Preparation of BA/Res@NP-PBP and schematic diagram of targeted delivery of BA/Res@NP-PBP to the inflamed colon. BA and Res were encapsulated into the PLGA core and connected with PLGA-PEG-Mal and PBP. DiL and DiD were co-incorporated in the NPs. Neutrophils and macrophages in inflammatory sites highly expressed MPO, which could combine with luminol to generate blue light. This wavelength could be lengthened and red-shifted to 670 nm through BRET-FRET effect between DiL/DiD-loaded BA/Res@NP-PBP NPs and luminol. The schematic diagram showed an MPO-dependent inflammation imaging via the BRET-FRET effect and a synergistic therapeutic effect between BA and Res for UC
