Abstract
Studying the oxidative stress, especially the reactive oxygen species (ROS) response of ferroptosis, is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer based on ferroptosis. However, reliable quantitative analysis of intracellular ROS in cancer treatment for drug screening is still a challenge. Herein, a superior ratiometric SERS nanoprobe was developed for in situ, real-time, and highly sensitive detection of content variation of H2O2 within living cells. The SERS nanoprobe was prepared by coassembly of the internal standard molecule p-mercaptobenzonitrile and the reporter molecule p-mercaptophenylboronic acid on the surface of gold nanoparticles, used for synergistic calibration and detection of H2O2, which enables reliable detection of the true content of intracellular H2O2 without the interference of other substances in cells. Based on the nanoprobe, we found that the level of intracellular H2O2 of cancer cells was increased after the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) treatment, with a dose-dependence to the concentration of NADH. High doses of NADH (above 20 mM) can induce cell death by means of ferroptosis associated with the level elevation of intracellular lipid hydroperoxides. This study highlights the potential of the SERS nanoprobe for tracking content variation of cellular H2O2 and understanding its roles in screening new anticancer drugs.

Ghosh S, Lai JY. Recent advances in the design of intracellular pH sensing nanoprobes based on organic and inorganic materials. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:117089. [PMID: 37683789 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
In the biological system, the intracellular pH (pHi) plays an important role in regulating diverse physiological activities, including enzymatic action, ion transport, cell proliferation, metabolism, and programmed cell death. The monitoring of pH inside living cells is also crucial for studying cellular events such as phagocytosis, endocytosis, and receptor-ligand internalization. Furthermore, some organelles, viz., endosomes and lysosomes, have intracompartmental pH, which is critical for maintaining the stability of protein structure and function. The dysfunction and abnormal pH regulation can result in terminal diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer, and so forth. Therefore, the accuracy of intracellular pH measurement is always the top priority and demands cutting-edge research and analysis. Such techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence imaging, preferably use nanotechnology due to their remarkable advantages, such as a non-invasive approach and providing accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility. In the past decades, there have been numerous attempts to design and construct non-invasive organic and inorganic materials-based nanoprobes for pHi sensing. For Raman-based techniques, metal nanostructures such as Au/Ag/Cu nanoparticles are utilized to enhance the signal intensity. As for the fluorescence-based studies, the organic-based small molecules, such as dyes, show higher sensitivity toward pH. However, they possess several drawbacks, including high photobleaching rate, and autofluorescence background signals. To this end, there are alternative nanomaterials proposed, including semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), carbon QDs, upconversion nanoparticles, and so forth. Moreover, the fluorescence technique allows for ratiometric measurement of pHi, which as a result, offers a reliable calibration curve. This timely review will critically examine the current progression in the existing nanoprobes. In addition, based on our knowledge and available research findings, we provide a brief future outlook that may advance the state-of-the-art methodologies for pHi sensing.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) significantly influence their deposition at the disease site, ultimately impacting the overall therapeutic efficacy; however, precisely assessing the effects of various factors on NP accumulation within a single cell/tumor tissue is challenging due to the lack of appropriate labeling techniques. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) tag is a powerful encoding method that has recently been intensively employed for immunodetection of biomarkers. Herein, we introduce a multiplexed SERS tracking approach for systematic investigation of size-dependent accumulation and distribution of NPs within the same tumor. Four-sized (34, 60, 108, and 147 nm) NPs encoded with different SERS "colors" were fabricated, mixed, and incubated with monolayer tumor cells, multicellular tumor spheroids, or injected into mouse models bearing xenograft solid tumors in a single dose. Multicolor SERS detection of the specimens revealed that NP accumulation in tumor cells, tumor spheroids, and solid tumors was in the order of 34 nm > 60 nm > 108 nm > 147 nm, 60 nm > 34 nm > 108 nm > 147 nm, and 34 nm > 147 nm > 108 nm > 60 nm, respectively. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy determination performed in parallel samples were in alignment with the four-color SERS probing results, demonstrating the effectiveness of this multiplexed evaluation assay. Furthermore, in combination with fluorescence labeling of specific biomolecules, this method can be applied for the colocalization of different NPs in various pathological structures and provide additional information for analysis of the possible mechanisms.

Abstract
The fabrication of electroactive nanostructures with high electron concentration and specific electron transport is crucial for electrochemical sensing. In this study, a plasmon-enhanced electrochemical sensor has been developed for the detection of extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from cancer cells, utilizing Pd-tipped Au nanobipyramids (PTA NBPs) as the electrocatalysts. Plasmonic PTA NBPs were synthesized by depositing Pd nanoparticles onto the tips of Au nanobipyramids (Au NBPs). Under excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), the PTA NBPs generate high-energy electron-hole pairs (e-/h+) on their surface. The generated electrons (e-) significantly enhance the electrochemical reduction of H2O2. Based on this, a plasmon-enhanced H2O2 electrochemical sensor is constructed with high sensitivity (986.57 μA mM-1 cm-2), low detection limit (0.02 μM), wide linear range (0.1 μM to 980 μM), and good stability and repeatability. Moreover, this sensor also enables the measurement of extracellular H2O2 derived from cancer cells (MCF-7), highlighting its potential applications in cellular biology and biomedical research.

Abstract
The variation of tumor-associated metabolites in extracellular microenvironment timely reflects the development, the progression and the treatment of cancers. Conventional methods for metabolite detection lack the efficiency to grasp the dynamic metabolic alterations. Herein, we developed a SERS bionic taster which enabled real-time analysis of extracellular metabolites. The instant information of cell metabolism was provided by the responsive Raman reporters, which experienced SERS spectral changes upon metabolite activation. Such a SERS sensor was integrated into a 3D-printed fixture which fits the commercial-standard cell culture dishes, allowing in-situ acquisition of the vibrational spectrum. The SERS taster can not only accomplish simultaneous and quantitative analysis of multiple tumor-associated metabolites, but also fulfill the dynamic monitoring of cellular metabolic reprogramming, which is expected to become a promising tool for investigating cancer biology and therapeutics.

Abstract
Surveillance of iodine intake is important because either inadequate or excessive amount of iodine may lead to thyroid malfunctions. Herein, we report a method for fast iodide quantification based on a plasmonic hot electron-driven chemical reaction, which occurs on Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) coated with p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP) molecules. Upon resonant light illumination, hot electron-hole pairs are generated in the NPs. The hot holes capture iodide ions (I-) and form AgI which decomposes under light; while the hot electrons are shifted to the electron orbital (LUMO) of PNTP and trigger its reduction to p-aminothiophenol (PATP). By measuring characteristic surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) peaks of PNTP and PATP, the concentration of I- in water can be quantitatively determined, with a linear response in the 0.5-20 μM range and a detection limit of 0.30 μM. The Au@Ag nanosensor was then applied for I- detection in various biofluids including urine, serum and saliva, exhibiting superior detection sensitivity and high selectivity. This sensing assay requires a small sample volume of ∼10 μL and completes the entire detection process in ∼2 min, and therefore holds significant potential for application in point-of-care settings.

Abstract
The simultaneous and accurate detection of intracellular pH (pHi) and extracellular pH (pHe) is essential for studying the complex physiological activities of cancer cells and exploring pH-related therapeutic mechanisms. Here, we developed a super-long silver nanowire-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection strategy for simultaneous sensing of pHi and pHe. A surface-roughened silver nanowire (AgNW) with a high aspect ratio is prepared at a nanoelectrode tip using a Cu-mediated oxidation process, which is then modified by pH-sensitive 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) to form 4-MBA@AgNW as a pH sensing probe. With the assistance of a 4D microcontroller, 4-MBA@AgNW is efficient in simultaneously detecting pHi and pHe in both 2D and 3D culture cancer cells by SERS, with minimal invasiveness, high sensitivity, and spatial resolution. Further investigation proves that the surface-roughened single AgNW can also be used in monitoring the dynamic variation of pHi and pHe of cancer cells upon stimulation with anticancer drugs or under a hypoxic environment.

Abstract
The accurate and sensitive detection of biomolecules by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is possible, but remains challenging due to the interference from biomolecules in complex samples. Herein, a new SERS sensor is developed for background-free detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with an ultralow detection limit (1 × 10-10 mol/L), using a Raman-silent strategy. The Au microparticles (Au-RSMPs) resembling rose-stones are devised as SERS substrates with a high enhancement effect, and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) is selected as an H2O2-responsive Raman reporter. Upon the reaction with H2O2, the phenylboronic group of 4-MPBA was converted to a phenol group, which subsequently reacted with 4-diazonium-phenylalkyne (4-DP), an alkyne-carrying molecule via the azo reaction. The formed product exhibits an intense and sharp SERS signal in the Raman-silent region, avoiding interference of impurities and biomolecules. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we show that this SERS sensor possesses significant merits towards the determination of H2O2 in terms of broad linear range, low limit of detection, and high selectivity, showing promise for the quantitative analysis of H2O2 in complicated biological samples.

Abstract
Continuous long-term intracellular imaging and multiplexed monitoring of biomolecular changes associated with key cellular processes remains a challenge for the scientific community. Recently, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been demonstrated as a powerful spectroscopic tool in the field of biology owing to its significant advantages. Some of these include the ability to provide molecule-specific information with exquisite sensitivity, working with small volumes of precious samples, real-time monitoring, and optimal optical contrast. More importantly, the availability of a large number of novel Raman reporters with narrower full width at half maximum (FWHM) of spectral peaks/vibrational modes than conventional fluorophores has created a versatile palette of SERS-based probes that allow targeted multiplex sensing surpassing the detection sensitivity of even fluorescent probes. Due to its nondestructive nature, its applicability has been recognized for biological sensing, molecular imaging, and dynamic monitoring of complex intracellular processes. We critically discuss recent developments in this area with a focus on different applications where SERS has been used for obtaining information that remains elusive for conventional imaging methods. Current reports indicate that SERS has made significant inroads in the field of biology and has the potential to be used for in vivo human applications. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been widely applied in many fields as a sensitive vibrational fingerprint technique. However, SERS faces challenges in quantitative analysis due to the heterogeneity of hot spots. An internal standard (IS) strategy has been employed for correcting the variation of hot spots. However, the method suffers from limitations due to the competitive adsorption between the IS and the target analyte. In this work, we combined the IS strategy with the 3D hybrid nanostructures to develop a bifunctional SERS substrate. The substrate had two functional units. The bottom self-assembly layer consisted of Au@IS@SiO2 nanoparticles, which provided a stable reference signal and functioned as the calibration unit. The top one consisted of appropriate-sized Au octahedrons for the detection of target analytes, which was the detection unit. Within the 3D hybrid nanostructure, the calibration unit improved the SERS performance of the detection unit, which was demonstrated by the 6-fold increase of SERS intensity when compared with the 2D substrate. Meanwhile, the reproducibility of the detection was greatly improved by correcting the hot spot changes through the calibration unit. Two biomedical molecules of cotinine and creatinine in ultrapure water and artificial urine, respectively, were sensitively determined by the 3D hybrid substrate. We expect that the developed bifunctional 3D substrate will open up new ways to advance the applications of SERS.

[PMID: 35590891 PMCID: PMC9101113 DOI: 10.3390/s22093202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The detection of hydrogen peroxide and the control of its concentration are important tasks in the biological and chemical sciences. In this paper, we developed a simple and quantitative method for the non-enzymatic detection of H2O2 based on the selective etching of Au@Ag nanorods with embedded Raman active molecules. The transfer of electrons between silver atoms and hydrogen peroxide enhances the oxidation reaction, and the Ag shell around the Au nanorod gradually dissolves. This leads to a change in the color of the nanoparticle colloid, a shift in LSPR, and a decrease in the SERS response from molecules embedded between the Au core and Ag shell. In our study, we compared the sensitivity of these readouts for nanoparticles with different Ag shell morphology. We found that triangle core-shell nanoparticles exhibited the highest sensitivity, with a detection limit of 10-4 M, and the SERS detection range of 1 × 10-4 to 2 × 10-2 M. In addition, a colorimetric strategy was applied to fabricate a simple indicator paper sensor for fast detection of hydrogen peroxide in liquids. In this case, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide was qualitatively determined by the change in the color of the nanoparticles deposited on the nitrocellulose membrane.

Abstract
Putrescine and cadaverine are toxic biogenic amines in spoiled food, which poses a serious threat to food security. In this work, we reported a highly sensitive three-dimensional (3D)-rosettelike surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate functionalized with a p-mercaptobenzoic acid (p-MBA) monolayer to detect liquid and gaseous putrescine and cadaverine in pork samples. The SERS substrate was made by a combination of the merit of the 3D morphology of ZnO nanorod arrays on a flexible porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane and the in situ chemical growth of Au nanoparticle seeds on Au film-coated ZnO nanorods, which produced a 3D-rosettelike BigAuNP/Au/ZnO/P heterostructure with abundant SERS-active hot spots that significantly enhanced the localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) effect and charge-transfer (CT) effect of Raman enhancement. This SERS substrate showed high sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, and uniformity. With the p-MBA molecular monolayer as the sensing interface, our SERS substrate realized the highly sensitive and quantitative detection of liquid putrescine and cadaverine within 10 min, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.2 × 10-16 and 1.6 × 10-13 M, respectively. Additionally, the sensor showed efficient SERS responses to gaseous amine molecules at low concentrations (putrescine: 1.26 × 10-9 M, cadaverine: 2.5 × 10-9 M). Further, the sensor was successfully applied to determine the total content of putrescine and cadaverine. Moreover, the practicability of this SERS sensor was verified by the measurement of liquid and gaseous amines in pork samples, and it showed great potential applications for sensitive detection of food spoilage.

Abstract
As a core hallmark of cancer, metabolic reprogramming alters the metabolic networks of cancer cells to meet their insatiable appetite for energy and nutrient. Tumor-associated metabolites, the products of metabolic reprogramming, are valuable in evaluating tumor occurrence and progress timely and accurately because their concentration variations usually happen earlier than the aberrances demonstrated in tissue structure and function. As an optical spectroscopic technique, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) offers advantages in imaging tumor-associated metabolites, including ultrahigh sensitivity, high specificity, multiplexing capacity, and uncompromised signal intensity. This review first highlights recent advances in the development of stimuli-responsive SERS probes. Then the mechanisms leading to the responsive SERS signal triggered by tumor metabolites are summarized. Furthermore, biomedical applications of these responsive SERS probes, such as the image-guided tumor surgery and liquid biopsy examination for tumor molecular typing, are summarized. Finally, the challenges and prospects of the responsive SERS probes for clinical translation are also discussed.

Abstract
A new and simple surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor based on the tyramine signal amplification (TSA)-triggered formation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) repeats on a gold sensing chip was designed for the highly sensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Initially, gold wafers were functionalized with HRP as sensing chips. Then, the HRP immobilized on the chips triggers the TSA reaction to transform the tyramine-HRP conjugate into a tyramine-HRP repeat array. With the aid of the target H2O2, the HRP repeats catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and produce an enzyme catalytic product with a different chemical structure, thus altering the fingerprint of the SERS spectra from that of OPD. H2O2 can be quantitatively analyzed according to the change in SERS signal intensity. On the basis of the TSA strategy, the proposed method allows the detection of H2O2 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.8 × 10-8 M. The as-prepared SERS sensor can achieve high-sensitivity H2O2 detection with a small amount of sample for each analysis. Therefore, this sensor exhibits significant potential for application in bioanalysis.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria and their metabolites are the leading risk factor in food safety and are one of the major threats to human health because of the capability of triggering diseases with high morbidity and mortality. Nano-optical sensors for bacteria sensing have been greatly explored with the emergence of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. In addition, with the rapid development of cross fusion technology, other technologies integrated nano-optical sensors show great potential in bacterial and their metabolites sensing. This review focus on nano-optical strategies for bacteria and their metabolites sensing in the field of food safety; based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), fluorescence, and colorimetric biosensors, and their integration with the microfluidic platform, electrochemical platform, and nucleic acid amplification platform in the recent three years. Compared with the traditional techniques, nano optical-based sensors have greatly improved the sensitivity with reduced detection time and cost. However, challenges remain for the simple fabrication of biosensors and their practical application in complex matrices. Thus, bringing out improvements or novelty in the pretreatment methods will be a trend in the upcoming future.

Abstract
The value of pH in various parts of protoplasm can affect nearly all aspects of cell functions. Therefore, the determination of intracellular acid-base features is required in many areas of biological and biochemical studies. Because of a significant scientific importance of in vivo intracellular pH measurements, various groups carried out such experiments. In this review article we describe intracellular pH measurements using two the most sensitive optical spectroscopies: surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and fluorescence. It is reasonable to present these two techniques in one review article because the experimental approach in Raman and fluorescence experiments is relatively similar. The basic theoretical background explaining the mechanism of operation of fluorescence and SERS sensors are discussed and the motivations to carry out intracellular pH measurements are briefly described. Future perspectives in this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Developing ideal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is significant in biological detection. Compared with free non-aggregated noble metal nanoparticles, loading metal nanoparticles on a large matrix can achieve a higher SERS effect due to the existence of many “hot spots”. A novel SERS substrate with intense “hot spots” was prepared through reducing gold ions with silicon nanocrystal containing polymer microspheres. The substrate exhibits high SERS sensitivity with an enhancement factor of 5.4 × 107. By applying 4-mercaptopyridine as a Raman reporter, the developed SERS substrate can realize measurement of pH values. The intensity ratio of 1574 to 1607 cm−1 of 4-mercaptopyridine showed excellent pH sensitivity, which increased as the surrounding pH increased. With good stability and reliability, the pH sensor is promising in the design of biological detection devices.

Abstract
Molecular specific and highly sensitive detection is the driving force of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) community. The technique opens the window to the undisturbed monitoring of cellular processes in situ or to the quantification of small molecular species that do not deliver Raman signals. The smart design of molecular SERS nanosensors makes it possible to indirectly but specifically detect, e.g. reactive oxygen species, carbon monoxide or potentially toxic metal ions. Detection schemes evolved over the years from simple metallic colloidal nanoparticles functionalized with sensing molecules that show uncontrolled aggregation to complex nanostructures with magnetic properties making the analysis of complex environmental samples possible. The present article gives the readership an overview of the present research advancements in the field of molecular SERS sensors, highlighting future trends.
