Abstract
Colorectal cancer was one of the major malignant tumors threatening human health and β-Gal was recognized as a principal biomarker for primary colorectal cancer. Thus, designing specific and efficient quantitative detection methods for measuring β-Gal enzyme activity was of great clinical test significance. Herein, an ultrasensitive detection method based on Turn-on fluorescence probe (CS-βGal) was reported for visualizing the detection of exogenous and endogenous β-galactosidase enzyme activity. The test method possessed a series of excellent performances, such as a significant fluorescence enhancement (about 11.3-fold), high selectivity as well as superior sensitivity. Furthermore, under the optimal experimental conditions, a relatively low limit of detection down to 0.024 U/mL was achieved for fluorescence titration experiment. It was thanks to the better biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, CS-βGal had been triumphantly employed to visual detect endogenous and exogenous β-Gal concentration variations in living cells with noteworthy anti-interference performance. More biologically significant was the fact that the application of CS-βGal in BALB/c nude mice was also achieved successfully for monitoring endogenous β-Gal enzyme activity.

A high-affinity fluorescent probe for human uridine-disphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 function monitoring under environmental pollutant exposure. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133439. [PMID: 38218035 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
Uridine-disphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9), an important detoxification and inactivation enzyme for toxicants, regulates the exposure level of environmental pollutants in the human body and induces various toxicological consequences. However, an effective tool for high-throughput monitoring of UGT1A9 function under exposure to environmental pollutants is still lacking. In this study, 1,3-dichloro-7-hydroxy-9,9-dimethylacridin-2(9H)-one (DDAO) was found to exhibit excellent specificity and high affinity towards human UGT1A9. Remarkable changes in absorption and fluorescence signals after reacting with UGT1A9 were observed, due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. Importantly, DDAO was successfully applied to monitor the biological functions of UGT1A9 in response to environmental pollutant exposure not only in microsome samples, but also in living cells by using a high-throughput screening method. Meanwhile, the identified pollutants that disturb UGT1A9 functions were found to significantly influence the exposure level and retention time of bisphenol S/bisphenol A in living cells. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism underlying the inhibition of UGT1A9 by these pollutant-derived disruptors was elucidated by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Collectively, a fluorescent probe to characterize the responses of UGT1A9 towards environmental pollutants was developed, which was beneficial for elucidating the health hazards of environmental pollutants from a new perspective.

Abstract
Beta-galactosidase (β-galactosidase), a lysosomal hydrolytic enzyme, plays a critical role in the catalytic hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, leading to the conversion of lactose into galactose. This hydrolytic enzyme is used as a biomarker in various applications, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), gene expression studies, tuberculosis classification, and in situ hybridization. β-Galactosidase abnormalities are linked to various diseases, such as ganglioside deposition, primary ovarian cancer, and cell senescence. Thus, effective detection of β-galactosidase activity may aid disease diagnoses and treatment. Activatable optical probes with high sensitivity, specificity, and spatiotemporal resolution imaging capabilities have become powerful tools for visualization and real time tracking in vivo in the past decade. This manuscript reviews the sensing mechanism, molecular design strategies, and advances of fluorescence probes in the biological application of β-galactosidase, particularly in the field of ovarian cancer research. Current challenges in tracking β-galactosidase and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
Sensitive activity stains for enzymes selectively expressed in human cancers offer valuable tools for imaging with wide applications in experimental, diagnostic, and therapeutic settings. The scant expression of the antioxidant enzyme NQO1 in normal tissues and its great abundance in malignant counterparts due to the increased redox stress and hypoxia is one such example. Previously, we described a potent nontoxic probe that remains nonfluorescent but releases an intense fluorogenic compound after intracellular cleavage by NQO1 catalysis. This infrared probe with a 644 nm emission has excellent tissue penetrating ability and low background absorption. Described here are methods (fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and in vivo animal imaging) to rapidly image NQO1 activity in hypoxic and non-hypoxic cancer cells and tumors developed in live mouse xenograft models. The specificity of the dye for NQO1 in all three procedures was verified, and the methods should be useful for both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Beta-galactosidase (β-gal), a typical glycosidase catalyzing the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, is regarded as a vital biomarker for cell senescence and cancer occurrence. Given the advantages of high spatiotemporal resolution, high sensitivity, non-invasiveness, and being free of ionizing radiations, fluorescent imaging technology provides an excellent choice for in vivo imaging of β-gal. In this review, we detail the representative biotech advances of fluorescence imaging probes for β-gal bearing diverse fidelity-oriented improvements to elucidate their future potential in preclinical research and clinical application. Next, we propose the comprehensive design strategies of imaging probes for β-gal with respect of high fidelity. Considering the systematic implementation approaches, a range of high-fidelity imaging-guided theragnostic are adopted for the individual β-gal-associated biological scenarios. Finally, current challenges and future trends are proposed to promote the next development of imaging agents for individual and specific application scenarios.

Abstract
Developing chemiluminescence probe with a slow kinetic profile, even a constant emission within analytical time, would improve the analytical sensitivity, but still remains challenging. This work reports a novel strategy to afford long-lasting in vivo imaging by developing a self-assembled chemiluminophore HPQCL-Cl via the introduction of the hydrogen-bond-driven self-assembled dye HPQ to Schaap's dioxetane. Compared with classical chemiluminophore HCL, self-assembled HPQCL-Cl was isolated from the physiological environment, thereby lowering its deprotonation and prolonging its half-life. Based on HPQCL-Cl, the long-lasting in vivo imaging of 9L-lacz tumor was achieved by developing a β-gal-responsive probe. Its signals remained constant (<5% change) for about 20 min, which may provide a wide time window for the determination of β-gal. This probe also showed high tumor-to-normal tissue ratio throughout tumor resection, highlighting its potential in image-guided clinical surgery.

Abstract
Gut microbial β-glucuronidase (gmGUS) is involved in the disposition of many endogenous and exogenous compounds. Preclinical studies have shown that inhibiting gmGUS activity affects drug disposition, resulting in reduced toxicity in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and enhanced systemic efficacy. Additionally, manipulating gmGUS activity is expected to be effective in preventing/treating local or systemic diseases. Although results from animal studies are promising, challenges remain in developing drugs by targeting gmGUS. Here, we review the role of gmGUS in host health under physiological and pathological conditions, the impact of gmGUS on the disposition of phenolic compounds, models used to study gmGUS activity, and the perspectives and challenges in developing drugs by targeting gmGUS.

Abstract
The majority of diseases’ biomarkers are enzymes, and the regulation of enzymes is fundamental but crucial. Biological system disorders and diseases can result from abnormal enzymatic activity. Given the biological significance of enzymes, researchers have devised a plethora of tools to map the activity of particular enzymes in order to gain insight regarding their function and distribution. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging studies on enzymes may help to better understand their roles in living systems due to their natural imaging advantages. We review the NIR fluorescent probe design strategies that have been attempted by researchers to develop NIR fluorescent sensors of enzymes, and these works have provided deep and intuitive insights into the study of enzymes in biological systems. The recent enzyme-activated NIR fluorescent probes and their applications in imaging are summarized, and the prospects and challenges of developing enzyme-activated NIR fluorescent probes are discussed.

Abstract
Pharmacologically active compounds that manipulate cellular senescence (senotherapies) have recently shown great promise in multiple pre-clinical disease models, and some of them are now being tested in clinical trials. Despite promising proof-of-principle evidence, there are known on- and off-target toxicities associated with these compounds, and therefore more refined and novel strategies to improve their efficacy and specificity for senescent cells are being developed. Preferential release of drugs and macromolecular formulations within senescent cells has been predominantly achieved by exploiting one of the most widely used biomarkers of senescence, the increase in lysosomal senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity, a common feature of most reported senescent cell types. Galacto-conjugation is a versatile therapeutic and detection strategy to facilitate preferential targeting of senescent cells by using a variety of existing formulations, including modular systems, nanocarriers, activatable prodrugs, probes, and small molecules. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of these specific senescence targeting tools and how the strategy of galacto-conjugation might be utilised to design more specific and sophisticated next-generation senotherapeutics, as well as theranostic agents. Finally, we discuss some innovative strategies and possible future directions for the field.

When in contact with LacZ β-gal or senescence-associated β-gal (SA-β-gal), the photoinsensitive Gal-MB becomes fluorescent. Gal-MB also offered selective phototoxicity toward LacZ β-gal expressing cells and drug-induced senescent cells, which express SA-β-gal, after light illumination at 665 nm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alteration of commensal microbiota is highly correlated with the prevalence of allergic reactions to food in the gastrointestinal tract. The mechanisms by which microbiota modulate food allergen sensitization in the mucosal site are not fully understood. METHODS We generate DCs specific knockout of retinoic acid receptor α (Rara) gene mice (DC KO Rara) to evaluate food sensitization. The bile acid-activated retinoic acid response was evaluated by flow cytometry, real-time RT-PCR and Illumina transcriptome sequencing. The global effect of Abx treatment on BA profiles in the mucosal lymph tissue mLN in mice was examined by UPLC-MS analysis. RESULTS In this study, we demonstrate that depletion of commensal gut bacteria leads to enhanced retinoic acid (RA) signaling in mucosal dendritic cells (DCs). RA signaling in DCs is required for the production of food allergen-specific IgE and IgG1. Antibiotics induced an enlarged bile acid (BA) pool, and dysregulated BA profiles contributed to enhanced RA signaling in mucosal DCs. BA-activated RA signaling promoted DC upregulation of interferon I signature, RA signature, OX40L, and PDL2, which may lead to T helper 2 differentiation of CD4+ T cells. BA-activated RA signaling involved the farnesoid X receptor and RA receptor α (RARa) interaction. Depletion of bile acid reduces food allergen specific IgE and IgG1 levels in mice. CONCLUSION Our research unveils a mechanism of food sensitization modulated by BA-RA signaling in DCs, which suggests a potential new approach for the intervention of food allergic reactions.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal), well known as a useful reporter enzyme, is a potent biomarker for various diseases such as colorectal and ovarian cancers. We have developed a highly stable red-emissive ratiometric fluorescent probe (CCGal1) for quantitatively monitoring the β-gal enzyme activity in live cells and tissues. This ratiometric probe showed a fast emission color change (620-662 nm) in response to β-gal selectively, which was accompanied by high enzyme reaction efficacy, cell-staining ability, and outstanding stability with minimized cytotoxicity. Confocal fluorescence microscopy ratiometric images, combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting flow cytometry, demonstrated that CCGal1 could provide useful information for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of β-gal enzyme activity-related diseases such as colorectal and ovarian cancers. Further, it may yield meaningful strategies for designing and modifying multifunctional bioprobes with different biomedical applications.

Abstract
The application of β-galactosidase enzyme ranges from industrial use as probiotics to medically important application such as cancer detection. The irregular activities of β-galactosidase enzyme are directly related to the development of cancers. Identifying the location and expression levels of enzymes in cancer cells have considerable importance in early-stage cancer diagnosis and monitoring the efficacy of therapies. Most importantly, the knowledge of the efficient method of detection of β-galactosidase enzyme will help in the early-stage treatment of the disease. In this review paper, we provide an overview of recent advances in the detection methods of β-galactosidase enzyme in the living cells, including the detection strategies, and approaches in human beings, plants, and microorganisms such as bacteria. Further, we emphasized on the challenges and opportunities in this rapidly developing field of development of different biomarkers and fluorescent probes based on β-galactosidase enzyme. We found that previously used chromo-fluorogenic methods have been mostly replaced by the new molecular probes, although they have certain drawbacks. Upon comparing the different methods, it was found that near-infrared fluorescent probes are dominating the other detection methods.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal), a typical hydrolytic enzyme, is a vital biomarker for cell senescence and primary ovarian cancers. Developing precise and rapid methods to monitor β-gal activity is crucial for early cancer diagnoses and biological research. Over the past decade, activatable optical probes have become a powerful tool for real-time tracking and in vivo visualization with high sensitivity and specificity. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the design of β-gal-activatable probes via spectral characteristics and responsiveness regulation for biological applications, and particularly focus on the molecular design strategy from turn-on mode to ratiometric mode, from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) probes to aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active probes, from near-infrared-I (NIR-I) imaging to NIR-II imaging, and from one-mode to dual-mode of chemo-fluoro-luminescence sensing β-gal activity.

Abstract
For wide applications of the lacZ gene in cellular/molecular biology, small animal investigations, and clinical assessments, the improvement of noninvasive imaging approaches to precisely assay gene expression has garnered much attention. In this study, we investigate a novel molecular platform in which alizarin 2-O-β-d-galactopyranoside AZ-1 acts as a lacZ gene/β-gal responsive 1H-MRI probe to induce significant 1H-MRI contrast changes in relaxation times T 1 and T 2 in situ as a concerted effect for the discovery of β-gal activity with the exposure of Fe3+. We also demonstrate the capability of this strategy for detecting β-gal activity with lacZ-transfected human MCF7 breast and PC3 prostate cancer cells by reaction-enhanced 1H-MRI T 1 and T 2 relaxation mapping.

Three-Dimensional X-ray Imaging of β-Galactosidase Reporter Activity by Micro-CT: Implication for Quantitative Analysis of Gene Expression. Brain Sci 2021; 11:brainsci11060746.

Abstract
Acquisition of detailed anatomical and molecular knowledge from intact biological samples while preserving their native three-dimensional structure is still a challenging issue for imaging studies aiming to unravel a system's functions. Three-dimensional micro-CT X-ray imaging with a high spatial resolution in minimally perturbed naive non-transparent samples has recently gained increased popularity and broad application in biomedical research. Here, we describe a novel X-ray-based methodology for analysis of β-galactosidase (lacZ) reporter-driven gene expression in an intact murine brain ex vivo by micro-CT. The method relies on detection of bromine molecules in the product of the enzymatic β-galactosidase reaction. Enhancement of the X-ray signal is observed specifically in the regions of the murine brain where expression of the lacZ reporter gene is also detected histologically. We performed quantitative analysis of the expression levels of lacZ reporter activity by relative radiodensity estimation of the β-galactosidase/X-gal precipitate in situ. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method, we performed expression analysis of the Tsen54-lacZ reporter gene in the murine brain in a semi-quantitative manner. Human mutations in the Tsen54 gene cause pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH), a group of severe neurodegenerative disorders with both mental and motor deficits. Comparing relative levels of Tsen54 gene expression, we demonstrate that the highest Tsen54 expression is observed in anatomical brain substructures important for the normal motor and memory functions in mice.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-Gal) is a widely used enzyme as a reporter gene in the field of molecular biology which hydrolyzes the β-galactosides into monosaccharides. β-Gal is an essential enzyme in humans and its deficiency or its overexpression results in several rare diseases. Cellular senescence is probably one of the most relevant physiological disorders that involve β-Gal enzyme. In this review, we assess the progress made to date in the design of molecular-based probes for the detection of β-Gal both in vitro and in vivo. Most of the reported molecular probes for the detection of β-Gal consist of a galactopyranoside residue attached to a signalling unit through glycosidic bonds. The β-Gal-induced hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds released the signalling unit with remarkable changes in color and/or emission. Additional examples based on other approaches are also described. The wide applicability of these probes for the rapid and in situ detection of de-regulation β-Gal-related diseases has boosted the research in this fertile field.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a state of stable cell cycle arrest that can negatively affect the regenerative capacities of tissues and can contribute to inflammation and the progression of various aging-related diseases. Advances in the in vivo detection of cellular senescence are still crucial to monitor the action of senolytic drugs and to assess the early onset or accumulation of senescent cells. Here, we describe a naphthalimide-styrene-based probe (HeckGal) for the detection of cellular senescence both in vitro and in vivo. HeckGal is hydrolyzed by the increased lysosomal β-galactosidase activity of senescent cells, resulting in fluorescence emission. The probe was validated in vitro using normal human fibroblasts and various cancer cell lines undergoing senescence induced by different stress stimuli. Remarkably, HeckGal was also validated in vivo in an orthotopic breast cancer mouse model treated with senescence-inducing chemotherapy and in a renal fibrosis mouse model. In all cases, HeckGal allowed the unambiguous detection of senescence in vitro as well as in tissues and tumors in vivo. This work is expected to provide a potential technology for senescence detection in aged or damaged tissues.

Abstract
The development of non-invasive and sensitive optical probes for in vivo bioimaging of cancer-related enzymes is desirable for early diagnosis and effective cancer therapy. β-galactosidase (β-gal) is regarded as a key ovarian cancer biomarker, owing to its overexpression in primary ovarian cancer. Herein, we designed a sensitive near-infrared (NIR) probe (DCMCA-βgal) for the detection and real-time imaging of β-gal activity in ovarian tumors, thereby achieving the visualization of ovarian tumors by β-gal activity detection. DCMCA-β-gal could be triggered by β-gal, resulting in the release of a NIR chromophore, DCM-NH2; the linear range of fluorescent response to β-gal concentration was 0-1.2 U with a low detection limit of 1.26 × 10-3 U mL-1. We used DCMCA-β-gal to detect and visualize β-gal activity in SKOV3 human ovarian cancer cells, as well as for real-time imaging of β-gal activity in ovarian cancer mouse models. DCMCA-β-gal possessed high sensitivity, "turn-on" NIR emission, a large spectral shift, and high photostability in a dynamic living system and thus could serve as a highly sensitive sensor for real-time tracking of β-gal activity in vivo and ovarian tumor imaging.

Abstract
Herein, a coumarin fluorescent probe (Probe 1) was developed for the ratiometric detection of β-galactosidase (β-gal) activity. The detection range was 0–0.1 U mL−1 and 0.2–0.8 U mL−1, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0054 U mL−1. Moreover, the luminous intensity of Probe 1 increased gradually with increase in β-gal activity. It could be observed under 254 nm UV irradiation by the naked eye. Furthermore, this method only required a small amount of sample (20 μL) and a short analytical time (30 min) for the detection of β-gal activity with a low LOD. Probe 1 was successfully used to detect β-gal activity in real fruit samples, and can be applied to the quantitative and qualitative detection of β-gal activity. A ratiometric fluorescent probe was successfully used as a tool to determine β-galactosidase activity in fruits.![]()

After a short introduction, we will focus on applications like the interaction of probes with enzymes and targeted labeling of organelles and proteins, detection of small molecules, as well as their use in therapeutics or diagnostics and super-resolution microscopy. Furthermore, the last part will summarize recent advances in the synthesis and understanding of their structure-behavior relationship including novel computational approaches.

Abstract
It has been over half a century since cellular senescence was first noted and characterized, and yet no consensus senescent marker has been reliably established. This challenge is compounded by the complexity and heterogenic phenotypes of senescent cells. This necessitates the use of multiple biomarkers to confidently characterise senescent cells. Despite cytochemical staining of senescence associated-beta-galactosidase being a single marker approach, as well as being time and labour-intensive, it remains the most popular detection method. We have developed an alternative flow cytometry-based method that simultaneously quantifies multiple senescence markers at a single-cell resolution. In this study, we applied this assay to the quantification of both replicative and induced senescent primary cells. Using this assay, we were able to quantify the activity level of SA β-galactosidase, the expression level of p16INK4a and γH2AX in these cell populations. Our results show this flow cytometric approach to be sensitive, robust, and consistent in discriminating senescent cells in different cell senescence models. A strong positive correlation between these commonly- used senescence markers was demonstrated. The method described in this paper can easily be scaled up to accommodate high-throughput screening of senescent cells in applications such as therapeutic cell preparation, and in therapy-induced senescence following cancer treatment.

Abstract
Small-molecular fluorescence sensors have become promising detection tools in many fields attributing to their high sensitivity, excellent temporal and spatial resolution, and low cytotoxicity. However, high concentration or aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching effect has usually hindered the development of traditional fluorescence dyes. Herein, a new fluorophore cyanovinylene dye BMZ with excimer emission property has been constructed. It shows an obvious enhanced and red-shift emission upon aggregation in aqueous solution, which overmatches the conventional pyrene with longer absorption and emission wavelengths. Using this unique optical property, a new fluorescence probe BMZ-Gal has been developed for trapping of β-galactosidase (β-Gal) activity with high selectivity, low limit of detection of 0.17 U, and rapid recognition, which is based on the β-Gal-induced formation of red-shift emitting excimer. β-Gal has a strong affinity for BMZ-Gal, which is verified through the Michaelis-Menten constants (Km, 1.87 μM) and the hydrolysis efficiencies (Kcat/Km, 1.78 × 103 M-1 s-1). Furthermore, the assay system has been successfully used for detecting endogenous β-Gal in living ovarian cancer cells and can passively targeted to identify β-Gal in organelle level and determine its subcellular location with satisfactory accuracy. We anticipate that the new fluorophore cyanovinylene dye herein may inaugurate new opportunities for the development of excimer emission sensors.

A near-infrared fluorescent probe for the ratiometric detection and living cell imaging of β-galactosidase. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:7957-7966.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal) has captured the attention of biologists, chemists, and medical researchers as an important biomarker for cell senescence and primary ovarian cancer. Therefore, many fluorescent probes with visible light emission have been developed for the detection and imaging of β-gal in living cells. However, near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric probes are more suitable for bioimaging because near-infrared light can effectively avoid the interference of autofluorescence and the ratiometric approach can improve sensitivity and accuracy of the detection. In this work, we designed an NIR ratiometric probe (TMG) for the highly sensitive detection of β-gal. Using a spontaneous degradation mechanism based on the ICT effect, the change in ratio (F650/F580) exhibited a prominent β-gal-dependent performance and proved a strong linear response to the activity of β-gal at an enzyme concentration between 0 and 200 U L-1, with a limit of detection as low as 0.86 U L-1, and the response speed is much faster than the same type of probes previously reported. The probe also revealed an excellent biocompatibility and a large Stokes shift. Moreover, fluorescence microscopy imaging experiments confirmed that this probe could be successfully used for the detection of endogenous β-gal in living cells. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-Gal), as a lysosomal hydrolytic enzyme, plays an important physiological role in catalyzing the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds which convert lactose into galactose. Moreover, upregulation of β-Gal is often correlated with the occurrence of primary ovarian cancers and cell senescence. Thereby, detection of β-Gal activity is relevant to cancer diagnosis. Optical imaging possesses high spatial and temporal resolution, high sensitivity, and real-time imaging capability. These properties are beneficial for the detection of β-Gal in living systems. This Review summarizes the recent progress in development of molecular optical probes for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF), bioluminescence (BL), chemiluminescence (CL), or photoacoustic (PA) imaging of β-Gal in biological systems. The challenges and opportunities in the probe design for detection of β-Gal are also discussed.

Abstract
Detection of cellular senescence is important not only in the study of senescence in various biological systems, but also in various practical applications such as image-guided surgical removal of senescent cells, as well as the monitoring of drug-responsiveness during cancer therapies. Due to the lack of suitable imaging probes for senescence detection, particularly in living subjects, we have developed an activatable near-infrared (NIR) molecular probe with far-red excitation, NIR emission, and high "turn-on" ratio upon senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SABG) activation. We present here the first successful demonstration of NIR imaging of DNA damage-induced senescence both in vitro and in human tumor xenograft models.

Abstract
CD13/aminopeptidase N (APN), which is a zinc-dependent metalloproteinase, plays a vital role in the growth, migration, angiogenesis, and metastasis of tumours. Thus, in situ molecular imaging of endogenous APN levels is considerably significant for investigating APN and its different functions. In this study, a novel two-photon near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe DCM-APN was prepared to perform in vitro and in vivo tracking of APN. The N-terminal alanyl site of probe DCM-APN was accurately hydrolysed to the amino group, thereby liberating strong fluorescence owing to the recovery of the Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT) effect. By considering its outstanding selectivity, ultra-sensitivity (DL 0.25 ng mL-1) and favourable biocompatibility, the probe DCM-APN was used to distinguish between normal cells (LO2 cells) and cancer cells (HepG-2 and B16/BL6 cells). Furthermore, migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells was apparently inhibited by ensuring that the APN catalytic cavity was occupied by bestatin. The identification of three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence in cancer tissues was completed under two-photon excitation coupled with lighting up hepatocellular carcinoma tumours in situ; this revealed that probe DCM-APN is an effective tool for detecting APN, thereby assisting in the early diagnosis of tumour in clinical medicine.

Ratiometric fluorescent probes with a self-immolative spacer for β-galactosidase (β-gal) were developed. They function by β-gal-cleaving the β-galactoside bond of fluorescent substrates, followed by self-immolation to liberate the amino group of fluorophore. Thus, a remarkable variation in the photophysical properties was observed and the corresponding ratiometric detection of β-gal was realized. Our studies demonstrated that the GNPN exhibited high sensitivity for recognition of β-gal, with a detection limit as low as 0.17 U L-1. GNPN can rapidly quantify β-gal enzyme activity; the emission ratio F545/F475 for the GNPN reached maxima after approximately 4 min, which was one of the shortest response time ever reported. Furthermore, we demonstrated that these probes possess excellent biocompatibility and can be used to visualize the endogenous β-gal in ovarian cancer cells.

Abstract
Molecular imaging has played an important role in the noninvasive exploration of multiple biological processes. Reporter gene imaging is a key part of molecular imaging. By combining with a reporter probe, a reporter protein can induce the accumulation of specific signals that are detectable by an imaging device to provide indirect information of reporter gene expression in living subjects. There are many types of reporter genes and each corresponding imaging technique has its own advantages and drawbacks. Fused reporter genes or single reporter genes with products detectable by multiple imaging modalities can compensate for the disadvantages and potentiate the advantages of each modality. Reporter gene multimodality imaging could be applied to trace implanted cells, monitor gene therapy, assess endogenous molecular events, screen drugs, etc. Although several types of multimodality imaging apparatus and multimodality reporter genes are available, more sophisticated detectors and multimodality reporter gene systems are needed.

Abstract
Chemiluminescent luminophores are considered as one of the most sensitive families of probes for detection and imaging applications. Due to their high signal-to-noise ratios, luminophores with near-infrared (NIR) emission are particularly important for in vivo use. In addition, light with such long wavelength has significantly greater capability for penetration through organic tissue. So far, only a few reports have described the use of chemiluminescence systems for in vivo imaging. Such systems are always based on an energy-transfer process from a chemiluminescent precursor to a nearby emissive fluorescent dye. Here, we describe the development of the first chemiluminescent luminophores with a direct mode of NIR light emission that are suitable for use under physiological conditions. Our strategy is based on incorporation of a substituent with an extended π-electron system on the excited species obtained during the chemiexcitation pathway of Schaap's adamantylidene-dioxetane probe. In this manner, we designed and synthesized two new luminophores with direct light emission wavelength in the NIR region. Masking of the luminophores with analyte-responsive groups has resulted in turn-ON probes for detection and imaging of β-galactosidase and hydrogen peroxide. The probes' ability to image their corresponding analyte/enzyme was effectively demonstrated in vitro for β-galactosidase activity and in vivo in a mouse model of inflammation. We anticipate that our strategy for obtaining NIR luminophores will open new doors for further exploration of complex biomolecular systems using non-invasive intravital chemiluminescence imaging techniques.

Abstract
The development of highly sensitive assays for glycosidases is of critical significance to understand their functions, facilely detect associated diseases and screen potential new drugs. In this work, we develop a universal assay strategy for glycosidase enzymes and inhibitor screening based on functional carbon quantum dots through a combined host-guest recognition and specific static quenching-induced signal transduction mechanism. This detection strategy is established in terms of the following facts: (1) β-cyclodextrin as a perfect host can selectively associate with p-nitrophenol due to its hydrophobic character and right size match of the cavity, which renders specific binding between β-cyclodextrin and p-nitrophenol via a host-guest recognition. (2) The formation of an inclusion complex between β-cyclodextrin modified carbon quantum dots (β-CD-CQDs) and p-nitrophenol results in fluorescence quenching with a high quenching efficiency due to the static quenching mechanism. Glycoconjugates of p-nitrophenol as the substrates could be rapidly hydrolyzed to corresponding glycose and p-nitrophenol in the presence of specific glycosidase, and the resulting p-nitrophenol induces the following host-guest interaction and static quenching leading to a change in the fluorescence signal. The activity of different glycosidase enzymes could be evaluated in the same way as long as the glycosyl unit of glycosylated substrates was changed. Here we take β-galactosidase as an example to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed detection strategy because it can act as a molecular target for primary ovarian cancers. A highly sensitive assay for β-galactosidase activity in terms of linear correlation of the fluorescence change with the β-galactosidase level was established with a low detection limit of 0.6 U L-1. Its function of inhibitor screening was also assessed by using d-galactal as the inhibitor for β-galactosidase, and the positive results indicated its feasibility to screen potential inhibitors. It is also illustrated that the nanoprobe possesses excellent biocompatibility, and can sensitively monitor the intracellular β-galactosidase level in ovarian cancer cells. This work provides a general detection method for glycosidase activity, demonstrates its applicability of monitoring the enzyme level in living cells, and broadens fluorogenic probes in fluorescence-guided diagnostics.

Understanding metabolism and dynamic biological events in cells, as well as physiological functions and pathological changes in organisms, is the major goal of biological investigations. It will improve our capability to diagnose and treat diseases, and will enhance personalized medicine. Fluorescence imaging is a powerful tool that plays an essential role in acquiring the comprehensive knowledge necessary to help reach this goal. Fluorescent molecules are crucial factors for obtaining high quality images. In contrast to conventional fluorogens with aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, molecules that show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect open up new avenues for fluorescence imaging. So far, a large variety of AIE probes have been developed and applied to bioimaging because of their outstanding characteristics, such as high fluorescence efficiency, excellent photostability and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this review, recent advances in AIE-based probes for biomedical imaging of intracellular microenvironments, natural macromolecules, subcellular organelles, intracellular processes, living tissues, and diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of diseases in vivo are summarized. It is hoped that this review generates great research enthusiasm for AIE-based bioimaging, in order to promote the development of promising AIE probes and guide us to a better understanding of the biological essence of life.

Abstract
Imaging agents for the noninvasive in vivo detection of enzyme activity in preclinical and clinical settings could have fundamental implications in the field of drug discovery. Furthermore, a new class of targeted prodrug treatments takes advantage of high enzyme activity to tailor therapy and improve treatment outcomes. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents that quantitatively detect β-galactosidase and β-glucuronidase activities by measuring changes in chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). Based on a modular approach, we incorporated the enzymes' respective substrates to a salicylate moiety with a chromogenic spacer via a carbamate linkage. This furnished highly selective diamagnetic CEST agents that detected and quantified enzyme activities of glycoside hydrolase enzymes. Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics studies were performed by monitoring catalyCEST MRI signals, which were validated with UV-vis assays.
