PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 318:124514.

Abstract
Mercury ions (Hg2+) and sulfur ions (S2-), have caused serious harm to the ecological environment and human health as two kinds of highly toxic pollutants widely used. Therefore, the visual quantitative determination of Hg2+ and S2- is of great significance in the field of environmental monitoring and medical therapy. In this study, a novel fluorescent "on-off-on" peptide-based probe DNC was designed and synthesized using dipeptide (Asn-Cys-NH2) as the raw material via solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology with Fmoc chemistry. DNC displayed high selectivity in the recognition of Hg2+, and formed non-fluorescence complex (DNC-Hg2+) through 2:1 binding mode. Notably, DNC-Hg2+ complex generated in situ was used as relay response probe for highly selective sequential detection of S2- through reversible formation-separation. DNC achieved highly sensitive detection of Hg2+ and S2- with the detection limits (LODs) of 8.4 nM and 5.5 nM, respectively. Meanwhile, DNC demonstrated feasibility for Hg2+ and S2- detections in two water samples, and the considerable recovery rate was obtained. More importantly, DNC showed excellent water solubility and low toxicity, and was successfully used for consecutive discerning Hg2+ and S2- in test strips, living cells and zebrafish larvae. As an effective visual analysis method in the field, smartphone RGB Color Picker APP realized semi-quantitative detections of Hg2+ and S2- without the need for complicated device.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Abstract
Organic fluorophores are indispensable tools in cells, tissue and in vivo imaging, and have enabled much progress in the wide range of biological and biomedical fields. However, many available dyes suffer from insufficient performances, such as short absorption and emission wavelength, low brightness, poor stability, small Stokes shift, and unsuitable permeability, restricting their application in advanced imaging technology and complex imaging. Over the past two decades, many efforts have been made to improve these performances of fluorophores. Starting with the luminescence principle of fluorophores, this review clarifies the mechanisms of the insufficient performance for traditional fluorophores to a certain extent, systematically summarizes the modified approaches of optimizing properties, highlights the typical applications of the improved fluorophores in imaging and sensing, and indicates existing problems and challenges in this area. This progress not only proves the significance of improving fluorophores properties, but also provide a theoretical guidance for the development of high-performance fluorophores.

Abstract
Molecular diffusion and leakage impede the long-term retention of probes/drugs and may cause potential adverse effects in theranostic fields. Spatiotemporally manipulating the organelle-immobilization behavior of probes/drugs for prolonged tumor retention is indispensable to achieving effective cancer diagnosis and therapy. Herein, we propose a rational strategy that could realize near-infrared light-activated ribonucleic acids (RNAs) cross-linking for prolonged tumor retention and simultaneously endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) monitoring in colorectal tumors. Profiting from efficient singlet oxygen (1O2) generation from Cy796 under 808 nm light irradiation, the 1O2-animated furan moiety in Cy796 could covalently cross-link with cytoplasmic RNAs via a cycloaddition reaction and realize organelle immobilization. Subsequently, specific thiolysis of Cy796 assisted with H2S resulted in homologous product Cy644 with reduced 1O2 generation yields and enhanced absolute fluorescence quantum yields (from 7.42 to 27.70%) with blue-shifted absorption and emission, which avoided the molecular oxidation fluorescence quenching effect mediated by 1O2 and validated fluorescence imaging. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated that our proposed strategy possessed adequate capacity for fluorescence imaging and endogenous H2S detection in HCT116 cells, particularly accumulated at the tumor sites, and retained long-term imaging with excellent biocompatibility. The turn-on fluorescence mode and turn-off 1O2 generation efficiency in our strategy successfully realized a diminished fluorescence cross-talk and oxidation quenching effect. It is adequately envisioned that our proposed strategy for monitoring biomarkers and prolonged tumor retention will contribute tremendous dedication in the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic fields.

Abstract
Developing a respiratory analysis disease diagnosis platform for the H2S biomarker has great significance for the real-time detection of various diseases. However, achieving highly sensitive and rapid detection of H2S gas at the parts per billion level at low temperatures is one of the most critical challenges for developing portable exhaled gas sensors. Herein, Cu2O-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) heterostructures with excellent gas sensitivity to H2S at room temperature and a lower temperature were successfully synthesized by a facile two-dimensional (2D) electrodeposition in situ assembly method. The combination of Cu2O and MWCNTs via the principle of optimal conductance growth not only reduced the initial resistance of the material but also provided an ideal interfacial barrier structure. Compared to the response of the pure Cu2O sensor, that of the Cu2O-MWCNT sensor to 1 ppm of H2S increased nearly 800 times at room temperature, and the response time decreased by more than 500 s. In addition to the excellent sensitivity with detection limits as low as 1 ppb, the Cu2O-MWCNT sensor was extremely selective with low-temperature adaptability. The sensor had a response value of 80.6 to 0.1 ppm of H2S at -10 °C, which is difficult to achieve with sensors based on oxygen adsorption/desorption mechanisms. The sensor was used for the detection of real oral exhaled breath, confirming its feasibility as a real-time disease monitoring sensor. The Cu2O-MWCNT heterostructures maximized the advantages of the individual components and laid the experimental foundation for future applications of highly sensitive portable breath analysis platforms for monitoring H2S.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive sulfur species (RSS) are involved in many physiological processes and act as collaborators with crosstalk. As an important member of gasotransmitters and RSS, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) carries out signaling functions at submicromolar levels because of its high reactivity. Mechanisms of dynamic regulation of ROS and H2S production are poorly understood, and the development of a highly selective and organelle-targeted chemical tool will advance the further understanding of H2S chemical biology and ROS/RSS crosstalk. Herein, we report a highly selective and sensitive, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted fluorescent probe (ER-BODIPY-NBD) for revealing cisplatin-induced H2S biogenesis for the first time. The probe demonstrates a 152-fold fluorescence enhancement at 520 nm after reaction with H2S to release a bright BODIPY product (quantum yield 0.36). The probe is highly selective toward H2S over biothiols, ER-targeted, and biocompatible. In addition, the probe was successfully employed to track H2S biogenesis in live cells via stimulation from exogenous hypochlorous acid and the drug cisplatin.

Abstract
Probes allowing high-contrast discrimination of cancer cells and effective retention are powerful tools for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, conventional small-molecule probes often show limited performance in both aspects. Herein, we report an ingenious molecular engineering strategy for tuning the cellular uptake and retention of rhodamine dyes. Introduction of polar aminoethyl leads to the increased brightness and reduced cellular uptake of dyes, and this change can be reversed by amino acetylation. Moreover, these modifications allow cancer cells to take up more dyes than normal cells (16-fold) through active transport. Specifically, we further improve the signal contrast (56-fold) between cancer and normal cells by constructing activatable probes and confirm that the released fluorophore can remain in cancer cells with extended time, enabling long-term and specific tumor imaging.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule in colorectal cancer (CRC). It is produced in the colon by the catalytic synthesis of the colonocytes' enzymatic systems and the release of intestinal microbes, and is oxidatively metabolized in the colonocytes' mitochondria. Both endogenous H2S in colonic epithelial cells and exogenous H2S in intestinal lumen contribute to the onset and progression of CRC. The up-regulation of endogenous synthetases is thought to be the cause of the elevated H2S levels in CRC cells. Different diagnostic probes and combination therapies, as well as tumor treatment approaches through H2S modulation, have been developed in recent years and have become active area of investigation for the diagnosis and treatment of CRC. In this review, we focus on the specific mechanisms of H2S production and oxidative metabolism as well as the function of H2S in the occurrence, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of CRC. We also discuss the present challenges and provide insights into the future research of this burgeoning field.

Abstract
Imaging cancer specific biomarkers with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes can help inaccurate diagnosis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been reported to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes and is considered as one of the key gasotransmitters during the development of cancer. To achieve specific H2S detection in cancer cells, we reported a biotin-guided NIR fluorescent sensor P1 targeting a cancer cell surface biomarker, based on the H2S-specific thiolysis of the NBD-amine-hemicyanine conjugate. The probe showed a fast turn-on signal at 754 nm upon H2S activation and good selectivity towards H2S over millimolar levels of other biothiols. We successfully employed P1 to image endogenous H2S and demonstrated its tumor-targeting ability in live cells. P1 could differentiate multiple cancer cells with various levels of H2S from normal cells, indicating its potential for cancer imaging.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide is a biologically important molecule and developing chemical tools that enable further investigations into the functions of H2 S is essential. Fluorescent turn-on H2 S probes have been developed for use in cellulo and in vivo, but the membrane permeability of these probes can lead to probe leakage and signal attenuation over time. Here we report a cell trappable fluorescent probe for H2 S, CT-MeRhoAz, which is based on a methylrhodolazide scaffold derivatized with an acetoxymethyl ester group. Prior to ester cleavage, the CT-MeRhoAz probe generates a 2500-fold turn-on response to H2 S, which is enhanced to a 3000-fold response for the carboxylic acid form of the probe. Additionally, the probe is highly selective for H2 S over other biologically relevant sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen-based analytes. Live cell imaging experiments confirmed the biocompatibility of CT-MeRhoAz and also that it is cell trappable, unlike the parent MeRhoAz scaffold.

Abstract
The thiolysis of NBD piperazinyl amine (NBD-PZ) is highly selective for H2S over GSH and has been widely used for the development of many H2S fluorescent probes. Whether the NBD amine in H2S-specific probes could be a fluorescent quencher should be further clarified, because NBD amines have been used as environment-sensitive fluorophores for many years. Here, we compared the properties of NBD-based secondary and tertiary amines under the same conditions. For example, the emission of NBD-N(Et)2 is much smaller in water and less responsive to changes in polarity than that of NBD-NHEt. The emission of NBD-PZ-TPP is also smaller than that of NBD-NH-TPP both in aqueous buffer and in live cells. In addition, confocal bioimaging signals of NBD-PZ-TPP with excitation at 405 nm and 454 nm are much weaker than that at 488 nm. Based on these results as well as the previous work on NBD-based probes, we discuss and summarize the design strategies and sensing mechanisms for different NBD-based H2S probes. Moreover, NBD-PZ-TPP may be a useful tool for reaction with and imaging of mitochondrial H2S in live cells. This work should be useful for clarification of the roles of NBD in H2S-specific fluorescent probes as well as for facilitating the development of future NBD-based probes.
