[PMID: 39195399 DOI: 10.3390/nano14161361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024]
Abstract
Biomarkers play a pivotal role in the screening, diagnosis, prevention, and post-treatment follow-up of various malignant tumors. In certain instances, identifying these markers necessitates prior treatment due to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment. Consequently, advancing techniques that exhibit selectivity, specificity, and enable streamlined analysis hold significant importance. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are considered synthetic antibodies because they possess the property of molecular recognition with high selectivity and sensitivity. In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the investigation of these materials, primarily driven by their remarkable adaptability in terms of tailoring them for specific target molecules and integrating them into diverse analytical technologies. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of molecular imprinting techniques, highlighting their application in developing sensors and analytical methods for cancer detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Therefore, MIPs offer great potential in oncology and show promise for improving the accuracy of cancer screening and diagnosis procedures.

Abstract
Prostate and lung cancers are the most common types of cancer and affect a large part of the population around the world, causing deaths. Therefore, the rapid identification of cancer can profoundly impact reducing cancer-related death rates and protecting human lives. Significant resources have been dedicated to investigating new methods for early disease detection. Cancer biomarkers encompass various biochemical entities, including nucleic acids, proteins, sugars, small metabolites, cytogenetic and cytokinetic parameters, and whole tumor cells in bodily fluids. These tools can be utilized for various purposes, such as risk assessment, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment efficacy, toxicity evaluation, and predicting a return. Due to these versatile and critical purposes, there are widespread studies on the development of new, sensitive, and selective approaches for the determination of cancer biomarkers. This review illustrates the significant lung and prostate cancer biomarkers and their determination utilizing electrochemical sensors, which have the advantage of improved sensitivity, low cost, and simple analysis. Additionally, approaches such as improving sensitivity with nanomaterials and ensuring selectivity with MIPs are used to increase the performance of the sensor. This review aims to overview the most recent electrochemical biosensor applications for determining vital biomarkers of prostate and lung cancers in terms of nanobiosensors and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based biosensors.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) has become a promising recognition technology in various fields due to its specificity, high efficiency, stability and eco-friendliness in the recognition of target. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), known as 'artificial receptors', are shown similar properties to natural receptors as a biomimetic material. The selectivity of recognition for targets can be greatly improved when MIPs are introduced into sensors, as known that MIPs, are suitable for the pretreatment and analysis of trace substances in complex matrix samples. At present, various sensors has been developed by the combination with MIPs for detecting and identifying trace compounds, biological macromolecules or other substances, such as optical, electrochemical and piezoelectric sensors. Smart phones, with their built-in sensors and powerful digital imaging capabilities, provide a unique platform for the needs of portability and instant detection. MIP sensors based on smart phones are expected to become a new research direction in the future. This review discusses the latest applications of MIP sensors in the field of detection and recognition in recent years, summarizes the frontier progress of MIP sensor research based on smart phones in the past two years, and points out the challenges, limitations and future development prospects.

Electrochemical bio- and chemosensors for cancer biomarkers: Natural (with antibodies) versus biomimicking artificial (with aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers) recognition. Talanta 2024; 267:125259. [PMID: 37806110 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Electrochemical (EC) bio- and chemosensors are highly promising for on-chip and point-of-care testing (POST) devices. They can make a breakthrough in early cancer diagnosis. Most current EC sensors for cancer biomarkers' detection and determination use natural antibodies as recognition units. However, those quickly lose their biorecognition ability upon exposure to harsh environments, comprising extreme pH, humidity, temperature, etc. So-called "plastic antibodies," including aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), are hypothesized to be a smart alternative to antibodies. They have attracted the interest of the sensor research community, offering a low cost-to-performance ratio with high stability, an essential advantage toward their commercialization. Herein, we critically review recent technological advances in devising and fabricating EC bio- and chemosensors for cancer biomarkers, classifying them according to the type of recognition unit used into three categories, i.e., antibody-, aptamer-, and MIP-based EC sensors for cancer biomarkers. Each sensor fabrication strategy has been discussed, from the devising concept to cancer sensing applications, including using different innovative nanomaterials and signal transduction strategies. Moreover, employing each recognition unit in the EC sensing of cancer biomarkers has been critically compared in detail to enlighten each recognition unit's advantages, effectiveness, and limitations.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 650:1319-1326. [PMID: 37478749 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.07.105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical sensors (MIPES) have gained significant attention in the detection field due to their high selectivity and accuracy. However, their sensitivity still needs improvement. Here we developed a TiO2-based MIPES (TiO2 NRs/NiOOH/rMIP) to detect ciprofloxacin (CIP). We identified the photoactive sites of TiO2 by NiOOH photo-deposition and anchored the imprinted sites on the photoactive sites by complexation between CIP and NiOOH. By regulating the imprinted sites, the photocurrent difference before and after the addition of CIP increases and the detection sensitivity of CIP is improved. Moreover, a PN heterojunction is formed between TiO2 and NiOOH, which enables rapid transfer of photoexcited holes and electrons to different semiconductors under the built-in electric field. This leads to improved photoactivity of TiO2 and further increases the sensitivity of MIPES. Compared with sensors prepared by the traditional electro-polymerization CIP and Molecularly imprinted polymers (TiO2 NRs/NiOOH/eMIP), TiO2 NRs/NiOOH/rMIP as constructed in this work displays higher sensitivity, wider linear detection range, and lower limit of detection (LOD). Additionally, TiO2 NRs/NiOOH/rMIP shows good selectivity, stability, and recovery rate, and has a promising application prospect in the actual detection of antibiotics.

Talanta 2023; 265:124769. [PMID: 37329752 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) is a convenient and accurate biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD). An electrochemical sensor for the quantification of ACR was developed based on a dual screen-printed carbon electrode (SPdCE). The SPdCE was modified with carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) and redox probes of polymethylene blue (PMB) for creatinine and ferrocene (Fc) for albumin. The modified working electrodes were then molecularly imprinted with coated with polymerized poly-o-phenylenediamine (PoPD) to form surfaces that could be separately imprinted with creatinine and albumin template molecules. The seeded polymer layers were polymerized with a second coating of PoPD and the templates were removed to form two different molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layers. The dual sensor presented recognition sites for creatinine and albumin on different working electrodes, enabling the measurement of each analyte in one potential scan of square wave voltammetry (SWV). The proposed sensor produced linear ranges of 5.0-100 ng mL-1 and 100-2500 ng mL-1 for creatinine, and 5.0-100 ng mL-1 for albumin. LODs were 1.5 ± 0.2 ng mL-1 and 1.5 ± 0.3 ng mL-1, respectively. The dual MIP sensor was highly selective and stable for seven weeks at room temperature. The ACRs obtained using the proposed sensor compared well (P > 0.05) with the results from immunoturbidimetric and enzymatic methods.

Abstract
Investigation of the effect of the polymer synthesis method on physicochemical properties of sorbents is one of the topical problems in the chemistry of macromolecular compounds that has high scientific and practical interest. Determination of the optimal synthesis method will make it possible to create sorbents with physicochemical properties that led to the realization of effective sorption. In this work, we investigated the effect of synthesis methods (Pickering emulsion polymerization and precipitation polymerization in solution) of granular polymers based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate on physicochemical and sorption properties. The synthesis by Pickering emulsion polymerization led to improvement of the n-propyl alcohol diffusion into the polymer network and to the formation of more homogeneous and structurally stable polymer networks. Creating selective polymer networks by Pickering emulsion polymerization compared to precipitation polymerization in solution led to an increase in porosity, creation of more segregated surface of granules, improvement of binding sites availability at the temperature of 37 °C, and formation of the homogeneous sorption surface with high affinity to target molecules at 25 °C and 37 °C. Selective polymers synthesized by both polymerization methods had the largest values of available sorption surfaces areas for target molecules at 37 °C.

Abstract
Cancer is characterized by the accumulation of genetic mutations in cells by different types of mutagens such as physical, chemical, and biological. Consequently, normal cell cycles get interrupted. Conventional techniques used for diagnosis include. Various conventional techniques used for cancer diagnosis include immunological assays, histopathogical tests, polymerase chain reaction, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, radiation therapy, and many more. These techniques are expensive, time consuming, tedious, adverse effects to healthy cells and requirement of skilled personnel for their operation. Therefore nanomaterials based biosensors have been used for the sensitive, selective, economic and quick detection of cancer biomarkers. Electrochemical biosensors have shown profound impact in efficient diagnosis of cancers that facilitate the effective treatment of patient in acute stage. Nanomaterials including inorganic, organic and polymeric nanomaterials have been used in the treatment of different types of cancers. Nanoapproaches have offered several merits including site-specific, require traces amount of therapeutic molecules, limited toxicity, avoid drug resistance, more efficient, sensitive and reliable than conventional chemotherapeutics and radiation therapies. Therefore, future research should be focussed on development of highly inventive nanotools for the diagnosis and therapeutics of cancers.

Development of Gold Nanoparticles Decorated Molecularly Imprinted–Based Plasmonic Sensor for the Detection of Aflatoxin M1 in Milk Samples. CHEMOSENSORS 2021.

Abstract
Aflatoxins are a group of extremely toxic and carcinogenic substances generated by the mold of the genus Aspergillus that contaminate agricultural products. When dairy cows ingest aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)−contaminated feeds, it is metabolized and transformed in the liver into a carcinogenic major form of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), which is eliminated through the milk. The detection of AFM1 in milk is very important to be able to guarantee food safety and quality. In recent years, sensors have emerged as a quick, low–cost, and reliable platform for the detection of aflatoxins. Plasmonic sensors with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be interesting alternatives for the determination of AFM1. In this work, we designed a molecularly–imprinted–based plasmonic sensor to directly detect lower amounts of AFM1 in raw milk samples. For this purpose, we prepared gold–nanoparticle–(AuNP)−integrated polymer nanofilm on a gold plasmonic sensor chip coated with allyl mercaptan. N−methacryloyl−l−phenylalanine (MAPA) was chosen as a functional monomer. The MIP nanofilm was prepared using the light–initiated polymerization of MAPA and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the presence of AFM1 as a template molecule. The developed method enabled the detection of AFM1 with a detection limit of 0.4 pg/mL and demonstrated good linearity (0.0003 ng/mL–20.0 ng/mL) under optimized experimental conditions. The AFM1 determination was performed in random dairy farmer milk samples. Using the analogous mycotoxins, it was also demonstrated that the plasmonic sensor platforms were specific to the detection of AFM1.

Abstract
This review highlights the biological importance of mitochondrial energy metabolism and the applications of multiple optical/electrochemical approaches to determine energy metabolites. Mitochondria, the main sites of oxidative phosphorylation and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) biosynthesis, provide the majority of energy required by aerobic cells for maintaining their physiological activity. They also participate in cell growth, differentiation, information transmission, and apoptosis. Multiple mitochondrial diseases, caused by internal or external factors, including oxidative stress, intense fluctuations of the ionic concentration, abnormal oxidative phosphorylation, changes in electron transport chain complex enzymes and mutations in mitochondrial DNA, can occur during mitochondrial energy metabolism. Therefore, developing accurate, sensitive, and specific methods for the in vivo and in vitro detection of mitochondrial energy metabolites is of great importance. In this review, we summarise the mitochondrial structure, functions, and crucial energy metabolic signalling pathways. The mechanism and applications of different optical/electrochemical methods are thoroughly reviewed. Finally, future research directions and challenges are proposed.

Torrini F, Palladino P, Baldoneschi V, Scarano S, Minunni M. Sensitive 'two-steps' competitive assay for gonadotropin-releasing hormone detection via SPR biosensing and polynorepinephrine-based molecularly imprinted polymer. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1161:338481. [PMID: 33896555 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.338481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The work reports an innovative bioassay for the detection of gonadorelin in urine, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist widely used in fertility medicine and to treat hormonal dysfunctions. Gonadorelin is also a synthetic hormone listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and of interest in anti-doping controls. The main novelty relies on the development of a biocompatible, stable, and low-cost biomimetic receptor alternative to classic antibodies. Starting from norepinephrine monomer, a highly selective and sensitive molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was developed and optimized for optical real-time and label-free SPR biosensing. The selectivity has been addressed by testing a series of peptides, from high to low similarity, both in terms of molecular weight and primary sequence. Due to the very low molecular weight of gonadorelin (1182 Da), a 'two-steps' competitive assay was developed. Particular attention has been paid to the design of the competitor and its binding affinity constant towards the MIP, being a key step for the success of the competitive strategy. The SPR assay was first optimized in standard conditions and finally applied to untreated urine samples, achieving the sensitivity required by WADA guidelines. The MIP, tested in parallel with a monoclonal antibody, gave comparable results in terms of affinity constants and selectivity towards possible interfering analytes. However, the biomimetic receptor appears clearly superior in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility. This, together with its preparation simplicity, the extremely low-cost of the monomer and its reusability for hundreds of measurements, make polynorepinephrine-based MIPs powerful rivals to immune-based approaches in the near future for similar applications.

Abstract
In this study, a new molecularly imprinted material, MIP@UiO-66-NH2, was synthesized with glutathione (GSH) as template and mesoporous metal organic framework (UiO-66-NH2) as matrix. The molecularly imprinted polymer was modified on the surface and into the pores of the UiO-66-NH2 by surface molecular imprinting method with thin polymer layer. Based on high specific surface area (1091.93 m2 g-1) and appropriate pore size (35 nm) of the ordered mesoporous UiO-66-NH2, the adsorption capacity for GSH reached 94.43 mg g-1, and the adsorption equilibrium could be achieved within 30 min. The adsorption isotherm data of MIP@UiO-66-NH2 could be described well by Freundlich model and the kinetic data complied well with pseudo-second-order model. In addition, the MIP@UiO-66-NH2 showed low adsorption capacity to GSH structural analogs (QL-cys = 6.51 mg g-1), suggesting great selectivity for GSH recognition. Finally, the MIP@UiO-66-NH2 was successfully applied for selective separation of GSH from BSA, skim milk and egg white tryptic digest.

Abstract
Smoking is one of the most important factors associated with the development of lung cancer. However, the signaling pathways and driver genes in smoking-associated lung adenocarcinoma remain unknown. The present study analyzed 433 samples of smoking-associated lung adenocarcinoma and 75 samples of non-smoking lung adenocarcinoma from the Cancer Genome Atlas database. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery and the ggplot2 R/Bioconductor package. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis was performed using the R packages RSQLite and org.Hs.eg.db. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to screen factors associated with patient survival. Kaplan-Meier and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to analyze the potential clinical significance of the identified biomarkers as molecular prognostic markers for the five-year overall survival time. A total of 373 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; |log2-fold change|≥2.0 and P<0.01) were identified, of which 71 were downregulated and 302 were upregulated. These DEGs were associated with 28 significant GO functions and 11 significant KEGG pathways (false discovery rate <0.05). Two hundred thirty-eight proteins were associated with the 373 differentially expressed genes, and a protein-protein interaction network was constructed. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that 7 mRNAs, cytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1, PKHD1 like 1, retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65, neurotensin receptor 1, fetuin B, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 and glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit, significantly distinguished between non-smoking and smoking-associated adenocarcinomas. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients in the 7 mRNAs-high-risk group had a significantly worse prognosis than those of the low-risk group. The data obtained in the current study suggested that these genes may serve as potential novel prognostic biomarkers of smoking-associated lung adenocarcinoma.
