[PMID: 38489864 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112523] [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: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria poses a significant threat to public health and ranks among the principal causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is an emerging therapeutic technique that has excellent potential to embark upon antibiotic resistance problems. The efficacy of this therapy hinges on the careful selection of suitable photosensitizers (PSs). Transition metal complexes, such as Ruthenium (Ru) and Iridium (Ir), are highly suitable for use as PSs because of their surface plasmonic resonance, crystal structure, optical characteristics, and photonics. These metals belong to the platinum family and exhibit similar chemical behavior due to their partially filled d-shells. Ruthenium and Iridium-based complexes generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which interact with proteins and DNA to induce cell death. As photodynamic therapeutic agents, these complexes have been widely studied for their efficacy against cancer cells, but their potential for antibacterial activity remains largely unexplored. Our study focuses on exploring the antibacterial photodynamic effect of Ruthenium and Iridium-based complexes against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of various types of research in this area, including the structures, synthesis methods, and antibacterial photodynamic applications of these complexes. Our findings will provide valuable insights into the design, development, and modification of PSs to enhance their photodynamic therapeutic effect on bacteria, along with a clear understanding of their mechanism of action.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic modality employed for the treatment of various types of cancers, localized infections, and other diseases. Upon illumination, the photo-excited photosensitizer generates singlet oxygen and other reactive species, thereby inducing cytotoxicity in the target cells. The hypoxic tumour microenvironment (TME), however, poses a limitation on the supply of oxygen in tumour tissues. Moreover, under such conditions, tumour metastasis and drug resistance frequently occur, further compromising the efficacy of PDT in combating tumours. Traditionally, type I photosensitizers with lower oxygen consumption demonstrate significant potential in overcoming hypoxic environments and play a crucial role in determining the therapeutic efficacy of PDT because type I photosensitizers can generate highly cytotoxic free radicals. In comparison, type II photosensitizers exhibit high oxygen dependence. The rate of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the type II process is significantly higher than that in the type I process. Thus, the efficiency and selectivity of PDT depend on the properties of the photosensitizer. Here, the recent development and application of type I and type II photosensitizers, mainly in the past year, are summarized. The design methods, electronic structures, photophysical properties, lipophilic properties, electric charge, and other molecular characteristics of these photosensitizers are discussed in detail. These modifications alter the microstructure of photosensitizers and directly impact the results of PDT. The main content of this paper will have a positive promoting and inspiring effect on the future development of PDT.

The application of proteomics and phosphoproteomics to reveal the molecular mechanism of salidroside in ameliorating myocardial hypoxia. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30433. [PMID: 38737233 PMCID: PMC11088312 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Salidroside (SAL), belonging to a kind of the main active ingredient of Rhodiola rosea, is extensively utilized for anti-hypoxia and prevention of altitude sickness in the plateau region of China. However, the research on the systemic changes induced by SAL at intracellular protein level is still limited, especially at protein phosphorylation level. These limitations hinder a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of SAL. This study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanism of SAL in ameliorating the acute myocardial hypoxia induced by cobalt chloride using integrated proteomics and phosphoproteomics. We successfully identified 165 differentially expressed proteins and 266 differentially expressed phosphosites in H9c2 cells following SAL treatment under hypoxic conditions. Bioinformatics analysis and biological experiment validation revealed that SAL significantly antagonized CoCl2-mediated cell cycle arrest by downregulating CCND1 expression and upregulating AURKA, AURKAB, CCND3 and PLK1 expression. Additionally, SAL can stabilize the cytoskeleton through upregulating the Kinesin Family (KIF) members expression. Our study systematically revealed that SAL had the ability to protect myocardial cells against CoCl2-induced hypoxia through multiple biological pathways, including enhancing the spindle stability, maintaining the cell cycle, relieving DNA damage, and antagonizing cell apoptosis. This study supplies a comprehension perspective on the alterations at protein and protein phosphorylation levels induced by SAL treatment, thereby expanded our knowledge of the anti-hypoxic mechanisms of SAL. Moreover, this study provides a valuable resource for further investigating the effects of SAL.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is widely recognized as an effective approach for treating cancer due to its ability to eliminate cancer cells using chemotherapeutic drugs. However, traditional chemotherapy suffers from various drawbacks, including limited solubility and stability of drugs, severe side effects, low bioavailability, drug resistance, and challenges in tracking treatment efficacy. These limitations greatly hinder its widespread clinical application. In contrast, supramolecular chemotherapy, which relies on host-guest interactions, presents a promising alternative by offering highly efficient and minimally toxic anticancer drug delivery. In this review, an overview of recent advancements in supramolecular chemotherapy based on host-guest interactions is provided. The significant role it plays in guiding cancer therapy is emphasized. Drawing on a wealth of cutting-edge research, herein, a timely and valuable resource for individuals interested in the field of supramolecular chemotherapy or cancer therapy, is presented. Furthermore, this review contributes to the progression of the field of supramolecular chemotherapy toward clinical application.

Abstract
ConspectusSupramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) are predictable and size-tunable supramolecular self-assemblies constructed through directional coordination bonds between readily available organic ligands and metallic receptors. Based on planar and 3D structures, SCCs can be mainly divided into two categories: metallacycles (e.g., rhomboidal, triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal) and metallacages (e.g., tetrahedral, hexahedral, and dodecahedral). The directional coordination bonds enable the efficient formation of metallacycles and metallacages with well-defined architectures and geometries. SCCs exhibit several advantages, including good directionality, strong interaction force, tunable modularity, and good solution processability, making them highly attractive for biomedical applications, especially in cellular imaging and cancer therapy. Compared with their molecular precursors, SCCs demonstrate enhanced cellular uptake and a strengthened tumor accumulation effect, owing to their inherently charged structures. These properties and the chemotherapeutic potential inherent to organic platinum complexes have promoted their widespread application in antitumor therapy. Furthermore, the defined structures of SCCs, achieved via the design modification of assembly elements and introduction of different functional groups, enable them to combat malignant tumors through multipronged treatment modalities. Because the development of cancer-treatment methodologies integrated in clinics has evolved from single-modality chemotherapy to synergistic multimodal therapy, the development of functional SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy is crucial. While some pioneering reviews have explored the bioapplications of SCCs, often categorized by a specific function or focusing on the specific metal or ligand types, a comprehensive exploration of their synergistic multifunctionality is a critical gap in the current literature.In this Account, we focus on platinum-based SCCs and their applications in cancer therapy. While other metals, such as Pd-, Rh-, Ru-, and Ir-based SCCs, have been explored for cancer therapy by Therrien and Casini et al., platinum-based SCCs have garnered significant interest, owing to their unique advantages in antitumor therapy. These platinum-based SCCs, which enhance antitumor efficacy, are considered prominent candidates for cancer therapies owing to their desirable properties, such as potent antitumor activity, exceptionally low systemic toxicity, active tumor-targeting ability, and enhanced cellular uptake. Furthermore, diverse diagnostic and therapeutic modalities (e.g., chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and photodynamic therapy) can be integrated into a single platform based on platinum-based SCCs for cancer therapy. Consequently, herein, we summarize our recent research on platinum-based SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy with particular emphasis on the cooperative interplay between different therapeutic methods. In the Conclusions section, we present the key advancements achieved on the basis of our research findings and propose future directions that may significantly impact the field.

Abstract
Though immunogenic cell death (ICD) has garnered significant attention in the realm of anticancer therapies, effectively stimulating strong immune responses with minimal side effects in deep-seated tumors remains challenging. Herein, we introduce a novel self-assembled near-infrared-light-activated ruthenium(II) metallacycle, Ru1105 (λem = 1105 nm), as a first example of a Ru(II) supramolecular ICD inducer. Ru1105 synergistically potentiates immunomodulatory responses and reduces adverse effects in deep-seated tumors through multiple regulated approaches, including NIR-light excitation, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, selective targeting of tumor cells, precision organelle localization, and improved tumor penetration/retention capabilities. Specifically, Ru1105 demonstrates excellent depth-activated ROS production (∼1 cm), strong resistance to diffusion, and anti-ROS quenching. Moreover, Ru1105 exhibits promising results in cellular uptake and ROS generation in cancer cells and multicellular tumor spheroids. Importantly, Ru1105 induces more efficient ICD in an ultralow dose (10 μM) compared to the conventional anticancer agent, oxaliplatin (300 μM). In vivo experiments further confirm Ru1105's potency as an ICD inducer, eliciting CD8+ T cell responses and depleting Foxp3+ T cells with minimal adverse effects. Our research lays the foundation for the design of secure and exceptionally potent metal-based ICD agents in immunotherapy.

Abstract
The exploitation of novel wound healing methods with real-time infection sensing and high spatiotemporal precision is highly important for human health. Pt-based metal-organic cycles/cages (MOCs) have been employed as multifunctional antibacterial agents due to their superior Pt-related therapeutic efficiency, various functional subunits and specific geometries. However, how to rationally apply these nanoscale MOCs on the macroscale with controllable therapeutic output is still challenging. Here, a centimeter-scale Pt MOC film was constructed via multistage assembly and subsequently coated on a N,N'-dimethylated dipyridinium thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole (MPT)-stained silk fabric to form a smart wound dressing for bacterial sensing and wound healing. The MPT on silk fabric could be used to monitor wound infection in real-time through the bacteria-mediated reduction of MPT to its radical form via a color change. The MPT radical also exhibited an excellent photothermal effect under 660 nm light irradiation, which could not only be applied for photothermal therapy but also induce the disassembly of the Pt MOC film suprastructure. The highly ordered Pt MOC film suprastructure exhibited high biosafety, while it also showed improved antibacterial efficiency after thermally induced disassembly. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that the combination of the Pt MOC film and MPT-stained silk can provide real-time information on wound infection for timely treatment through noninvasive techniques. This study paves the way for bacterial sensing and wound healing with centimeter-scale metal-organic materials.

Abstract
Owing to their capacity for dynamically linking two or more functional molecules, supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs), exemplified by two-dimensional (2D) metallacycles and three-dimensional (3D) metallacages, have gained increasing significance in biomedical applications. However, their inherent hydrophobicity and self-assembly driven by heavy metal ions present common challenges in their applications. These challenges can be overcome by enhancing the aqueous solubility and in vivo circulation stability of SCCs, alongside minimizing their side effects during treatment. Addressing these challenges is crucial for advancing the fundamental research of SCCs and their subsequent clinical translation. In this review, drawing on extensive contemporary research, we offer a thorough and systematic analysis of the strategies employed by SCCs to surmount these prevalent yet pivotal obstacles. Additionally, we explore further potential challenges and prospects for the broader application of SCCs in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an emerging cancer treatment, requires the development of highly desirable photosensitizers (PSs) with integrated functional groups to achieve enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Coordination-driven self-assembly (CDSA) would provide an alternative approach for combining multiple PSs synergistically. Here, we demonstrate a simple yet powerful strategy of combining conventional chromophores (tetraphenylethylene, porphyrin, or Zn-porphyrin) with pyridinium salt PSs together through condensation reactions, followed by CDSA to construct a series of novel metallo-supramolecular PSs (S1-S3). The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is dramatically enhanced by the direct combination of two different PSs, and further reinforced in the subsequent ensembles. Among all the ensembles, S2 with two porphyrin cores shows the highest ROS generation efficiency, specific interactions with lysosome, and strong emission for probing cells. Moreover, the cellular and living experiments confirm that S2 has excellent PDT efficacy, biocompatibility, and biosafety. As such, this study will enable the development of more efficient PSs with potential clinical applications.

Rationally Designed Benzobisthiadiazole-Based Covalent Organic Framework for High-Performance NIR-II Fluorescence Imaging-Guided Photodynamic Therapy. Adv Healthc Mater 2024:e2303842.

Abstract
Although being applied as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) fail the precise fluorescence imaging in vivo and phototherapy in deep-tissue, due to short excitation/emission wavelengths. Herein, this work proposes the first example of NIR-II emissive and benzobisthiadiazole-based COF-980. Comparing to its ligands, the structure of COF-980 can more efficiently reducing the energy gap (ΔES1-T1) between the excited state and the triplet state to enhance photodynamic therapy efficiency. Importantly, COF-980 demonstrates high photostability, good anti-diffusion property, superior reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency, promising imaging ability, and ROS production in deep tissue (≈8 mm). Surprisingly, COF-980 combined with laser irradiation could trigger larger amount of intracellular ROS to high efficiently induce cancer cell death. Notably, COF-980 NPs precisely enable PDT guided by NIR-II fluorescence imaging that effectively inhibit the 4T1 tumor growth with negligible adverse effects. This study provides a universal approach to developing long-wavelength emissive COFs and exploits its applications for biomedicine.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-indole-3-formylhydrazine (JHK) was designed and synthesized based on the condensation reaction of indole-3-formylhydrazine and salicylaldehyde. The probe JHK solution could highly selectively recognize Al3+ by the obvious fluorescence enhancement (288-fold) after adding Al3+. And the probe solution with Al3+ had a very high fluorescence quantum yield (89.29 %). The detection limit was calculated to be 1.135 nM, which was significantly lower than many reported detection limits, indicating that the probe JHK had pretty good sensitivity. The ratio of JHK to Al3+ (1:1) and the sensing mechanism were determined by Job's plot, 1H NMR spectra, FTIR spectra, ESI-MS and Gaussian calculation. The probe solution and medium-speed filter paper were successfully used to make test papers for more convenient detection of Al3+. Furthermore, the probe JHK had been successfully applied to the detection of Al3+ in real water, zebrafish and living cells.

Abstract
Herein, we show a pair of leucine-rich L- and D-phosphopeptides which self-assemble into twisting nanofibers, whose secondary structures contain a strong β-sheet component after being dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP). While being incubated with ALP overexpressing osteosarcoma cells, both of the peptides self-assemble in the nuclei and induce cell death. The cell death involves multiple cell death modalities and occurs along with the disruption of cell membranes. Enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA) inhibits osteosarcoma cells and shows no side effect to other cells. In addition, the cancer cells hardly gain drug resistance after repeated treatment. This work reports a pair of EISA-based nanofibers to target cell nuclei, and also provides a novel chemotherapeutic agent to inhibit osteosarcoma cells without side effects and drug resistance.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can lead to the development of large-scale outbreaks of diseases that pose a serious threat to human life and health. Also, conventional antibiotics are prone to producing resistance and allergic reactions, and their therapeutic effect is dramatically diminished when bacterial communities form biofilms. Fortunately, well-designed supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) have been used as antibacterials or anti-biofilms in recent years. SCCs can kill bacteria by directly engaging with the bacterial surface through electrostatic interactions or by penetrating the bacterial membrane through the auxiliary effect of cell-penetrating peptides. Furthermore, scientists have engineered fluorescent SCCs that can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eliminate bacteria when exposed to laser irradiation, and they also demonstrate outstanding performance in in vivo imaging, enabling integrated diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we summarize the design strategy and applications of SCCs in antibacterials or anti-biofilms and provide an outlook on future research.

Abstract
Nanodrug delivery systems have demonstrated a great potential for tumor therapy with the development of nanotechnology. Nonetheless, traditional drug delivery systems are faced with issues such as complex synthetic procedures, low reproducibility, nonspecific distribution, impenetrability of biological barrier, systemic toxicity, etc. In recent years, phage-based nanoplatforms have attracted increasing attention in tumor treatment for their regular structure, fantastic carrying property, high transduction efficiency and biosafety. Notably, therapeutic or targeting peptides can be expressed on the surface of the phages through phage display technology, enabling the phage vectors to possess multifunctions. As a result, the drug delivery efficiency on tumor will be vastly improved, thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficacy while reducing the side effects on normal tissues. Moreover, phages can overcome the hindrance of biofilm barrier to elicit antitumor effects, which exhibit great advantages compared with traditional synthetic drug delivery systems. Herein, this review not only summarizes the structure and biology of the phages, but also presents their potential as prominent nanoplatforms against tumor in different pathways to inspire the development of effective nanomedicine.

Abstract
High efficiency, stability, long emission wavelength (NIR-II), and good biocompatibility are crucial for photosensitizers in phototherapy. However, current Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved organic fluorophores exhibit poor chemical stability and photostability as well as short emission wavelength, limiting their clinical usage. To address this, we developed Se-IR1100, a novel organic photosensitizer with a photostable and thermostable benzobisthiadiazole (BBTD) backbone. By incorporating selenium as a heavy atom and constructing a D-A-D structure, Se-IR1100 exhibits a maximum fluorescence emission wavelength of 1100 nm. Compared with FDA-approved indocyanine green (ICG), DSPE-PEGylated Se-IR1100 nanoparticles exhibit prominent photostability and long-lasting photothermal effects. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, Se-IR1100 NPs efficiently convert light energy into heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS), inducing cancer cell death in cellular studies and living organisms while maintaining biocompatibility. With salient photostability and a photothermal conversion rate of 55.37%, Se-IR1100 NPs hold promise as a superior photosensitizer for diagnostic and therapeutic agents in oncology. Overall, we have designed and optimized a multifunctional photosensitizer Se-IR1100 with good biocompatibility that performs NIR-II fluorescence imaging and phototherapy. This dual-strategy method may offer novel approaches for the development of multifunctional probes using dual-strategy or even multi-strategy methods in bioimaging, disease diagnosis, and therapy.

Abstract
Despite the tremendous progress in cancer treatment in recent decades, cancers often become resistant due to multiple mechanisms, such as intrinsic or acquired multidrug resistance, which leads to unsatisfactory treatment effects or accompanying metastasis and recurrence, ultimately to treatment failure. With a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of tumors, researchers have realized that treatment designs targeting tumor resistance mechanisms would be a promising strategy to break the therapeutic deadlock. Nanodelivery systems have excellent physicochemical properties, including highly efficient tissue-specific delivery, substantial specific surface area, and controllable surface chemistry, which endow nanodelivery systems with capabilities such as precise targeting, deep penetration, responsive drug release, multidrug codelivery, and multimodal synergy, which are currently widely used in biomedical researches and bring a new dawn for overcoming cancer resistance. Based on the mechanisms of tumor therapeutic resistance, this review summarizes the research progress of nanodelivery systems for overcoming tumor resistance to improve therapeutic efficacy in recent years and offers prospects and challenges of the application of nanodelivery systems for overcoming cancer resistance.

Abstract
Discrete organometallic complexes with defined structures are proceeding rapidly in combating malignant tumors due to their multipronged treatment modalities. Many innovative superiorities, such as high antitumor activity, extremely low systemic toxicity, active targeting ability, and enhanced cellular uptake, make them more competent for clinical applications than individual precursors. In particular, coordination-induced regulation of luminescence and photophysical properties of organic light-emitting ligands has demonstrated significant potential in the timely evaluation of therapeutic efficacy by bioimaging and enabled synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT). This review highlights instructive examples of multimodal radiochemotherapy platforms for cancer ablation based on self-assembled metallacycles/metallacages, which would be classified by functions in a progressive manner. Finally, the essential demands and some plausible prospects in this field for cancer therapy are also presented.

Abstract
Mitochondrial viscosity is a critical factor affecting numerous physiological processes, including phagocytosis. Abnormal viscosity in mitochondria is related to some pathological activities and diseases. Evaluating and detecting the changes in mitochondrial viscosity in vivo is crucial. Thus, a mitochondria-targeted red-emitting fluorescent probe (VP) was prepared, and can be used to detect viscosity with high selectivity and sensitivity. The synthesis of probe VP was as simple as two steps and the cost was low. In addition, the fluorescence intensity (log I615) exhibited an excellent relationship with viscosity (log η) in the range of 0.5 - 2.5 (R2 = 0.9985) in water/glycerol mixture. It is noteworthy that the probe VP displayed the highest signal-to-noise ratio (about 50-fold) for viscosity in water and glycerol system. The probe VP can visualize the mitochondrial viscosity change in living cells. More importantly, phagocytic test for BV2 cells further demonstrated that phagocytosis decreased with increased viscosity. Furthermore, VP was successfully used for monitoring the mitophagy process induced by starvation, and mitochondrial viscosity exhibited enhancement during mitophagy. The probe was a potential tool for studying viscosity and phagocytosis.

Abstract
The development of biocompatible and efficient nanoplatforms that combine diagnostic and therapeutic functions is of great importance for precise disease treatment. Melanin, an endogenous biopolymer present in living organisms, has attracted increasing attention as a versatile bioinspired functional platform owing to its unique physicochemical properties (e.g., high biocompatibility, strong chelation of metal ions, broadband light absorption, high drug binding properties) and inherent antioxidant, photoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. In this review, the fundamental physicochemical properties and preparation methods of natural melanin and melanin-like nanoparticles were outlined. A systematical description of the recent progress of melanin and melanin-like nanoparticles in single, dual-, and tri-multimodal imaging-guided the visual administration and treatment of osteoarthritis, acute liver injury, acute kidney injury, acute lung injury, brain injury, periodontitis, iron overload, etc. Was then given. Finally, it concluded with a reasoned discussion of current challenges toward clinical translation and future striving directions. Therefore, this comprehensive review provides insight into the current status of melanin and melanin-like nanoparticles research and is expected to optimize the design of novel melanin-based therapeutic platforms and further clinical translation.

Biomaterials 2023; 302:122361. [PMID: 37898022 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122361] [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: 07/08/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
Catalytic gold nanomaterials typically exhibit antibacterial properties, albeit significantly weaker than ionic gold in chrysotherapy. The inherent stability of gold nanoparticles prevents the release of gold ions, limiting their ability to achieve efficient antibacterial therapy. To address this limitation, we propose a novel sustained ionic gold release strategy through the construction of a mixed-valence gold-porphyrin coordination network (Au-Por). By adjusting the ratio of Au to porphyrin molecule, an ultrathin two-dimensional Au-Por nanosheet was successfully synthesized, which contains 85.9 % of Au (III). In addition, the remaining gold existed in the form of uniformly distributed ultrasmall nanoclusters on the Au-Por nanosheet. Notably, the Au-Por nanosheet exhibited a sustained release of gold ions. Thus, a multimodal antibacterial therapy was achieved by integrating the direct bactericidal action of ionic gold and lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated through the peroxidase (POD)-like activity of gold nanoclusters and photodynamic therapy (PDT) using porphyrins. The innovative Au-Por exerted broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria mediated by bacterial membrane disruption and DNA damage. Moreover, in vivo studies demonstrated the synergistic effect of Au-Por on combating skin wound infections and facilitating wound healing. Comprehensive safety evaluations proved that Au-Por exhibited no hematotoxicity or hepatorenal toxicity, and it also displayed rapid renal clearance after treatment, indicating favorable biocompatibility. The repurposing of chrysotherapy has revolutionized the antibacterial strategy of nanoscale gold, resulting in a dramatic boost in antibacterial activity and valuable insights for designing highly efficient nanoscale antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Recently, metal-based drugs have attracted relentless interest in the biomedical field. However, their short excitation/emission wavelengths and unsatisfactory therapeutic efficiency limit their biological applications in vivo. Currently, the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) provides more accurate imaging and therapeutic options. Thus, there has been a constant focus on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. Fortunately, supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) formed by the coordination-driven self-assembly of NIR-II emissive ligands can address the above issues. Importantly, metal receptors with chemotherapeutic properties in SCCs can bind to luminescent ligands, thus becoming a versatile therapeutic platform for chemotherapy, imaging and phototherapy. In this context, we systematically summarize the evolution of NIR-II emissive SCCs for biomedical applications and discuss future challenges and prospects.

Abstract
Second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging has shown great potential in the field of bioimaging. To achieve a better imaging effect, variety of NIR-II fluorescence probes have been designed and developed. Among them, semiconducting oligomers (SOs) have shown unique advantages including high photostability and quantum yield, making them promise in NIR-II fluorescence imaging. Herein, we design a SO nanoparticle (ASONi) for NIR-II fluorescence imaging of tumor. ASONi is composed of an azido-functionalized semiconducting oligomer as the NIR-II fluorescence emitter, and a benzene sulfonamide-ended DSPE-PEG (DSPE-PEG-CAi) as the stabilizer. Owing to the benzene sulfonamide groups on the surface, ASONi has the capability of targeting the carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell. Compared with ASON without benzene sulfonamide groups on the surface, ASONi has a 1.4-fold higher uptake for MDA-MB-231 cells and 1.5-fold higher breast tumor accumulation after i.v. injection. The NIR-II fluorescence signal of ASONi can light the tumor up within 4 h, demonstrating its capability of active tumor targeting and NIR-II fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Background Near-infrared cyanine dyes have high sensitivity and spatial resolution imaging capabilities, but they also have unavoidable drawbacks such as photobleaching, low water solubility, fluorescence quenching, and toxic side effects. As an effective biologic drug carrier, albumin combines with cyanine dyes to form albumin@dye nanoparticles. These nanoparticles can alleviate the aforementioned issues and are widely used in tumor imaging and photothermal therapy. Methods Herein, a newly synthesized near-infrared dye IR-817 was combined with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to create BSA@IR-817 nanoparticles. Through the detection of fluorescence emission and absorption, the optimal concentration and ratio of BSA and IR-817 were determined. Subsequently, dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for the physical characterization of the BSA@IR-817 nanoparticles. Finally, in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to assess the fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapeutic potential of BSA@IR-817 nanoparticles. Results IR-817 was adsorbed onto the BSA carrier by covalent conjugation and supramolecular encapsulation, resulting in the formation of dispersed, homogeneous, and stable nanoparticles with a particle size range of 120-220 nm. BSA@IR-817 not only improved the poor water solubility, fluorescence quenching, and toxic side effects of IR-817 but also enhanced the absorption and fluorescence emission peaks in the near-infrared region, as well as the fluorescence in the visible spectrum. In addition, BSA@IR-817 combined with laser 808 irradiation was able to convert light energy into heat energy with temperatures exceeding 50 °C. By creating a mouse model of subcutaneous melanoma, it was discovered that the tumor inhibition rate of BSA@IR-817 was greater than 99% after laser irradiation and that it achieved nearly complete tumor ablation without causing significant toxicity. Conclusion Our research, therefore, proposes the use of safe and effective photothermal nanoparticles for the imaging, diagnosis, and treatment of melanoma, and offers a promising strategy for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nickel oxide nanoparticles have gained tremendous attention recently in a variety of scientific domains thanks to their characteristic chemical, physical, optical, and biological properties. Due to the diversity of applications in various fields, different physicochemical methods have been used to synthesize nickel oxide nanoparticles. However, most conventional methods use hazardous chemicals during synthesis and become liable for potential health risks, while others are expensive and require a lot of energy to synthesize nanoparticles. As a result, the nanoparticles become less biocompatible and biologically inefficient. Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles is currently proposed as a valuable alternative to the physical and chemical methods, as it is a simple, non-toxic, cheap, green and facile approach. This synthetic method uses biological substrates such as plant extracts, microorganisms, and other biological products to synthesize nickel oxide nanoparticles. The various phytochemicals from plant extracts, enzymes or proteins from microorganisms, and other biological derivatives play as reducing, stabilizing, and capping agents to provide bioactive and biocompatible nickel oxide nanoscale material. This review discusses current findings and trends in the biogenic synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles and their biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antileishmanial, and anticancer, with an emphasis on antimicrobial and anticancer activity along with their mechanistic elucidation. Overall, this thorough study provides insight into the possibilities for the future development of green nickel oxide nanoparticles as therapeutic agents for a variety of ailments.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence is a noninvasive, highly sensitive, and high-resolution modality with great potential for in vivo imaging. Compared with "Always-On" probes, activatable NIR fluorescent probes with "Turn-Off/On" or "Ratiometric" fluorescent signals at target sites exhibit better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), wherein enzymes are one of the ideal triggers for probe activation, which play vital roles in a variety of biological processes. In this review, we provide an overview of enzyme-activatable NIR fluorescent probes and concentrate on the design strategies and sensing mechanisms. We focus on the aggregation/dispersion state of fluorophores after the interaction of probes and enzymes and finally discuss the current challenges and provide some perspective ideas for the construction of enzyme-activatable NIR fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Metal agents have made incredible strides in preclinical research and clinical applications in recent years, but their short emission/absorption wavelengths continue to be a barrier to their distribution, therapeutic action, visual tracking, and efficacy evaluation. Nowadays, the near-infrared window (NIR, 650-1700 nm) provides a more accurate imaging and treatment option. Thus, there has been ongoing research focusing on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. The design, characteristics, bioimaging, and therapy of NIR metal agents are covered in this overview of papers and reports published to date. To start with, we focus on describing the structure, design strategies, and photophysical properties of metal agents from the NIR-I (650-1000 nm) to NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) region, in order of molecular metal complexes (MMCs), metal-organic complexes (MOCs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Next, the biomedical applications brought by these superior photophysical and chemical properties for more accurate imaging and therapy are discussed. Finally, we explore the challenges and prospects of each type of NIR metal agent for future biomedical research and clinical translation.

Abstract
Inflammation is a critical physiological process in the human body, which is closely related to numerous disorders and cancers. ONOO- is generated and functionalized in the inflamed process, but the roles of ONOO- are still blurred. To illuminate the roles of ONOO-, we fabricated an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based fluorescence probe, HDM-Cl-PN, for the ratiometric determination of ONOO- in the inflamed mouse model. The probe displayed a gradual fluorescence increase at 676 nm and a fluorescence drop at 590 nm toward 0-10.5 μM ONOO-, and the ratio of 676 nm fluorescence and 590 nm fluorescence varied from 0.7 to 24.7. The significantly changed ratio and favorable selectivity ensure the sensitive detection of subtle changes in cellular ONOO-. Thanks to the excellent sensing performance, HDM-Cl-PNin vivo ratiometrically visualized ONOO- fluctuations in the LPS-triggered inflammatory process. Overall, this work not only expatiated the rational design for a ratiometric ONOO- probe but also built a bridge to investigate the connections between ONOO- and inflammation in living mice.

Abstract
Mitochondrial viscosity is closely associated with intracellular physiological activities yet their abnormality will result in various diseases. In particular, viscosity in cancer cells is different from that in normal cells, which is thought to be an indicator for cancer diagnosis. However, there were few fluorescent probes able to distinguish homologous cancer and normal cells by detecting mitochondrial viscosity. Herein, we designed a viscosity-sensitive fluorescent probe (named NP) based on the twisting intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) mechanism. NP exhibited exquisite sensitivity to viscosity and selectivity to mitochondria and excellent photophysical properties, such as large Stokes shift and high molar extinction coefficient, which enables wash-free, high-fidelity and fast imaging mitochondria. Moreover, it was capable of detecting mitochondrial viscosity in living cells and tissue, as well as monitoring apoptosis process. Significantly, considering numerous breast cancer cases in every country of the world, NP was successfully applied to distinguish human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) from normal cells (MCF-10A) by difference in fluorescence intensity originated from abnormality in mitochondrial viscosity. All the results indicated that NP could serve as a robust tool for effectively detecting mitochondrial viscosity changes in-situ.

Abstract
Although metallacycle-based photosensitizers have attracted increasing attention in biomedicine, their clinical application has been hindered by their inherent dark toxicity and unsatisfactory phototherapeutic efficiency. Herein, we employ a π-expansion strategy for ruthenium acceptors to develop a series of Ru(ii) metallacycles (Ru1-Ru4), while simultaneously reducing dark toxicity and enhancing phototoxicity, thus obtaining a high phototoxicity index (PI). These metallacycles enable deep-tissue (∼7 mm) fluorescence imaging and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and exhibit remarkable anti-tumor activity even under hypoxic conditions. Notably, Ru4 has the lowest dark toxicity, highest ROS generation ability and an optimal PI (∼146). Theoretical calculations verify that Ru4 exhibits the largest steric bulk and the lowest singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔE ST, 0.62 eV). In vivo studies confirm that Ru4 allows for effective and safe phototherapy against A549 tumors. This work thus is expected to open a new avenue for the design of high-performance metal-based photosensitizers for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
A dimeric fluorescent macrocycle m-TPE Di-EtP5 (meso-tetraphenylethylene dimeric ethoxypillar[5]arene) is synthesized based on the meso-functionalized ethoxy pillar[5]arene. Through the connectivity of two pillar[5]arenes by CC double bond, the central tetraphenylethylene (TPE) moiety is simultaneously formed. The resultant bicyclic molecule not only retains the host-guest properties of pillararenes but also introduces the interesting aggregation-induced emission properties inherent in the embedded TPE structure. Three dinitrile derivatives with various linkers are designed as guests (G1, G2, and G3) to form host-guest assemblies with m-TPE Di-EtP5. The morphological control and fluorescence properties of the assemblies are successfully realized. G1 with a shorter alkyl chain as the linker completely threads into the cavities of the host. G2, due to its longer chain length, forms a linear supramolecular polymer upon binding to m-TPE Di-EtP5. G3 differs from G2 by possessing a bulky phenyl group in the middle of the chain, which can be further assembled with m-TPE Di-EtP5 to form supramolecular layered polymer and precipitated out in solution, and can be efficiently applied to photocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Although metallacycle-based supramolecular photosensitizers (PSs) have attracted increasing attention in biomedicine, their clinical translation is still hindered by their inherent dark toxicity. Herein, we report what to our knowledge is the first example of a molecular engineering approach to building blocks of metallacycles for constructing a series of supramolecular PSs (RuA-RuD), with the aim of simultaneously reducing dark toxicity and enhancing phototoxicity, and consequently obtaining high phototoxicity indexes (PI). Detailed in vitro investigations demonstrate that RuA-RuD display high cancer cellular uptake and remarkable antitumor activity even under hypoxic conditions. Notably, RuD exhibited no dark toxicity and displayed the highest PI value (≈406). Theoretical calculations verified that RuD has the largest steric hindrance and the lowest singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST , 0.61 eV). Further in vivo studies confirmed that RuD allows safe and effective phototherapy against A549 tumors.

Abstract
In vivo multiplexed bioimaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm), owing to its superiorities of simultaneous multi-channel (multicolor) observations for multiple intrinsic biomarkers, high sensitivity, deeper penetration and high spatiotemporal resolution, and high throughput, has been a growing technology in fundamental medical diagnosis and clinical applications. Among several NIR-II nanoprobes for multiplexed bioimaging, the inorganic nanoprobes based on quantum dots (QDs) and lanthanide downconversion nanoparticles (DCNPs), as well as organic fluorophores based on donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) chromophores, polymethine dyes, and lanthanide complexes are extensively suitable for intravital imaging and diagnosis of disease, exhibiting excellent accomplishments. Here, we summarize recent advances in NIR-II-emitted nanoprobes for intravital multiplexed bioimaging. Furthermore, the current challenges and potential opportunities in designing novel long-wavelength nanoprobes for deep-tissue intravital multiplexed bioimaging are discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging has been widely employed for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. With ease of synthesis and excellent photophysical properties, D-A type fluorophores are widely designed for fluorescence imaging. However, traditional D-A type fluorophores are solvatochromic which reduces the fluorescence brightness in the biological system. To solve this problem and build on our previous work, we devised a novel HIEE fluorophore MTC with typical anti-solvatochromic fluorescence. Furthermore, the activated fluorescent probe designed based on MTC showed excellent imaging performance. We believe that the strategy based on the fluorophores with typical anti-solvatohromic fluorescence can be a useful platform for designing fluorescent probes for high-brightness imaging in the biological system.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is widely regarded as an important biomarker for melanocytic and liver cancer. However, most currently reported tyrosinase probes have been focused on malignant melanoma study, and few tyrosinase probe have been applied for liver cancer investigation. Herein, we developed a novel probe HFC-TYR for sensitive and selective tracking of tyrosinase activity at enzyme and cellular level, and investigated its application for liver cancer diagnosis. As expected, HFC-TYR has excellent response ability for tyrosinase sensing at enzyme level, such as large Stokes shift (170 nm), high fluorescence enhancement (178-fold), low detection limit (0.12 U/mL), which indicates its potential for efficient identification of endogenous tyrosinase activity at cellular levels. Unsurprisingly, HFC-TYR is proved to be able detect endogenous tyrosinase levels in various living cells. More importantly, HFC-TYR is successfully used to distinguish HepG2 cells from other cells (SKOV3, HeLa and 293T), indicating that tyrosinase is overexpressed in HepG2 cells and HFC-TYR can specifically identify HepG2 cells at cellular level. Meanwhile, HFC-TYR is able to further monitor the endogenous tyrosinase activity in zebrafish models. Therefore, all the findings confirm that HFC-TYR has the application potential of liver cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Nanobubbles have received great attention in ultrasound molecular imaging due to their capability to pass through the vasculature and reach extravascular tissues. Recently, gas vesicles (GVs) from archaea have been reported as acoustic contrast agents, showing great potential for ultrasound molecular imaging. However, the immunogenicity and biosafety of GVs has not yet been investigated. In this study, we examined the immune responses and biosafety of biosynthetic GVs and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified GVs (PEG-GVs) in vivo and in vitro. Our findings suggest that the plain GVs showed significantly stronger immunogenic response than PEG-GVs. Less macrophage clearance rate of the RES and longer circulation time were also found for PEG-GVs, thereby producing the better contrast imaging effect in vivo. Thus, our study demonstrated the PEG modification of biosynthetic GVs from Halobacterium NRC-1 is helpful for the future application of GVs in molecular imaging and treatment.

Abstract
Visualizing biological tissues in vivo at a cellular or subcellular resolution to explore molecular signaling and cell behaviors is a crucial direction for research into biological processes. In vivo imaging can provide quantitative and dynamic visualization/mapping in biology and immunology. New microscopy techniques combined with near-infrared region fluorophores provide additional avenues for further progress in vivo bioimaging. Based on the development of chemical materials and physical optoelectronics, new NIR-II microscopy techniques are emerging, such as confocal and multiphoton microscopy, light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), and wide-field microscopy. In this review, we introduce the characteristics of in vivo imaging using NIR-II fluorescence microscopy. We also cover the recent advances in NIR-II fluorescence microscopy techniques in bioimaging and the potential for overcoming current challenges.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been the leading cause of gastric cancer development. In recent years, the resistance of H. pylori against antibiotic treatment has been a great challenge for most countries worldwide. Since biofilm formation is one of the reasons for the antibiotic resistance of H. pylori, and phototherapy has emerged as a promisingly alternative antibacterial treatment, herein the bacteria-targeted near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizer (T780T-Gu) by combining positively-charged guanidinium (Gu) with an efficient phototherapeutic agent T780T is developed. The proposed molecule T780T-Gu exhibits synergistic photothermal therapy/photodynamic therapy effect against both H. pylori biofilms and multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical strains. More importantly, the phototherapy mechanism of T780T-Gu acquired by the RNA-seq analysis indicates that structural deficiency as well as a decrease in metabolism and defense activity are the possible reasons for the efficient H. pylori phototherapy.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising alternative or supplement to cancer treatments. While PTT induces the ablation of solid tumors, its efficiency is hampered by self-recovery within impaired cancer cells through glycolysis and respiration metabolism. Based on this, the introduction of hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-mediated respiration inhibition is a good choice to make up for the PTT limitation. Herein, nanovesicles (NP1) are integrated by a hypoxia-responsive conjugated polymer (P1), polymetric H2S donor (P2), and near-infrared (NIR) light-harvesting aza-BODIPY dye (B1) for the delivery of H2S and synergistic H2S gas therapy/PTT. The scaffold of NP1 undergoes disassembly in the hypoxic environments, thus triggering the hydrolysis of P2 to continuously long-term release H2S. Dependent on the superior photothermal ability of B1, NP1 elicits high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 19.9%) under NIR light irradiation for PTT. Moreover, NP1 serves as in situ H2S bombers in the hypoxic tumor environment and suppresses the mitochondrial respiration through inhibiting expression of cytochrome c oxidase (COX IV) and cutting off the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate good antitumor efficacy of H2S gas therapy/PTT, which will be recommended as an advanced strategy for cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Following intravenous administration, the interaction of fluorescent exogenous molecules with circulating endogenous transporters can influence their photophysical properties as well as their fate and distribution, and possibly their recognition by different cell types. This type of interaction can be used to optimize the drug delivery but also the imaging properties of a compound of interest. In this study, we investigated the behavior of SWIR-WAZABY-01 fluorophore, a water-soluble aza-BODIPY dye emitting in the NIR-II region, both in vitro and in vivo. While the fluorescence emission of SWIR-WAZABY-01 was weak in aqueous solutions, it was intensely magnified in plasma (∼ ×30). Further analyses using lipoprotein gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation revealed interactions between SWIR-WAZABY-01 and plasma lipoproteins in vitro and ex vivo, in particular with LDL. The tumor uptake mechanism of SWIR-WAZABY-01 was investigated based on the presence of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors and passive tumor uptake. Overall, we found that SWIR-WAZABY-01 interacts with lipoproteins enhancing their NIR-II fluorescence emission, and driving the tumor accumulation with regards to the expression of lipoprotein receptors (LDLR, SR-BI). Moreover, SWIR-WAZABY-01, by exploiting endogenous lipoproteins, arises as a new, potent and relevant tool to efficiently label LDL involved in pathologies.
