Abstract:Stem cell-based regenerative medicine holds great promise in clinical practices. However, the fate of stem cell after transplantation, including the distribution, viability, and differentiation capability, is not fully understood, which is critical to understand the process and the underlying mechanism of regeneration for better therapeutic effects. My research focuses on cell fate monitoring and regulation in regenerative medicine. By using multidisciplinary technologies, I established a novel method for efficient and safe labeling of stem cells with NIR-II fluorescent Ag2S quantum dots and established a novel imaging platform for in vivo stem cell tracking with deep tissue penetration and high spatiotemporal resolution. With the novel imaging platform, I systematically revealed the function and fate of transplanted stem cells and the molecular mechanisms involved in tissue regeneration. Moreover, under the guidance of accurate NIR-II imaging, I developed new technologies for cell paracrine, differentiation regulation and neural regeneration for Alzheimer’s disease treatment. These studies provide new approaches for the application of multidisciplinary technology in regenerative medicine.

Abstract: Measurement at the single molecule level has greatly enhanced the precision and depth of our knowledge about living system. In recent years, biological nanopore acting as a single biomolecule interface has evolved into a priming strategy for single molecule analysis with high spatiotemporal resolution and ultra-sensitivity. The electrochemical sensing mechanism depends greatly on the ionic current changes during the translocation of target molecule, which is also defined as current blockage. It plays key role in the nanopore based sensing capability and further applications, that includes single-molecule DNA sequencing, peptide/protein sensing, detecting rare species, resolving the hidden intermediates and enzymatic process measurement. Nonetheless, challenges arise when the current blockage mechanism is applied to the biomolecule detection in real-life samples and amino acids discrimination in protein sequencing due to the limited specificity and resolutions. Herein, we revisit the underlying nanoconfined controlled electrochemical sensing mechanism and propose a modified conductance model induced by the noncovalent interactions between the single biomolecule interface and the target molecule. This understanding of nanopore current blockage provides a new strategy to achieve volume difference sensing at the atomic level with highly specific current events, promote the nanopore protein sequencing and its applications in real-life systems.

Enzyme Assisted Peptide Folding, Self-assembly and Bioactivity

Biography: Zhimou Yang, born 1978 in Guangdong Province, China. Dr. Yang received his BS from Nanjing University in 2001.

He obtained the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars from National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2018.

Abstract:Most of peptide segments in proteins are constrained into certain conformations, especially for bioactive peptides. However, when these peptides are separated from proteins, they failed to fold into their inherent conformations and therefore lost their functionalities.The generation of α-helical peptide and α-helix mimetic is very important to achieve biological functions of peptides or inhibit protein-protein interactions. Several strategies have been developed to induce α-helix conformation of short peptides including constrained peptides and foldamers. We recently found that enzyme instructed self-assembly (EISA) provided a unique pathway to trigger the formation of α-helix of short peptides, which was unable to be achieved by other conventional methods. The nanomaterials formed by EISA held several advantages including more stable nanostructures, better stability against enzyme digestion, enhanced cellular uptake, bigger fluorescence signal to noise ratio, and higher efficiency to inhibit cancer cells and tumors. Using different pathways to trigger peptide self-assembly, we could fold bioactive peptides into α-helix and b-sheet and we developed a self-assembling peptides with superior bioactivity to the growth factor of IGF-1. We envisioned that EISA, in combine with kinetic control of enzymatic reaction, would lead to nanomaterials with well controlled nanostructures and biofunctions.

Abstract:In recent years, the rapid advancement of nanomedicine has provided new opportunities for tumor diagnosis and treatment, and real-time monitoring of tumor locations with the help of a variety of molecular imaging methods is of great significance for improving the accuracy of tumor diagnosis and improving prognosis. However, the toxicity, degradability and biocompatibility of nanomaterials hamper their further clinical applications. As an endogenous natural substance in organisms, melanin features good biosafety and clinical transformation prospects. Besides, due to easier chelation between the natural melanin nanoparticles and metal ions, as well as desired near-infrared light absorption and strong photothermal conversion efficiency, they can play a role in a variety of biological imaging and tumor treatment fields. The construction of multifunctional diagnostic and therapeutic nanoprobes by modifying natural melanin nanoparticles has high clinical transformation application value for achieving safer and more efficient tumor diagnosis and treatment integration.

Abstract: Nuclear medicine molecular imaging is an important part of precision medicine, and plays an irreplaceable role in the early diagnosis, staging, prognosis evaluation, individualized treatment and efficacy monitoring of diseases, especially tumors. Whats the most worth mentioning is 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, which is the gold standard for imaging diagnosis and staging of multiple malignant tumors. Compared with PET technology, SPECT, another nuclear medicine molecular imaging technology, has lower equipment and drug costs, higher clinical penetration rate and better application basis. However, the lack of effective imaging agent like 18F-FDG limits the play of SPECT imaging technology in tumor diagnosis and efficacy evaluation. This report will focus on the research progress and clinical application of SPECT imaging drugs.

Abstract:Oligopeptides (small molecular peptides) have the primary structure same to proteins, both of which are composed of amino acids. They have the advantages of programmable design of molecular sequence, flexible and controllable assembled structures, etc. Oligopeptides have been developed into a class of important building blocks, providing a new opportunity for creating and developing new biomedical materials. It was found that "liquid-liquid phase separation" is the "promoter" of self-assembly of small biological molecules including peptides, which plays a decisive role in the nucleation and growth of the assembly. The formation of solute-rich droplets driven by hydrophobic interaction is an entropy driven process, while the transition from droplets to more thermodynamic stable assemblies (such as nanofibers, nanoparticles and nanocrystals) is an enthalpy driven process and is dominated by hydrogen bonding. Based on this finding, a new mechanism of LLPS-mediated nucleation and growth was proposed, which makes sense for understanding the supramolecular self-assembly process and precisely controlling the structure and function of the assembly. Based on the insight into the mechanism of peptide self-assembly, a series of photodynamic/photothermal functional assemblies were further accurately constructed to achieve tumor imaging and effective treatment at the level of living mice. Furthermore, the functions of tumor targeting and immune response can be achieved by designing the peptide sequence. This study may provides a toolbox for construction of assembled nanodrugs with potential of clinical translation.

Daiwen Pang (Professor of Nankai University)
Multi-hierarchical Equilibration of Quantum Dots

Biography: Dr. Dai-Wen Pang, a distinguished professor of chemistry at Nankai University and the Head of SAC/TC279/WG10, focuses on biomedical quantum dots (BioQDs, fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals) for biolabeling and dynamic bioimaging. He has proposed the principle of “multi-hierarchical equilibration of QDs”, and first broken through the stability dilemma that limits their application on a large scale for 42 years (1980-2022), making the large-scale applications possible in biolabeling and optoelectronic display. Their QD light diffusion plate technology has been applied to >2 million QD TV. For his outstanding contributions to the development of QD-based methodologies for single-virus tracking, he was elected as a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2021.

Abstract: Quantum dots (QDs) are promising candidates of fluorophores for a wide variety of applications in biomedical imaging, and optoelectronic devices, etc. They can be regarded as a multi-hierarchical assembly, consisting of an inorganic semiconductor nanocrystal core, a ligand layer, and sometimes a confinement shell. Each single hierarchy of QDs has been systematically studied and now it is not difficult to achieve a single one of properties of QDs to the extreme. However, it is very difficult that their comprehensive properties are perfectly good. In practical application scenarios or environments, the intrinsic linkage and balance among single hierarchical structures must be comprehensively considered. Therefore, multi-hierarchical equilibration tuning of QDs is highly required. To this end, we propose that only by comprehensive equilibration of multi-hierarchical structures of QDs including the inorganic semiconductor nanocrystal core, confinement shell and surface ligands, especially together with potential application scenarios (microenvironment), we can fabricate QDs with excellent properties. In this presentation, we will discuss in detail our insights into developing and exploiting the excellent optical properties of QDs.

Abstract: Platinum-based anticancer drugs play an important role in the treatment of various malignancies such as colorectal and testicular cancers. However, drug resistance and side effects are challenging problems that hinder their wider clinical applications. Chemical biology approaches could be applied for elucidating the mechanism of action of different platinum anticancer drugs, and provides important tools for understanding the biological effects of platinum anticancer complexes in cellular energy conversion, metabolism and apoptosis.In this talk, I will focus on the molecular design of platinum-based antitumor complexes with multi-specific targeting potentials. These results demonstrated that in addition to DNA binding, bio-energetic pathways may also play crucial roles in the antitumor activity of mitochondrion-targeted platinum complexes. The combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in one molecule offers potential superiority for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer.

Abstract: Development of efficient fluorescent probes with intense far-red/near-infrared (FR/NIR) emission (> 650 nm) is of great importance in biosensing and bioimaging research. To date, a large variety of materials, including organic dyes, fluorescent proteins and inorganic quantum dots (QDs), has been extensively studied for the purpose of FR/NIR fluorescence imaging. Organic dyes and fluorescent proteins, however, suffer from limited molar absorptivity and low photobleaching thresholds, while inorganic QDs are highly cytotoxic in an oxidative environment: this has greatly limited the scope of their in vitro and in vivo applications. Exploration of novel FR/NIR fluorescent probes with a high biological compatibility, strong photobleaching resistance, and efficient light emission is highly desirable for biosensing and bioimaging. Herein, we designed and synthesized new FR/NIR fluorescent probes based on semiconducting polymers or fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. We then explored the biomedical applications of these new fluorescent probes, which were demonstrated as very promising probes for in vitro and in vivo biosensing and bioimaging applications.

Abstract: The measurement of cell temperature is helpful to the understanding of the physiological state of cells, cell events and the effect of drug treatment on cells, therefore, an important and new development direction of cell informatics. We have been focused on exploring new methods of cell temperature measurement; a Pt-W micro-nano thermocouple temperature measurement system has been built to prepare submicron temperature probes, which successfully realized the detection of single-cell temperature changes. Via this system, we have studied the different response characteristics of cells with different expression levels of protein "missing in metastasis" (MIM) under the stimulation of camptothecin and paclitaxel; a Pt resistance sensor for multi-cell temperature measurement has been constructed based on heat transfer, physical chemistry and MEMS technology, which features low heat capacity, thermal resistance and self-assembled nano-film containing amino acid functional groups that is conducive to cell adhesion and detection of weak thermal signals. The sensor was used to measure the the temperature changes of several HEK-293T cells during normal growth and apoptosis. Furthermore, the multi-cell wireless temperature measurement system was developed based on the principle of thermal resistance, which can conduct real-time non-invasive temperature detection during the normal culture process of cell. Through this system, we studied the changes of cell temperature during the process of inflammation generation and repairm  measured the temperature changes when different cold and hot drugs acted on melanoma cell line A375, and had preliminary exploration of its working mechanism.

Abstract:  Since it allows the study of dynamics of molecular changes in the process of life while the integrity of the structure and molecular network of living organisms (plants and animals) are better maintained, in vivo analysis has essential significance in the research of chemistry and its interdisciplinary research with life. Different from the existing chemical measurement research, in vivo analysis takes living plants or animals as the research object and therefore faces scientific and technical challenges new to the existing ones. Together with my research group, we conduct researches on the selectivity and biocompatibility of in vivo analysis research by the principles of electrochemistry, aiming to develop new principles and methods of in vivo sensing analysis, and realize the application of some sensing methods in vivo chemistry (especially in vivo brain chemistry) research.

Abstract: The efficient acquisition of biochemical information of organisms, which is essential for human beings to explore the nature of life and provides new methods for early diagnosis of diseases and navigation in tumor surgery, has become a research hotspot in modern analytical chemistry as well as a challengeDue to its advantages such as faster response, smaller damage to samples, and real-time dynamic monitoring, etc., fluorescence imaging technology based on molecular probes has become a powerful research tool for obtaining biochemical information at the cellular and organismal level. However, with conventional fluorescence probes, it is difficult to achieve accurate imaging of cells and targets in vivo due to the challenges such as signal diffusion, limited response to specificity and background signal interference for in vivo imaging. In response to these critical issues, the team has carried out a series of researches: 1) In order to achieve accurate in situ measurement of target molecules in cells and in vivo, the team has developed a series of new in situ imaging molecular probes based on the orderly assembly mechanism of small molecular probes driven by hydrogen bonds, and established a new method for fluorescence in situ imaging analysis of small molecular probes; 2) In order to achieve highly specific acquisition of biochemical information in complex biological systems, based on the systematic study of the "structure-activity" relationship of fluorescent imaging probes, the team has proposed the strategy of developing highly selective fluorescent probes through molecular structural regulation, and developed new methods for highly selective biological imaging analysis; 3) In order to reduce the interference of background signals in biological tissues and enhance the depth of tissue imaging of traditional optical probes, the team has brought forward an innovated highly bright long-lasting luminescent material based on the electron-rich anthracene derivatives, developed a precision imaging analysis method based on long-afterglow resonance energy transfer and realized the long-lasting luminescence imaging of conscious, freely moving animals for the first time.

Abstract: The applications of molecular recognition, early diagnosis of tumor, surgical guidance and photodynamic therapy can be improved through smart molecular design. For example, by introducing recognition groups on dye molecules, a number of fluorescent molecular probes can be created, which has fluorescence response to different guests and environments. For example, the development of fluorescence imaging with high-level expression of characteristic enzymes in cancer cells allows the differentiation between cancer tissues, inflammatory tissues and normal tissues, providing a basis for accurate diagnosis and treatment of cancer; It can also be used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of tumors through smart modification of dye molecules. Its core lies in the target selectivity, photosensitivity and adaptability to hypoxia of dye photosensitizers.

Abstract: Our group is interested in the development of biosensor for the detection of reactive oxygen species and metal ions as well as the pH value in the brain. Recently, by using a ratio Fe2+ electrochemical sensor based on Au-CC interface, it was first discovered that the uptake of extracellular Fe2+ into cortex and striatum was mediated by cAMP. which provided an insight understanding for the signaling pathway of Fe2+ entrance into neurons in the different regions of live brain. We also presented an electrochemo-physiological microarray (ECPM) for real-time recording of electrical signals and chemical signals for multiple ions in the deep brain of a free-moving rat without cross-talk. Furthermore, we constructed an anti-biological pollution fiber array to monitor the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ and the local potential of neurons in 7 different brain regions, and found that ROS has an impact on Ca2+ and neuronal death during stroke.
