Talanta 2024; 266:125012. [PMID: 37542849 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023]
Abstract
Boronic Acid Sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability are of great importance for tumor diagnosis. Herein, we proposed a novel electrochemical and fluorescent dual-sensing strategy to detect carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA). To this end, monodisperse spindle-like magnetic copper silicate (FeOx@C@CS) was prepared with multiple active sites to immobilize the CEA antibody. Moreover, magnetic properties improved the anti-interference ability and sensitivity to endow the assay for complex samples. In addition, boronic acid-conjugated gold nanocluster (AuNCs@keratin-BA) was prepared as an electrochemical and fluorescent dual-signal indicator. Thus, the sandwich structure of FeOx@C@CS/CEA/AuNCs@keratin-BA was formed for electrochemical/fluorescent dual-modality assay. Under optimal conditions, the quantitation range of 12.5 fg mL-1-37.5 pg mL-1 and detection limit of 4.3 fg mL-1 were obtained for the electrochemical strategy. The fluorescence detection owned the linear range of 0.05 pg mL-1-7.5 pg mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.025 pg mL-1. Dual-modality assay improved the accuracy and efficiency of CEA detection to meet the requirement of tumor diagnosis, while chemical identification and signal transduction lay an important foundation for engineering advanced nanomaterials for clinical applications.

Abstract
Despite the fact that human neural cell models have played significant roles in both research and cell replacement therapies for neurological diseases, the existing techniques for obtaining neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are arduous and intricate. Additionally, the evaluation of neuron quality in the natural environment remains deficient. Consequently, we have developed a comprehensive platform utilizing magnetic-field-directed self-assembly (MDSA) of MXenes@Fe3O4 (M/F) nanocomposites. This platform facilitates the cultivation and in situ analysis of differentiated dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Our results showed that the introduction of M/F enhances neurite outgrowth and leads to the development of more intricate ramifications. Moreover, with the increase of magnetic field intensity, neurite outgrowth is further enhanced, and the proportion of differentiated mature neurons from hPSCs increases. This suggests that our platform promotes the maturation of neurons, emphasizing the crucial role of biophysical cues in expediting the differentiation process. The homogenization platform formed by MDSA of M/F nanocomposites exhibits high conductivity, leading to its exceptional performance in the real-time monitoring of the release of dopamine neurotransmitter from hPSC-derived DA neurons. Hence, this platform demonstrates significant potential for monitoring cell quality. In conclusion, our integrated platform, based on MDSA of M/F nanocomposites, offers a reliable and efficient means for the in vitro generation of human neurons with a controllable quality. The as-prepared platform holds potential for enhancing neuronal maturation and ensuring consistent cell quality, showing significant implications for in vitro biological research, disease modeling, and cell replacement therapy.

Abstract
A novel magnetic nanozyme Fe3O4@MXene-Au nanocomposite, which possessed higher peroxidase-like activity than that of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Fe3O4@MXene nanocomposites, was developed. The outstanding magnetic properties of the nanozyme endowed it with the ability of simple and rapid separation, achieving great recyclability. Based on Fe3O4@MXene-Au nanocomposites and glucose oxidase (Glu Ox), a highly selective colorimetric biosensor for glucose detection was developed. Fe3O4@MXene-Au nanocomposites can catalyze H2O2 produced from glucose catalyzed by glucose oxidase to ·OH and oxidize colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB) with a significant absorbance at 652 nm. The linear range of glucose was 0-1.4 mM under optimal conditions, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.11 mM. Glucose in human whole blood was successfully detected with satisfactory recoveries. Furthermore, a facile agarose hydrogel detection platform was designed. With smartphone software, glucose detection can be realized by the agarose hydrogel platform, demonstrating the potential in on-site and visual detection of glucose.

Abstract
AbstractSensitive and reliable determination of thrombin is relevant in the realms of medical and biological research as it serves as an essential biomarker of a number of blood-related illnesses. Herein, we integrate allosteric probe-based specific identification of thrombin and dual signal amplification to present an unique fluorescent technique for label-free and sensitive thrombin detection. Based on DNA polymerase and endonuclease-assisted signal amplification, the method exhibits a high sensitivity with a low limit of detection of 2.3 pM, while maintaining an excellent selectivity and stability. More importantly, the approach is successfully applied in analyzing the effect of nalbuphine on coagulation function of mice. Overall, this approach possesses the advantages of high specificity and sensitivity in label-free detection of thrombin, which is promising in the diagnosis of blood-related diseases.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors generally require the immobilization of recognition elements or capture probes on the electrode surface. This may limit their practical applications due to the complex operation procedure and low repeatability and stability. Magnetically assisted biosensors show remarkable advantages in separation and pre-concentration of targets from complex biological samples. More importantly, magnetically assisted sensing systems show high throughput since the magnetic materials can be produced and preserved on a large scale. In this work, we summarized the design of electrochemical biosensors involving magnetic materials as the platforms for recognition reaction and target conversion. The recognition reactions usually include antigen-antibody, DNA hybridization, and aptamer-target interactions. By conjugating an electroactive probe to biomolecules attached to magnetic materials, the complexes can be accumulated near to an electrode surface with the aid of external magnet field, producing an easily measurable redox current. The redox current can be further enhanced by enzymes, nanomaterials, DNA assemblies, and thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification. In magnetically assisted assays, the magnetic substrates are removed by a magnet after the target conversion, and the signal can be monitored through stimuli-response release of signal reporters, enzymatic production of electroactive species, or target-induced generation of messenger DNA.

Abstract
Recently, electrochemistry- and photoelectrochemistry-based biosensors have been regarded as powerful tools for trace monitoring of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) due to the fact of their intrinsic advantages (e.g., high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, small background, and low cost), which play an important role in early cancer screening and diagnosis and benefit people's increasing demands for medical and health services. Thus, this mini-review will introduce the current trends in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors for CEA assay and classify them into two main categories according to the interactions between target and biorecognition elements: immunosensors and aptasensors. Some recent illustrative examples are summarized for interested readers, accompanied by simple descriptions of the related signaling strategies, advanced materials, and detection modes. Finally, the development prospects and challenges of future electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors are considered.

Food Chem 2021; 366:130648.

Abstract
A novel label-free fluorescence aptasensor was established for chloramphenicol (CAP) detection by DNA four-arm junction-assisted target recycling and SYBR Green I dye-aided fluorescence-signal amplification. The CAP aptamer was hybridized to its complementary strand (primer) to form a double-stranded primer/aptamer complex. In the presence of CAP, aptamers can specifically bind with CAP to dissociate primers, which can trigger the self-assembly of four hairpins to continuously generate DNA four-arm junctions. After digesting the excess hairpins using T7 exonuclease, SYBR Green I was inserted into the base pair-rich DNA four-arm junctions, which led to a significant increase in fluorescence intensity. Under optimal conditions, the developed aptasensor can detect CAP in a linear range of 1.0 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.72 pg mL-1. The recovery rates in milk and honey ranged from 90.3% to 106.6%. Thus, the method shows substantial potential for CAP detection in food products.

Abstract
Herein, a hierarchically porous Zr-MOF-labeled electrochemical aptasensor based on the composite of PtPd@Ni-Co hollow nanoboxes (PtPd@Ni-Co HNBs) and poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-functionalized graphene (PDDA-Gr) was developed for ultrasensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP). PtPd@Ni-Co HNBs have excellent conductivity and provide binding sites for aptamers; the functionalized PDDA-Gr improves its dispersibility and conductivity as a substrate material, which can be successfully used to increase the electrode surface area and support more PtPd@Ni-CoHNBs. Besides, hierarchically porous Zr-MOFs (HP-UiO-66) were utilized as signal probes and showed a stronger load capacity for signal molecules than conventional UiO-66. In the presence of CAP, two ingeniously designed Exo III-assisted cyclic amplification strategies further improved the sensitivity of the aptasensor: CAP causes cycle I to release a large amount of trigger DNA (Tr DNA), and then, Tr DNA initiated cycle II, which causes the exposed capture DNA to further bind the signal probes. With these advantages, the constructed aptasensors performed with satisfactory sensitivity in a wide linear range (10 fM-10 nM) and a detection limit of 0.985 fM. Several signal amplification strategies adopted in this study have effectively improved the performance of the sensor, providing a new avenue for the development of ultrasensitive sensors in the food analysis field.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) received great attention in cancer therapy due to the advantages of negligible drug resistance, low side effects, and minimal invasiveness. Development of theranostic nanoprobes with specific imaging-guided PDT is of great significance in the field. Herein we report the fabrication of a novel theranostic nanoprobe porphyrin/G-quadruplex conjugated gold/persistent luminescence nanocomposites for imaging-guided PDT. The developed nanoprobe contains NIR-emitting persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNP) as the core for autofluorescence-free bioimaging and Au coating on PLNP for facile subsequent DNA conjugation. The DNA sequence is designed to contain G-rich AS1411 aptamer for recognizing the over-expressed cellular nucleolin of cancer cell and forming a G-quadruplex structure to combine with tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) to realize PDT. The AS1411 aptamer-contained DNA conjugated Au-coated PLNP is rapidly prepared via a freezing method with high content of DNA and good aqueous stability. Meanwhile, TCPP is easily loaded into the G-quadruplex structure formed from G-rich AS1411 aptamer on the surface of Au/PLNP in presence of K+. The theranostic nanoprobe gives integrated merits of PLNP for autofluorescence-free bioimging, TCPP for PDT and AS1411 aptamer-contained DNA for specific binding to cancer cells. This work provides a new specially designed imaging-guided PDT nanoplatform for theranostics.

Abstract
With the rise in public health awareness, research on point-of-care testing (POCT) has significantly advanced. Electrochemical biosensors (ECBs) are one of the most promising candidates for the future of POCT due to their quick and accurate response, ease of operation, and cost effectiveness. This review focuses on the use of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) for fabricating ECBs that has a potential to be used for POCT. The field has expanded remarkably from its initial enzymatic and immunosensor-based setups. This review provides a concise categorization of the ECBs to allow for a better understanding of the development process. The influence of structural aspects of MNPs in biocompatibility and effective sensor design has been explored. The advances in MNP-based ECBs for the detection of some of the most prominent cancer biomarkers (carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), Herceptin-2 (HER2), etc.) and small biomolecules (glucose, dopamine, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) have been discussed in detail. Additionally, the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) ECBs have been briefly discussed. Beyond that, the limitations and challenges that ECBs face in clinical applications are examined and possible pathways for overcoming these limitations are discussed.
