Abstract
Exosomes, extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, play a crucial role in intercellular communication by transferring information from source cells to recipient cells. These vesicles carry important biomarkers, including nucleic acids and proteins, which provide valuable insights into the parent cells' status. As a result, exosomes have emerged as noninvasive indicators for the early diagnosis of cancer. Colorimetric biosensors have garnered significant attention due to their cost-effectiveness, simplicity, rapid response, and reproducibility. In this study, we employ sporopollenin microcapsules (SP), a natural biopolymer material derived from pollen, as a substrate for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). By modifying the SP-Au complex with CD63 aptamers, we develop a label-free colorimetric biosensor for exosome detection. In the absence of exosomes, the SP-Au complex catalyzes the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), resulting in a color change from colorless to blue. However, the addition of exosomes inhibits the catalytic activity of the SP-Au complex due to coverage of exosomes on AuNPs. This colorimetric biosensor exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for exosome detection, with a detection limit of 10 particles/μL and a wide linear range of 10 - 108 particles/μL. Additionally, the SP-Au biosensor demonstrates remarkable resistance to serum protein adsorption and excellent catalytic stability even in harsh environments, making it highly suitable for clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Exosomes have significant functions in intercellular communication, as well as in tumor migration and invasion. Nevertheless, the precise identification of exosomes poses a significant obstacle due to their low abundance in biofluids and potential disruption caused by free protein molecules, such as CD63 protein. In this study, we have developed a signal amplification method for precise detection of exosomes using a proximity ligation hybridization triggered structure-switching approach. The method involves the dual-recognition of exosomes by two probes: an aptamer probe that recognizes the exosomal surface protein CD63 (L1 probe), and a cholesterol probe that targets the biolipid layer of the exosomes (L2 probe). Based on the dual-recognition of exosomes, we have successfully developed an accurate and sensitive approach that integrates the proximity ligation hybridization technique with a structure-switching based signal cycle. This approach allows for the simultaneous analysis of two biomarkers, enabling both quantification and tracing of exosomes without the need for enzymes. Eventually, the proposed method exhibits a wide detection range of 5 orders of magnitude and a low limit of detection of 36 particles per μL, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the fields of biological science, biomedical engineering, and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Exosomes are 30-150 nm vesicles derived from diverse cell types, serving as one of the most important biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. However, the conventional detection method for exosomes faces significant challenges, such as unsatisfactory sensitivity, complicated operation, and the requirement of complicated devices. In recent years, colorimetric exosome biosensors with a visual readout underwent rapid development due to the advances in natural enzyme-based assays and the integration of various types of nanozymes. These synthetic nanomaterials show unique physiochemical properties and catalytic abilities, enabling the construction of exosome colorimetric biosensors with novel principles. This review will illustrate the reaction mechanisms and properties of natural enzymes and nanozymes, followed by a detailed introduction of the recent advances in both types of enzyme-based colorimetric biosensors. A comparison between natural enzymes and nanozymes is made to provide insights into the research that improves the sensitivity and convenience of assays. Finally, the advantages, challenges, and future directions of enzymes as well as exosome colorimetric biosensors are highlighted, aiming at improving the overall performance from different approaches.

Abstract
Signal amplification is a powerful approach to increasing the detection sensitivity of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Here, we developed synergistic multieffect catalytic strategies based on CuCo2O4 nanorod combination of Ag NPs as coreaction accelerators to fabricate an efficient covalent organic framework (PTCA-COF)-based ternary ECL biosensor. Concretely, the high redox reversibility of Co3+/Co2+ and Cu2+/Cu+ would constantly promote the decomposition of S2O82- for ECL emission. Meanwhile, the introduction of Ag NPs with excellent electrocatalytic activity further realized multiple amplification of the ECL signal. Furthermore, the good hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) ability of Ag@CuCo2O4 nanorods could accelerate the proton transmission rate of the system to amplify ECL behavior. In the presence of the target synthetic cathinone 4-chloroethcathinone (4-CEC) as the quenching ECL signal-response probe, the Ferrocene (Fc)-labeled aptamer folded into the conformationally limited stem-loop structure, bringing Fc near the ECL luminophore and resulting in quenched ECL emission. The quenching effect was connected with target-induced aptamer conformational changes and consequently reflected the target concentration. Under optimum conditions, the proposed biosensor realized a highly sensitive assay for 4-CEC with a large dynamic range from 1.0 × 10-12 to 1.0 × 10-6 g/L and a detection limit as low as 2.5 × 10-13 g/L. This study integrated multiple amplification strategies for efficient ECL enhancement, which provided a novel approach to constructing highly bioactive and sensitive sensors.

Abstract
Exosomes are a kind of extracellular vesicles, which play a significant role in intercellular communication and molecular exchange. Cancer-derived exosomes are potential and ideal biomarkers for the early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of cancers because of their abundant biological information and contribution to the interaction between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. However, there are a number of drawbacks, such as low sensitivity and tedious steps, in conventional detection techniques. Furthermore, exosome quantification is not enough to accurately distinguish cancer patients from healthy individuals. Therefore, developing efficient, accurate, and inexpensive exosome surface protein analysis techniques is necessary and critical. In recent years, a considerable number of researchers have presented novel detection strategies in this field. This review summarizes the recent progress in quantitative technologies for the analysis of cancer-related exosome proteins, mainly including the detection methods based on aptamers, nanomaterials, and antibodies, discusses a roadmap for future developments, and aims to offer an innovative perspective of exosome research.

Abstract
Tumor-derived exosomes are considered as a potential marker in liquid biopsy for malignant tumor screening. The development of a sensitive, specific, rapid, and cost-effective detection strategy for tumor-derived exosomes is still a challenge. Herein, a visualized and easy detection method for exosomes was established based on a molybdenum disulfide nanoflower decorated iron organic framework (MoS2-MIL-101(Fe)) hybrid nanozyme-based CD63 aptamer sensor. The CD63 aptamer, which can specifically recognize and capture tumor-derived exosomes, enhanced the peroxidase activity of the hybrid nanozyme and helped to catalyze the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 system to generate a stronger colorimetric signal, with its surface modification on the hybrid nanozyme. With the existence of exosomes, CD63 aptamer recognized and adsorbed them on the surface of the nanozyme, which rescued the enhanced peroxidase activity of the aptamer-modified nanozyme, resulting in a deep-to-moderate color change in the TMB-H2O2 system where the change is visible and can be monitored with ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. In the context of optimal circumstances, the linear range of this exosome detection method is measured to be 1.6 × 104 to 1.6 × 106 particles/μL with a limit of detection as 3.37 × 103 particles/μL. Generally, a simple and accessible approach to exosome detection is constructed, and a nanozyme-based colorimetric aptamer sensor is proposed, which sheds light on novel oncological biomarker measurements in the field of biosensors.

Abstract
An aptamer-based field-effect transistor (Apta-FET) is a well-developed assay method with high selectivity and sensitivity. Due to the limited information density that natural nucleotide library holds, the Apta-FET faces fundamental restriction in universality to detect various types of analytes. Herein, we demonstrate a type of Apta-FET sensors based on an artificial nucleotide aptamer (AN-Apta-FET). The introduction of an artificial nucleotide increases the diversity of the potential aptamer structure and expands the analyte category of the Apta-FET. The AN-Apta-FET specifically detects hepatoma exosomes, which traditional Apta-FET fails to discriminate from other tumor-derived exosomes, with a limit of detection down to 242 particles mL-1. The AN-Apta-FET distinguishes serum samples of hepatocellular carcinoma patients within 9 min from those of healthy people, showing the potential as a comprehensive assay tool in future disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Multi-functionalized carbon nanomaterials have attracted interest owing to their excellent synergic properties, such as plasmon resonance energy transfer and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Particularly, nanoparticle (NP)-decorated graphene (GRP) has been applied in various fields. In this study, silver NP (AgNP)- and magnetic iron oxide NP (IONP)-decorated GRP were prepared and utilized as biosensing platforms. In this case, AgNPs and GRP exhibit plasmonic properties, whereas IONPs exhibit magnetic properties; therefore, this hybrid nanomaterial could function as a magnetoplasmonic substrate for the magnetofluoro-immunosensing (MFI) system. Conversely, exosomes were recently considered high-potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of diseases. However, exosome diagnostic use requires complex isolation and purification methods. Nevertheless, we successfully detected a prostate-cancer-cell-derived exosome (PC-exosome) from non-purified exosomes in a culture media sample using Ag/IO-GRP and dye-tetraspanin antibodies (Ab). First, the anti-prostate-specific antigen was immobilized on the Ag/IO-GRP and it could isolate the PC-exosome from the sample via an external magnetic force. Dye-tetraspanin Ab was added to the sample to induce the sandwich structure. Based on the number of exosomes, the fluorescence intensity from the dye varied and the system exhibited highly sensitive and selective performance. Consequently, these hybrid materials exhibited excellent potential for biosensing platforms.

Abstract
Because breast cancer cells such as MCF-7, exhibit vital and developmental signs by exosome secretion, diagnosing them in the blood can provide a good index of the presence of breast cancer. However, accurate and inexpensive detection of exosomes in clinical practice faces challenges. Therefore, in the presents study, an aptasensor based on CD63 aptameriron oxide-copper ion nanozymes (Fe₃O₄-Cu2+-NZs) was designed with the ability of the CD63 aptamer to interact with the exosome and the release of the Fe₃O₄-Cu2+-NZs for peroxidase-like activity on the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). After fabrication of CD63 aptamer-Fe₃O₄-Cu2+-NZs based on hydrothermal method, their physicochemical properties were investigated with the SEM, TEM, DLS, Zeta, XRD and magnetization. To investigate the interaction of CD63 aptamer-Fe₃O₄-Cu2+-NZs with exosomes, the required exosomes were extracted from cultured MCF-7 cells. The performance of CD63 aptamer-Fe₃O₄-Cu2+-NZs on TMB degradation in the presence and absence of exosomes was investigated through UV-vis adsorption and ocular observations based on colour changes on laboratory and real samples. The results show that the absence of exosomes significantly inhibited the peroxidase-like activity of CD63 aptamer-Fe₃O₄-Cu2+-NZs due to the aptamer coating. Under optimal conditions, the designed CD63 aptamer-Fe₃O₄-Cu2+-NZs is capable of detecting exosomes in the range of 1.4 × 10⁴-5.6 × 105 particles/μL with a detection limit of 5.91 × 10³ particles/μL. Also, this method showed a satisfactory outcome in detection of cancer cells in real samples. Overall, this colorimetric aptasensor can be used to diagnose breast cancer cells based on a simple and inexpensive approach.

Translating cancer exosomes detection into the color change of phenol red based on target-responsive DNA microcapsules. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1192:339357. [PMID: 35057959 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that exosomes can be used as a potential biomarker for monitoring diseases, including cancer. However, enhancing the sensing performance in terms of convenience and sensitivity remains an urgent demand for exosomes detection. In this study, a pH-sensitive colorimetric biosensing strategy was developed for exosomes detection by integrating stimuli-responsive DNA microcapsules and acetylcholinesterase to produce acetic acid. The constructed DNA microcapsules consisted of DNA shells crosslinked by anti-CD63 aptamers and loaded with acetylcholinesterase. With exosomes addition, an energetically stabilized aptamer-CD63 compound was produced and microcapsules dissociated due to the reaction of surface protein CD63 of exosomes and aptamer of CD63, resulting in the release of encapsulated AChE. Through a simple centrifugation separation, unreacted DNA microcapsules were removed and the supernatant containing released acetylcholinesterase collected, which was then used for colorimetric exosomes detection through the ability of acetylcholinesterase to hydrolyze acetylcholine to release acetic acid. The resulting decreased solution pH was detected with phenol red indicator, with the sharp color transition conveniently by naked eye. Exosomes quantification was also achieved using the solution's absorption intensity ratio of 558 vs. 432 nm. The linear range was from 2.0 × 103 to 5.0 × 105 particles/μL, and the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 1.2 × 103 particles/μL and 2.2 × 103 particles/μL, respectively. In addition, this proposed strategy for exosomes detection showed a relative standard deviation of 3.1% and high recovery efficiency (>94%), exhibiting a bright application future in exsomes analysis.

Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1191:339279. [PMID: 35033266 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Exosomes are promising biomarkers for cancer screening, but the development of a robust approach that can sensitively and accurately detect exosomes remains challenging. In the present study, an aptasensor based on the multifunctional signal probe 10-benzyl-2-amino-acridone (BAA) was developed for the colorimetric and photoelectrochemical detection and quantitation of exosomes. Exosomes are captured by cholesterol DNA anchor-modified magnetic beads (MBs) through hydrophobic interactions. This capture process can be monitored under a confocal fluorescence microscope using BAA as the fluorescent signal probe. The aptamer modified copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) then bind to mucin 1 (MUC1) on the surface of the exosomes to form a sandwich structure (MBs-Exo-CuO NPs). Finally, the MBs-Exo-CuO NPs are dissolved in nitric acid to generate Cu2+, which inhibits the visible-light-induced oxidase mimic activity and photoelectrochemical activity of BAA simultaneously. The changes in absorbance and photocurrent intensities are directly proportional to the concentration of exosomes. In this dual-modal aptasensor, the colorimetric assay can achieve rapid screening and identification, which is especially useful for point-of-care testing. The UV-vis absorbance and photocurrent assays then provide quantitative information, with a limit of detection of 1.09 × 103 particles μL-1 and 1.38 × 103 particles μL-1, respectively. The proposed aptasensor thus performs dual-modal detection and quantitation of exosomes. This aptasensor provides a much-needed toolset for exploring the biological roles of exosomes in specific diseases, particularly in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Exosomes are highly important in clinical diagnosis due to their high homology with their parental cells. However, conventional exosome detection methods still face the challenges of expensive equipment, low sensitivity, and complex procedures. Field effect transistors (FETs) are not only the most essential electronic component in the modern microelectronics industry but also show great potential for biomolecule detection owing to the advantages of rapid response, high sensitivity, and label-free detection. In this study, we proposed a Si nanowire field-effect transistor (Si-NW Bio-FET) device chemically modified with specific antibodies for the electrical and label-free detection of exosomes. The Si-NW FETs were fabricated by standard microelectronic processes with 45 nm width nanowires and packaged in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channel. The nanowires were further modified with the specific CD63 antibody to form a Si-NW Bio-FET. The use of the developed Si-NW Bio-FET for the electrical and label-free detection of exosomes was successfully demonstrated with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2159 particles/mL. In contrast to other technologies, in this study, Si-NW Bio-FET provides a unique strategy for directly quantifying and real-time detecting exosomes without labeling, indicating its potential as a tool for the early diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed types of cancer in women. Metastasis, particularly to the lungs and brain, increases mortality in breast cancer patients. Recently, breast cancer-related exosomes have received significant attention because of their key role in breast cancer progression. As a result, numerous exosome-based therapeutic tools for diagnosis and treatment have been developed, and their biological and chemical mechanisms have been explored. This review summarizes up-to-date advanced key findings and technologies in breast cancer progression, diagnostics, and targeting. We focused on recent research on the basic biology of exosomes and disease-related exosomal genes and proteins, as well as their signal transduction in cell-to-cell communications, diagnostic markers, and exosome-based antibreast cancer technologies. We also paid special attention to technologies employing exosomes modified with functional peptides for the targeted delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents.

Abstract
The multicolor-based point-of-care testing (POCT) of tumor cell-derived exosomes is of vital importance for understanding tumor growth and metastasis. Multicolor-based ratiometric signals most often rely on molecular optics, such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-dependent molecular fluorescence and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-related molecular colorimetry. However, finding acceptable FRET donor-acceptor fluorophore pairs and the kinetically slow color responses during size-related molecular colorimetry have greatly impeded POCT applications. Herein, an atomic flame was used to develop a visual sensing platform for the POCT of tumor-cell-derived exosomes. In comparison with common molecular optics, the atomic flame possessed the advantages of providing both a variety of ratiometric flame signals and fast response sensitivity. The integration of a gas-pressure-assisted flame reaction and dual-aptamer recognition guaranteed the sensitive and selective analysis of exosomes with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.6 × 102 particles per mL. Such a novel optical signal will inspire the development of more user-friendly POCT approaches.

Abstract
Exosomes with diameters of 30-150 nm are small membrane-bound vesicles secreted by a variety of cells. They play an important role in many biological processes, such as tumor-related immune response and intercellular signal transduction. Exosomes have been considered as emerging and noninvasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Recently, a large number of optical and electrochemical biosensors have been proposed for sensitive detection of exosomes. To meet the increasing demands for ultrasensitive detection, nanomaterials have been integrated with various techniques as powerful components. Because of their intrinsic merits of biological compatibility, excellent physicochemical features and unique catalytic ability, nanomaterials have significantly improved the analytical performances of exosome biosensors. In this review, we summarized the recent progress in nanomaterials-based biosensors for the detection of cancer-derived exosomes, including fluorescence, colorimetry, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence and so on.

Abstract
Various research groups have been paying huge attention to tune the metal states in metal-carbon hybrid materials. Herein, a mixed-valence copper-iodine co-doped carbon dots (Cu,I-CDs, Cu2+/Cu+/Cu0) were prepared through a one-step hydrothermal method, which displayed an intrinsic reduction performance under given conditions. Moreover, AuNPs/Cu,I-CDs composite was fabricated using Cu,I-CDs as reductant and stabilizer. Among them, the AuNPs/Cu,I-CDs composite exhibited the highest oxidase- and peroxidase-like activities, which was used for the colorimetric detection of tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), with the detection limits of 23.45 μg/kg. Interestingly, the catalytic oxidation of TBHQ to oxidized TBHQ (TQ) could be inhibited by formaldehyde (HCHO). Therefore, a colorimetric sensor for HCHO was developed with the detection limit 0.335 mg/L. The catalytic mechanism for TBHQ was investigated by employing scavengers of different reactive species, indicating the significant roles of •O2- in the catalytic process. Therefore, it is believed that the as-prepared AuNPs/Cu,I-CDs nanozyme has promising potential applications in the fields of biomedicine and food safety.

Abstract
As part of the biomimetic enzyme field, nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes, or nanozymes, have been recognized as highly stable and low-cost alternatives to their natural counterparts. The discovery of enzyme-like activities in nanomaterials triggered a broad range of designs with various composition, size, and shape. An overview of the properties of nanozymes is given, including some examples of enzyme mimics for multiple biosensing approaches. The limitations of nanozymes regarding lack of selectivity and low catalytic efficiency may be surpassed by their easy surface modification, and it is possible to tune specific properties. From this perspective, molecularly imprinted polymers have been successfully combined with nanozymes as biomimetic receptors conferring selectivity and improving catalytic performance. Compelling works on constructing imprinted polymer layers on nanozymes to achieve enhanced catalytic efficiency and selective recognition, requisites for broad implementation in biosensing devices, are reviewed. Multimodal biomimetic enzyme-like biosensing platforms can offer additional advantages concerning responsiveness to different microenvironments and external stimuli. Ultimately, progress in biomimetic imprinted nanozymes may open new horizons in a wide range of biosensing applications.
