JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134323. [PMID: 38640680 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Sensitive detection and point-of-care test of bacterial pathogens is of great significance in safeguarding the public health worldwide. Inspired by the characteristics of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), we synthesized a hybrid nanoflower with peroxidase-like activity via a three-component self-assembled strategy. Interestingly, the prepared nanozyme not only could act as an alternative to HRP for colorimetric biosensing, but also function as a unique signal probe that could be recognized by a pregnancy test strip. By combining the bifunctional properties of hybrid nanoflower, isothermal amplification of LAMP, and the specific recognition and non-specific cleavage properties of CRISPR/Cas12a system, the dual-readout CRISPR/Cas12a biosensor was developed for sensitive and rapid detection of Salmonella enterica. Moreover, this platform in the detection of Salmonella enterica had limits of detection of 1 cfu/mL (colorimetric assay) in the linear range of 101-108 cfu/mL and 102 cfu/mL (lateral flow assay) in the linear range of 102-108 cfu/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the developed biosensor exhibited good recoveries in the spiked samples (lake water and milk) with varying concentrations of Salmonella enterica. This work provides new insights for the design of multifunctional nanozyme and the development of innovative dual-readout CRISPR/Cas system-based biosensing platform for the detection of pathogens.

Abstract
Liver tumor is difficult to cure for its high degree of malignancy and rapid progression characteristics. Ferroptosis as a new model of inducing cell death is expected to break the treatment bottleneck of liver tumors. Here, a strategy to induce ferroptosis in HepG2 cells with acid-degradable tumor targeted nanosheets Cu-Hemin-PEG-Lactose acid (Cu-Hemin-PEG-LA) is proposed. After highly ingested by HepG2 cells, Cu-Hemin-PEG-LA nanosheets are degraded by weak acid and release Cu(II) and hemin, which consuming intracellular glutathione (GSH) content and increasing the expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) protein, respectively. Furthermore, the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 protein (GPX4) is down-regulated by consumption intracellular GSH content via converting GSH into glutathione oxidized (GSSG), which is named the classical mode. The intracellular Fe2+ content is overloaded by the significant up-regulation of HMOX1 expression, which is denoted as nonclassical mode. The synergistic effect of classical and nonclassical mode increased the intracellular lipid reactive oxide species, induced the occurrence of ferroptosis and up-regulated the expression of BH3 interacting domain death agonist (BID), apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), and endonuclease G proteins (EndoG). The synergistic strategy demonstrate the excellent ferroptosis induction ability and antitumor efficacy in vivo, which provides great potential for the clinical transformation of ferroptosis.

Abstract
In recent decades, artificial nanozymes with excellent stability, low cost and availability have been gradually explored to avoid the limits of natural enzymes such as poor stability, high cost and difficult preparation. Herein, for the first time, we investigated the capability of nanoscale Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) as a nanozyme, which was quickly synthesized in situ by a microwave-assisted method within 20 min using Fe3O4 as the metal precursor. The obtained Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) showed satisfactory intrinsic dual enzyme mimetic activities, including peroxidase (POD)- and catalase (CAT)-like activities. Moreover, a simple and effective colorimetric biosensor was fabricated to detect glutathione (GSH) based on its POD-like activity. The proposed measurement had a linear range of 1-45 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.26 μM (3.3 δ/S). It was proved that the established colorimetric sensing system could be successfully applied to detect GSH in actual biological samples. Importantly, the outstanding reusability and stability made it extremely valuable as a catalyst. The present work implied that Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) synthesized in situ by the microwave-assisted method was a very promising candidate for biocatalyst and biosensing.

Abstract
Effective electronic interactions between molecular catalysts and supports are critical for heterogeneous enzyme mimics, yet they are frequently neglected in most catalyst designs. Taking the enzyme mimics of hemin immobilized on graphdiyne (Hemin-GDY) as an example, we explicate for the first time the underlying role of GDY as a co-catalyst. Based on the robust conjugation between GDY and hemin, the delocalized π-electrons in GDY act as a ligand for Fe ions so that the orbital interactions including electron transport from GDY → Fe can induce the formation of an electron-rich Fe center and an electron-deficient π-electron conjugated system. This mechanism was validated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Raman spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. Moreover, both EPR spetra and Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed that Hemin-GDY could efficiently catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce hydroxyl radical (•OH) and superoxide anion (O2•-) by a ping-pong type catalytic mechanism, and particularly, the catalytic activity was increased by 2.3-fold comparing to that of hemin immobilized on graphene (Hemin-GR). In addition, Hemin-GDY with the exceptional activity and stability was demonstrated for efficient catalytic degradation of organic pollutants under acidic conditions. Collectively, this work provides a theoretical basis for the design of GDY supported catalysts and renders great promises of the GDY based enzyme mimics.

Abstract
In view of the broad application prospect of peroxidase-like nanozymes in biomedical analysis, it is of great significance to eliminate the interference of their oxidase-like activity and enable them to work under neutral conditions. Herein, flower-like NiV2O6 was synthesized and their enzyme-mimicking activity was investigated. Through the regulation of pH, NiV2O6 nanozyme showed only peroxidase-like activity but not oxidase-like activity under neutral conditions, which could catalyze the oxidation of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine into its blue product in the presence of H2O2. Furthermore, based on the competitive effect of glutathione (GSH) on the catalytic activity of nanozymes, a semi-quantitative/quantitative colorimetric assay was established for GSH detection by using peroxidase-like NiV2O6. The assay exhibited a good linear relationship in GSH concentration ranging from 3-100 μmol L-1, with a detection limit of 0.89 μmol L-1. Moreover, in the presence of formaldehyde as masking agent, this method showed satisfactory specificity for GSH under the interference of a variety of interfering substances and even biothiols. Concerning the practical application, the system was applied to monitor GSH level in fetal bovine serum, human serum and SiHa cells. Satisfyingly, the obtained results were consistent well with those of Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and assay kit, indicating the constructed assay has great potential in clinical application.

Multifunctional lanthanide metal-organic framework based ratiometric fluorescence visual detection platform for alkaline phosphatase activity. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:236.

Abstract
A turn-on/off ratiometric fluorescence detection platform based on multifunctional lanthanide metal-organic framework (Ln-MOF) and an enzymatic cascade reaction is proposed for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay. L-phosphotyrosine is hydrolyzed to levodopa (L-dopa) by two steps of enzymatic reaction. L-dopa further reacts with naphthoresorcinol to produce carboxyazamonardine with strong emission at 490 nm. In this process, multifunctional Ln-MOF (Cu@Eu-BTC, BTC is the 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) acts not only as a nanozyme to catalyze the fluorogenic reaction between L-dopa and naphthoresorcinol but also as a fluorescence internal standard. The emission of Cu@Eu-BTC at 620 nm is quenched by phosphate anions, and the dual-response ratiometric fluorescence (F490/F620) can be achieved. A good linear relationship was obtained between Δ(F490/F620) and ALP activity in the range 0.3-24 U L-1 with the detection limit of 0.02 U L-1. In addition, a portable assay tube was designed for visual and point-of-care testing of ALP activity by color variation (ratiometric chromaticity). Both the ratiometric fluorescence detection and the visual detection methods were successfully applied to monitor ALP activity in human serum samples with recovery between 95.5%-109.0% and 94.0%-110.1%, and relative standard deviation less than 8.1% and 9.5%, respectively. As far as we know, this is the first report of ALP activity assay assisted by multifunctional Ln-MOF.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor based on Cu-hemin metal-organic-frameworks nanoflower/three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (Cu-hemin MOFs/3D-RGO) was constructed to detect H2O2 released from living cells. The nanocomposite was synthesized via a facile co-precipitation method using hemin as the ligand, then decorated with 3D-RGO. The prepared Cu-hemin MOFs showed a 3D hollow spherical flower-like structure with a large specific surface area and mesoporous properties, which could load more biomolecules and greatly enhance the stability by protecting the activity of hemin. In addition, the introduction of 3D-RGO effectively enhanced the conductivity of Cu-hemin MOFs. Thus, the proposed sensor (Cu-hemin MOFs/3D-RGO/GCE) showed excellent electrochemical performances towards H2O2 with a wide linear range (10-24,400 μM), high sensitivity (207.34 μA mM-1 cm-2), low LOD (0.14 μM), and rapid response time (less than 3 s). Most importantly, we prepared a Cu-hemin MOFs/3D-RGO/ITO electrode with cells growing on it. Compared with detecting H2O2 in cell suspension by GCE-based electrode, adhesion of cells on ITO could shorten the diffusion distance of H2O2 from solution to the surface of the electrode and achieve in situ and a real-time monitor of H2O2 released by living cells. This self-supported sensing electrode showed great potential applications in monitoring the pathological and physiological dynamics of cancer cells.

Abstract
AIM To explore the effects of Radix Sophorae Flavescentis carbonisata-based carbon dots (RSFC-CDs) on an ethanol-induced acute gastric ulcer rat model. METHODS The structure, optical properties, functional groups and elemental composition of RSFC-CDs synthesized by one-step pyrolysis were characterized. The gastric protective effects of RSFC-CDs were evaluated and confirmed by applying a rat model of ethanol-induced acute gastric ulcers. The underlying mechanisms were investigated through the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway and oxidative stress. RESULTS RSFC-CDs with a diameter ranging from 2-3 nm mainly showed gastric protective effects by reducing the levels of NF-κB, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) to inhibit ethanol-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. CONCLUSION RSFC-CDs have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, making them promising for application in ethanol-induced gastric injury.
