Abstract
The food contamination with Ochratoxin A (OTA) has highlighted the need to create precise, sensitive, and convenient techniques. Herein, we proposed a label-free and immobilization-free ratiometric homogeneous electrochemical aptasensor based on dual catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA) for OTA detection. Methylene blue (MB) and ferrocene (Fc) in solution were utilized as label-free signaling molecules, generating a response signal (IMB) and a reference signal (IFc), respectively. The ratio of IMB/IFc was utilized as a measure to quantify OTA. Dual CHA was exploited to increase the ratiometric signal and enhance the amplification efficiency. This aptasensor achieved trace-level detection for OTA over a linear range of lower concentrations (1.0 × 10-3 ng/mL-1.0 × 103 ng/mL) with LOD of 92 fg/mL. The aptasensor was successfully applied to detect OTA in cereal and wine, with comparable results of HPLC-MS/MS. This strategy provided a viable platform for rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection of OTA in food.

A G-quadruplex-assisted target-responsive dual-mode aptasensor based on copper nanoclusters synthesized in situ in a DNA hydrogel for ultrasensitive detection of ochratoxin A. Talanta 2024; 270:125550. [PMID: 38104426 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125550] [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: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Developing ultrasensitive sensing platforms for trace ochratoxin A (OTA) in food safety is still challenging. Herein, we presented a novel dual-mode sensing strategy for fluorescence and colorimetric detection of OTA by combining the target-responsive hemin-encapsulated and copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) functionalized DNA hydrogel. Through simple assembly and in situ synthesis methods, fluorescence CuNCs are synthesized and modified on the 3D hydrophilic network structure of DNA cross-linked. OTA specifically recognized by Apt-linker can control the collapse of hydrogel, resulting in the fluorescence quenching of CuNCs and release of coated hemin. Interestingly, OTA could trigger Apt-linker conformational changes to form G-quadruplex structures, allowing the released hemin to form G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme via self-assembly. Fluorescence signal amplification could be achieved through further fluorescence quenching of CuNCs caused by DNAzyme-catalyzed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) because of the peroxidase activity of DNAzyme. Simultaneously, DNAzyme could catalyze the H2O2-mediated oxidation of TMB to provide colorimetric signal. Thereafter, the DNA-CuNCs hydrogel exhibited low detection limits of 3.49 pg/mL in fluorescence mode and 0.25 ng/mL in colorimetric modality. Real sample analyses of foodstuffs showed satisfactory results, providing prospective potential for monitoring mycotoxin contaminant.

Abstract
In this work, a lateral moving multi-pedal DNA tetrahedron machine (MTM) is designed and coupled with dual-signal output system to construct a biomimetic electrochemical ratiometric strategy for ultrasensitive target DNA analysis. The tetrahedral structure provided rigid support for the pedal, ensuring efficient replacement of the rail chain modified with ferrocene. By conjugating cholesterol molecules to one vertex of MTM, it is decorated on a lipid bilayer. This molecular architecture confers lateral movement of MTM on an electrode surface while prevents its detachment from the system. The methylene blue tagged hairpin probe provides constant power to support MTM swim on lipid bilayer. Compared with the conventional motion mode, the lateral moving mechanism has the fastest reaction rate and the highest signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, the dual-signal reporting system further improves the accuracy of target detection on the basis of ensuring motion efficiency. The work improved movement efficiency and shortened time fragment. A linear relationship between the ratio value of two reporters and target DNA concentration was observed from 0.5 fM to 50 pM with a detection limit of 28 aM. The lateral motion mode of DNA machine coalescing with ratiometric system made this sensing platform ultrasensitive and accurate, which holds new avenue of early diagnosis.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 246:115891. [PMID: 38056341 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115891] [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: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Printed circuit board (PCB) based biosensors have often utilized hard gold electroplating, that nullifies the cost advantages of this technology as compared to screen printed electrodes. Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) is a popular gold deposition process widely used in PCB manufacturing, but vulnerable to pinhole defects and large surface roughness, which compromises biosensor performance. In this work, we present a method to address these challenges through electrodeposition of methylene blue (MB) to cover surface defects and improve electroactivity of ENIG PCB electrodes. We also demonstrate a process to realize in situ synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using acid-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as scaffold, that are used to immobilize antibody for the target molecule (myeloperoxidase: MPO, early warning biomarker for cardiovascular diseases) through a modified cysteamine/gluteraldehyde based process. The processing steps on the electrode surface are developed in a manner that do not compromise the integrity of the electrode, resulting in repeatable and reliable performance of the sensors. Further, we demonstrate a cost-effective microfluidic packaging process to integrate a capillary pump driven microfluidic channel on the PCB electrode for seamless introduction of samples for testing. We demonstrate the ability of the sensor to distinguish clinically abnormal concentrations of MPO from normal concentrations through extensive characterization using spiked serum and blood plasma samples, with a limit of detection of 15.79 ng/mL.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic pollutant in foods, and its actual detection is crucial. A novel and sensitive dual signaling ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor based on nanoporous gold (NPG) was proposed to determine OTA. NPG, with high specific surface area and conductivity, improved the sensitivity by immobilizing more aptamers. Meanwhile, the dual signaling ratiometric strategy improved the detection reproducibility through self-referencing and built-in correction. NPG and ratiometric strategy multi-amplified the dual signal changes. The sensitivity of OTA was evaluated by the ratio of methylene to ferrocene current values. Under the optimal conditions, the NPG-based aptasensor demonstrated excellent sensitivity with a wide linear range of 1 pg/mL to 2 ng/mL and the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 pg/mL for OTA. This developed aptasensor also effectively detected OTA in spiked Cordyceps sinensis and grape juice samples, with recovery values falling in the 98.49-108.0% range.

Abstract
Lung cancer has been one of the leading causes of death over the past century. Unfortunately, the reliance on conventional methods to diagnose the phenotypic properties of tumors hinders early-stage cancer diagnosis. However, recent advancements in identifying disease-specific nucleotide biomarkers, particularly microRNAs, have brought us closer to early-stage detection. The roles of miR-155, miR-197, and miR-182 have been established in stage I lung cancer. Recent progress in synthesizing nanomaterials with higher conductivity has enhanced the diagnostic sensitivity of electrochemical biosensors, which can detect low concentrations of targeted biomarkers. Therefore, this review article focuses on exploring electrochemical biosensors based on microRNA in lung cancer.

Abstract
Here, we develop an all-in-one strategy for efficient assembly of an electrochemical aptasensor. A multifunctional structure based on a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) was synthesized via a one-step annealing process, providing DNA fixation, target recognition, signal amplification and space regulation. Based on the integration of this multifunctional structure, the sensing interface was assembled in one step. A ratiometric aptasensor was constructed by anchoring methylene blue (MB) to the TDN and ferrocene (Fc) on the cDNA. Using the ratio of the currents obtained from Fc and MB as a measure, the developed aptasensor shows excellent analytical performance for fumonisin B1 detection. This strategy is universal and could simplify the fabrication of aptasensors.

Abstract
Silicon dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized and disposable screen-printed electrodes were modified with these nanoparticles to electrochemically detect the interaction between DNA and patulin, a mycotoxin. Firstly, the synthesized silicon dioxide nanoparticles were chemically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Microscopic characterization of the nanoparticles was performed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The surface of the silicon dioxide nanoparticle-modified screen-printed electrode was characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SiNP modification resulted in a 2-fold increase in surface area and a 2.3-fold enhancement in the signal. The detection limit (LOD) for the electrochemical patulin determination was calculated as 1.15 µg/mL, and the linear concentration range was found to be 3.2-20 µg/mL. The mode of interaction between patulin and dsDNA was determined through a molecular docking study. After the interaction between patulin and dsDNA, approximately 86 % and 23 % decreases were observed in patulin and guanine oxidation signals, respectively. The S % value for patulin was calculated by utilizing the decrease in the guanine signal after the interaction.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination in food products can easily cause serious health hazards and economic losses to human beings. How to accurately detect and effectively control mycotoxin contamination has become a global concern. Mycotoxins conventional detection techniques e.g; ELISA, HPLC, have limitations like, low sensitivity, high cost and time-consuming. Aptamer-based biosensing technology has the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity, wide linear range, high feasibility, and non-destructiveness, which overcomes the shortcomings of conventional analysis techniques. This review summarizes the sequences of mycotoxin aptamers that have been reported so far. Based on the application of four classic POST-SELEX strategies, it also discusses the bioinformatics-assisted POST-SELEX technology in obtaining optimal aptamers. Furthermore, trends in the study of aptamer sequences and their binding mechanisms to targets is also discussed. The latest examples of aptasensor detection of mycotoxins are classified and summarized in detail. Newly developed dual-signal detection, dual-channel detection, multi-target detection and some types of single-signal detection combined with unique strategies or novel materials in recent years are focused. Finally, the challenges and prospects of aptamer sensors in the detection of mycotoxins are discussed. The development of aptamer biosensing technology provides a new approach with multiple advantages for on-site detection of mycotoxins. Although aptamer biosensing shows great development potential, still some challenges and difficulties are there in practical applications. Future research need high focus on the practical applications of aptasensors and the development of convenient and highly automated aptamers. This may lead to the transition of aptamer biosensing technology from laboratory to commercialization.

Abstract
Viral proteases play a crucial role in viral infection and are regarded as promising targets for antiviral drug development. Consequently, biosensing methods that target viral proteases have contributed to the study of virus-related diseases. This work presents a ratiometric electrochemical sensor that enables highly sensitive detection of viral proteases through the integration of target proteolysis-activated in vitro transcription and the DNA-functionalized electrochemical interface. In particular, each viral protease-mediated proteolysis triggers the transcription of multiple RNA outputs, leading to amplified ratiometric signals on the electrochemical interface. Using the NS3/4A protease of the hepatitis C virus as a model, this method achieves robust and specific NS3/4A protease sensing with sub-femtomolar sensitivity. The feasibility of this sensor was demonstrated by monitoring NS3/4A protease activities in virus-infected cell samples with varying viral loads and post-infection times. This study provides a new approach to analyzing viral proteases and holds the potential for developing direct-acting antivirals and novel therapies for viral infections.

Abstract
The public health problem caused by mycotoxins contamination has received a great deal of attention worldwide. Mycotoxins produced by filamentous fungi widely distributed in foodstuffs can cause adverse impacts on humans and livestock, posing serious health threats. Particularly worth mentioning is that mycotoxins can accumulate in organisms and be enriched through the food chain. Improving early trace detection and control from the source is a more desirable approach than the contaminated food disposal process to ensure food safety. Conventional sensors are susceptible to interference from various components in intricate food matrices when detecting trace mycotoxins. The application of ratiometric sensors avoids signal fluctuations, and reduce background influences, which casts new light on developing sensors with superior performance. This work is the first to provide an overview of the recent progress of ratiometric sensors in the detection of mycotoxins in intricate food matrices, and highlight the output types of ratiometric signal with respect to accurate quantitative analysis. The prospects of this field are also included in this paper and are intended to have key ramifications on the development of sensing detection conducive to food safety.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) pollution in agricultural products has raised the pressing to develop sensitive, accurate and convenient detection methods. Herein, an accurate and ultrasensitive ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was proposed based on catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) for OTA detection. In this strategy, the target recognition and CHA reaction were both accomplished in the same system, which avoided tedious multi-steps operation and extra reagents, providing the advantage of convenience with only a one-step reaction and without enzyme. The labeled Fc and MB were used as the signal-switching molecules, avoiding various interferences and greatly improving the reproducibility (RSD: 3.197%). This aptasensor achieved trace-level detection for OTA with LOD of 81 fg/mL in the linear range of lower concentration (100 fg/mL-50 ng/mL). Moreover, this strategy was successfully applied to OTA detection in cereals with comparable results of HPLC-MS. This aptasensor provided a viable platform for accurate, ultrasensitive, and one-step detection of OTA in food.

Abstract
A hairpin DNA-enabled ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor is reported for sensitive and reliable detection of malathion (MAL). The approach employs hairpin DNA (ferrocene-labeled, Fc-hDNA) as a carrier to hybridize MAL aptamers (methylene blue-labeled, MB-Apt) to form double-stranded DNA structures on an electrode. The presence of MAL induces the removal of aptamers, and hDNA re-forms hairpin structures, causing a decrease in the oxidation current of MB (IMB) and an increase in the oxidation current of Fc (IFc). The ratiometric signal of IFc/IMB responds quantitatively to MAL concentrations. To compare analytical performances, a linear single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is also used to construct the ssDNA-based aptasensor. We demonstrate that hairpin DNA possessing a rigid two-dimensional structure can improve the assembly efficiency of aptamers and the stability of redox probes. The approach combines the advantages of the ratiometric electrochemical method with hairpin DNA-based conformational switching probes, enabling hDNA-based aptasensor with enhanced sensitivity and reliability, offering a linear range of 0.001 to 1.0 ng mL-1. The platform was applied to detect MAL in lettuce, and the statistical analysis indicated that no significant differences were found between the developed platform and HPLC-MS.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi in cereals and foodstuffs during the stages of cultivation and storage. Electrochemical biosensing has emerged as a rapid, efficient, and economical approach for the detection and quantification of mycotoxins in different sample media. An electrochemical biosensor consists of two main units, a recognition receptor and a signal transducer. Natural or artificial antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), peptides, and DNAzymes have been extensively employed as selective recognition receptors for the electrochemical biosensing of mycotoxins. This article affords a detailed discussion of the recent advances and future prospects of various types of recognition receptors exploited in the electrochemical biosensing of mycotoxins.

Abstract
Based on DNA strand replacement reaction and aptamer-specific recognition, a simple dual-labeled DNA nanostructure is designed for the simultaneous detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). C1 is labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, while C2 and C3 are labeled with BHQ2. The fluorescence intensity of DNA nanostructure composed of C1, C2 and C3 is weak because of fluorescence resonance energy transfer. When OTA Aptamer (OTA-Apt) and AFB1 Aptamer (AFB1-Apt) are added to the homogeneous system at the same time, C1 can be replaced with the help of toehold strand displacement, resulting in fluorescence enhancement. In the presence of both OTA and AFB1, the toehold strand displacement reaction is inhibited due to preferential binding between the target and their corresponding aptamers. The limit of detection of OTA was 0.007 ng/mL and that of AFB1 was 0.03 ng/mL. The recoveries of OTA and AFB1 were 96%-101% and 97%-101% in the corn sample, and 99%-101% and 92%-106% in the wine sample. Compared with other sensors, the preparation of this aptasensor needs simpler experimental steps and a shorter total-preparing time, confirming the convenient, rapid, and time-saving operation process.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) frequently contaminates grains and consequently threatens human health. Herein, we develop a regenerable signal probe and apply it to a Au-based screen-printed electrode module (SPE) for OTA determination. The signal probe, containing a structural covalent organic framework, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), indicative methylene blue (MB), and a highly selective aptamer, is synthesized with hydrothermal and self-assembly methods. The SPE is permanently functionalized with Prussian blue (PB), AuNPs, and semicomplementary ssDNA. The signal probe, absorbed onto this SPE via hybridization, is competitively expelled by OTA, providing a ratiometric readout of ΔIMB/IPB. Probe regeneration, to erase expired COF-Au-MB-Apt after each analysis, is established with the synergy of OTA-conducted Apt-ssDNA dissociation and on-chip thermal regulation. This advantage powerfully guarantees reduplicative analyses by avoiding irreversible Apt-OTA combination and accumulation on the sensing interface. Regenerations are performed in repetitive cycles (N = 7) with 98.5% reproduction efficiency, and IMB and IPB fluctuations are calculated as 1.45 and 1.12%. This method shows log-linear OTA response in a wide range from 0.2 pg/mL to 0.6 μg/mL, and the limit of detection is 0.12 pg/mL. During natural OTA determinations, recommended readouts match well with HPLC with less than 4.82% relative error.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination has become a challenge in the field of food safety testing, given the increasing emphasis on food safety in recent years. Mycotoxins are widely distributed, in heavily polluted areas. Food contamination with these toxins is difficult to prevent and control. Mycotoxins, as are small-molecule toxic metabolites produced by several species belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium growing in food. They are considered teratogenic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic to humans and animals. Food systems are often simultaneously contaminated with multiple mycotoxins. Due to the additive or synergistic toxicological effects caused by the co-existence of multiple mycotoxins, their individual detection requires reliable, accurate, and high-throughput techniques. Currently available, methods for the detection of multiple mycotoxins are mainly based on chromatography, spectroscopy (colorimetry, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering), and electrochemistry. This review provides a comprehensive overview of advances in the multiple detection methods of mycotoxins during the recent 5 years. The principles and features of these techniques are described. The practical applications and challenges associated with assays for multiple detection methods of mycotoxins are summarized. The potential for future development and application is discussed in an effort, to provide standards of references for further research.

Abstract
Nucleic-acid aptamers consisting in single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides emerged as very promising biorecognition elements for electrochemical biosensors applied in various fields such as medicine, environmental, and food safety. Despite their outstanding features, such as high-binding affinity for a broad range of targets, high stability, low cost and ease of modification, numerous challenges had to be overcome from the aptamer selection process on the design of functioning biosensing devices. Moreover, in the case of small molecules such as metabolites, toxins, drugs, etc., obtaining efficient binding aptamer sequences proved a challenging task given their small molecular surface and limited interactions between their functional groups and aptamer sequences. Thus, establishing consistent evaluation standards for aptamer affinity is crucial for the success of these aptamers in biosensing applications. In this context, this article will give an overview on the thermodynamic and structural aspects of the aptamer-target interaction, its specificity and selectivity, and will also highlight the current methods employed for determining the aptamer-binding affinity and the structural characterization of the aptamer-target complex. The critical aspects regarding the generation of aptamer-modified electrodes suitable for electrochemical sensing, such as appropriate bioreceptor immobilization strategy and experimental conditions which facilitate a convenient anchoring and stability of the aptamer, are also discussed. The review also summarizes some effective small molecule aptasensing platforms from the recent literature.

Abstract
Contamination of agricultural products and foods by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is becoming a serious global problem, and the presence of AFB1 in edible oil is frequent and has become inevitable, especially in underdeveloped countries and regions. As AFB1 results from a possible degradation of aflatoxins and the interaction of the resulting toxic compound with food components, it could cause chronic disease or severe cancers, increasing morbidity and mortality. Therefore, rapid and reliable detection methods are essential for checking AFB1 occurrence in foodstuffs to ensure food safety. Recently, new biosensor technologies have become a research hotspot due to their characteristics of speed and accuracy. This review describes various technologies such as chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, ELISA techniques, and biosensing techniques, along with their advantages and weaknesses, for AFB1 control in edible oil and provides new insight into AFB1 detection for future work. Although compared with other technologies, biosensor technology involves the cross integration of multiple technologies, such as spectral technology and new nano materials, and has great potential, some challenges regarding their stability, cost, etc., need further studies.

Abstract
Patulin (PAT) is an unsaturated lactone mycotoxin primarily produced by Penicillium expansum and Aspergillus clavatus. Given the potential health risks and economic losses associated with PAT, the rapid detection of PAT using fluorescent aptasensors is of significant importance in evaluating food safety. However, it easily increases the cost and complexity caused by signal labeling. We combined TCPP/BDC-NH2 mixed ligands functionalized Zr metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFmix) and terminated three-stranded DNA gates (ttsDNA gates) to fabricate a label-free fluorescent aptasensor for PAT detection. The Zr-MOFmix system was synthesized via a one-pot strategy and could be used to address the problem of pore size limitation and increase the loading amounts of dyes. TtsDNA gate was integrated into the Zr-MOFmix system to control the release of dyes, exhibiting a high signal-to-background ratio. The single-stranded aptamer region in ttsDNA gate situated away from the surface of the Zr-MOFmix, resulting in a natural release of dyes in the absence of PAT. While binding to PAT resulted in target-induced conformational changes that helped form the hairpin structure of the aptamer. This structure hindered the release of dyes from the pores of Zr-MOFmix, thus reducing the fluorescence signals intensity. The stimuli-responsive DNA-gated material provides a platform for PAT analysis under conditions of a low limit of detection (0.871 pg/mL). Furthermore, the excellent specificity and anti-interference of the fluorescent aptasensor make the system suitable for the analysis of apple juice samples. This label-free strategy is cheaper and simper compared with labeled detection, especially for the development of multi-target-detection.

Abstract
The sensitive analysis of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) holds promise for the minimally invasive early diagnosis of brain cancers such as pediatric medulloblastoma but remains challenging due partially to a lack of facile yet sensitive sensing methods. Herein, an enzyme-free triple-signal amplification electrochemical assay for miRNA was developed by integrating the target-triggered cyclic strand-displacement reaction (TCSDR), hybridization chain reaction (HCR), and methylene blue (MB) intercalation. In this assay, the presence of target miRNA (miR-9) initiated the TCSDR and produced primers that triggered the subsequent HCR amplification to generate copious double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs) on the electrode surface. Intercalation of a large number of MB reporters into the long nicked double helixes of dsDNAs yielded a more enhanced signal of differential pulse voltammetry. The enzyme-free multiple-amplification approach allowed for highly sensitive (detection limit: 6.5 fM) and sequence-specific (single-base mismatch resolution) detection of miR-9 from tumor cells and human CSF with minimal sample consumption (10 μL). Moreover, the clinical utilization of this method was documented by accurate discrimination of five medulloblastoma patients from the nontumoral controls. In light of its sensitivity, specificity, and convenience of use, this electrochemical method was expected to facilitate the early detection of malignant brain tumors.

Abstract
A strand displacement-based "signal-off" electrochemical aptasensor is reported for the detection of Mucin 1 (MUC 1) based on a high original signal. Different from the conventional "signal-off" electrochemical biosensors where electrochemical substances are dispersed in electrolyte solution, here the current signal was generated by the complementary probe (CP) associated with ferrocene (Fc) labeled aptamer (Apt.-Fc). Because Apt.-Fc and MUC 1 have a higher affinity, Apt.-Fc dissociates from CP in the presence of MUC 1, resulting in a reduction of detection current signal generated by oxidation of labeled Fc. In this system, high detection signal is necessary to improve the sensor's performance. For this aim, a strategy is proposed for changing the modalities of electron transport and the quantity of Apt.-Fc introduced by simply tuning the sequence constitution of CP. As expected, a high detection current signal was obtained after selecting CP(Apt.-Fc)-TTT as the optimal CP. The aptasensor was then employed to detect MUC 1, and satisfactory detection results with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.087 pM (S/N = 3), good specificity, good stability, and feasibility of detection of MUC 1 in artificial serum (recovery of 92-101%, RSD of 1.36-5.23%) were obtained.

Abstract
Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) can be used as noninvasive biomarkers and are also found circulating in body fluids such as blood. Dysregulated miRNA expression is associated with many diseases, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the miRNA assay is helpful in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring. In this work, a versatile electrochemical biosensing system is developed for miRNA detection by DNAzyme-cleavage cycling amplification and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification. With cleavage by Mn2+ targeted DNAzyme, DNA-walker can move along the predesigned DNA tracks and contribute to the transduction and enhancement of signals. For the electrochemical process, the formation of multiple G-quadruplex-incorporated long double-stranded DNA (dsDNA/G-quadruplex) structures is triggered through HCR amplification. The introduction of G-quadruplex allows sensitive measurement of miRNA down to 5.68 fM with good specificity. Furthermore, by profiling miRNA in the NSCLC cohort, this designed strategy shows high efficiency (area under the curve (AUC) of 0.879 using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis) with the sensitivity of 80.0% for NSCLC early diagnosis (stage I). For the discrimination of NSCLC and benign disease, the assay displays an AUC of 0.907, superior to six clinically-acceptable protein tumor markers. Therefore, this platform holds promise in clinical application toward NSCLC diagnosis and prognosis.

A ratiometric electrochemical DNA-biosensor for detection of miR-141. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:213.

Abstract
A sensitive biosensor for the detection of miR-141 has been constructed. The DNA-biosensor is prepared by first immobilizing the thiolated methylene blue-labeled hairpin capture probe (MB-HCP) on two-layer nanocomposite film graphene oxide-chitosan@ polyvinylpyrrolidone-gold nanourchin modified glassy carbon electrode. We used the hematoxylin as an electrochemical auxiliary indicator in the second stage to recognize DNA hybridization via the square wave voltammetry (SWV) responses that record the accumulated hematoxylin on electrode surfaces. The morphology and chemical composition of nanocomposite was characterized using TEM, FE-SEM, and FT-IR techniques. The preparation stages of the DNA-biosensor were screened by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The proposed DNA-biosensor can distinguish miR-141 from a non-complementary and mismatch sequence. A detection limit of 0.94 fM and a linear range of 2.0 -5.0 × 105 fM were obtained using SWV for miR-141 detection. The working potential for methylene blue and hematoxylin was -0.28 and + 0.15 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively. The developed biosensor can be successfully used in the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by directly measuring miR-141 in human plasma samples. This novel DNA-biosensor is of promise in early sensitive clinical diagnosis of cancers with miR-141 as its biomarker.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on a hairpin DNA (hpDNA) probe and exonuclease Ⅰ (Exo Ⅰ)-assisted target recycling amplification strategy. A thiolated methylene blue (MB)-labeled hpDNA as the internal control element was fixed on the surface of the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-modified gold electrode (AuE) through Au-S bonds. A ferrocene (Fc)-modified aptamer DNA (Fc-Apt) was partially hybridized with hpDNA to form a Fc-Apt/hpDNA duplex. Due to the specific recognition of Fc-Apt to CEA, the presence of CEA caused dissociation of Fc-Apt from the duplex, and further triggered the degradation process of Exo Ⅰ and recycling of CEA. Hence, the Fc tags were released from the electrode surface and the oxidation peak current of Fc (IFc) decreased while that of MB (IMB) remained stable owing to the distance between MB tags and the electrode unchanged. A linear relationship was observed between IFc/IMB and the logarithm of CEA concentration from 10 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 1.9 pg mL-1. Moreover, the developed aptasensor had been applied to detect CEA in diluted human serum with satisfactory results, indicating its great potential in practical applications.

Abstract
The accurate and reliable analysis of aflatoxin B2 (AFB2) is widely required in food and agricultural industries. In the present work, we report the first use of a ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor for AFB2 detection with high selectivity and reliability. The working principle relies on the conformation change of the aptamer induced by its specific recognition of AFB2 to vary the ratiometric signal. Based on this principle, the proposed aptasensor collects currents generated by thionine–graphene composites (ITHI) and ferrocene-labeled aptamers (IFc) to output the ratiometric signal of ITHI/IFc. In analysis, the value of ITHI remained stable while that of IFc increased with higher AFB2 concentration, thus offering a “signal-off” aptasensor by using ITHI/IFc as a yardstick. The fabricated aptasensor showed a linear range of 0.001–10 ng mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.19 pg mL−1 for AFB2 detection. Furthermore, its applicability was validated by using it to detect AFB2 in peanut and peanut oil samples with high rates of recovery. The developed ratiometric aptasensor shows the merits of simple fabrication and high accuracy, and it can be extended to detect other mycotoxins in agricultural products.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination has raised global concerns in agricultural and food industry; thus, sensitive, accurate and rapid AFB1 sensors are essential in many circumstances. Herein, we developed a label-free and immobilization-free ratiometric homogeneous electrochemical aptasensor based on hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for facile and rapid determination of AFB1. Methylene blue (MB) and ferrocene (Fc) were used as label-free probes to produce a response signal (IMB) and a reference signal (IFc) in solution phase, respectively. The ratio of IMB/IFc was used as a yardstick to quantify AFB1. HCR was exploited to enlarge the intensity of IMB as well as ratiometric signal. By combining label-free homogeneous assay and ratiometric strategy, the resulting aptasensor offered sensitive, rapid, and reliable determinations of AFB1 with a detection limit of 38.8 pg mL-1. The aptasensor was then used to determine AFB1 in cereal samples with comparable reliability as HPLC-MS.

Abstract
Signal amplification provides an effective way to improve detection performance. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for Pb2+ detection was developed based on a dual signal-amplification strategy of the abscission of a quencher and the generation of a G-quadruplex by one-step and simultaneous way. Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots linked with complementary DNA (cDNA-NCQDs) at the sensing interface was applied as the quencher of a tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(dcbpy)32+)/tripropylamine system to minimize the ECL signal due to the intermolecular hydrogen bond-induced energy-transfer process. Upon the addition of Pb2+, its specific binding with the aptamer triggered the abscission of cDNA-NCQDs, accompanied by the formation of G-quadruplex on the surface of the electrode, both of which amplified the intensity of the light emission. The ECL amplification efficiency induced by the above two mechanisms (78.6%) was valuably greater than that of their sum value (69.3%). This synergistic effect resulted in high detection sensitivity of the ECL aptasensor, which allowed to thereby obtain Pb2+ measurements in the range of 1 fM - 10 nM with an ultra-low detection limit of 0.19 fM. The Pb2+-mediated synergistic signal-amplification ECL strategy can provide a new approach for integrating various amplification strategies.

Development of a novel liquid crystal Apta-sensing platform using P-shape molecular switch. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 199:113882.

Abstract
Described herein is a liquid crystal (LC)-based aptasensor via employing the reorientation of LC triggered by the conformational changes of a P-shaped DNA structure. The structure consists of a short linker sequence as an immobilizer probe with ability to hybridize with the central part of the intact aptamer (Apt) sequence and an Apt terminal-locker (ATL) strand with complementary segments of the Apt terminal fragments. Bindings of two arm segments of the Apt sequence with the ATL strand enforces it to form a P-shaped configuration on the sensing platform. The selective interaction between the Apt strand and OTA leads to the disassembly of the Apt-ATL hybrid, collapse of the P-shaped structure, and consequently, transition of the optical appearance of the aptasensor texture. Determination of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in foods is an urgent demand in attempt to minimize food safety risks. To demonstrate the feasibility of our aptasensing design, the OTA specific aptamer was selected as a model. The developed LC aptasensor possesses a wide linear range from 0.01 aM to 100 pM, ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0078 aM, and quantitative recoveries of 91-103.51% for OTA in rice and grape juice samples. This study proposes a novel and universal LC-based platform for facile, ultra-sensitive, and precision sensing of hazardous analytes in real samples.

Abstract
Here, we developed a homogeneous electrochemical biosensor for the sensitive determination of antibiotic by the CHA reaction and the consecutive adenine mediated probe fixation. The binding of target to the target recognition sequences in the triple-helix DNA can release the trigger. It can initiate the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) to generate lots of mimic targets, which were labeled with electroactive substance ferrocene (Fc). Because the generated mimic target has consecutive sequence of adenines (PolyA), they can be self-assembled on the AuNPs modified electrode and finally realize electrochemical detection. Under optimal conditions, this developed biosensor achieved a satisfactory limit of detection of 0.089 nM (S/N = 3) and a linear range from 0.1 nM to 100 nM for sensitive detection of oxytetracycline with good specificity. The whole process is carried out in homogeneous solution, not only realizes signal amplification, but also avoids the complex modification process of electrode surface. Compared with some reported electrochemical sensors, the method is easier to operate and has good precision.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensor has great potential in the detection of small molecules by virtues of low cost, fast response, and easy to miniaturization. However, electrochemical sensing of ochratoxin A (OTA) was seriously hindered by the heavy electrode-fouling effect and poor electrochemical activity inherent from OTA molecular. Herein, two-dimensional titanium carbide (2D Ti3C2) MXene incorporated with carboxylic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs) was developed as a glassy carbon electrode modifier for rapid and sensitive detection of OTA. Physical characterizations combined with electrochemical techniques revealed that cMWCNTs can not only prevent the restacking of 2D Ti3C2nanosheets but also facile its electron transfer, leading to a nanohybrid with a high specific surface and good electrocatalytic activity to OTA. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical sensor showed a good linear response to OTA in a concentration range from 0.09 to 10μmol·l-1and a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.028μmol·l-1. The proposed sensor was impelled successive times to detect OTA, a good repeatability was obtained, indicating the constructed sensor possessed good anti-fouling property. Moreover, satisfactory recoveries between 91.8% and 103.2% were obtained in the real sample analysis of grape and beer, showing that the developed sensing technique is reliable for the screening of trace OTA in food resources.

Abstract
Two types of organic-inorganic hybrid structure-related lanthanide (Ln)-included selenotungstates (Ln-SeTs) [H2N(CH3)2]11Na7[Ce4(H2PTCA)2(H2O)12(HICA)]2[SeW4O17]2[W2O5]4[SeW9O33]4·64H2O (1, H3PTCA = 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid, H2ICA = itaconic acid) and [H2N(CH3)2]6Na4[Ln4SeW8(H2O)14(H2PTCA)2O28] [SeW9O33]2·31H2O [Ln = Pr3+ (2), Nd3+ (3)] were obtained by Ln nature control. The primary frameworks of 1-3 are composed of trivacant Keggin-type [B-α-SeW9O33]8- and [SeW4Om]n- [Ln = Ce3+ (1), m = 17, n = 6; Ln = Pr3+ (2), Nd3+ (3), m = 18, n = 8] fragments bridged by organic ligands and Ln clusters. Intriguingly, Ln nature results in the degradation of hexameric 1 to trimeric 2-3. Besides, 1@DMDSA and 3@DMDSA composites (DMDSA·Cl = dimethyl distearylammonium chloride) were prepared through the cation exchange method, which were then reorganized to form two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb thin films by the breath figure method. Using these honeycomb thin films as electrode materials, the aptasensors were further established by utilizing methylene blue as an indicator and cDNA and Au nanoparticles as signal amplifiers to enhance the response signal so as to realize the purpose of ochratoxin A (OTA) detection. This work provides a new platform for detecting OTA and explores the application potential of POM-based composites in biological and clinical analyses.

Abstract
Food safety monitoring assays based on synthetic recognition structures such as aptamers are receiving considerable attention due to their remarkable advantages in terms of their ability to bind to a wide range of target analytes, strong binding affinity, facile manufacturing, and cost-effectiveness. Although aptasensors for food monitoring are still in the development stage, the use of an electrochemical detection route, combined with the wide range of materials available as transducers and the proper immobilization strategy of the aptamer at the transducer surface, can lead to powerful analytical tools. In such a context, employing aryldiazonium salts for the surface derivatization of transducer electrodes serves as a simple, versatile and robust strategy to fine-tune the interface properties and to facilitate the convenient anchoring and stability of the aptamer. By summarizing the most important results disclosed in the last years, this article provides a comprehensive review that emphasizes the contribution of aryldiazonium chemistry in developing electrochemical aptasensors for food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors are an increasingly attractive option for the development of a novel analyte detection method, especially when integration within a point-of-use device is the overall objective. In this context, accuracy and sensitivity are not compromised when working with opaque samples as the electrical readout signal can be directly read by a device without the need for any signal transduction. However, electrochemical detection can be susceptible to substantial signal drift and increased signal error. This is most apparent when analysing complex mixtures and when using small, single-use, screen-printed electrodes. Over recent years, analytical scientists have taken inspiration from self-referencing ratiometric fluorescence methods to counteract these problems and have begun to develop ratiometric electrochemical protocols to improve sensor accuracy and reliability. This review will provide coverage of key developments in ratiometric electrochemical (bio)sensors, highlighting innovative assay design, and the experiments performed that challenge assay robustness and reliability.
