Leveraging Concentration Imbalance-Driven DNA Circuit as an Operational Amplifier to Enhance the Sensitivity of Hepatitis B Virus DNA Detection with Hybridization-Responsive DNA-Templated Silver Nanoclusters. JACS AU 2024; 4:2323-2334. [PMID: 38938798 PMCID: PMC11200247 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health concern, necessitating the development of sensitive and reliable diagnostic methods. In this study, we propose a novel approach to enhance the sensitivity of HBV DNA detection by leveraging a concentration imbalance-driven DNA circuit (CIDDC) as an operational amplifier, coupled with a hybridization-responsive DNA-templated silver nanocluster (DNA-AgNCs) nanoprobe named Q·C6-AgNCs. The CIDDC system effectively converts and amplifies the input HBV DNA into an enriched generic single-stranded DNA output, which subsequently triggers the fluorescence of the DNA-AgNCs reporter upon hybridization, generating a measurable signal for detection. By incorporating the DNA circuit, we not only achieved enhanced sensitivity with a lower detection limit of 0.11 nM but also demonstrated high specificity with single-base mismatch discriminability for HBV DNA detection. Additionally, this mix-and-detect assay format is simple, user-friendly, and isothermal. This innovative strategy holds promise for advancing molecular diagnostics and facilitating the effective management of HBV-related diseases.

Abstract
Photosynthesis, essential for life on earth, sustains diverse processes by providing nutrition in plants and microorganisms. Especially, photosynthesis is increasingly applied in disease treatments, but its efficacy is substantially limited by the well-known low penetration depth of external light. Here, ultrasound-mediated photosynthesis is reported for enhanced sonodynamic tumor therapy using organic sonoafterglow (ultrasound-induced afterglow) nanoparticles combined with cyanobacteria, demonstrating the proof-of-concept sonosynthesis (sonoafterglow-induced photosynthesis) in cancer therapy. Chlorin e6, a typical small-molecule chlorine, is formulated into nanoparticles to stimulate cyanobacteria for sonosynthesis, which serves three roles, i.e., overcoming the tissue-penetration limitations of external light sources, reducing hypoxia, and acting as a sonosensitizer for in vivo tumor suppression. Furthermore, sonosynthetic oxygenation suppresses the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, leading to reduced stability of downstream SLC7A11 mRNA, which results in glutathione depletion and inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4, thereby inducing ferroptosis of cancer cells. This study not only broadens the scope of microbial nanomedicine but also offers a distinct direction for sonosynthesis.

Abstract
Epidemics caused by multiple viruses continue to emerge, which have brought a terrible impact on human society. Identification of viral infections with high sensitivity and portability is of significant importance for the screening and management of diseases caused by viruses. Herein, a microfluidic chip (MFC)-assisted upconversion luminescence biosensing platform is designed and fabricated for point-of-care virus detection. Upconversion nanoparticles with excellent stability are successfully synthesized as luminescent agents for optical signal generation in the portable virus diagnostic platform. The relevant investigation results illustrate that the MFC-assisted virus diagnostic platform possesses outstanding performance such as good integration, high sensitivity (1.12 pg mL-1), ease of use, and portability. In addition, clinical sample test result verifies its more prominent virus diagnostic properties than commercially available rapid test strips. All of these thrilling capabilities imply that the designed portable virus diagnostic platform has great potential for future virus detection applications.

Abstract
The recent prevalence of monkeypox has led to the declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Monkeypox lesions are typically ulcers or pustules (containing high titers of replication-competent virus) in the skin and mucous membranes, which allow monkeypox virus to transmit predominantly through intimate contact. Currently, effective clinical treatments for monkeypox are lacking, and strategies for blocking virus transmission are fraught with drawbacks. Herein, this work constructs a biomimetic nanotemplate (termed TBD@M NPs) with macrophage membranes as the coat and polymeric nanoparticles loading a versatile aggregation-induced emission featured photothermal molecule TPE-BT-DPTQ as the core. In a surrogate mouse model of monkeypox (vaccinia-virus-infected tail scarification model), intravenously injected TBD@M NPs show precise tracking and near-infrared region II fluorescence imaging of the lesions. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, the virus is eliminated by the photothermal effect and the infected wound heals rapidly. More importantly, the inoculation of treated lesion tissue suspensions does not trigger tail infection or inflammatory activation in healthy mice, indicating successful blockage of virus transmission. This study demonstrates for the first time monkeypox theranostics using nanomedicine, and may bring a new insight into the development of a viable strategy for monkeypox management in clinical trials.

Abstract
Recent decades have experienced tough situations due to the lack of reliable diagnostic facilities. The most recent cases occurred during the pandemic, where researchers observed the lack of diagnostic facilities with precision. Microorganisms and viral disease's ability to escape diagnosis has been a global challenge. DNA always has been a unique moiety with a strong and precise base-paired structure. DNA in human and foreign particles makes identification possible through base pairing. Since then, researchers have focused heavily on designing diagnostic assays targeting DNA in particular. Moreover, DNA nanotechnology has contributed vastly to designing composite nanomaterials by combining DNA/nucleic acids with functional nanomaterials and inorganic nanoparticles exploiting their physicochemical properties. These nanomaterials often exhibit unique or enhanced properties due to the synergistic activity of the many components. The capabilities of DNA and additional nanomaterials have shown the combination of robust and advanced tailoring of biosensors. Preceding findings state that the conventional strategies have exhibited certain limitations such as a low range of target detection, less biodegradability, subordinate half-life, and high susceptibility to microenvironments; however, a DNA-nanomaterial-based biosensor has overcome these limitations meaningfully. Additionally, the unique properties of nucleic acids have been studied extensively due to their high signal conduction abilities. Here, we review recent studies on DNA-nanomaterial-based biosensors, their mechanism of action, and improved/updated strategies in vivo and in situ. Furthermore, this review highlights the recent methodologies on DNA utilization to exploit the interfacial properties of nanomaterials in DNA sensing. Lastly, the review concludes with the limitations/challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Early monitoring and warning arrangements are effective ways to distinguish infectious agents and control the spread of epidemic diseases. Current testing technologies, which cannot achieve rapid detection in the field, have a risk of slowing down the response time to the disease. In addition, there is still no epidemic surveillance system, implementing prevention and control measures is slow and inefficient. Motivated by these clinical needs, a sample-to-answer genetic diagnosis platform based on light-controlled capillary modified with a photocleavable linker is first developed, which could perform nucleic acid separation and release by light irradiation in less than 30 seconds. Then, on site polymerase chain reaction was performed in a handheld closed-loop convective system. Test reports are available within 20 min. Because this method is portable, rapid, and easy to operate, it has great potential for point-of-care testing. Additionally, through multiple device networking, a real-time artificial intelligence monitoring system for pathogens was developed on a cloud server. Through data reception, analysis, and visualization, the system can send early warning signals for disease control and prevention. Thus, anti-epidemic measures can be implemented effectively, and deploying and running this system can improve the capabilities for the prevention and control of infectious diseases.

Abstract
Nanozymes show great promise in enhancing disease biomarker sensing by leveraging their physicochemical properties and enzymatic activities. These qualities facilitate signal amplification and matrix effects reduction, thus boosting biomarker sensing performance. In this review, recent studies from the last five years, concentrating on disease biomarker detection improvement through nanozyme-based biosensing are examined. This enhancement primarily involves the modulations of the size, morphology, doping, modification, electromagnetic mechanisms, electron conduction efficiency, and surface plasmon resonance effects of nanozymes for increased sensitivity. In addition, a comprehensive description of the synthesis and tuning strategies employed for nanozymes has been provided. This includes a detailed elucidation of their catalytic mechanisms in alignment with the fundamental principles of enhanced sensing technology, accompanied by the presentation of quantitatively analyzed results. Moreover, the diverse applications of nanozymes in strip sensing, colorimetric sensing, electrochemical sensing, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering have been outlined. Additionally, the limitations, challenges, and corresponding recommendations concerning the application of nanozymes in biosensing have been summarized. Furthermore, insights have been offered into the future development and outlook of nanozymes for biosensing. This review aims to serve not only as a reference for enhancing the sensitivity of nanozyme-based biosensors but also as a catalyst for exploring nanozyme properties and their broader applications in biosensing.

Abstract
Rapid, reliable, sensitive, portable, and accurate diagnostics are required to control disease outbreaks such as COVID-19 that pose an immense burden on human health and the global economy. Here we developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based electrochemical test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19. The test is based on the oxidation-reduction reaction between pyrophosphates (generated from positive LAMP reaction) and molybdate that is detected by cyclic voltammetry using inexpensive and disposable carbon screen printed electrodes. Our test showed higher sensitivity (detecting as low as 5.29 RNA copies/μL) compared to the conventional fluorescent reverse transcriptase (RT)-LAMP. We validated our tests using human serum and saliva spiked with SARS-CoV-2 RNA and clinical (saliva and nasal-pharyngeal) swab samples demonstrating 100% specificity and 93.33% sensitivity. Our assay provides a rapid, specific, and sensitive test with an electrochemical readout in less than 45 min that could be adapted for point-of-care settings.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5696. [PMID: 37629988 PMCID: PMC10456277 DOI: 10.3390/ma16165696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
The formation of nanostructured anodic titanium oxide (ATO) layers was explored on pure titanium by conventional anodizing under two different operating conditions to form nanotube and nanopore morphologies. The ATO layers were successfully developed and showed optimal structural integrity after the annealing process conducted in the air atmosphere at 450 °C. The ATO nanopore film was thinner (1.2 +/- 0.3 μm) than the ATO nanotube layer (3.3 +/- 0.6 μm). Differences in internal pore diameter were also noticeable, i.e., 88 +/- 9 nm and 64 +/- 7 nm for ATO nanopore and nanotube morphology, respectively. The silver deposition on ATO was successfully carried out on both ATO morphologies by silver electrodeposition and Ag colloid deposition. The most homogeneous silver deposit was prepared by Ag electrodeposition on the ATO nanopores. Therefore, these samples were selected as potential surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate, and evaluation using pyridine (aq.) as a testing analyte was conducted. The results revealed that the most intense SERS signal was registered for nanopore ATO/Ag substrate obtained by electrodeposition of silver on ATO by 2.5 min at 1 V from 0.05M AgNO3 (aq.) (analytical enhancement factor, AEF ~5.3 × 104) and 0.025 M AgNO3 (aq.) (AEF ~2.7 × 102). The current findings reveal a low-complexity and inexpensive synthesis of efficient SERS substrates, which allows modification of the substrate morphology by selecting the parameters of the synthesis process.

Abstract
The prokaryote-derived gene defense system as a new generation of nucleic acid detection tool exhibits impressive performance in the field of molecular diagnosis. Prokaryotic Argonaute (Ago) is a CRISPR-associated protein that is guided by a short DNA (gDNA) and then efficiently cleaves gDNA-complementary nucleic acids and presents unique characteristics that are different from the CRISPR/Cas system. However, the application of Ago in biosensing is still relatively scarce, and many properties of Ago need to be further clarified. In this study, we aim to systematically explore the properties of Thermus thermophilus Argonaute (TtAgo), including the dependence of TtAgo activity on guide DNA (gDNA) length, substrates' length, and the position of gDNA complementary region on the substrate. Based on these properties, we constructed an exonuclease III-assisted target-recycled amplification system (exoAgo) for sensitive miRNA detection. The result showed that exoAgo can be used for miRNA profiling with a detection limit of 12.2 pM and single-base-resolution and keep good performance for the detection of complex samples, which indicates that Ago has great application potential in the detection of nucleic acids. In conclusion, this study will provide guidance for further development and utilization of Ago in the field of biosensing.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a popular real-time technique for the measurement of binding affinity and kinetics, and bench-top instruments combine affordability and ease of use with other benefits of the technique. Biomolecular ligands labeled with the 6xHis tag can be immobilized onto sensing surfaces presenting the Ni2+-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) functional group. While Ni-NTA immobilization offers many advantages, including the ability to regenerate and reuse the sensors, its use can lead to signal variability between experimental replicates. We report here a study of factors contributing to this variability using the Nicoya OpenSPR as a model system and suggest ways to control for those factors, increasing the reproducibility and rigor of the data. Our model ligand/analyte pairs were two ovarian cancer biomarker proteins (MUC16 and HE4) and their corresponding monoclonal antibodies. We observed a broad range of non-specific binding across multiple NTA chips. Experiments run on the same chips had more consistent results in ligand immobilization and analyte binding than experiments run on different chips. Further assessment showed that different chips demonstrated different maximum immobilizations for the same concentration of injected protein. We also show a variety of relationships between ligand immobilization level and analyte response, which we attribute to steric crowding at high ligand concentrations. Using this calibration to inform experimental design, researchers can choose protein concentrations for immobilization corresponding to the linear range of analyte response. We are the first to demonstrate calibration and normalization as a strategy to increase reproducibility and data quality of these chips. Our study assesses a variety of factors affecting chip variability, addressing a gap in knowledge about commercially available sensor chips. Controlling for these factors in the process of experimental design will minimize variability in analyte signal when using these important sensing platforms.

Emerged 2D materials have attracted extensive scientific interest as fundamental building blocks or nanostructures among material scientists, chemists, biologists, and doctors due to their advantageous physicochemical and biological properties. This timely review provides a comprehensive summary of creating advanced NBPFs via emerging 2D materials (2D-NBPFs) with unique insights into the corresponding molecularly restructured microenvironments and biofunctionalities. First, it is focused on an up-to-date overview of the synthetic strategies for designing 2D-NBPFs with a cross-comparison of their advantages and disadvantages. After that, the recent key achievements are summarized in tuning the biofunctionalities of 2D-NBPFs via molecularly programmed microenvironments, including physiological stability, biocompatibility, bio-adhesiveness, specific binding to pathogens, broad-spectrum pathogen inhibitors, stimuli-responsive systems, and enzyme-mimetics. Moreover, the representative therapeutic and diagnostic applications of 2D-NBPFs are also discussed with detailed disclosure of their critical design principles and parameters. Finally, current challenges and future research directions are also discussed. Overall, this review will provide cutting-edge and multidisciplinary guidance for accelerating future developments and therapeutic/diagnostic applications of 2D-NBPFs.

Abstract
Opportunistic foodborne pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) can cause a wide variety of threats to public health. There is an urgent clinical need for a fast, simple, low-cost, and sensitive method. Here, we designed a fluorescence-based aptamer biosensor (aptasensor) for S. aureus detection using core-shell structured upconversion nanoparticles (CS-UCNPs) as a beacon. A S. aureus-specific aptamer was modified on the surface of CS-UCNPs for binding pathogens. The S. aureus bound to CS-UCNPs can then be isolated from the detection system by simple low-speed centrifugation. Thus, an aptasensor was successfully established for the detection of S. aureus. The fluorescence intensity of CS-UCNPs correlated with the concentration of S. aureus within the range of 6.36 × 102 to 6.36 × 108 CFU mL-1, resulting in the detected limit of S. aureus being 60 CFU mL-1. The aptasensor performed well in real food samples (milk) with a detection limit of 146 CFU mL-1 for S. aureus. Furthermore, we applied our aptasensor in chicken muscles for S. aureus detection, and compared it with the plate count gold standard method. There was no significant difference between our aptasensor and the plate count method within the detected limit, while the time for the aptasensor (0.58 h) was shorter than that of the plate count method (3-4 d). Therefore, we succeeded in the design of a simple, sensitive and fast CS-UCNPs aptasensor for S. aureus detection. This aptasensor system would have the potential for the detection of a wide range of bacterial species by switching the corresponding aptamer.
