Azido-modified D-alanine for click chemistry labeling

磺酸基-DBCO-ICG与3-叠氮-d-丙氨酸/D-AzAla标记细菌的结合特性表征[1]
通过将磺酸基-DBCO-ICG与3-azido-d-alanine/d-AzAla标记细菌进行共价偶联，我们采用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜(CLSM)、流式细胞术等实验验证了磺酸基-DBCO-ICG在3-叠氮-d-丙氨酸/d-AzAla标记细菌表面的有效包被。如图2A所示，CLSM检测到磺酸基-DBCO-ICG-细菌复合物具有ICG荧光信号。流式细胞术分析进一步证实该结果，与未标记ICG的空白细菌组（无ICG荧光）相比，磺酸基-DBCO-ICG-细菌组显示出强ICG荧光信号（图2B）。紫外-可见吸收光谱显示（图2C），d-AzAla标记细菌表面包被的磺酸基-DBCO-ICG吸收峰从779nm红移至795nm，这主要归因于磺酸基-DBCO-ICG与细菌表面叠氮基团的相互作用。
ICG在808nm近红外光照射下可产热导致细菌光热裂解。在808nm激光照射下，空白细菌组温度仅升至26.7°C，而ICG-细菌组90秒内最高温度达57.2°C（图2D）。通过ATP检测仪验证发现（图2E），近红外照射后，d-AzAla标记的ICG-细菌组释放大量ATP，而其他组因缺乏ICG介导的光热效应仅释放微量ATP。透射电镜(TEM)和扫描电镜(SEM)观察显示（图2F-G）：经808nm照射后，磺酸基-DBCO-ICG-细菌组(b)发生明显形态改变和裂解；而未偶联DBCO-ICG的细菌组(a)无论是否接受照射均保持完整形态，间接证明单纯808nm红外激光对细菌形态影响极微。上述结果共同表明：磺酸基-DBCO-ICG能有效包被d-AzAla标记细菌，并在808nm近红外光照射下通过产热作用裂解释放ATP。

靶向能力评估通过体内成像实验进行验证。在靶向验证实验中，采用四组处理MRSA感染的小鼠伤口：PBS组、游离ICG+3-叠氮-d-丙氨酸/d-AzAla组、DBCO-ICG组、以及DBCO-ICG+d-AzAla组。静脉注射不同ICG制剂后0.5、3和6小时，使用动物活体成像仪观察各组靶向效果。如图5D-E所示，在各时间点DBCO-ICG+d-AzAla组在MRSA感染皮肤的荧光分布强度均显著高于游离ICG+d-AzAla组，其中3小时时间点的荧光强度达到峰值(**p=0.0036)。同时发现游离ICG不仅缺乏靶向性且代谢迅速（与文献Lim等2014年报道一致），而DBCO-ICG在给药6小时后仍能在感染伤口周围检测到荧光，表明DBCO基团的引入不仅使ICG能与d-AzAla发生点击化学反应，还延长了ICG的体内代谢时间。
给药3小时后对MRSA感染模型进行近红外照射，检测产热效果。如图5F所示，DBCO-ICG+d-AzAla组经180秒照射后，小鼠背部感染皮肤温度可达46°C（该温度可有效裂解细菌，参见Yang等2019和Shen等2020研究），而其他组仅升温至38°C左右。上述结果证实DBCO-ICG能精准靶向MRSA感染伤口，并在808nm近红外照射下达到杀菌温度。

体内抗菌与生物相容性[1]
在验证靶向性和光热效应后，我们评估了DBCO-ICG对MRSA感染伤口的治疗效果。小鼠背部创面分别采用PBS+NIR、DBCO-ICG(D-ICG)+NIR、游离ICG+3-叠氮-d-丙氨酸(F-ICG+d)+NIR、DBCO-ICG+d-3-azido-d-alanine/AzAla(D-ICG+d)+NIR处理（造模流程见图6A）。通过两周后伤口愈合情况和细菌载量评价疗效。
如图6B-C所示，虽然各组伤口均出现愈合，但D-ICG+d治疗组的瘢痕面积显著小于其他组，表明该组能显著加速伤口愈合并具有最佳杀菌效果。F-ICG+d组与D-ICG组的治疗效果无显著差异，且均逊于D-ICG+d组，说明游离ICG缺乏体内靶向性，无法与细菌表面氨基酸发生叠氮反应；单独DBCO-ICG的抗菌效果也有限。只有通过无铜点击化学反应使DBCO-ICG与d-AzAla修饰的细菌结合，才能实现ICG包被细菌的荧光双检测和光热抗菌治疗(PTAT)。
第14天采用平板稀释法检测伤口组织细菌载量（图6D-E），D-ICG+d组能清除约95%的MRSA(***p<0.001)。H&E染色显示（图6F），其他组可见大量炎症细胞（中性粒细胞，红色箭头），而D-ICG+d组的炎症细胞极少，与正常皮肤组织相似，证实该组具有优异的抗菌和促愈合能力。
通过主要器官H&E染色评估系统性生物安全性（附图S3），与PBS组相比，各给药组均未观察到明显组织损伤或形态学改变，表明DBCO-ICG无显著生物毒性。上述结果证明DBCO-ICG在MRSA感染模型中具有高效抗菌作用且未诱发明显毒副作用。

Establishment of MRSA-Infected Mouse Models [1]
On day 4 before the infection, the mice were administered one dose of CTX. 150 mg CTX per kg mouse body weight (150 mg kg−1) was injected i. p. This treatment fostered a more vulnerable environment in the mice to infection. The mice were anesthetized using a standard anesthesia procedure, and then the dorsal region of the mice was shaved to prepare for surgery. Then one round wound of 80 mm in diameter was made using a puncher on the left back of mice weighing 30–40 g with 5 ICR male mice in each group. After 6 h, 50 μl of MRSA (1 × 108 CFU ml−1) was slowly added to each wound.

In Vivo Antimicrobial Assay [1]
After the establishment of MRSA-infected mouse models, the infection sites were treated with drugs and the same volume of PBS via the tail vein. PTAT treatment was conducted by irradiating the infection sites with laser irradiation (808 nm, 1.0 W cm−2) for 180 s. The infection sites were treated with PTAT solutions every 2 days. The regeneration process of wounds was studied through wound area monitoring and histomorphological determination. In wound size measurement, the mice in each group were anesthetized, and the wound size was determined by tracing the boundaries of wounds on days 3, 7, 11, and 14. For histomorphological evaluation, wound tissue of day 14 was collected for biochemical analysis. The samples were made into 0.5 cm2 square shape and immersed in standard formalin solution. Then tissue samples were conducted with H&E staining and prepared into a wax section for observation.

Bacterial infection is one of the most serious physiological conditions threatening human health. There is an increasing demand for more effective bacterial diagnosis and treatment through non-invasive approaches. Among current antibacterial strategies of non-invasive approaches, photothermal antibacterial therapy (PTAT) has pronounced advantages with properties of minor damage to normal tissue and little chance to trigger antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, we developed a fast and simple strategy that integrated the sensitive detection and photothermal therapy of bacteria by measuring adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence following targeted photothermal lysis. First, 3-azido-d-alanine (d-AzAla) is selectively integrated into the cell walls of bacteria, photosensitizer dibenzocyclooctyne, and double sulfonic acid-modified indocyanine green (sulfo-DBCO-ICG) are subsequently designed to react with the modified bacteria through in vivo click chemistry. Next, the sulfo-DBCO-ICG modified bacteria under irradiation of 808 nm near-infrared laser was immediately detected by ATP bioluminescence following targeted photothermal lysis and even the number of bacteria on the infected tissue can be significantly reduced through PTAT. This method has demonstrated the ability to detect the presence of the bacteria for ATP value in 32 clinical samples. As a result, the ATP value over of 100 confirmed the presence of bacteria in clinical samples for 22 patients undergoing craniotomy and ten otitis media patients. Overall, this study paves a brand new avenue to facile diagnosis and a treatment platform for clinical bacterial infections.[1]

In summary, our study developed a simultaneous detection and antibacterial platform for bacterial infection. It is a fast and simple strategy for the sensitive detection of bacteria by measuring ATP bioluminescence following targeted photothermal lysis. Sulfo-DBCO-ICG reacted with 3-azido-d-alanine/d-AzAla modified bacteria by copper-free click chemistry to complete a precise and rapid target. The sulfo-DBCO-ICG effectively coated on d-AzAla-bacteria and could produce heat to crack bacteria for releasing ATP below 808 nm NIR irradiation in vitro. The sulfo-DBCO-ICG could rapidly detect intracranial infections in patients after neurosurgery through ATP detection and flow cytometry. The sulfo-DBCO-ICG has targeting ability, good antibacterial effect, and biocompatibility in the MRSA-infected model. This method is faster than the clinical microbiological culture process, does not cause any drug-resistance as caused by antibiotics, and is not toxic/harmful to healthy cells. It may provide a good idea for the clinical rapid detection of bacteria.[1]
