Accurate detection of Cys/Hcy levels is critical for evaluating human health conditions. In this study, we developed an innovative fluorescence/colorimetric dual-mode sensing system to detect Cys/Hcy by dynamically adjusting the level of oxTMB. The system utilizes Au@PtNPs with peroxidase-like activity to catalyze the oxidation of colorless 3,3,5,5- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxTMB, and TAPB@DMTP COF, a fluorescent nanomaterial with abundant spatial pores, could be used as a carrier for oxTMB, and the two were made fluorescence quenching due to the fluorescence inner filter effect. The addition of Cys/Hcy allowed the originally dispersed Au@PtNPs to aggregate to inhibit their peroxidase-like activity, thus indirectly regulating the oxTMB content. At this point, the absorbance signal decreased and fluorescence was restored. To this end, we have developed a special fluorescence/colorimetric dual-mode sensing system for the detection of Cys/Hcy. The detection limits of the fluorescence and colorimetric methods for Cys/Hcy were determined to be 0.788 nM (Cys), 0.663 nM (Hcy), and 1.795 nM (Cys), 1.886 nM (Hcy), respectively. The sensing system was also evaluated for its ability to withstand interferences from 12 anions and 13 amino acids, demonstrating excellent unti-interference and selectivity. The recoveries of the two methods for detecting Cys/Hcy in fetal bovine serum were found to be 98.9%-114.3% with RSDs as low as 0.52% (fluorescence) and 0.92% (colorimetric), respectively.

In this work, we introduced the acrylate recognition group into dicyanoisophorone derivative DCI-C–OH to construct the NIR fluorescent probe DCI-C-Cys with a large Stokes shift (240 nm). DCI-C-Cys could specifically respond to Cys, resulting in a 22-fold increase in fluorescence intensity at 702 nm. Meanwhile, the probe has the advantages of good water solubility, high sensitivity (93 nM), and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, DCI-C-Cys successfully monitored endogenous and exogenous Cys in HepG2 cells and zebrafish. Most importantly, we found that balsam pear polysaccharide could lead to the increase of intracellular Cys levels, which might be conducive to the further study of the antioxidant mechanism of balsam pear polysaccharide.

Barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.] is a dominant weed species occurring in rice fields across China. Metamifop, a common herbicide, is frequently applied to control E. crus-galli and other grassy weeds in rice fields. Herein, HS01, an E. crus-galli population suspected to be resistant (R) to metamifop, was collected from Hanshan County in Anhui Province. Whole-plant dose-response testing revealed that, compared with the susceptible (S) population FD03, HS01 had developed high-level resistance to metamifop with a resistance index (RI) of 11.76 and showed cross-resistance to cyhalofop-butyl (RI=9.33), fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (RI=5.80) and clethodim (RI=3.24). Gene sequencing revealed a Cys-2088-Arg mutation in ACCase 1,5 allele of all the R plants, while ACCase gene overexpression was not involved in the resistance. Molecular docking indicated that the less negative binding energies might be the main reason for the resistance of HS01 to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides. A derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) method was developed for the rapid identification of the Cys-to-Arg mutation in the ACCase gene at codon position 2088 in E. crus-galli. Additionally, pretreatment with the cytochrome P450 inhibitor piperonyl butoxide or the glutathione S-transferase inhibitor 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxa-diazole had no significant effects (p> 0.05) on the resistance of HS01 to metamifop. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a Cys-2088-Arg mutation in E. crus-galli ACCase that confers cross-resistance to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides.

This work described a two-step conjugate synthesis of a porous nanostructured materials (PTCA–Cys) composed of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) and l -cysteine (Cys) and then the sensor prepared by the deposited gold nanocrystals (DpAu) immobilized in this nanostructure film was developed. The interesting PTCA–Cys layer not only could provide SH-functionalized interface but also easily forms a stable thin film on the electrode surface with the porous nanostructure , thus, it is very beneficial to electrode modification. Furthermore, with the DpAu film onto PTCA–Cys modified electrode , the proposed sensors exhibited the excellent catalytic activity and the high selectivity toward the oxidation of AA , DA and UA . Moreover, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and different pulse voltammetry were employed to characterize the sensors. Under the optimal conditions, the linear response range for simultaneous detection of AA, DA, and UA were 20–700 μM, 2–402 μM and 0.4–252.4 μM, respectively, and the detection limits were 6.40 μM, 0.67 μM and 0.12 μM (S/N = 3). More importance, the proposed method offers promise for simple, rapid and cost-effective analysis of small biomolecules .

A novel approach to prepare a HAu(Cys)2 compound via a ligand exchange reaction in an aqueous solution is introduced. The prepared HAu(Cys)2 compound is shown as a very good main salt for environmentally friendly cyanide-free gold electrodeposition. From the established simple and sustainable electrolyte recipe just containing HAu(Cys)2, cysteine, and potassium hydroxide, the electrodeposited gold is pure, fine, and compact.

Biothiols like Cys, Hcy and GSH play important roles in various physiological and pathological processes, and it is still challenging to simultaneously and discriminatively detect GSH and Cys/Hcy due to their similar structures and reaction activities. Hence, it would be highly desirable to design a fluorescent probe for simultaneously discriminating GSH and Cys/Hcy in biological samples with no spectral crosstalk , few interferences and rapid response. Herein, through coupling two fluorophores with biothiol-sensitive linker, we developed a fluorescent probe , which has two biothiol-responsive and distinctly-separated emissions via independent visible-light excitations, for simultaneously discriminating GSH and Cys/Hcy with near-infrared and green emissions. The probe is operable in human serum samples, thus holding promise for diagnostic-related applications. Moreover, the probe shows quite good properties. First, it exhibits a rapid response (within a few minutes) with highly selective and sensitive detection for GSH and Cys/Hcy. Second, it offers an apparent colorimetric and two fluorescence emission signals without spectral crosstalk . Third, it shows low cytotoxicity. Therefore, it would provide a useful method for further elucidating the roles of biothiols as well as for conducting pathological analysis for diseases involving biothiols.

Cysteine (Cys) is essential for numerous physiological processes and play a vital role in disease diagnostics, underscoring the necessity for effective and sensitive detection techniques for Cys. In this research, we introduce an ultrasensitive colorimetric approach based on oxidase-like Mn 3 O 4 nanozymes. The nanozymes were synthesized through a straightforward wet chemical method and displayed a flower-like globular morphology, showing remarkable oxidase-like catalytic performance with a low K m value of 0.1896 mM and a high V max of 2.8 × 10⁻⁷ M s⁻¹. By leveraging the outstanding catalytic activities of Mn 3 O 4 nanozymes and optimizing the TMB concentration, we developed a novel and sensitive colorimetric sensor for Cys detection. Experimental results indicated a detection range for Cys between 0.5 and 45 μM, with a lower limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02636 μM. This established method for detecting Cys reveals significant promise for the advancement of effective sensing systems.

An ultrasensitive immunosensor of Cys/Au@TiO 2 based on disposable screen-printed electrodes (SPE) for PIVKA-II detection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis was developed by utilizing Cystine (Cys) and nanocomposite Au@TiO 2 . Firstly, HAuCl 4 underwent a reduction reaction with NaBH 4 , then Au nanoparticles were coated onto TiO 2 nanoparticles. Followed, Cys/Au@TiO 2 was formed through self-assembly of cysteine to allow the monoclonal antibody of abnormal thrombospondin to bound to the amino group on the surface of the composite by covalent bonding. The mechanism is to determine the changes in the current of the sensor caused by the specific binding of the abnormal prothrombin monoclonal antibody adsorbed by the complex with its antigen. The Cys/Au@TiO 2 immunosensor was fully characterized by various analytical approaches and it showed a wide linear testing range of 1–10000 pg mL −1 (R 2 = 0.991) and the limit of detection down to 0.77 pg ml −1 , with highly sensitivity and specificity. The results showed that the developed immunosensor platform can effectively detect trace amounts of PIVKA-II protein and has potent clinical application for HCC diagnosis.

Unpredictable pandemics are likely to pose a significant global threat in the future, and biologically protective textiles will play critical roles in controlling the spread of pathogens during outbreaks. Herein, we present a novel metal–organic framework (MOF) composed of repeating units of a Cu(II)/(L-Cys) 2 complex formed through coordination bonds between Cu(II) and L-Cys, while being interconnected by ionic bonds involving Cu(II) and the carboxylate group of L-Cys. After covalently embedding the MOF nanofibers onto cotton fiber surfaces, the resulting fabrics exhibit remarkable virucidal and antibacterial capabilities. Remarkably, even after 200 friction or 50 laundering cycles, the high antiviral ability to inactivate all phi- × 174 within 10 min was maintained, and the bacterial reduction rate against E. coli and S. aureus remained nearly at 100%. The remarkable virucidal effect of the L-Cys@Cu MOF structure is elucidated through a series of α-amylase denaturation simulation tests, providing the first experimental demonstration of the antiviral mechanism, whereby MOF nanofibers induce protein denaturation to inactivate viruses. Moreover, cytotoxicity assessments confirm that the fabrics adorned with MOF nanofibers are safe for human skin. These advantages are promising for the development of protective textiles, highlighting the great potential of nanoscience in combating pandemics. Graphical Abstract

Cancer is a serious threat to human health, and it is essential to find effective methods for detecting and treating cancer. Diagnostic integration is a new strategy for cancer diagnosis and treatment that enables localized detection and treatment of tumors in a single administration and effectively reduces the toxic side effects on normal tissues. It remains a challenge for small-molecule probes to achieve multifunctionality in sensing, targeting, imaging, and therapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which uses photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species under specific wavelengths of light to ablate tumor tissue, has demonstrated unique advantages in tumor treatment. However, the high expression of Cys/GSH in the tumor region will consume the reactive oxygen species generated by photosensitizers during PDT and reduce the therapeutic effect of the tumor. In this study, the highly expressed Cys/GSH in the tumor microenvironment was used as the activation source, and benzopyrylium salt and coumarin dyes were selected as fluorophores, with the ether bond and aldehyde group as recognition sites, to construct a near-infrared-activated Cys/GSH fluorescent probe (Bpl-O-Cou). Based on the intramolecular rearrangement mechanism and intramolecular cyclization mechanism, Bpl-O-Cou could discriminate the detection of Cys/GSH accompanied by different fluorescence emissions. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, Bpl-O-Cou + Cys/GSH could produce •OH and O2–•, leading to 4T1 cell death. In vivo experiments further illustrated the interventional role of Bpl-O-Cou in the PDT process. This study provides a new idea for the design of multifunctional probes for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.

Accumulating evidence shows that tRNA-derived fragments are a novel class of functional small non-coding RNA; however, their roles in aortic dissection (AD) are still unknown. In this study, we found that 5′-tiRNA-Cys-GCA was significantly downregulated in human and mouse models of aortic dissection. The abnormal proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) played a crucial role in the initiation and progression of aortic dissection, with 5′-tiRNA-Cys-GCA as a potential phenotypic switching regulator, because its overexpression inhibited the proliferation and migration of VSMCs and increased the expression of contractile markers. In addition, we verified that signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) was a direct downstream target of 5′-tiRNA-Cys-GCA. We found that the STAT4 upregulation in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated VSMCs, which promoted cell proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transformation, was reversed by 5′-tiRNA-Cys-GCA. Furthermore, 5′-tiRNA-Cys-GCA treatment reduced the incidence and prevented the malignant process of angiotensin II- and β-aminopropionitrile-induced AD in mice. In conclusion, our findings reveal that 5′-tiRNA-Cys-GCA is a potential regulator of the AD pathological process via the STAT4 signaling pathway, providing a novel clinical target for the development of future treatment strategies for aortic dissection.

An upconversion luminescence method was developed for the determination of glutathione (GSH), L -cysteine (Cys) or L -ascorbic acid (AA) based on redox reaction . We synthesized poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-modified Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb,Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), and the luminescence of these UCNPs was effectively quenched due to their carboxyl groups coordinating with Fe 3+ to form a UCNPs/Fe 3+ system. GSH, Cys or AA reduced Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ , which induced the luminescence recovery of the UCNPs. Under the optimized conditions, wide linear concentration ranges from 0.25-300 μM for GSH, 0.5–875 μM for Cys and 0.5–350 μM for AA were found, and the detection limits (3 S/K) were 0.2 μM, 0.5 μM and 0.2 μM, respectively. Thus, the UCNPs/Fe 3+ system was successfully applied for sensing GSH, Cys or AA.
