Abstract
In this study, a lysosomal targeting fluorescent probe recognition on CEs was designed and synthesized. The obtained probe BF2-cur-Mor demonstrated excellent selectivity, sensitivity, pH-independence, and enzyme affinity towards CEs within 5 min. BF2-cur-Mor could enable recognition of intracellular CEs and elucidate that the CEs content of different cancer cells follows the rule of HepG2 > HCT-116 > A549 > HeLa, and the CEs expression level of hepatoma cancer cells far exceeds that of normal hepatic cells, being in good agreement with the previous reports. The ability of BF2-cur-Mor to monitor CEs in vivo was confirmed by zebrafish experiment. BF2-cur-Mor exhibits some pharmacological activity in that it can induce apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells but is weaker in normal hepatocyte cells, being expected to be a potential "diagnostic and therapeutic integration" tool for the clinical diagnosis of CEs-related diseases.

Jiao X, Wang Y, Zhang J, Wang X. Combination of two-photon fluorescent probes for carboxylesterase and ONOO - to visualize the transformation of nonalcoholic fatty liver to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in liver orthotopic imaging. Talanta 2024; 270:125521. [PMID: 38091750 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125521] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
As the most common cause of liver diseases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can be classified into nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). While NAFL is generally benign, the transition from NAFL to NASH is a cardinal feature of the non-benign liver disease that leads to cirrhosis and cancer, which indicates that tracking the transformation of NAFL to NASH timely is significant for precision management of liver diseases. Therefore, two fluorescent probes (CNFCl and DRNO) have been developed to visualize this pathological event. α-Fluorochloroacetamide and α-ketoamide was employed as the recognition site for carboxylesterase (CE) in CNFCl and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in DRNO, respectively. CNFCl (λem = 445 nm) and DRNO (λem = 560 nm) showed high specificity and sensitivity towards CE and ONOO- respectively. By incubating with CE/ONOO- for 0.5 h respectively, both the emission intensity of CNFCl (linear range: 0-0.2 U/mL) and DRNO (linear range: 0-17.5 μM) displayed significant enhancement. As a result, the detection limit of CNFCl and DRNO for CE and ONOO- was calculated as 4.2 mU/L and 0.05 μM respectively. More importantly, the emission spectra of CNFCl and DRNO in the presence of CE and ONOO- respectively were cross-talk free under the two-photon excitation of 720 nm. This greatly facilitated the simultaneous detection of CE and ONOO- at distinctive channel, thus ensuring the high fidelity of the detection. These two probes were combined to image the fluctuation of CE and ONOO- during the conversion of NAFL to NASH in vitro and in vivo. It was found that while CE displayed a tendency to rise and then reduce during the transition from NAFL to NASH, ONOO- increased continuously, confirming that the combined imaging by CNFCl and DRNO might visualize the transformation of NAFL to NASH. The results provide robust visual tool to decipher the relationship between the stage of NAFLD and the level of CE/ONOO-. We anticipate this study may open new avenues to distinguish NASH from NAFL, which may further promote the study of intracellular biological activities of CE and the development of NAFLD diagnostic methods.

Visualization of production and remediation of acetaminophen-induced liver injury by a carboxylesterase-2 enzyme-activatable near-infrared fluorescent probe. Talanta 2024; 269:125418.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose, also known as APAP poisoning, may directly result in hepatic injury, acute liver failure and even death. Nowadays, APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) has become an urgent public health issue in the developing world so the early accurate diagnosis and the revelation of underlying molecular mechanism of AILI are of great significance. As a major detoxifying organ, liver is responsible for metabolizing chemical substances, in which human carboxylesterase-2 (CES2) is present. Hence, we chose CES2 as an effective biomarker for evaluating AILI. By developing a CES2-activatable and water-soluble fluorescent probe PFQ-E with superior affinity (Km = 5.9 μM), great sensitivity (limit of detection = 1.05 ng/mL), near-infrared emission (655 nm) and large Stokes shift (135 nm), activity and distribution of CES2 in cells were determined or imaged effectively. More importantly, the APAP-induced hepatotoxicity and the underlying molecular mechanism of pathogenesis of AILI were investigated by measuring the "light-up" response of PFQ-E towards endogenous CES2 in vivo for the first time. Based on the superior performance of the probe PFQ-E for sensing CES2, we believe that it has broad potential in clinical diagnosis and therapy response evaluation of AILI.

Abstract
In vivo selective fluorescence imaging of carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) remains a great challenge because existing fluorescence probes can potentially suffer from interference by other hydrolases. In addition, some fluorescent probes that have been separately reported for measuring CES2 activity in vitro are affected by autofluorescence and absorption of the biological matrix due to their limited emission wavelength or short Stokes shift. Herein, based on the substrate preference and catalytic performance of CES2, a novel and NIR fluorescent probe was developed, in which a hemi-cyanine dye ester derivative was used as the basic fluorescent group. In the presence of CES2, the probe was hydrolyzed to expose the fluorophore CZX-OH (λabs ∼ 675 nm, λem ∼ 850 nm), which led to a notable red-shift in the fluorescence (∼175 nm) spectrum. Confocal imaging of cells and live mice demonstrated that the fluorescent signal of this probe was related to the real activities of CES2 in cancer cells. All these results will powerfully promote the screening of CES2 regulators and the analysis of CES2-related physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Phototheranostic probes have been proven to be a promising option for cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, near-infrared phototheranostic probes with specific tumor microenvironment responsiveness are still in demand. In this paper, a carboxylesterase (CES)-responsive near-infrared phototheranostic probe was developed by incorporating 6-acetamidohexanoic acid into a hemicyanine dye through an ester bond. The probe exhibits highly sensitive and selective fluorescence enhancement towards CES because CES-catalyzed cleavage of the ester bond leads to the release of the fluorophore. By virtue of its near-infrared analytical wavelengths and high sensitivity, the probe has been employed for endogenous CES activatable fluorescence imaging of tumor cells. Moreover, under 660 nm laser irradiation, the probe can generate toxic reactive oxygen species and efficiently kill tumor cells, with low cytotoxicity in dark. As far as we know, the probe was the first CES-responsive phototheranostic probe with both near-infrared analytical wavelengths and photosensitive capacity, which may be useful in the real-time and in situ imaging of CES as well as imaging-guided photodynamic therapy of tumors. Therefore, the proposed probe may have wide application prospect in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
An indene-chalcone-based fluorescence probe 1 was synthesized and characterized. Under physiological conditions (containing 5% DMSO), probe 1 showed satisfactory stability with a low background signal and recognized carboxylesterases (CEs) based on the catalytic hydrolysis of ester groups, releasing a significant green fluorescence. Probe 1 presents several features including a short response time (within 20 min), low detection limit (1.3 × 10-4 U/mL) and large stokes shift (over 155 nm). Notably, commercial lysosomal dye co-staining experiments illustrated the lysosomal localization function of 1, with the probe also being used for cell and zebrafish imaging of endogenous CEs.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a high mortality rate worldwide. The therapeutic outcomes can be significantly improved if diagnosis and treatment are initiated earlier in the disease process. Recently, the carboxylesterase (CaE) activity/level in human plasma was reported to be a novel serological biomarker candidate for HCC. In this article, we fabricated a new fluorescent probe with AIE characteristics for the rapid detection of CaE with a more reliable ratiometric response mode. The TCFISE probe showed high sensitivity (LOD: 93.0 μU/mL) and selectivity toward CaE. Furthermore, the good pH stability, superior resistance against photobleaching, and low cytotoxicity highlight the high potential of the TCFISE probe for application in the monitoring of CaE activity in complex biological samples and in live cells, tissues, and animals.

Abstract
The assessment of unregulated level of enzyme activity is a crucial parameter for early diagnoses in a wide range of pathologies. In this study, we propose the use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) as an easy method to probe carboxylesterase (CE) enzymatic activity in vitro. For this application, were synthesized two amphiphilic, nitroxide containing esters, namely Tempo‐C12 (T‐C12) and Tempo‐2‐C12 (T‐2‐C12). They exhibit low solubility in water and form stable micelles in which the radicals are EPR almost silent, but the hydrolysis of the ester bond yields narrows and intense EPR signals. The intensity of the EPR signals is proportional to the enzymatic activity. CEs1, CEs2 and esterase from porcine liver (PLE) were investigated. The obtained results show that T‐C12 and T‐2‐C12‐containing systems display a much higher selectivity toward the CEs2, with a Limit of Detection of the same order of those ones obtained with optical methods.

Abstract
Drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs), a diverse group of enzymes responsible for the metabolic elimination of drugs and other xenobiotics, have been recognized as the critical determinants to drug safety and efficacy. Deciphering and understanding the key roles of individual DMEs in drug metabolism and toxicity, as well as characterizing the interactions of central DMEs with xenobiotics require reliable, practical and highly specific tools for sensing the activities of these enzymes in biological systems. In the last few decades, the scientists have developed a variety of optical substrates for sensing human DMEs, parts of them have been successfully used for studying target enzyme(s) in tissue preparations and living systems. Herein, molecular design principals and recent advances in the development and applications of optical substrates for human DMEs have been reviewed systematically. Furthermore, the challenges and future perspectives in this field are also highlighted. The presented information offers a group of practical approaches and imaging tools for sensing DMEs activities in complex biological systems, which strongly facilitates high-throughput screening the modulators of target DMEs and studies on drug/herb‒drug interactions, as well as promotes the fundamental researches for exploring the relevance of DMEs to human diseases and drug treatment outcomes.

Aiming to understand the in-solution behaviour of these first-in-class complexes containing the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor dichloroacetate (dca) as the terminal bioactive substituent, several experiments were performed under aqueous conditions for Rudca and Irdca, as well as for compounds [Ru(η6-pcym)(bpyOH)Cl]PF6 (RuOH) and [Ir(η5-Cp*)(bpyOH)Cl]PF6 (IrOH), and acetyl analogues [Ru(η6-pcym)(bpyac)Cl]PF6 (Ruac) and [Ir(η5-Cp*)(bpyac)Cl]PF6 (Irac) bearing a different (biologically inactive) terminal substituent; bpyOH = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-diyldimethanol, bpyac = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-diyldimethanediyl diacetate. The experiments were also conducted in the presence of porcine liver esterase (PLE). All the six complexes were characterized by relevant techniques (e.g., NMR and mass spectrometry), including a single-crystal X-ray analysis of complexes Rudca, Ruac, RuOH and IrOH. Although designed as model compounds, Rudca, Irdca, RuOH and IrOH were also screened for their antiproliferative activity in four human cancer cell lines (HCT116 colon carcinoma, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast adenocarcinomas, DU145 prostate carcinoma), where the tested complexes did not show any effect (IC50 > 100 μM).

Abstract
Although carbon dots (CDs) have been synthesized and applied in a variety of biological fields, such as disease diagnosis and gene/drug delivery, the exploration of facile bioinspired synthesis and applications of CDs is still of great significance. Particularly, recent increasing research has clearly confirmed that nanomaterials can affect a series of physiological behaviors and functions of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (e.g., differentiation and pluripotency). Therefore, it is very important to develop multifunctional nanomaterials to simultaneously realize the cellular labelling and regulation of MSC behaviors in practical applications. Herein, sulfonated glycosaminoglycan-bioinspired CDs as bi-functional nanomaterials were ingeniously designed for cellular imaging and promoting the differentiation of rat bone MSCs (rBMSCs) in different culture media, which simultaneously met the two fundamental requirements in the field of MSC-based treatments (e.g., precisely directing the differentiation of MSCs and effective cellular labeling). These bifunctional CDs were successfully prepared via one-pot hydrothermal synthesis by using d-glucosamine hydrochloride (GA·HCl) and sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS) as the reactants. The synthesized CDs with a uniform particle size (around 4 nm) dispersed well in aqueous solutions and exhibited remarkable fluorescence stability under different conditions. Additionally, cell viability and proliferation results demonstrated that the CDs possessed good biocompatibility, having negligible effects on the self-renewal potential of rBMSCs. The as-prepared CDs presented a cytoplasmatic distribution after being ingested by rBMSCs; thus, they are particularly suitable for cellular imaging. More importantly, the addition of CDs to osteogenic and chondrogenic induction media (OIM and CIM), respectively, was capable of effectively promoting the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of rBMSCs due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) while having no influence on their pluripotency. In brief, this study not only implements a cellular labeling method based on CDs that were synthesized by a biomimicking strategy, but also paves a new way to regulate the differentiation of MSCs by designing multifunctional nanomaterials; this will enable the extensive development of facile synthesis methods and new applications of CDs and will also provide some research foundations for MSC-based fields.

Abstract
Enzyme regulation is crucial in living organisms to catalyze various biosyntheses to maintain several physiological functions. On the contrary, abnormal enzyme activities can affect bioactivities leading to various serious disorders including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, and so on. This biological significance led to the development of various techniques to map specific enzyme activities in living systems to understand their role and distribution. Two-photon microscopy (TPM) in particular has emerged as a promising system for in situ real-time bioimaging owing to its robustness, high sensitivity, and noninvasiveness. It was achieved through the use of a two-photon (TP) light source of an optical window (700-1450 nm) beneficial in deeper light penetration and extraordinary spatial selectivity. Therefore, developing enzyme sensors utilized in TPM has significance in obtaining in vivo enzyme activities with minimal perturbation. The development of an efficient detection tool for enzymes has been continuously reported in the previous literature; here, we meticulously review the TP design strategies that have been attempted by researchers to develop enzyme TP fluorescent sensors that are proving very useful in providing insights for enzyme investigation in the biological system. In this review, the representative TP enzymatic probes that have been made in the past 5 years and their applications in tissue imaging are discussed in brief. In addition, the prospects and challenges of TP enzymatic probe development are also discussed.

Abstract
Herein, a lysosomal targeting LysFP@ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF) was fabricated using fluorescent protein chromophore-based probe (LysFP) for selectively detection of carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) in living cells. Unlike the regular small molecule fluorescent probes, LysFP@ZIF-8 showed wide range pH tolerabiligy, high selectivity and sensitivity to CES1 in bio-samples, and was successfully applied to achieve the visual monitoring of CES1 activity in living cells. Low detection limit and high fluorescence quantum yield was calculated as 79 ng/mL and 0.76 for LysFP@ZIF-8, respectively. Furthermore, LysFP@ZIF-8 can also serve as a fluorescence indicator of organophosphates pesticide exposure in the way of hydrolyzing the carboxylic acid ester group in LysFP. This type of probe can inspire the development of fluorescent tools for further explore many pathological processes.

Abstract
Designing fluorescent probe for detecting carboxylesterase 1 is remains challenging. Herein, a red emission human carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) probe (CAE-FP) was synthesized based on fluorescent protein chromophore. Probe CAE-FP can specific detect human CES1 with high selectively. The fluorescence quantum yield was calucated as 0.19. The carboxylic acid ester in CAE-FP could be easily hydrolyzed by CES1 under physiological conditions, and this process could induce the obvious fluorescence signal in red emission region. The detection limit of CES1 was calculated as 84.5 ng/mL. Due to the biological detoxification mechanism of carboxylesterase and the obvious inhibitory effect of pesticides on its activity, CAE-FP was applied to detect carbamate pesticide and have achieved good application results. Since fluorescent protein chromophore has excellent biocompatibility, probe CAE-FP with good cell membrane permeable and was successfully applied to monitor the real activities of CES1 in living cells. In summary, this is one of the few reported fluorescent probes that can specific detect the real-time activity of CES1 in biological samples. Besides, we first applied the fluorescent protein chromophore to construct the specific target enzyme probe. This work would contribute to further investigate CES1-associated physiological and pathological processe.

Abstract
Two-photon microscopy (TPM) techniques have been highlighted over the past two decades throughout various fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. In particular, the two-photon near-infrared excitation of fluorophores or molecular probes emitting fluorescence have ushered in a new biomedical era, specifically in the deep-tissue imaging of biologically relevant species. Non-linear two-photon optics enables the development of 3D fluorescence images via focal point excitation of biological samples with low photo-damage and photo-bleaching. Many studies have disclosed the relationship between the chemical structure of fluorophores and their two-photon absorbing properties. In this review, we have summarized the recent advances in two-photon absorbing probes based on a functionalized electron donor (D)-acceptor (A) type dipolar naphthalene platform (FDNP) that was previously reported between 2015 and 2019. Our systematic outline of the synthesis, photophysical properties, and examples of two-photon imaging applications will provide useful context for the future development of new naphthalene backbone-based two-photon probes.

Subsequent functionalization with a diorganotin(iv) compound, SnPh2Cl2 (1), and with two titanocene derivatives, TiCp2Cl2 ([Ti(η5-C5H5)2Cl2] (2)) and TiCpCpPhNfCl2 ([Ti(η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4CHPhNf)Cl2] (3) (Ph = C6H5; Nf = C10H7)), gave the materials SBA-PADO-SnPh2 (M1), SBA-PADO-TiCp2 (M2) and SBA-PADO-TiCpCp* (M3), respectively. SBA-PADOH and M1-M3 have been characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, XRF, solid-state NMR, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, electrochemical methods, SEM and TEM, observing that the functionalization has mainly taken place inside the pores of the corresponding porous system. In addition, mechanistic aspects of the apoptosis triggered by the synthesized materials have been studied in vitro in tumour cell lines derived from three distinct types of cancer in order to elucidate their growth inhibition and interference with the expression of tumour necrosis factor alfa (TNF-α) and the first apoptosis signal receptor (Fas or tumour necrosis factor receptor 6). It was observed that the antiproliferative and proapoptotic capacity of the materials depends on their functionalization with the different cytotoxic prodrugs (organotin or titanocene derivatives). The study shows that M1-M3 influence the metabolic activity of the tumour cells and modulate the apoptotic pathways by different mechanisms, according to the active compound inside the material.
