Abstract

Integrated systems that offer traceable cancer therapy are highly desirable for personalized medicine. Herein, a probe is reported that is composed of a red‐emissive photosensitizer (PS) with aggregation‐induced emission characteristics and a built‐in apoptosis sensor with activatable green emission for targeted cancer cell ablation and real‐time monitoring of PS activation and therapeutic response. The probe is nonemissive in aqueous media and can be selectively uptaken by αvβ3 integrin overexpressed cancer cells. Cleavage of the probe by intracellular glutathione leads to release of the apoptosis sensor and red fluorescence turn‐on to report the PS activation. Upon light irradiation, the PS can generate reactive oxygen species to induce cell apoptosis and activate caspase‐3/‐7, which will cleave the apoptosis sensor to yield intense green fluorescence. Both the red and green emission can be obtained through a single wavelength excitation, which makes the probe very convenient for therapeutic protocol development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
