Platinum nanowires/MXene nanosheets/porous carbon ternary nanocomposites for in situ monitoring of dopamine released from neuronal cells. Talanta 2024; 278:126496. [PMID: 38996563 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126496] [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: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the body and closely related to many neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, the detection of dopamine is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, screening of drugs and unraveling of relevant pathogenic mechanisms. However, the low concentration of dopamine in the body and the complexity of the matrix make the accurate detection of dopamine challenging. Herein, an electrochemical sensor is constructed based on ternary nanocomposites consisting of one-dimensional Pt nanowires, two-dimensional MXene nanosheets, and three-dimensional porous carbon. The Pt nanowires exhibit excellent catalytic activity due to the abundant grain boundaries and highly undercoordinated atoms; MXene nanosheets not only facilitate the growth of Pt nanowires, but also enhance the electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity; and the porous carbon helps induce significant adsorption of dopamine on the electrode surface. In electrochemical tests, the ternary nanocomposite-based sensor achieves an ultra-sensitive detection of dopamine (S/N = 3) with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 28 nM, satisfactory selectivity and excellent stability. Furthermore, the sensor can be used for the detection of dopamine in serum and in situ monitoring of dopamine release from PC12 cells. Such a highly sensitive nanocomposite sensor can be exploited for in situ monitoring of important neurotransmitters at the cellular level, which is of great significance for related drug screening and mechanistic studies.

Effects of removal of the axial methionine heme ligand on the binding of S. cerevisiae iso-1 cytochrome c to cardiolipin. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 252:112455. [PMID: 38141433 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2023.112455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
The cleavage of the axial S(Met) - Fe bond in cytochrome c (cytc) upon binding to cardiolipin (CL), a glycerophospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, is one of the key molecular changes that impart cytc with (lipo)peroxidase activity essential to its pro-apoptotic function. In this work, UV - VIS, CD, MCD and fluorescence spectroscopies were used to address the role of the Fe - M80 bond in controlling the cytc-CL interaction, by studying the binding of the Met80Ala (M80A) variant of S. cerevisiae iso-1 cytc (ycc) to CL liposomes in comparison with the wt protein [Paradisi et al. J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. 25 (2020) 467-487]. The results show that the integrity of the six-coordinate heme center along with the distal heme site containing the Met80 ligand is a not requisite for cytc binding to CL. Indeed, deletion of the Fe - S(Met80) bond has a little impact on the mechanism of ycc-CL interaction, although it results in an increased heme accessibility to solvent and a reduced structural stability of the protein. In particular, M80A features a slightly tighter binding to CL at low CL/cytc ratios compared to wt ycc, possibly due to the lift of some constraints to the insertion of the CL acyl chains into the protein hydrophobic core. M80A binding to CL maintains the dependence on the CL-to-cytc mixing scheme displayed by the wt species.

Abstract
Acquirement of chemical expression in practical brain system is vital to understand the molecular mechanism involved in physiological and pathological processes in brain. Though nanochannels have been demonstrated to be promising platform for electrochemical sensor, it is a great challenge for nanochannels to be employed in practical brain biofluid. In this work, we rationally designed and created the biomimetic asymmetric nanochannels for sensing of K+ through integrating in situ modification of a two-component mesoporous carbon-silica (MCS) thin film with a pore size of ∼3.6 nm at anodic alumina nanochannel array (AAO) with the ∼40 nm pores (denoted as MCS/AAO). Apparent rectification phenomenon in such functionalized nanochannel array was achieved based on diode-like ion transport. Then, 4'-aminobenzeno-18-crown-6 (SP) was selected to be chemically decorated at MCS/AAO as the specific recognition for K+ (SP/MCS/AAO). The developed SP/MCS/AAO exhibited good selectivity towards K+ detection against the coexisting interferences in brain, and possessed a good linear response to K+ concentration in the range of 0.5-10 mM with a detection limit of 0.1 mM. Combined with microdialysis technique, the variation of K+ was successfully determined in rat brain microdialysates and serums. Compared with normal rats, the concentration of K+ was found to be greatly decreased in the cerebral microdialysates and serum of rats with hypertensive model (SHR). This work unveiled a powerful platform for K+, and promised to be extended to design new strategy for detecting other chemical species, in particular non-electroactive species in biofluid related to physiological and pathological events.

Abstract
It is of great importance to have sensitive and accurate detection of cis-diol-containing biologically related substances because of their important functions in the research fields of metabolomics, glycomics, and proteomics. Boronic acids can specifically and reversibly interact with 1,2- or 1,3-diols to form five or six cyclic esters. Based on this unique property, boronic acid-based materials have been used as synthetic receptors for the specific recognition and detection of cis-diol-containing species. This review critically summarizes the recent advances with boronic acid-based materials as recognition elements and signal labels for the detection of cis-diol-containing biological species, including ribonucleic acids, glycans, glycoproteins, bacteria, exosomes, and tumor cells. We also address the challenges and future perspectives for developing versatile boronic acid-based materials with various promising applications.

Abstract
In this work, we focus on understanding the morphology and photocatalytic properties of CeO2 nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized via a microwave-assisted solvothermal method using acetone and ethanol as solvents. Wulff constructions reveal a complete map of available morphologies and a theoretical-experimental match with octahedral nanoparticles obtained through synthesis using ethanol as solvent. NCs synthesized in acetone show a greater contribution of emission peaks in the blue region (∼450 nm), which may be associated with higher Ce3+ concentration, originating shallow-level defects within the CeO2 lattice while for the samples synthesized in ethanol a strong orange-red emission (∼595 nm) suggests that oxygen vacancies may originate from deep-level defects within the optical bandgap region. The superior photocatalytic response of CeO2 synthesized in acetone compared to that of CeO2 synthesized in ethanol may be associated with an increase in long-/short-range disorder within the CeO2 structure, causing the Egap value to decrease, facilitating light absorption. Furthermore, surface (100) stabilization in samples synthesized in ethanol may be related to low photocatalytic activity. Photocatalytic degradation was facilitated by the generation of ·OH and ·O2- radicals as corroborated by the trapping experiment. The mechanism of enhanced photocatalytic activity has been proposed suggesting that samples synthesized in acetone tend to have lower e'─h· pair recombination, which is reflected in their higher photocatalytic response.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective electrochemical dopamine (DA) sensor has been developed using gold nanoparticles decorated marimo-like graphene (Au NP/MG) as a modifier of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Marimo-like graphene (MG) was prepared by partial exfoliation on the mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) through molten KOH intercalation. Characterization via transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the surface of MG is composed of multi-layer graphene nanowalls. The graphene nanowalls structure of MG provided abundant surface area and electroactive sites. Electrochemical properties of Au NP/MG/GCE electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques. The electrode exhibited high electrochemical activity towards DA oxidation. The oxidation peak current increased linearly in proportion to the DA concentration in a range from 0.02 to 10 μM with a detection limit of 0.016 μM. The detection selectivity was carried out with the presence of 20 μM uric acid in goat serum real samples. This study demonstrated a promising method to fabricate DA sensor-based on MCMB derivatives as electrochemical modifiers.

Abstract
Biosensors are ubiquitous in a variety of disciplines, such as biochemical, electrochemical, agricultural, and biomedical areas. They can integrate various point-of-care applications, such as in the food, healthcare, environmental monitoring, water quality, forensics, drug development, and biological domains. Multiple strategies have been employed to develop and fabricate miniaturized biosensors, including design, optimization, characterization, and testing. In view of their interactions with high-affinity biomolecules, they find application in the sensitive detection of analytes, even in small sample volumes. Among the many developed techniques, microfluidics have been widely explored; these use fluid mechanics to operate miniaturized biosensors. The currently used commercial devices are bulky, slow in operation, expensive, and require human intervention; thus, it is difficult to automate, integrate, and miniaturize the existing conventional devices for multi-faceted applications. Microfluidic biosensors have the advantages of mobility, operational transparency, controllability, and stability with a small reaction volume for sensing. This review addresses biosensor technologies, including the design, classification, advances, and challenges in microfluidic-based biosensors. The value chain for developing miniaturized microfluidic-based biosensor devices is critically discussed, including fabrication and other associated protocols for application in various point-of-care testing applications.

Abstract
The rapid and accurate determination of the dopamine (neurotransmitter) and cholesterol level in bio-fluids is significant because they are crucial bioanalytes for several lethal diseases, which require early diagnosis. The level of DA in the brain is modulated by the dopamine active transporter (DAT), and is influenced by cholesterol levels in the lipid membrane environment. Accordingly, electrochemical biosensors offer rapid and accurate detection and exhibit unique features such as low detection limits even with reduced volumes of analyte, affordability, simple handling, portability and versatility, making them appropriate to deal with augmented challenges in current clinical and point-of-care diagnostics for the determination of dopamine (DA) and cholesterol. This feature article focuses on the development of ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensors for the detection of cholesterol and DA for real-time and onsite applications that can detect targeted analytes with reduced volumes and sub-picomolar concentrations with quick response times. Furthermore, the development of ultrasensitive biosensors via cost-effective, simple fabrication procedures, displaying high sensitivity, selectivity, reliability and good stability is significant in the impending era of electrochemical biosensing. Herein, we emphasize on recent advanced nanomaterials used for the ultrasensitive detection of DA and cholesterol and discuss in depth their electrochemical activities towards ultrasensitive responses. Key points describing future perspectives and the challenges during detection with their probable solutions are discussed, and the current market is also surveyed. Further, a comprehensive review of the literature indicates that there is room for improvement in the miniaturization of cholesterol and dopamine biosensors for lab-on-chip devices and overcoming the current technical limitations to facilitate full utilization by patients at home.

Reformative exploitation for metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been a topic subject in electrochemical sensing, in which the loading of electroactive species is always introduced to enable them to generate electrochemical signal. However, insulation shielding of MOFs and flimsy combination method interfere with the signal readout of electroactive dyes when they are co-immobilized on electrode surface, indicating that an amelioration is imperatively proposed to solve these issues. Herein, a proton-activated annunciator for responsive release of methylene blue (MB) based on i-motif DNA structure modified UIO-66-NH2 was presented to design electrochemical immunosensor (Squamous cell carcinoma antigen was used as the model analyte). With the catalysis of a ZIF-8 immunoprobe contained glucose oxidase (GOx) to glucose in test tube, protons are produced in ambient solution and then they can be used as the key to unlock the i-motif functionalized UIO-66-NH2, releasing the loaded MB molecules to be readout on an improved electrode. This stimuli-responsive mode not merely eliminates the insulation effect of MOFs but also provides a firm loading method for electroactive dyes. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed immunoassay for SCCA had displayed excellent performance with a wide linear range from 1 µg mL-1 to 1 pg mL-1 and an ultralow detection limit of 1.504 fg mL-1 (S/N = 3) under the optimal conditions.

Abstract
We developed an aptamer that was specific for beclomethasone (BEC) via systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Development was monitored by real-time quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) and the enriched library was sequenced by high-throughput sequencing. Forty-seven aptamer candidates were obtained; of these, BEC-6 showed the highest affinity (Kd = 0.15 ± 0.02 μM) and did not cross-react with other BEC analogs. We also developed a quantum dot-based assay (QDA) for the detection of BEC that was based upon a quantum dot (QD) composite probe. Under optimized reaction conditions, the linear range of this method for BEC was 0.1 to 10 μM with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.1 μM. Subsequently, the method was used to detect BEC in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a mean recovery of 81.72-91.84%. This is the first report to describe the development of an aptamer against BEC; BEC-6 can also be engineered into QDA for the detection of BEC.

Abstract
A biosensor is an integrated receptor-transducer device, which can convert a biological response into an electrical signal. The design and development of biosensors have taken a center stage for researchers or scientists in the recent decade owing to the wide range of biosensor applications, such as health care and disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, water and food quality monitoring, and drug delivery. The main challenges involved in the biosensor progress are (i) the efficient capturing of biorecognition signals and the transformation of these signals into electrochemical, electrical, optical, gravimetric, or acoustic signals (transduction process), (ii) enhancing transducer performance i.e., increasing sensitivity, shorter response time, reproducibility, and low detection limits even to detect individual molecules, and (iii) miniaturization of the biosensing devices using micro-and nano-fabrication technologies. Those challenges can be met through the integration of sensing technology with nanomaterials, which range from zero- to three-dimensional, possessing a high surface-to-volume ratio, good conductivities, shock-bearing abilities, and color tunability. Nanomaterials (NMs) employed in the fabrication and nanobiosensors include nanoparticles (NPs) (high stability and high carrier capacity), nanowires (NWs) and nanorods (NRs) (capable of high detection sensitivity), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (large surface area, high electrical and thermal conductivity), and quantum dots (QDs) (color tunability). Furthermore, these nanomaterials can themselves act as transduction elements. This review summarizes the evolution of biosensors, the types of biosensors based on their receptors, transducers, and modern approaches employed in biosensors using nanomaterials such as NPs (e.g., noble metal NPs and metal oxide NPs), NWs, NRs, CNTs, QDs, and dendrimers and their recent advancement in biosensing technology with the expansion of nanotechnology.
