Abstract
Detecting chronic autoimmune disorders (ADs) early reduces the risk of morbidity, disability, and mortality and offers the possibility of significant therapeutic action in a timely manner. Developing low-cost, reliable, and sensitive sensors for ADs can ensure the efficient utilization of healthcare resources at earlier stages. Here, we report on the development of an electrochemical biosensor for sensing CXCL10, a chemokine protein that serves as a biomarker for autoimmune diseases. A self-assembly strategy is used for the immobilization of biorecognition elements on a plastic chip electrode (PCE). A homemade PCE offers a versatile and cost-effective scaffold for sensing applications. Gold nanoparticles were electrochemically deposited on the electrode via the reduction of gold ions on the PCE galvanostatically. The CXCL10 antibody and recognition elements were immobilized on the gold-deposited PCE. The attachment of recognition molecules was confirmed by energy-dispersive scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used for the detection of CXCL10 within a concentration range spanning from pico- to micro-molar levels. The sensor exhibited remarkable linearity in both buffer and plasma solutions, with a limit of detection (LOD) of up to 0.72 pg mL-1.

Abstract
Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC), also known as click chemistry, has been demonstrated to be highly robust while providing versatile surface chemistry. One specific application is biosensor fabrication. Recently, we developed thermoplastic electrodes (TPEs) as an alternative to traditional carbon composite electrodes in terms of cost, performance, and robustness. However, their applications in biosensing are currently limited due to a lack of facile methods for electrode modification. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of using CuAAC following the diazonium grafting of TPEs to take advantage of two powerful technologies for developing a customizable and versatile biosensing platform. After a stepwise characterization of the electrode modification procedures was performed, electrodes were modified with model affinity reagents. Streptavidin and streptavidin-conjugated IgG antibodies were successfully immobilized on the TPE surface, as confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Abstract
Serum level of CCL5 chemokine is considered an emerging biomarker for multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to the lack of specific assays for this disease, the development of a point-of-care test for rapid detection of MS could lead to avoiding diagnostics delays. In this paper, we report the first electrochemical immunoplatform for quantification of the CCL5 biomarker at the clinically required levels, able to discriminate between patients diagnosed with MS and healthy individuals. The immunosensing device involves protein capture from biological samples by complexation with biotinylated specific antibodies immobilized onto neutravidin-functionalized microparticles and sandwich assay with anti-CCL5 antibody and IgG labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for the enzyme-catalyzed amperometric detection of H2O2 using hydroquinone (HQ) as the redox mediator. The method shows excellent analytical performance for clinical application with a wide linear range of concentrations (0.1–300 ng·mL−1 CCL5, R2 = 0.998) and a low detection limit (40 pg·mL−1 CCL5). The biosensing platform was applied to the determination of the CCL5 endogenous content in 100-fold diluted sera both from healthy individuals and patients diagnosed with MS, with no further sample treatment in just two hours. The results were successfully compared with those obtained by the ELISA methodology.

Biodetection Techniques for Quantification of Chemokines. CHEMOSENSORS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/chemosensors10080294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Chemokines are a class of cytokine whose special properties, together with their involvement and relevant role in various diseases, make them a restricted group of biomarkers suitable for diagnosis and monitoring. Despite their importance, biodetection techniques dedicated to the selective determination of one or more chemokines are very scarce. For some years now, the critical diagnosis of inflammatory diseases by detecting both cytokine and chemokine biomarkers, has had a strong impact on the development of multiple detection platforms. However, it would be desirable to implement methodologies with a higher degree of selectivity for chemokines, in order to provide more precise information. In addition, better development of biosensor technology applied to this specific field would make it possible to address the main challenges of detection methods for several diseases with a high incidence in the population, avoiding high costs and low sensitivity. Taking this into account, this review aims to present the state of the art of chemokine biodetection techniques and emphasize the role of these systems in the prevention, monitoring and treatment of various diseases associated with chemokines as a starting point for future developments that are also analyzed throughout the article.

Abstract
This paper reports the preparation of the first dual electrochemical immunosensor for the simultaneous determination of the CXCL7 chemokine and the MMP3 metalloproteinase as relevant biomarkers for the better diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis derived from the multiple biomarkers measurement. The developed immunosensor involves the use of carboxylated magnetic beads (MBs) and dual screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPdCEs). Sandwich-type configurations implied the covalent immobilization of specific anti-CXCL7 (cAb1) or anti-MMP3 (cAb2) capture antibodies onto MBs and the use of biotinylated detection antibodies with further labelling with HRP-Strept conjugates. The resulting MBS bioconjugates were magnetically captured on the respective working electrode of the SPdCE and the determination of the antigens was accomplished by measuring the amperometric responses of H2O2 mediated by hydroquinone (HQ) at a potential value of -0.20 V. The dual immunosensor provided calibration plots with linear ranges between 1 and 75 ng mL-1 (CXCL7) (R2 = 0.997) and from 2.0 to 2000 pg mL-1 (MMP3) (R2 = 0.998) with detection limits of 0.8 ng mL-1 and 1.2 pg mL-1, respectively. The assay took 2 h 20 min for the simultaneous determination of both biomarkers. The dual immunosensor was successfully applied to the analysis of human serum from positive and negative RA patients.

Abstract
The multifaceted key roles of cytokines in immunity and inflammatory processes have led to a high clinical interest for the determination of these biomolecules to be used as a tool in the diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring and treatment of several diseases of great current relevance (autoimmune, neurodegenerative, cardiac, viral and cancer diseases, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes). Therefore, the rapid and accurate determination of cytokine biomarkers in body fluids, cells and tissues has attracted considerable attention. However, many currently available techniques used for this purpose, although sensitive and selective, require expensive equipment and advanced human skills and do not meet the demands of today’s clinic in terms of test time, simplicity and point-of-care applicability. In the course of ongoing pursuit of new analytical methodologies, electrochemical biosensing is steadily gaining ground as a strategy suitable to develop simple, low-cost methods, with the ability for multiplexed and multiomics determinations in a short time and requiring a small amount of sample. This review article puts forward electrochemical biosensing methods reported in the last five years for the determination of cytokines, summarizes recent developments and trends through a comprehensive discussion of selected strategies, and highlights the challenges to solve in this field. Considering the key role demonstrated in the last years by different materials (with nano or micrometric size and with or without magnetic properties), in the design of analytical performance-enhanced electrochemical biosensing strategies, special attention is paid to the methods exploiting these approaches.

Abstract
During the last few decades, magnetic nanoparticles have been evaluated as promising materials in the field of cancer detection, screening, and treatment. Early diagnosis and screening of cancer may be achieved using magnetic nanoparticles either within the magnetic resonance imaging technique and/or sensing systems. These sensors are designed to selectively detect specific biomarkers, compounds that can be related to the onset or evolution of cancer, during and after the treatment of this widespread disease. Some of the particular properties of magnetic nanoparticles are extensively exploited in cancer therapy as drug delivery agents to selectively target the envisaged location by tailored in vivo manipulation using an external magnetic field. Furthermore, individualized treatment with antineoplastic drugs may be combined with magnetic resonance imaging to achieve an efficient therapy. This review summarizes the studies about the implications of magnetic nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis, treatment and drug delivery as well as prospects for future development and challenges of magnetic nanoparticles in the field of oncology.

Abstract
Proper functionalization of electrode surfaces and/or nanomaterials plays a crucial role in the preparation of electrochemical (bio)sensors and their resulting performance. In this context, copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) has been demonstrated to be a powerful strategy due to the high yields achieved, absence of by-products and moderate conditions required both in aqueous medium and under physiological conditions. This particular chemistry offers great potential to functionalize a wide variety of electrode surfaces, nanomaterials, metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) and polymers, thus providing electrochemical platforms with improved electrocatalytic ability and allowing the stable, reproducible and functional integration of a wide range of nanomaterials and/or different biomolecules (enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids and peptides). Considering the rapid progress in the field, and the potential of this technology, this review paper outlines the unique features imparted by this particular reaction in the development of electrochemical sensors through the discussion of representative examples of the methods mainly reported over the last five years. Special attention has been paid to electrochemical (bio)sensors prepared using nanomaterials and applied to the determination of relevant analytes at different molecular levels. Current challenges and future directions in this field are also briefly pointed out.
