A sensitive "off-on" electrochemiluminescence DNA sensor based on signal cascade amplification circuit and distance-dependent energy transfer. Talanta 2024; 269:125464. [PMID: 38039672 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125464] [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: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
A sensitive "off-on" electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA sensor was constructed based on Exo III-assisted cascade amplification system. In the cascade amplification circuit, target DNA and Exo III cutting substrate were designed into an inverted T-shaped binding mode to form a stable DNA junction, thus effectively triggering Exo III digestion cycle. During the biosensor assembly process, ferrocene (Fc) and distance-dependent ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effects were introduced to regulate the ECL of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). Carboxylated ZnCdSe/ZnS QDs were used as ECL signal probes and K2S2O8 was coreactant, and the initial cathodic ECL signal of QDs was efficiently quenched through electron and energy transfer with Fc and ECL-RET with Au NPs, leaving the system in "off" state. After the products of cascade amplification were introduced into the electrode surface, the single-stranded DNA modified with Fc was displaced, and the distance between Au NPs and QDs became farther, resulting in a transition from ECL-RET to SPR, and then a significant ECL signal boost was achieved, turning the system into "on" state. The combination of efficient cascade amplification system and sensitive "off-on" ECL signal change mode enabled the biosensing platform to detect target DNA with high selectivity (able to distinguish single-base mutated DNA) and ultra-high sensitivity (limit of detection was 31.67 aM, S/N = 3), providing a new perspective for designing highly sensitive and programmable ECL biosensors.

Self-enhanced luminol-based electrochemiluminescent hydrogels: An ultrasensitive biosensing platform for fusion gene analysis coupled with target-initiated DNAzyme motor. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 197:113784.

Abstract
BCR/ABL fusion gene has been discovered as an important and reliable biomarker for early diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Herein, a novel and switching electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was developed for ultrasensitive determination of the fusion gene based on the self-enhanced polyethyleneimine-luminol (PEI-Lum) hydrogels coupled with target-initiated DNAzyme motor. The facilely prepared PEI-Lum hydrogels could not only immobilize enormous luminol but shorten the distance of binary system, thus facilitating the mass and electron transfer efficiency of the sensing interface, so that the enhanced ECL signal was achieved. Moreover, the engineering DNA motor was powered by Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme for isothermal DNA signal amplification. As a result, the fabricated ECL biosensor enabled highly sensitive detection of BCR/ABL fusion gene with a broad linear range from 10.0 fM to 10.0 nM and a low detection limit of 3.75 fM (S/N = 3). Significantly, the developed biosensing method provides a potential tool for nucleic acid analysis in clinical diagnosis and a new avenue to design high-efficient ECL nanomaterials.

Abstract
A novel fluorescence (FL) imaging platform was established for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of cardiac troponin T (cTnT), based on a high-throughput immunosensor chip and a DNA dendrimer capped with a large number of fluorescent dyes (FDD@Cy5). Through an enzyme-free and step-by-step strategy, FDD@Cy5 was self-assembled facilely. After the formation of a sandwich immunocomplex and biotin–streptavidin conjugation, FDD@Cy5 could be captured on the chip. FL signals emerged from Cy5 under external light and the enrichment of Cy5 on the dendrimer led to signal amplification. A FL image containing 90 spots could be collected instantaneously by laser confocal scanning microscopy and the brightness of all the spots corresponded to the concentrations of target cTnT. Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor chip coupled with FDD@Cy5 exhibited an excellent detection limit of 0.10 pg L−1, a wide linear range from 0.20 pg L−1 to 2.0 ng L−1, a sample consumption down to 3.0 μL and a maximum throughput of 45 tests per h. The proposed approach was also applied to cTnT quantitation in serum samples with acceptable accuracy, providing a new avenue for early diagnosis and the prognosis evaluation of acute myocardial infarction. A novel fluorescence imaging platform based on a high-throughput immunosensor chip and a DNA dendrimer capped with plenty of fluorescent dyes was proposed for ultrasensitive quantitation of cardiac troponin T.![]()

Abstract
Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic information. Overexpressed or underexpressed as well as mutated nucleic acids have been implicated in many diseases. Therefore, nucleic acid tests (NATs) are extremely important. Inspired by intracellular DNA replication and RNA transcription, in vitro NATs have been extensively developed to improve the detection specificity, sensitivity, and simplicity. The principles of NATs can be in general classified into three categories: nucleic acid hybridization, thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification, and signal amplification. Driven by pressing needs in clinical diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, NATs have evolved to be a rapidly advancing field. During the past ten years, an explosive increase of research interest in both basic research and clinical translation has been witnessed. In this review, we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the progress to analyze nucleic acids, use nucleic acids as recognition probes, construct detection devices based on nucleic acids, and utilize nucleic acids in clinical diagnosis and other important fields. We also discuss the new frontiers in the field and the challenges to be addressed.

Abstract
DNA nanomaterials have attracted ever-increasing attention over the past decades due to their incomparable programmability and multifunctionality. In particular, DNA dendrimer nanostructures, as a major research focus, have been applied in the fields of biosensing, therapeutics, and protein engineering, benefiting from their highly branched configuration. With the aid of specific recognition probes and inherent signal amplification, DNA dendrimers can achieve ultrasensitive detection of nucleic acids, proteins, cells, and other substances, such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and exosomes. By virtue of their void-containing structures and biocompatibility, DNA dendrimers can deliver drugs or functional nucleic acids into target cells in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. Furthermore, DNA dendrimers are being applied in protein engineering for efficient directed evolution of proteins. This review summarizes the main research progress of DNA dendrimers, concerning their assembly methods and biomedical applications as well as the emerging challenges and perspectives for future research.

Abstract
DNA walkers, as intelligent artificial DNA nanomachines, have been widely used as efficient nucleic acid amplification tools that the detection sensitivity can be improved by incorporating DNA walkers into DNA biosensors. Nevertheless, since the premature release or flameout in a region of locally exhausted substrate, the walking efficiency of DNA walkers remains unsatisfactory. In this work, we design a smart tripedal DNA walker that is formed by target-initiated catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA), which can move along the DNA duplex tracks on electrode driven by toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement (TMSD) for transduction and amplification of electrochemical signals. Emphatically, this flexible tripedal DNA walker is capable of walking freely along the tracks with unconstrained walking range. Moreover, the design of multi-legged walker can weaken the derailment of leg DNA and shorten the moving time on electrode, ensuring the processive walking with high efficiency. Additionally, the persistent walking of tripedal walker is driven by cascading TMSD, which eliminates the defects of high cost and instability of enzyme-assisted amplification technology. Therefore, the tripedal DNA walker-based electrochemical biosensor has enormous potential for the applications of OTA detection, and reveals a new avenue for food safety analysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Most of chemiluminescence (CL) substrates exhibit the flash-type light emission. Therefore, the long-lasting CL system is always the crown in the field of CL-based analysis methodology. In this work, we constructed a Dox-ABEI chimeric magnetic DNA hydrogel (MDH) as a novel protease-free long-lasting CL reaction system. The functional MDH can transform flash-type ABEI/H2O2/CO2+ reaction into a glow-type CL system because of its block effect on delaying the diffusion rate of co-reactants, making the CL reaction gradually occur. More importantly, the functional MDH possessed the advantages of biocompatibility and controllability and could be well-designed to incorporate different biosensing strategies. Subsequently, we established a functional MDH-based long-lasting CL immunoassay system for ultrasensitive and highly specific detection of d-dimer and fibrin degradation products (FDPs). The designed CL immunoassay can detect d-dimer and FDP down to 53.7 and 31.6 fg/mL, respectively, with a wide line ranging from 100 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, which was superior to the previously reported CL biosensing strategies. Moreover, benefiting from the magnetic separation of MDH and excellent CL performance, the developed immunoassaying method was successfully applied in the detection of clinical samples, which showed a close correlation with clinical reference technology. Thus, this functional MDH proved to be an excellent long-lasting CL system and a potential technical platform for clinical bioanalysis applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA methylation detection is indispensable for the diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases including malignancies. Hence, it is crucial to develop a simple, sensitive, and specific detection strategy. METHODS A novel fluorescent biosensor was developed based on a simple dual signal amplification strategy using functional dendritic DNA nanostructure and signal-enriching polystyrene microbeads in combination with ligase detection reaction (LDR). Dendritic DNA self-assembled from Y-DNA and X-DNA through enzyme-free DNA catalysis of a hairpin structure, which was prevented from unwinding at high temperature by adding psoralen. Then dendritic DNA polymer labeled with fluorescent dye Cy5 was ligated with reporter probe into a conjugate. Avidin-labeled polystyrene microbeads were specifically bound to biotin-labeled capture probe, and hybridized with target sequence and dendritic DNA. LDR was triggered by adding Taq ligase. When methylated cytosine existed, the capture probe and reporter probe labeled with fluorescent dye perfectly matched the target sequence, forming a stable duplex to generate a fluorescence signal. However, after bisulfite treatment, unmethylated cytosine was converted into uracil, resulting in a single base mismatch. No fluorescence signal was detected due to the absence of duplex. RESULTS The obtained dendritic DNA polymer had a large volume. This method was time-saving and low-cost. Under the optimal experimental conditions using avidin-labeled polystyrene microbeads, the fluorescence signal was amplified more obviously, and DNA methylation was quantified ultrasensitively and selectively. The detection range of this sensor was 10-15 to 10-7 M, and the limit of detection reached as low as 0.4 fM. The constructed biosensor was also successfully used to analyze actual samples. CONCLUSION This strategy has ultrasensitivity and high specificity for DNA methylation quantification, without requiring complex processes such as PCR and enzymatic digestion, which is thus of great value in tumor diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
As an important biomarker, thrombin (TB) is a major player in thrombosis and hemostasis and has attracted increasing attention involving its determination. Herein a universal and ultrasensitive fluorescence biosensor based on a binding-induced 3D-bipedal DNA walker and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy has been proposed for cascade signal amplification detection of thrombin. In this study, we designed two proximity probes (foot 1 and foot 2) which include a specific affinity ligand for TB binding and a Pb2+-dependent DNAzyme tail sequence. In the presence of TB, the simultaneous binding of TB to foot 1 (F1) and foot 2 (F2) via TB aptamer (TBA) brings the tail sequences into close proximity and the melting temperature for tail sequences and track DNA is increased, allowing the Pb2+-dependent DNAzyme to cleave the track DNA into two short fragments which have lower affinities for the DNAzyme and, finally, leading to the release of trigger DNA (T-DNA) for subsequent CHA reaction. In the meantime, the dissociated DNA walkers (F1 and F2) explore adjacent unwound track DNA, and the walking procedure is conducted. Unlike the conventional unipedal DNA walkers that anchor foot DNA and track DNA on the same sensing surface, the proposed 3D-bipedal DNA walking machine can not only increase the local concentration of track DNA but can also improve the walking efficiency and expand the range of the walkers to some extent due to the two free feet. Moreover, with the advantages of superior sensitivity and excellent specificity, this biosensing platform exhibits a huge potential in practical application in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
DNA composite materials are at the forefront, especially for biomedical science, as they can increase the efficacy and safety of current therapies and drug delivery systems. The specificity and predictability of the Watson-Crick base pairing make DNA an excellent building material for the production of programmable and multifunctional objects. In addition, the principle of nucleic acid hybridization can be applied to realize mobile nanostructures, such as those reflected in DNA walkers that sort and collect cargo on DNA tracks, DNA robots performing tasks within living cells and/or DNA tweezers as ultra-sensitive biosensors. In this review, we present the diversity of dynamic DNA nanostructures functionalized with different biomolecules/functional units, imaging smart biomaterials capable of sensing, interacting, delivery and performing complex tasks within living cells/organisms.
