The conductive metal–organic framework (CMOF) is a promising application nanomaterial for the construction of electrochemical sensors. Three two-dimensional conductive M3(HHTP)2 materials with larger aspect ratios were prepared by a one-pot method using acetate-based metals (Cu, Ni, Co) and 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) with the introduction of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the limiting reagent. Compared with Ni3(HHTP)2 and Co3(HHTP)2, Cu3(HHTP)2 had a larger double capacitance, pore size, specific surface area, and smaller resistance. As a result, Cu3(HHTP)2 provided greater catalytic oxidation active surface area and charge transfer efficiency for malachite green (MG) detection. Hence, Cu3(HHTP)2 efficiently catalyzed MG oxidation and significantly improved the sensitivity of MG detection. Meanwhile, the oxidation current signal from the copper of Cu3(HHTP)2 was used as an internal reference signal to form a ratiometric electrochemical sensor with an MG oxidation current signal, which effectively reduced the external interference. The constructed electrochemical assay for MG detection displayed broad linearity (5–1000 nM) with a detection limit of 1.34 nM. In the meantime, MG residues in fish was evaluated and high reliability was obtained, confirming the feasibility of this valuable method for food safety and health evaluation of aquatic products.

Nanopesticides have been selected as one of the top 10 chemical innovations for enhancing the efficacy and safety of agrochemicals . Herein, smart, degradable, and eco-friendly metal−organic framework MIL-101(Fe III ) nanoherbicides coated with carboxymethyl cellulose-Ca II (CMC-Ca II ) cross-linking hydrogel-like networks are synthesized via a simple strategy. The coating of the CMC-Ca II hydrogel-like gatekeepers is oriented by the coordination unsaturated Fe III clusters on the surfaces of the MIL-101(Fe III ) nanocarriers to form a dense film network to prevent paraquat (PQ) leakage. Based on the stimuli factors (acid/basic pH, GSH, phosphates, and EDTA) of physiological and natural environments of target plants, the nanoherbicides are combined with five stimuli-responsive properties to attain the various controlled release of packaged PQ by the disassembly of the gatekeepers and/or the degradation of the MOF skeleton structure. More importantly, based on the stimuli-responsive controlled release mechanisms, the eco-friendly nanocarriers are ultimately degraded against bioaccumulation in plants or soil. The coating of natural CMC could promote the spreading of PQ owing to improvement of wettability for aqueous droplets of nanoherbicides on hydrophobic foliage. The PQ trapped in nanocarriers can effectively prevent PQ degradation, which showed that cumulative degradation rate is ca. 2.6 times lower than that of technical PQ under UV irradiation. The prepared nanoherbicides loaded with PQ show good control efficacy against weeds by controlling the release of PQ; good safety on seed germination (germination rate 97.32–99.67 %), seedling emergence (emergence rate 95.53–99.67 %), and are beneficial for the growth of wheat seedling (increase rate of plant height 1.89–6.97 % and 0.54–5.67 % after 7 and 15 days of seedling emergence, respectively) in the greenhouse; good biosafety for honeybees ( Apis mellifera L. ), which shows that lethal rates were 2.04 and 2.55 times lower than technical PQ for incubation 24 and 48 h, respectively. The nanoherbicides have potential applications in the field for PQ green agriculture.

Until now, no effective method has been found to monitor the Maillard reaction process for complex protein hydrolysates. Dynamic changes in the concentration of α-dicarbonyl compounds, fluorescence intensity, and browning degree were investigated during the Maillard reaction of corn protein hydrolysates. When the fluorescence intensity reached the peak, deoxyosones would continue to be increased by ARP’s degradation. However, the reaction node with the highest fluorescence intensity coincided with the turning point of the browning reaction, and the subsequent browning rate remarkably increased. Therefore, the change in fluorescence intensity could be used to monitor the degradation of ARP and the formation of browning melanoidin at different stages of the Maillard reaction of complex systems, thus effectively indicating the process of the Maillard reaction. When Maillard reaction intermediates (MRIs) with maximum fluorescent compounds were heated, the most abundant pyrazines were subsequently achieved. However, furan compounds would be progressively increased during the thermal process of MRIs with continuously enhanced browning.

The clinically restored blood supply post myocardial infarction (MI) will break the physiological and metabolic balance of the ischemic myocardial region, leading to a new injury known as myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Abundant oxygen brought by the fresh blood would trigger the damaged myocardium to produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thereby inflammation along with the recruitment and infiltration of activated neutrophils and macrophages. Inspired by the active targeting process of inflammatory cells, a novel “neutrophil-like” nanoassembly (At@NQA) was prepared by modifying neutrophil membrane fragments onto At@QA NPs containing 1:1 (molar ratio) calixarene molecule (QA) and anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic atorvastatin calcium (At). Tail vein injection of the At@NQA could efficiently target the damaged myocardium, inhibit oxidative damage and inflammation, reduce myocardial fibrosis, increase myocardial troponin T (cTnT) and connexin 43 (Cx43) expression, and thus improve cardiac functions effectively.

Although tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) constitutes a promising antitumor drug, tumor resistance to TRAIL has become a major obstacle in its clinical application. Mitomycin C (MMC) is an effective TRAIL-resistant tumor sensitizer, which indicates a potential utility of combination therapy. However, the efficacy of this combination therapy is limited owing to its short half-life and the cumulative toxicity of MMC. To address these issues, we successfully developed a multifunctional liposome (MTLPs) with human TRAIL protein on the surface and MMC encapsulated in the internal aqueous phase to codeliver TRAIL and MMC. MTLPs are uniform spherical particles that exhibit efficient cellular uptake by HT-29 TRAIL-resistant tumor cells, thereby inducing a stronger killing effect compared with control groups. In vivo assays revealed that MTLPs efficiently accumulated in tumors and safely achieved 97.8% tumor suppression via the synergistic effect of TRAIL and MMC in an HT-29 tumor xenograft model while ensuring biosafety. These results suggest that the liposomal codelivery of TRAIL and MMC provides a novel approach to overcome TRAIL-resistant tumors.

Label-free gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) plasmonic sensors are limited in the biological assay for weak expansibility. Here, a novel H 2 O 2 -sensing AuNPs plasmonic sensor was proposed using 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) redox catalysis of H 2 O 2 -indcued cysteine oxidation for AuNPs coloration (TreHOAuC), and the application of TreHOAuC was examined by combining H 2 O 2 -generating oxidase. In the TreHOAuC platform, TMB is transformed into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) by horseradish peroxidase in the presence of H 2 O 2 , and oxTMB is restored into TMB after oxidizing cysteine into cystine. The redox cycling of TMB boosts H 2 O 2 -induced cysteine oxidation, and the cysteine oxidation is visualized by AuNPs. Critical parameters of the TreHOAuC platform were optimized such as concentration, time, pH, and buffer. Using the TreHOAuC system, H 2 O 2 can be specifically sensed by naked eyes within 2 min, and the detection limit was less than 0.5 μM. As a proof-in-conception, a cholesterol oxidase-paired TreHOAuC system was used to detect cholesterol in serum samples, indicating a linear range of 2–40 μM and great preciseness. In summary, our proposed TreHOAuC method provided a novel and more comprehensive application for biological sensing.

A long-standing paucity of effective therapies results in the poor outcomes of triple-negative breast cancer brain metastases. Immunotherapy has made progress in the treatment of tumors, but limited by the non-immunogenicity of tumors and strong immunosuppressive environment, patients with TNBC brain metastases have not yet benefited from immunotherapy. Dual immunoregulatory strategies with enhanced immune activation and reversal of the immunosuppressive microenvironment provide new therapeutic options for patients. Here, we propose a cocktail-like therapeutic strategy of microenvironment regulation-chemotherapy-immune synergistic sensitization and construct reduction-sensitive immune microenvironment regulation nanomaterials ( [email protected] ). [email protected] modified with targeting peptide penetrates the BBB and is subsequently internalized into metastatic breast cancer cells, releasing silybin and oxaliplatin responsively in the cells. [email protected] preferentially accumulates at the metastatic site and can significantly prolong the survival period of model animals. Mechanistic studies have shown that [email protected] can effectively induce immunogenic cell death of metastatic cells, activate immune responses and increase infiltration of CD8 + T cells. Meanwhile, the activation of STAT3 in the metastatic foci is attenuated and the immunosuppressive microenvironment is reversed. This study demonstrates that [email protected] with dual immunomodulatory functions provides a promising immune synergistic therapy strategy for breast cancer brain metastases.

Immunotherapy as an alternative treatment strategy for B-cell lymphoma is undesirable because of tumor heterogeneity and immune surveillance. Spermidine (SPM), as a regulator of the tumor microenvironment (TME), can facilitate the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from cancer cells, promote immune recognition, and thus alleviate immune surveillance in the TME. Hence, in this work, self-assembled spermidine-based metal-immunopeptide nanocomplexes (APP-Fe NCs; APP is anti-programmed death ligand-1 peptide) with pH-responsive release kinetics were prepared via the flash nanocomplexation (FNC) technique based on the noncovalent interaction between APP-SPM-dextran (DEX) and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and coordination between Fe3+ and TPP. An in vitro study suggested that APP-Fe NCs effectively induce strong oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequently lead to ferroptosis in cells by interfering with homeostasis in lymphoma cells. Further investigation on lymphoma mice models demonstrated that APP-Fe NCs effectively inhibited the growth and liver metastasis of lymphomas. Mechanistically, by triggering ferroptosis in tumor tissues, these spermidine-containing APP-Fe NCs efficiently facilitated the release of DAMPs and ultimately reshaped TME to enhance immunotherapy efficacy in lymphoma. Combined with its good histocompatibility and facile preparation technique, this pH-responsive APP-Fe NCs with regulation on TME may hold potential for cascade amplification on the combinative immunotherapy of lymphoma in the clinic.

Triple-negative breast cancer is an offensive tumor that is highly challenging to cure. In this study, we developed novel polymeric nanoparticles that target dual receptors and respond to reducing conditions for chemotherapeutic drug release in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. Then we synthesized and characterized a targeted peptide-grafted chondroitin sulfate A-ss-deoxycholic acid (TCSSD) copolymer and prepare doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded TCSSD (TCSSD-D) micelles high-loading content. The bioresponsive drug release of TCSSD-D nanoparticles was demonstrated in a glutathione-containing phosphate buffer solution . We found that TCSSD-D effectively targeted CD44 and P-selectin receptors both in vitro and in vivo . TCSSD-D micelles were higher cytotoxicity and cellular uptake than unmodified DOX-containing micelles in MDA-MB-231 cells. Furthermore, TCSSD-D micelles showed the strongest suppression of tumor growth among three DOX-based formulations in triple-negative MDA-MB-231-bearing nude mice . These results suggest that amphiphilic TCSSD nanoparticles can serve as a targeted and intelligent delivery vehicle for triple-negative breast cancer therapy.

Bacillus anthracis spores can make humans infected with vicious anthrax, so it is significant to detect their biomarker 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA). The development of dual-modal methods for DPA detection that are more flexible in practical applications remains a challenge. Herein, colorimetric xylenol orange (XO) was modified on fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) for dual-modal detection of DPA through competitive coordination. After the binding of XO on CdTe QDs via coordination with Cd 2+ , CdTe QDs displayed quenched red fluorescence and the bound XO was presented as red color. The competitive coordination of DPA with Cd 2+ made XO released from CdTe QDs, causing the enhanced red fluorescence of CdTe QDs and the yellow color of free XO. On this basis, DPA was rapidly (1 min) quantified through fluorescent and colorimetric modes within the ranges of 0.1–5 μM and 0.5–40 μM, respectively. The detection limits for DPA were calculated as low as 42 nM and 240 nM, respectively assigned to fluorescent and colorimetric modes. The level of urinary DPA was further measured. Satisfactory relative standard deviations (fluorescent mode: 0.1%–10.2%, colorimetric mode: 0.8%–1.8%) and spiked recoveries (fluorescent mode: 100.0%–115.0%, colorimetric mode: 86.0%–96.6%) were obtained.

Antibiotic contamination has become a serious global problem due to abuse and misuse. Therefore, it is important to develop an efficient detection method to monitor the rational use of antibiotics. In this study, fluorescent gold nanoclusters with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid as ligands (MUA-AuNCs) were synthesized by a one-step method firstly. Rare earth ions (Re3+) can enhance the fluorescence of MUA-AuNCs through inducing the aggregation of MUA-AuNCs, but antibiotics decrease the fluorescence of the Re3+-MUA-AuNCs to different degrees through coordination with Re3+and competitive absorption with AuNCs. Therefore, a sensor array was obtained on the basis of the above mechanism, which can detect and discriminate six different antibiotics with a detection range from 40 to 300 μM. A 100% correct classification was achieved. The fluorescent sensor array showed high selectivity for tetracycline antibiotics and good anti-interference performance was demonstrated. Combined with pattern recognition methods, the proposed sensor array can be used for the discrimination of different antibiotics and binary antibiotic mixtures. Furthermore, the excellent performance of this sensor array in quantitation and blind sample recognition further validates its potential for practical applications.Keywords:antibiotics;sensor array;gold nanoclusters;rare earth ions

Citral, a natural antimicrobial agent, has been found to induce severe membrane damage resulting in bacterial death. Despite its effectiveness, there is a lack of in-depth research on its interaction with bacterial cells, especially at low concentrations. This work aimed to investigate the impact of citral concentration on its antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and to analyze the relevance between membrane damage and cell death. In this study, the minimal inhibitory concentration of citral against S. aureus was measured at 0.25 mg/mL. At a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL, citral significantly disturbed the cell membrane fluidity and permeability, leading to the leakage of intracellular macromolecules and rapid cell death. However, when the concentration was decreased to 0.25 mg/mL, the membrane damage was greatly reduced, and a complex biological process between citral and membrane components was found. Under continuous drug exposure, the cell membrane underwent gradual rigidification, concomitant with the loss of membrane function, ultimately causing cell death. Despite the fact that no notable disturbance to membrane functions was discovered, the presence of 0.125 mg/mL citral could still weaken the metabolic vitality and growth of S. aureus . Therefore, it was suggested that there could be multiple mechanisms of citral action on S. aureus cells, with drug concentration being a critical factor affecting the mode of action. Overall, the findings of this study provide valuable insights into the antibacterial mechanisms of natural compounds and broaden the potential applications of citral as a natural antimicrobial.
