Multiple pathways for lanthanide sensitization in self-assembled aqueous complexes. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 323:124926. [PMID: 39116593 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Lanthanide photoluminescence (PL) emission has attracted much attention for technological and bioimaging applications because of its particularly interesting features, such as narrow emission bands and very long PL lifetimes. However, this emission process necessitates a preceding step of energy transfer from suitable antennas. While biocompatible applications require luminophores that are stable in aqueous media, most lanthanide-based emitters are quenched by water molecules. Previously, we described a small luminophore, 8-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydrocyclopenta[de]quinoline-3-phosphonic acid (PAnt), which is capable of dynamically coordinating with Tb(III) and Eu(III), and its exchangeable behavior improved their performance in PL lifetime imaging microscopy (PLIM) compared with conventional lanthanide cryptate imaging agents. Herein, we report an in-depth photophysical and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) computational study that reveals different sensitization mechanisms for Eu(III) and Tb(III) in stable complexes formed in water. Understanding this unique behavior in aqueous media enables the exploration of different applications in bioimaging or novel emitting materials.

Abstract
Treating glioblastoma (GBM) by resecting to a large extent can prolong a patient's survival by controlling the tumor cells, but excessive resection may produce postoperative complications by perturbing the brain structures. Therefore, various imaging procedures have been employed to successfully diagnose and resect with utmost caution and to protect vital structural or functional features. Fluorescence tagging is generally used as an intraoperative imaging technique in glioma cells in collaboration with other surgical tools such as MRI and navigation methods. However, the existing fluorescent probes may have several limitations, including poor selectivity, less photostability, false signals, and intraoperative re-administration when used in clinical and preclinical studies for glioma surgery. The involvement of smart fluorogenic materials, specifically fluorescent dyes, and biomarker-amended cell-penetrable fluorescent probes have noteworthy advantages for precise glioma imaging. This review outlines the contemporary advancements of fluorescent probes for imaging glioma cells along with their challenges and visions, with the anticipation to develop next-generation smart glioblastoma detection modalities.

Abstract
Neurological disorders are a group of disorders with motor, sensory or cognitive damage, caused by dysfunction of the central or peripheral nervous system. Cyclin-dependent kinases 5 (Cdk5) is of vital significance for the development of the nervous system, including the migration and differentiation of neurons, the formation of synapses, and axon regeneration. However, when the nervous system is subject to pathological stimulation, aberrant activation of Cdk5 will induce abnormal phosphorylation of a variety of substrates, resulting in a cascade signaling pathway, and thus lead to pathological changes. Cdk5 is intimately related to the pathological mechanism of a variety of neurological disorders, such as A-β protein formation in Alzheimer’s disease, mitochondrial fragmentation in cerebral ischemia, and apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson’s disease. It is worth noting that Cdk5 inhibitors have been reported to have neuroprotective effects by inhibiting related pathological processes. Therefore, in this review, we will briefly introduce the physiological and pathological mechanisms of Cdk5 in the nervous system, focusing on the recent advances of Cdk5 in neurological disorders and the prospect of targeted Cdk5 for the treatment of neurological disorders.

Abstract
![]()
The small molecule
8-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydrocyclopenta[de]quinoline-3-carboxylic
acid (2b) behaves as a reactive non-fluorescent Michael
acceptor, which after reaction with thiols becomes fluorescent, and
an efficient Eu3+ antenna, after self-assembling with this
cation in water. This behavior makes 2b a highly selective
GSH biosensor, which has demonstrated high potential for studies in
murine and human cells of the immune system (CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and B cells) using flow cytometry. GSH can be monitored
by the fluorescence of the product of addition to 2b (445
nm) or by the luminescence of Eu3+ (592 nm). 2b was able to capture baseline differences in GSH intracellular levels
among murine and human CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and B
cells. We also successfully used 2b to monitor intracellular
changes in GSH associated with the metabolic variations governing
the induction of CD4+ naïve T cells into regulatory
T cells (TREG).

Abstract
The precise knowledge of intracellular polarity, a physiological parameter that involves complex and intertwined intracellular mechanisms, may be relevant in the study of important diseases like cancer or Alzheimer’s. In this technical note, we illustrate our recently developed, accurate method for obtaining intracellular polarity maps employing potent fluorescence microscopy techniques. Our method is based on the selection of appropriate luminescent probes, in which several emission properties vary with microenvironment polarity, specifically spectral shifts and luminescence lifetime. A multilinear calibration is performed, correlating polarity vs. spectral shift vs. luminescence lifetime, to generate a powerful and error-free 3D space for reliable interpolation of microscopy data. Multidimensional luminescence microscopy is then used to obtain simultaneously spectral shift and luminescence lifetime images, which are then interpolated in the 3D calibration space, resulting in accurate, quantitative polarity maps.

Abstract
The aberrant aggregation of certain peptides and proteins, forming extracellular plaques of fibrillar material, is one of the hallmarks of amyloid diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Herein, we have designed a new family of solvatochromic dyes based on the 9-amino-quinolimide moiety capable of reporting during the early stages of amyloid fibrillization. We have rationally improved the photophysical properties of quinolimides by placing diverse amino groups at the 9-position of the quinolimide core, leading to higher solvatochromic and fluorogenic character and higher lifetime dependence on the hydrophobicity of the environment, which represent excellent properties for the sensitive detection of prefibrillar aggregates. Among the different probes prepared, the 9-azetidinyl-quinolimide derivative showed striking performance in the following β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) aggregation in solution in real time and identifying the formation of different types of early oligomers of Aβ, the most important species linked to cytotoxicity, using novel, multidimensional fluorescence microscopy, with one- or two-photon excitation. Interestingly, the new dye allowed the visualization of proteinaceous inclusion bodies in a zebrafish model with neuronal damage induced by the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. Our results support the potential of the novel fluorophores as powerful tools to follow amyloid aggregation using fluorescence microscopy in vivo, revealing heterogeneous populations of different types of aggregates and, more broadly, to study protein interactions.

Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of amyloid neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) has significantly increased in developed countries due to increased life expectancy. This amyloid disease is characterized by the presence of accumulations and deposits of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) in neuronal tissue, leading to the formation of oligomers, fibers, and plaques. First, oligomeric intermediates that arise during the aggregation process are currently thought to be primarily responsible for cytotoxicity in cells. This work aims to provide further insights into the mechanisms of cytotoxicity by studying the interaction of Aβ aggregates with Neuro-2a (N2a) neuronal cells and the effects caused by this interaction. For this purpose, we have exploited the advantages of advanced, multidimensional fluorescence microscopy techniques to determine whether different types of Aβ are involved in higher rates of cellular toxicity, and we measured the cellular stress caused by such aggregates by using a fluorogenic intracellular biothiol sensor. Stress provoked by the peptide is evident by N2a cells generating high levels of biothiols as a defense mechanism. In our study, we demonstrate that Aβ aggregates act as seeds for aggregate growth upon interacting with the cellular membrane, which results in cell permeability and damage and induces lysis. In parallel, these damaged cells undergo a significant increase in intracellular biothiol levels.

Abstract
Two new families of lanthanide antennas are described. 8-Methoxy-4,5-dihydrocyclopenta[de]quinolin-2(1H)-one phosphonates or carboxylates behave as selective antennas exhibiting Eu3+ luminescence in organic solvents, while quinolin-2(1H)-one analogues selectively sensitize the Tb3+ emission. These emissions are quenched by H2O addition. Based on this behaviour, the new lanthanide antennas can be used as highly sensitive water sensors.

A 4,5-quinolimide-based fluorescent sensor for sequential detection of Cu 2+ and cysteine in water and living cells with application in a memorized device. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 230:118030.

Abstract
In this study, a new 4,5-quinolimide-based fluorescent sensor BNC was synthesized and characterized. BNC showed single selectivity for Cu2+via the "turn-off" fluorescence among various common metal ions. After forming a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with Cu2+, the detection limit (LOD) of BNC for Cu2+ was measured to be 0.44 μM. Subsequently, the in situ generated BNC-Cu2+ complex had been used for sensing Cys with the LOD of 1.5 μM through the displacement strategy, resulting in the revivable emission of BNC. According to the "off-on-off" fluorescence cycle of BNC generated by the alternate addition of Cu2+ and Cys, a reversible memorized device with "read-write-read-erase" behavior was constructed at the molecular level. Furthermore, the recoveries of Cu2+ in lake water with BNC were in the range of 95.0-105%. And sequential fluorescence imagings of BNC for Cu2+ and Cys were successfully applied in living yeast cells.

Abstract
A series of thioarylmaleimides was synthesized to investigate how variation of the thioaryl group can be used to control absorption and emission properties in solution and in the solid-state. Fine-tuning of the photochemical properties was found to be possible using this strategy, and a rainbow of colours and emission wavelengths are accessible in a single step from commercially available compounds.

Abstract
A method of selectively activating carbon–nitrogen triple bonds has been developed to access 1H-isoindole AIE fluorophores for lipid droplet imaging.
A novel strategy has been established to assemble a series of single (Z)- or (E)-1H-isoindole derivatives through selectively and sequentially activating carbon–nitrogen triple bonds in a multicomponent system containing various nucleophilic and electrophilic sites. The reaction provides efficient access to structurally unique fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission characteristics. These new fluorophores show fluorescence wavelengths and efficiencies that can be modulated and have excellent potential to specifically light up lipid droplets (LDs) in living cells with bright fluorescence, low cytotoxicity and better photostability than commercially available LD-specific dyes.

Abstract
Two novel highly water-soluble fluorescence sensing 1,8-naphthalimides are synthesized and investigated. The novel compounds are designed on the "fluorophore-receptor1-spacer-receptor2" model as a molecular fluorescence probe for determination of cations and anions in 100% aqueous media. The novel probes comprising N-imide and N-phenylpiperazine or morpholine substituents are capable to operate simultaneously via ICT and PET signaling mechanism as a function of pH and to recognize selectively Cu2+ and Hg2+ over the other representative metal ions. Due to the remarkable fluorescence changes in the presence of protons, hydroxyl anions, Hg2+ and Cu2+, INH and doubly disabled INH logic gates are executed and the systems are able to act as a single output combinatorial logic circuit with four chemical inputs.
