Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) is highly prevalent in the modern technological world. Emerging evidence shows that sleep deprivation is associated with oxidative stress. At the organelle level, the Golgi apparatus actively participates in the stress response. In this study, to determine whether SD and Golgi apparatus stress are correlated, we rationally designed and fabricated a novel Golgi apparatus-targeted ratiometric nanoprobe called Golgi dots for O2·- detection. This probe exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity in cells and brain slices of sleep-deprived mice. Golgi dots can be readily synthesized by coprecipitation of Golgi-F127, an amphiphilic polymer F127 modified with a Golgi apparatus targeting moiety, caffeic acid (CA), the responsive unit for O2·-, and red emissive carbon nanodots (CDs), which act as the reference signal. The fluorescence emission spectrum of the developed nanoprobe showed an intense peak at 674 nm, accompanied by a shoulder peak at 485 nm. As O2·- was gradually added, the fluorescence at 485 nm continuously increased; in contrast, the emission intensity at 674 nm assigned to the CDs remained constant, resulting in the ratiometric sensing of O2·-. The present ratiometric nanoprobe showed high selectivity for O2·- monitoring due to the specific recognition of O2·- by CA. Moreover, the Golgi dots exhibited good linearity with respect to the O2·- concentration within 5 to 40 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was ~ 0.13 μM. Additionally, the Golgi dots showed low cytotoxicity and an ability to target the Golgi apparatus. Inspired by these excellent properties, we then applied the Golgi dots to successfully monitor exogenous and endogenous O2·- levels within the Golgi apparatus. Importantly, with the help of Golgi dots, we determined that SD substantially elevated O2·- levels in the brain.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. The clinical symptoms of PD are usually related to motor symptoms, including postural instability, rigidity, bradykinesia, and resting tremors. At present, the pathology of PD is not yet clear. Therefore, revealing the underlying pathological mechanism of PD is of great significance. A variety of bioactive molecules are produced during the onset of Parkinson's, and these bioactive molecules may be a key factor in the development of Parkinson's. The emerging fluorescence imaging technology has good sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio, making it possible to deeply understand the pathogenesis of PD through these bioactive molecules. Currently, fluorescent probes targeting PD biomarkers are widely developed and applied. This article categorizes and summarizes fluorescent probes based on different PD biomarkers, systematically introduces their applications in the pathological process of PD, and finally briefly elaborates on the challenges and prospects of these probes. We hope that this review will provide in-depth reference insights for designing fluorescent probes, and contribute to study of the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of PD.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly reactive signaling molecule involved in diverse biological processes. Simultaneous profiling of NO and associated metabolic fingerprints in a single assay allows more accurate assessments of cell states and offers the possibility to better understand its exact biological roles. Herein, a multiplexing LC-MS workflow was established for simultaneous detection of intracellular NO and various metabolites based on a novel "iridium signature" mass spectrometric probe (Ir-MSP841). This Ir-MSP841 can convert highly liable NO to a stable permanently charged triazole product (Ir-TP852), enabling direct MS detection of NO. This 191/193Ir-signature mass spectrometric probe-based approach is endowed with overwhelming advantages of interference-free, high quantitative accuracy, and great sensitivity (limit of detection down to 0.14 nM). It also reveals good linearity over a wide concentration range 12.5-500 nM and has been successfully employed for exploring the release behaviors of three representative NO donors in cells. Meanwhile, metabolic profiling results reveal that varying the concentrations of NO has distinct effects on various cellular metabolites. This study provides a robust, sensitive, and versatile method for simultaneous detection of NO and numerous metabolites in a single LC-MS run and expands its applications in biomedical research.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cellular demise, characterized by the accumulation of intracellular oxidative stress that is dependent on iron. Ferroptosis plays a crucial role not only in the development and treatment of tumors but also in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and illnesses related to ischemia-reperfusion injury. This mode of cell death possesses distinctive properties that differentiate it from other forms of cell death, including unique morphological changes at both the cellular and subcellular levels, as well as molecular features that can be detected using specific methods. The use of fluorescent probes has become an invaluable means of detecting ferroptosis, owing to their high sensitivity, real-time in situ monitoring capabilities, and minimal damage to biological samples. This review comprehensively elucidates the physiological mechanisms underlying ferroptosis, while also detailing the development of fluorescent probes capable of detecting ferroptosis-related active species across various cellular compartments, including organelles, the nucleus, and the cell membrane. Additionally, the review explores how the dynamic changes and location of active species from different cellular compartments can influence the ignition and execution of ferroptotic cell death. Finally, we discuss the future challenges and opportunities for imaging ferroptosis. We believe that this review will not only aid in the elucidation of ferroptosis's physiological mechanisms but also facilitate the identification of novel treatment targets and means of accurately diagnosing and treating ferroptosis-related diseases.

Abstract
The genetically encoded fluorescent sensors convert chemical and physical signals into light. They are powerful tools for the visualisation of physiological processes in living cells and freely moving animals. The fluorescent protein is the reporter module of a genetically encoded biosensor. In this study, we first review the history of the fluorescent protein in full emission spectra on a structural basis. Then, we discuss the design of the genetically encoded biosensor. Finally, we briefly review several major types of genetically encoded biosensors that are currently widely used based on their design and molecular targets, which may be useful for the future design of fluorescent biosensors.

Abstract
Analyzing the complex structures and functions of brain is the key issue to understanding the physiological and pathological processes. Although neuronal morphology and local distribution of neurons/blood vessels in the brain have been known, the subcellular structures of cells remain challenging, especially in the live brain. In addition, the complicated brain functions involve numerous functional molecules, but the concentrations, distributions and interactions of these molecules in the brain are still poorly understood. In this review, frontier techniques available for multiscale structure imaging from organelles to the whole brain are first overviewed, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), serial-section electron microscopy (ssEM), light microscopy (LM) and synchrotron-based X-ray microscopy (XRM). Specially, XRM for three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale brain tissue with high resolution and fast imaging speed is highlighted. Additionally, the development of elegant methods for acquisition of brain functions from electrical/chemical signals in the brain is outlined. In particular, the new electrophysiology technologies for neural recordings at the single-neuron level and in the brain are also summarized. We also focus on the construction of electrochemical probes based on dual-recognition strategy and surface/interface chemistry for determination of chemical species in the brain with high selectivity and long-term stability, as well as electrochemophysiological microarray for simultaneously recording of electrochemical and electrophysiological signals in the brain. Moreover, the recent development of brain MRI probes with high contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and sensitivity based on hyperpolarized techniques and multi-nuclear chemistry is introduced. Furthermore, multiple optical probes and instruments, especially the optophysiological Raman probes and fiber Raman photometry, for imaging and biosensing in live brain are emphasized. Finally, a brief perspective on existing challenges and further research development is provided.

Abstract
The fabrication of multifunctional photosensitizers (PSs) with abundant Type I/II ROS for efficient theranostics in the "therapeutic window" (700-900 nm) is an appealing yet significantly challenging task. We herein report a molecular tailoring strategy based on intramolecular two-photon Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (TP-FRET) to obtain a novel theranostic agent (Lyso-FRET), featuring the amplified advantage of energy donor (NH) and acceptor (COOH), because of the reuse of fluorescence energy with high efficiency of FRET (∼83%). Importantly, under the excitation by the near-infrared (840 nm) window, Lyso-FRET can not only penetrate the deeper tissue with a higher resolution for fluorescence imaging due to the nonlinear optical (NLO) nature, but also generate more Type I (superoxide anion) and Type II (singlet oxygen) reactive oxygen species for hypoxic PDT. Moreover, Lyso-FRET targeting lysosomes further promotes the effect of treatment. The experiments in vitro and in vivo also verify that the developed TP-FRET PS is conducive to treating deep hypoxic tumors. This strategy provides new and significant insights into the design and fabrication of advanced multifunctional PSs.

Abstract
Energy deprivation and reduced levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the brain is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is currently no fluorescent probe for precise exploration of both H2S and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to directly demonstrate their relationship and their dynamic pattern changes. Herein, we developed a two-photon fluorescent probe, named AD-3, to simultaneously image endogenous H2S and ATP from two emission channels of fluorescent signals in live rat brains with AD. The probe achieved excellent selectivity and good detection linearity for H2S in the 0-100 μM concentration range and ATP in the 2-5 mM concentration range, respectively, with a detection limit of 0.19 μM for H2S and 0.01 mM for ATP. Fluorescence imaging in live cells reveals that such probe could successfully apply for simultaneous imaging and accurate quantification of H2S and ATP in neuronal cells. Further using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blots, we confirmed that H2S regulates ATP synthesis by acting on cytochrome C, cytochrome oxidase subunit 3 of complex IV, and protein 6 of complex I in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Subsequently, we constructed a high-throughput screening platform based on AD-3 probe to rapidly screen the potential anti-AD drugs to control glutamate-stimulated oxidative stress associated with abnormal H2S and ATP levels. Significantly, AD-3 probe was found capable of imaging of H2S and ATP in APP/PS1 mice, and the concentration of H2S and ATP in the AD mouse brain was found to be lower than that in wild-type mice.

[PMID: 35878461 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.07.095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest organelle in eukaryotic cells and plays a variety of functions in living cells include protein folding, calcium homeostasis, and lipid biosynthesis. Normal function of ER is crucial for cell survival, while disequilibrium of ER can cause misfolding of proteins and ER stress, leading to many serious diseases. It has been documented that ER stress is closely related to the metabolism of Cu2+, as ER is the main intracellular accumulation space of Cu2+ and toxic reactive oxygen species can be generated by Cu2+ via Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions. In this context, developing a powerful tool capable of selective and sensitive monitoring of Cu2+ in ER and investigating its role in physiological and pathological processes is of great importance. Herein, we report the first ER targeted near infrared (NIR) nanosensor, polymer dots encapsulated with NIR hydrophobic carbon nanodots, for detecting Cu2+ in biosystems. This nanosensor with stable fluorescence showed a fast response toward Cu2+ (120 s) and can be used for the quantification of Cu2+ in a linear range covering from 0.25 to 9.0 μM with a detection limit of 13 nM. In addition, the fluorescence variations of the nanosensor are remarkably specific to Cu2+ in comparison with the other metal ions and amino acids. Moreover, the developed nanosensor exhibited low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, and ER targeting ability. Because of these excellent spectroscopic features, the nanosensor was successfully utilized for visualizing Cu2+ fluctuations at the living cell, zebrafish and mouse levels, which further proved its potential application in biological systems.
