• 摘要：Developing precise tumor cell-specific mitochondrial ferroptosis-related inhibition miRNA imaging methods holds enormous potential for anticancer drug screening and cancer treatment. Nevertheless, traditional amplification methods still tolerated the limited tumor specificity because of the "off-tumor" signal leakage resulting from their "always-active" sensing mode. To overcome this limitation, we herein developed a dual (exogenous 808 nm NIR light and endogenous APE1) activated nanoladder for precise imaging of mitochondrial ferroptosis-related miRNA with tumor cell specificity and improved imaging resolution. Exogenous NIR light-activation can regulate the ferroptosis-related inhibition miRNA imaging signals within mitochondria, and endogenous enzyme-activation can confine signals to tumor cells. Based on this dual activation design, off-tumor signals were greatly reduced and tumor-to-background contrast was enhanced with an improved tumor/normal discrimination ratio, realizing tumor cell-specific precise imaging of mitochondrial ferroptosis-related inhibition miRNA.
