Abstract
Thrombosis leads to elevated mortality rates and substantial medical expenses worldwide. Human factor IXa (HFIXa) protease is pivotal in tissue factor (TF)-mediated thrombin generation, and represents a promising target for anticoagulant therapy. We herein isolated novel DNA aptamers that specifically bind to HFIXa through systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) method. We identified two distinct aptamers, seq 5 and seq 11, which demonstrated high binding affinity to HFIXa (Kd = 74.07 ± 2.53 nM, and 4.93 ± 0.15 nM, respectively). Computer software was used for conformational simulation and kinetic analysis of DNA aptamers and HFIXa binding. These aptamers dose-dependently prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in plasma. We further rationally optimized the aptamers by truncation and site-directed mutation, and generated the truncated forms (Seq 5-1t, Seq 11-1t) and truncated-mutated forms (Seq 5-2tm, Seq 11-2tm). They also showed good anticoagulant effects. The rationally and structurally designed antidotes (seq 5-2b and seq 11-2b) were competitively bound to the DNA aptamers and effectively reversed the anticoagulant effect. This strategy provides DNA aptamer drug-antidote pair with effective anticoagulation and rapid reversal, developing advanced therapies by safe, regulatable aptamer drug-antidote pair.

Electrochemical and quantum chemical approaches to the study of dopamine sensing using bentonite and l-cysteine modified carbon paste electrode. Talanta 2024; 276:126247. [PMID: 38759358 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
This work presents a significant investigation involving both electrochemical experiment and quantum chemical simulation approaches. The objective was to characterize the electrochemical detection of dopamine (DA). The detection was carried out using a modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) incorporating bentonite (Bent) and l-cysteine (CySH) (named as CySH/Bent/CPE). To understand and explain the oxidation mechanism of DA on the CySH/Bent modified electrode surface, the coupling of the two approaches were exploited. The CySH/Bent/CPE showed excellent electroactivity toward DA such as good sensibility, selectivity, stability, and regenerative ability. The developed sensor shows a dynamic linear range from 0.8 to 80 μM with a limit of detection and quantification of 0.5 μM and 1.5 μM, respectively. During the quantitative analysis of DA in presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) the electrochemical oxidation signals of AA, DA, and UA distinctly appear as three separate peaks. The potential differences between the peaks are 190 mv, 150 mv, and 340 mV for the AA-DA, DA-UA, and AA-UA oxidation pairs, respectively. These observations stem from square wave voltammetry (SWV) studies, along with the corresponding redox peak potential separations. The developed sensor is simple and accurate to monitor DA in human serum samples. On the other hand, CySH acts as an electrocatalyst on the CySH/Bent/CPE surface by increasing its active electron transfer sites, as suggested by the quantum chemical modeling with analytical results of Fukui. Furthermore, the voltammetric results obtained agree well with the theoretical calculations.

Abstract
A portable colorimetric aptasensor was developed on the surface of a plastic sheet for on-site detection of acrylamide. The mechanism of aptasensor is based on the disruption of the aptamer complex with its complementary strand on the sensing zone, and subsequently, the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the reduction process of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). A yellow-to-colorless change of the sample solution revealed the target presence, easily discernible by the naked eye. The acrylamide quantification was accomplished using the smartphone imaging readout technique. The aptasensor detected the acrylamide concentration in the range of 0.01-500 nmol L-1 with a detection limit of 0.0024 nmol L-1. Coffee, potato chips, bread, and lake water samples were successfully analyzed by the aptasensor for their acrylamide content. The introduced aptasensor can pave a facile, cost-effective, portable, and user-friendly sensing tool for food safety control and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Aptamers are short oligonucleotides designed to possess high binding affinity towards specific target compounds (ions, molecules, or cells). Due to their function and unique advantages, aptamers are considered viable alternatives to antibodies as biorecognition elements in bioassays and biosensors. On the other hand, paper-based devices (PADs) have emerged as a promising and powerful technology for the fabrication of low-cost analytical tools, mainly intended for on-site and point-of-care applications. The present work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of paper-based aptasensors. The review describes the fabrication methods and working principles of paper-based devices, the properties of aptamers as bioreceptors, the different modes of detection used in conjunction with aptasensing PADs, and representative applications for the detection of ions, small molecules, proteins, and cells. The future challenges and prospects of these devices are also discussed.

Abstract
New technologies have provided suitable tools for rapid diagnosis of cancer which can reduce treatment costs and even increase patients' survival rates. Recently, the development of electrochemical aptamer-based nanobiosensors has raised great hopes for early, sensitive, selective, and low-cost cancer diagnosis. Here, we reviewed the flagged recent research (2021-2023) developed as a series of biosensors equipped with nanomaterials and aptamer sequences (nanoaptasensors) to diagnose/prognosis of various types of cancers. Equipping these aptasensors with nanomaterials and using advanced biomolecular technologies have provided specified biosensing interfaces for more optimal and reliable detection of cancer biomarkers. The primary intention of this review was to present and categorize the latest innovations used in the design of these diagnostic tools, including the hottest surface modifications and assembly of sensing bioplatforms considering diagnostic mechanisms. The main classification is based on applying various nanomaterials and sub-classifications considered based on the type of analyte and other vital features. This review may help design subsequent electrochemical aptasensors. Likewise, the up-to-date status, remaining limitations, and possible paths for translating aptasensors to clinical cancer assay tools can be clarified.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a cardiovascular disease defined by several symptoms that occur when the heart cannot supply the blood needed by the tissues. HF, which affects approximately 64 million people worldwide and whose incidence and prevalence are increasing, has an important place in terms of public health and healthcare costs. Therefore, developing and enhancing diagnostic and prognostic sensors is an urgent need. Using various biomarkers for this purpose is a significant breakthrough. It is possible to classify the biomarkers used in HF: associated with myocardial and vascular stretch (B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal proBNP and troponin), related to neurohormonal pathways (aldosterone and plasma renin activity), and associated with myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 and galactin 3). There is an increasing demand for the design of fast, portable, and low-cost biosensing devices for the biomarkers related to HF. Biosensors play a significant role in early diagnosis as an alternative to time-consuming and expensive laboratory analysis. In this review, the most influential and novel biosensor applications for acute and chronic HF will be discussed in detail. These studies will be evaluated in terms of advantages, disadvantages, sensitivity, applicability, user-friendliness, etc.

Abstract
In this study, using pure and copper-doped titanium dioxide (Cu-TiO2) nanostructures as the base matrix, enzyme-less label free myoglobin detection to identify acute myocardial infarction was performed and presented. The Cu-TiO2 nanomaterials were prepared using facile sol-gel method. In order to comprehend the morphologies, compositions, structural, optical, and electrochemical characteristics, the pure and Cu-TiO2 nanomaterials were investigated by several techniques which clearly revealed good crystallinity and high purity. To fabricate the enzyme-less label free biosensor, thick films of synthesized nanomaterials were applied to the surface of a pre-fabricated gold screen-printed electrode (Au-SPE), which serves as a working electrode to construct the myoglobin (Mb) biosensors. The interference study of the fabricated biosensor was also carried out with human serum albumin (HSA) and cytochrome c (cyt-c). Interestingly, the Cu-doped TiO2 nanomaterial-based Mb biosensor displayed a higher sensitivity of 61.51 µAcm-2/nM and a lower detection limit of 14 pM with a response time of less than 10 ms.

Abstract
In this work, considering the current status of conservative and complicated traditional thrombosis treatment methods, a kind of flexible intelligent probe (FIP) with a top-driven sensing strategy is proposed to realize the expected function of thrombosis accurate localization in a liquid flow environment. After throughput fabrication, we find that the FIP has excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. Notable, our FIP with the principle of piezo-resistive sensing has a quasi-linear sensitivity (approx. 0.325 L per minute) to flow sensing in the low flow velocity range (0-1 L per minute). Via the well-designed magnetically driven method, our FIP has a maximum deflection output force of 443.264 mN, a maximum deflection angle of 43°, and a maximum axial force of 54.176 mN. We demonstrate that the FIP is capable of completing the specified command actions relatively accurately and has a good response to real-time sensing feedback performance, which has broad application prospects in thrombus localization detection.

Abstract
Signal amplification is commonly used to enhance the sensitivity of biological analysis. Here, we present a strategy involving in vivo asymmetric self-assembly combined with promoter strength regulation to synthesize heterogeneous nanoparticles for signal amplification. Two expression vectors were constructed by genetically inserting, respectively, signal and binding molecules into the hepatitis B core antigen protein (HBcAg) structure. Because of differential expression of the two recombinant proteins in the presence of a strong promoter (T7) and a weak promoter (Tac-1) and spontaneous asymmetric self-assembly in vivo, heterogeneous HBcAg nanoparticles (NPs) with a high ratio of signal-bearing to target-binding molecules were obtained. These nanoparticles contained a large number of green fluorescent proteins as signal molecules and a small number of B1 immunoglobulin-binding domains from protein G for antibody binding, thus enabling sensitive immunoassays. As a proof of concept, improved sensitivity for antibody detection was achieved using the heterogeneous nanoparticle conjugated with a secondary antibody molecule.

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
The early diagnosis of diseases is of great importance for the effective treatment of patients. Biomarkers are one of the most promising medical approaches in the diagnosis of diseases and their progress and facilitate reaching this goal. Among the many methods developed in the detection of biomarkers, aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have shown great promise. Aptamers are promising diagnostic molecules with high sensitivity and selectivity, low-cost synthesis, easy modification, low toxicity, and high stability. Electrochemical aptasensors with high sensitivity and accuracy have attracted considerable attention in the field of biomarker detection. In this review, we will summarize recent advances in biomarker detection using electrochemical aptasensors. The principles of detection, sensitivity, selectivity, and other important factors in aptasensor performance are investigated. Finally, advantages and challenges of the developed aptasensors are discussed.

Yue F, Liu M, Bai M, Hu M, Li F, Guo Y, Vrublevsky I, Sun X. Novel Electrochemical Aptasensor Based on Ordered Mesoporous Carbon/2D Ti3C2 MXene as Nanocarrier for Simultaneous Detection of Aminoglycoside Antibiotics in Milk. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12080626. [PMID: 36005022 PMCID: PMC9405622 DOI: 10.3390/bios12080626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Herein, a novel electrochemical aptasensor using a broad-spectrum aptamer as a biorecognition element was constructed based on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for simultaneous detection of aminoglycoside antibiotics (AAs). The ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was firstly modified on 2D Ti3C2 MXene. The addition of OMC not only effectively improved the stability of the aptasensor, but also prevented the stacking of Ti3C2 sheets, which formed a good current passage for signal amplification. The prepared OMC@Ti3C2 MXene functioned as a nanocarrier to accommodate considerable aptamers. In the presence of AAs, the transport of electron charge on SPCE surface was influenced by the bio-chemical reactions of the aptamer and AAs, generating a significant decline in the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signals. The proposed aptasensor presented a wide linear range and the detection limit was 3.51 nM. Moreover, the aptasensor, with satisfactory stability, reproducibility and specificity, was successfully employed to detect the multi-residuals of AAs in milk. This work provided a novel strategy for monitoring AAs in milk.

Abstract
Clinical diagnostics for human diseases rely largely on enzyme immunoassays for the detection of blood biomarkers. Nevertheless, antibody-based test systems have a number of shortcomings that have stimulated a search for alternative diagnostic assays. Oligonucleotide aptamers are now considered as promising molecular recognizing elements for biosensors (aptasensors) due to their high affinity and specificity of target binding. At the moment, a huge variety of aptasensors have been engineered for the detection of various analytes, especially disease biomarkers. However, despite their great potential and excellent characteristics in model systems, only a few of these aptamer-based assays have been translated into practice as diagnostic kits. Here, we will review the current progress in the engineering of aptamer-based colorimetric assays as the most suitable format for clinical lab diagnostics. In particular, we will focus on aptasensors for the detection of blood biomarkers of cardiovascular, malignant, and neurodegenerative diseases along with common inflammation biomarkers. We will also analyze the main obstacles that have to be overcome before aptamer test systems can become tantamount to ELISA for clinical diagnosis purposes.

Abstract
The anisotropic gold nanotriangles (AuNTs) were synthesized by a fast seedless growth process. The high-yield monodispersed AuNT colloids were obtained through a purification process based on depletion-induced interactions. AuNTs were modulated with a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak of 638 nm wavelength coherent with the Raman excitation light. However, from finite element computation results, the AuNT clusters showed better performance for the 785 nm laser source due to a red shift in their LSPR properties, hence it was selected for the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay. A self-assembly strategy using a thiol group and ON-OFF strategy in the heat map was performed to ensure the stability of SERS immunoassay platform. The sandwich SERS immunoassay biosensor platform for adiponectin detection demonstrated a wide assay range (10-15-10-6 g/mL), good reliability (R2 = 0.994, clinically relevant range), femto-scale limit of detection (3.0 × 10-16 g/mL), and excellent selectivity without interference from other biomarkers. This showed the possibility of effectively detecting adiponectin levels in the biofluids of pregnant women. Therefore, our technology is the first to quantitatively detect adiponectin based on SERS technology for early detection of gestational diabetes mellitus and has the potential to be used as a clinical biosensor capable of diagnosing various obstetric diseases during early pregnancy.

Abstract
As a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, cardiovascular disease and its diagnosis, quantification, and stratification remain significant health issues. Increasingly, patients present with cardiovascular disease in the absence of known risk factors, suggesting the presence of yet unrecognized pathological processes and disease predispositions. Fortunately, a host of emerging cardiovascular biomarkers characterizing and quantifying ischaemic heart disease have shown great promise in both laboratory settings and clinical trials. These have demonstrated improved predictive value additional to widely accepted biomarkers as well as providing insight into molecular phenotypes beneath the broad umbrella of cardiovascular disease that may allow for further personalized treatment regimens. However, the process of translation into clinical practice – particularly navigating the legal and commercial landscape – poses a number of challenges. Practical and legal barriers to the biomarker translational pipeline must be further considered to develop strategies to bring novel biomarkers into the clinical sphere and apply these advances at the patient bedside. Here we review the progress of emerging biomarkers in the cardiovascular space, with particular focus on those relevant to the unmet needs in ischaemic heart disease.

Abstract
As non-biological molecules, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be made as antibody mimics for the development of luminescence sensors for various targets. The combination of MIPs with nanomaterials is further recognized as a useful option to improve the sensitivity of luminescence sensors. In this work, the recent progresses made in the fabrication of fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemiluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence sensors based on such combination have been reviewed with emphasis on the detection of pesticides/herbicides. Accordingly, the materials that are most feasible for the detection of such targets are recommended based on the MIP technologies.

Silicon Nanowires Length and Numbers Dependence on Sensitivity of the Field-Effect Transistor Sensor for Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen Detection. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12020115.

Abstract
Silicon nanowire field effect transistor (NWFET) sensors have been demonstrated to have high sensitivity, are label free, and offer specific detection. This study explored the effect of nanowire dimensions on sensors’ sensitivity. We used sidewall spacer etching to fabricate polycrystalline silicon NWFET sensors. This method does not require expensive nanoscale exposure systems and reduces fabrication costs. We designed transistor sensors with nanowires of various lengths and numbers. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was used as the sensing target to explore the relationships of nanowire length and number with biomolecule detection. The experimental results revealed that the sensor with a 3 µm nanowire exhibited high sensitivity in detecting low concentrations of HBsAg. However, the sensor reached saturation when the biomolecule concentration exceeded 800 fg/mL. Sensors with 1.6 and 5 µm nanowires exhibited favorable linear sensing ranges at concentrations from 800 ag/mL to 800 pg/mL. The results regarding the number of nanowires revealed that the use of few nanowires in transistor sensors increases sensitivity. The results demonstrate the effects of nanowire dimensions on the silicon NWFET biosensors.

Abstract
Viral infections are becoming the foremost driver of morbidity, mortality and economic loss all around the world. Treatment for diseases associated to some deadly viruses are challenging tasks, due to lack of infrastructure, finance and availability of rapid, accurate and easy-to-use detection methods or devices. The emergence of biosensors has proven to be a success in the field of diagnosis to overcome the challenges associated with traditional methods. Furthermore, the incorporation of aptamers as bio-recognition elements in the design of biosensors has paved a way towards rapid, cost-effective, and specific detection devices which are insensitive to changes in the environment. In the last decade, aptamers have emerged to be suitable and efficient biorecognition elements for the detection of different kinds of analytes, such as metal ions, small and macro molecules, and even cells. The signal generation in the detection process depends on different parameters; one such parameter is whether the labelled molecule is incorporated or not for monitoring the sensing process. Based on the labelling, biosensors are classified as label or label-free; both have their significant advantages and disadvantages. Here, we have primarily reviewed the advantages for using aptamers in the transduction system of sensing devices. Furthermore, the labelled and label-free opto-electrochemical aptasensors for the detection of various kinds of viruses have been discussed. Moreover, numerous globally developed aptasensors for the sensing of different types of viruses have been illustrated and explained in tabulated form.
