Abstract
In modern society, due to the sharp increase in pollutants that cause DNA damage, there is a growing demand for innovative detection techniques and biomarkers. In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of HepG2 cells exposed to CdCl2 was investigated, and the electrochemical response mechanism of DNA damage was identified by exploring the correlation between the DNA damage response and purine metabolism. Western blot analysis revealed that the expression levels of ATM and Ku70 increased at 0.3 μM CdCl2, indicating a DNA damage response and activation of DNA repair processes. Simultaneously, elevated expression levels of PRPP aminotransferase, HPRT, and XOD were observed, leading to an increase in intracellular purine levels and electrochemical signals. The expression of Ku70 peaked at 0.5 μM CdCl2, indicating the highest DNA repair activity. The expression profiles of these purine metabolism proteins mirrored those of Ku70, suggesting a strong correlation between the activation of purine metabolism and DNA damage repair. Consistently, intracellular purine levels exhibited a similar trend, leading to corresponding changes in electrochemical signals. In summary, electrochemical using intracellular purines as biomarkers has the potential to emerge as a novel method for detecting early DNA damage.

Abstract
The electrochemical detection method of cytotoxicity using intracellular purines as biomarkers has shown great potential for in vitro drug toxicity evaluation. However, no electrochemical detection system based on an in vitro drug metabolism mechanism has been devised. In this paper, electrochemical voltammetry was used to investigate the effect of the S9 system on the electrochemical behavior of HepG2 cells, and benzo[a]pyrene, fluoranthene, and pyrene were employed to investigate the sensitivity of electrochemical signals of cells to the cytotoxicity of drugs metabolized by the S9 system. The results showed that, within 8 h of exposure to the S9 system, the electrochemical signal of HepG2 cells at 0.7 V did not alter noticeably. The levels of xanthine, guanine, hypoxanthine, and adenine in the cells were not significantly altered. Compared with the absence of S9 system metabolism, benzo[a]pyrene and fluoranthene processed by the S9 system decreased the electrochemical signal of the cells in a dose-dependent manner, while pyrene did not change it appreciably. HPLC also revealed that benzo[a]pyrene and fluoranthene metabolized by the S9 system decreased the intracellular purine levels, whereas pyrene had no effect on them before and after S9 system metabolism. The cytotoxicity results of the three drugs examined by electrochemical voltammetry and MTT assay showed a strong correlation and good agreement. The S9 system had no effect on the intracellular purine levels or the electrochemical signal of cells. When the drug was metabolized by the S9 system, variations in cytotoxicity could be precisely detected by electrochemical voltammetry.

Abstract
Aim Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is a key characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, a chronic respiratory disorder. The mechanisms of CIH-induced metabolic disturbance and histopathological damage remain unclear. Methods CIH-induced rats underwent daily 8-h CIH, characterized by oxygen levels decreasing from 21% to 8.5% over 4 min, remaining for 2 min, and quickly returning to 21% for 1 min. The control rats received a continuous 21% oxygen supply. The levels of hypersensitive C reactive protein (h-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) were measured by ELISA. Histological analysis of the soft palates was conducted using HE staining. The microbial profiling of fecal samples was carried out by Accu16STM assay. Untargeted metabolomics of serum and soft palate tissue samples were analyzed by UPLC-MS. The protein expression of cAMP-related pathways in the soft palate was determined by Western blot. Results After 28 h of CIH induction, a significant increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines was observed in the serum, along with mucosal layer thickening and soft palate tissue hypertrophy. CIH induction altered the diversity and composition of fecal microbiota, specifically reducing beneficial bacteria while increasing harmful bacteria/opportunistic pathogens. Notably, CIH induction led to a significant enrichment of genera such as Dorea, Oscillibacter, Enteractinococcus, Paenibacillus, Globicatella, and Flaviflexus genera. Meanwhile, Additionally, CIH induction had a notable impact on 108 serum marker metabolites. These marker metabolites, primarily involving amino acids, organic acids, and a limited number of flavonoids or sterols, were associated with protein transport, digestion and absorption, amino acid synthesis and metabolism, as well as cancer development. Furthermore, these differential serum metabolites significantly affected 175 differential metabolites in soft palate tissue, mainly related to cancer development, signaling pathways, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide precursor or intermediate metabolism, respiratory processes, and disease. Importantly, CIH induction could significantly affect the expression of the cAMP pathway in soft palate tissue. Conclusions Our findings suggest that targeting differential metabolites in serum and soft palate tissue may represent a new approach to clinical intervention and treatment of OSA simulated by the CIH.

A dual-functional module cellular electrochemical sensing platform for simultaneous detection guanine and xanthine. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 226:115104.

Abstract
The separation of the superimposed electrochemical signals of intracellular guanine (G) and xanthine (X) is difficult, which is great obstacle to the application of cell electrochemistry. In this paper, independent functional modules, G-functional module (G-FM) and X-functional module (X-FM), were constructed by molecular imprinting technology for sensitive detection of G and X without mutual interference, then integrated in dual-functional module cellular electrochemical sensing platform (DMCEP) as signal sensing units. DMCEP transmitted signals of G and X in cells synchronously to two windows by two signal sensing channels, and achieved the separation of superimposed signals of G and X in cells. DMCEP exhibited satisfactory reproducibility with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.10 and 2.22 %, repeatability with RSD of 3.72 and 3.05 % for G and X detection, and detection limit 0.05 μΜ for G and 0.06 μΜ for X. Good linear relationships between cell concentrations and the signals of G and X on DMCEP were shown in range of 0.75-85 × 106 and 3-85 × 106 cells/mL, respectively. The growth of MCF-7 cells was tracked by DMCEP, and showed consistent trend with the cell counting method, while the change of cell viability from lag to logarithmic phase captured by DMCEP was earlier than that of cell counting method. This strategy provided the foundation for the establishment of the cell viability electrochemical detection method, and new insights into the simultaneous recording of other analyses with superimposed peak positions and the simultaneous tracking of multiple biomarkers.

Abstract
Some heavy metals in the environment may have estrogen-like activity, which probably lead to major diseases such as breast cancer. It is of great importance to establish new methods to evaluate the estrogen effect of heavy metals from multiple angles due to the complex mechanism of estrogen effect. In this paper, using MCF-7 cells as model, the electrochemical detection mechanism of the estrogen effect of heavy metal cadmium (Cd) was studied. The two electrochemical signals of MCF-7 cells derived from uric acid (0.30 V) and the mixture of guanine and xanthine (0.68 V) increased in a time and dose-dependent manner when MCF-7 cells induced by Cd, reaching the maximum at 96 h and 10-9 mol L-1. Further studies found that three purine metabolism pathways about de novo synthesis, salvage synthesis and decomposition metabolism were activated by the estrogen effect of Cd. The expression of PRPP amidotransferase in purine de novo synthesis pathway and HPRT in purine salvage synthesis pathway up-regulated, especially HPRT, which promoted cell proliferation together. Nevertheless, the expression of GDA and ADA, the key enzymes in purine decomposition metabolism pathway, up-regulated in a time and dose-dependent manner, which had same tendency with that of ERα, thereby increased the content of intracellular hypoxanthine, guanine, xanthine and uric acid, and enhanced electrochemical signals.

Abstract
Breast cancer is categorized as the most widespread cancer type among women globally. On-time diagnosis can decrease the mortality rate by making the right decision in the therapy procedure. These features lead to a reduction in medication time and socioeconomic burden. The current review article provides a comprehensive assessment for breast cancer diagnosis using nanomaterials and related technologies. Growing use of the nano/biotechnology domain in terms of electrochemical nanobiosensor designing was discussed in detail. In this regard, recent advances in nanomaterial applied for amplified biosensing methodologies were assessed for breast cancer diagnosis by focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches. We also monitored designing methods, advantages, and the necessity of suitable (nano) materials from a statistical standpoint. The main objective of this review is to classify the applicable biosensors based on breast cancer biomarkers. With numerous nano-sized platforms published for breast cancer diagnosis, this review tried to collect the most suitable methodologies for detecting biomarkers and certain breast cancer cell types.

Abstract
Thiram has been widely used in agriculture and may invades the food chain, posing a threat to human health. In this research, a label-free electrochemical cell-based biosensor was presented for in vitro toxicity assessment of thiram. HepG2 cells were cultured on poly-l-lysine@gold nano-flowers functionalized indium tin oxide coated glass electrode (PLL@AuNFs/ITO) to serve as biorecognition elements. AuNFs were electrodeposited on ITO to provide an enlarged specific surface area and benefited the output signal amplification. PLL was selected as an effective biocompatible coating material to facilitate cell adhesion and proliferation, thereby realizing one-step recording of electrochemical signals from thiram-treated cells. With the aid of the differential pulse voltammetry method, the fabricated biosensor was applied to assess the cytotoxicity of thiram. Results showed that the cytotoxicity measured by the fabricated biosensor exhibited a linear relationship related to thiram concentration ranging from 5 to 50 μM with a detection limit of 2.23 μM. The IC50 of thiram obtained by the biosensor was 29.5 μM, which was close to that of conventional MTT assay (30.8 μM). The effects of thiram on HepG2 cells were also investigated via SEM and flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the proposed biosensor was used to evaluate the toxicity of thiram in fruit samples. Results indicated that the toxicity of thiram cannot be ignored even at a low residual concentration in food (≤5 mg/kg). In conclusion, the developed sensor showed excellent sensitivity, stability, and reliability, which provided a great capacity for the convenient toxicity evaluation of thiram residue in food.

Abstract
Chinese chicken broth is well known for its outstanding nutritional value and flavor, widely consumed in China. This study was designed to develop a sensitive and accurate high-performance liquid chromatography-variable wavelength detector (HPLC-VWD) method to simultaneously determine purines and uric acid in Chinese chicken broth for gout and hyperuricemia dietary management. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Agilent TC-C18 (2) column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5.0 µm), using 0.02 M KH2PO4 (pH 4.0) as a mobile phase. Sample pretreatment was optimized to enable the extraction of all analytes from Chinese chicken broth. The optimal pretreatment conditions were chicken broth-60% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/20% formic acid (FA) (1:1, v/v) in a volume ratio of 1:3 and hydrolysis for 40 min at 85 °C in a water bath. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) of the purines and uric acid were 0.58-1.71 µg/L and 1.92-5.70 µg/L, respectively. The recoveries were 91-101%, with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 3%. The complete method has been successfully applied to determine purines and uric acid in various Chinese chicken soups obtained from different provinces in China.

Abstract
Developing a cost-effective and simple micro-analysis tool has long been an important objective in the toxicological detection of fluorene. In this study, a disposable paper-based micro-analysis device (μ-PAD) was designed using graphite doped with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to hand draw the electrode (MWCNTs/μ-PAD). We investigated the feasibility of the designed MWCNTs/μ-PAD as a cell-sensing platform using voltammetry measurements. Its application for evaluating the cytotoxicity of fluorene was studied based on the electrochemical determination of human breast cancer cells induced by fluorene. The results showed a dose-dependent toxicity effect of fluorene on cellular activity. The measurements were comparable with those obtained using a methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium assay. The detection limit of the MWCNTs/μ-PAD for human breast cancer cells was as low as 4.00 × 103 cells·mL-1 owing to the enhanced catalytic activity of the MWCNTs. Notably, the MWCNTs/μ-PAD-which had a diameter of 7.00 mm-allowed a sampling volume of 10.0 μL, which is 50.0 times less than the sampling volume required with a conventional electrode (500 μL). Advantages such as the simplicity of manufacture, low consumption, low cost, rapid detection, and disposability, suggest that the MWCNTs/μ-PAD could provide new opportunities and directions for in vitro microanalysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cell viability and cytotoxicity is one of the most important toxicology indicators. In this study, an electrochemical method for detecting cell viability and cytotoxicity was discussed with the intracellular small molecule metabolite purines as indexes. METHODS The electrochemical behaviors of Balb/c 3T3, CHO, PC-12 and V79 cell suspensions were studies by cyclic voltammetry, and cell viability and cytotoxicity of four cell lines were compared by electrochemical, cell counting, 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-Thiazyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and trypan blue exclusion methods. RESULTS Four cell lines all showed an oxidation peak derived from mixture of xanthine and guanine at about 0.7 V. Using intracellular xanthine and guanine as index, the electrochemical method could not only describe the cell growth curves of four cell lines, but also reflect the changes of cell viability at various phases of the cell growth prior to the counting method. Compared with MTT, cell counting and trypan blue staining methods, the electrochemical method could detect the cytotoxicity of carcinogen earlier and more sensitively. DISCUSSION The electrochemical method could track the change of intracellular xanthine and guanine contents, and used it as index to detect cell viability and cytotoxicity at the molecular level without markers, showing greater advantages over the method with apparent cell proliferation as the endpoint.
