A novel fully enzymatic method for determining glucose and 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol in serum of one cuvette

Nanozyme-mediated cascade reaction system for electrochemical detection of 1,5-anhydroglucitol

Diabetes is one of metabolic diseases affecting major human health. The early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes have significant benefits. 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) accurately reflects a patient's average blood glucose level for the past 3-7 days and becomes a promising marker for real-time detection of diabetes. In this study, a novel biosensor for determination 1,5-AG is constructed using reduce graphene oxide-carboxymethylated chitosan-hemin@platinum nanocomposites (rGO-CMC-H@Pt NCs) nanozyme and pyranose oxidase (PROD) enzyme as the electrochemical biosensing platform. The rGO-CMC-H@Pt NCs nanozyme has good electro-conductibility, high specific surface area, and admirable peroxide-like catalysis effect to enhance the electrochemical response. 1,5-AG is catalyzed by PROD and produces hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which in turn can be decomposed by rGO-CMC-H@Pt NCs and produce a current signal recorded by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. Under optimal conditions, the response currents have a linear relationship in the 1,5-AG concentration of 0.1-2.0 mg/mL with R² of 0.9869. The sensitivity is 2.1895 μA/μg·mL^-1 and the limit of detection (LOD) is 38.2 μg/mL (S/N = 3). In addition, the specificity, reproducibility, stability and recovery (94.5-107.6%) of 1,5-AG biosensors all exhibit good performance. Therefore, the designed 1,5-AG biosensor has a good effect and can be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.

1,5-anhydroglucitol biosensor based on light-addressable potentiometric sensor with RGO-CS-Fc/Au NPs nanohybrids

In this paper, a novel silicon-based light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) has been designed for the detection of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) in human serum. Reduced graphene oxide-chitosan-ferrocene (RGO-CS-Fc)/AuNPs nanohybrids and pyranose oxidase (PROD) enzyme is used to fabricate biological sensitive membrane unit by layer-by-layer assembly technology. When a bias voltage is provided to the LAPS system, the catalytic oxidation reaction between 1,5-AG and PROD to produce H₂O₂. The by-product H₂O₂ can oxidize Fc(Fe²⁺) ions in RGO-CS-Fc nanohybrids into Fc(Fe³⁺) ions, which cause the potential of the sensitive membrane surface to change and the potential shift of I-V curve will generate a corresponding offset response. Under the optimal conditions, the potential shift of the LAPS is linearly related to the concentration of 1,5-AG at 10 µg·mL^-1 -350 µg·mL^-1 with the correlation coefficient of 0.97414. The sensitivity is 0.44273 mV/µg·mL^-1 and the lowest detection limit is 10 µg·mL^-1. In addition, the biosensor showed good specificity, acceptable stability and satisfactory recovery rates (91.28%-107.66%), which would be a potential testing methods in actual clinical samples.

Single Amino Acid Mutation of Pyranose 2-Oxidase Results in Increased Specificity for Diabetes Biomarker 1,5-Anhydro-D-Glucitol

Pyranose 2-oxidases catalyze the oxidation of various pyranose sugars at the C2 position. However, their potential application for detecting sugars other than glucose in blood is hindered by relatively high activity towards glucose. In this study, in order to find a mutant enzyme with enhanced specificity for 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG), which is a biomarker for diabetes mellitus, we conducted site-directed mutagenesis of pyranose 2-oxidase from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium ( Pc POX). Considering the three-dimensional structure of the substrate-binding site of Pc POX and the structural difference between glucose and 1,5-AG, we selected alanine 551 of Pc POX as a target residue for mutation. Kinetic studies of the 19 mutants of Pc POX expressed as recombinant proteins in E. coli revealed that the ratio of k _cat / K _m for 1,5-AG to k _cat / K _m for glucose was three times higher for the A551L mutant than for wild-type Pc POX. Although the A551L mutant has lower specific activity towards each substrate than the wild-type enzyme, its increased specificity for 1,5-AG makes it a promising lead for the development of POX-based 1,5-AG detection systems.

Paper-based 1,5-anhydroglucitol quantification using enzyme-based glucose elimination

The monosaccharide 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) is a known indicator of glucose levels. Conventional 1,5-AG quantification methods with enzyme-based sensors using pyranose oxidase (PROD) require elimination of interference from the sample (a laborious and time-consuming process), as PROD cannot distinguish 1,5-AG from other sugars. We developed a one-step paper-based sensor for detecting 1,5-AG using glucose oxidase, catalase, and mutarotase that eliminates excess glucose, which interferes with 1,5-AG detection. This sensor consists of two compartments for the quantification of glucose and 1,5-AG and reflects the concentration of these targets after reaction with water or spiked human urine. The limit of detection of the sensor was 0.9 mg dL-1 for glucose and 3.2 μg mL-1 for 1,5-AG.

Data for serum 1,5 anhydroglucitol concentration in different populations

1,5 anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), is a nonmetabolized 1-deoxy form of glucose, originate mainly from the diet. 1,5-AG is a biomarker to detect and magnify hyperglycemic excursions (postprandial hyperglycemia) in diabetic patients. Concentrations of 1,5-AG has been applied as supporting biomarker to diagnosis of the major forms of diabetes (type 1, type 2, and gestational). The serum 1,5-AG reference interval is relevant to the appropriate clinical application of this biomarker. This article contains data regards to serum concentration of the biomarker primarily for healthy subjects, capture from the literature, in different populations. Correlation analysis between 1,5-AG and markers associated with diabetes and its complication were presented. The data was complementary to the study “Reference intervals for serum 1,5-anhydroglucitol in children, adolescents, adults, and pregnant women” (Welter et al., 2018). The data present in this article improve the comparisons for 1,5-AG in different conditions and methodologies.
