Proteases are known as extremely important signaling molecules and the deregulation of specific protease activities can ultimately lead to severe pathologies, which include cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, inflammatory disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.[1] Therefore, identifying the role of a specific protease in a given biological process is crucial to promote new approaches for the prevention of diseases.[2] A system that enables the direct and simultaneous monitoring of multiple proteolytic activities in living organisms has great potential for elucidating complex protease signaling pathways, as well as testing the efficacy of drugs that target proteases.To date, a range of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based fluorogenic peptides that are comprised of a substrate combined with a dye/quencher pair have been developed to monitor proteolytic activities.[3] However, the conventional fluorogenic peptides are of limited use for examining protease signaling in a proteolytic cascade that is induced by multiple proteases, for example, the blood coagulation cascade.,[4] Furthermore, using a fluorogenic peptide for producing multicolored images of proteases would require a multistep synthesis and distinctive dye/quencher pair selections. The use of broad-spectrum quenchers [5] may be appropriate, but such molecules do not completely quench all of the available dyes, and are also inconvenient to synthesize. Moreover, to target intracellular proteases, sensors need to be further modified with cell-penetrating peptides or transfecting agents to be taken up into cells.[6] Recent advances in the field of activable sensors have enabled real-time imaging of various protease activities in vitro and in vivo.[7] However, no single sensor has been used for multiplexed imaging of intracellular proteases in living cells. Engineered fluorescent protein FRET pairs and luminescent proteins that are accompanied by a protease substrate have also been developed for real-time cellular imaging, but these strategies require genetically modified cells.[8]
