully imaged under the ratiometric TGL mode. Importantly, using this probe coupled with the ratiometric TGL imaging technique, the fluctuations of liver Sec in various liver injuries of model mice induced by diabetes, drug, toxin, and alcohol were precisely monitored, revealing that Sec plays an important antioxidant role during the oxidative stress process in liver injury, and the Sec levels have a close interrelationship with the degree of liver injury. All the results suggest that the new probe Mito-NPTTA-Tb3+/Eu3+ could be a potential tool for the accurate diagnosis of liver injury.

Abstract
Detection of selenocysteine (Sec) content in cells by fluorescence probe is of great significance for the identification of human related diseases. To achieve fast and sensitive detection of Sec, two isomers A4 and B4 as turn-on fluorescent probes to detect Sec were designed and synthesized. Both A4 and B4 display fast turn-on response, high selectivity and sensitivity toward Sec, which can be applied for fluorescence imaging of Sec in living cells. Compared with B4, A4 has a larger Stokes shift (125 nm), wider pH range (5-10) and lower detection limit (65.4 nM) due to its ESIPT (excited state intramolecular proton transfer) effect. In view of the detection performance of these two probes, they can be used as effective tools for detecting Sec in biological systems.

Abstract
Selenocysteine (Sec) is recognized as the 21st amino acid employing as an essential building block for selenoproteins (SePs), which plays a significant role in various physiological processes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reasonably develop some reliable and rapid methods for Sec detection in biological systems. In this work, we reported a new two-photon (TP) fluorescent probe BNT-Sec for Sec detection and imaging in living cells and zebrafish with two part: (1) a D-π-A-structured naphthalene derivative as a TP fluorophore; (2) a well-know Sec responsive site with strong intromolecular charge transfer effect (ICT) to selectively detect endogenous and exogenous. In the presence of Sec, probe BNT-Sec can initiate a Se-dependent specific aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction, which exhibited BNT-Sec had a large fluorescence intensity enhancement with ~18.9-fold at 510 nm, a high sensitivity low LOD value' 10.6 nM, good light stability, strong specificity, pH stability and low cytotoxicity. In addition, BNT-Sec can be conveniently used to detect Sec in living cells and zebrafish for TP imaging due to the great TP measurement properties of fluorophore, exhibiting it has the potential to reveal the role of selenocysteine in physiological and pathological processes in further biological applications.

Abstract
A naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe, Nap-I, with iodoacetamide as the alkylating group, has been synthesized, and its specific fluorescent staining of proteins containing cysteine (Cys) and selenocysteine (Sec) residues in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) has been evaluated. This molecule shows good fluorescence properties in the labeling of protein Cys/Sec residues, while reducing steric hindrance and minimizing changes in the water solubility of proteins. Reaction parameters, such as labeling time and pH, have been investigated, and the optimal labeling conditions for Cys-containing proteins have been determined. Thioredoxin reductase (TXNRD) is best stained at low pH. The probe Nap-I has been successfully used for the quantification of serum proteins and hemoglobin in Tan sheep serum, and TXNRD in Tan sheep liver and muscle has been labeled at low pH. Based on the probe Nap-I, we have also distinguished TXNRD1 and TXNRD2 by SDS-PAGE. The results showed that, compared with the normal microenvironment in which the protein resides, the lower the pH value, the greater the TXNRD activity.

Abstract
Since the fluctuation of cellular selenocysteine (Sec) concentration plays an all-important role in the development of numerous human disorders, the real-time fluorescence detection of Sec in living systems has attracted plenty of interest during the past decade. In order to obtain a faster and more sensitive small organic molecule fluorescence sensor for the Sec detection, a new ratiometric fluorescence sensor Q7 was designed based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy with coumarin fluorophore as energy donor and 4-hydroxy naphthalimide fluorophore (with 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonate as fluorescence signal quencher and Sec-selective recognition site) as an energy acceptor. The sensor Q7 exhibited only a blue fluorescence signal, and displayed two well distinguished emission bands (blue and green) in the presence of Sec with ∆λ of 68 nm. Moreover, concentrations ranging of quantitative detection of Sec of Q7 was from 0 to 45 μM (limit of detection = 6.9 nM), with rapid ratiometric response, high sensitivity and selectivity capability. Impressively, the results of the living cell imaging test demonstrated Q7 has the potentiality of being an ideal sensor for real-time Sec detection in biosystems.

Abstract
Bioselenols are important substances for the maintenance of physiological balance and offer anticancer properties; however, their causal mechanisms and effectiveness have not been assessed. One way to explore their physiological functions is the in vivo detection of bioselenols at the molecular level, and one of the most efficient ways to do so is to use fluorescent probes. Various types of bioselenol-specific fluorescent probes have been synthesized and optimized using chemical simulations and by improving biothiol fluorescent probes. Here, we review recent advances in bioselenol-specific fluorescent probes for selenocysteine (Sec), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), and hydrogen selenide (H2Se). In particular, the molecular design principles of different types of bioselenols, their corresponding sensing mechanisms, and imaging applications are summarized.

Abstract
In living cells, cysteine (Cys) and bisulfite are involved in many important physiological processes. Their unbalance in vivo would lead to multiple diseases. So, it is vital to develop difuntional sensor for Cys and bisulfite. As we known, cysteine could metabolized into bisulfite by the metabolic processes of cysteine in the animal level. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targeted long-wavelength ratio fluorescence sensor Z2 for Cys and bisulfite simultaneous detection. Z2 exhibitted excellent selectivity, good anti-interference, fast response and low detection limit. The sensor exhibited obviously two channels fluorescence response for Cys and bisulfite orderly. Z2 is widely used for imaging Cys and bisulfite in MCF-7 cells, zebrafish, and mice, and successfully imaging Cys metabolism in these livings. We hope this bifunctional ratio fluorescence sensor Z2 will be a useful tool to monitor Cys and SO2 levels in living systems.

Abstract
Selenium is a biologically essential micronutrient element serving as an essential building block for selenoproteins (SePs), which is playing a key role in various cellular functions. Hence, it is of great significance to developing a reliable and rapid method for detection of Sec in biosystems. Compared with the previously reported probes that have been developed for selective detection of Sec, two-photon (TP) ratiometric Sec-specific probes would be advantageous for the NIR excitation and built-in correction of the dual emission bands. To quantitatively and selectively detect Sec over biothiols with rapid and sensitive response, we for the first time report a new fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based TP ratiometric fluorescence probe CmNp-Sec, which was constructed by conjugating a TP fluorophore 6 (coumarin derivative with a D-π-A-structure) with a naphthalimide fluorophore 9 via a non-conjugated linker, and employed a 4-dinitrobenzene-ether (DNB) with a strong ICT effect as Sec responsive moiety. It exhibits quantitatively detect Sec in a wide range (0-50 μM) with a limit of detection of 7.88 nM within 10 min. More impressively, this probe can be conveniently used to detect Sec in living cells, tissues and zebrafish, demonstrating it has the latent capability in further biological applications.

Abstract
Selenocysteine (Sec), a vital member of reactive selenium species, is closely implicated in diverse pathophysiological states, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and male infertility. Monitoring Sec in vivo is of significant interest for understanding the physiological roles of Sec and the mechanisms of human diseases associated with abnormal levels of Sec. However, no bioluminescence probe for real-time monitoring of Sec in vivo has been reported. Herein, we present a novel bioluminescent probe BF-1 as an effective tool for the determination of Sec in living cells and in vivo for the first time. BF-1 has advantages of high sensitivity (a detection limit of 8 nM), remarkable bioluminescence enhancement (580-fold), reasonable selectivity, low cytotoxicity, and high signal-to-noise ratio imaging feasibility of Sec in living cells and mice. More importantly, BF-1 affords high sensitivity for monitoring Sec stimulated by Na2SeO3 in tumor-bearing mice. These results demonstrate that our new probe could serve as a powerful tool to selectively monitor Sec in vivo, thus providing a valuable approach for exploring the physiological and pathological functions and anticancer mechanisms of selenium.

Abstract
Selenocysteine (Sec) has proven to be the dominant active site of diverse selenoproteins that are directly linked with human health and disease. Thus, understanding the critical functions and dynamics of endogenous Sec at cellular and tissue levels is highly demanded. However, no method has been reported that is capable of providing reliable quantitative imaging analysis of Sec in living systems, especially in deep tissues, with low background signal and high sensitivity and imaging resolution simultaneously. To address this challenge, we herein report a novel class of engineered Sec-responsive fluorescent nanoprobes that combines two-photon excitation with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanisms for direct, yet selective, sensing and imaging of biological Sec over abundant competing biothiols. Specifically, the two-photon excitation at the near-infrared window can minimize light scattering and background signals in tissues, thus offering improved spatial and temporal imaging of deep living tissues with reduced background interference. Moreover, a reasonable FRET donor-acceptor pair has further been designed and verified by theoretical calculation. The acceptor undergoes intramolecular rearrangement specifically in response to the nucleophilic attack of Sec, hence triggering remarkable FRET-mediated ratiometric fluorescence enhancement for sensitive and reliable quantification of Sec through self-calibration of two emission channels. These striking properties, along with good water solubility and biocompatibility, suggest that this strategy may serve as a valuable imaging tool for studying various Sec-related biological events in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Monitoring the fluctuations of endogenous selenocysteine (Sec) in vivo is of significant interest to understand the physiological roles of Sec and the mechanisms of Sec-relevant diseases. Herein, a new near-infrared fluorescent probe, Fsec-1, has been developed for the determination of endogenous Sec in living cells and in vivo. Fsec-1 exhibits large fluorescence enhancement (136-fold) and a remarkably large Stokes shift (195 nm) when reacted with Sec. With the advantages of high sensitivity (a detection limit of 10 nM), good selectivity and low cytotoxicity, Fsec-1 was able to recognize both exogenous and endogenous Sec in living cells. The probe was also successfully applied in visualizing both exogenous and endogenous Sec in living mice. Notably, endogenously generated Sec in living tumors xenografted in nude mice was selectively detected by our reaction-based NIR probe for the first time. These results indicated that our new probe could serve as an efficient tool in monitoring endogenous Sec in vivo and exploring the anticancer mechanism of selenium.

Abstract
As important active sites of oxidoreductase in mitochondria, selenocysteine (Sec) takes the responsibility for cytoprotective effect and intracellular redox homeostasis. Carbon disulfide (CS2) is a common solvent in industry, which can inhibit the activities of oxidoreductase and induce oxidative stress. It is necessary to investigate the cytoprotective effect of Sec against CS2 exposure. After integrated, the response moiety 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamide and mitochondrial targeting moiety into the near-infrared heptamethine cyanine fluorophore, we develop a mitochondrial targeting near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent probe Mito- diNO2 for the selective and sensitive analysis of Sec concentration fluctuations in living cells and in mice models under the stimulation of CS2. The probe can effectively accumulate in mitochondria and selectively detect the endogenous Sec concentrations in BRL 3A, RH-35, HL-7702, HepG2, and SMMC-7721 cell lines. The results indicate that CS2 exposure can lead to a decrease of Sec level and result in mitochondrial related acute inflammation. The exogenous supplement of Sec can protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce the symptoms of inflammation. We also establish CS2 induced acute and chronic hepatitis mice models to examine the tissue toxicity of CS2 and cytoprotection of Sec in liver. The organism can increase the concentration of Sec to deal with the damage caused by CS2 in acute hepatitis mice model. Also the exogenous supplement of Sec for the two mice models can effectively defend the CS2 induced liver damage. The real-time imaging of Sec concentrations in liver can be used to assess the degrees of liver injury during CS2 poisoning. The above applications make our probe a potential candidate for the clinical accurate diagnosis and treatment of CS2 poisoning.

Abstract
Selenocysteine (Sec) is a primary kind of reactive selenium species in cells, and its vital roles in physiological processes have been featured. Thus, the development of highly sensitive and selective methods for the sensing of Sec is of great significance. This work reports a turn-on fluorescent probe for selenol based on the unique fluorescence OFF-ON switching between the Schiff base (SB) and its complementary protonated Schiff base (PSB) form of merocyanine dyes. The probe consists of a merocyanine Schiff base fluorophore and a 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamide moiety that reacts especially with selenol. The fluorescence turn-on response of MC-Sec is realized via the selective removal of the strongly electron withdrawing 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl group by Sec, leading to a shift in the p Ka of the imine nitrogen of the probe from 6.40 to 9.04 and thus significantly increasing the population of the fluorescent PSB form of the dye at physiological pH. MC-Sec shows good selectivity and sensitivity for Sec and has been applied in the imaging of exogenous and endogenous selenol in living cells by confocal fluorescence microscopy. The proposed mechanism should be useful for developing future probes directed to other target molecules by employing this simple but effective p Ka shift strategy.

Abstract
Biological thiols play important roles in maintaining appropriate redox status of organisms. Accepting the challenge to differentiate structurally similar cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy), we have successfully developed a miniature synthetic turn-on fluorescent probe based on 6-(2-benzothiazolyl)-2-naphthalenol for Cys. This probe is able to specifically react with Cys to yield its naphthalenol derivative, accompanied by remarkable green fluorescence enhancement with a detection limit of 14.8 nM. Besides, this probe displays much greater selectivity for Cys over other biological thiols, including homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Practically, good cell permeability and low cytotoxicity make it suitable for monitoring basal Cys in living cells. A turn-on fluorescent probe conjugating with a reactive acrylate for visualization of basal Cys specifically in living cells was developed.![]()
