A fluorescence-electrochemical dual-mode aptasensor based on novel DNA-dependent PBNFs@PtPd for highly selective and sensitive detection of procymidone through hybridization chain reaction. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 928:172529. [PMID: 38631626 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
Herein, a study for the first application of a hybridization chain reaction, a 1,8-naphthalimides-DNA (NDs) intercalator, and DNA-dependent Prussian blue nanoflowers@PtPd materials (PBNFs@PtPd) in the development of a fluorescence-electrochemical (FL-EC) aptasensor. This construction establishes an efficient sensing platform for the detection of procymidone (PCM). In the context of the described experiment, dual-mode detection is achieved through the generation of FL signals by an aptamer labeled with a Cy5 moiety and the formation of DPV signals by the modification of a thionine-appended 1,8-naphthalimide (Thi-NDs). In the presence of PCM, specific recognition occurs, followed by the utilization of magnetic separation technology to release DNA1 (S1) and aptamer-Cy5 (Apt-Cy5), subsequently introducing them onto both fluorescence and EC platforms. The presence of S1 effectively activates hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for the electrode surface, thereby significantly increasing the binding sites for Thi-NDs and consequently greatly amplifying the response signal of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The developed FL-EC dual-mode sensing platform demonstrates high sensitivity in the detection of PCM, with the detection limits of 0.173 μg·ml-1 (within the detection range of 500 pg·ml-1 to 500 ng·ml-1) and 0.074 ng·ml-1 (within the detection range of 100 pg·ml-1 to 100 ng·ml-1), respectively. The designed dual-mode sensor exhibits notable characteristics, including high selectivity, reproducibility, synergy, and reliable monitoring/capability for PCM in real samples.

Abstract
An off-on fluorescence aptasensor was developed for trace thrombin detection based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CdS QDs and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Using DNA pairwise hybridization of the aptamer to the complementary DNA (cDNA), the CdS QDs (energy donor) were tightly coupled to the AuNPs (energy acceptor), resulting in the occurrence of FRET and there was a dramatic fluorescence quenching of CdS QDs (turn off). When the thrombin was added to the fluorescence aptasensor, the specific binding of the aptamer to the target formed a G-quadruplex that caused the AuNPs receptor to detach and the DNA duplex to be disassembled. The process would inhibit the FRET which contribute to the recovery of fluorescence (turn on) and an "off-on" fluorescence aptasensor for thrombin detection was constructed accordingly. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence recovery showed good linearity with the concentration of thrombin in the range of 1.35-54.0 nmol L-1, and the detection limit was 0.38 nmol L-1 (S/N = 3, n = 9). Importantly, the fluorescence aptasensor presented excellent specificity for thrombin, and was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of thrombin in real serum with satisfactory recoveries of 98.60-102.2%.

Abstract
Due to improper storage, the presence of patulin in fruits poses a threat to food safety. Herein, a one-step dual amplification strategy-based electrochemical aptasensor was proposed for patulin detection. Silver-palladium nanoparticles (AgPdNPs) with a hollow and branched structure were used as a supporting material for thionine to provide numerous attachment sites. AuNFs/g-C3N4 was employed as an electrode modification material, which has been demonstrated to facilitate electron transport and improve signal label loading capacity. Ag+ ions were released in the presence of patulin, activating the Ag+-DNAzyme on the electrode surface. The formed Ag+-DNAzymes further cyclically cleaved the substrate DNA, and the released sequences were used as a new trigger to mediate the secondary recirculation. This one-step dual amplification strategy enabled double target recycling without additional procedures. The signal cascade amplification through dual target recycling, was thus available for trace detection of patulin. Under the optimal conditions, the electrochemical aptasensor achieved a satisfactory linear range from 5.0 × 10-6 μg L-1 to 50 μg L-1 with a detection limit of 0.92 fg·mL-1 for the determination of patulin. In addition, the aptasensor exhibited favorable selectivity, reproducibility, repeatability and long-term stability, and thus can be employed for patulin detection in apple juice samples, providing excellent choice for the detection of trace patulin.

Abstract
Thrombin (TB) is classified among human blood coagulation proteins with key functions in hemostasis of blood vessels, wound healing, atherosclerosis, tissue adhesion, etc. Moreover, TB is involved as the main enzyme in the conversion of the fibrinogen to fibrin. Given the importance of TB detection in the clinical area, the development of innovative methods can considerably improve TB detection. Newly, aptasensors or aptamer-based biosensors have received special attention for sensitive and facile TB detection. In addition, the aptamer/nanomaterial conjugates have presented new prospects in accurate TB detection as nanoaptasensors. DNA-based enzymes or DNAzymes, as new biocatalysts, have many advantages over protein enzymes and can be used in analytical tools. This article reviews a brief overview of significant progresses regarding the various types of DNAzymes-based aptasensors and nano aptasensors developed for thrombin detection. In the following, challenges and prospects of TB detection by DNAzymes-based aptasensors are discussed.

Abstract
Nucleic acid nanotechnology designs and develops synthetic nucleic acid strands to fabricate nanosized functional systems. Structural properties and the conformational polymorphism of nucleic acid sequences are inherent characteristics that make nucleic acid nanostructures attractive systems in biosensing. This review critically discusses recent advances in biosensing derived from molecular beacon and DNA origami structures. Molecular beacons belong to a conventional class of nucleic acid structures used in biosensing, whereas DNA origami nanostructures are fabricated by fully exploiting possibilities offered by nucleic acid nanotechnology. We present nucleic acid scaffolds divided into conventional hairpin molecular beacons and DNA origami, and discuss some relevant examples by focusing on peculiar aspects exploited in biosensing applications. We also critically evaluate analytical uses of the synthetic nucleic acid structures in biosensing to point out similarities and differences between traditional hairpin nucleic acid sequences and DNA origami.

Abstract
Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is an efficient enzymatic isothermal reaction that using circular probe as a template to generate long tandem single-stranded DNA or RNA products under the initiation of short DNA or RNA primers. As a simplified derivative of natural rolling circle replication which synthesizes copies of circular nucleic acids molecules such as plasmids, RCA amplifies the circular template rapidly without thermal cycling and finds various applications in molecular biology. Compared with other amplification strategies, RCA has many obvious advantages. Firstly, because of the strict complementarity required in ligation of a padlock probe, it endows the RCA reaction with high specificity and can even be utilized to distinguish single base mismatches. Secondly, through the introduction of multiple primers, exponential amplification can be achieved easily and leads to a good sensitivity. Thirdly, RCA products can be customized by manipulating circular templates to generate functional nucleic acids such as aptamer, DNAzymes and restriction enzyme sites. Moreover, the RCA has good biocompatibility and is especially suitable for in situ detection. Therefore, RCA has attracted considerable attention as an efficient and potential tool for highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. Herein, we comprehensively introduce the fundamental principles of RCA technology, summarize it from three aspects including initiation mode, amplification mode and signal output mode, and discuss the recent application of RCA-based biosensor in this review.

Electrochemiluminescent aptasensor for thrombin using nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots. Mikrochim Acta 2018; 185:430.

Abstract
An electrochemiluminescent (ECL) aptamer based method is described for the determination of thrombin. Three-dimensional nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (3D-NGO) was placed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to provide an electrode surface that displays excellent electrical conductivity and acts as a strong emitter of ECL. The modified electrode was further coated with chitosan via electrodeposition. Finally, the amino-modified aptamer was immobilized on the modified GCE. The interaction between thrombin and aptamer results in a decrease in ECL. The assay has a linear response in the 1 fM to 1 nM thrombin concentration range and a 0.25 fM lower detection limit (at an S/N ratio of 3). The method was applied to the determination of thrombin in spiked human plasma samples, and recoveries ranged between 94 and 105% (with RSDs of <3.6%). The calibration plot was recorded at potential and wavelength of fluorescence emission (wavelength: 445 nm; potential: 0 to -2 V). Graphical abstract A bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) does not display electrochemiluminescence (ECL). If, however, nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots, chitosan, and three-dimensional nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (NGQD-chitosan/3D-NGO) are electrodeposited on the GCE, strong ECL can be observed. The ECL intensity decreased after aptamer and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were dropped onto the electrode (curve a). However, the ECL further decreases after addition of thrombin (TB; curve b).

Abstract
The development of sensitive and simple approaches capable of monitoring trace amounts of protein biomarkers is appealing for disease diagnosis and treatment. Towards this end, we have developed an electrochemical sensing platform for sensitive and simple detection of protein biomarkers by using thrombin as the model target molecules via a target-programmed proximity binding amplification approach. The binding of thrombin to the aptamer sequences in the partial dsDNA duplex probes induces the release of the ssDNA trigger strands, which catalyze subsequent assembly formation of many methylene blue (MB)-tagged proximate DNA motifs with the presence of the DNA fuel strands through cascaded toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions. Due to the proximity-binding effect, these MB-tagged proximate DNA motifs anneal with the capture probes on the sensor surface with significantly enhanced stability against the corresponding single component counterpart, thereby pulling the MB tags close to the sensor surface and generating substantially amplified signal responses for sensitive determination of thrombin down to 23.6 pM. In addition, such aptasensor can specifically discriminate thrombin from other interference proteins, and can also be utilized to monitor thrombin in diluted serum samples, demonstrating its great potential for sensitive determination of proteins for early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
By coupling a new aptamer proximity recognition-dependent strand translocation strategy with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) signal amplification, we have developed a simple and sensitive method for detecting thrombin in human serums. Simultaneous binding of two engineered aptamer probes to the thrombin target significantly increases the local concentrations of the two probes and facilitates the translocation of a ssDNA strand from one of the probes to the other through toehold mediated strand displacement. Such a strand translocation leads to the generation of a ssDNA tail in the aptamer sequence for subsequent initiation of the assembly of two fluorescently quenched hairpins into many DNA duplexes via CHA. The formation of the DNA duplexes thus results in significant fluorescence recovery for amplified detection of thrombin down to 8.3 pM. The developed method is highly selective to the thrombin target against other interference proteins due to the dual recognition mode, and can be employed to monitor thrombin in human serum samples. With the advantage of simplicity, sensitivity and selectivity, this method can be a universal non-enzymatic and nanomaterial-free amplified sensing platform for detecting different protein molecules.

Abstract
A magnetic force assisted electrochemical aptamer-antibody sandwich assay (MESA) was developed for the detection of thrombin as a model protein in serum samples. The MESA using the formation of sandwich complexes on the electrochemical sensor probe for reaction and the removal of unbound bioconjugates from the sensor surface without washing are controlled by a magnetic field. Thrombin was determined by the cathodic currents of a toluidine blue O (TBO) attached with thrombin antibody modified magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) at the sensor surface. To detect thrombin in a serum sample, we applied a thrombin-specific aptamer as the capture molecule bound to the functionalized conducting polymer layer (poly-(2,2´:5´,5″-terthiophene-3´-p-benzoic acid) (pTBA)), and streptavidin and starch coated-MNP was conjugated with biotinylated thrombin antibodies (Ab) and TBO as the bioconjugate (MNP@Ab-TBO). The characterization of MNP@Ab-TBO and sensor probe was performed using voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, XPS, and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The experimental conditions were optimized in terms of pH, binding time, removal time of unbound bioconjugates, and applied potential. The dynamic ranges of thrombin were from 1.0 to 500 nM with detection limit of 0.49 ( ± 0.06) nM. The recovery test demonstrates the reliability of the proposed sensing system for a handheld device.

Abstract
An efficient, rapid, simple and ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) approach was proposed for thrombin detection based on the aptamer-thrombin recognition. The aptamer composites were synthesized in this work using graphene oxide (GO) as the backing material. The thrombin was adsorbed on the aptamer composites based on the aptamer-thrombin recognition. Thus, thrombin could be quantified by the difference value of the CL intensity between supernate of the sample and the mixture which composed of thrombin and coexisted substances. The CL intensity exhibits a stable response to thrombin over a concentration range from 2.5×10-10 to 1×10-9mol·L-1 with a detection limit as low as 8.3×10-11mol·L-1, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was found to be 4.9% for 11 determinations of 1.25×10-9mol·L-1 thrombin. Finally, the applicability of the method was verified by applying to serum samples. The recoveries were in the range of 90.3-101.0% with RSD of 2.6-3.2%.

Abstract
Modern optical detection technology plays a critical role in current clinical detection due to its high sensitivity and accuracy. However, higher requirements such as extremely high detection sensitivity have been put forward due to the clinical needs for the early finding and diagnosing of malignant tumors which are significant for tumor therapy. The technology of isothermal amplification with nucleic acids opens up avenues for meeting this requirement. Recent reports have shown that a nucleic acid amplification-assisted modern optical sensing interface has achieved satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy, high speed and specificity. Compared with isothermal amplification technology designed to work completely in a solution system, solid biosensing interfaces demonstrated better performances in stability and sensitivity due to their ease of separation from the reaction mixture and the better signal transduction on these optical nano-biosensing interfaces. Also the flexibility and designability during the construction of these nano-biosensing interfaces provided a promising research topic for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer diseases. In this review, we describe the construction of the burgeoning number of optical nano-biosensing interfaces assisted by a nucleic acid amplification strategy, and provide insightful views on: (1) approaches to the smart fabrication of an optical nano-biosensing interface, (2) biosensing mechanisms via the nucleic acid amplification method, (3) the newest strategies and future perspectives.

Abstract
A sensitive and efficient ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was designed for tetracycline (TET) detection in milk. The ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was constructed by integrating two aptasensors termed as aptasensor 1 and aptasensor 2. The aptasensor 1 was fabricated that based on ferrocene (Fc) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) nanocomposite. Meanwhile, the aptasensor 2 was prepared that based on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and AuNPs nanocomposite. TET-aptamer was immobilized effectively onto screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) surface through forming Au-S bond between AuNPs and thiol of aptamer at 5′ end to construct the aptasensor 1 and aptasensor 2. And their detection results were calculated by ratio. Thus, the proposed ratiometric aptasensor solved the problem of low accuracy and large differences between batches. Under the optimized conditions, the TET was detected by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Taken advantage of ratio calculation, the as-prepared ratiometric aptasensor could detect TET quantitatively in the range of 10−8–10−3gL−1, with a detection limit of 3.3 × 10−7gL−1. Moreover, its applicability to TET-contaminated real samples (milk) showed an excellent agreement with the values determined by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). With high sensitivity, accuracy and reliability, the developed ratiometric aptasensor held a great potential in TET detection for food safety.

Abstract
In this paper, novel heparin-mimicking hyperbranched polyester nanoparticles (HBPE-SO3 NPs) with abundant of sulfonated acid functional groups were synthesized, and their antithrombogenicities were further evaluated. Further, a label-free electrochemical aptamer biosensor (aptasensor) based on HBPE-SO3 NPs modified electrode was developed for thrombin (TB) detection in whole blood. Meanwhile, the anti-biofouling properties of different modified electrodes were studied by whole blood and platelet adhesion test, hemolysis assay and morphological changes of red blood cells in vitro. Besides, the thrombin-binding aptamer was selected as receptor for the proposed aptasensor, which has excellent binding affinity and selectivity for TB. When binding to TB, the electron transfer taking place at the modified electrode interface was inhibited that can attribute to the stereo-hindrance effect, resulting in the decreased current response. This aptasensor showed excellent electrochemical properties with a wide detection range and a low detection limit of 0.031pM (S/N = 3), and provided high selectivity, long-term stability and good reproducibility. Finally, the sensitively detection of TB in whole blood samples directly was achieved by this aptasensor we proposed, which suggested its great potential for TB detection in the clinic.

Abstract
The on-site and real-time detection of metal ions is important for environmental monitoring and for understanding the impact of metal ions on human health. However, developing sensors selective for a wide range of metal ions that can work in the complex matrices of untreated samples and cells presents significant challenges. To meet these challenges, DNAzymes, an emerging class of metal ion-dependent enzymes selective for almost any metal ion, have been functionalized with fluorophores, nanoparticles and other imaging agents and incorporated into sensors for the detection of metal ions in environmental samples and for imaging metal ions in living cells. Herein, we highlight the recent developments of DNAzyme-based fluorescent, colorimetric, SERS, electrochemical and electrochemiluminscent sensors for metal ions for these applications.

Abstract
In this work, an "off" to "on" surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform was constructed for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA) by using a magnetic SERS substrate (Co@C/PEI/Ag) and padlock probe-based exponential rolling circle amplification (P-ERCA) strategy. Herein, miRNA 155 could act as primers to initiate rolling circle amplification (RCA) for producing a long repeat sequence, and then the obtained DNA would be cleaved into two kinds of single-stranded DNAs in the presence of nickase. One of the DNAs can be a new primer to initiate new cycle reactions for obtaining large numbers of the other one (trigger DNA), consequently leading to an exponential amplification. On the other hand, the hairpin DNA (H1), with a Raman label (Cy5) at one end, would form a hairpin structure to make the Cy5 closer to the SERS substrates, which could produce a strong SERS signal ("on" status). Then placeholder DNA (P2) partly hybridized with H1 to open the hairpin structure making Cy5 far away from substrates with a decreased signal ("off" status). Next, the obtained trigger DNA can complement with P2 to make the Raman label reclosed to the SERS substrates with a strong SERS signal ("on" status). From this principle, the strategy could achieve the change from "off" to "on" status. This SERS strategy exhibited a wide linear range of 100 aM to 100 pM with a low detection limit of 70.2 aM, which indicated the proposed SERS platform has potential application value for ultrasensitive bioassay of miRNA.

Abstract
A supramolecular recognition and oriented assembly system was developed on chip for the highly selective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of thrombin by means of the aptamer-based SERS tag method. A 15-base thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA15) with a thiol end was first immobilized on an Ag nanoprism array by the S-Ag bond. This aptamer has high binding affinity with thrombin when it folds into a G-quadruplex structure. After the recognition between the aptamer and thrombin, a bridge is built between the SERS tag (4-mercaptobenzoic acid marked Ag nanoparticle) and the fixed thrombin based on the activation of the carboxylic group of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid. Thus, the quantitative detection of thrombin can be achieved based on the SERS intensity of the immobilized SERS tags. The obvious advantages of this sensing method are as follows: (1) remarkable SERS enhancement due to the high electric field coupling effect via the gap structure formation, which improves the sensitivity of the SERS detection and the limit of detection of this method arrives in 1.6 × 10-11 M, (2) high selectivity based on the specific aptamer recognition toward thrombin, which can be extended to other enzymes easily by changing a proper sequence, (3) high repeatability of SERS signals according to a highly ordered structure, and (4) highly efficient oriented assembly of a sandwich structure over an Ag nanoprism array. The proposed method is expected to be a practical implement in medical diagnosis. Graphical Abstract Illustration of the aptamer-based SERS sensor for thrombin detection.

Abstract
Recently, graphene oxide (GO) has shown superiority for disease detection arising from its unique physical and chemical properties. However, proteins adsorbed on the surface of GO prevent sensitivity improvement in fluorescence-based detection methods. In this paper, a label-free method based on aptamer modified gold nanoparticles (GNPs) combined with Tween 80 was shown to solve this problem using the detection of thrombin as an example. An aptamer was designed and bound to thrombin by changing its conformation. Tween 80 was used for rapid and reproducible synthesis of stable DNA-functionalized GNPs and prevented the thrombin from nonspecific binding to GO. Thrombin was detected with a limit of 0.68 pM by taking advantage of the efficient cross-linking effect of aptamer-GNPs to GO. The sensor was validated by determining thrombin concentration in human blood serum samples. The results indicate that this method has promising analytical application in medical diagnostic.

Abstract
Thrombin plays important roles for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. By integrating proximity binding-induced strand displacement and metal ion-dependent DNAzyme recycling amplification, we demonstrate here the development of a simple and sensitive strategy for the detection of thrombin in human serums. The binding of the two distinct aptamers to the thrombin targets increases the local concentration of the aptamers and facilitates the release of the enzymatic sequences through proximity binding-induced strand displacement. The liberated enzymatic sequences further hybridize with the G-quadruplex containing and hairpin-structured substrate sequences on the sensor electrode to form the metal-ion dependent DNAzymes. Subsequently, the metal ions catalyze the cleavage of the substrate sequences to unlock the G-quadruplex forming sequences and to release the enzymatic sequences to trigger another cleavage cycle. Such metal ion-dependent DNAzyme recycling amplification leads to the formation of many active G-quadruplex forming sequences, which associate with hemin to form G-quadruplex/hemin complexes on the electrode surface. Direct electron transfer of hemin to the electrode during the potential scan can thus generate significantly amplified current for sensitive detection of thrombin at the low picomolar level. The work demonstrated here can thus offer new opportunities for the development of convenient signal amplification strategies for detecting various protein targets.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), integral components of the outer membrane of all gram-negative bacteria, are closely associated with foodborne diseases such as fever, diarrhea and hypotension, and thus, the early and sensitive detection of LPS is necessary. In this study, an aptasensor assay based on hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was developed to detect LPS. Briefly, two complementary stable species of biotinylated DNA hairpins coexisted in solution until the introduction of a detection probe triggered a hybridization chain reaction cascade. The DNA conjugates specifically reacted with the LPS, which were captured by the ethanolamine aptamer attached to the reaction well surface. After optimizing the key reaction conditions, such as the reaction time of HCR, the amount of the capture probe and detection probes, the increase in the LPS concentration was readily measured by the optical density value, and a relatively low detection limit (1.73 ng/mL) was obtained, with a linear response range of 1–105 ng/mL. The approach presented herein introduced the use of an aptasensor for LPS discrimination and HCR for signal amplification, offering a promising option for detecting LPS.

Abstract
Highly sensitive detection of proteins, especially those associated with cancers, is essential to biomedical research as well as clinical diagnosis. In this work, a simple and novel one-two-three signal amplification surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method for the detection of protein is fabricated by using label-free aptamer and dual-primer self-generation. Platelet-derived growth factor B-chain (PDGF-BB) is selected as the model protein. The one-two-three cascade DNA amplification means one target-aptamer binding event, two hairpin DNA switches and three DNA amplification reactions. This strategy possesses some remarkable features compared to conventional signal amplification methods: (i) A smart probe including a label-free aptamer is fabricated, for suitable hybridization without hindering the affinity of the aptamer toward its target. (ii) Using the unique structure switch of the aptamer and cooperator, a one-two-three working mode is developed to amplify the SERS signal. The amplification efficiency is enhanced. Given the unique and attractive characteristics, a simple and universal strategy is designed to accomplish ultrasensitive detection of proteins. The detection limit of PDGF-BB via SERS detection is 0.42 pM, with the linear range from 1.0×10(-12)M to 10(-8)M. It is potentially universal because the aptamer can be easily designed for biomolecules whose aptamers undergo similar conformational changes.

Abstract
In this study, we described a novel method for highly sensitive and specific detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) based on engineered "hot" Au core-Ag shell nanostructures (Au@Ag NSs). Cy5-labeled DNA aptamer was embedded between the Au and Ag layers as a signal generator and target-recognition element, to fabricate uniform Au@Ag NSs with unexpected strong and stable SERS signals. The presented CAP can specifically bind to the DNA aptamer by forming an aptamer-CAP conjugate, and cause greatly decreased SERS signals of Au@Ag NSs. By using this method, we were able to detect as low as 0.19 pg mL(-1) of CAP with high selectivity, which is much lower than those previously reported biosensors. Compared with the other SERS sensors that attached a dye in the outer layer of nanoparticles, this method exhibits excellent sensitivity and has the potential to significantly improve stability and reproducibility of SERS-based detection techniques.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of malignancy is the most critical factor for patient survival and the treatment of cancer. In particular, leukemic cells are highly heterogeneous, and there is a need to develop new rapid and accurate detection systems for early diagnosis and monitoring of minimal residual disease. This study reports the utilization of molecular networks consisting of entire bacteriophage structure, displaying specific peptides, directly assembled with silver nanoparticles as a new Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) probe for U937 cells identification in vitro. A 9-mer pVIII M13 phage display library is screened against U937 to identify peptides that selectively recognize these cells. Then, phage clone is assembled with silver nanoparticles and the resulting network is used to obtain a SERS signal on cell-type specific molecular targets. The proposed strategy could be a very sensitive tool for the design of biosensors for highly specific and selective identification of hematological cancer cells and for detection of minimal residual disease in a significant proportion of human blood malignancy.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of thrombin has very important significance in clinical diagnosis. In this work, bare magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetic nanoparticles) without any modification were used as fluorescence quenchers. In the absence of thrombin, a fluorescent dye (CY3) labeled thrombin aptamer (named CY3-aptamer) was adsorbed on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles through interaction between a phosphate backbone of the CY3-aptamer and hydroxyl groups on the bare magnetic nanoparticles in binding solution, leading to fluorescence quenching. Once thrombin was introduced, the CY3-aptamer formed a G-quartet structure and combined with thrombin, which resulted in the CY3-aptamer being separated from the magnetic nanoparticles and restoration of fluorescence. This proposed assay took advantage of binding affinity between the CY3-aptamer and thrombin for specificity, and bare magnetic nanoparticles for fluorescence quenching. The fluorescence signal had a good linear relationship with thrombin concentration in the range of 1-60 nM, and the limit of detection for thrombin was estimated as low as 0.5 nM. Furthermore, this method could be applied for other target detection using the corresponding fluorescence labeled aptamer.
