The accurate detection of multiplex collagen biomarkers is vital for diagnosing and treating various critical diseases such as tumors and fibrosis. Despite the attractive optical properties of quantum dots (QDs), it remains technically challenging to create stable and specific QDs-based probes for multiplex biological imaging. We report for the first time the construction of multi-color QDs-based peptide probes for the simultaneous fingerprinting of multiplex collagen biomarkers in connective tissues. A bipeptide system composed of a glutathione (GSH) host peptide and a collagen-targeting guest peptide (CTP) has been developed, yielding CTP-QDs probes that exhibit exceptional luminescence stability when exposed to ultraviolet irradiation and mildly acidic conditions. The versatile bipeptide system allows for facile one-pot synthesis of high-quality multicolor CTP-QDs probes, exhibiting superior selectivity in targeting critical collagen biomarkers including denatured collagen, type I collagen, type II collagen, and type IV collagen. The multicolor CTP-QDs probes have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in simultaneously fingerprinting multiple collagen types in diverse connective tissues, irrespective of their status, whether affected by injury, diseases, or undergoing remodeling processes. The innovative multicolor CTP-QDs probes offer a robust toolkit for the multiplex fingerprinting of the collagen suprafamily, demonstrating significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of collagen-related diseases. |
