Fatemi K, Lau SY, Obayomi KS, Kiew SF, Coorey R, Chung LY, Fatemi R, Heshmatipour Z, Premarathna KSD. Carbon nanomaterial-based aptasensors for rapid detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Anal Biochem 2024; 695:115639. [PMID: 39127327 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2024.115639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Each year, millions of people suffer from foodborne illness due to the consumption of food contaminated with pathogenic bacteria, which severely challenges global health. Therefore, it is essential to recognize foodborne pathogens swiftly and correctly. However, conventional detection techniques for bacterial pathogens are labor-intensive, low selectivity, and time-consuming, highlighting a notable knowledge gap. A novel approach, aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) linked to carbon nanomaterials (CNs), has shown the potential to overcome these limitations and provide a more reliable method for detecting bacterial pathogens. Aptamers, short single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)/RNA molecules, serve as bio-recognition elements (BRE) due to their exceptionally high affinity and specificity in identifying foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli (E. coli), Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, and other relevant pathogens commonly associated with foodborne illnesses. Carbon nanomaterials' high surface area-to-volume ratio contributes unique characteristics crucial for bacterial sensing, as it improves the binding capacity and signal amplification in the design of aptasensors. Furthermore, aptamers can bind to CNs and create aptasensors with improved signal specificity and sensitivity. Hence, this review intends to critically review the current literature on developing aptamer functionalized CN-based biosensors by transducer optical and electrochemical for detecting foodborne pathogens and explore the advantages and challenges associated with these biosensors. Aptasensors conjugated with CNs offers an efficient tool for identifying foodborne pathogenic bacteria that is both precise and sensitive to potentially replacing complex current techniques that are time-consuming.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) proves to be one of the most effective methods of label-free detection and has been integral for the study of biomolecular interactions and the development of biosensors. This trend delves into the latest SPR research and progress built upon the Kretschmann configuration, a pivotal platform, and highlights three key developments that have enhanced the capabilities of the technique. We will first cover a range of explorations of novel plasmonic materials that have shaped SPR performance. Innovative signal transduction and collection, which leverages traditional materials and emerging alternatives, will then be discussed. Finally, the evolving landscape of data analysis, including the integration of machine learning algorithms to navigate complex SPR datasets, will be reviewed. We will also discuss the implementation of these improvements that have enabled new biosensing functions. These advancements not only pave the way for enhanced biosensing in general but also open new avenues for the technique to play a more significant role in research concerning human health.

Abstract
Buildings worldwide are becoming more thermally insulated, and air circulation is being reduced to a minimum. As a result, measuring indoor air quality is important to prevent harmful concentrations of various gases that can lead to safety risks and health problems. To measure such gases, it is necessary to produce low-cost and low-power-consuming sensors. Researchers have been focusing on semiconducting metal oxide (SMOx) gas sensors that can be combined with intelligent technologies such as smart homes, smart phones or smart watches to enable gas sensing anywhere and at any time. As a type of SMOx, p-type gas sensors are promising candidates and have attracted more interest in recent years due to their excellent electrical properties and stability. This review paper gives a short overview of the main development of sensors based on copper oxides and their composites, highlighting their potential for detecting CO2 and the factors influencing their performance.

Abstract
The cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a crucial role in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Understanding the precise mechanism of IL-6 interaction at the amino acid level is essential to develop IL-6-inhibiting compounds. In this study, we employed computer-guided drug design tools to predict the key residues that are involved in the interaction between IL-6 and its receptor IL-6R. Subsequently, we generated IL-6 mutants and evaluated their binding affinity to IL-6R and the IL-6R - gp130 complex, as well as monitoring their biological activities. Our findings revealed that the R167A mutant exhibited increased affinity for IL-6R, leading to enhanced binding to IL-6R - gp130 complex and subsequently elevated intracellular phosphorylation of STAT3 in effector cells. On the other hand, although E171A reduced its affinity for IL-6R, it displayed stronger binding to the IL-6R - gp130 complex, thereby enhancing its biological activity. Furthermore, we identified the importance of R178 and R181 for the precise recognition of IL-6 by IL-6R. Mutants R181A/V failed to bind to IL-6R, while maintaining an affinity for the IL-6 - gp130 complex. Additionally, deletion of the D helix resulted in complete loss of IL-6 binding affinity for IL-6R. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the binding mechanism of IL-6 and establishes a solid foundation for future design of novel IL-6 inhibitors.

Abstract
This work explores the transformative role of graphene in enhancing the performance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensors. The motivation for this review stems from the growing interest in the unique properties of graphene, such as high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and versatile functionalization capabilities, which offer significant potential to improve the sensitivity, specificity, and stability of SPR biosensors. This review systematically analyzes studies published between 2010 and 2023, covering key metrics of biosensor performance. The findings reveal that the integration of graphene consistently enhances sensitivity. Specificity, although less frequently reported numerically, showed promising results, with high specificity achieved at sub-nanomolar concentrations. Stability enhancements are also significant, attributed to the protective properties of graphene and improved biomolecule adsorption. Future research should focus on mechanistic insights, optimization of integration techniques, practical application testing, scalable fabrication methods, and comprehensive comparative studies. Our findings provide a foundation for future research, aiming to further optimize and harness the unique physical properties of graphene to meet the demands of sensitive, specific, stable, and rapid biosensing in various practical applications.

Abstract
A label-free one-step lithographically masked deposition technique was implemented for the fabrication of gold nanoparticle (Au NP) micropatterns. These micropatterns serve as active substrates for surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and exhibit a substantial increase in the IR signal upon adsorption of multiple proteins compared to untreated surfaces. Micro-FTIR chemical imaging was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Au NP micropatterns as singular enhancers for SEIRAS across diverse IR-active substrates demonstrating a promising application for the detection of proteins at low concentrations within biological fluids.

Abstract
A gold-coated Kretschmann setup has been constructed and explored as a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) platform, specifically tailored for the detection of low-concentration sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. The setup employs a BK7 prism coated with a 50 nm gold layer, serving as a plasmonic layer, to induce resonance. This resonance arises from the interplay between light waves and free electrons propagating at the interface of two media. The experimental findings reveal a notable resonance angle shift of 10° when the NaCl concentration is varied from 0 to 2.5 %. Furthermore, angle interrogation provides insightful details about the sensor's response to changes in the refractive index, showcasing a commendable sensitivity of 2400°/RIU, a high level of linearity at 0.9771, and an impressive resolution of 0.217 %. The demonstrated capabilities of this sensor underscore its potential for widespread applications, particularly in the monitoring of salt concentration across diverse domains such as seawater analysis, food processing, and fermentation processes. The robust performance and precision of this proposed sensor position it as a valuable tool with promising prospects for addressing the needs of various industries dependent on accurate salt concentration measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND α-Synuclein (αS) aggregation is the main neurological hallmark of a group of neurodegenerative disorders, collectively referred to as synucleinopathies, of which Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most prevalent. αS oligomers are elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of PD patients, standing as a biomarker for disease diagnosis. However, methods for early PD detection are still lacking. We have recently identified the amphipathic 22-residue peptide PSMα3 as a high-affinity binder of αS toxic oligomers. PSMα3 displayed excellent selectivity and reproducibility, binding to αS toxic oligomers with affinities in the low nanomolar range and without detectable cross-reactivity with functional monomeric αS. RESULTS In this work, we leveraged these PSMα3 unique properties to design a plasmonic-based biosensor for the direct detection of toxic oligomers under label-free conditions. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY We describe the integration of the peptide in a lab-on-a-chip plasmonic platform suitable for point-of-care measurements of αS toxic oligomers in CSF samples in real-time and at an affordable cost, providing an innovative biosensor for PD early diagnosis in the clinic.

Abstract
Although antibodies, a key element of biorecognition, are frequently used as biosensor probes, the use of these large molecules can lead to adverse effects. Fab fragments can be reduced to allow proper antigen-binding orientation via thiol groups containing Fab sites that can directly penetrate Au sites chemically. In this study, the ability of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor to detect Salmonella was studied. Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine was used as a reducing agent to obtain half antibody fragments. Sensor surface was immobilized with antibody, and bacteria suspensions were injected from low to high concentrations. Response units were changed by binding first reduced antibody fragments, then bacteria. The biosensor was able to determine the bacterial concentrations between 103 and 108 CFU/mL. Based on these results, the half antibody fragmentation method can be generalized for faster, label-free, sensitive, and selective detection of other bacteria species.

Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria with varying solution concentrations have been successfully detected using silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs)-based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensors. The Ag NPs were effectively synthesized by a chemical method using trisodium citrate with L-Histidine (L-His) and deposited on the surface of Au thin film-coated half-cylinder BK-7 prisms. He-Ne laser with a wavelength of 632.8 nm was used to generate LSPR phenomena in Kretschmann configuration with prism/Au thin film/His-Ag NPs/E. coli bacteria/air structure arrangements. The variation of E. coli bacteria concentration was carried out to determine the effect of E. coli bacteria concentration on the LSPR curve characteristics. The characterization results showed that the size of Ag NPs was 18.7 nm, and that of His-Ag NPs was 17.9 nm. Selected area electron diffraction results indicated the formation of diffraction rings with the presence of lattice planes (111), (200), (220), and (311), proving the face-centered cubic crystal structure of silver. The absorbance peak of Ag NPs shifted from a wavelength of 421-414 nm with an increase in band gap energy from 2.94 eV to 2.99 eV, along with a decreased average particle size. The functional groups observed in His-Ag NPs showed wavenumbers at 3320 to 3318 cm-1, 2106 to 2129 cm-1, and 1635 cm-1, showing the OH, CH, and C CO bonds, respectively. The SPR angle of the prism/Au thin film/air structure is 44.80°. Meanwhile, the LSPR angle for the prism/Au thin film/His-Ag NPs/air structure is 44.92°. There is an increase in the LSPR angle by 0.12°. Moreover, the minimum reflectance increases by 0.02. After detecting E. coli bacteria, the LSPR angle shifted by 0.26°, 0.38°, and 0.49° for concentrations of 6.0 × 108 CFU/mL, 6.0 × 107 CFU/mL and 6.0 × 106 CFU/mL respectively. However, the minimum reflectance rose from 0.09° to 0.14°, 0.20°, and 0.22°. Moreover, SPR testing with the structure of the prism/Au thin film/E. coli bacteria/air was carried out to determine the contribution of His-Ag NPs for detecting E. coli bacteria. The results showed that no angular shift occurs. These results indicate that using Ag NPs encapsulated with L-His is essential in amplifying the SPR signal and detecting E. coli bacteria. There was a notable alteration in both the LSPR angle and minimum reflectance indicating that adding His-Ag NPs facilitated the interaction between the E. coli and the sensor surface, thereby enhancing the performance of LSPR-based sensors for E. coli detection for low limit of detection value at 0.47 CFU/mL.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a cardiovascular disease that occurs when there is an elevated demand for myocardial oxygen as a result of the rupture or erosion of atherosclerotic plaques. Globally, the mortality rates associated with MI are steadily on the rise. Traditional diagnostic biomarkers employed in clinical settings for MI diagnosis have various drawbacks, prompting researchers to investigate fast, precise, and highly sensitive biosensor platforms and technologies. Biosensors are analytical devices that combine biological elements with physicochemical transducers to detect and quantify specific compounds or analytes. These devices play a crucial role in various fields including healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety, and biotechnology. Biosensors developed for the detection of cardiac biomarkers are typically electrochemical, mass, and optical biosensors. Nanomaterials have emerged as revolutionary components in the field of biosensing, offering unique properties that significantly enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the detection systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements and applications of nanomaterial-based biosensing systems. Beginning with an exploration of the fundamental principles governing nanomaterials, we delve into their diverse properties, including but not limited to electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal characteristics. The integration of these nanomaterials as transducers in biosensors has paved the way for unprecedented developments in analytical techniques. Moreover, the principles and types of biosensors and their applications in cardiovascular disease diagnosis are explained in detail. The current biosensors for cardiac biomarker detection are also discussed, with an elaboration of the pros and cons of existing platforms and concluding with future perspectives.

Abstract
We investigate the damping effects of coherent electron oscillations on the bandwidth of a quantized nanoparticle plasmon resonance. The nanoparticle (NP) is treated as a two-level quantum system, and the total relaxation time involves both the population relaxation time associated with radiative processes and the collisional relaxation time associated with nonradiative processes that result in dephasing/decoherence of electron oscillations. We describe the optical response of NPs to an external electromagnetic field by the optical Bloch equations employing the density matrix formalism to capture the quantum description nature of dipolar plasmon resonance and suggest a generalized criterion for the validity of dipole approximation. Then we explore the competition between the radiative and nonradiative damping in determining the plasmon bandwidth of two typical NP models; metallic nanospheres and dielectric core-metal shell NPs (nanoshells). We show that the frequency of plasmon resonance, in addition to the NP size, plays an important role in the competition between the damping mechanisms. Consequently, the damping processes are significantly influenced by the factors that determine the resonance frequency, such as the core size, the dielectric constant of the medium, and the shell thickness (for nanoshells). For both models of NPs, we identify the optimum parameters that achieve a narrower plasmon bandwidth (minimal damping), which is a prerequisite for advanced sensing and medical applications. We demonstrate excellent agreement of the simulated spectral features of the plasmon resonance with previously reported experimental results for a single NP where the inhomogeneous broadening of the plasmon line is excluded. For NP ensembles where inhomogeneous broadenings and interface chemical effects are significant, our theoretical approach successfully predicts the overall trend of size-dependent damping rates.

Abstract
Surface Plasmon Resonance based-sensors are promising tools for precision diagnostics as they can provide tests useful for early and, whenever possible, non-invasive disease detection and monitoring. The design of novel, robust and effective interfaces enabling the sensing of a variety of molecular interactions in a highly selective and sensitive manner is a necessary step to obtain both accurate and reliable detection by SPR. This review covers the recent research efforts in this area, specifically emphasizing well-designed interfaces and applications in real-life samples. In particular, after a short introduction which identifies some of the critical challenges, the emerging strategies for the integration of the linker, the metal substrate and the recognition element on the sensing interface will be explored and discussed in three sections, as well as the opportunities for building SPR biosensors, easy to use, and with excellent sensitivities. Finally, a summary of some of the more promising and latest diagnostic applications will be provided, presenting a new window into the near-future perspectives.
