[PMID: 38503119 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125908] [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: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective upconversion near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and colorimetric dual readout hydrogen sulfide (H2S) nanoprobe was constructed based on the excellent NIR fluorescence emission performance of upconversion nanomaterials (UCNPs), the specific recognition effect of synergistically synthesized gold nanoflowers (trypsin-stabled AuNFs (Try-AuNFs)) and the effective NIR fluorescence quenching capability. In this assay, the sensing strategy included three processes. First of all, the synthesized UCNPs can emit 803 nm NIR fluorescence when they were excited by 980 nm excitation light. Secondly, as a result of the principle of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), Try-AuNFs can effectively quench the NIR fluorescence of UCNPs at 803 nm, which can effectively improve the signal-to-background ratio of nanoprobes, thereby improving the sensitivity of the probes. Thirdly, in the presence of H2S, the Try protective layer on the surface of Try-AuNFs was specifically penetrated, which will subsequently cleave Try-AuNFs via the strong S-Au bond. As such, the NIR fluorescence of UCNPs will be restored, achieving high selectivity and sensitivity detection of H2S. Under optimized conditions, the linear response range of H2S was 0.1-300 μM, and the detection limit was 53 nM. It is worth noting that the Try on the surface of Try-AuNFs via the synergistic effect can increase the steric hindrance of the probe, and this can effectively prevent the interaction between the probe with biothiols (cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy)) and other natural amino acids (non-thiol-containing) with resultant in the high selectivity regarding the detection of H2S in human serum, which is unlikely to be achieved by AuNFs synthesized by the gold seed method (Se-AuNFs). This work not only provided a new type of UCNPs fluorescence quencher and recognition unit, but also exemplified that the use of the physical properties (steric hindrance) of protein ligands on the surface of nanoflowers can improve the specificity of the probe. This will provide new ideas for the design of other nanoprobes.

Abstract
Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors that are applicable in biofluids (urine, blood, and saliva). Particularly, the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions is highly desirable due to a lack of suitable biosensors. In addition, the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms by optical probes and chemosensors is becoming increasingly important in molecular biology and medicine. Thus, new perspectives for personalized diagnostics, theranostics, and biochemical/medical research will be unlocked when standing limitations of artificial binders and receptors are overcome. In this review, we survey synthetic sensing systems that have promising (future) application potential for the detection of small molecules, cations, and anions in aqueous media and biofluids. Special attention was given to sensing systems that provide a readily measurable optical signal through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or nanoparticles featuring plasmonic effects. This review shall also enable the reader to evaluate the current performance of molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors in terms of sensitivity and selectivity with respect to practical requirement, and thereby inspiring new ideas for the development of further advanced systems.

Abstract
A terthiophene-functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 silica, i.e., TTU-SBA-15, was successfully developed and used as a highly selective and ultrasensitive fluorescence sensor for methyl orange (MO) detection. When the concentration of MO was increased, the fluorescence emission intensity of TTU-SBA-15 suspensions at 452 nm gradually decreased at an excitation wavelength of 368 nm, and the color of the suspension solutions changed obviously from blue to dark under 365 nm UV light. The fluorescence intensity at 452 nm was linearly proportional to the concentration of MO in the range 0.20 - 2.0 μM, with a detection limit of 0.092 μM. Competitive pollutants, variations in pH, and sample recycling had subtle or negligible effects on the detection of MO. TTU-SBA-15 was applied to the determination of MO in tap water, and recoveries from spiked samples were in the range 98.3 - 103.0%. This study provides a convenient and effective strategy to realize highly sensitive and selective sensors that could target dyes via the functional modification of mesoporous materials.
