Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1285:342026. [PMID: 38057049 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342026] [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: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Since microRNAs (miRNAs) are valuable biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, the pursuit of enhanced detection sensitivity through signal amplification strategies has emerged as a prominent focus in low-abundance miRNA detection research. DNA walkers, as dynamic DNA nanodevice, have gained significant attention for their applications as signal amplification strategies. To overcome the limitations of unipedal DNA walkers with a restricted signal amplification efficiency, there is a great need for multi-pedal DNA walkers that offer improved walking and signal amplification capabilities. Here, we employed a combination of catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and APE1 enzymatic cleavage reactions to construct a tripedal DNA walker, driving its movement to establish a cascade signal amplification system for the electrochemical detection of miRNA-155. The biosensor utilizes tumor cell-endogenous microRNA-155 and APE1 as dual-trigger for DNA walker formation and walking movement, leading to highly efficient and controllable signal amplification. The biosensor exhibited high sensitivity, with a low detection limit of 10 pM for microRNA-155, and successfully differentiated and selectively detected microRNA-155 from other interfering RNAs. Successful detection in 20 % serum samples indicates its potential clinical application. In addition, we harnessed strand displacement reactions to create a gentle yet efficient electrode regeneration strategy, to addresses the time-consuming challenges during electrode modification processes. We have successfully demonstrated the stability of current signals even after multiple cycles of electrode regeneration. This study showcased the high-efficiency amplification potential of multi-pedal DNA walkers and the effectiveness and versatility of strand displacement in biosensing applications. It opens a promising path for developing regenerable electrochemical biosensors. This regenerable strategy for electrochemical biosensors is both label-free and cost-effective, and holds promise for detecting various disease-related RNA targets beyond its current application.

Abstract
Thrombin is a serine protease with an essential role in homeostasis and blood coagulation. During vascular injuries, thrombin is generated from prothrombin, a plasma protein, to polymerize fibrinogen molecules into fibrin filaments. Moreover, thrombin is a potent stimulant for platelet activation, which causes blood clots to prevent bleeding. The rapid and sensitive detection of thrombin is important in biological analysis and clinical diagnosis. Hence, various biosensors for thrombin measurement have been developed. Biosensors are devices that produce a quantifiable signal from biological interactions in proportion to the concentration of a target analyte. An aptasensor is a biosensor in which a DNA or RNA aptamer has been used as a biological recognition element and can identify target molecules with a high degree of sensitivity and affinity. Designed biosensors could provide effective methods for the highly selective and specific detection of thrombin. This review has attempted to provide an update of the various biosensors proposed in the literature, which have been designed for thrombin detection. According to their various transducers, the constructions and compositions, the performance, benefits, and restrictions of each are summarized and compared.

[PMID: 33639166 PMCID: PMC8027283 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2020] [Revised: 02/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The C1 (reductase) subunit of 4-hydroxy-phenylacetate (4-HPA) 3-hydroxylase (HPAH) from the soil-based bacterium Acinetobacterbaumannii catalyzes NADH oxidation by molecular oxygen, with hydrogen peroxide as a by-product. 4-HPA is a potent allosteric modulator of C1, but also a known urinary biomarker for intestinal bacterial imbalance and for some cancers and brain defects. We thus envisioned that C1 could be used to facilitate 4-HPA detection. The proposed test protocol is simple and in situ and involves addition of NADH to C1 in solution, with or without 4-HPA, and direct acquisition of the H2O2 current with an immersed Prussian Blue–coated screen-printed electrode (PB-SPE) assembly. We confirmed that cathodic H2O2 amperometry at PB-SPEs is a reliable electrochemical assay for intrinsic and allosterically modulated redox enzyme activity. We further validated this approach for quantitative NADH electroanalysis and used it to evaluate the activation of NADH oxidation of C1 by 4-HPA and four other phenols. Using 4-HPA, the most potent effector, allosteric activation of C1 was related to effector concentration by a simple saturation function. The use of C1 for cathodic biosensor analysis of 4-HPA is the basis of the development of a simple and affordable clinical routine for assaying 4-HPA in the urine of patients with a related disease risk. Extension of this principle to work with other allosteric redox enzymes and their effectors is feasible.

Abstract
This work designed an anchored monopodial DNA walker to amplify amperometric biosensing signal for sensitive detection of nucleic acid and protein. The biosensing surface was constructed by self-assembling hairpin DNA1 (H1) and small amount of P1-W (probe DNA1 hybridized with walking DNA) on a gold electrode. In the presence of target molecule, the walker could be triggered by the surface proximity hybridization product of P1, target and P2 to induce the cyclic hybridization of H1 with ferrocene modified hairpin DNA2 (H2-Fc), which took electroactive Fc to the electrode surface for amplified amperometric detection of the target. By linking P1 and P2 with dual specific DNA strands, aptamers or antibodies to recognize the target for proximity hybridization of P1 and P2, the walker amplified amperometric strategy could be used for highly sensitive biosensing of different targets. Using DNA and thrombin as the target models, the proposed biosensing methods achieved the linear range from 0.2 pM to 2 nM with a detection limit of 0.11 pM and 1.0 pM to 10 nM with a detection limit of 0.61 pM, respectively. The specific recognition process endowed the strategy with high selectivity and potential applications.

Abstract
Biosensors that can analyze a single drop of biological fluid can overcome limitations such as extraction volume from humans or animals, ethical problems, time, and cost. In this work, we have developed a highly sensitive electrochemical (EC) biosensor based on a nanowell array (NWA) for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a serum indicator of bone formation. The size of the electrode is 2 × 1 mm2 and has over 10 million nanowells (400 nm diameter) arranged uniformly on the electrode surface. For detecting ALP, anti-ALP was immobilized and oriented on the NWA surface using a self-assembled monolayer and protein G. EC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to determine the amount of ALP in 10 μL of sample. The impedance was calibrated with ALP concentration. The NWA has a linear dynamic range from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) at 12 pg/mL. We used the sensor to measure the ALP in real mouse serum from 4, 10, and 20 weeks old mice and compared the results to the standard photometric assay. This work demonstrates the potential of EC NWA sensors to analyze a single drop of a real body fluid sample and to be developed for broad applications.

A novel electrochemical biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of serum total bile acids based on enzymatic reaction combined with the double oxidation circular amplification strategy. Biosens Bioelectron 2018; 118:31-35. [PMID: 30055417 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2018.07.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2018] [Revised: 07/01/2018] [Accepted: 07/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Serum total bile acids (TBA) level is used as a sensitive and reliable index for hepatobiliary diseases in clinics. Herein, a novel electrochemical biosensor was fabricated using enzymatic reaction coupling with the double oxidation circular amplification strategy for the detection of human serum TBA. With the catalysis of 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD), 3α-bile acids reacted specifically with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). And then, the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) was produced. After that, the NADH reacted with the electron mediator of tris(2,2'-bipyridine) ruthenium(Ⅲ) (Ru(bpy)33+), which was then transformed to Ru(bpy)32+. Ultimately, Ru(bpy)32+ was further oxidized to Ru(bpy)33+ under a certain voltage, which was detected by the chronoamperometry assay. The detection was performed using a disposable unmodified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) without sample preparation. The proposed biosensor showed high sensitivity and accuracy with the linear range from 5.0 to 150.0 pmol/L in 106-fold dilution serum. The established method had a good correlation with the enzymatic cycling method (r = 0.9372, P < 0.001, n = 72) commonly used in clinic. The electrochemical biosensor is simple, ultrasensitive and without sample pretreatment, showing great potential for point-of-care testing (POCT) of serum TBA in clinical samples. In addition, the biosensor is cost-effective with a small volume of samples, especially suitable for those who have difficulties in blood collection, such as infants, children and some small animals.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A), one of the most abundant RNA methylation which is ubiquitous in eukaryotic RNA, plays vital roles in many biological progresses. Therefore, the rapid and accurate quantitative detection of m6A is particularly important for its functional research. Herein, a label-free and highly selective electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of m6A. The method is established on that the anti-m6A-Ab can recognize both m6A-RNA and m6A-DNA. An analogous modified DNA probe (L1) serves as a signal molecule, by competing with m6A-RNA for binding to Abs to broaden the linear range. The detection of m6A-RNA by this method is unaffected by the lengths and base sequences of RNA. Under optimal conditions, the proposed immunosensor presented a wide linear range from 0.05 to 200 nM with a detection limit as low as 0.016 nM (S/N = 3). The specificity and reproducibility of the method are satisfactory. Furthermore, the developed immunosensor was validated for m6A determination in human cell lines. Thus, the immunosensor provides a promising platform for m6A-RNA detection with simplicity, high specificity and sensitivity.
