The resistance of cancer cells to apoptosis poses a significant challenge in cancer therapy, driving the exploration of alternative cell death pathways such as pyroptosis, known for its rapid and potent effects. While initial efforts focused on chemotherapy-induced pyroptosis, concerns about systemic inflammation highlight the need for precise activation strategies. Photothermal therapy emerges as a promising non-invasive technique, minimizing pyroptosis-related side effects by targeting tumors spatially and temporally.

Article Synopsis
  • Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are advanced light-emitting materials that use near-infrared light for sensing, helping to avoid issues caused by natural fluorescence in biological samples.
  • Traditional UCNP designs have limitations in accurately locating luminescent doped ions within their structure, leading to background noise and inefficient light emission.
  • The new core-middle-shell UCNPs-IR820 design improves luminescence detection by incorporating a "sandwich" structure that enhances energy transfer, allowing for effective signaling changes in response to specific analytes like ClO.

Herein, a water-soluble, ultrabright, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent, mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs)-peptide bioconjugate is designed with dual targeting capabilities. Cancer cell surface overexpressed αβ integrin targeting two RGDS tetrapeptide residues is tethered at the macrocycle of MIMs-peptide bioconjugate via Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry on the Wang resin, and mitochondria targeting lipophilic cationic TPP functionality is conjugated at the axle dye. Living carcinoma cell selective active targeting, subsequently cell penetration, mitochondrial imaging, including the ultrastructure of cristae, and real-time tracking of malignant mitochondria by MIMs-peptide bioconjugate (RGDS)-Mito-MIMs-TPP are established by stimulated emission depletion (STED) super-resolved fluorescence microscopy.

Fluorogenic RNA aptamers have various applications, including use as fluorescent tags for imaging RNA trafficking and as indicators of RNA-based sensors that exhibit fluorescence upon binding small-molecule fluorophores in living cells. Current fluorogenic RNA:fluorophore complexes typically emit visible fluorescence. However, it is challenging to develop fluorogenic RNA with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence for in vivo imaging and sensing studies.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have received increasing attention from organic electronics to other related fields, such as bioapplications and photocatalysts. However, it remains a challenging task for TADF emitters to showcase the versatility concurrent with high performance in multiple applications. Herein, we first present such a proof-of-concept TADF material, namely, QCN-SAC, through strategically manipulating exciton dynamics.
