Abstract
Here, we report a novel aptasensor based on decahedral silver nanoparticles (Ag10NPs) enhanced fluorescence polarization (FP) for detecting PCB-77. Using aptamer modified Ag10NPs hybridized with DNA sequence labeled fluorescent group as an analytical probe, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB-77) could be detected with high sensitivity and selectivity. The linear range of determination was 0.02 ng/L to 390 ng/L and the limit of detection was 5 pg/L. In addition, through the optimization of the experiment condition and signal probe DNA (pDNA), we found that the maximum FP signal could be generated when the distance between fluorescein and the surface of Ag10NPs was 3 nm. When the aptamer was immobilized on the surface of Ag10NPs could be strengthened the anti-interference performance of aptamer nanoprobe and further improved the detection ability. At the same time, we also compared the detection performance of the traditional FP signal enhancer streptavidin (SA) analysis system. The fluorescence polarization aptasensor could detect PCB-77 samples efficiently in complex environmental water, which shows a good application prospect.

[PMID: 30339976 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2018.09.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2018] [Revised: 09/14/2018] [Accepted: 09/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In view of the urgent need of determining polychlorinated biphenyls in the environment, we developed a highly sensitive and selective photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor for determination of 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB77) by immobilizing aptamer on N-doped TiO2 nanotubes (N-doped TiO2 NTs). To improve analytical performance of the PEC sensor, the complementary DNA functionalized CdS quantum dots (DNA-CdS QDs) were introduced onto N-doped TiO2 NTs by hybridization. In addition of PCB77, owing to high affinity of aptamer to PCB77, PCB77-aptamer complexes were formed by being bound of PCB77 whilst DNA-CdS QDs were released from the sensing surface. The complexes with poor conductivity hindered the interfacial electron transfer, leading to the photocurrent decrease. The more important is the release of DNA-CdS QDs enhanced the photocurrent decrease, playing the role of signal amplification. The photocurrent change was utilized to detect PCB77 quantitatively. The PEC aptasensor exhibited excellent analytical performance for detection of PCB77 with wide linear range of 0.1-100 ng/L and a low detection limit of 0.1 ng/L. It manifested outstanding selectivity for PCB77 in control experiments by employing six interferents which had similar structure or coexisted with PCB77. Besides, the PEC aptasensor was used to detect the content of PBC77 in the environment.

Persistent Threats by Persistent Pollutants: Chemical Nature, Concerns and Future Policy Regarding PCBs-What Are We Heading For? TOXICS 2017; 6:toxics6010001.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sites around the world affect human health for many years, showing long latency periods of health effects. The impact of the different PCB congeners on human health should not be underestimated, as they are ubiquitous, stable molecules and reactive in biological tissues, leading to neurological, endocrine, genetic, and systemic adverse effects in the human body. Moreover, bioaccumulation of these compounds in fatty tissues of animals (e.g., fish and mammals) and in soils/sediments, results in chronic exposure to these substances. Efficient destruction methods are important to decontaminate polluted sites worldwide. This paper provides an in-depth overview of (i) the history and accidents with PCBs in the 20th century, (ii) the mechanisms that are responsible for the hazardous effects of PCBs, and (iii) the current policy regarding PCB control and decontamination. Contemporary impacts on human health of historical incidents are discussed next to an up to date overview of the health effects caused by PCBs and their mechanisms. Methods to decontaminate sites are reviewed. Steps which lead to a policy of banning the production and distribution of PCBs are overviewed in a context of preventing future accidents and harm to the environment and human health.
