Abstract
The development of sensors for detection of biomarkers exhibits an exciting potential in diagnosis of diseases. Herein, we propose a novel electrochemical sensing strategy for label-free dual-biomarker detection, which is based on the combination of stimulus-responsive molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-modified nanopores and a polymeric membrane chronopotentiometric sensor. The ion fluxes galvanostatically imposed on the sensing membrane surface can be blocked by the recognition reaction between the target biomarker in the sample solution and the stimulus-responsive MIP receptor in the nanopores, thus causing a potential change. By using two external stimuli (i.e., pH and temperature), the recognition abilities of the stimulus-responsive MIP receptor can be effectively modulated so that dual-biomarker label-free chronopotentiometric detection can be achieved. Using alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as model biomarkers, the proposed sensor offers detection limits of 0.17 and 0.42 ng/mL for AFP and PSA, respectively.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a novel resource of biomarkers for cancer and certain other diseases. Probing EVs in body fluids has become of major interest in the past decade in the development of a new-generation liquid biopsy for cancer diagnosis and monitoring. However, sensitive and specific molecular detection and analysis are challenging, due to the small size of EVs, low amount of antigens on individual EVs, and the complex biofluid matrix. Nanomaterials have been widely used in the technological development of protein and nucleic acid-based EV detection and analysis, owing to the unique structure and functional properties of materials at the nanometer scale. In this review, we summarize various nanomaterial-based analytical technologies for molecular EV detection and analysis. We discuss these technologies based on the major types of nanomaterials, including plasmonic, fluorescent, magnetic, organic, carbon-based, and certain other nanostructures. For each type of nanomaterial, functional properties are briefly described, followed by the applications of the nanomaterials for EV biomarker detection, profiling, and analysis in terms of detection mechanisms.

Abstract
To tackle cancer and provide prompt diagnoses and prognoses, the constantly evolving biosensing field is continuously on the lookout for novel markers that can be non-invasively analysed. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) may represent a promising biomarker that also works as a source of biomarkers. The augmented cellular activity of cancerous cells leads to the production of higher numbers of EVs, which can give direct information on the disease due to the presence of general and cancer-specific surface-tethered molecules. Moreover, the intravesicular space is enriched with other molecules that can considerably help in the early detection of neoplasia. Even though EV-targeted research has indubitably received broad attention lately, there still is a wide lack of practical and effective quantitative procedures due to difficulties in pre-analytical and analytical phases. This review aims at providing an exhaustive outline of the recent progress in EV detection using electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors, with a focus on handling approaches and trends in the selection of bioreceptors and molecular targets related to EVs that might guide researchers that are approaching such an unstandardised field.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can facilitate essential communication among cells in a range of pathophysiological conditions including cancer metastasis and progression, immune regulation, and neuronal communication. EVs are membrane-enclosed vesicles generated through endocytic origin and contain many cellular components, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolites. Over the past few years, the intravesicular content of EVs has proven to be a valuable biomarker for disease diagnostics, involving cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and central nervous system diseases. This review aims to provide insight into EV biogenesis, composition, function, and isolation, present a comprehensive overview of emerging techniques for EV cargo analysis, highlighting their major technical features and limitations, and summarize the potential role of EV cargos as biomarkers in disease diagnostics. Further, progress and remaining challenges will be discussed for clinical diagnostic outlooks.

Identification and ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical detection of LncNR_040117: a biomarker of recurrent miscarriage and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome in platelet-derived microparticles. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:396. [PMID: 36045427 PMCID: PMC9429728 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01608-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
The abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) is closely related to immune disorders and may lead to antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and recurrent miscarriage. To understand the association between the LncRNAs in PMPs and RM/APS, the differences in the expression of LncRNAs in RM/APS patients and healthy controls were analyzed. Microarray analysis and RT-qPCR detection proved that RM/APS patient exhibited high levels of LncNR_040117 expression. The lentiviral silent expression transfection of HTR-8/SVneo cells indicated that LncNR_040117 downregulation decreased the activity of HTR-8/SVneo cells and inhibited the MAPK signaling pathway, further confirming the biomarker proficiency of LncNR_040117 for RM/APS. After that, we proposed a β-In2S3@g-C3N4 nanoheterojunction-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor to achieve the ultrasensitive detection of LncNR_040117. The nanoheterojunction aids in the effective separation of photogenerated carriers and significantly improve the photocurrent response of the biosensor. The conjugation of LncNR_040117 onto the PEC biosensing platform increased the steric hindrance between electrolyte and electrode, subsequently decreasing the photocurrent signal. The PEC biosensor showed a wide detection range of 0.1-106 fM and a low limit of detection of 0.025 fM. For clinical sample testing, the results of the PEC and RT-qPCR were highly consistent. Overall, LncNR_040117 in PMPs was identified as an effective biomarker for RM/APS and could be accurately detected by the proposed PEC biosensor, which is expected to provide a reliable diagnostic platform for RM/APS.

Abstract
The photoanode, photosystem II (PSII)/hierarchical inverse opal (IO) TiO2, is coupled to the complementary photocathode, PbS quantum dots (QDs)/DNA probes, which is then integrated into a two-compartment photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell to achieve a self-powered system to enable photocathodic detection of microRNA-10b from HeLa cells. In such a system, all of the PSII catalytic products, i.e., electrons, protons, and O2, were rationally utilized and could overcome the general issue of varied O2 levels in photocathodic detection. The correlation between the target-triggered formation of the DNA complexes and the catalytic reduction of the dissolved O2 makes possible the steady microRNA-10b detection with good sensitivity and selectivity. This work has unveiled the ability of PSII to construct self-powered detecting devices and shed light on its application in new arenas.

Abstract
In this study, we have reported a one-step synthesis of a TiO2@MoS2 heterostructure. TiO2@MoS2 was synthesized using a facile and cost-effective method. The as-synthesized TiO2@MoS2 heterostructure was characterized by suitable spectroscopic techniques. The obtained TiO2@MoS2 was utilized as a supercapacitor electrode material. Electrochemical studies show that the TiO2@MoS2 heterostructure possesses a specific capacitance of 337 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g in an aqueous solution. Furthermore, an application as a photocatalyst for the photoreduction of toxic hexavalent chromium was reported for the first time. This heterostructure showed the photoreduction of Cr6+ to Cr3+ in 120 min with formic acid as a scavenger under direct sunlight. A plausible mechanism of photoreduction of Cr6+ to Cr3+ under natural sunlight irradiation using TiO2@MoS2 is proposed.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by many cell types and distributed within various biofluids. EVs have a lipid membrane-confined structure that allows for carrying unique molecular information originating from their parent cells. The species and quantity of EV cargo molecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites, may vary largely owing to their parent cell types and the pathophysiologic status. Such heterogeneity in EV populations provides immense challenges to researchers, yet allows for the possibility to prognosticate the pathogenesis of a particular tissue from unique molecular signatures of dispersing EVs within biofluids. However, the inherent nature of EV's small size requires advanced methods for EV purification and evaluation from the complex biofluid. Recently, the interdisciplinary significance of EV research has attracted growing interests, and the EV analytical platforms for their diagnostic prospect have markedly progressed. This review summarizes the recent advances in these EV detection techniques and methods with the intention of translating an EV-based liquid biopsy into clinical practice. This article aims to present an overview of current EV assessment techniques, with a focus on their progress and limitations, as well as an outlook on the clinical translation of an EV-based liquid biopsy that may augment current paradigms for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring the response to therapy in a variety of disease settings.

Abstract
Exosomes are cell-derived, nanosized extracellular vesicles for intercellular communication. Exosomal RNAs have been shown as one type of promising cancer liquid biopsy biomarkers. Conventional methods to characterize exosomal RNAs such as quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) are limited by low sensitivity, large sample consumption, time-consuming process, and high cost. Many technologies have been developed to overcome these challenges; however, many hours are still required to complete the assays, especially when exosome lysis and RNA extraction are required. We have developed a microfluidic cationic lipoplex nanoparticles (mCLN) assay that utilizes a micromixer biochip to allow for the effective capture of exosomes by cationic lipoplex nanoparticles and thus enables ultrafast and sensitive exosomal RNA detection for cancer diagnosis. The sensing performance and diagnostic performance of the mCLN assay were investigated using non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as the disease model and exosomal microRNA-21 and TTF-1 mRNA as the biomarkers. The limits of detection of the mCLN assay were 2.06 × 109 and 3.71 × 109 exosomes/mL for microRNA-21 and TTF-1 mRNA, respectively, indicating that the mCLN assay may require as low as 1 μL of serum for exosomal RNA detection. The mCLN assay successfully distinguished NSCLC from normal controls by detecting significantly higher microRNA-21 and TTF-1 mRNA levels in exosomes from both NSCLC patient serum samples and A549 NSCLC cells than those from normal controls and BEAS-2B normal bronchial epithelial cells. Compared with conventional qRT-PCR assay, the mCLN assay showed a higher diagnostic accuracy in lung cancer, required less sample volume (30 vs 100 μL), and consumed much less time (10 min vs 4 h).

Abstract
T lymphocytes infiltrate the most devastating metastatic tumors for immunotherapy, allowing the potential for tumor metastasis suppression. However, tumor heterogeneity often restricts the infiltration of immune cells and possesses immune privilege that leads to protection from the immune attack, especially for invading metastatic clusters. Here, an exosome-camouflaged nanoraspberry (RB@Exo) doubling as a metastases-targeting agent and T cell-infiltration inducer that delivers an anticancer drug and energy is reported. The RB@Exo integrated an exosome-derived margination effect, and density-mediated nanoparticle-induced extracellular leakiness (nanoEL) exhibited more than a 70% colocalization of the RB@Exo to metastatic tumors in the lung in vivo. The release of cancer cell-cell interactions at the metastasis via nanoEL also elicited the 10-fold infiltration of T lymphocytes. The synergy of the T cell infiltration and photolytic effects transported by the RB@Exo deep into the metastatic tumors effectively inhibited the tumor in 60 days when treated with a single alternating magnetic field (AMF).

Abstract
Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicle actively secreted by almost all eukaryotic cells. They are ideal candidates for reliable next-generation biomarkers in the early diagnosis and therapeutic response evaluation of cancer. Thus, the quantification of exosomes is crucial in facilitating clinical research and application. Compared with traditional materials, nanomaterials have better optical, magnetic, electrical, and catalytic properties due to their small size, high specific surface area, and variable structure. The incorporation of nanomaterials into sensing systems is an attractive approach towards improving sensitivity and can provide improved sensor selectivity and stability. In this paper, we summarize the progress in nanomaterial-based exosome detection methods, including electrochemical biosensors, photoelectrochemical biosensors, colorimetric biosensors, fluorescence biosensors, chemiluminescence biosensors, electrochemiluminescence biosensors, surface plasmon resonance biosensors, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy biosensors. Moreover, future research directions and challenges in exosome detection methods are discussed. We hope that this article will offer an overview of nanomaterial-based exosome detection techniques and open new avenues in disease research.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are reliable and noninvasive biomarkers for the early diagnosis of cancer. Yet, accurate and feasible detection of exosomal miRNAs is often hampered by the low abundance of miRNAs in exosomes and the requirement for RNA extraction in large sample volumes. Here we show a thermophoretic sensor implemented with nanoflares for in situ detection of exosomal miRNAs, without resorting to either RNA extraction or target amplification. Thermophoretic accumulation of nanoflare-treated exosomes leads to an amplified fluorescence signal upon the binding of exosomal miRNAs to nanoflares, allowing for direct and quantitative measurement of exosomal miRNAs down to 0.36 fM in 0.5 μL serum samples. One of the best markers, exosomal miR-375, showed an accuracy of 85% for detection of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer at early stages (stages I, II). This work provides a feasible tool to improve the diagnosis of cancer.
