Abstract
Ultrasound (US) is a type of mechanical wave that is capable of transmitting energy through biological tissues. By utilization of various frequencies and intensities, it can elicit specific biological effects. US imaging (USI) technology has been continuously developed with the advantages of safety and the absence of radiation. The advancement of nanotechnology has led to the utilization of various nanomaterials composed of both organic and inorganic compounds as ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs). These UCAs enhance USI, enabling real-time monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, thereby facilitating the widespread adoption of UCAs in precision medicine. In this review, we introduce various UCAs based on nanomaterials for USI. Their principles can be roughly divided into the following categories: carrying and transporting gases, endogenous gas production, and the structural characteristics of the nanomaterial itself. Furthermore, the synergistic benefits of US in conjunction with various imaging modalities and their combined application in disease monitoring and diagnosis are introduced. In addition, the challenges and prospects for the development of UCAs are also discussed.

Abstract
The application of nanobiotechnology in biomolecule detection can provide fast and accurate tests for diagnosing molecular changing-associated diseases. The use of AuNPs-thiolated probe conjugates has long been considered as an alternative method for the detection of specific DNA/RNA targets. Here, we present a colorimetric direct detection method for the SOX2OT transcript, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), by using a poly guanine tail (G12) as a template for in situ synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) without any chemical modification or DNA labeling. We have then developed this proposed detection system based on two complementary sequences of long noncoding RNA SOX2OT with an extra strand of poly G12. Using this method, we were able to differentiate lung squamous cell carcinoma from adenocarcinoma samples. Based on this disclosure, this invention provides a simple visual method to detect specific lncRNA sequences without the need for amplifying the target lncRNA and discriminate squamous cell carcinoma from adenocarcinoma samples. Our invention provides a diagnostic kit to detect RNA by means of direct detection (PCR-free) of the lncRNA by in situ synthesis of AuNPs based on two probes with an extra strand of poly G12.

Abstract
Using a chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and H2O2 in basic solution, an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor was developed for the determination of tobramycin (TOB), as an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Ti3C2/Ni/Sm-LDH-based nanocomposite effectively catalyzes the oxidation of luminol and decomposition of H2O2, leading to the formation of different reactive oxygen species (ROSs), thus amplifying the ECL signal intensity of luminol, which can be used for the determination of TOB concentration. To evaluate the performance of the electrochemiluminescence aptasensor and synthesized nanocomposite, different methods such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses were performed. The considerable specific area, large number of active sites, and enhanced electron transfer reaction on this nanocomposite led to the development of an ECL aptasensor with high sensitivity and electrocatalytic activity. After optimizing the preparation method and analysis conditions, the aptasensor revealed a wide linear response ranging from 1.0 pM to 1.0 μM with a detection limit of 18 pM, displaying outstanding accuracy, specificity, and response stability. The developed ECL sensor was found to be applicable to the determination of TOB in human serum samples and is anticipated to possess excellent clinical potentials for detecting other antibiotics, as well.

Abstract
Microplastics adsorb toxic substances and act as a transport medium. When microplastics adsorbed with toxic substances accumulate in the body, the microplastics and the adsorbed toxic substances can cause serious diseases, such as cancer. This work aimed to develop a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection method for surface-adsorbent toxic substances by forming gold nanogaps on microplastics using surface acoustic waves (SAWs). Polystyrene microparticles (PSMPs; 1 μm) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including pyrene, anthracene, and fluorene, were selected as microplastics and toxic substances, respectively. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs; 50 nm) were used as a SERS agent. The Raman characteristic peaks of the PAHs adsorbed on the surface of PSMPs were detected, and the SERS intensity and logarithm of the concentrations of pyrene, anthracene, and fluorene showed a linear relationship (R2 = 0.98), and the limits of detection were 95, 168, and 195 nM, respectively. Each PAH was detected on the surface of PSMPs, which were adsorbed with toxic substances in a mixture of three PAHs, indicating that the technique can be used to elucidate mixtures of toxic substances. The proposed SERS detection method based on SAWs could sense toxic substances that were surface-adsorbed on microplastics and can be utilized to monitor or track pollutants in aquatic environments.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1285:342036.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dopamine (DA), a vital neurotransmitter, plays a critical role in the human brain and relates to neuropsychiatric disorders such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Numerous studies have explored detection of such biomarkers through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). However, most of the studies focused on SERS detection face significant challenges with plasmonic nanostructure development. Such challenges often include time-consuming processes, complex fabrication, specialized chemical labeling, poor reproducibility, and random hotspot generation. Therefore, the need for simple and rapid nanostructure development is evident in SERS. RESULTS We propose an innovative SERS-active sensing technique for 50 nm silver nanoparticle (AgNP) clustering based on surface acoustic wave (SAW). When a 1 μL droplet of AgNP colloid is dispensed onto the SAW-propagation zone, the AgNP cluster is deposited after the droplet completely evaporates, developing plasmonic nanogaps for SERS hotspot caused by spherical AgNP aggregation. By optimizing the SAW system through the hydrophobic treatment and modulation of the operational power, the SAW-induced AgNP clustering showed densely packed AgNP within a dot-like configuration (∼2200 AgNP μm-2), effectively preventing particle welding. The characterization of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid as a probe analyte revealed that concentrations as low as 1.14 pM was detected using our SAW-SERS system under 785 nm laser excitation. Moreover, DA was detected up to 4.28 nM with a determination of 0.99 (R2). SIGNIFICANCE This technique for AgNP clustering induced by SAW provides a rapid, in situ, label-free SERS sensing method with outstanding sensitivity and linearity. A mere act of dropping can create extensive plasmonic hotspots featuring nanogap of ∼1.5 nm. The SAW-induced AgNP clustering can serve as an ultrasensitive SERS-active substrate for diverse molecular detections, including neurotransmitter detection.

Abstract
We report here a newly and facile synthesis of the phospholipids@gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) from intact cells as a new biomimetic organic-inorganic hybrid. The most appealing feature of this nanostructure is its dual-absorbing peak in near infrared (NIR) and visible region of spectra, which makes them a potential light-sensitive agent for reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced apoptosis. Here, in contrast to previous studies, proposed nanostructures are synthesized in a one-pot reaction using phospholipids present in living cell membranes (as a donor cell) with detectable micro process of AuNF formation. The properties of the resulting AuNFs were evaluated through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), as well as FT-IR, 31P-NMR spectra and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Designed cell membrane-based nanostructure looks like an intact cell and would be able to interact with other cells (as a target cell) and also capable to produce cytotoxic singlet oxygen under NIR irradiation. Generated ROS act as a key player in initiation of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and progress of cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT). Cellular experiments on breast cancer MCF-7 cells demonstrated that they may be effective as photodynamic therapy agents.

Abstract
Fe3O4@SiO2@NiAl-LDH three-components microsphere contains a Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic core and a layered double hydroxide with nickel cation provide the binding ability to (His)-tagged-protein and exhibits high performance in protein separation and purification. The morphology and chemistry of the synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2@NiAl-LDH microspheres were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS). Purified enzyme was assesed with SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy. In this study, the separation of phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) by Fe3O4@SiO2@NiAl -LDH was performed and the effect of microsphere was investigated on the kinetic and structural properties of PheDH. After purification, kinetic parameters such as Km, Vmax, Kcat, kcat/Km, optimum temperature, thermal stability, and and activation energy were evaluated and compared according to the mentioned methods. The interaction between the enzyme and the microsphere displayed a high performance in protein binding capacity. The results also revealed that the kinetic parameters of the enzyme changed in a dose-dependent manner in the presence of a microsphere. Moreover, the results of intrinsic fluorescence and Circular Dichroism (CD) confirmed the structural changes of the protein in the interaction with the microsphere.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies are flourishing. MSCs could be used as potential therapeutic agents for regenerative medicine due to their own repair function. Meanwhile, the natural predisposition toward inflammation or injury sites makes them promising carriers for targeted drug delivery. Inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) are greatly favored for their unique properties and potential applications in biomedical fields. Current research has integrated INPs with MSCs to enhance their regenerative or antitumor functions. This model also allows the in vivo fate tracking of MSCs in multiple imaging modalities, as many INPs are also excellent contrast agents. Thus, INP-integrated MSCs would be a multifunctional biologic agent with great potential. In this review, the current roles performed by the integration of INPs with MSCs, including (i) enhancing their repair and regeneration capacity via the improvement of migration, survival, paracrine, or differentiation properties, (ii) empowering tumor-killing ability through agent loaded or hyperthermia, and (iii) conferring traceability are summarized. An introduction of INP-integrated MSCs for simultaneous treatment and tracking is also included. The promising applications of INP-integrated MSCs in future treatments are emphasized and the challenges to their clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
A bioluminescence-based assay for ATP can measure cell viability. Higher ATP concentration indicates a higher number of living cells. Thus, it is necessary to design an ATP sensor that is low-cost and easy to use. Gold nanoparticles provide excellent biocompatibility for enzyme immobilization. We investigated the effect of luciferase proximity with citrate-coated gold, silver, and gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles, gold nanorods, and BSA-Au nanoclusters. The effect of metal nanoparticles on the activity of luciferases was recorded by the luminescence assay, which was 3-5 times higher than free enzyme. The results showed that the signal stability in presence of nanoparticles improved and was reliable up to 6 h for analytes measurements. It has been suggested that energy is mutually transferred from luciferase bioluminescence spectra to metal nanoparticle surface plasmons. In addition, we herein report the 27-base DNA aptamer for adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a suitable probe for the ATP biosensor based on firefly luciferase activity and AuNPs. Due to ATP application in the firefly luciferase reaction, the increase in luciferase activity and improved detection limits may indicate more stability or accessibility of ATP in the presence of nanoparticles. The bioluminescence intensity increased with the ATP concentration up to 600 µM with a detection limit of 5 µM for ATP.

Abstract
Current advances in the fabrication of smart nanomaterials and nanostructured surfaces find wide usage in the biomedical field. In this context, nanosensors based on localized surface plasmon resonance exhibit unprecedented optical features that can be exploited to reduce the costs, analytic times, and need for expensive lab equipment. Moreover, they are promising for the design of nanoplatforms with multiple functionalities (e.g., multiplexed detection) with large integration within microelectronics and microfluidics. In this review, we summarize the most recent design strategies, fabrication approaches, and bio-applications of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) arranged in colloids, nanoarrays, and nanocomposites. After a brief introduction on the physical principles behind plasmonic nanostructures both as inherent optical detection and as nanoantennas for external signal amplification, we classify the proposed examples in colloid-based devices when plasmonic NPs operate in solution, nanoarrays when they are assembled or fabricated on rigid substrates, and nanocomposites when they are assembled within flexible/polymeric substrates. We highlight the main biomedical applications of the proposed devices and offer a general overview of the main strengths and limitations of the currently available plasmonic nanodevices.

[PMID: 36328751 PMCID: PMC9637560 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2022.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Designing drug-free polyvinyl alcohol coated stable silver triangular nano-prisms (PVA-SNT). Computational simulation of optical and photothermal properties with high in vivo experimental similarity. Stable PVA-SNT enables photoacoustic imaging-guided photothermal therapy of breast cancer. PVA-SNT exhibits enhanced photostability and high photothermal conversion efficiency.
Introduction The advanced features of plasmonic nanomaterials enable initial high accuracy detection with different therapeutic intervention. Computational simulations could estimate the plasmonic heat generation with a high accuracy and could be reliably compared to experimental results. This proposed combined theoretical-experimental strategy may help researchers to better understand other nanoparticles in terms of plasmonic efficiency and usability for future nano-theranostic research. Objectives To develop innovative computationally-driven approach to quantify any plasmonic nanoparticles photothermal efficiency and effects before their use as therapeutic agents. Methods This report introduces drug free plasmonic silver triangular nanoprisms coated with polyvinyl alcohol biopolymer (PVA-SNT), for in vivo photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided photothermal treatment (PTT) of triple-negative breast cancer mouse models. The synthesized PVA-SNT nanoparticles were characterized and a computational electrodynamic analysis was performed to evaluate and predict the optical and plasmonic photothermal properties. The in vitro biocompatibility and in vivo tumor abalation study was performed with MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line and in nude mice model. Results The drug free 140 μg∙mL−1 PVA-SNT nanoparticles with 1.0 W∙cm−2 laser irradiation for 7 min proved to be an effective and optimized theranostic approach in terms of PAI guided triple negative breast cancer treatment. The PVA-SNT nanoparticles exhibits excellent biosafety, photostability, and strong efficiency as PAI contrast agent to visualize tumors. Histological analysis and fluorescence-assisted cell shorter assay results post-treatment apoptotic cells, more importantly, it shows substantial damage to in vivo tumor tissues, killing almost all affected cells, with no recurrence. Conclusion This is a first complete study on computational simulations to estimate the plasmonic heat generation followed by drug free plasmonic PAI guided PTT for cancer treatment. This computationally-driven theranostic approach demonstrates an innovative thought regarding the nanoparticles shape, size, concentration, and composition which could be useful for the prediction of photothermal heat generation in precise nanomedicine applications.
