A photothermal aptasensor based on rolling circle amplification-enriched DNAzyme for portable detection of ochratoxin A in grape juice. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132279. [PMID: 38734344 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132279] [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: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Aptasensors for detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) have been extensively studied, but the majority of them require costly and large-scale equipment as signal readers. Herein, a photothermal aptasensor capable of portable detection of OTA through a thermometer was developed on basis of aptamer structural switching and rolling circle amplification (RCA)-enriched DNAzyme. Oligonucleotides and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) modified magnetic beads were prepared. The binding of aptamers to OTA led to the release of ALP labeled complementary DNA. After magnetic separation, ALP catalyzed the padlock dephosphorylation, inhibiting the subsequent RCA reaction. This process converted the OTA concentration into the amount of the photothermal reagent oxTMB produced from the catalytic reaction induced by RCA-enriched DNAzyme. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit (LOD) of this aptasensor was 2.28 nM in a clean buffer, while the LOD reached 2.43 nM in 2 % grape juice. The good performance of the photothermal aptasensor makes it possible to measure OTA pollution in low resource environments.

Abstract
During a stress condition, the human body synthesizes catecholamine neurotransmitters and specific hormones (called "stress hormones"), the most important of which is cortisol. The monitoring of cortisol levels is extremely important for controlling the stress levels. For this reason, it has important medical applications. Common analytical methods (HPLC, GC-MS) cannot be used in real life due to the bulkiness of the instruments and the necessity of specialized operators. Molecular probes solve this problem. This review aims to provide a description of recent developments in this field, focusing on the analytical aspects and the possibility to obtain real practical devices from these molecular probes.

Talanta 2024; 266:125010. [PMID: 37541008 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125010] [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: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/06/2023]
Abstract
The stressful conditions of today-life make it urgent the timely prevention and treatment of many physiological and psychological disorders related to stress. According to the significant progress made in the near future, rapid, accurate, and on-spot measurement of cortisol hormone as a dominant stress biomarker using miniaturized digital devices is not far from expected. With a special potency in the fields of diagnosis and healthcare monitoring, aptamer-mediated biosensors (aptasensors) are promising for the quantitative monitoring of cortisol levels in the different matrices (sweat, saliva, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, blood serum, etc.). Accordingly, this in-depth study reviews the superior achievements in the aptasensing strategies to detect cortisol hormone with the synergism of diverse two/three dimensional nanostructured materials, enzymatic amplification components, and antibody motifs. The represented discussions offer a universal perspective to achieve lab-on-chip aptasensing arrays as future user-friendly skin-patchable electronic gadgets for on-site and real-time quantification of cortisol levels.
