Abstract
The development of a biocatalytic electrode consisting of cytochrome P450 (CYP) proteins would be a key technology with which to establish simple drug metabolizing biosensors or screening devices for drug inhibitors. We have successfully detected the direct electron transfer (DET) from a human CYP layer or a CYP microsome adsorbed on a bare indium tin oxide (ITO) film electrode without any modification layers and applied it to drug metabolism evaluation. We compared the electrocatalytic properties of the two ITO films with different surface nanostructures (polycrystalline or amorphous). CYP on polycrystalline ITO film enhanced the electron transfer rate of oxygen reduction about fifteen times more than with amorphous film. The polycrystalline ITO film was a suitable electrode for the adsorption of CYP proteins while maintaining efficient DET and enzymatic activity, probably because of its larger surface area and negatively charged surface. The oxygen reduction current at the polycrystalline ITO film electrodes had increased 3- to 4-fold, specifically coupled with the oxidation of drugs (testosterone and quinidine) by the monooxygenase activity of CYP. In contrast, the oxygen reduction current completely disappeared in the presence of the CYP inhibitor (ketoconazole). Similar results could be obtained from the CYP microsome with sufficiently clear responses. These results indicate that the CYP modified polycrystalline ITO electrode offers the potential for electrochemically evaluating CYP activity for drug metabolism with a simple configuration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Anticonvulsants have been developed according to the traditional neurotransmission imbalance hypothesis. However, the anticonvulsive pharmacotherapy currently available remains unsatisfactory. To develop new antiepileptic drugs with novel antiepileptic mechanisms, we have tested the antiepileptic actions of ONO-2506, a glial modulating agent, and its effects on tripartite synaptic transmission. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Dose-dependent effects of ONO-2506 on maximal-electroshock seizure (MES), pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure (PTZ) and epileptic discharge were determined in a genetic model of absence epilepsy in mice (Cacna1a(tm2Nobs/tm2Nobs) strain). Antiepileptic mechanisms of ONO-2506 were analysed by examining the interaction between ONO-2506 and transmission-modulating toxins (tetanus toxin, fluorocitrate, tetrodotoxin) on release of l-glutamate, d-serine, GABA and kynurenic acid in the medial-prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of freely moving rats using microdialysis and primary cultured rat astrocytes. KEY RESULTS ONO-2506 inhibited spontaneous epileptic discharges in Cacna1a(tm2Nobs/tm2Nobs) mice without affecting MES or PTZ. Given systemically, ONO-2506 increased basal release of GABA and kynurenic acid in the mPFC through activation of both neuronal and glial exocytosis, but inhibited depolarization-induced releases of all transmitters. ONO-2506 increased basal glial release of kynurenic acid without affecting those of l-glutamate, d-serine or GABA. However, ONO-2506 inhibited AMPA-induced releases of l-glutamate, d-serine, GABA and kynurenic acid. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS ONO-2506 did not affect traditional convulsive tests but markedly inhibited epileptic phenomena in the genetic epilepsy mouse model. ONO-2506 enhanced release of inhibitory neuro- and gliotransmitters during the resting stage and inhibited tripartite transmission during the hyperactive stage. The results suggest that ONO-2506 is a novel potential glial-targeting antiepileptic drug. LINKED ARTICLE This article is commented on by Onat, pp. 1086-1087 of this issue.

Abstract
In order to scrutinize potential of trialkoxysilanes to form close-packed monolayer, surface modification of silicon oxide was carried out with the trialkoxysilanes bearing a ferrocene moiety for analysis by electrochemical methods. As it was found that hydrogen-terminated silicon reacts with trialkoxysilane through natural oxidation in organic solvents, where the silicon oxide layer is thin enough to afford conductivity for electrochemical analysis, hydrogen-terminated silicon wafer was immersed in trialkoxysilane solution for surface modification without oxidation treatment. Cyclic voltammetry measurements to determine surface concentrations of the immobilized ferrocene-silane on silicon surface were carried out with various temperature, concentration, solvent, and molecular structure, while the blocking effect in the cyclic voltammogram was investigated to obtain insight into density leading to the close-packed layer. The results suggested that a monolayer modification tended to occur under milder conditions when the ferrocene-silane had a longer alkyl chain, and formation of a close-packed layer to show significant blocking effect was observed. However, the surface modification proceeded even when surface concentration of the immobilized ferrocene-silane was greater than that expected for the monolayer. On the basis of these tendencies, the surface of silicon oxide modified with trialkoxysilane is considered to be a partial multilayer rather than monolayer although a close-packed layer is formed. This result is supported by the comparison with carbon surface modified with ferrocene-diazonium, in which a significant blocking effect was observed when surface concentrations of the immobilized ferrocene moiety are lower than that for silicon oxide modified with ferrocene-silane.

Abstract
We report the electrochemical determination of mite allergen in real house dust by using a thin layer electrochemical flow cell and magnetic beads. Der p1, which is an allergen from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, was immunochemically sandwiched between two dispersed monoclonal antibodies; one was modified on the surface of magnetic beads and the other was modified with alkaline phosphatase. After washing the beads, a small volume of p-aminophenol phosphate (p-APP) was added to produce p-aminophenol (p-AP). And then the p-AP concentration was measured electrochemically with a homemade electrochemical cell. The Der p1 assay was completed within 30 min and a low detection limit of 0.3 ng/mL was achieved. This is because the diffusion distance of Der p1 and the detection antibody was reduced to 22.3 μm by using dispersed magnetic beads. Only 10 min was required to complete the entire immunoreaction, and 54% of the Der p1 was confirmed to have immunoreacted in only 1 min of mixing. Furthermore, the p-APP volume could be reduced using the thin-layer electrochemical flow cell. This is advantageous in terms of concentrating p-AP, and provides a high signal-to-noise ratio measurement in a short time. We achieved a high correlation (r=0.967, p<0.001) between our assay and a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for real house dust measurements.

Abstract
We report the sequence-selective discrimination of the cytosine methylation status in DNA with anti methylcytosine antibody for the first time. This was realized by employing an affinity measurement involving the target methylcytosine in a bulge region and anti methylcytosine antibody, following hybridization with a bulge-inducing DNA to ensure that only the target methylcytosine is located in the bulge. The affinity of the antibody for methylcytosine in the bulge was 79% of that in a single strand of DNA; however, the affinity for nontarget methylcytosine in a double strand of DNA decreased greatly. This is because the antibody cannot bind with an inwardly turned methylcytosine in the duplex region owing to the large antibody size. In contrast, the methylcytosine in the bulge is recognized by the antibody because it is available to rotate freely owing to the single bond between deoxyribose and phosphate in a DNA chain. By employing the difference between the affinity in the bulge and that in the duplex, we could determine selectively whether or not the target cytosine was methylated in an O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter sequence with a single base level. The proposed bulge-specific assay technique can be combined with a widely used absorbance measurement method that employs the color change in tetramethyl benzidine induced by horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody. The sequence-selective discrimination of the methylation status could also be obtained with various types of interfering genomic DNA contamination without any conventional bisulfite treatment, polymerase chain reaction, (PCR) or electrophoresis.

Abstract
Microarrays of RNA aptamers are fabricated in a one-step, multiplexed enzymatic synthesis on gold thin films in a microfluidic format and then employed in the detection of protein biomarkers with surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) measurements. Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) oligonucleotides are transcribed on-chip from double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) templates attached to microarray elements (denoted as generator elements) by the surface transcription reaction of T7 RNA polymerase. As they are synthesized, the ssRNA oligonucleotides diffuse in the microfluidic channel and are quickly captured by hybridization adsorption onto adjacent single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) microarray elements (denoted as detector elements) that contain a sequence complementary to 5'-end of the ssRNA. The RNA aptamers attached to these detector elements are subsequently used in SPRI measurements for the bioaffinity detection of protein biomarkers. The microfluidic generator-detector element format permits the simultaneous fabrication of multiple ssRNA oligonucleotides with different capture sequences that can hybridize simultaneously to distinct detector elements and thus create a multiplexed aptamer microarray. In an initial set of demonstration experiments, SPRI measurements are used to monitor the bioaffinity adsorption of human thrombin (hTh) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins onto RNA aptamer microarrays fabricated in situ with this on-chip RNA polymerase synthesis methodology. Additional SPRI measurements of the hydrolysis and desorption of the surface-bound ssRNA aptamers with a surface RNase H are used to verify the capture of ssRNA with RNA-DNA surface hybridization onto the detector elements. The on-chip RNA synthesis described here is an elegant, one-step multiplexed methodology for the rapid and contamination-free fabrication of RNA aptamer microarrays for protein biosensing with SPRI.

Abstract
Cytosine methylation in DNA was determined by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection and employed for the DNA methylation assay of a long and real genomic sample for the first time. The developed method employed an antimethyl cytosine antibody labeled with acetylcholinesterase, which was added to recognize single methylated cytosine in a DNA oligomer. The acetylcholinesterase converted acetylthiocholine (substrate) to thiocholine (product), which was accumulated on a gold electrode surface via gold-thiol binding. This surface accumulated preconcentration made it possible to observe bright and distinctive ECL by applying a potential to the gold electrode in the presence of a tris(2,2-bipyridyl)ruthenium complex luminophore when the analyte DNA contained a methylation region. Methyl-cytosine was measured quantitatively in the 1-100 pmol range, which exhibits sufficiently high sensitivity to achieve real DNA measurements without amplification by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The proposed ECL method also exhibited high selectivity for methyl-cytosine against nonmethylated cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine nucleotides. Finally, original and methylated DNA samples were clearly distinguished with our method using a real DNA bacteriophage sample (48,502 base pairs).

Abstract
A hybrid functional biomolecular interface designed at a molecular size level is very effective at capturing an analyte with high sensitivity even if the interaction is very weak, as when detecting proteins with carbohydrate. We designed and processed a protein (lectin) recognition molecular interface taking the following points into consideration: (1) the height (molecular length) difference between the capturing and spacer molecules; (2) the ratio of capturing molecules in the recognition interface. When the height difference between the maltoside part (Concanavalin A (Con A) recognition group) and the OH group terminated spacer molecules exceeded (>(CH(2))(6)), the association rate constant (k(a)) became larger (k(a)(1/Ms): ∼2.6 times) and the dissociation constant (K(D)) became much smaller (K(D)(M): 1.0 × 10(-6): ∼0.17 times) compared with the similar heights (lengths) of both molecular interfaces. With regard to maltoside density, a 100% maltoside monolayer was unsuitable for detecting Con A. We constructed a nanostructured recognition site with a maltoside part of 10%, which was the most suitable ratio for Con A detection. The binding interaction between Con A and the maltoside group was changed from monovalent binding to bivalent binding when the maltoside part was diluted in the recognition interface. From electrochemical measurements, even though there was a small amount of maltoside component on the suitable recognition monolayer, quality similar to that of 100% maltoside was observed.

Abstract
We have developed a polymer film based plasmonic device whose optical properties are tuned for measuring biological samples. The device has a circular nanohole array structure fabricated with a nanoimprint technique using a UV curable polymer, and then gold thin film is deposited by electron beam deposition. Therefore, the device is mass-producible, which is also very important for bioaffinity sensors. First the gold film thickness and hole depth were optimized to obtain the maximum dip shift for the reflection spectra. The dip shift is equivalent to the sensitivity to refractive index changes at the plasmonic device surface. We also calculated the variation in reflection spectra by changing the above conditions using the finite-difference time domain method, and we obtained agreement between the theoretical and experimental curves. The nanohole periodicity was adjusted from 400 to 900 nm to make it possible to perform measurements in the visible wavelength region to measure the aqueous samples with less optical absorption. The tuned bottom filled gold nanohole array was incorporated in a microfluidic device covered with a PDMS based microchannel that was 2 mm wide and 20 μm deep. As a proof of concept, the device was used to detect TNF-α by employing a direct immunochemical reaction on the plasmonic array, and a detection limit of 21 ng mL(-1) was obtained by amplification with colloidal gold labeling instead of enzymatic amplification.

Abstract
We describe the electrochemical detection of DNA methylation through the direct oxidation of both 5-methylcytosine (mC) and cytosine (C) in 5'-CG-3' sequence (CpG) oligonucleotides using a sputtered nanocarbon film electrode after digesting a longer CpG oligonucleotide with endonuclease P1. Direct electrochemistry of the longer CpG oligonucleotides was insufficient for obtaining the oxidation currents of these bases because the CG rich sequence inhibited the direct oxidation of each base in the longer CpG oligonucleotides, owing to the conformational structure and its very low diffusion coefficient. To detect C methylation with better quantitativity and sensitivity in the relatively long CpG oligonucleotides, we successfully used an endonuclease P1 to digest the target CpG oligonucleotide and yield an identical mononucleotide 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate (5'-dNMP). Compared with results obtained without P1 treatment, we achieved 4.4 times higher sensitivity and a wider concentration range for mC detection with a resolution capable of detecting a subtle methylated cytosine difference in the CpG oligonucleotides (60mer).

Abstract
An on-chip enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay combined with an electrochemical detection method (EC-ELISA) was employed to detect a leptin, one of the most important adipose derived hormones, using gold electrodes modified with a tri(ethylene glycol) terminated short alkanethiol (TEGCnSH, Cn = (CH(2))n, n = 2, 4, 6, and 8) monolayer. These TEGCnSH monolayers on gold electrodes can suppress non-specific protein adsorption without affecting the electrochemical activity required for detecting p-aminophenol (PAP), which is an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) product. We measured leptin with a highly sensitive detection range (100 pg mL(-1) to 10 ng mL(-1) level) and with the desired detection limit (13.6 pg mL(-1)) by using electrochemical detection. For detecting leptin, the EC-ELISA method using TEGC4SH modified gold electrode with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) based microchannel was superior to the conventional ELISA method. With the EC-ELISA method, we were able to measure leptin with a satisfactory detection range and a pg level detection limit within 30 min, which is a much lower detection level than that obtained with conventional plate based ELISA.

Abstract
Surface modification of glassy carbon (GC) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was carried out with diazonium, amine, azide, and olefin derivatives bearing ferrocene as an electroactive moiety. Features of the modified surfaces were evaluated by surface concentrations of immobilized molecule, blocking effect of the modified surface against redox reaction, and surface observation using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical scanning tunneling microscope (EC-STM). The measurement of surface concentrations of immobilized molecule revealed the following three aspects: (i) Diazonium and olefin derivatives could modify substrates with the dense-monolayer concentration. (ii) The surface concentration of immobilized amine derivative did not reach to the dense-monolayer concentration reflecting their low reactivity. (iii) The surface modification with the dense-monolayer concentration was also possible with azide derivative, but the modified surface contained some oligomers produced by the photoreaction of azides. Besides, the blocking effect against redox reaction was observed for GC modified with diazonium derivative and for HOPG modified with diazonium and azide derivatives, suggesting fabrication of a densely modified surface. Finally, the surface observation for HOPG modified with diazonium derivative by EC-STM showed a typical monolayer structure, in which the ferrocene moieties were packed densely at random. On the basis of those results, it was demonstrated that surface modification of carbon substrates with diazonium could afford a dense monolayer similar to the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formation.

Abstract
Ferrocene-attached polymyxin B (PMB-Fc) was prepared by the reaction of polymyxin B with ferrocenoyl chloride in a toluene/pyridine mixture. An electrochemical detection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was carried out using a combination of PMB-Fc and an enzyme-modified electrode constructed from a glassy carbon electrode modified with a bovine serum albumin membrane containing glucose oxidase. The ferrocene units of the PMB-Fc molecules were oxidized on the electrode, and then reduced to the original neutral form by a glucose oxidase-catalyzed reaction in the presence of D-glucose. The consumption/regeneration cycle for PMB-Fc resulted in a chemically amplified current response. The current response for PMB-Fc decreased in association with its complexation with LPS, and the magnitude of this current decrease caused by LPS was also amplified by the recycling process. The enzyme-modified electrode exhibited a rapid response of 5 min for LPS with the detection limit as low as 50 ng ml(-1). Further, the addition of D-solbitol or poly(vinyl alcohol) of high concentration over 1 mg ml(-1) substantially induced no response, and three kinds of LPS from different strains exhibited similar magnitudes of current response for the same concentrations; these results suggest the advantages of this detection system for practical applications. Ferrocene-attached colistin, an analogue of PMB-Fc, was also effective for the LPS detection using the glucose oxidase-modified electrode.

Abstract
This paper reports the development and characterization of a highly sensitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay realized by the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) detection of a thiol monolayer formed by an enzyme labeled antibody. We used two monoclonal anti tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antibodies for a sandwich immunoassay. One was a capture antibody, and the other was a detection antibody labeled with an enzyme via an avidin-biotin interaction. Acetylcholinesterase was used as the labeling enzyme to convert acetylthiocholine to thiocholine. Then the thiocholine was collected on a gold electrode surface by gold-thiol binding. A bright and distinctive emission was observed at 1150 mV (vs Ag-AgCl) on the gold electrode with a thiocholine monolayer as a coreactant in the presence of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium complex. This method can greatly enhance the immunoassay signal since a large number of coreactant molecules can be generated by the enzymatic reaction, which is advantageous compared with a previously reported ECL based immunoassay that directly labels the detection antibody with a coreactant or luminophore. In addition, a surface accumulated coreactant is superior to the previously reported coreactant system in a bulk solution, because ECL emission occurs only very close to an electrode surface. As a result, high sensitivity and a low detection limit of 0.2 pM (3.4 pg/mL) TNF-alpha were achieved with excellent reproducibility by optimizing the conditions for the immuno-reaction, thiocholine accumulation, and ECL generation.
