Abstract
Immunoassay, as the most commonly used method for protein detection, is simple to operate and highly specific. Sensitivity improvement is always the thrust of immunoassays, especially for the detection of trace quantities. The emergence of artificial enzyme, i.e., DNAzyme, provides a novel approach to improve the detection sensitivity of immunoassay. Simultaneously, its advantages of simple synthesis and high stability enable low cost, broad applicability and long shelf life for immunoassay. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in DNAzyme-based immunoassay. First, we summarized the existing different DNAzymes based on their catalytic activities. Next, the common signal amplification strategies used for DNAzyme-based immunoassays were reviewed to cater to diverse detection requirements. Following, the wide applications in disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food safety were discussed. Finally, the current challenges and perspectives on the future development of DNAzyme-based immunoassays were also provided.

Concatenated dynamic DNA network modulated SERS aptasensor based on gold-magnetic nanochains and Au@Ag nanoparticles for enzyme-free amplification analysis of tetracycline. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1270:341238. [PMID: 37311605 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) poses a great threat to food and environmental safety due to its misuse in animal husbandry and aquaculture. Therefore, an efficient analytical method is needed for the detection of TC to prevent possible hazards. Herein, a cascade amplification SERS aptasensor for sensitive determination of TC was constructed based on aptamer, enzyme-free DNA circuits, and SERS technology. The capture probe and signal probe were obtained by binding DNA hairpins H1 and H2 to the prepared Fe3O4@hollow-TiO2/Au nanochains (Fe3O4@h-TiO2/Au NCs) and Au@4-MBA@Ag nanoparticles, respectively. The dual amplification of EDC-CHA circuits significantly facilitated the sensitivity of the aptasensor. Additionally, the introduction of Fe3O4 simplified the operation of the sensing platform due to its superb magnetic capability. Under optimal conditions, the developed aptasensor exhibited a distinct linear response to TC with a low limit of detection of 15.91 pg mL-1. Furthermore, the proposed cascaded amplification sensing strategy exhibited excellent specificity and storage stability, and its practicability and reliability were verified by TC detection of real samples. This study provides a promising idea for the development of specific and sensitive signal amplification analysis platforms in the field of food safety.

[PMID: 36841017 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124374] [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: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023]
Abstract
Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein commonly expressed in epithelial cells with stable levels and polarized distribution. Their expression levels and spatial distribution abnormally altered during oncogenesis and play tumor-promoting roles synergistically. We herein propose a magnetic DNAzyme walker (MDW) for both in-situ imaging and sensitive detection of MUC1. This MDW was constructed by modifying specially designed track strands (TSs) and walking strands (WSs) on a streptavidin magnetic bead (SA-MB). The TSs contained cleavage sites for DNAzymes and were labeled with Cy3 at free ends. The WSs contained DNAzyme sequences and were firstly blocked by hybridizing with Cy5-labeled aptamers of MUC1. The DNAzymes were unlocked upon aptamers binding to MUC1 on cells. MDWs were then transferred to a buffer suitable for DNAzyme action, where the unlocked DNAzymes cleaved multiple TSs, releasing amplified Cy3-fragments, which were separated from the uncleaved ones by magnetic separation. In-situ imaging of MUC1 were achieved by the fluorescence of Cy5 on aptamers bound to MUC1. Sensitive detection of MUC1 were achieved by the amplified fluorescence of released Cy3. In-situ imaging and walker operation for detection were triggered by the same targets at the same time, ensuring the signals are real-time correlative. Moreover, MDWs' operation was separated from cells, reducing interference between imaging and detection. The proposed MDW offers a potential approach for comprehensive analysis of MUC1 in early diagnosis and progression assessment of tumor.

Abstract
Catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) appears to be a particularly appealing nucleic acid circuit because of its powerful amplification capability, simple protocols, and enzyme-free and isothermal conditions, and can combine with various signal output modes for the biosensing of various analytes. Especially in the last five years, vast CHA related studies have sprung up. With the deep exploration of the CHA mechanism, some novel and excellent CHA strategies have been proposed; meanwhile the CHA cascade strategies with various amplification techniques further improve the analysis performance. Furthermore, diverse CHA based biosensors have been tactfully engineered and extensively employed in imaging applications in living cells and in vivo ascribed to its gentle reaction, efficient amplification and universality. Hence, we present a comprehensive and systematic summary of the progress in CHA and its application in bioimaging and biomedicine to date. At first, we introduced the mechanism and diversification of CHA in detail, including the newly developed CHA and its ingenious combination with a variety of other technologies. Concurrently, we summarized the latest application progress of different CHA strategies in bioimaging and biomedicine, highlighting the merits and drawbacks of representative approaches. Finally, we put forward some views on the challenges and prospects of CHA in bioimaging and biomedicine in the future.
