The in vivo fate is a crucial factor that governs the successful translation of nanoformulations. However, one of the current biggest challenges is with the real-time monitoring of the body of the nanoparticles themselves. Conventional radioactive or fluorescent probes give signals even after they are disassociated from the particle matrix, generating interference to bioimaging and leading to misjudgment of results. Environment-responsive fluorescent dyes are regarded as promising tools due to signal switching in response to the changes in the environment. Currently, there are three categories of dyes in bioimaging of nanoparticles based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). They have similar characteristics that strong fluorescence is emitted when they are embedded in the matrix of nanocarriers, whereas the fluorescence quenches upon release from the matrix due to dissociation of nanocarriers. The fluorescence switching reflects the existing status of the nanocarriers and therefore helps to interpret the in vivo behaviors. FRET and AIE probes have been widely used in elucidating the interactions between nanoparticles and cell models. However, they show intrinsic defects in studying in vivo fate of nanoparticles. ACQ-based dyes are sensitive to water, a universal factor in the biological environment. Therefore, with the help of bioimaging equipment, the in vivo trafficking process of nanoparticles can be unraveled. This review article tends to provide an overview on the rationale, pros and cons and applications of the three categories of environment-responsive fluorescent dyes in the investigation of the in vivo fate of nanocarriers.
