RESUMEN
Persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) are excellent luminescent materials, and near-infrared PLNPs are efficiently applied for biosensing and bioimaging due to their advantages of no excitation, excellent light stability and long afterglow. However, due to interference from the complex environment within organisms, single-mode imaging methods often face limitations in selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy. Therefore, it is desirable to construct a dual-mode imaging probe strategy with higher specificity and sensitivity for bioimaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used in the field of bioimaging due to its advantages of high resolution, non-radiation and non-invasiveness. Here, by combining near-infrared PLNPs and manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets, a sensitive and convenient dual-mode "turn on" bioimaging nanoprobe ZGC@MnO2 has been developed for long afterglow imaging and MRI of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The monitoring of H2O2 has garnered significant attention due to its crucial role in human pathologies. For the dual-mode "turn on" bioimaging nanoprobe, the near-infrared PLNPs of quasi-spherical ZnGa2O4:Cr (ZGC) nanoparticles were synthesized as luminophores, and MnO2 nanosheets were utilized as a fluorescence quencher, carrier and H2O2 recognizer. H2O2 in the TME could reduce MnO2 nanosheets to Mn2+ for MRI, and ZGC nanoparticles were released for long afterglow imaging. Finally, the ZGC@MnO2 nanoprobe exhibited a rapid response, an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and a limit of detection of 3.67 nM for endogenous H2O2 in the TME. This dual-mode approach enhances the detection sensitivity for endogenous H2O2, thereby facilitating the research of endogenous H2O2-associated diseases and clinical diagnostics.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a significant noninvasive therapeutic modality, but it is often limited in its application due to the restricted tissue penetration depth caused by the wavelength limitations of the light source. Two-photon (TP) fluorescence techniques are capable of having an excitation wavelength in the NIR region by absorbing two NIR photons simultaneously, which offers the potential to achieve higher spatial resolution for deep tissue imaging. Thus, the adoption of TP fluorescence techniques affords several discernible benefits for photodynamic therapy. Organic TP dyes possess a high fluorescence quantum yield. However, the biocompatibility of organic TP dyes is poor, and the method of coating organic TP dyes with silica can effectively overcome the limitations. Herein, based on the TP silica nanoparticles, a functionalized intelligent biogenic missile TP-SiNPs-G4(TMPyP4)-dsDNA(DOX)-Aptamer (TGTDDA) was developed for effective TP bioimaging and synergistic targeted photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy in tumors. First, the Sgc8 aptamer was used to target the PTK7 receptor on the surface of tumor cells. Under two-photon light irradiation, the intelligent biogenic missile can be activated for TP fluorescence imaging to identify tumor cells and the photosensitizer assembled on the nanoparticle surface can be activated for photodynamic therapy. Additionally, this intelligent biogenic missile enables the controlled release of doxorubicin (DOX). The innovative strategy substantially enhances the targeted therapeutic effectiveness of cancer cells. The intelligent biogenic missile provides an effective method for the early detection and treatment of tumors, which has a good application prospect in the real-time high-sensitivity diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

The discovery of reliable biomarkers is essential for early diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis assessment of diseases. Many research studies have shown that circRNA is a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. However, in situ monitoring circRNA in live cells is still a challenge at present, which brings a major limitation to the development and verification of circRNA as a disease biomarker. In this study, a catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction-based DNA octahedral amplifier (DOA) was developed for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) detection and bioimaging of circRNA in living cells. The DOA was first produced by self-assembling a DNA octahedron with six customized single-stranded DNAs, and two hairpins H1 (Cy3) and H2 (Cy5) were then hybridized to four vertices of the DNA octahedron. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)-related circHIPK3 was used as the target. Once the CHA reaction from H1 and H2 on DOA was activated by a sequence-specific back-splice junction (BSJ) of circHIPK3, a significant FRET signal can be obtained from Cy3 to Cy5. The circHIPK3 was subsequently released to cause the next CHA reaction. Because the DOA has the advantages of the spatial-confinement effect, resistance to nuclease degradation and easy penetration into cells, rapid and excellent signal amplification FRET detection and bioimaging of endogenous circHIPK3 can be achieved in various cells. This study provides a high-precision assay platform to explore the possibility of using circRNA as a biomarker, and it is valuable for circRNA-related early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The Coding Region Determinant-Binding Protein (CRDBP) is a carcinoembryonic protein, and it is overexpressed in various cancer cells in the form of granules. We speculated the formation of CRDBP granules possibly through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) processes due to the existence of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in CRDBP. So far, we did not know whether or how phase separation processes of CRDBP occur in single living cells due to the lack of in vivo methods for studying intracellular protein phase separation. Therefore, to develop an in situ method for studying protein phase separation in living cells is a very urgent task. In this work, we proposed an efficient method for studying phase separation behavior of CRDBP in a single living cell by combining in situ fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS) with a fluorescence protein fusion technique. We first predicted and confirmed that CRDBP has phase separation in solution by conventional fluorescence imaging and FCS methods. And then, we in situ studied the phase separation behaviors of CRDBP in living cells and observed three states of CRDBP phase separation such as monomer state, cluster state, and granule state. We studied the effects of CRDBP truncated forms and its inhibitor on the CRDBP phase separation. Furthermore, we discovered the recruitment of CRDBP to ß-catenin protein in living cells and investigated the effects of CRDBP structures and inhibitor on CRDBP recruitment behavior. This finding may help us to further understand the mechanism of CRDBP protein for regulating Wnt signaling pathway. Additionally, our results documented that FCS/FCCS is an efficient and alternative method for studying protein phase separation in situ in living cells.

Rapid, simultaneous, and sensitive detection of biomolecules has important application prospects in disease diagnosis and biomedical research. However, because the content of intracellular endogenous target biomolecules is usually very low, traditional detection methods can't be used for effective detection and imaging, and to enhance the detection sensitivity, signal amplification strategies are frequently required. The hybridization chain reaction (HCR) has been used to detect many disease biomarkers because of its simple operation, good reproducibility, and no enzyme involvement. Although HCR signal amplification methods have been employed to detect and image intracellular biomolecules, there are still false positive signals. Therefore, a target-triggered enzyme-free amplification system (GHCR system) was developed, as a fluorescent AND-gated sensing platform for intracellular target probing. The false positive signals can be well avoided and the accuracy of detection and imaging can be improved by using the design of the AND gate. Two cancer markers, GSH and miR-1246, were used as two orthogonal inputs for the AND gated probe. The AND-gated probe only works when GSH and miR-1246 are the inputs at the same time, and FRET signals can be the output. In addition to the use of AND-gated imaging, FRET-based high-precision ratiometric fluorescence imaging was employed. FRET-based ratiometric fluorescent probes have a higher ability to resist interference from the intracellular environment, they can avoid false positive signals well, and they are expected to have good specificity. Due to the advantages of HCR, AND-gated, and FRET fluorescent probes, the GHCR system exhibited highly efficient AND-gated FRET bioimaging for intracellular endogenous miRNAs with a lower detection limit of 18 pM, which benefits the applications of ratiometric intracellular biosensing and bioimaging and offers a novel concept for advancing the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies in the field of cancer.

Bioimaging is widely used in various fields of modern medicine. Fluorescence imaging has the advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, noninvasiveness, in situ imaging, and so on. However, one-photon (OP) fluorescence imaging has problems, such as low tissue penetration depth and low spatiotemporal resolution. These disadvantages can be solved by two-photon (TP) fluorescence imaging. However, TP imaging still uses fluorescence intensity as a signal. The complexity of organisms will inevitably affect the change of fluorescence intensity, cause false-positive signals, and affect the accuracy of the results obtained. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is different from other kinds of fluorescence imaging, which is an intrinsic property of the material and independent of the material concentration and fluorescence intensity. FLIM can effectively avoid the fluctuation of TP imaging based on fluorescence intensity and the interference of autofluorescence. Therefore, based on silica-coated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@SiO2) combined with nucleic acid probes, the dual-mode nanoprobe platform was constructed for TP and FLIM imaging of intracellular endogenous miRNA-21 for the first time. First, the dual-mode nanoprobe used a dual fluorescence quencher of BHQ2 and graphene oxide (GO), which has a high signal-to-noise ratio and anti-interference. Second, the dual-mode nanoprobe can detect miR-21 with high sensitivity and selectivity in vitro, with a detection limit of 0.91 nM. Finally, the dual-mode nanoprobes performed satisfactory TP fluorescence imaging (330.0 µm penetration depth) and FLIM (τave = 50.0 ns) of endogenous miR-21 in living cells and tissues. The dual-mode platforms have promising applications in miRNA-based early detection and therapy and hold much promise for improving clinical efficacy.

Two-photon fluorescence imaging is one of the most attractive imaging techniques for monitoring important biomolecules in the biomedical field due to its advantages of low light scattering, high penetration depth, and suppressed photodamage/phototoxicity under near-infrared excitation. However, in actual biological imaging, organic two-photon fluorescent dyes have disadvantages such as high biological toxicity and their fluorescence efficiency is easily affected by the complex environment in organisms. In this study, a novel nanoprobe platform with two-photon dye-doped silica nanoparticles was developed for FRET-based ratiometric biosensing and bioimaging, with endogenous ATP chosen as the target for detection. The nanoprobe has three components: (1) a two-photon dye-doped silica nanoparticle core, which serves as an energy donor for FRET; (2) amino-modified hairpin primers with carboxy fluorescein as an energy acceptor for FRET; (3) an aptamer acting as a recognition unit to realize the probing function. The nanoprobe showed ratiometric fluorescence responses for ATP detection with high sensitivity and high selectivity in vivo. Moreover, the nanoprobe showed satisfactory ratiometric two-photon fluorescence imaging of endogenous ATP in living cells and tissues (penetration depth of 190 nm). These results indicated that novel two-photon silica nanoparticles can be constructed by doping a two-photon fluorescent dye into silica nanoparticles, and they can effectively solve the disadvantages of two-photon fluorescent dyes. These excellent performances indicate that this novel nanoprobe platform will become a very valuable molecular imaging tool, which can be widely used in the biomedical field for drug screening and disease diagnosis and other related research.

Protein oligomerization plays a very important role in many physiological processes. p53 acts as a key tumor suppressor by regulating cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and apoptosis, and its antitumor activity is regulated by the hetero- and homo-oligomerization of MDMX and MDM2 proteins. So far, some traditional methods have been utilized to study the oligomerization of MDMX and MDM2 in vitro, but they have not clarified some controversial issues or whether the extracellular results can represent the intracellular results. Here, we put forward an in situ method for studying protein homo- and hetero-oligomerization in single living cells by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. In this study, MDMX and MDM2 were labeled with fluorescent proteins using lentiviral transfection. Autocorrelation spectroscopy and cross-correlation spectroscopy methods were used to study the oligomerization of MDMX and MDM2 in situ and the effect of regulation of MDMX oligomerization on p53-MDMX interactions in single living cells. We observed the homo- and hetero-oligomerization of MDMX and MDM2 in living cells. Meanwhile, the levels of the homo-oligomers of MDMX and MDM2 were increased due to the lack of hetero-oligomerization. Finally, the binding affinity of MDMX for p53 was improved with an increase in the level of MDMX hetero-oligomerization.

Biological fluorescence imaging technologies have attracted a lot of attention and have been widely used in biomedical fields. Compared with other technologies, fluorescence imaging has a lower cost, higher sensitivity, and easier operation. However, due to the disadvantages of one-photon (OP) fluorescence imaging, such as low spatial and poor temporal resolution and poor tissue permeability depth, the application of OP fluorescence imaging has some limitations. Though two-photon (TP) fluorescence imaging can well overcome these shortcomings of OP, the single-mode imaging remains deficient. Therefore, dual-mode imaging combined with TP imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can make up for the deficiency well, which make dual-mode imaging for the early diagnosis of diseases more accurate. Hence, a dual-mode nanoprobe TP-CQDs@MnO2 was designed for probing the fluorescence/MR dual-mode imaging strategy of intracellular H+ by using TP-CQDs (two photon-carbon quantum dots) and MnO2 nanosheets. The MnO2 nanosheets treated as fluorescence quenching agents of TP-CQDs exhibited a supersensitive response to H+, which made the fluorescence signals turn "off" to "on" for TP fluorescence imaging, in the meantime, large amounts of Mn2+ were generated for MRI. A dual-mode nanoprobe TP-CQDs@MnO2 can monitor intracellular wide pH (4.0-8.0), and the fluorescence intensity of TP-CQDs@MnO2 has recovered up to more than six times and the corresponding results of MRI were satisfactory. TP fluorescence imaging of cells and tissues showed higher detection sensitivity and deeper tissue penetration (240.0 µm) than OP. The dual-mode imaging platform hold great promise for pH-related early diagnosis and treatment, which has great potential to improve clinical efficacy.

Fluorescence detection technology has been widely concerned for its advantages of low cost, simple operation, good sensitivity, real-time and non-destructive biological imaging. However, most fluorophores emit bright fluorescence in solution, and the fluorescence decreases significantly in the high concentration or solid/aggregated state, which is called aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Cysteine (Cys) is an important kind of amino-acid in the field of bio-medicine, whose main function is to participate in metabolism and protein synthesis, detoxification, but intracellular cysteine concentrations (30-200 µM) are much low, and direct detection of endogenous cysteine is hampered by interference with other thiols. To solve the above problems, based on solid-state fluorophore HPQ, we for the first time prepared a novel solid-state fluorescence probe MA-HPQ, for monitoring of endogenous Cys, operated by the mechanism of excited intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). MeO-HPQ is completely insoluble in water, has very strong solid-state fluorescence with the maximum emission wavelength of 510 nm and the maximum excitation wavelength of 365 nm. This special property makes it very suitable for confocal microscopy compared with ordinary water-soluble fluorescent dyes. Due to the large Stokes shift (145 nm), MA-HPQ has very desirable advantages: reduced interference of background fluorescence, increased sensitivity, and enhanced contrast of biological imaging. More importantly, by preventing it from establishing internal hydrogen bonds, which is between imine nitrogen and phenolic hydroxyl groups, it can be made insoluble in water and have strong fluorescence properties, and the process is reversible. The ESIPT process can be blocked by masking phenolic hydroxyl, which can inhibit fluorescence to a large extent. In the presence of Cys, the probe reacts, releasing free MeO-HPQ, and begins to form a precipitated solid. The precipitated solid emitted bright green solid-state fluorescence, which was enhanced 43 times more than MA-HPQ. These results indicate that the probe MA-HPQ can be suitable to real spatiotemporal imaging of endogenous cysteine in HeLa cells. The excellent performance of the probe makes it applying for the visualization detection of endogenous cysteine in living cells and tissues with obtaining satisfactory results.

mRNA-protein interactions play key roles in facilitating various biological functions in gene expression regulations and even the progression of diseases. However, it is still a challenge to directly monitor mRNA-protein interactions in a single living cell at present. Herein, we propose a new strategy for real-time studying of mRNA-protein interactions in a single living cell using fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS) and molecular beacon (MB) labeling techniques. The c-myc mRNA and coding region determinant binding protein (CRDBP) were used as models. We first evaluated the performances of unmodified (2'-deoxy) and modified (2'-O-methyl) MBs and found that the 2'-O-methyl loop MB (2'-O-methyl loop domain, 2'-deoxy stem region) has high affinity to target mRNA and good nuclease resistance. Then we constructed stable cell line expressing mCherry-CRDBP using lentivirus infection, and on the basis of FCCS, we established an efficient method for quantifying the interaction of c-myc mRNA with CRDBP in a single living cell. The RNA binding domains of CRDBP cover two RNA recognition motifs (RRM) and four K homologies (KH). Furthermore, we constructed the truncated variants and point mutants on RNA binding domains of CRDBP, systematically studied the effects of RNA binding domains of CRDBP on c-myc mRNA-CRDBP interaction in living cells, and found that KH3-4 is indispensable for c-myc mRNA binding, KH1-2 plays a supplementary role, and RRM1-2 shows no binding ability to c-myc mRNA. Our work reveals the mechanisms of c-myc mRNA-CRDBP interactions and provides a general strategy for quantifying the interactions of endogenous mRNA with protein in a single living cell.

Protein phosphorylation is a very important regulatory mechanism in a majority of biological processes, and the determination of protein kinase activity plays a key role in the pathological study and drug development of kinase-related diseases. However, it is very challenging to in situ study endogenous protein kinase activity in a single living cell due to the shortage of in vivo efficient methods. Here, we propose a new strategy for direct determination of protein kinase activity in a single living cell by combining single molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) with activity-based probes (ABPs). Ribosomal S6 kinase-2 (RSK2) was used as a model, and the ABPs were synthesized on the basis of RSK2 inhibitor FMK to specially label active RSK2 in living cells. Conventional FCS and MEMFCS (maximum entropy method) single molecule techniques were used to in situ determine RSK2 activity in living cells based on the difference in molecular weight between free probes and probe-RSK2 complexes. Furthermore, wild-type and mutated RSK2 were fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) using lentivirus infection, and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS) was used to verify the selective binding of ABPs to RSK2-EGFP fusion protein in living cells. Finally, FCS with ABPs was applied for in situ monitoring of the activation of endogenous RSK2 in the stimulation of serum, epidermal growth factor, kinase inhibitors and ultraviolet irradiation; we observed that endogenous RSK2 showed different behaviors in the cytoplasm and the nucleus in some stimulation. Our results document that FCS with ABPs is a very promising method for studying endogenous protein kinases in living cells.

To clarify the volatilization of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in sewage sludge during co-combustion in cement kiln, effects of addition and types of four chlorides and temperature on the volatilization of heavy metals in raw meal with 25wt.% sewage sludge were investigated. The results showed that the volatilization of Cu, Ni, and Pb increased significantly with increase of chlorides addition, while no obvious change in the volatilization of Zn was observed. The effectiveness of chlorides on the volatilization of heavy metals depended on their release capacity of chlorine radicals and the chlorine combined capacity of heavy metals. Higher calcination temperature resulted in dramatically increase in the volatilization of heavy metals due to easier formation of volatile heavy metal chlorides. The results will provide a guideline for co-combusting heavy metals contained solid wastes in cement kiln on the basis of security.

A method for detecting trace impurities in high concentration matrix by ICP-AES based on partial least squares (PLS) was established. The research showed that PLS could effectively correct the interference caused by high level of matrix concentration error and could withstand higher concentrations of matrix than multicomponent spectral fitting (MSF). When the mass ratios of matrix to impurities were from 1 000 : 1 to 20 000 : 1, the recoveries of standard addition were between 95% and 105% by PLS. For the system in which interference effect has nonlinear correlation with the matrix concentrations, the prediction accuracy of normal PLS method was poor, but it can be improved greatly by using LIN-PPLS, which was based on matrix transformation of sample concentration. The contents of Co, Pb and Ga in stream sediment (GBW07312) were detected by MSF, PLS and LIN-PPLS respectively. The results showed that the prediction accuracy of LIN-PPLS was better than PLS, and the prediction accuracy of PLS was better than MSF.
