Acta Biomater 2024; 177:472-485. [PMID: 38296012 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.01.031] [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: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
The human genome's nucleotide sequence variation, such as single nucleotide mutations, can cause numerous genetic diseases. However, detecting nucleic acids accurately and rapidly in complex biological samples remains a major challenge. While natural deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been used as biorecognition probes, it has limitations like poor specificity, reproducibility, nuclease-induced enzymatic degradation, and reduced bioactivity on solid surfaces. To address these issues, we introduce a stable and reliable biosensor called graphene oxide (GO)- threose nucleic acid (TNA). It comprises chemically modified TNA capture probes on GO for detecting and imaging target nucleic acids in vitro and in vivo, distinguishing single nucleobase mismatches, and monitoring dynamic changes in target microRNA (miRNA). By loading TNA capture probes onto the GO substrate, the GO-TNA sensing platform for nucleic acid detection demonstrates a significant 88-fold improvement in the detection limit compared to TNA probes alone. This platform offers a straightforward preparation method without the need for costly and labor-intensive isolation procedures or complex chemical reactions, enabling real-time analysis. The stable TNA-based GO sensing nanoplatform holds promise for disease diagnosis, enabling rapid and accurate detection and imaging of various disease-related nucleic acid molecules at the in vivo level. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The study's significance lies in the development of the GO-TNA biosensor, which addresses limitations in nucleic acid detection. By utilizing chemically modified nucleic acid analogues, the biosensor offers improved reliability and specificity, distinguishing single nucleobase mismatches and avoiding false signals. Additionally, its ability to detect and image target nucleic acids in vivo facilitates studying disease mechanisms. The simplified preparation process enhances practicality and accessibility, enabling real-time analysis. The biosensor's potential applications extend beyond healthcare, contributing to environmental analysis and food safety. Overall, this study's findings have substantial implications for disease diagnosis, biomedical research, and diverse applications, advancing nucleic acid detection and its impact on various fields.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is an artificial melanin polymer that has been spotlighted due to its extraordinary optoelectronic characteristics and advance theranosctic applications in biomaterial fields. Moreover, interactions on the nano-bio interface interplay whereby substances exchange in response to endogenous or exogenous stimuli, and electron transfer driven by light, energy-level transitions, or electric field greatly affect the functional performance of PDA-modified nanoparticles. The full utilization of potential in PDA's interfacial activities, optoelectrical properties and related responsiveness is therefore an attractive means to construct advanced nanostructures for regulating biological processes and metabolic pathways. Herein, we strive to summarize recent advances in the construction of functional PDA-based nanomaterials with state-of-the-art architectures prepared for modulation of photoelectric sensing and redox reversibility, as well as manipulation of photo-activated therapeutics. Meanwhile, contributions of interfacial electron transfer and matter conversion are highlighted by discussing the structure-property-function relationships and the biological effects in their featured applications including disease theranostics, antibacterial activities, tissue repair, and combined therapy. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives in this emerging research field will also be outlined. Recent advances on polydopamine-based nanotherapeutics with an emphasis on their interfacial activities, optoelectrical properties and related responsiveness are reviewed for providing insightful guidance to the rational design of integrated theranostic nanoplatforms with high performance in the biomedical fields.

Abstract
High-speed, low-cost and long-term water disinfection method is important for us to away from waterborne diseases. Nanowires-modified electrodes can inactivate microorganisms under low energy consumption. However, small processing capacity remains a major obstacle for practical application. In this study, we coated N-doped carbon layer on Cu2O NWs to improve the conductivity and stability for electrodes. Compared with Cu2O, the work functions of Cu2O-PANI structures is 3.623 eV, indicating the electrodes can prevent the recombination of electron-hole pairs and improve the carrier transport efficiency. In addition, Mulliken charge density showed that Cu2O-PANI structure reduce the oxidation trend of Cu atom and improve the stability of electrodes. Besides, the Cu2O NWs@NC electrodes showed excellent disinfection performance for E. coli and S. aureus, which can achieve 99.9% sterilizing rate under high flux (1200 mL min-1). Under this condition, the electrodes can continuously treat 576 L wastewater, which is about 10-folds handling capacity than others. Moreover, the bactericidal mechanism is synergistic of electroporation and reactive oxygen species, and the main ROS were electrons, OH and O2-. Therefore, this electrodes has a great prospect for rapid and stable water treatment system.

Abstract
Both melatonin and ascorbic acid could perform an irreplaceable role in maintaining the ecological balance of the human body and fighting cardiovascular diseases. Herein, a dual-channel photo-assisted electrochemical sensor has been fabricated based on Au post-functionalized CeFeO3 nanospheres to simultaneously monitor melatonin and ascorbic acid for the first time. Briefly, CeFeO3 nanospheres are prepared through a hydrothermal and annealing process, and then the reduced Au nanoclusters are anchored on the surface of spheres to afford the CeFeO3@Au bi-nanospherical sensing probe. Impressively, the pre-fabricated sensor can produce a current signal 11% higher under light than that produced in a dark environment during the electrochemical measurements. Subsequently, the sensor fabricated by our strategy has achieved the simultaneous determination of melatonin and ascorbic acid with the wide detecting ranges of 1 nM-5 μM and 1 nM to 2 μM, and low detection limits of 0.8 nM and 0.4 nM by electrochemical measurements with the presence of the sunlight, and has shown satisfactory recoveries in the real sample measurements, demonstrating that the CeFeO3@Au bi-nanospherical sensing probe will be an auspicious candidate of advanced electrode material in photo-assisted electrochemical sensing applications.

Abstract
Bioelectrocatalysis using redox enzymes appears as a sustainable way for biosensing, electricity production, or biosynthesis of fine products. Despite advances in the knowledge of parameters that drive the efficiency of enzymatic electrocatalysis, the weak stability of bioelectrodes prevents large scale development of bioelectrocatalysis. In this review, starting from the understanding of the parameters that drive protein instability, we will discuss the main strategies available to improve all enzyme stability, including use of chemicals, protein engineering and immobilization. Considering in a second step the additional requirements for use of redox enzymes, we will evaluate how far these general strategies can be applied to bioelectrocatalysis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous, small (approximately 22 nucleotides in length), noncoding, functional RNAs. With the development of molecular biology, the research of miRNA biological function has attracted significant interest, as abnormal miRNA expression is identified to contribute to serious human diseases such as cancers. Traditional methods for miRNA detection do not meet current demands. In particular, nanomaterial-based methods, nucleic acid amplification-based methods such as rolling circle amplification (RCA), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), strand-displacement amplification (SDA) and some enzyme-free amplifications have been employed widely for the highly sensitive detection of miRNA. MiRNA functional research and clinical diagnostics have been accelerated by these new techniques. Herein, we summarize and discuss the recent progress in the development of miRNA detection methods and new applications. This review will provide guidelines for the development of follow-up miRNA detection methods with high sensitivity and specificity, and applicability to disease diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Emerging water pollutants such as pharmaceutical contaminants are suspected to induce adverse effects to human health. These molecules became worrisome due to their increasingly high concentrations in surface waters. Despite this alarming situation, available data about actual concentrations in the environment is rather scarce, as it is not commonly monitored or regulated. This is aggravated even further by the absence of portable and reliable methods for their determination in the field. A promising way to tackle these issues is the use of enzyme-based and miniaturized biosensors for their electrochemical detection. Here, we present an overview of the latest developments in amperometric microfluidic biosensors that include, modeling and multiphysics simulation, design, manufacture, testing, and operation methods. Different types of biosensors are described, highlighting those based on oxidases/peroxidases and the integration with microfluidic platforms. Finally, issues regarding the stability of the biosensors and the enzyme molecules are discussed, as well as the most relevant approaches to address these obstacles.
