A highly selective “turn-on” fluorescent probe for detecting Cu2+ in two different sensing mechanisms
摘要： A new coumarin-derived hydrazone (1) has been developed as a “turn-on” fluorescent probe for the detection of Cu2+ in two different sensing mechanisms. In anhydrous acetonitrile, the strong fluorescence response of 1 to Cu2+ was mainly attributed to the chelation-controlled C=N isomerisation. Besides, S-donor is indispensable in protecting from the Cu2+-induced fluorescence quenching. In aqueous acetonitrile, 1 as a chemodosimeter can highly selectively sense of Cu2+, which was ascribed to the Cu2+-promoted cyclization reaction affording the strong fluorescent cyclization product (2). The proposed cyclization reaction was confirmed by the single-crystal structure of 2. Furthermore, 1 was utilized for imaging intracellular Cu2+ with good performance.

Fe <sup>3+</sup> -SELECTIVE ENHANCED FLUORESCENCE PROBE BASED ON A RHODAMINE DERIVATIVE
摘要： A novel Fe3+-selective and turn-on fluorescent probe 1 incorporating a rhodamine fluorophore and quinoline subunit was synthesized. Probe 1 displayed high selectivity for Fe3+ in CH3CN–H2O (95:5 v/v) in the presence of other relevant metal cations. Interaction with Fe3+ in 1:1 stoichiometry could trigger a significant fluorescence enhancement due to the formation of the ring-open form. The fluorescent response images were investigated by a novel Euclidean distance method based on red, green, and blue values. A linear relationship was observed between fluorescence intensity changes and Fe3+ concentrations from 7.3 × 10?7 to 3.6 × 10?5 mol L?1.

Selective Visualization of Live-Cell Mitochondrial Thiophenols and Their Induced Oxidative Stress Process by a Rationally Designed Rhodol-Based Fluorescent Probe
摘要： Mitochondria as cellular powerhouses are the preferential targets affected by thiophenols, an important class of highly toxic environmental pollutants, and are linked to the production of pathogenic reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by trace thiophenol residues. For real-time and accurate sensing, it is critically important to develop highly sensitive fluorescent probes for the specific detection of mitochondrial thiophenols. Herein, we report the first mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe (ROAL) to image thiophenols in living cells. The development of ROAL was based on a novel red-emitting rhodol derivative (ROAP). ROAL proved to be highly selective to thiophenols among various analytes including aliphatic thiols, and renders an ultrasensitive off-on fluorescence response to thiophenols with a remarkable detection limit (8.1 nM). The probe efficiently stains mitochondria with a high Pearson’s co-localization coefficient (0.95) using Mito Tracker Green FM as reference, thereby ensuring the specific detection of mitochondrial thiophenols in living HepG2 and HeLa cells. In particular, using this probe we for the first time proved that endogenous reactive oxygen species have the capacity to eliminate thiophenols in living cells, suggesting that thiophenols might induce cellular oxidative stress.

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.

A long-wavelength-emitting fluorescent probe for simultaneous discrimination of H2S/Cys/GSH and its bio-imaging applications
摘要： A long-wavelength fluorescent probe NR-CY was developed for simultaneous identification of cysteine / glutathione and sulphide by combining the derivative of Nile red with 7-nitrobenzofurazan. The response of NR-CY to thiols is regulated by intramolecular charge transfer and photoinduced electron transfer mechanisms. For sulphide at 560 nm, cysteine at 475 nm and glutathione at 425 nm, different absorbance increases can be observed. NR-CY can detect cysteine at fluorescence emission 543 nm and distinguish sulphide from other analytes by kinetic experiments at 636 nm. The probe showed a rapid response to these thiols (cysteine was 90 s and sulphide was 30 s). In addition, NR-CY has been successfully applied to live MCF-7 cell imaging.

Planar cutoff probe for measuring the electron density of low-pressure plasmas
摘要： The cutoff probe (CP) is a precise diagnostic technique that measures electron density using two cylindrical probe tips and holders inserted in a low-pressure plasma. However, a recent study has reported that the insertion of the probe tips and holders can perturb the plasma condition and act as a source of error in the measurement of electron density. This study proposes a planar cutoff probe (PCP), which does not have invasive probe tips and holders, to minimize the plasma perturbation during plasma measurement. We embed the PCP on the existing substrate chuck of the plasma chamber instead of inserting an additional probe holder into the chamber. The adjusted conditions for the radii of the probe’s antennas and the gap distance between the two probe antennas are obtained via an electromagnetic simulation. The comparative experiment results show that the inferred electron densities of the optimized PCP are in good agreement with those of the previous CP and within reasonable discrepancies stemming from the differences in measurement positions. We believe that the PCP, which can be embedded in the inner surface of the chamber and measure the electron density during the plasma (wafer) process, would be an alternative technical tool to realize advanced process control of plasma based on non-invasive diagnostic methods.

Magnetic Semiconductor Gd-Doping CuS Nanoparticles as Activatable Nanoprobes for Bimodal Imaging and Targeted Photothermal Therapy of Gastric Tumors
摘要： Targeted delivery of enzyme-activatable probes into cancer cells to facilitate accurate imaging and on-demand photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancers with high spatiotemporal precision promises to advance cancer diagnosis and therapy. Here, we report a tumor-targeted and matrix metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2)-activatable nanoprobe (T-MAN) formed by covalent modification of Gd-doping CuS micellar nanoparticles with cRGD and an MMP-2-cleavable fluorescent substrate. T-MAN displays a high r1 relaxivity (~60.0 mM-1s-1 per Gd3+ at 1 T) and a large near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence turn-on ratio (~185-fold) in response to MMP-2, allowing high-spatial-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and low-background fluorescence imaging of gastric tumors as well as lymph node (LN) metastasis in living mice. Moreover, T-MAN has a high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE, ~70.1%) under 808 nm laser irradiation, endowing it with the ability to efficiently generate heat to kill tumor cells. We demonstrate that T-MAN can accumulate preferentially in gastric tumors (~23.4% ID%/g at 12 h) after intravenous injection into mice, creating opportunities for fluorescence/MR bimodal imaging-guided PTT of subcutaneous and metastatic gastric tumors. For the first time, accurate detection and laser irradiation-initiated photothermal ablation of orthotopic gastric tumors in intraoperative mice was also achieved. This study highlights the versatility of using a combination of dual biomarker recognition (i.e., αvβ3 and MMP-2) and dual modality imaging (i.e., MRI and NIR fluorescence) to design tumor-targeting and activatable nanoprobes with improved selectivity for cancer theranostics in vivo.

Cancer-Specific Biomarker hNQO1-Activatable Fluorescent Probe for Imaging Cancer Cells In Vitro and In Vivo
摘要： Human NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1 (hNQO1) is an important cancer-related biomarker, which shows significant overexpression in malignant cells. Developing an effective method for detecting NQO1 activity with high sensitivity and selectivity in tumors holds a great potential for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and management. In the present study, we report a new dicyanoisophorone (DCP) based fluorescent probe (NQ-DCP) capable of monitoring hNQO1 activity in vitro and in vivo in both ratiometric and turn-on model. NQ-DCP was prepared by conjugating dicyanoisophorone fluoroprobe with hNQO1 activatable quinone propionic acid (QPA), which remain non-fluorescent until activation by tumor-specific hNQO1. NQ-DCP featured a large Stokes shift (145 nm), excellent biocompatibility, cell permeability, and selectivity towards hNQO1 allowed to differentiate cancer cells from healthy cells. We have successfully employed NQ-DCP to monitor non-invasive endogenous hNQO1 activity in brain tumor cells in vitro and in xenografted tumors developed in nude mice.

Imaging of anti-inflammatory effects of HNO <i>via</i> a near-infrared fluorescent probe in cells and in rat gouty arthritis model
摘要： Nitroxyl (HNO) plays a crucial role in anti-inflammatory effects via the inhibition of inflammatory pathways, but the details of the endogenous generation of HNO still remain challenging owing to the complex biosynthetic pathways, in which the interaction between H2S and NO simultaneously generates HNO and polysulfides (H2Sn) in mitochondria. Moreover, nearly all the available fluorescent probes for HNO are utilized for imaging HNO in cells and tissues, instead of the in situ real-time detection of the simultaneous formation of HNO and H2Sn in mitochondria and animals. Here, we have developed a mitochondria-targeting near-infrared fluorescent probe, namely, Mito-JN, to detect the generation of HNO in cells and a rat model. The probe consists of three moieties: Aza-BODIPY as a fluorescent signal transducer, a triphenylphosphonium cation as a mitochondria-targeting agent, and a diphenylphosphinobenzoyl group as an HNO-responsive unit. The response mechanism is based on an aza-ylide intramolecular ester aminolysis reaction with fluorescence emissions on. Mito-JN displays high selectivity and sensitivity for HNO over various other biologically relevant species. Mito-JN was successfully used for the detection of the endogenous generation of HNO, which is derived from the crosstalk between H2S and NO in living cells. The additional generation of H2Sn was also confirmed using our previous probe Cy-Mito. The anti-inflammatory effect of HNO was examined in a cell model of LPS-induced inflammation and a rat model of gouty arthritis. The results imply that our probe is a good candidate for the assessment of the protective effects of HNO in inflammatory processes.

Optimized light delivery probe using ball lenses for co-registered photoacoustic and ultrasound endo-cavity subsurface imaging
摘要： An optimized hand-held photoacoustic and ultrasound probe suitable for endo-cavity tumor subsurface imaging was designed and evaluated. Compared to previous designs, the prototype probe, consisting of four 1 mm multi-mode optical fibers attached with 1.5 mm diameter ball-shaped fiber tips sandwiched between a transvaginal ultrasound transducer and a custom-made sheath, demonstrated a higher light output and better beam homogeneity on tissue subsurface. The output power and fluence profile were simulated for different design parameters. A camera recorded fluence profiles through calibrated intralipid solution at various imaging depths. The light delivery efficiency was experimentally compared with and without the ball lenses, based on ex-vivo imaging of human colorectal cancer and in-vivo imaging of a palmar vein proximal to the human wrist. The simulations and experiments demonstrated that ball-shaped fiber tip design can achieve homogeneous fluence distribution on tissue subsurface with acceptable light output efficiency, suggesting its clinical potential for in-vivo endo-cavity imaging.
