Electrochemical reduction synthesis of graphene/Nafion nanocomposite film and its performance on the detection of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine in the presence of uric acid

Smart sensor for assessment of oxidative/nitrative stress biomarkers using a dual-imprinted electrochemical paper-based analytical device

We present a novel dual-imprinted electrochemical paper-based analytical device (Di-ePAD) to simultaneously determine 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and assess oxidative and nitrative biomarkers in urine and plasma samples. The Di-ePAD was designed with hydrophobic barrier layers formed on filter paper to provide three-dimensional circular reservoirs and assembled electrodes. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized using a silica nanosphere decorated with silver nanoparticles (SiO₂@AgNPs) as a core covered with dual-analyte imprinted sites on the polymer to recognize selectively and bind the target biomarkers. This strategy drives monodispersity and enhances the conductivity of the resulting MIP core-shell products. 3-NT-MIP and 8-OHdG-MIP were synthesized by successively coating the surface of SiO₂@AgNPs with l-Cysteine via the thiol group, then terminating with MIP shells. The dual imprinted core-shell composites possess attractive properties for the target biomarkers' sensing, including catalytic activity, selectivity, and good conductivity. The Di-ePAD revealed excellent linear dynamic ranges of 0.01-500 μM for 3-NT and 0.05-500 μM for 8-OHdG, with detection limits of 0.0027 μM for 3-NT and 0.0138 μM for 8-OHdG. This newly developed method based on the synergistic effects of SiO₂@AgNPs combined with promising properties of MIP offers outstanding selectivity, sensitivity, reproducibility, simplicity, and low cost for quantitative analysis of 3-NT and 8-OHdG. The proposed Di-ePAD showed good accuracy and precision when applied to actual samples, including urine and serum samples validated by a conventional HPLC method.

A High-Response Electrochemical As(III) Sensor Using Fe3O4–rGO Nanocomposite Materials

Nowadays, heavy metal ion pollution in water is becoming more and more common, especially arsenic, which seriously threatens human health. In this work, we used Fe3O4–rGO nanocomposites to modify a glassy carbon electrode and selected square wave voltametric electrochemical detection methods to detect trace amounts of arsenic in water. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the rGO sheet, with a particle size of about 20 nm. Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that rGO provides higher sensitivity and conductive substrates. Under optimized experimental conditions, Fe3O4–rGO-modified glassy carbon electrodes showed a higher sensitivity (2.15 µA/ppb) and lower limit of detection (1.19 ppb) for arsenic. They also showed good selectivity, stability, and repeatability.

Nanostructured material-based electrochemical sensing of oxidative DNA damage biomarkers 8-oxoguanine and 8-oxodeoxyguanosine: a comprehensive review

Oxidative DNA damage plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Among oxidative DNA lesions, 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) and its corresponding nucleotide 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), the guanine and deoxyguanosine oxidation products, have gained much attention, being considered biomarkers for oxidative DNA damage. Both 8-oxoG and 8-oxodG are used to predict overall body oxidative stress levels, to estimate the risk, to detect, and to make prognosis related to treatment of cancer, degenerative, and other age-related diseases. The need for rapid, easy, and low-cost detection and quantification of 8-oxoG and 8-oxodG biomarkers of oxidative DNA damage in complex samples, urine, blood, and tissue, caused an increasing interest on electrochemical sensors based on modified electrodes, due to their high sensitivity and selectivity, low-cost, and easy miniaturization and automation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive and exhaustive overview of the fundamental principles concerning the electrochemical determination of the biomarkers 8-oxoG and 8-oxodG using nanostructured materials (NsM), such as carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphene-related materials, gold nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles, polymers, nanocomposites, dendrimers, antibodies and aptamers, and modified electrochemical sensors.

Sonochemical approach to the synthesis of metal tungstate/nafion composite with electrocatalytic properties and its electrochemical sensing performance

High-intensity ultrasound can be used to produce novel materials, offering an atypical pathway to recognized products without high bulk temperatures, high pressures, or long reaction times. A highly sensitive and selective robust modified sensor was developed using a composition of electrochemically active strontium metal (Sr) based tungstate interconnected with nafion polymer through a facile sonochemical approach. In addition, multiple parameters are important for sonochemical methods and specifically nanomaterial or electrocatalyst development during the ultrasonic irradiation. Moreover, high-intensity ultrasonic probe (Ti-horn) was used to synthesis of nanomaterial at 50 kHz and 200 W. The SrWO₄/nafion was characterized via FESEM, EDX and XRD methods. 8-HD-guanosine (8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine) is one of the major byproduct of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) oxidation. The concentrations of 8-HD-guanosine within a cell are a measurement of oxidative stress in body and however its excess level in body causes carcinogenic threats. Therefore, the quantification of 8-HD-guanosine in biological samples with high sensitivity is of great significance. The SrWO₄/nafion modified sensor displayed low detection of 14.36 nM and wide linear range (0.025-398.6 µM), compare to previous reports.

Sonochemical preparation of carbon nanosheets supporting cuprous oxide architecture for high-performance and non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor in biological samples

Copper (Cu) based metal oxides have high electrocatalytic ability. In this work, we are synthesized stone-like cuprous oxide particles (Cu₂O SNPs) covered on acid functionalized graphene oxide (GOS) sheets using ultrasonic process (50 kHz and 100 W). Besides, the chemical structural and crystalline analyses of Cu₂O SNPs@GOS composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The Cu₂O SNPs@GOS nanomaterials were tested towards detection of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in biological samples. As expected Cu₂O SNPs@GOS catalyst modified electrodes performed an outstanding catalytic ability on 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine oxidation. 8-OHdG is oxidative stress biomarker. Further, it is noted that the detection performance of Cu₂O SNPs@GOS coated electrodes and it's highly enhanced due to the synergistic effect of Cu₂O SNPs and GOS. Besides, the modified materials provide more electro-active faces and as well as rapid electron transport pathway and shorten diffusion. Moreover, oxidation of 8-OHdG sensor is exploring a long linear or working range of 0.02-1465 µM and high sensitivity (8.75 nM). The viability of the Cu₂O SNPs@GOS proposed electrochemical methods have tested, to find out 8-OHdG concentrations in biological fluids (blood serum and urine) with a satisfying recovery ranges.

A nanocomposite consisting of cuprous oxide supported on graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine

Graphitic carbon nitrides supported cuprous oxide architecture is reported as an efficient electrode material for supercapacitors, especially due to its high charge-transfer conductivity of the electrochemical devices. Herein, we present an electrochemical sensor to specifically detect 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-HDG) oxidative stress biomarker using graphitic carbon nitrides that decorate a cuprous oxide cubes modified electrode. The fabricated electrochemical sensor was characterized and proved by electrochemical methods, EDX, FESEM, and amperometry (i-t). In the presence of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-HDG), the effective interaction between graphitic carbon nitrides and 8-HDG favors the accumulation on the Cu₂O/g-C₃N₄/GCE, which increases the electrocatalytic property and amperometric response. The proposed electrochemical sensor exhibits a wide linear range for 8-HDG in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) from 25 nM to 0.91 mM, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 4.5 nM. The stability of the Cu₂O/g-C₃N₄/GCE is improved when stored at 4 °C. The repeatability and reproducibility of this electrochemical sensor is good and the sensor retains its  current response for 8-HDG detection also after long time storage. The modified sensor proved high selectivity and sensitivity for 8-HDG, which made it possible to determine 8-HDG in biological samples. Furthermore, the Cu₂O/g-C₃N₄/GCE offered a favorable electron transfer between the Cu₂O/g-C₃N₄ and the electrode interface compared to Cu₂O/GCE, g-C₃N₄/GCE, and unmodified GCE.

Facile synthesis of copper ferrite nanoparticles with chitosan composite for high-performance electrochemical sensor

Herein, the synthesis of copper ferrite nanoparticles (CuFe₂O₄ NPs)/chitosan have been prepared by sonochemical route under ultrasonic irradiation bath at 40 kHz and 50 W. A high sensitive and stable modified electrochemical sensor was developed using a composition of copper ferrite nanoparticles coordinated with biopolymer through a facile ultrasound approach. Besides, power and frequency parameters are highly important for sonochemical synthesis and specifically structure, and size of the nanomaterials development during the ultrasonic irradiation time. In this work, ultrasonic bath was used to synthesis of CuFe₂O₄ nanomaterial at 40 kHz with 1 h. CuFe₂O₄/chitosan was characterized by FESEM, EDX, XRD and electrochemical methods. Furthermore, 8-hydroxyguanine is one of biomarker by oxidative stress. The concentrations of 8-hydroxyguanine within a cell are a measurement of oxidative stress in human body. Consequently, the measurement of 8-hydroxyguanine in blood serum samples with high specificity is of greatest importance. The CuFe₂O₄/chitosan modified electrode is displayed a low detection limit of 8.6 nM and long linear range (0.025-697.175 µM).

Enzyme-free and triple-amplified electrochemical sensing of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine by three kinds of short pDNA-driven catalyzed hairpin assemblies followed by a hybridization chain reaction

A sensitive and enzyme-free electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for the sensing of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG). In the process of constructing the aptasensor, triple signal amplification strategies were introduced to enhance the sensitivity. First, every aptamer/pDNA complex immobilized on magnetic beads could release three kinds of pDNAs when 8-OH-dG was introduced, which caused three-fold magnification of the target. Second, the released three kinds of pDNAs initiated catalyzed hairpin assembly between two hairpin DNAs (HP1 and HP2) on a gold electrode. Meanwhile, the three kinds of pDNAs were released again by a strand displacement reaction to obtain the next catalyzed hairpin assembly. Third, the emerging toehold of HP2 further induced a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) between two hairpin DNAs (HP3 and HP4), forming a long double-stranded DNA concatemer on the surface of the electrode. Finally, [Ru(NH₃)₆]³⁺, an electroactive cation, was adsorbed onto the long dsDNA concatemer by electrostatic interactions and consequently, an electrochemical signal was generated. Under this triple signal amplification, a low detection limit down to 24.34 fM has been obtained for 8-OH-dG determination, which is superior to those of most previously reported methods.

To explore a novel and multi-layer based graphene oxide covered zinc oxide nanoflower (ZnO NFs@GOS) as a modified electrode materials by sonochemical technique (40 kHz, 300 W). Herein, novel nanocomposite is successfully characterized by various characterization analysis (FESEM, HRTEM, XRD, XPS and (EIS) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and employed as high sensitive modified electrode (ZnO NFs@GOS nanocomposite) for the electrochemical determination of biomarker. 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-HDG) is one of the important cancer and oxidative stress biomarker. The results demonstrated that the ZnO NFs@GOS modified SPCE reveal well-defined electro-oxidation peak at 0.36 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The high sensitive properties of the optimized flower like modified electrode are because of the excellent synergistic effect of the ZnO flower and the graphene oxide nanosheets, as evidenced by a superior bio-sensing performance. The nanocomposite fabricated modified biosensor was facilitating the analysis of 8-HDG in the concentration ranges of 0.05-536.5 µM with a low detection limit is 8.67 nM. The ZnO NFs@GOS modified sensor can also employed for the determination of 8-HDG in human urine samples, promising its application towards the quantification of cancer biomarker in biological samples.

Detection of 8-Hydroxy-2'-Deoxyguanosine Biomarker with a Screen-Printed Electrode Modified with Graphene

In this work we present the preparation of graphene material by exfoliation of graphite rods via pulses of current in electrolyte, containing a mixture of boric acid (0.05 M) and sodium chloride (0.05 M). The material was morphologically and structurally characterized by SEM/TEM/HR-TEM, XRD and FTIR techniques. TEM investigation of graphene flakes deposited onto carbon-coated grids allowed the visualization of thin and transparent regions, attributed to few-layer graphene (FLG), as well as thick and dark regions attributed to multi-layer graphene (MLG). The mixed composition of the material was additionally confirmed by XRD, which further indicated that the amount of FLG within the sample was around 83%, while MLG was around 17%. The performance of a screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with graphene (SPE-Gr) was tested for 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine detection. The graphene-modified electrode had a higher sensitivity in comparison with that of SPE, both in standard laboratory solutions (phosphate buffered saline—PBS) and in human saliva.

Controlling parameters and characteristics of electrochemical biosensors for enhanced detection of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine

This work discusses the parameters and characteristics required on the development of a scalable and reliable electrochemical sensor board for detecting 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), an oxidative stress biomarker for diabetic nephropathy, cancer and Parkinson’s disease. We used Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology to make a precise, low-cost bare sensor board. ZnO nanorods (NRs) and ZnO NRs: reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites were used as a pathway for antibody immobilization on the working electrode (WE). The parameters and characteristics of the WE were controlled for enhancing the quality of the electrochemical sensor board. Thickness of the gold and the presence of ZnO NRs or their composite on the WE have influence on charge transference process and reproducibility of the sensor board. The amount of the antibody, and its incubation period are crucial to avoid saturation of the sites during immobilization step and reduce the cost of the sensor. Our ZnO NRs-based electrochemical sensor board showed high sensitivity and selectivity to 8-OHdG with detection capacity in the range of 0.001–5.00 ng.mL⁻¹. The successful application of our immunosensor to detect 8-OHdG in urine was evidenced.

Reduced graphene oxide-ZnO nanocomposite based electrochemical sensor for sensitive and selective monitoring of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine

Developing reliable and feasible electrochemical sensors for the detection of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is important because the urinary level of 8-OHdG is related to cancer disease. Moreover, the co-existed uric acid (UA) as an interference severe affects the sensitive detection of 8-OHdG. Herein, sensitive monitoring of 8-OHdG was conducted using a nanocomposite of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO@rGO) as the sensing material. This nanocomposite was prepared via in-situ reduction of GO with Zn powders. Compared with those obtained on the unmodified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and GO modified GCE (GO/GCE) the oxidation signals of 8-OHdG are significantly enhanced on the ZnO@rGO nanocomposite coated GCE (ZnO@rGO/GCE). Moreover, uricase has been employed successfully to eliminate the interferences of UA. A large amount of UA did not affect the oxidation signals of trace level of 8-OHdG. The linear range for the detection of 8-OHdG using ZnO@rGO/GCE was from 5.0 to 5000.0 nM. The detection limit was 1.25 nM calculated from a three-signal-to-noise ratio. The developed monitoring system is sensitive and selective for the determination of 8-OHdG and thus useful in practical applications, such as for the monitoring of 8-OHdG in the clinic urine samples.

A screen printed carbon electrode modified with carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles as a sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of thiamphenicol residue in milk

Antibiotic residues in milk are of great concern for health regulatory agencies, milk consumers, and dairy farmers due to their destructive effects, ranging from allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance and the ability to interfere with the production of fermented products (i.e. cheese and yogurt). Therefore, a reliable, fast, and simple method needs to be developed to monitor antibiotic residues in milk samples before distribution to consumers. In this study, the first sensitive electrochemical sensor is presented for the determination of thiamphenicol (TAP), a broad-spectrum antibiotic in bovine milk. In the fabrication process, a screen printed electrode (SPE) was modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using ethylenediamine (en) as a cross linker. Cyclic voltammetry studies showed an adsorptive control process for the electro-oxidation of TAP at −0.1 V on the modified electrode of SPE/CNT/en/AuNPs. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was applied for the quantitative determination of TAP under optimized conditions (0.1 M citrate buffer, pH 6.0, accumulation potential −0.7 V, and accumulation time 150 s). A DPV study for TAP shows a wide linear calibration range of 0.1–30 μM with the detection limit of 0.003 μM. Furthermore, the developed sensor displays high sensitivity, reproducibility, repeatability, and good stability for the detection of TAP. The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the determination of spiked TAP in bovine milk with satisfactory results.

The first portable electrochemical sensor was constructed for monitoring of thiamphenicol residue in fresh milk based on electro-oxidation of thiamphenicol on the surface of CNTs and AuNPs.

An electrochemical aptasensor for the highly sensitive detection of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine based on the hybridization chain reaction

In the present work a highly sensitive and selective aptasensor was developed for the determination of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) based on the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) signal amplification. It was observed that the aptamer of 8-OH-dG could hybridize with the capture DNA immobilized on the gold electrode with a sticky tail left, which initiated the HCR and led to the formation of extended dsDNA structure on the electrode surface. Then the electroactive species ([Ru(NH₃)₆]³⁺, RuHex) intercalated into the dsDNA grooves to generate the amplified signal. However, in the presence of 8-OH-dG, the aptamer containing G-rich nucleic acid sequences would be induced to form a G-quadruplex structure, which made it impossible to continue the HCR. So the detection signal will significantly decrease. Under the optimal conditions, the peak current of RuHex was linear with the logarithm of 8-OH-dG concentration in the range from 10pM to 100μM with the detection limit of 2.5pM. By integrating the merits of enzyme-free amplification power of the HCR and the inherent high sensitivity of the electrochemical technique, the prepared aptasensor not only showed high sensitivity for the detection of 8-OH-dG, but also exhibited good selectivity against to the uric acid, an important interferent in the urine sample. Particularly, the aptasensor was applied to detect 8-OH-dG in urine samples with satisfactory results.

Paper-Based Sensing Device for Electrochemical Detection of Oxidative Stress Biomarker 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in Point-of-Care

This work presents a cost-effective, label-free in point-of-care (POC) biosensor for the sensitive detection of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), the most abundant oxidative product of DNA, that may allow a premature assessment of cancer disease, thereby improving diagnosis, prognostics and survival rates. The device targets the direct detection of 8-OHdG by using for the first time a carbon-ink 3-electrode on a paper substrate coupled to Differential Pulse Voltammetry readings. This design was optimized by adding nanostructured carbon materials to the ink and the conducting polymer PEDOT, enhancing the electrocatalytic properties of the sensor towards 8-OHdG detection. Meanwhile, the ability of this oxidative stress biomarker to undertake an oxidation reaction enabled the development of the sensing electrochemical device without the need of chemical probes and long incubation periods. This paper-modified sensor presented high electrochemical performance on the oxidation of 8-OHdG with a wide linear range (50–1000 ng/ml) and a low detection limit (14.4 ng/ml). Thus, our results showed the development of a direct and facile sensor with good reproducibility, stability, sensitivity and more importantly, selectivity. The proposed carbon-based electrochemical sensor is a potential candidate to be miniaturized to small portable size, which make it applicable for in-situ 8-OHdG sensing in real biological samples.

Fabrication of an electrochemical sensor for determination of doxorubicin in human plasma and its interaction with DNA

In this work, an electrochemical sensor was fabricated for determination of an anthracycline, doxorubicin (DOX) as a chemotherapy drug in plasma based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified platinum electrode (Pt/MWCNTs). DOX was effectively accumulated on the surface of modified electrode and generated a pair of redox peaks at around 0.522 and 0.647 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in Britton Robinson (B-R) buffer (pH 4.0, 0.1 M). The electrochemical parameters including pH, type of buffer, accumulation time, amount of modifier and scan rate were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, there was a linear correlation between cathodic peak current and concentration of DOX in the range of 0.05-4.0 µg/mL with the detection limit of 0.002 µg/mL. The number of electron transfers (n) and electron transfer-coefficient (α) were estimated as 2.0 and 0.25, respectively. The constructed sensor displayed excellent precision, sensitivity, repeatability and selectivity in the determination of doxorubicin in plasma. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry studies of DOX in the presence of DNA showed an intercalation mechanism with binding constant (K_b) of 1.12×10⁵ L/mol.

Constructing a novel 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine electrochemical sensor and application in evaluating the oxidative damages of DNA and guanine

8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is commonly identified as a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage. In this work, a novel and facile 8-OHdG sensor was developed based on the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). It exhibited good electrochemical responses toward the oxidation of 8-OHdG, and the linear ranges were 5.63×10(-8)-6.08×10(-6)M and 6.08×10(-6)-1.64×10(-5)M, with the detection limit of 1.88×10(-8)M (S/N=3). Moreover, the fabricated sensor was applied for the determination of 8-OHdG generated from damaged DNA and guanine, respectively, and the oxidation currents of 8-OHdG increased along with the damaged DNA and guanine within certain concentrations. These results could be used to evaluate the DNA damage, and provide useful information on diagnosing diseases caused by mutation and deficiency of the immunity system.

8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) biomarker detection down to picoMolar level on a plastic antibody film

An innovative biosensor assembly relying on a simple and straightforward in-situ construction is presented to monitor urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) down to the pmol/L level. The sensing film of the biosensor consisted of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer for 8-OHdG assembled on a gold electrode through electropolymerization of monomer combined with the template. The analytical features of the resulting biosensor were assessed by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Some experimental parameters such as the initial concentration of the monomer and the ratio template-monomer were investigated and optimized in order to finely tune the performance of the MIP-based sensor. Under optimal conditions, the developed biosensor was able to rebind 8-OHdG with a linear response against EIS from 0.1 to 100pg/ml 3.5-3500 pM. The interference of coexisting species was tested, also with calibrations on urine samples, and good selectivity towards 8-OHdG was obtained. RAMAN spectroscopy, FTIR and SEM evaluations of the prepared films confirmed the formation of a polyphenol thin-film on the electrode surface. The presence and distribution of the imprinted cavities on the MIP layer was confirmed by confocal microscopy imaging of the film, after a post-treatment with Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled 8-OHdG antibody. Overall, this label-free biosensor for urinary 8-OHdG detection constitutes a promising low-cost alternative to the conventional immunoassay approaches, due to its simplicity, stability, high sensitivity and selectivity for biological sample assays, opening new doors for other applications.
