Polysaccharide enabled biogenic fabrication of pH??sensing fluorescent gold nanoclusters as a biocompatible tumor imaging probe
摘要： A biocompatible natural polysaccharide (PSP001) isolated from the fruit rind of Punica granatum was conjugated with L-cysteine (Y) to be used as a skeleton for the fabrication of fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) represented as PSP-Y-AuNCs. With an average size of ~ 6 nm, PSP-Y-AuNCs demonstrated high quantum yield (31%), with a pH-sensitive fluorescence emission behavior. An emission maximum of 520 nm was obtained at acidic pH, which was blue shifted with increasing pH. This feature provides the possibilities for accurate ratiometric pH imaging. The PSP-Y-AuNCs not only demonstrated excellent biocompatibility with cancer cells and isolated peripheral lymphocytes and red blood cells but also demonstrated to be an active molecular imaging probe with appealing cellular uptake efficiency. The investigations with BALB/c mice further confirmed the non-toxic nature and in vivo imaging potential of the AuNCs. Estimation of the bio-distribution on solid tumor bearing syngeneic murine models revealed a tumor-targeted enhanced fluorescence emission pattern which is attributed to the pH responsive fluorescence behavior and the acidic microenvironment of the tumor. These findings were further confirmed with an impressive tumor accumulation pattern displayed in a xenograft of human cancer bearing nude mice. On account of their impressive biocompatibility and photophysical features, PSP-Y-AuNCs can exploited for the real-time fluorescence imaging of cancer tissues.

A dual-channel probe with green and near-infrared fluorescence changes for in vitro and in vivo detection of peroxynitrite
摘要： In this study, a coumarin-semirhodamine hybrid based dual-channel fluorescent probe was developed for detection of peroxynitrite. This probe works well in nearly pure aqueous solution and displays a rapid, highly sensitive and selective response for peroxynitrite at two different emission wavelengths (700 and 515 nm, respectively), along with distinct color and green to near-infrared fluorescence changes. The fluorescent intensity ratio at 700 and 515 nm increases linearly with the concentration of peroxynitrite from 0 to 50 μM, and the detection limit is estimated to be 59 nM. Moreover, bioimaging of exogenous and endogenous peroxynitrite in living cells and in vivo detection of peroxynitrite with this probe at dual fluorescence channels were all successfully applied. The results suggest that this new probe can be used as a useful imaging tool for studying peroxynitrite in vitro and in vivo.

In vivo confocal microscopy classification in the diagnosis of meibomian gland dysfunction
摘要： Aim Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is one of the most common disorders in ophthalmology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of this in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM)-MGD description to classify patients affected by clinical MGD and measure the correlation with standard clinical criteria and subjective symptoms. Methods One hundred eyes of 100 patients suffering from MGD and 15 eyes of normal subjects were included. A comprehensive evaluation with the ocular surface disease index (OSDI), Schirmer test, tear break-up time (TBUT), tear osmolarity, Oxford score, Meibomian gland expression, palpebral IVCM, and meibography was performed. Then each patient was classi?ed using a new IVCM classi?cation: type 0 for normality, type 1 for meibum obstruction, type 2 for in?ammation, and type 3 for ?brosis. Results The mean age of patients was 52 ± 20 years old, the OSDI was 38 ± 23, the BUT 5 ± 2.6 s, the Schirmer test 13 ± 7 mm, tear osmolarity 300 ± 11 osmol/L, the Oxford score 0.5 ± 0.6, the meibum expression score 1.7 ± 1.02, and the meibography score 1.3 ± 0.9. The IVCM MG classi?cation of the 15 normal subjects was 0. For MGD patients, 29% were in type 1, 40% were type 2, and 31% were type 3. The patients in IVCM MG type 2 had a higher OSDI (p = 0.001) compared with the other types. There was a strong correlation between the IVCM score and the meibography score (r = 0.71 p < 0.0001). Conclusion This new IVCM classi?cation provided a practical pathophysiological system for MGD. By giving objective criteria, this IVCM classi?cation may help advance the understanding of patients’ symptoms and enhance treatment effectiveness in MGD.

Therapeutic Fluorescent Hybrid Nanoparticles for Traceable Delivery of Glucocorticoids to Inflammatory Sites
摘要： Treatment of inflammatory disorders with glucocorticoids (GCs) is often accompanied by severe adverse effects. Application of GCs via nanoparticles (NPs), especially those using simple formulations, could possibly improve their delivery to sites of inflammation and therefore their efficacy, minimising the required dose and thus reducing side effects. Here, we present the evaluation of NPs composed of GC betamethasone phosphate (BMP) and the fluorescent dye DY-647 (BMP-IOH-NPs) for improved treatment of inflammation with simultaneous in vivo monitoring of NP delivery. Methods: BMP-IOH-NP uptake by MH-S macrophages was analysed by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated cells were treated for 48 h with BMP-IOH-NPs (1×10-5-1×10-9 M), BMP or dexamethasone (Dexa). Drug efficacy was assessed by measurement of interleukin 6. Mice with Zymosan-A-induced paw inflammation were intraperitoneally treated with BMP-IOH-NPs (10 mg/kg) and mice with ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic airway inflammation (AAI) were treated intranasally with BMP-IOH-NPs, BMP or Dexa (each 2.5 mg/kg). Efficacy was assessed in vivo by paw volume measurements with μCT and ex vivo by measurement of paw weight for Zymosan-A-treated mice, or in the AAI model by in vivo x-ray-based lung function assessment and by cell counts in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and histology. Delivery of BMP-IOH-NPs to the lungs of AAI mice was monitored by in vivo optical imaging and by fluorescence microscopy. Results: Uptake of BMP-IOH-NPs by MH-S cells was observed during the first 10 min of incubation, with the NP load increasing over time. The anti-inflammatory effect of BMP-IOH-NPs in vitro was dose dependent and higher than that of Dexa or free BMP, confirming efficient release of the drug. In vivo, Zymosan-A-induced paw inflammation was significantly reduced in mice treated with BMP-IOH-NPs. AAI mice that received BMP-IOH-NPs or Dexa but not BMP revealed significantly decreased eosinophil numbers in BALs and reduced immune cell infiltration in lungs. Correspondingly, lung function parameters, which were strongly affected in non-treated AAI mice, were unaffected in AAI mice treated with BMP-IOH-NPs and resembled those of healthy animals. Accumulation of BMP-IOH-NPs within the lungs of AAI mice was detectable by optical imaging for at least 4 h in vivo, where they were preferentially taken up by peribronchial and alveolar M2 macrophages. Conclusion: Our results show that BMP-IOH-NPs can effectively be applied in therapy of inflammatory diseases with at least equal efficacy as the gold standard Dexa, while their delivery can be simultaneously tracked in vivo by fluorescence imaging. BMP-IOH-NPs thus have the potential to reach clinical applications.

Shell-free Copper Indium Sulfide Quantum Dots Induce Toxicity <i>In Vitro</i> and <i>In Vivo</i>
摘要： Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are attractive fluorescent contrast agents for in vivo imaging due to their superior photophysical properties, but traditional QDs comprise toxic materials such as cadmium or lead. Copper indium sulfide (CuInS2, CIS) QDs have been posited as a non-toxic and potentially clinically translatable alternative; however, previous in vivo studies utilized particles with a passivating zinc sulfide (ZnS) shell, limiting direct evidence of the biocompatibility of the underlying CIS. For the first time, we assess the biodistribution and toxicity of unshelled CIS and partially zinc-alloyed CISZ QDs in a murine model. We show that bare CIS QDs breakdown quickly, inducing significant toxicity as seen in organ weight, blood chemistry, and histology. CISZ demonstrate significant, but lower, toxicity compared to bare CIS, while our measurements of core/shell CIS/ZnS are consistent with literature reports of general biocompatibility. In vitro cytotoxicity is dose-dependent on the amount of metal released due to particle degradation, linking degradation to toxicity. These results challenge the assumption that removing heavy metals necessarily reduces toxicity: indeed, we find comparable in vitro cytotoxicity between CIS and CdSe QDs, while CIS caused severe toxicity in vivo compared to CdSe. In addition to highlighting the complexity of nanotoxicity and the differences between the in vitro and in vivo outcomes, these unexpected results serve as a reminder of the importance of assessing the biocompatibility of core QDs absent the protective ZnS shell when making specific claims of compositional biocompatibility.

Phospholipid imaging of zebrafish exposed to fipronil using atmospheric pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry
摘要： Mass spectrometry imaging can effectively detect and reflect the information of molecular spatial distribution, and has been widely used for in situ analysis of endogenous or exogenous molecules in organisms. The present work applied the atmospheric pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (AP-MALDI-MS) in the imaging of whole zebrafish slices exposed to fipronil. The chemical fingerprints in the range of m/z 600-950 showed significant differences in phospholipids between the fipronil exposed and untreated zebrafish groups. The major perturbed phospholipids were identified as PC(34:2), PC(34:1), PC(34:2)+Na, PC(36:4), PC(38:6), and PS(18:0/22:6), PI(18:0/20:4), PI(18:1/20:4) etc. Our results indicated that the exposure of fipronil obviously affected the phospholipid metabolism of zebrafish, especially of the fish eye region. Our work provides a new method or possibility for toxicological study and related metabolic analysis of pesticides in animals.

Bionanosensor based on N-doped graphene quantum dots coupled with CoOOH nanosheets and their application for in vivo analysis of ascorbic acid
摘要： Herein, we employ 3D nitrogen-doped porous graphene frameworks (3D NPG) as raw material to prepare emissive nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (r-NGQDs) via chemical oxidation method. The as-prepared fluorescent r-NGQDs was integrated with CoOOH nanosheets to construct a sensing platform for in vivo ascorbic acid (AA) analysis. Initially, the fluorescence emission intensity of r-NGQDs was quenched by CoOOH nanosheets based on the inner filter effect (IFE). Then the quenched intensity of r-NGQDs and CoOOH nanosheets system was enlightened by the addition of AA, since AA could consume CoOOH nanosheets through redox reaction, leading to the release of r-NGQDs and fluorescence restoration. Moreover, the restored fluorescence intensity of r-NGQDs is highly dependent on the concentration of AA which endows them as a quantitative analysis of AA with a limit of detection (LOD) reach up to1.85 μM (n = 3) in aqueous solution. Finally, the as constructed bionanosensor was further employed for in vivo analysis of AA in living rat brain microdialysate with basal value up to 9.4 ± 1.4 μM (n = 3).
