报告摘要：
With signal amplification and multiplexing capability, optical nanoparticles have found their unique position in in-vitro diagnostics. However, their in vivo sensing applications are mainly limited to preclinical settings, because their large sizes often result in slow clearance from the body after systemic administration, raising long-term toxicity issues. Moreover, the issue of light scattering and tissue reabsorption makes them effective only for superficial imaging. To address these limitations, we develop activatable polymeric nanosensors (APNs) with biomarker-triggered nanoparticle-to-molecule pharmacokinetic conversion and near-infrared fluorogenic turn-on response. APNs can accumulate at the disease site and react with disease-associated proteases to undergo in-situ enzyme-catalyzed depolymerization. This disease-specific interaction liberates renal-clearable fluorogenic fragments from APNs for noninvasive longitudinal urinalysis and outperforms the gold standard blood and urine assays, providing a level of sensitivity and specificity comparable to invasive biopsy and flow cytometry analysis. In rodent models, APNs enable ultrasensitive detection of tumors (1.6 mm diameter) and early diagnosis of acute liver allograft rejection. We anticipate that our modular nanosensor platform may be applied for early diagnosis of a range of diseases via a simple urine test.
