The dynamic and tissue-specific nature of protein secretion underlies a wide range of physiological and pathological processes, yet tools for profiling the in vivo secretome with high spatial and temporal resolution remain limited. Here, we present STePTag (Spatio-Temporal Protein Tagging), a conditional proximity labeling (PL) system for profiling secreted proteins in live animals. STePTag integrates the rapid labeling kinetics of the PL enzyme TurboID with a destabilized dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) domain, enabling tight post-translational control of labeling activity through the small-molecule stabilizer trimethoprim (TMP). Targeting STePTag to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) confines labeling to the secretory pathway and enables robust labeling within 10 min of TMP administration. Furthermore, we design tissue-specific lipid nanoparticles (tsLNPs) to enable programmable, in vivo delivery of STePTag to the mouse liver. Using this approach, we identified 93 liver-derived secretory proteins under physiological conditions and uncovered 40 dynamically regulated proteins in a model of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury (ALI), including Aldh1a1, which we functionally validated as a protective factor in ALI. Together, STePTag provides a versatile platform for spatiotemporally resolved secretome profiling, enabling the discovery of context-dependent biomarkers and tissue-derived signaling molecules in native physiological environments.
Neuroscience, a cutting-edge field in interdisciplinary research, consistently draws considerable research interest, of which quantitatively probing the neurochemical dynamics is essential for brain science research. In vivo electrochemical analysis, featuring with high sensitivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, free from transfection, and designable electrode/solution interfaces, provides important tools for in vivo neurochemicals sensing. Fast scan cyclic voltammetry combined with microelectrodes can not only enable precise detection of dopamine but also is compatible with existing neurosurgical equipment. This offers new opportunities for the clinical application of in vivo electrochemical analysis and paves new avenues for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. This review summarized recent progress of in vivo electrochemical techniques for brain neurochemistry and addressed key clinical challenges and their potential solutions.
Potentiometry based on the galvanic cell mechanism, i.e., galvanic redox potentiometry (GRP), has recently emerged as a new tool for in vivo neurochemical sensing with high neuronal compatibility and good sensing property. However, the stability of open circuit voltage (EOC) outputting remains to be further improved for in vivo sensing application. In this study, we find that the EOC stability could be enhanced by adjusting the sort and the concentration ratio of the redox couple in the counterpart pole (i.e., indicating electrode) of GRP. With dopamine (DA) as the sensing target, we construct a spontaneously powered single-electrode-based GRP sensor (GRP2.0) and investigate the correlation between the stability and the redox couple used in the counterpart pole. Theoretical consideration suggests that the EOC drift is minimum when the concentration ratio of the oxidized form (O1) to the reduced form (R1) of the redox species in the backfilled solution is 1:1. The experimental results demonstrate that, compared with other redox species (i.e., dissolved O2 at 3 M KCl, potassium ferricyanide (K3Fe(CN)6), and hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride (Ru(NH3)6Cl3)) used as the counterpart pole, potassium hexachloroiridate(IV) (K2IrCl6) exhibits better chemical stability and outputs more stable EOC. As a result, when IrCl62-/3- with the concentration ratio of 1:1 is used as the counterpart, GRP2.0 displays not only an excellent EOC stability (i.e., 3.8 mV drifting during 2200 s for in vivo recording) but also small electrode-to-electrode variation (i.e., the maximum EOC variation between four electrodes is 2.7 mV). Upon integration with the electrophysiology, GRP2.0 records a robust DA release, accompanied by a burst of neural firing, during the optical stimulation. This study paves a new avenue to stable neurochemical sensing in vivo.
Tinnitus is a widespread and serious clinical and social problem. Although oxidative injury has been suggested to be one of pathological mechanisms in auditory cortex, whether this mechanism could be applied to inferior colliculus remains unclear. In this study, we used an online electrochemical system (OECS) integrating in vivo microdialysis with selective electrochemical detector to continuously monitor the dynamics of ascorbate efflux, an index of oxidative injury, in inferior colliculus of living rats during sodium salicylate-induced tinnitus. We found that OECS with a carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-modified electrode as the detector selectively responses to ascorbate, which is free from the interference from sodium salicylate and MK-801 that were used to induce tinnitus animal model and investigate the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor mediated excitotoxicity, respectively. With the OECS, we found that the extracellular ascorbate level in inferior colliculus significantly increases after salicylate administration and such increase was suppressed by immediate injection of NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801. In addition, we found that salicylate administration significantly increases the spontaneous and sound stimuli evoked neural activity in inferior colliculus and that the increases were inhibited by the injection of MK-801. These results suggest that oxidative injury may occur in inferior colliculus following salicylate-induced tinnitus, which is closely relevant to the NMDA-mediated neuronal excitotoxicity. This information is useful for understanding the neurochemical processes in inferior colliculus involved in tinnitus and its related brain diseases.

The emergence of resistant Aspergillus spp. is increasing worldwide. Long-term susceptibility surveillance for clinically isolated Aspergillus spp. strains is warranted for understanding the dynamic change in susceptibility and monitoring the emergence of resistance. Additionally, neither clinical breakpoints (CBPs) nor epidemiological cutoff values (ECVs) for Aspergillus spp. in China have been established. In this study, we performed a 20-year antifungal susceptibility surveillance for 706 isolates of Aspergillus spp. in a clinical laboratory at Peking University First Hospital from 1999 to 2019; and in vitro antifungal susceptibility to triazoles, caspofungin, and amphotericin B was determined by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution method. It was observed that Aspergillus fumigatus was the most common species, followed by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus terreus. Forty isolates (5.7%), including A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. terreus, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus nidulans, were classified as non-wild type (non-WT). Importantly, multidrug resistance was observed among A. flavus, A. terreus, and A. niger isolates. Cyp51A mutations were characterized for 19 non-WT A. fumigatus isolates, and TR34/L98H/S297T/F495I was the most prevalent mutation during the 20-year surveillance period. The overall resistance trend of A. fumigatus increased over 20 years in China. Furthermore, based on ECV establishment principles, proposed ECVs for A. fumigatus and A. flavus were established using gathered minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)/minimum effective concentration (MEC) data. Consequently, all the proposed ECVs were identical to the CLSI ECVs, with the exception of itraconazole against A. flavus, resulting in a decrease in the non-WT rate from 6.0 to 0.6%.

Cytotoxic edema is the initial and most important step in the sequence that almost inevitably leads to brain damage. Exploring the neurochemical disturbances in this process is of great significance in providing a measurable biological parameter for signaling specific pathological conditions. Here, we present an electrochemical system that pinpoints a critical neurochemical involved in cytotoxic edema. Specially, we report a molecularly tailored brain-implantable ascorbate sensor (CFEAA2.0) featuring excellent selectivity and spatiotemporal resolution that assists the first observation of release of ascorbate induced by cytotoxic edema in vivo. Importantly, we reveal that this release is associated with an increase in the amount of cytotoxic edema-inducing agent and that blockage of cytotoxic edema abolishes ascorbate release, further supporting that ascorbate efflux is cytotoxic edema-dependent. Our study holds the promise for understanding the molecular basis of cytotoxic edema that can lead to the discovery of biomarkers or potential therapeutic strategies of brain diseases.

Neuronal communication relies on cooperation between the chemical and electrical patterns of neurons. Thus, techniques for illustrating the linkage of the neurochemical events and action potentials with high temporal and spatial resolution is imperative to gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of brain function. Herein, we integrate galvanic redox potentiometry (GRP) and electrophysiological recording onto a 16-site Au microelectrode array (MEA), one of which is for indicating the ascorbate concentration while the others for single-unit activity assessment. The electrochemical probing site was modified with single-walled carbon nanotubes to promote electron-transfer kinetics of ascorbate at low overpotential so as to enlarge the driving force for the spontaneous ascorbate/O-2 cell reaction. The resulting GRP-based MEA outputs open-circuit potential that is in a linear relationship with the logarithmic ascorbate concentration and exhibits high selectivity against a set of coexisting electroactive species. Furthermore, no reciprocal interference between the two recording systems is observed during concurrent GRP sensing of ascorbate and single-unit recording in a rat brain. In vivo feasibility of the GRP-based MEA is demonstrated by synchronous real-time measurement of ascorbate release and electrical activity from multiple neuronal populations during spreading depression. Our GRP-based MEA sensor creates new opportunities to realize high-throughput screening or mapping of neurochemical patterns in a larger dimension and correlate them to neuron functions across a spatial scale.
Probing chemical information in the central nervous system is essential for understanding the molecular mechanism of brain function. Electrochemistry with tissue-implantable carbon fiber electrodes (CFEs) provides a powerful tool for monitoring the dynamics of neurochemicals in a subsecond time scale; however, the implantation of CFEs into brain tissue immediately causes the nonspecific adsorption of proteins on electrode surfaces. This process can dramatically impact the performance of the electrochemical method in terms of reduced sensitivity and accuracy. Herein, we report a strategy to minimize the electrode biofouling by masking CFEs with leukocyte membranes (LMs). We find that the LM masking endows CFEs with a highly hydrophilic surface that gains a high resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption. The electrode reactivity to target molecules decreases by a small degree due to the membrane coating, but the sensitivity loss of the LM-masked CFEs is greatly lessened even after in vivo implantation for 8 h. This study offers a new method of microelectrode modification by natural cell membranes for sustained sensing performance during long-term in vivo analysis.
