Abstract
Stimulus-responsive materials hold significant promise for antitumor applications due to their variable structures and physical properties. In this paper, a series of peptides with a responsive viologen derivative, Pep-CnV (n = 1, 2, 3) were designed and synthesized. The process and mechanism of the interaction were studied and discussed. An ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer were used to study their redox responsiveness. Additionally, their secondary structures were measured by Circular Dichroism (CD) in the presence or absence of the reductant, Na2SO3. DPPC and DPPG liposomes were prepared to mimic normal and tumor cell membranes. The interaction between Pep-CnV and biomembranes was investigated by the measurements of surface tension and cargo leakage. Results proved Pep-CnV was more likely to interact with the DPPG liposome and destroy its biomembrane under the stimulus of the reductant. And the destruction increased with the length of the hydrophobic tail chain. Pep-CnV showed its potential as an intelligent antitumor agent.

Abstract
The autoluminescence nanoplatform based on a single-atom catalyst has the potential to achieve accurate tumor diagnosis and treatment. Taking advantage of this, glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) and chitosan-modified single Fe-N-C atom catalysts (SAF NPs) loaded with luminol-curcumin (Cur) were fabricated (SAF-LCCG). Once delivered to the tumor, this autoluminescence SAF-LCCG could target the mitochondria to restrain tumor metastasis and promote the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Then, SAF NPs with Fenton-like properties could actively utilize intracellular H2O2 to produce ·OH for chemodynamic therapy. After that, excess ·OH and H2O2 were transmitted to luminol to emit blue-violet chemiluminescence (CL) for cancer cell imaging. Synchronously, light was transferred to Cur to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) which realized photodynamic therapy. Besides, Cur could be served as a chemotherapeutic drug to enhance intracellular ROS for penetrating therapy. More importantly, the massive accumulation of ROS in cancer cells can promote the CL intensity of luminol, which realized the cyclic ROS amplification. This autoluminescence nanoplatform was developed for accurate cancer cell imaging, effective inhibition of tumor metastasis, and synergistic and penetrated treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL), a distinct luminescent process by taking advantage of chemical reactions rather than external light source, has recently attracted considerable research interests due to its high sensitivity and low background signal. The sensitivity and specificity of chemiluminescent signals in complex tumor microenvironment provide a sound basis for accurate detection of tumors. Various chemiluminescent nanoprobes with superior performance have been obtained by structural modification of chemiluminescent units or introduction of fluorescent dyes. In this review, we focused on the recent progress of chemiluminescent polymeric systems based on various chromophore substrates, including luminol, peroxyoxalates, 1, 2-dioxetanes and their derivatives for tumor detecting. And we also emphasized the design strategies, mechanisms and diagnostic applications of representative chemiluminescent polymeric nanoprobes. Finally, the critical challenges and perspectives of chemiluminescent systems usage in tumor diagnosis were also discussed.

Organic persistent luminescence imaging for biomedical applications. Mater Today Bio 2022; 17:100481. [PMID: 36388456 PMCID: PMC9647223 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Persistent luminescence is a unique visual phenomenon that occurs after cessation of excitation light irradiation or following oxidization of luminescent molecules. The energy stored within the molecule is released in a delayed manner, resulting in luminescence that can be maintained for seconds, minutes, hours, or even days. Organic persistent luminescence materials (OPLMs) are highly robust and their facile modification and assembly into biocompatible nanostructures makes them attractive tools for in vivo bioimaging, whilst offering an alternative to conventional fluorescence imaging materials for biomedical applications. In this review, we give attention to the existing limitations of each class of OPLM-based molecular bioimaging probes based on their luminescence mechanisms, and how recent research progress has driven efforts to circumvent their shortcomings. We discuss the multifunctionality-focused design strategies, and the broad biological application prospects of these molecular probes. Furthermore, we provide insights into the next generation of OPLMs being developed for bioimaging techniques.
