Simultaneous detection of dual microRNAs related to EV71 using ICP-MS based on metal nanoparticle labeling with hybridization chain reaction. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1294:342272. [PMID: 38336408 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342272] [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: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hand, foot, and mouth (HMFD) disease caused by enterovirus 71 (EV 71), is closely associated with severe clinical manifestations and can be deadly. Early detection of EV 71 can be achieved by detecting the increment in miR296 and miR16 in the serum. Using HCR to amplify signals and convert biological signals into metal nanoparticle signals detectable by ICP-MS is a detection method that can collect more accurate and reliable information, compared with traditional methods, in the detection of biological samples. RESULTS We described a strategy for the simultaneous detection of miR296 and miR16 by ICP-MS based on metal nanoparticles (NPs) labeling with HCR. Briefly, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and magnetic beads (MBs), as well as NPs and signal probes for miRNA (Sp-miR) were firstly conjugated via the streptavidin-biotin recognition system, constituting ssDNA-MBs and NPs-Sp-miR complex, respectively. The latter complex then hybridized with the former through HCR, generating the nanosensors for targets. Then, the targets were added and hybridized with ssDNA, and the HCR complex with NPs was released into the solution. Finally, the corresponding signals of the NPs were measured by ICP-MS. Results demonstrated that the developed method had good sensitivity and satisfactory selectivity and precision. Furthermore, when applied to biological samples with a complex matrix, the developed method also showed good recovery (88 % - 92 %) and reproducibility (RSD<10 %). SIGNIFICANCE This method contributes to the early diagnosis of HFMD and opens up ideas for the further development of high-throughput biomarker detection. The strategy has practical potential for miR296 and miR16 detection in biological samples and provides a promising tool for multiple miRNA detection.

A Target-Triggered Emission Enhancement Strategy Based on a Y-Shaped DNA Fluorescent Nanoprobe with Aggregation-Induced Emission Characteristic for microRNA Imaging in Living Cells. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052149. [PMID: 36903393 PMCID: PMC10004006 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
DNA self-assembled fluorescent nanoprobes have been developed for bio-imaging owing to their high resistance to enzyme degradation and great cellular uptake capacity. In this work, we designed a new Y-shaped DNA fluorescent nanoprobe (YFNP) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic for microRNA imaging in living cells. With the modification of the AIE dye, the constructed YFNP had a relatively low background fluorescence. However, the YFNP could emit a strong fluorescence due to the generation of microRNA-triggered AIE effect in the presence of target microRNA. Based on the proposed target-triggered emission enhancement strategy, microRNA-21 was detected sensitively and specifically with a detection limit of 122.8 pM. The designed YFNP showed higher bio-stability and cell uptake than the single-stranded DNA fluorescent probe, which has been successfully applied for microRNA imaging in living cells. More importantly, the microRNA-triggered dendrimer structure could be formed after the recognition of target microRNA, achieving a reliable microRNA imaging with a high spatiotemporal resolution. We expect that the proposed YFNP will become a promising candidate for bio-sensing and bio-imaging.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized three new berberine-based compounds, namely, pyridine-2,6-dimethyl-/2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dimethyl-tethered berberine dimers BD1 and BD2, and a tetrakis(4-benzyl)ethylene linked berberine tetramer BD4. We identified that the dimer BD2 and tetramer BD4, as well as 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dimethyl-linked berberine dimer BD3 previously reported by us, showed remarkable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties which endowed them with higher singlet oxygen (1O2) production ability than berberine. Of the four compounds, BD3 exhibits the lowest ΔEST energy with the highest 1O2 generation ability and thus was selected for further construction of AuNSs-BD3@HA (denoted as ABH, AuNSs = gold nanostars; HA = hyaluronic acid). The nanosystem of ABH shows a remarkable therapeutic effect toward breast cancer by combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) from BD3, photothermal therapy (PTT) from AuNSs, and the CD44-targeting capability of HA. The synergistically enhanced PDT and PTT induce superior cancer cell apoptosis/necrosis in vitro and anti-breast cancer activity in vivo. This study provides a new concept for PDT using natural product derivatives and their combination with PTT for efficient treatment of tumors.

Abstract
The poor water solubility and severe side effects of hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) limit its clinical application; therefore, it is necessary to synthesize applicable nanodrug carriers with good solubility to expand the applications of HCPT. In this study, a hydrophilic metal-organic framework (MOF) with amphoteric carboxylic acid ligands as linkers was first synthesized and characterized. Then, water-soluble acrylamide and methacrylic acid were applied as monomers to prepare a water-soluble polyacid polymer MOF@P, which had a solubility of 370 μg/mL. The effects of the MOF@P material on the HCPT loading and solubility were investigated. The results showed that the polymer material could improve the HCPT solubility in water. Moreover, the in vitro release study indicated that the MOF@P polymeric composite exhibited a sustained-release effect on HCPT, with a cumulative release rate of 30.18% in 72 h at pH 7.4. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity test demonstrated that the hydrophilic MOF and the MOF@P had low cell toxicities. The results indicate that the prepared MOF@P polymeric complex can be applied for the sustained release of HCPT in clinics.
