Here, we report a β-galactosidase (β-Gal)-responsive photochromic fluorescent probe, NpG, that was designed to prebind human serum albumin (HSA) form the probe/protein hybrid, NpG@HSA. The formation of NpG@HSA led an increase in fluorescence emission (520 nm) corresponding binding naphthalimide unit with HSA. In addition, this enabled visualization spiropyran aqueous media. Our hybrid approach afforded unique imaging platform enhanced cell permeability and solubility capable visualizing...

Changes in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and peroxynitrite (ONOO–) concentrations have been correlated a number of diseases including ischemia-reperfusion injury drug-induced liver injury. Herein, we report the development fluorescent probe ATP-LW, which enables simultaneous detection ONOO– ATP. selectively oxidizes boronate pinacol ester ATP-LW to afford 4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide product NA-OH (λex = 450 nm, λem 562 nm or λex 488 568 nm). In contrast, binding ATP induces spirolactam ring...

Abstract Development of powerful fluorescence imaging probes and techniques sets the basis for spatiotemporal tracking cells at different physiological pathological stages. While current approaches rely on passive probe–analyte interactions, here we develop photochromic fluorescent glycoprobes capable remote light-controlled intracellular target recognition. Conjugation between a fluorophore spiropyran produces probe, which is subsequently equipped with glycoligand “antenna” to actively...

A 2D "glycosheet" based on supramolecular self-assembly between MoS2 and fluorescent glycoligands is developed. The composite material proven suitable for targeted intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (singlet oxygen) by the sequential control a receptor endocytosis light irradiation.

Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) consist of a diverse range oxidative small molecular ions and free radicals that are produced throughout the body during certain biological processes. Due to their high reactivity, these molecules result in damage tissues cells. Therefore, ROS have been implicated an array diseases including cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative such as Parkinson's disease Alzheimer's disease. Owing simplicity, sensitivity, selectivity fluorescence‐based strategies,...

Abstract Chronic inflammation and an immunosuppressive microenvironment promote prostate cancer (PCa) progression diminish the response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies. However, it remains unclear how what extent these two events are coordinated. Here, we show that ARID1A, a subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, functions downstream inflammation-induced IKKβ activation shape tumor (TME). Prostate-specific deletion Arid1a cooperates with Pten loss accelerate...

Abstract Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a crucial role in cancer metastasis, accompanied with vast epigenetic changes. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), cellular energy sensor, regulatory roles multiple biological processes. Although few studies have shed light on AMPK regulating the inside mechanisms remain unknown. Herein we show that activation by metformin relieves repressive H3K9me2-mediated silencing of epithelial genes (e.g., CDH1) during EMT processes and...
