Abstract
Heparin, being a widely employed anticoagulant in numerus clinical complications, requires strict quantification and qualitative screening to ensure the safety of patients from potential threat of thrombocytopenia. However, the intricacy of heparin's chemical structures and low abundance hinders the precise monitoring of its level and quality in clinical settings. Conventional laboratory assays have limitations in sensitivity and specificity, necessitating the development of innovative approaches. In this context, nanosensors emerged as a promising solution due to enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and ability to detect heparin even at low concentrations. This review delves into a range of sensing approaches including colorimetric, fluorometric, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques using different types of nanomaterials, thus providing insights of its principles, capabilities, and limitations. Moreover, integration of smart-phone with nanosensors for point of care diagnostics has also been explored. Additionally, recent advances in nanopore technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have been discussed offering specificity against contaminants present in heparin to ensure its quality. By consolidating current knowledge and highlighting the potential of nanosensors, this review aims to contribute to the advancement of efficient, reliable, and economical heparin detection methods providing improved patient care.

Oxidative Stimuli-Responsive "Pollen-Like" Exosomes from Silver Nanoflowers Remodeling Diabetic Wound Microenvironment for Accelerating Wound Healing. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2300456. [PMID: 37178055 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202300456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
The hostile oxidative wound microenvironment, defective angiogenesis, and uncontrolled release of therapeutic factors are major challenges in improving the diabetic wound healing. Herein, adipose-derived-stem-cell-derived exosomes (Exos) are first loaded into Ag@bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoflowers (Exos-Ag@BSA NFs) to form a protective "pollen-flower" delivery structure, which are further encapsulated into the injectable collagen (Col) hydrogel (Exos-Ag@BSA NFs/Col) for concurrent remodeling of the oxidative wound microenvironment and precise release of Exos. The Exos-Ag@BSA NFs can selectively dissociate in an oxidative wound microenvironment, which triggers sustained release of Ag ions (Ag+ ) and cascades controllable release of "pollen-like" Exos at the target site, thus protecting Exos from oxidative denaturation. Such a wound-microenvironment-activated release property of Ag+ and Exos effectively eliminates bacteria and promotes the apoptosis of impaired oxidative cells, resulting in improved regenerative microenvironment. Additionally, Exos-Ag@BSA NFs/Col markedly accelerates wound healing and regeneration in vivo in a diabetic murine silicone-splinted excisional wound model by promoting blood perfusion, tissue granulation, collagen deposition, neovascularization, angiogenesis, and re-epithelization. It is anticipated that this work will inspire the development of more delicate and disease-specific therapeutic systems for clinical wound management.

Single-step controlled synthesis of flower-like gold nanoparticles stabilized by chitosan for sensitive detection of heparin using a surface-enhanced Raman scattering method. RSC Adv 2022; 12:34831-34842. [PMID: 36540228 PMCID: PMC9724128 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra06528b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
A novel single-step and template-free procedure, including controlled synthesis of gold flowers (AuNFs), conjugation to a 4-MBA reporter, and stabilization with chitosan, is proposed to develop the SERS tags-based nanoparticles for trace detection of heparin. This SERS detection assay is based on the aggregation/non-aggregation balance of AuNFs-4-MBA@chitosan nanoparticles, which was induced by adding a very low concentration of heparin in the as-synthesized colloidal solutions. SERS-tag colloids are prepared by mixing chitosan with HAuCl4 and 4-mercapto benzoic acid before being reduced with ascorbic acid under appropriate pH conditions. The formed AuNFs-4-MBA@chitosan nanoparticles were positively charged with high stability and well-dispersed in aqueous media. Based on understanding each reaction component's role in the preparation of the SERS tag colloid, we aim to simplify the controlled synthesis and Raman probe conjugation process. The average size of AuNFs is below 90 nm, fine-tuned in shape and effectively conjugated to the Raman reporter molecules 4-MBA. These as-prepared SERS tag-based AuNFs have good biocompatibility and are virtually non-toxic, as studied with fibroblast and MCF-7 cells. Through these SERS-tag colloids, the trace detection of heparin is improved, with a wide detection window (0.01 to 100 ppm), high reproducibility (RSD value of 3.56%), limit of detection (LOD) of 0.054 ppm, and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.17 ppm. Comparison experiments show that the SERS-tag colloids possess good selectivity over other ions, and organic and amino acid substances. The results provide the capability and the potential for application under complex biological conditions and future biosensing based on SERS signal amplification.

Fluorescence detection of protamine, heparin and heparinase II based on a novel AIE molecule with four carboxyl. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 156:1153-1159.

Abstract
In this research, a new DSA (Distyryl-anthracene) derivative with four carboxyl groups was designed and synthesized. This molecule exhibits aggregation-induced emission property (AIE). With the AIE character, a convenient and sensitive fluorescent probe for the detection of protamine, heparin and heparinase has been developed. The protamine can directly induce the aggregation of probe, which caused by electrostatic attraction. In this way, the turn-on detection of protamine is achieved, and the detection limit is as low as 30 ng mL-1. When heparin appears, the probes will be redisperse in solution, which causes a decrease in fluorescence intensity. Besides, this method also shows good selectivity and sensitivity, and the linear range of heparin is from 0.08 to 8 μg mL-1 with detection limit of 37 ng mL-1. After hydrolyzing heparin by heparinase, the probes rebind with protamine and the fluorescence enhance. The fluorescence enhancement was linearly related to the concentration of heparinase in the range of 0.02-2.0 μg mL-1 and detection limit as low as 143.7 ng mL-1. In addition, the results exhibited that the recovery percentage of heparinase in bovine samples reached to 96-101%.

Abstract
Systematically tuning the structures and properties of noble-metal nanoparticles through biomolecule-mediated overgrowth is of significant importance for their applications in biosensing and imaging. Herein thiolated biomolecules with different concentrations and sizes (molecular weight and spatial structure) were used as a class of capping ligands to control the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) property of gold nanorods (GNRs). The LSPR peaks were red-shifted by increasing the capping agent concentration. The size effect could be divided to two aspects: (1) When the ligands are small molecules, the LSPR peak is blue-shifted as the size of the capping ligand increases. (2) When the ligands are macromolecular proteins, the LSPR property is similar to that of the overgrown nanoparticle (Au@gap@GNR) without thiolated biomolecules as capping agents. Interestingly, thiol-free and nonhomooligomeric DNA strands as capping agents present a similar influence in shaping the overgrowth of GNRs by varying their concentrations and sizes. In addition, the size effect of a DNA nanostructure was used to construct a ΔλLSPR-based catalytic nucleic acid biosensor using a DNA dendritic nanostructure as a capping agent combined with LSPR signals generated from the Au@gap@GNRs with morphological evolution. More importantly, the ΔλLSPR-based biosensor possesses three advantages in nucleic acid biosensing: (1) It is completely label- and wash-free, (2) it has an ultrahigh sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, and (3) it can be visualized without any instrumental aid, indicating a significant potential for ultrasensitive biosensing.

Abstract
Bimetallic gold core-silver shell (Au@Ag) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags draw broad interest in the fields of biological and environmental analysis. In reported tags, silver coating tended to smooth the surface and merge the original hotspot of Au cores, which was disadvantageous to signal enhancement from the aspect of surface topography. Herein, we developed gold nanorod (AuNR)-bridged Au@Ag SERS tags with uniform three-dimensional (3D) topography for the first time. This unique structure was achieved by selecting waxberry-like Au nanoparticles (NPs) as cores, which were capped by vertically oriented AuNR arrays. Upon selective surface blocking with thiol-ligands, Ag NPs were controlled to anisotropically grow on the tips of the AuNRs, producing high-density homo- (Ag-Ag) and hetero- (Au-Ag) hotspots in a single NP. The 3D hotspots rendered this NP extraordinary SERS enhancement ability (an analytical enhancement factor of 3.4 × 106) 30 times higher than the counterpart with a smooth surface, realizing signal detection from a single NP. More importantly, multiplexing signals ("blank" or multiplex "internal standard") can be achieved by simply changing thiol-ligands, as exemplified in the synthesis of NPs with 8 signatures. Furthermore, the multifunctionality has been demonstrated in living cell/in vivo imaging, photothermal therapy, and SERS substrates for ratiometric quantitative analysis, relying on the inherent internal standard signal. The prepared Au@Ag NPs have great potential as standard tools in many SERS-related fields.

Abstract
The heparin family, which includes unfractionated heparin, low-molecular heparin, and fondaparinux, is a class of drugs clinically used as intravenous blood thinners. To date, issues related to both the reversal of anticoagulation and the blood level determination of the anticoagulant at the point-of-care remain: while the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved antidote for heparin displays serious efficacy and safety drawbacks, the current assays for heparin monitoring are indirect measurements subject to their own limitations and variations. Herein, we provide an update on the numerous recent chemical approaches to tackle these issues, from which it is clear that some new antidotes and sensors for heparin certainly have the potential to exceed current clinical standards. This review aims to review a field that requires close collaborations between physicians, biologists, and chemists in order to foster advances toward clinical translation.

Abstract
Heparin (Hep) is a widely applied anticoagulant and the quantification of heparin concentration is pivotal for clinical use. In this work, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) modified by the amino groups and glutathione-capped gold nanoclusters (GSH-AuNCs) are able to self-assemble into spherical particle structures via the electrostatic interaction, resulting in the aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) of GSH-AuNCs. However, Hep, a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan with much more negative charges, can bind with the SiNPs and inhibit the aggregation. As a result, it causes the AEE quenching of GSH-AuNCs at 570 nm but the SiNPs keep their own blue fluorescence at 450 nm. Thus, the SiNPs can act as an internal reference and the GSH-AuNCs are used as a signal probe in this process. The ratiometric fluorescent signal (I570/I450) change of the nanohybrid probe is positively correlated with Hep concentrations in the range from 6.44 ng/mL to 96.6 ng/mL with the detection limit of 3.29 ng/mL. As expected, this strategy shows good sensitivity and selectivity, and it is also successfully applied to detect Hep in Hep sodium injection and human serum samples with good recoveries.

Abstract
A combined specific enrichment and highly efficient solid-phase tagging approach is presented for heparin detection using boronic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica nanospheres as extraction sorbents and nanoscale reactors. It exhibits a faster reaction time (only 6 min), higher tagging-product purity and lower applicable sample concentration compared with liquid-phase tagging.

Abstract
Developing highly sensitive and highly selective assays for monitoring heparin levels in blood is required during and after surgery. In previous studies, electrostatic interactions are exploited to recognize heparin and changes in light signal intensity are used to sense heparin. In the present study, we developed a quantum dot (QD) aggregation-based detection strategy to quantify heparin. When cationic micelles and fluorescence QDs modified with anti-thrombin III (AT III) are added into heparin sample solution, the AT III-QDs, which specifically bind with heparin, aggregate around the micelles. The aggregated QDs are recorded by spectral imaging fluorescence microscopy and differentiated from single QDs based on the asynchronous process of blue shift and photobleaching. The ratio of aggregated QD spots to all counted QD spots is linearly related to the amount of heparin in the range of 4.65 × 10 -4 U/mL to 0.023 U/mL. The limit of detection is 9.3 × 10 -5 U/mL (∼0.1 nM), and the recovery of the spiked heparin at 0.00465 U/mL (∼5 nM) in 0.1% human plasma is acceptable.

Abstract
Field and pretreatment-free detection of heavy-metal ions in organic polluted water is important but still challenging in current water pollution emergency response systems. Here we report a polyadenine-DNA-mediated approach for a rationally designed alkyne-coded surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) test kit, enabling rapid and simultaneous detection of Hg2+ and Ag+ by a portable spectrometer, impervious to organic interferences. Because of the formation of thymine (T)-Hg2+-T and cytosine (C)-Ag+-C, highly recognizable SERS signals are rapidly detected when two different alkyne-labeled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are induced to undergo controllable bridging upon the addition of low-volume targets. For multiplex detection through a portable spectrometer, the limits of detection reach 0.77 and 0.86 nM for Hg2+ and Ag+, respectively. Of particular significance, the proposed C≡C-containing Raman reporters provide an extremely effective solution for multiplex sensing in a spectral silent region, when the hyperspectral and fairly intense optical noises originating from lower wavenumber region (<1800 cm-1) are inevitable under complex ambient conditions.

Abstract
A sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunosensor based on the Au nanoparticle (Au NP) shell structure was developed to detect staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) on a microplate. Au NPs modified with 4-nitrothiophenol (4-NTP) and coated with Ag shell of controlled thickness at 6.6 nm exhibited excellent SERS intensity and were used as signal reporters in the detection of SEB. The engaged 4-NTP allowed the significant electromagnetic enhancement between Au NPs and the Ag shell and prevented the dissociation of the Raman reporter. More importantly, 4-NTP-differentiated SERS signals between the sample and microplate. The SERS-based immunosensor had a limit of detection of 1.3 pg/mL SEB. Analysis of SEB-spiked milk samples revealed that the developed method had high accuracy. Therefore, the SERS-encoded Au@Ag core-shell structure-based immunosensor is promising for the detection of biotoxins, pathogens, and environmental pollutants.

Abstract
An Ag@MSiO2@Ag three core-shell architecture was synthesized by a facial hydrothermal method. The features of the sample were characterized by SEM, TEM, and AFM images, EDS analyses and absorption spectra. This novel nanostructure exhibited excellent SERS properties due to the formation of hot spots around the inner and outer Ag NPs, which were identified by theoretical calculations. A detection limit of the analyte molecule was obtained as low as 10(-11) M by using this SERS nanostructure. Moreover, the homogeneity of SERS signals from the three core-shell nanostructure was checked by Raman mapping. Our studies show that the unique Ag@MSiO2@Ag three core-shell nanostructure has significant potential to realize a SERS substrate with both sensitivity and stability, which are important in SERS-based immunoassay.
