RESUMO
Various signal molecules mediate complex physiological processes collectively in the Golgi. However, most currently accessible probes are questionable in illuminating the functions of these reactive species in Golgi because of the inability to irradiate these probes only at the desired Golgi location, which compromises specificity and accuracy. In this study, we rationally designed the first photocontrollable and Golgi-targeted fluorescent probe to in situ visualize the Golgi alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The designed probe with natural yellow fluorescence can provide access into Golgi and monitor the exact timing of accumulation in Golgi. On-demand photoactivation at only the desired Golgi location affords a significant emission response to ALP with illuminating red fluorescence at 710 nm. Through the photocontrollable fluorescence responsiveness to ALP, precise spatiotemporal recognition of Golgi ALP fluctuations is successfully performed. With this probe, for the first time, we revealed the Golgi ALP levels during cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), which will further facilitate and complement the comprehensive exploration of ALP kinetics during physiological and pathological processes.

Carbon monoxide shows great therapeutic potential in anti-cancer. In particular, the construction of multifunctional CO delivery systems can promote the precise delivery of CO and achieve ideal therapeutic effects, but there are still great challenges in design. In this work, a RSS and ROS sequentially activated CO delivery system is developed for boosting NIR imaging-guided on-demand photodynamic therapy. This designed system is composed of a CO releaser (BOD-CO) and a photosensitizer (BOD-I). BOD-CO can be specifically activated by hydrogen sulfide with simultaneous release of CO donor and NIR fluorescence that can identify H2S-rich tumors and guide light therapy, also depleting H2S in the process. Moreover, BOD-I generates 1O2 under long-wavelength light irradiation, enabling both PDT and precise local release of CO via a photooxidation mechanism. Such sequential activation of CO release by RSS and ROS ensured the safety and controllability of CO delivery, and effectively avoided leakage during delivery. Importantly, cytotoxicity and in vivo studies reveal that the release of CO combined with the depletion of endogenous H2S amplified PDT, achieving ideal anticancer results. It is believed that such theranostic nanoplatform can provide a novel strategy for the precise CO delivery and combined therapy involved in gas therapy and PDT.

Since hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important endogenous gaseous mediator, therapeutic manipulation of H2S is promising for anticancer treatment. In this work, we develop a novel theranostic nanoplatform with H2S-specific and photocontrolled synergistic activation for imaging-guided H2S depletion and downregulation along with promoted photothermal therapy. Such a nanoplatform is fabricated by integration of a H2S-responsive molecule probe that can generate a cystathionine-ß-synthase (CBS) inhibitor AOAA and a photothermal transducer into an NIR-light-responsive container. Our nanoplatform can turn on NIR fluorescence specifically in H2S-rich cancers, guiding further laser irradiation. Furthermore, prominent conversion of photoenergy into heat guarantees special container melting with controllable AOAA release for H2S-level downregulation. This smart regulation of the endogenous H2S level amplifies the PTT therapeutic effect, successfully suppressing colorectal tumor in living mice under NIR fluorescence imaging guidance. Thus, we believe that this nanoplatform may provide a powerful tool toward H2S-concerned cancer treatment with an optimized diagnostic and therapeutic effect.
