A review. In vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI), which is based on luminescence emitted by the luciferase-luciferin reaction, has enabled continuous monitoring of various biochem. processes in living animals. Bright luminescence with a high signal-to-background ratio, ideally red or near-IR light as the emission maximum, is necessary for in vivo animal experiments Various attempts have been undertaken to achieve this goal, including genetic engineering of luciferase, chem. modulation of luciferin, and utilization of bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). In this review, we overview a recent advance in the development of a bioluminescence system for in vivo BLI. We also specifically examine the improvement in bioluminescence intensity by mutagenic or chem. modulation on several beetle and marine luciferase bioluminescence systems. We further describe that intramol. BRET enhances luminescence emission, with recent attempts for the development of red-shifted bioluminescence system, showing great potency in in vivo BLI. Perspectives for future improvement of bioluminescence systems are discussed.
