[PMID: 39490305 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.127104] [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: 07/26/2024] [Revised: 10/18/2024] [Accepted: 10/23/2024] [Indexed: 11/05/2024]
Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an essential hydrolase widely present in humans, and it extensively acts as a biomarker for multiple human diseases. Conventional ALP assays suffer from complicated synthesis, tedious operation, low sensitivity, and large sample consumption. Herein, we construct an end-repairing-engineered quadratic in vitro transcription machine for single-molecule monitoring of ALP in diverse cancers with 3'-phosphoryl (PO4) nucleic acid as a macromolecular substrate. In presence of ALP, it catalyzes the removal of 3'-PO4 group to yield a 3'-hydroxyl end in hairpin probe 1 (HP1). Under the catalysis of Taq ligase, 3'-hydroxylated HP1 and hairpin probe 2 (HP2) are ligated together to form an intact transcription template. With the addition of T7 RNA polymerase, in vitro transcription amplification is activated to synthesize numerous reporter probes. Resulting reporter probes can bind with signal probes to initiate duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-aided cyclic degradation of signal probes. Eventually, multiple cycles of degradation-liberation-hybridization induce the generation of large amounts of FAM fluorophores that are counted via single-molecule imaging. Due to high specificity of ALP-directed 3'-end dephosphorylation, high efficiency of quadratic in vitro transcription cascades, and ultrahigh signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of single-molecule counting, this machine can detect ALP with a limit of detection (LOD) of 7.93 × 10-8 U/μL in vitro and 1 cell in vivo. Furthermore, it can be applied for the evaluation of enzyme kinetics, screening of potential antidrugs, and quantification of ALP level in various cancer cells and human serums, holding potential in 3'-phosphatases-associated biological study and clinical diagnosis.

[PMID: 39180828 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116694] [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: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
This work addresses challenges of simple but reliable determination of enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in μL-sized serum samples. The single-tube assay and plate-based immunoassay were developed by using a commercial glucose test strip (GTS) to transduce analytical signal from the ALP + glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) reaction. The glucose released from G6P contributed to the flow of anodic charge Q20s through GTS. The interferences from serum matrix including those from native glucose were eliminated by devising a signal ΔQ20s = Q20s (total) - Q20s (matrix). The ΔQ20s was proportional to ALP activity within a linear range of 7.4-720 IU L-1 for assay (R2, 0.995) and 10-300 IU L-1 for immunoassay (R2, 0.983), which far exceeded a normal clinical range for ALP in adult human serum (30-150 IU L-1). Both methods required no auxiliary enzymes or labels, and were accurate (93-99 % signal recovery) and precise (RSD ≤10%). The assay was a simpler option because it required only one 20-min incubation step to determine ALP. The immunoassay involved three steps but it was still less laborious (by ∼70%) than a traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of ALP due to the substitution of ELISA detection antibody with GTS. The GTS-G6P-based methods bring ALP testing closer to the point-of-care locations, which is important considering the growing role of ALP as a prophylactic, therapeutic, and anti-inflammatory agent, and a marker of human diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temperature sensing is commonly used in point-of-care (POC) detection technologies, yet the portability and convenience of use are frequently compromised by the complexity of thermosensitive processes and signal transduction. Especially, multi-step target recognition reactions and temperature measurement in the reaction vessel present challenges in terms of stability and integration of detection devices. To further combine photothermal reaction and signal readout in one assay, these two processes enable to be integrated into miniaturized microfluidic chips, thereby facilitating photothermal sensing and achieving a simple visual temperature sensing as POC detection. RESULTS A copper ion (Cu2+)-catalyzed photothermal sensing system integrated onto a microfluidic distance-based analytical device (μDAD), enabling the visual, portable, and sensitive quantitative detection of multiple targets, including ascorbic acid, glutathione, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) were synthesized by the regulation of free Cu2+ through redox or coordination reactions, facilitating the transduction of distinct photothermal response signals and providing the versatile Cu2+-responsive sensing systems. Promoted by integration with a photothermal μDAD, the system combines PDA's photothermal responsiveness and thermosensitive gas production of ammonium bicarbonate for improved sensitivity of ALP detection, reaching the detection limit of 9.1 mU/L. The system has successfully achieved on-chip detection of ALP with superior anti-interference capability and recoveries ranging from 96.8 % to 104.7 %, alongside relative standard deviations below 8.0 %. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY The μDAD design accommodated both the photothermal reaction of PDA NPs and thermosensitive gas production reaction, achieving the rapid sensing of visual distance signals. The μDAD-based Cu2+-catalyzed photothermal sensing system holds substantial potential for applications in biochemical analysis and clinical diagnostics, underscored by the versatile Cu2+ regulation mechanism for a broad spectrum of biomarkers.

Abstract
Establishing a rapid and accurate method for monitoring the freshness of aquatic products is of great importance. Hypoxanthine has been considered an essential indicator of aquatic products' freshness. Here, a novel smartphone colorimetric / inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) / photothermal three-mode sensing strategy was established for monitoring hypoxanthine. Hypoxanthine can be catalyzed by xanthine oxidase to H2O2 and uric acid, which can simultaneously degrade MnO2 nanosheets (NSs) to Mn2+. After filter-assisted separation, the smartphone and ICP-MS were performed by monitoring the color of the membrane and the Mn2+ in the filtrate. Additionally, MnO2 NSs can facilitate the oxidation of dopamine to form polydopamine nanoparticles, which exhibit strong photothermal efficiency. The approach successfully monitored the deterioration of aquatic products under various storage conditions through portable thermometers and smartphones with low limits of detection (LODs), providing a potential application for in-situ evaluation of the freshness of aquatic products.

Abstract
New strategies for the simultaneous and portable detection of multiple enzyme activities are highly desirable for clinical diagnosis and home care. However, the methods developed thus far generally suffer from high costs, cumbersome procedures, and heavy reliance on large-scale instruments. To satisfy the actual requirements of rapid, accurate, and on-site detection of multiple enzyme activities, we report herein a smartphone-assisted programmable microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) that utilizes colorimetric and photothermal signals for simultaneous, accurate, and visual quantitative detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Specifically, the operation of this μPAD sensing platform is based on two sequential steps. Cobalt-doped mesoporous cerium oxide (Co-m-CeO2) with remarkable peroxidase-like activities under neutral conditions first catalytically decomposes H2O2 for effectively converting colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB). The subsequent addition of ALP or BChE to their respective substrates produces a reducing substance that can somewhat inhibit the oxTMB transformation for compromised colorimetric and photothermal signals of oxTMB. Notably, these two-step bioenzyme-nanozyme cascade reactions strongly support the straightforward and excellent processability of this platform, which exhibit lower detection limits for ALP and BChE with a detection limit for BChE an order of magnitude lower than those of the other reported paper-based detection methods. The practicability and efficiency of this platform are further demonstrated through the analysis of clinical serum samples. This innovative platform exhibits great potential as a facile yet robust approach for simultaneous, accurate, and on-site visual detection of multiple enzyme activities in authentic samples.

A photothermal aptasensor based on rolling circle amplification-enriched DNAzyme for portable detection of ochratoxin A in grape juice. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132279.

Abstract
Aptasensors for detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) have been extensively studied, but the majority of them require costly and large-scale equipment as signal readers. Herein, a photothermal aptasensor capable of portable detection of OTA through a thermometer was developed on basis of aptamer structural switching and rolling circle amplification (RCA)-enriched DNAzyme. Oligonucleotides and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) modified magnetic beads were prepared. The binding of aptamers to OTA led to the release of ALP labeled complementary DNA. After magnetic separation, ALP catalyzed the padlock dephosphorylation, inhibiting the subsequent RCA reaction. This process converted the OTA concentration into the amount of the photothermal reagent oxTMB produced from the catalytic reaction induced by RCA-enriched DNAzyme. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit (LOD) of this aptasensor was 2.28 nM in a clean buffer, while the LOD reached 2.43 nM in 2 % grape juice. The good performance of the photothermal aptasensor makes it possible to measure OTA pollution in low resource environments.

Abstract
Enzymes serve as pivotal biological catalysts that accelerate essential chemical reactions, thereby influencing a variety of physiological processes. Consequently, the monitoring of enzyme activity and inhibition not only yields crucial insights into health and disease conditions but also forms the basis of research in drug discovery, toxicology, and the understanding of disease mechanisms. In this context, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have emerged as effective tools for tracking enzyme activity and inhibition through diverse strategies. This perspective explores the physicochemical attributes of SWCNTs that render them well-suited for such monitoring. Additionally, we delve into the various strategies developed so far for successfully monitoring enzyme activity and inhibition, emphasizing the distinctive features of each principle. Furthermore, we contrast the benefits of SWCNT-based NIR probes with conventional gold standards in monitoring enzyme activity. Lastly, we highlight the current challenges faced in this field and suggest potential solutions to propel it forward. This perspective aims to contribute to the ongoing progress in biodiagnostics and seeks to engage the wider community in developing and applying enzymatic assays using SWCNTs.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a zinc-containing metalloprotein that shows very great significance in clinical diagnosis, which can catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphorylated species. ALP has the potential to serve as a valuable biomarker for detecting liver dysfunction and bone diseases. On the other hand, ALP is an efficient biocatalyst to amplify detection signals in the enzyme-linked assay. It has always been a major research focus to develop novel biosensors that can detect ALP activity with high selectivity and sensitivity. There have been numerous reports on the development of biosensors to determine ALP activity using a phosphorylated DNA probe. Among them, various beneficial strategies, such as λ exonuclease-mediated cleavage reaction, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-triggered DNA polymerization, and Klenow fragment polymerase-catalyzed elongation, are employed to generate amplified and more intuitive signal. This review discusses and summarizes the development and advances of biosensors for ALP activity detection that use a well-designed phosphorylated DNA probe, aiming to provide some guidelines for the design of more sophisticated sensing strategies that exhibit improved sensitivity, selectivity, and adaptability in detecting ALP activity.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the deterioration of bone mineral density (BMD) because of an imbalance between bone resorption and formation, which might happen due to lots of factors like age, hormonal imbalance, and several others. While this occurrence is prevalent in both genders, it is more common in women, especially postmenopausal women. It is an asymptomatic disease that is underlying until the first incidence of a fracture. The bone is weakened, making it more susceptible to fracture. Even a low trauma can result in a fracture, making osteoporosis an even more alarming disease. These fractures can sometimes be fatal or can make the patient bedridden. Osteoporosis is an understudied disease, and there are certain limitations in diagnosing and early-stage detection of this condition. The standard method of dual X-ray absorptiometry can be used to some extent and can be detected in standard radiographs after the deterioration of a significant amount of bone mass. Clinically assessing osteoporosis using biomarkers can still be challenging, as clinical tests can be expensive and cannot be accessed by most of the general population. In addition, manufacturing antibodies specific to these biomarkers can be a challenging, time-consuming, and expensive method. As an alternative to these antibodies, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be used in the detection of these biomarkers. This Review provides a comprehensive exploration of bone formation, resorption, and remodeling processes, linking them to the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. It details biomarker-based detection and diagnosis methods, with a focus on MIPs for sensing CTX-1, NTX-1, and other biomarkers. The discussion compares traditional clinical practices with MIP-based sensors, revealing comparable sensitivity with identified limitations. Additionally, the Review contrasts antibody-functionalized sensors with MIPs. Finally, our Review concludes by highlighting the potential of MIPs in future early-stage osteoporosis detection.

Abstract
Noble metal nanoparticle (NMP)-based composite substrates have garnered significant attention as a highly promising technique for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in diverse scientific disciplines because their remarkable ability to amplify and functionalize Raman signals has positioned them as valuable tools for molecular detection. However, optimizing the size and distribution of NMPs has not received sufficient emphasis because of challenges associated with the precise control of deposition and the modulation of reducing rates during growth. In this research, we achieved the optimized size and spatial patterns of AgNWs on electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers by utilizing a polydopamine (PDA) layer as a mild and controllable reduction mediator, by which the size and density of the AgNWs could be relatively precisely manipulated, achieving a dense distribution of effective "hot spots". On the other hand, harnessing the inherent piezoelectric properties of the electrospun PVDF nanofibers further boosted the LSPR effect during the SERS test, forming a flexible dual-enhancing composite SERS substrate with excellent sensitivity. In addition to addressing structural aspects, exploiting synergistic systems capable of transferring external energy or forces to enhance the SERS performances presents a compelling avenue to broaden the practical applications of SERS. The dual-enhanced substrate achieved an exceptional enhancement factor (EF) of 1.05 × 108 and a low detection limit (LOD) of 10-10 M during the SERS test. This study focuses on integrating NMPs with electrospun piezoelectric polymer nanofibers to develop a dual-enhancing SERS substrate with excellent sensitivity and practicality. The findings provide valuable insights into controllably depositing NMPs on electrospun polymer fibers and hold significant implications for the development of highly sensitive and practical SERS substrates across various applications.

Abstract
Herein, we propose a paper-based laboratory via enzyme-free nucleic acid amplification and nanomaterial-assisted cation exchange reactions (CERs) assisted single-cell-level analysis (PLACS). This method allowed for the rapid detection of mucin 1 and trace circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients. Initially, an independently developed method requiring one centrifuge, two reagents (lymphocyte separation solution and erythrocyte lysate), and a three-step, 45 min sample pretreatment was employed. The core of the detection approach consisted of two competitive selective identifications: copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) to C-Ag+-C and Ag+, and dual quantum dots (QDs) to Cu2+ and CuS NPs. To facilitate multimodal point-of-care testing (POCT), we integrated solution visualization, test strip length reading, and a self-developed hand-held fluorometer readout. These methods were detectable down to ag/mL of mucin 1 concentration and the single-cell level. Forty-seven clinical samples were assayed by fluorometer, yielding 94% (30/32) sensitivity and 100% (15/15) specificity with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.945. Nine and 15 samples were retested by a test strip and hand-held fluorometer, respectively, with an AUC of 0.95. All test results were consistent with the clinical imaging and the folate receptor (FR)-PCR kit findings, supporting its potential in early diagnosis and postoperative monitoring.

Abstract
With an increasing incidence worldwide, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which impairs the life quality of patients. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a sensitive, simple, and convenient biosensor to analyze IBD-associated biomarkers for an auxiliary diagnosis of IBD. Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), expressed by the intestinal epithelium, is an endogenous protein that is thought to play a vital role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and is considered a potential biomarker for IBD. Here, an IAP detection method was developed using pregnancy test strips by dephosphorylation. Initially, a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was designed to respond to IAP and acted as an activator of Cas12a. In the presence of IAP, the designed dsDNA was not digested by lambda exonuclease (λ exo), which hybridized to the Cas12a-crRNA duplex and resulted in the activation of the trans-cleavage of Cas12a. Further, the activated Cas12a cleaved the single-strand DNA (ssDNA) linker in the MBs-ssDNA-hCG probe, triggering the release of hCG. With magnetic separation, the released hCG could be quantitatively detected by pregnancy test strips. IAP levels were analyzed in feces from colitis and healthy mice by pregnancy test strips. The results showed that the IAP level of colitis mice (3.89 ± 1.92 U/L) was much lower than that of healthy mice (39.64 ± 24.93 U/L), indicating the correlation between IAP and intestinal inflammation. Taken together, a sensitive, user-friendly detection assay based on pregnancy test strips was constructed to monitor IAP and used as an auxiliary diagnostic approach for IBD in a clinical scene.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a metalloenzyme, the level of which is clinically significant as an abnormality of ALP activity results in several diseases. In the present study, we introduced a MnO2 nanosheet-based assay for ALP detection employing the adsorption and reduction characteristics of G-rich DNA probes and ascorbic acid (AA), respectively. Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) was utilized to act as a substrate for ALP which hydrolyzes AAP generating AA. In the absence of ALP, MnO2 nanosheets adsorb the DNA probe destructing the G-quadruplex formation and showing no fluorescence emission. On the contrary, being present in the reaction mixture ALP hydrolyzes AAP yielding AA, then the AA reduce the MnO2 nanosheets into Mn2+, hence, the probe is free to react with a dye, thioflavin T (ThT), and synthesizes ThT/G-quadruplex to spark high fluorescence intensity. Therefore, under optimized conditions (250 nM DNA probe, 8 μM ThT, 96 μg/mL MnO2 nanosheets, and 1 mM AAP) the sensitive and selective measurement of ALP activity can be achieved through the change of fluorescence intensity, with a linear range and a limit of detection of 0.1-5 U/L and 0.045 U/L. Our assay exhibited its potential to assess the ALP inhibitor when in an inhibition assay Na3VO4 inhibited ALP with an IC50 value of 0.137 mM and also was validated in clinical samples.

Abstract
Ready-to-use in vitro diagnosis of multiple genotypes is vital for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Herein, a paper-film-based interactive dual readout differential lateral flow biosensor is proposed to simultaneously assay two high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) within the body-fluid. The CuCo2S4/ZnIn2S4 heterostructure is fabricated on the paper-film compound chip with high thermostability, and surface sulfur vacancy is introduced by mild annealing treatment to endow unexceptionable photoexcitation activity, such structure can be served as an initial energy harvester and converter. With the assistance of differential channels, the dual-target-propelled self-assembly of annular DNA and the cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a are stepwise activated by sequential solution transfer. Accordingly, the input and release of polydopamine-coated gold nanoparticles with photothermal/photoelectric characteristic were implemented. The fabricated biosensor not only realized intelligent thermal-response without large instruments, but also actuated dynamic interfacial charge separation and transfer kinetics to further transmit photoelectric-signal, resulting in desirable interactive dual-signal with low limit-of-detection (0.21 pM for HPV-18 and 42.92 pM for HPV-16). Thanks to the sophisticated design of differential lateral flow paper-film compound chip and interactive dual-signal amplification strategy, sensitive detection of two HPV genotypes is realized, which provides a promising candidate for home medical intelligent diagnosis.

Abstract
Fabrication of a multi-signal readout assay with high sensitivity and selectivity is highly desirable for clinical and biochemical analysis, but remains a challenge due to laborious procedures, large-scale instruments, and inadequate accuracy. Herein, a straightforward, rapid, and portable detection platform based on palladium(II) methylene blue (MB) coordination polymer nanosheets (PdMBCP NSs) was unveiled for the ratiometric dual-mode detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) with temperature and colorimetric signal readout properties. The sensing mechanism is the ALP-catalyzed generation of ascorbic acid for competitive binding and etching PdMBCP NSs to release free MB in a quantitive means for detection. Specifically, ALP addition led to the decrease of temperature signal readout from the decomposed PdMBCP NSs under 808 nm laser excitation, and simultaneous increase of the temperature from the generated MB with a 660 nm laser, together with the corresponding absorbance changes at both wavelengths. Notably, this ratiometric nanosensor exhibited a detection limit of 0.013 U/L (colorimetric) and 0.095 U/L (photothermal) within 10 min, respectively. The reliability and satisfactory sensing performance of the developed method were further confirmed by clinic serum samples. Therefore, this study provides a new insight for the development of dual-signal sensing platforms for convenient, universal, and accurate detection of ALP.

Abstract
Eobania vermiculata is a hazardous snail that can damage ornamental plants and cause significant harm to plant sections in Egyptian areas. Herein, the molluscicidal activity of CuPb-Ferrite/TiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) against E. vermiculata was evaluated using the poisonous bait method. LC50 values were determined using the leaf dipping and contact methods, with values of 631.23 and 1703.49 ppm for CuPb-Ferrite/TiO2 and 193.67 and 574.97 ppm for TiO2. Exposure to both NPs resulted in a significant increase in the biochemical parameters of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), as well as a decrease in total protein (TP) percentage of E. vermiculata. Histological examinations revealed that many digestive cells had ruptured, and their contents had been lost, while the foot's epithelial layer became ruptured. The average reduction was 66.36% for CuPb-Ferrite/TiO2 NPs compared to the recommended molluscicide, Neomyl, with a 70.23% reduction in the field application. Electrophoretic separation of total protein using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after treatment with LC50 concentrations of TiO2 and CuPb-Ferrite/TiO2 demonstrated the potency of these synthetic compounds as molluscicidal agents. Therefore, we recommend the use of CuPb-Ferrite/TiO2 NPs as a novel land snail molluscicide because it is safe to use, and the baits are arranged to not affect irrigation water, with a high molluscicidal effect.

Abstract
Real-time chemical and biological sensing in vitro is important for application in health and environmental monitoring. Thus, a more rapid and stable detection method is urgently needed. Herein, an immediate-stable real-time fluorescent immunosensor with a high response speed (∼100%, <1 s) and approximately zero steady-state error is constructed. The developed sensor is based on the MnO4--triggered in situ immediate-stable fluorogenic reaction between dopamine and orcinol monohydrate to produce azamonardine (DMTM). The obtained DMTM is identified and characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. The present sensor achieves a highly sensitive detection of dopamine (DA) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 nM as well as alkaline phosphates (ALP) with an LOD of 0.1 mU/mL by using orcinol monohydrate phosphate sodium salt as a substrate. As a proof of concept, ALP-triggered fluorescence ELISA using cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as a model antigen target is further constructed. The developed real-time sensor achieves the detection of cTnI with an LOD of 0.05 ng/mL. Moreover, the sensor proposed by us is successfully applied to assess the cTnI level in clinical serum specimens and yields results consistent with those obtained by the commercial ELISA method. The immediate-stable real-time fluorescence immunosensor provides a promising and powerful platform for the trace detection of biomolecules in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Alternaria is an endemic fungus associated with brown spot disease, which is one of the most serious citrus diseases. In addition, the mycotoxins metabolized by Alternaria threaten human health seriously. Herein, a novel homogeneous and portable qualitative photothermal method based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), CRISPR/Cas12a, and rolling circle amplification (RCA) for the detection of Alternaria is described. Using RCA primers as substrates for CRISPR/Cas12a trans-cleavage, the two systems, RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a and RCA-enriched G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme, are intelligently combined. Target DNA at fg/μL levels can be detected with high specificity. Additionally, the practicability of the proposed method is demonstrated by analyzing cultured Alternaria from different fruit and vegetable samples, as well as citrus fruit samples collected in the field. Furthermore, the implementation of this method does not require any sophisticated equipment and complicated washing steps. Therefore, it has great potential to screen Alternaria in poor laboratories.

Abstract
Gas pressure biosensing is a promising portable analysis method. The gas-generation reaction is crucial to its sensitivity, speed, repeatability, and usability. However, very few gas-generation reactions are available for sensitive, safe, and diverse biosensing. Herein, acid-accelerated hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) was explored for the first time to achieve portable and diverse gas pressure biosensing. The slow hydrolysis and hydrogen generation of NaBH4 in alkaline medium is accelerated with increasing acidity, which increased the gas pressure in a small and sealed tube within 10 min. Thus, a label-free bioassay is easily and specifically achieved once analytes can in-situ generate acid to accelerate the hydrolysis rate of NaBH4, such as glucose, acetylcholine (ACh), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and others. More importantly, analytes without acid generation could be quantitatively and selectively detected by combining target recognition with acid-generated biochemical reactions for enzyme-linked gas pressure biosensing. Inspired by this, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-aptamer interaction-triggered strand displacement reaction was combined with glucose oxidation by glucose oxidase (GOD) to detect AFB1 as low as 7.1 pM. Therefore, acid-accelerated hydrolysis of NaBH4 is powerful for developing portable, cheap, and diverse gas pressure biosensing. It opens up a new way for cheap, universal, and portable biosensing.

Abstract
A fluorescent and photothermal dual-mode assay method was established for the detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity based on in situ formation of o-phenylenediamine (oPD) cascade polymers. First, copper metal-organic frameworks of benzenetricarboxylic acid (Cu-BTC) were screened out as nanozymes with excellent oxidase-like activity and confinement catalysis effect. Then, an ingenious oPD cascade polymerization strategy was proposed. That is, oPD was oxidized by Cu-BTC to oPD oligomers with strong yellow fluorescence, and oPD oligomers were further catalyzed to generate J-aggregation, which promotes the formation of oPD polymer nanoparticles with a high photothermal effect. By utilizing thiocholine (enzymolysis product of acetylthiocholine) to inhibit the Cu-BTC catalytic effect, AChE activity was detected through the fluorescence-photothermal dual-signal change of oPD oligomers and polymer nanoparticles. Both assay modes have low detection limitation (0.03 U L-1 for fluorescence and 0.05 U L-1 for photothermal) and can accurately detect the AChE activity of human serum (recovery 85.0-111.3%). The detection results of real serum samples by fluorescent and photothermal dual modes are consistent with each other (relative error ≤ 5.2%). It is worth emphasizing that this is the first time to report the high photothermal effect of oPD polymers and the fluorescence-photothermal dual-mode assay of enzyme activity.

Abstract
Cross-reactive sensor arrays are useful for discriminating multiple analytes in a complex sample. Herein, a portable and label-free gas pressure sensor array was proposed for multiplex analysis via a handheld gas pressure meter. It is based on the interaction diversity of analytes with catalase-like nanomaterials, including Pt nanoparticles (PtNP), Co3O4 nanosheets (Co3O4NS), and Pt-Co alloy nanosheets (PtCoNS), respectively. Thus, the diverse influence of analytes on the catalase-like activity could be output as the difference in the gas pressure. By using principal component analysis, eight proteins were well distinguished by the gas pressure sensor array at the 10 nM level within 12 min. Moreover, different concentrations of proteins and mixtures of proteins could likewise be discriminated. More importantly, the effective discrimination of proteins in human serum and discrimination of five kinds of cells further confirmed the potential of the gas pressure sensor array. Therefore, it provides a portable, cheap, sensitive, and label-free gas pressure sensor array, which is totally different from the reported sensor arrays and holds great potential for portable and cheap discrimination of multiple analytes.

Abstract
The exploration of new strategies for portable detection of mercury ions with high sensitivity and selectivity is of great value for biochemical and environmental analyses. Herein, a straightforward, convenient, label-free, and portable sensing platform based on a Au nanoparticle (NP)-decorated WO3 hollow nanoflower was constructed for the sensitive and selective detection of Hg(II) with a pressure, temperature, and colorimetric triple-signal readout. The resulting Au/WO3 hollow nanoflowers (Au/WO3 HNFs) could efficaciously impede the aggregation of Au NPs, thus significantly improving their catalytic activity and stability. The sensing mechanism of this new strategy using pressure as a signal readout was based on the mercury-triggered catalase mimetic activity of Au/WO3 HNFs. In the presence of the model analyte Hg(II), H2O2 in the detection system was decomposed to O2 fleetly, resulting in a detectable pressure signal. Accordingly, the quantification of Hg(II) was facilely realized based on the pressure changes, and the detection limit could reach as low as 0.224 nM. In addition, colorimetric and photothermal detection of Hg(II) using the Au/WO3 HNFs based on their mercury-stimulated peroxidase mimetic activity was also investigated, and the detection limits were calculated to be 78 nM and 0.22 μM for colorimetric and photothermal methods, respectively. Hence, this nanosensor can even achieve multimode determination of Hg(II) with the concept of point-of-care testing (POCT). Furthermore, the proposed multimode sensing platform also displayed satisfactory sensing performance for the Hg(II) assay in actual water samples. This promising strategy may provide novel insights on the fabrication of a multimode POCT platform for sensitive, selective, and accurate detection of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Here, we report a simple aptamer-based toxoid test with both fluorescence and binary visual readouts. This test is established based on our recent finding that CdTe quantum dots could differentiate DNA templated Cu NPs from Cu2+. Through the further integration with enzyme-free triple parallel hybridization chain reaction, cation exchange reaction, and inkjet printing, we demonstrated specific detection of tetanus toxoid with a limit-of-detection (LOD) of 0.25 fg/mL using fluorescence readout. Using color- and distance-based binary visual readouts, we were able to achieve LODs of 10 fg/mL and 1 fg/mL, respectively. The quantitative test results for tetanus toxoid using both fluorescence and visual readouts were successfully validated in 84 clinical serum samples. Moreover, our strategy also enabled accurate monitoring of tetanus toxoid levels in patients before and after drug treatment. On the basis of our clinical test results, we recommend a cutoff value of 5 fg/mL for tetanus infection.

Abstract
Rational design of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reagents is essential for the development of ECL biosensors with superior performances. In this work, the assembly of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) [Ru(phen)32+] and tetrahedral chalcogenide nanoclusters of [Cd32S14(SC6H5)38]2- in the formation of complex nanoclusters (CdS-Ru) was developed, in which Ru(phen)32+ was uniformly encapsulated and dispersed at a molecular level in the chalcogenide nanocluster via multiple noncovalent interactions. It was observed that the promoted ECL emission was realized by the charge transfer between the tetrahedral CdS nanocluster and Ru(phen)32+ by the formation of the assembly complex, which was elucidated by cyclic voltammetry curves, ECL-potential curves, and in situ dynamic ECL spectra. Taking advantages of the facile charge transfer in the open framework CdS-Ru, a high ECL efficiency has been achieved with remarkable stability. Moreover, a solid-state ECL sensor based on the CdS-Ru modified electrode was fabricated for label-free detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity with a detection limit as low as 0.35 U/L and superior reproducibility. This solid-state ECL sensor also displayed favorable selectivity among various interferences and was applied for ALP activity analysis in human serum samples. These results implicated the potential applications of CdS-Ru for sensitive ECL analysis in complicated reaction systems and enlightened the rational design for self-enhanced and highly efficient ECL materials.

Abstract
The global pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) virus indiscriminately impacted people worldwide with unquantifiable and severe impacts on all aspects of our lives, regardless of socioeconomic status. The pandemic brought to light the very real possibility of pathogens changing and shaping the way we live, and our lack of preparedness to deal with viral/bacterial outbreaks. Importantly, the quick detection of pathogens can help prevent and control the spread of disease, making the importance of diagnostic techniques undeniable. Point-of-care diagnostics started as a supplement to standard lab-based diagnostics, and are gradually becoming mainstream. Because of this, and their importance in detecting pathogens (especially in the developing world), their development has accelerated at an unprecedented rate. In this review, we highlight some important and recent examples of point-of-care diagnostics for detecting nucleic acids, proteins, bacteria, and other biomarkers, with the intent of making apparent their positive impact on society and human health.

Abstract
Quantitative detection of cancer cells using portable devices is promising for the development of simple, fast, and point-of-care cancer diagnostic techniques. However, how to further amplify the detection signal to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting cancer cells by portable devices remains a challenge. To solve the problem, we, for the first time, synthesized folic-acid-conjugated Au nanoframes (FA-Au NFs) with amplification of pressure and temperature signals for highly sensitive and accurate detection of cancer cells by portable pressure meters and thermometers. The resulting Au NFs exhibit excellent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal performance and catalase activity, which can promote the decomposition of NH4HCO3 and H2O2 to generate corresponding gases (CO2, NH3, and O2), thereby synergistically amplifying pressure signals in a closed reaction vessel. At the same time, Au NFs with excellent peroxidase-like activity can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce TMB oxide (oxTMB) with a strong photothermal effect, thereby cooperating with Au NFs to amplify the photothermal signal. In the presence of cancer cells with overexpressing folate receptors (FRs), the molecular recognition signals between FA and FR can be converted into amplified pressure and temperature signals, which can be easily read by portable pressure meters and thermometers, respectively. The detection limits for cancer cells using pressure meters and thermometers are 6 and 5 cells/mL, respectively, which are better than other reported methods. Moreover, such Au NFs can improve tumor hypoxia by catalyzing the decomposition of H2O2 to produce O2 and perform photothermal therapy of cancer. Together, our work provides new insight into the application of Au NFs to develop a dual-signal sensing platform with amplification of pressure and temperature signals for portable and ultrasensitive detection of cancer cells as well as personalized cancer therapy.

Abstract
A multicolor and photothermal dual-mode assay for sensitive alkaline phosphatase (ALP) determination was realized based on the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-induced etching of gold nanorods (AuNRs). TMB was oxidized under ultraviolet light irradiation to form TMB+. In the presence of ALP, ascorbic acid phosphate (AAP) is converted to ascorbic acid, which can then reduce the levels of TMB+, resulting in lower concentrations of TMB+. The remaining TMB+ was transformed into TMB2+ after the addition of HCl solution. AuNRs were etched by TMB2+ to produce a multicolor and photothermal change. Based on the degree of AuNRs etching, this highly sensitive dual-mode assay provided a linear range of 1.0-8.0 mU/mL, with detection limits of 0.34 mU/mL for the multicolor assay and 0.11 mU/mL for the photothermal assay. This method was successfully applied to the determination of ALP in serum samples.

Abstract
A simple thermal aptasensing platform was devised for the sensitive detection of organophosphate pesticides (using malathion as a model target) based on the efficient self-heating reaction of a warming pad with a switchable target responsive enzyme-encapsulated three-dimensional (3D) DNA hydrogel using a portable thermometer as a signal readout in this work. The existence of the target malathion would open the catalase-3D network and lots of catalase was released from the hydrogel, which could efficiently convert H2O2 to an O2 molecule. The product O2 is the critical condition for the self-heating of the warming pad. Thereafter, the temperature was enhanced with the increasing amount of O2. The strategy displays outstanding specificity, reproducibility and stability. Moreover, this method can be easily extended to monitor other molecules using different aptamer sequences in practical applications.

A sensitive photothermometric biosensor based on redox reaction-controlled nanoprobe conversion from Prussian blue to Prussian white. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:6627-6637.

Abstract
As a new low-cost photothermal nanoprobe, Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) have been demonstrated to have more potential in photothermometric-based point-of-care testing (POCT) application. However, most of the existing PB NP-based photothermometric sensors were constructed mainly relying on in situ generation of PB NPs or their combination with antigens and antibodies, therefore usually suffering from the inherent defects like complicated preparation and cumbersome surface process as well as high-cost modification. To break this limitation of PB NP-based photothermometric POCT, we proposed an ingenious redox reaction-controlled nanoprobe conversion strategy and successfully applied to photothermometric detection of ascorbate oxidase (AAO). In this design, the heat of PB NP photothermal system under 808-nm laser irradiation dramatically decreased with the addition of AA, due to a unique AA-induced Prussian blue to Prussian white (PB-to-PW) conversion. Upon AAO addition, the heat of reaction system increased because of the enzymatic catalytic reaction between AAO and AA, which led to a significant reduction of AA and resultantly inhibited PB-to-PW conversion. Such target-mediated nanoprobe conversion resulted in an obvious temperature change that could be easily detected by a common thermometer and exhibited good linear ranges from 0.25 to 14 mU/mL with a detection limit as low as 0.21 mU/mL for POCT analysis of AAO. This facile, convenient, and portable photothermometric sensing platform provides an innovative route for the design of PB NP nanoprobe-based photothermometric detection methods.

Quantitative gold nanorods based photothermal biosensor for glucose using a thermometer as readout. Talanta 2021; 230:122364.

Abstract
To meet the increasing need for point-of-care testing (POCT), simple and portable readout strategies would be highly desirable. Thermometer with high accuracy and straightforward readout is an ideal tool for the development of new POCT methods. The exploration of new thermometer-based detection methods is of great significance. In this study, a simple biosensor for glucose based on the photothermal effect of gold nanorods using a simple thermometer as readout has been developed. In the presence of glucose oxidase, glucose can react with the dissolved oxygen to produce H2O2. With the help of Fe2+, H2O2 can etch gold nanorods (AuNRs) to different aspect ratios. The decrease of the aspect ratio of AuNRs leads to the blue-shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance peak, resulting in a decrease of photothermal effect in the near-infrared regions and the temperature of the system decreased. The change of the temperature has a linear relationship with the logarithm of glucose concentration in the range of 1.0-10.0 mM with a detection limit of 0.8 mM. The proposed method possesses a bias offset of -0.03 mM for glucose detection compared to the hospital method. Since many enzymatic reactions can produce H2O2, the principle can be modified to detect different targets by simply change of the enzyme used.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheet-based fluorescence sensors often use oxidase-like activity or wide absorption spectrum for detection of antioxidants. In those strategies, MnO2 nanosheets were reduced to Mn2+ by antioxidants. However, few strategies emphasize the role of Mn2+ obtained from MnO2 reduction in the design of the fluorescence sensor. Herein, we expanded the application of a MnO2 nanosheet-based fluorescence sensor by involving Mn2+ in the detection process using ascorbic acid (AA) as a model target. In this strategy, carbon dots (CDs), MnO2 nanosheets, and tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonic acid (TPPS) comprise a ternary system for ratiometric fluorescence detection of AA. Initially, CDs were quenched by MnO2 nanosheets based on the inner filter effect, while TPPS maintained its fluorescence intensity. After the addition of AA, MnO2 nanosheets were reduced to Mn2+ so that the fluorescence intensity of CDs was recovered and TTPS was quenched by coordination with Mn2+. Overall, AA triggered an emission intensity increase at 440 nm for CDs and a decrease at 640 nm for TPPS. The ratio intensity of CDs to TPPS (F 440/F 640) showed a good linear relationship from 0.5 to 40 μM, with a low detection limit of 0.13 μM for AA detection. By means of the alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-triggered generation of AA, this strategy can be applied for the detection of ALP in the range of 0.1-100 mU/mL, with a detection limit of 0.04 mU/mL. Furthermore, this sensor was applied to detect AA and ALP in real, complex samples with ideal recovery. This novel platform extended the application of MnO2 nanosheet-based fluorescence sensors.

Abstract
Nanozyme based on Prussian blue nanocubes (PB NCs) loaded with copper nanoparticles (Cu@PB NCs) was synthesized. The peroxidase (POD)-like activity of Cu@PB NCs was studied and utilized for detecting the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The Cu@PB NCs possess higher POD-like activity compared with PB NCs and natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP) due to the loading of copper nanoparticles. 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) can be oxidized to oxTMB in the presence of Cu@PB NCs and H2O2, generating blue-colored compound, while introduction of pyrophosphate (PPi) leads to the POD-like activity of Cu@PB NCs decreased obviously. In the presence of ALP, PPi was hydrolyzed and then the POD-like activity of Cu@PB NCs was restored. So, according to the change of the POD-like activity of Cu@PB NCs, a sensitive colorimetric assay for ALP activity was reported. The limit of detection of the assay is 0.08 mU/mL, with linear range from 0.1 to 50 mU/mL. In addition, the assay was also applied for screening the inhibitors of ALP. Nanozyme based on Prussian blue nanocube (PB NCs) loaded with copper nanoparticles was synthesized and utilized for detecting the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP).

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) assay is a promising point-of-care testing (POCT) technology due to the fast response, high sensitivity, and easy miniaturization. The application and performance of CL POCT method were highly dependent on the CL reaction. Herein, based on the CL reaction between luminol and in-situ generated K3Fe(CN)6, a low-cost, enzyme-free, and label-free CL POCT method was explored via a portable and handheld luminometer to detect telomerase activity. Telomerase elongated telomere substrate (TS) primer to form (TTAGGG)n repeats which hybridize with multiple short DNAs. The intercalation of SYBR Green I (SGI) into double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) generated singlet oxygen under the irradiation of LED light source. Singlet oxygen was then employed for in-situ oxidation of K4Fe(CN)6 to K3Fe(CN)6, which could react with luminol to generate a strong CL intensity. Thus, telomerase activity could be specifically, sensitively, and label-free detected. The detection limit was down to 98 HeLa cells. The detection process was very simple, and the cost was about $0.01 for each measurement. Furthermore, telomerase activity was detectable in human serum samples, with spike recoveries from 96% to 105%. According to our knowledge, it is the first effort to develop a low-cost, label-free and enzyme-free CL method with good repeatability for detecting biomarker based on the analyte-triggered and in-situ generated K3Fe(CN)6/luminol CL reaction.

[PMID: 33884514 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-021-04827-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have captured substantial attention of an increasing number of scientists working in sensing analysis fields, due to their large surface area, high porosity, and tunable structure. Recently, MOFs as attractive fluorescence quenchers have been extensively investigated. Given their high quenching efficiency toward the fluorescence intensity of dyes-labeled specific biological recognition molecules, such as nucleic acids, MOFs have been widely developed to switch fluorescence biosensors with low background fluorescence signal. These strategies not only lead to specificity, simplicity, and low cost of biosensors, but also possess advantages such as ultrasensitive, rapid, and multiple detection of switch fluorescence methods. At present, researches of the analysis of switch fluorescence biosensors based on MOFs and nucleic acids mainly focus on sensing of different types of in vitro and intracellular analytes, indicating their increasing potential. In this review, we briefly introduce the principle of switch fluorescence biosensor and the mechanism of fluorescence quenching of MOFs, and mainly discuss and summarize the state-of-the-art advances of MOFs and nucleic acids-based switch fluorescence biosensors over the years 2013 to 2020. Most of them have been proposed to the in vitro detection of different types of analytes, showing their wide scope and applicability, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNAs), ribonucleic acid (RNAs), proteins, enzymes, antibiotics, and heavy metal ions. Besides, some of them have also been applied to the bioimaging of intracellular analytes, emerging their potential for biomedical applications, for example, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and subcellular glutathione (GSH). Finally, the remaining challenges in this sensing field and prospects for future research trends are addressed. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The practical use of a point-of-care (POC) device is of particular interest in performing liquid biopsies related to cancer. Herein, taking advantage of the practical convenience of a commercially available personal glucose meter (PGM), we report a convenient, low-cost and sensitive detection strategy for circulating microRNA-155 (miRNA155) in human serum. First, miRNA155 in serum triggers the catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction, and then the CHA product is specifically captured by the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes attached to the surface of a 96-well plate, which in turn triggers the hybridization chain reaction (HCR), resulting in the local enrichment of invertase. Next, introduction of a substrate (sucrose) for the invertase results in the generation of glucose, which can be detected by a PGM. In this sensor, neutrally charged PNA (12 nt) is more likely to hybridize with the CHA products than with the negatively charged DNA in kinetics, which improves the detection sensitivity and specificity. Due to the synergistic isothermal amplification reaction between CHA and HCR, the sensor is able to achieve a broad dynamic range (from 1 fM to 10 nM) with a detection limit down to 0.36 fM (3 orders of magnitude lower than that without HCR) and is capable of distinguishing single-base mismatched sequences. Thus the convenient, sensitive, robust and low-cost PGM sensor makes on-site nucleic acids detection possible, suggesting its great application prospect as a promising POC device in cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as a necessary hydrolase in phosphate metabolism is closely related to various diseases. Ultrasensitive detection of ALP with a convenient and sensitive method is of fundamental importance. In this work, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based single-particle enumeration (SPE) method is proposed for the quantitative analysis of ALP. This strategy is based on the effective fluorescence suppression by a polydopamine (PDA) shell on the surface of semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs). PDA with broadband absorption in the UV-vis region can serve as an excellent quencher for SPNs. However, ascorbic acid (AA), the product of the hydrolysis of 2-phosphate-l-ascorbic acid trisodium salt (AAP) in the presence of ALP, can effectively inhibit the self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) to form a PDA layer. Therefore, ALP can be accurately quantified by counting the concentration-related fluorescent particles in the fluorescence image. A linear range from 0.031 to 12.4 μU mL-1 and a limit-of-detection (LOD) of 0.01 μU mL-1 for ALP determination are achieved. The spiked recoveries for ALP determination in a human serum sample are between 90% and 108% with RSD less than 3.1%. In summary, this convenient and sensitive approach proposed here provides promising prospects for ALP detection in a complex biological matrix.

Abstract
The detection of carbendazim (CBZ) is important for food safety and human health. However, most current analytical methods require large instruments and highly trained operators. In order to solve this problem, herein, an innovative portable and quantitative photothermal assay platform relying on a thermometer readout for the detection of CBZ has been developed. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which exhibit a strong distance-dependent photothermal effect under specific laser irradiation, were utilized as indicators. The CBZ aptamer was introduced to protect AuNPs from salt-mediated aggregation. When CBZ is present, the binding event between CBZ and aptamer leads to the loss of the aptamer protective effect on AuNPs, and AuNP aggregation occurs. Under 650-nm laser irradiation, the increase in temperature associated with an AuNP-dependent photothermal effect is highly related to the CBZ concentration. Having the advantages of user-friendliness, low cost, quick response, and portability, this method has great potential for on-site applications.
