Visualization of mitochondrial molecular dynamics during mitophagy process by label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy. Anal Chim Acta 2025; 1345:343748. [PMID: 40015786 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2025.343748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2024] [Revised: 01/18/2025] [Accepted: 01/29/2025] [Indexed: 03/01/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitophagy is a selective way to eliminate dysfunctional mitochondria and recycle their constituents, which plays an important role in regulating and maintaining intracellular homeostasis. Real-time monitoring mitophagy process is of great importance for cellular physiological and pathological processes related to mitochondria. Howbeit, most of the current methods only focus on single-parameter detection of mitochondrial microenvironmental changes such as pH, viscosity and polarity. The mitochondrial molecular responses under mitophagy are not clear. Therefore, developing a new and simple method for molecular profiling is of great importance for accurately and comprehensively visualizing mitophagy. RESULTS In this work, Au NPs-based mitochondria-targeting nanoprobe was developed and the nanoprobe-based label-free surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method was proposed to track starvation induced mitophagy process at molecular level. The nanoprobe displayed good SERS performance and low cytotoxicity. Based on the developed strategy, the molecular response within mitochondria under mitophagy was validated. Meanwhile, the protein denaturation, conformational change, lipid degradation and DNA fragmentation within mitochondria under mitophagy were revealed for the first time, which provides molecular evidence for mitophagy. The changes in reactive oxygen species level and mitochondrial membrane potential further confirmed the damage of mitochondria. Moreover, the developed label-free SERS strategy was used to detect mitophagy in drug (cisplatin)-induced liver injury (DILI) cell model, and obvious mitophagy in DILI cells was observed. SIGNIFICANCE The molecular biochemical signature dynamic changes within mitochondria during mitophagy process were revealed by SERS for the first time. Moreover, compared with the current research, our study can provide new insights into mitophagy and mitophagy-involved diseases at molecular level. This study will provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of mitophagy and offer a simple and effective method for mitochondrial molecular event monitoring in mitophagy-involved cellular processes.

Zhang K, Liang Y, Ma C, Guo H, Liu F, Gao A, Liu N, Zhang H. Stomata as the Main Pathway for the Penetration of Atmospheric Particulate Matter Pb into Wheat Leaves. TOXICS 2025; 13:185. [PMID: 40137512 PMCID: PMC11945984 DOI: 10.3390/toxics13030185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2024] [Revised: 01/12/2025] [Accepted: 01/14/2025] [Indexed: 03/29/2025]
Abstract
The absorption of atmospheric particulate matter lead (APM-Pb) by wheat leaves is the primary source of Pb in wheat grains, yet the mechanisms of how wheat leaves absorb Pb remain unclear. In this study, spraying Pb(NO3)2 (Treatment T1) and spraying PbS (Treatment T2) were used as soluble and insoluble Pb, respectively, to evaluate the primary pathways of APM-Pb absorption by wheat leaves, as well as the translocation and accumulation patterns of Pb within the wheat plant. The results showed that both soluble and insoluble Pb can be absorbed by wheat leaves. Compared to the control group (CK), the treatment of T1 and T2 significantly increased Pb concentration in both leaves and grains, as well as the Pb accumulation rate in grains (p < 0.05). Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) technology visually confirmed the distribution of particulate Pb in the stomatal region, demonstrating that solid-state Pb can penetrate the leaves through stomata. From the greening stage (GS) to the late filling stage (FS2), the leaves' cell sap contained the highest proportion of Pb, indicating that Pb within the cell sap possesses the greatest capacity for translocation. Concurrently, a significant increase in grain Pb concentration during this period indicated that the migration of Pb to cell sap after penetrating the leaves is subsequently translocated to the grains (p < 0.05). Compared to the jointing stage (JS), the proportion of the ethanol and water extraction states of Pb significantly decreased in FS2 (p < 0.05), indicating that Pb is more readily translocated to the grains during this period. Moreover, in FS2, Pb concentration in leaves and grains in the T2 treatment reached 76.5% and 63.9% that of T1, respectively. Since PbS can only be absorbed through stomata, it can be inferred that stomata are the primary pathway for wheat leaves to absorb APM-Pb. Therefore, Pb absorbed through the stomatal pathway and accumulated in the cell sap fraction is most likely to be translocated to the grains during the filling stage. This study provides new insights into the mechanisms of Pb absorption and translocation in wheat, emphasizing the critical role of stomata in the uptake of APM-Pb. It offers a new direction for breeding wheat varieties resistant to APM-Pb pollution, which is of significant importance in agricultural practices aimed at reducing heavy metal contamination in crops.

Abstract
Monitoring the transition of cell states during induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) differentiation is crucial for clinical medicine and basic research. However, both identification category and prediction accuracy need further improvement. Here, we propose a method combining surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with convolutional neural networks (CNN) to precisely identify and distinguish cell states during stem cell differentiation. First, mitochondria-targeted probes were synthesized by combining AuNRs and mitochondrial localization signal (MLS) peptides to obtain effective and stable SERS spectra signals at various stages of cell differentiation. Then, the SERS spectra served as input datasets, and their distinctive features were learned and distinguished by CNN. As a result, rapid and accurate identification of six different cell states, including the embryoid body (EB) stage, was successfully achieved throughout the stem cell differentiation process with an impressive prediction accuracy of 98.5%. Furthermore, the impact of different spectral feature peaks on the identification results was investigated, which provides a valuable reference for selecting appropriate spectral bands to identify cell states. This is also beneficial for shortening the spectral acquisition region to enhance spectral acquisition speed. These results suggest the potential for SERS-CNN models in quality monitoring of stem cells, advancing the practical applications of stem cells.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems mimic the salient elements of extracellular matrices and promote native cell function. However, high-resolution 3D cell imaging that can provide biological information about multiple features of individual cells is yet to be realized. In this context, we incorporated plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into an alginate/gelatin hydrogel to produce surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active hydrogel inks for the 3D printing and culturing of Vero cells. Dense incorporation of AuNPs enables production of a printed 3D grid structure with 3D SERS performance, but with no measurable adverse effects on cell growth. Label-free SERS spectra were collected within a hydrogel, and a random forest binary classifier was developed to discriminate Vero cell signals from the hydrogel background with an accuracy of 87.5%. The results suggest that SERS signals from cellular components, such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, account for this discrimination. We demonstrate visualization of cell shape, location, and density by combining predicted binary maps with peak feature intensity maps in 2D and 3D. SERS images with a resolution of ≈3 μm match well with the microscopy images and show clear increases in intensity with incubation time. We suggest that 3D SERS cell imaging is a promising means to examine the effect of external cell stimuli on cellular behavior for diagnostic purposes.

Accurate age-grading of field-aged mosquitoes reared under ambient conditions using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and artificial neural networks. JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY 2023; 60:917-923.

Abstract
Age-grading mosquitoes are significant because only older mosquitoes are competent to transmit pathogens to humans. However, we lack effective tools to do so, especially at the critical point where mosquitoes become a risk to humans. In this study, we demonstrated the capability of using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and artificial neural networks to accurately age-grade field-aged low-generation (F2) female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes held under ambient conditions (error was 1.9 chronological days, in the range 0-22 days). When degree days were used for model calibration, the accuracy was further improved to 20.8 degree days (approximately equal to 1.4 chronological days), which indicates the impact of temperature fluctuation on prediction accuracy. This performance is a significant advancement over binary classification. The great accuracy of this method outperforms traditional age-grading methods and will facilitate effective epidemiological studies, risk assessment, vector intervention monitoring, and evaluation.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) is a promising cancer treatment because tumor tissue can be specifically damaged by utilizing the heat generated by nano-heaters such as magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) under an alternating magnetic field. MNPs are taken up by cancer cells, enabling intracellular MHT. Subcellular localization of MNPs can affect the efficiency of intracellular MHT. In this study, we attempted to improve the therapeutic efficacy of MHT by using mitochondria-targeting MNPs. Mitochondria-targeting MNPs were prepared by the modification of carboxyl phospholipid polymers containing triphenylphosphonium (TPP) moieties that accumulate in mitochondria. The mitochondrial localization of polymer-modified MNPs was supported by transmission electron microscopy observations of murine colon cancer CT26 cells treated with polymer-modified MNPs. In vitro and in vivo MHT using polymer-modified MNPs revealed that the therapeutic effects were enhanced by introducing TPP. Our results indicate the validity of mitochondria targeting in enhancing the therapeutic outcome of MHT. These findings will pave the way for developing a new strategy for the surface design of MNPs and therapeutic strategies for MHT.

Abstract
Cancer is threatening the survival of human beings all over the world. Phototherapy (including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT)) and bioimaging are important tools for imaging-mediated cancer theranostics. Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) dyes have received more attention due to their high thermal and photochemical stability, efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and thermal effects, easy functionalization, and tunable photophysical properties. In this review, we outline the latest achievements of DPP derivatives in cancer therapy and imaging over the past three years. DPP-based conjugated polymers and small molecules for detection, bioimaging, PTT, photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided PTT, and PDT/PTT combination therapy are summarized. Their design principles and chemical structures are highlighted. The outlook, challenges, and future opportunities for the development of DPP derivatives are also presented, which will give a future perspective for cancer treatment.

Abstract
A carrier is inserted into the appropriate organelles (nucleus) in successful medication transport, crucial to achieving very effective illness treatment. Cell-membrane targeting is the major focus of using nuclei to localize delivery. It has been demonstrated that high quantities of anticancer drugs can be injected directly into the nuclei of cancer cells, causing the cancer cells to die and increasing the effectiveness of chemotherapy. There are several effective ways to functionalize Nanoparticles (NPs), including changing their chemical makeup or attaching functional groups to their surface to increase their ability to target organelles. To cause tumor cells to apoptosis, released medicines must engage with molecular targets on particular organelles when their concentration is high enough. Targeted medication delivery studies will increasingly focus on organelle-specific delivery.

Abstract
Hollow-structured nanomaterials (HSNMs) have attracted increased interest in biomedical fields, owing to their excellent potential as drug delivery systems (DDSs) for clinical applications. Among HSNMs, hollow multi-shelled structures (HoMSs) exhibit properties such as high loading capacity, sequential drug release, and multi-functionalized modification and represent a new class of nanoplatforms for clinical applications. The remarkable properties of HoMS-based DDS can simultaneously satisfy and enhance DDSs for delivering small molecular drugs (e.g., antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and imaging agents) and macromolecular drugs (e.g., protein/peptide- and nucleic acid-based drugs). First, the latest research advances in delivering small molecular drugs are summarized and highlight the inherent advantages of HoMS-based DDSs for small molecular drug targeting, combining continuous therapeutic drug delivery and theranostics to optimize the clinical benefit. Meanwhile, the macromolecular drugs DDSs are in the initial development stage and currently offer limited delivery modes. There is a growing need to analyze the deficiency of other HSNMs and integrate the advantages of HSNMs, providing solutions for the safe, stable, and cascade delivery of macromolecular drugs to meet vast treatment requirements. Therefore, the latest advances in HoMS-based DDSs are comprehensively reviewed, mainly focusing on the characteristics, research progress by drug category, and future research prospects.

Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the main clinical therapeutic strategies against cancer. Currently, multiple radiosensitizers aimed at enhancing X-ray absorption in cancer tissues have been developed, while limitations still exist for their further applications, such as poor cellular uptake, hypoxia-induced radioresistance, and unavoidable damage to adjacent normal body tissues. In order to address these problems, a cell-penetrating TAT peptide (YGRKKRRQRRRC)-modified nanohybrid was constructed by doping high-Z element Au in hollow semiconductor Cu2-xSe nanoparticles for combined RT and photothermal therapy (PTT) against breast cancer. The obtained Cu2-xSe nanoparticles possessed excellent radiosensitizing properties based on their particular band structures, and high photothermal conversion efficiency beneficial for tumor ablation and promoting RT efficacy. Further doping high-Z element Au deposited more high-energy radiation for better radiosensitizing performance. Conjugation of TAT peptides outside the constructed Cu2-xSe/Au nanoparticles facilitated their cellular uptake, thus reducing overdosage-induced side effects. This prepared multifunctional nanohybrid showed powerful suppression effects towards breast cancer, both in vitro and in vivo via integrating enhanced cell penetration and uptake, and combined RT/PTT strategies.

Abstract
The current challenges in cancer treatment using conventional therapies have made the emergence of nanotechnology with more advancements. The exponential growth of nanoscience has drawn to develop nanomaterials (NMs) with therapeutic activities. NMs have enormous potential in cancer treatment by altering the drug toxicity profile. Nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced surface characteristics can diffuse more easily inside tumor cells, thus delivering an optimal concentration of drugs at tumor site while reducing the toxicity. Cancer cells can be targeted with greater affinity by utilizing NMs with tumor specific constituents. Furthermore, it bypasses the bottlenecks of indiscriminate biodistribution of the antitumor agent and high administration dosage. Here, we focus on the recent advances on the use of various nanomaterials for cancer treatment, including targeting cancer cell surfaces, tumor microenvironment (TME), organelles, and their mechanism of action. The paradigm shift in cancer management is achieved through the implementation of anticancer drug delivery using nano routes.

Abstract
The hydrodynamic method mimics the in vivo environment of the mechanical effect on cell stimulation, which not only modulates cell physiology but also shows excellent intracellular delivery ability. Herein, a hydrodynamic intracellular delivery system based on the gigahertz acoustic streaming (AS) effect is proposed, which presents powerful targeted delivery capabilities with high efficiency and universality. Results indicate that the range of cells with AuNR introduction is related to that of AS, enabling a tunable delivery range due to the adjustability of the AS radius. Moreover, with the assistance of AS, the organelle localization delivery of AuNRs with different modifications is enhanced. AuNRs@RGD is inclined to accumulate in the nucleus, while AuNRs@BSA tend to enter the mitochondria and AuNRs@PEGnK tend to accumulate in the lysosome. Finally, the photothermal effect is proved based on the large quantities of AuNRs introduced via AS. The abundant introduction of AuNRs under the action of AS can achieve rapid cell heating with the irradiation of a 785 nm laser, which has great potential in shortening the treatment cycle of photothermal therapy (PTT). Thereby, an efficient hydrodynamic technology in AuNR introduction based on AS has been demonstrated. The outstanding location delivery and organelle targeting of this method provides a new idea for precise medical treatment.

Abstract
Characterizing metabolism in cancer is crucial for understanding tumor biology and for developing potential therapies. Although most metabolic investigations analyze averaged metabolite levels from all cell compartments, subcellular metabolomics can provide more detailed insight into the biochemical processes associated with the disease. Methodological limitations have historically prevented the wider application of subcellular metabolomics in cancer research. Recently, however, ways to distinguish and identify metabolic pathways within organelles have been developed, including state-of-the-art methods to monitor metabolism in situ (such as mass spectrometry-based imaging, Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy), to isolate key organelles via new approaches and to use tailored isotope-tracing strategies. Herein, we examine the advantages and limitations of these developments and look to the future of this field of research.

Abstract
Electrostimulation (ES) is an important therapeutic method for diseases caused by abnormal intracellular electrical activity. Also, it can induce apoptosis of cells, which is a potential tumor treatment method. At present, there are no relevant studies on changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels produced in the process of ES, or on the effects of simultaneous implementation of conventional antioxidant inhibitor drugs and ES therapy. To reveal these, two organelle-targeting core-shell plasmonic probes were designed for measuring ROS produced during ES. The probes were delivered into target organelles (nucleus and mitochondrion) before the cells were electrically stimulated for different periods of time. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals were detected in situ, and the sensing mechanism for the quantitative analysis of ROS is based on the signal reduction of SERS caused by the ROS-etching effect on the silver shell. The detection results revealed that ES could trigger ROS generation in cells, and the ROS levels localized around organelles were assessed by SERS. This study has great potential for exploring abnormal organelle microenvironments via organelle-targeting probes combined with SERS technology.

Abstract
Metals have been investigated as biomaterials for a wide range of medical applications. At nanoscale, some metals, such as gold nanoparticles, exhibit plasmonics, which have motivated researchers’ focus on biosensor development. At the device level, some metals, such as titanium, exhibit good physical properties, which could allow them to act as biomedical implants for physical support. Despite these attractive features, the non-specific delivery of metallic nanoparticles and poor tissue–device compatibility have greatly limited their performance. This review aims to illustrate the interplay between polymers and metals, and to highlight the pivotal role of polymer–metal composite/nanocomposite healthcare materials in different biomedical applications. Here, we revisit the recent plasmonic engineered platforms for biomolecules detection in cell-free samples and highlight updated nanocomposite design for (1) intracellular RNA detection, (2) photothermal therapy, and (3) nanomedicine for neurodegenerative diseases, as selected significant live cell–interactive biomedical applications. At the device scale, the rational design of polymer–metallic medical devices is of importance for dental and cardiovascular implantation to overcome the poor physical load transfer between tissues and devices, as well as implant compatibility under a dynamic fluidic environment, respectively. Finally, we conclude the treatment of these innovative polymer–metal biomedical composite designs and provide a future perspective on the aforementioned research areas.

Abstract
Regulating stem cell differentiation in a controllable way is significant for regeneration of tissues. Herein, we report a simple and highly efficient method for accelerating the stem cell differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) based on the synergy of the electromagnetic field and the photothermal (thermoplasmonic) effect of plasmonic nanoparticles. By simple laser irradiation at 50 mW/cm2 (10 min per day, totally for 5 days), the thermoplasmonic effect of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) can effectively regulate mitochondrial metabolism to induce the increase of mitochondrial membrane potential and further drive energy increase during the DPSC differentiation process. The proposed method can specifically regulate DPSCs' cell differentiation toward odontoblasts, with the differentiation time reduced to only 5 days. Simultaneously, the molecular profiling change of mitochondria within DPSCs during the cell differentiation process is revealed by in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. It clearly demonstrates that the expression of hydroxyproline and glutamate gradually increases with prolonging of the differentiation days. The developed method is simple, robust, and rapid for stem cell differentiation of DPSCs, which would be beneficial to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Identifying cell phenotypes is essential for understanding the function of biological macromolecules and molecular biology. We developed a noninvasive, label-free, single-cell Raman imaging analysis platform to distinguish between the cell phenotypes of the HeLa cell wild type (WT) and cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) gene knockout (KO) type. Via large-scale Raman spectral and imaging analysis, two phenotypes of the HeLa cells were distinguished by their intrinsic biochemical profiles. A significant difference was found between the two cell lines: large lipid droplets formed in the knockout HeLa cells but were not observed in the WT cells, which was confirmed by Oil Red O staining. The band ratio of the Raman spectrum of saturated/unsaturated fatty acids was identified as the Raman spectral marker for HeLa cell WT or gene knockout type differentiation. The interaction between organelles involved in lipid metabolism was revealed by Raman imaging and Lorentz fitting, where the distribution intensity of the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum membrane decreased. At the same time, lysosomes increased after the CDK6 gene knockout. The parameters obtained from Raman spectroscopy are based on hierarchical cluster analysis and one-way ANOVA, enabling highly accurate cell classification.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from biomolecules in living cells enables the sensitive, but also very selective, probing of their biochemical composition. This minireview discusses the developments of SERS probing in cells over the past years from the proof-of-principle to observe a biochemical status to the characterization of molecule-nanostructure and molecule-molecule interactions and cellular processes that involve a wide variety of biomolecules and cellular compartments. Progress in applying SERS as a bioanalytical tool in living cells, to gain a better understanding of cellular physiology and to harness the selectivity of SERS, has been achieved by a combination of live cell SERS with several different approaches. They range from organelle targeting, spectroscopy of relevant molecular models, and the optimization of plasmonic nanostructures to the application of machine learning and help us to unify the information from defined biomolecules and from the cell as an extremely complex system.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) have unique optical properties and biological affinity and can be used to treat tumors when conjugated with other protein molecules. Our previous studies have shown that EGFR monoclonal antibody (EGFRmAb)-modified AuNRs exert strong antitumor activity in vitro by inducing apoptosis. In this study, we tested the effects of EGFRmAb-modified AuNRs on laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro results showed that EGFRmAb-modified AuNRs inhibited NP-69, BEAS-2B and Hep-2 cell growth and induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. The mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced, leading to the release of cytochrome C (Cyt C) and consequent activation of the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Moreover, we observed that the occurrence of mitochondrial apoptosis is related to the destruction of the lysosome-mitochondria axis. To verify the effects in vivo, we also established a laryngeal tumor model in nude mice by subcutaneous transplantation. In model mice treated with EGFRmAb-modified AuNRs and irradiated with an NIR laser, tumor cell apoptosis and tumor growth were inhibited. These results suggest that EGFRmAb-modified AuNRs induced apoptosis through the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and are a potential candidate for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Lysosome-relevant cell death induced by lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) has recently attracted increasing attention. However, nearly no studies show that currently available LMP inducers can evoke immunogenic cell death (ICD) or convert immunologically cold tumors to hot. Herein, we report a LMP inducer named TPE-Py-pYK(TPP)pY, which can respond to alkaline phosphatase (ALP), leading to formation of nanoassembies along with fluorescence and singlet oxygen turn-on. TPE-Py-pYK(TPP)pY tends to accumulate in ALP-overexpressed cancer cell lysosomes as well as induce LMP and rupture of lysosomal membranes to massively evoke ICD. Such LMP-induced ICD effectively converts immunologically cold tumors to hot as evidenced by abundant CD8+ and CD4+ T cells infiltration into the cold tumors. Exposure of ALP-catalyzed nanoassemblies in cancer cell lysosomes to light further intensifies the processes of LMP, ICD and cold-to-hot tumor conversion. This work thus builds a new bridge between lysosome-relevant cell death and cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
With increasing knowledge about diseases at the histological, cytological to sub-organelle level, targeting organelle therapy has gradually been envisioned as an approach to overcome the shortcomings of poor specificity and multiple toxic side effects on tissues and cell-level treatments using the currently available therapy. Organelle carbon dots (CDs) are a class of functionalized CDs that can target organelles. CDs can be prepared by a "synchronous in situ synthesis method" and "asynchronous modification method." The superior optical properties and good biocompatibility of CDs can be preserved, and they can be used as targeting particles to carry drugs into cells while reducing leakage during transport. Given the excellent organelle fluorescence imaging properties, targeting organelle CDs can be used to monitor the physiological metabolism of organelles and progression of human diseases, which will provide advanced understanding and accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of cancers. This study reviews the methods used for preparation of targeting organelle CDs, mechanisms of accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of cancer, as well as their application in the area of cancer diagnosis and treatment research. Finally, the current difficulties and prospects for targeting organelle CDs are prospected.

Abstract
Autophagy plays a critical role in many vitally important physiological and pathological processes, such as the removal of damaged and aged organelles and redundant proteins. Although autophagy is mainly a protective process for cells, it can also cause cell death. In this study, we employed in situ and ex situ surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopies to obtain chemical information of lysosomes of HepG2 cells. Results reveal that the SERS profiles of the isolated lysosomes are different from the in situ spectra, indicating that lysosomes lie in different microenvironments in these two cases. We further investigated the molecular changes of isolated lysosomes according to the autophagy induced by starvation via ex situ SERS. During autophagy, the conformation of proteins and the structures of lipids have been affected, and autophagy-related molecular evidence is given for the first time in the living lysosomes. We expect that this study will provide a reference for understanding the cell autophagy mechanism.

Abstract
Monitoring hypoxia-related changes in subcellular organelles would provide deeper insights into hypoxia-related metabolic pathways, further helping us to recognize various diseases on subcellular level. However, there is still a lack of real-time, in situ, and controllable means for biosensing in subcellular organelles under hypoxic conditions. Herein, we report a reductase and light programmatical gated nanodevice via integrating light-responsive DNA probes into a hypoxia-responsive metal-organic framework for spatiotemporally controlled imaging of biomolecules in subcellular organelles under hypoxic conditions. A small-molecule-decorated strategy was applied to endow the nanodevice with the ability to target subcellular organelles. Dynamic changes of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate under hypoxic conditions were chosen as a model physiological process. The assay was validated in living cells and tumor tissue slices obtained from mice models. Due to the highly integrated, easily accessible, and available for living cells and tissues, we envision that the concept and methodology can be further extended to monitor biomolecules in other subcellular organelles under hypoxic conditions with a spatiotemporal controllable approach.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy, assisted by local heat generation using photothermal nanoparticles (NPs), is an emerging strategy to treat tumors noninvasively. To improve treatment outcomes and to alleviate potential side effects on normal tissue cells, utilizing the optically transparent second near-infrared (NIR-II) window and actively targeting tumors are critical. Considering that mitochondria are heat sensitive and play an important role in the up-regulation of metabolic activity in tumor cells, herein we report a cascade targeting scheme that enables active photothermal ablation of tumor mitochondria. First, NIR-II absorbing CuS NPs were surface modified with the mitochondria targeting moiety (3-carboxypropyl) triphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP) and then shielded with CD44 targeting hyaluronic acid, which will only expose TPP upon reaching the tumor sites. This allowed over 90% CuS NP enrichment at tumor mitochondria, and as a result, significantly improved tumor cell photothermal ablation was observed at the cellular level. An in vivo study demonstrated enhanced tumor uptake and improved tumor growth suppression by using these cascade targeting CuS NPs as NIR-II photothermal agents.

Abstract
In the current cancer treatment, various combination therapies have been widely used, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with chemokinetic therapy (CDT). However, due to the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the limitations of treatment, the efficacy of current treatment options for some cancers is unsatisfactory. Nowadays, cascade technology has been used in cancer treatment and achieved good therapeutic effect. Cascade technology based on nanotechnology can trigger cascade reactions under specific tumor conditions to achieve precise positioning and controlled release, or amplify the efficacy of each drug to improve anticancer efficacy and reduce side effects. Compared with the traditional treatment, the application of cascade technology has achieved the controllability, specificity, and effectiveness of cancer treatment. This paper reviews the application of cascade technology in drug delivery, targeting, and release via nano-drug delivery systems in recent years, and introduces their application in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cancer treatment. Finally, we briefly describe the current challenges and prospects of cascade technology in cancer treatment in the future.

Abstract
The anti-tumor effects of metformin hydrochloride (MH), an initial pharmacologic agent for type 2 diabetes, were reexamined by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. A SERS immuno-tag fabricated by decorating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with a specific antibody was employed to trace the dynamic expression of the tumor metastasis-related N-cadherin. With the MH action, the N-cadherin expression on the cell membranes decreases, proving that MH has a pharmacological effect on prohibiting cancer cell metastasis. Another AgNP-based nucleus targeting nanoprobe was adopted to culture with the MH acted cells, which can help the label-free SERS collection of the cell nuclei to explore the MH influences on intranuclear genes and proteins. By analyzing the intranuclear SERS spectra, the find is that MH has impacts on the transcription and translation of genes, thus regulates the expression of tumor metastasis-related proteins (N-cadherins). This study presents a proof-of-concept for MH as a potential drug for diabetes patients associated with tumors. The developed plasmonic immune analytical platform can be extended to assess other substances of the cell membrane and applicable for the SERS-based screening of membrane receptor-related drugs at the cellular level.

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
Organelles are involved in many cell life activities, and their metabolic or functional disorders are closely related to apoptosis, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and the development and metastasis of cancers. The explorations of subcellular structures, microenvironments, and their abnormal conditions are conducive to a deeper understanding of many pathological mechanisms, which are expected to achieve the early diagnosis and the effective therapy of diseases. Organelles are also the targeted locations of drugs, and they play significant roles in many targeting therapeutic strategies. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical tool that can provide the molecular fingerprint information of subcellular compartments and the real-time cellular dynamics in a non-invasive and non-destructive way. This review aims to summarize the recent advances of SERS studies on subcellular compartments, including five parts. The introductions of SERS and subcellular compartments are given. SERS is promising in subcellular compartment studies due to its molecular specificity and high sensitivity, and both of which highly match the high demands of cellular/subcellular investigations. Intracellular SERS is mainly cataloged as the labeling and label-free methods. For subcellular targeted detections and therapies, how to internalize plasmonic nanoparticles or nanostructure in the target locations is a key point. The subcellular compartment SERS detections, SERS measurements of isolated organelles, investigations of therapeutic mechanisms from subcellular compartments and microenvironments, and integration of SERS diagnosis and treatment are sequentially presented. A perspective view of the subcellular SERS studies is discussed from six aspects. This review provides a comprehensive overview of SERS applications in subcellular compartment researches, which will be a useful reference for designing the SERS-involved therapeutic systems.

Abstract
The capability of a solvent-mediated liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method to improve the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in food matrixes using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is described. SERS detection of mycotoxins with nanoparticle aggregation is a simple method but with low reproducibility due to the heterogeneous distribution of the nanoparticle aggregates. We evaluated three different LLE protocols to analyze their performance in combination with SERS. A facile extraction method based on sample acidification and addition of chloroform as a separation solvent showed to not only extract OTA from wine and wheat but also facilitate the uniform distribution of the nanoparticles leading to an improvement of the detection signals and the reproducibility. This method enables rapid and simple analysis of mycotoxin Ochratoxin A in food systems.

Abstract
The integration of surface-enhanced Raman spectrum (SERS) and fluorescence-photoacoustic multimodal imaging in near-infrared photothermal therapy is highly desirable for cancer theranostic. However, typically, gold nanotheranostics usually require an additional modification of fluorophores and complex design refinements. In this work, by integrating surface-modified cysteine-hydroxyl merocyanine (CyHMC) molecules onto AuNRs, a novel lysosome-targeted gold-based nanotheranostics AuNRs-CyHMC that combines the specificity of Raman spectrum, the speed of fluorescence imaging, and deep penetration of photoacoustic imaging was successfully fabricated. Interestingly, fluorescence and Raman signals in this AuNRs-CyHMC system do not interfere, but it has pH-sensitive Raman signals and self-fluorescence localization ability under different excitation wavelengths. Fluorescence co-localization experiments further confirmed the lysosome-targeting ability of AuNRs-CyHMC. Typically, the proposed nanotheranostics were capable of SERS monitoring pH changes in both phosphate-buffered saline and living cells. Meanwhile, in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that AuNRs-CyHMC possessed excellent fluorescence-photoacoustic performance and could be used for multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy. Furthermore, our work implied that gold nanotheranostics can provide great potential for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Real-time in situ imaging of organelles is increasingly important in modern biomedical analysis and diseases diagnosis. To realize this goal, organelle-targeting nanoparticles as one of the most commonly used technologies in subcellular sensing and imaging has attracted a lot of interest. The biocompatibility, specificity, and binding efficiency are especially critical for efficient organelle-targeting bioimaging. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) fabricated with bifunctional peptides constructed with both Au-binding affinity and nucleus-targeting ability were designed and examined for efficient nucleus-targeting bioimaging. Such a design is expected to achieve an oriented assembling of peptides by the medium of the Au-binding peptides specifically assembled on the surface of AuNPs, with the nucleus-targeting end open for accessibility. The bifunctional peptides showed strong binding affinity toward AuNPs and led to a binding capability ∼1.5 times higher than that of the bare nucleus-targeting peptides, ensuring good surface coverage of the nanoparticles for enhanced nucleus-targeting ability. Such fabricated AuNPs demonstrated over 90% cell viability after incubation for 24 h with HepG2 cells, which were highly biocompatible. Precise and efficient bioimaging of the nucleus was achieved for HepG2 cells by using the fabricated AuNPs as observed with a confocal laser scanning microscope, a dark-field/fluorescence microscope, and a transmission electron microscope. The high surface coverage and oriented binding pattern appeared to be a promising strategy for construction of organelle-targeting agencies.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy, in which light is converted into heat and triggers local hyperthermia to ablate tumors, presents an inherently specific and noninvasive treatment for tumor tissues. In this area, the development of efficient photothermal agents (PTAs) has always been a central topic. Although many efforts have been made on the investigation of novel molecular architectures and photothermal materials over the past decades, PTAs can cause severe damage to normal tissues because of the poor tumor aggregate ability and high irradiation density. Recently, dual-targeted photothermal agents (DTPTAs) provide an attractive strategy to overcome these problems and enhance cancer therapy. DTPTAs are functionalized with two classes of targeting units, including tumor environment targeting sites, tumor targeting sites and organelle targeting sites. In this perspective, typical targeted ligands and representative examples of photothermal therapeutic agents with dual-targeted properties are systematically summarized and recent advances using DTPTAs in tumor therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Organelle-targeting techniques have been proved to be promising approaches for enhanced cancer treatment, especially phototherapy, because it can greatly improve the efficiency of photosensitizers. In this work, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targeting diketopyrrolopyrrole-based photosensitizer (DPP2+) for synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapy upon irradiation. The obtained mitochondria-targeting nanoparticles (DPP2+ NPs) could produce thermal energy and singlet oxygen under 635 nm laser irradiation with ideal cytocompatibility. Importantly, DPP2+ NPs are more likely to enter the cells and target mitochondria. In in vitro and in vivo antitumor experiments, DPP2+ NPs showed highly effective antitumor effects, suggesting that mitochondria-targeting photosensitizers have potential for cancer treatment. The present work provides an alternative strategy to mitochondria-targeting molecular engineering and highlights the potential of organic nanomaterials in biomedical fields and cancer treatment.

Abstract
A 3-factor-5-level central composite design was conducted to investigate the combined toxicity and detoxification mechanisms of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in Solanum nigrum L. The three metal(loid)s exhibited low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition on plant length. Analyses of eleven oxidative stress and antioxidant parameters showed all Pb, Cd and As induced oxidative damages, and the co-exposure further enhanced their toxic effects. Pb, Cd and As were mainly accumulated in plant roots and poorly translocated to shoots, being beneficial for metal(loid) detoxification. The results of subcellular fractionation showed that Pb, Cd and As in plant leaves, stems and roots were mainly localized in the cell wall and soluble fractions. Most of Pb and As in soils occurred in residual fraction while Cd in exchangeable fraction. Although single Pb, Cd and As in all plant tissues existed predominantly in 1 M NaCl-soluble form, the d-H2O and 80 % ethanol-soluble forms were increased under the binary or ternary combinations. This study will conduce to the potential use of S. nigrum L. in the phytostablization of soil co-contaminated with Pb, Cd and As.

Abstract
Nucleus is the central regulator of cell metabolism, growth and differentiation, which is considered as an effective target for the treatment of many diseases. To efficiently deliver drugs into nucleus, delivery systems have to bypass a number of barriers especially crossing the cell membrane and nuclear envelope. Here we report a nucleolar targeting peptide (NrTP6) modified polymeric conjugate platform based on N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers for enhanced nuclear delivery of H1-S6A, F8A peptide to hinder c-Myc from binding to DNA. On one hand, the modification of NrTP6 would promote cellular uptake and nuclear accumulation of the conjugates, and on the other hand, the conjugates can release smaller molecular weight subunits (H1-NrTP6) via cleavage of lysosomally enzyme-sensitive spacer for facilitating nucleus transport. It was found that NrTP6 modified HPMA copolymer-H1 peptide conjugates could improve internalization and nuclear accumulation of H1 peptide by 2.2 and 37.1-fold, respectively, compared to the non-NrTP6 modified ones, in HeLa cells. Moreover, the same trend was found in MDA-MB-231 cells and 4T1 cells. In addition, we found that the nuclear targeting mechanism of NrTP6 peptide mediation may be associated with the importin α/β pathway. Furthermore, the in vivo investigation revealed that NrTP6-modified polymeric platform exhibited the best therapeutic efficacy with a tumor growth inhibition rate of 77.0%. These results indicated that NrTP6 modification was a promising strategy for simultaneously realizing cellular internalization and nuclear targeting, which might provide a new path for intranuclear drug delivery.

Abstract
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical effort has been directed toward understanding the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and demonstrating its potential in various types of ultrasensitive sensing applications in a wide variety of fields. In the 45 years since its discovery, SERS has blossomed into a rich area of research and technology, but additional efforts are still needed before it can be routinely used analytically and in commercial products. In this Review, prominent authors from around the world joined together to summarize the state of the art in understanding and using SERS and to predict what can be expected in the near future in terms of research, applications, and technological development. This Review is dedicated to SERS pioneer and our coauthor, the late Prof. Richard Van Duyne, whom we lost during the preparation of this article.

Abstract
Imagine the ideal cancer drug that only kills cancer cells and does not affect nearby noncancerous cells. In the words of Paul Ehrlich, the drug acts like a magic bullet. This Topical Review summarizes an emerging new strategy to achieve this audacious goal. The central concept is a dual-targeted phototherapeutic agent for photodynamic or photothermal therapy. The dual-targeted phototherapeutic agent promotes cancer cell specificity by leveraging three levels of selectivity. Cell death will only occur in the anatomical location that is illuminated with light (Selectivity Level 1) and in cancer cells within the illumination area that have selectively accumulated the agent (Selectivity Level 2). The cancer cell killing effect is highly localized if the agent accumulates in hypersensitive intracellular organelles (Selectivity Level 3). The common targeting units for cancer cells and organelles are described, along with recent examples of dual-targeted phototherapeutic agents that incorporate these two classes of targeting units.

Abstract
Thermoradiotherapy acts as an important antitumor modality because heating can increase the blood flow and improve the oxygen level in tumor, thus remission of hypoxia-associated resistance for radiotherapy (RT). However, most agents for thermoradiotherapy are used either in the first near-infrared biological window or low photothermal conversion efficiency. Here, a facile method to prepare CuxS/Au nanocomposites via reduction methods from CuxS templates in mild synthetic conditions (i.e., aqueous solution and room temperature) is presented. After the growth of Au nanoparticles, the CuxS/Au nanocomposites have greater benefits for photothermal efficiency than that of CuxS nanoparticles due to the enhanced absorbance in the second near-infrared window. Moreover, biocompatibility and stability of these nanocomposites are greatly improved by lipoic acid poly(ethylene glycol). After the tumors were irradiated with a 1064 nm laser, their oxygenation status is subsequently improved, and the combination of photothermal therapy and RT achieves remarkable synergistic therapeutic effects. This work provides a novel idea to design a new-generation nanomedicine for tumor thermoradiotherapy.

Abstract
A functional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanosensor which can simultaneously detect nitric oxide (NO) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in living cells is explored. The SERS nanosensor is fabricated through modifying gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with newly synthesized 3,4-diaminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester (DAPBAP), which has two reactive groups. The simultaneous detection achieved in this work is not only because of the SERS spectral changes of the nanosensor resulting from the dual reactivity of DAPBAP on AuNPs with NO and ONOO- but also by the narrow SERS bands suitable for multiplex detection. Owing to the combination of SERS fingerprinting information and chemical reaction specificity, the nanosensor has great selectivity for NO and ONOO-, respectively. In addition, the nanosensor has a wide linearity range from 0 to 1.0 × 10-4 M with a submicromolar sensitivity. More importantly, simultaneous monitoring of NO and ONOO- in the Raw264.7 cells has been fulfilled by this functional nanosensor, which shows that the SERS strategy will be promising in comprehension of the physiological issues related with NO and ONOO-.

Abstract
Mitochondria emerge as an important target for cancer therapy. Herein, by taking advantage of the recently reported high temperature of mitochondria, a well-tuned thermoresponsive nanocarrier was developed for specifically delivering the anticancer drug, paclitaxel (PTX), to mitochondria in cancer cells. The temperature-dependent delivery of drugs to mitochondria represents a novel anticancer strategy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the uptake of photosensitizers by cancer cells and the irradiation of a light with a specific wavelength to trigger a series of photochemical reactions based on the generation of reactive oxygen, leading to cancer cell death. PDT has been widely used in various fields of biomedicine. However, the molecular events of the cancer cell nucleus during the PDT process are still unclear. In this work, a nuclear-targeted gold nanorod Raman nanoprobe combined with surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) was exploited to investigate the dynamic intranuclear molecular changes of B16 cells (a murine melanoma cell line) treated with a photosensitizer (Chlorin e6) and the specific light (650 nm). The SERS spectra of the cell nucleus during the PDT treatment were recorded in situ and the spectroscopic analysis of the dynamics of the nucleus uncovered two main events in the therapeutic process: the protein degradation and the DNA fragmentation. We expect that these findings are of vital significance in having a better understanding of the PDT mechanism acting on the cancer cell nucleus and can further help us to design and develop more effective therapeutic platforms and methods.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles showed potent efficacy for diagnosis and therapy of cancer, but their clinical applications are limited by their poor tumor-targeting ability. Herein, peptide-functionalized 9 nm NaGdF4 nanoparticles (termed as, NaGdF4@bp-peptide NPs) have been synthesized through the Gd–phosphate coordination reaction of the spherical NaGdF4 nanoparticles with phosphopeptides (sequence: KLAKLAKKLAKLAKG(p-S)GAKRGARSTA, p-S means phosphorylated serine) including a p32 protein binding motif incorporating a cell-penetrating function, and a proapoptotic domain. The NaGdF4@bp-peptide NPs are ready to be efficiently internalized by cancer cells; they show a much higher cytotoxicity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells than the casein phosphopeptide (CPP) modified NaGdF4 nanoparticles (termed as, NaGdF4@CPP NPs). Using mouse-bearing MCF-7 breast cancer as a model system, the in vivo experimental results demonstrate that NaGdF4@bp-peptide NPs have integration of T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast and tumor-targeting functionalities, and are able to suppress tumor growth without causing systemic toxicity. NaGdF4@bp-peptide nanoparticles have been used as a T1-weighted MR contrast agent with active-tumor targeting and antitumor ability.![]()

Abstract
Nowadays, photothermal therapy (PTT) utilizing photothermal conversion agents (PTAs) to generate sufficient heat under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation for tumor ablation has attracted extensive research attention. Despite the great advancement, the therapeutic efficacy of PTT in tumor treatment is still compromised by several obstacles, such as low photothermal conversion efficiency, poor stability of PTAs, inadequate tumor accumulation and cellular uptake, and thermal-resistance of tumors, as well as tumor recurrence and metastasis. In this review, we highlight recent advances in nanomaterials that focus on overcoming the above obstacles and thus enhancing the therapeutic outcome of PTT. PTAs with improved photothermal performance and modification strategies for efficient PTT are summarized, which are further classified into three main types, utilizing activatable PTAs, improving the local concentration of PTAs, and overcoming intrinsic drawbacks of PTT (e.g., heat shock responses). Furthermore, the limitations and challenges of nanomaterials for enhanced PTT are also discussed.
