Modeling approach for Ti 3C 2 MXene-based fluorescent aptasensor for amoxicillin biosensing in water matrices. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 360:121072. [PMID: 38733851 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Amoxicillin, a member of the penicillin family, is primarily utilized for the treatment of various bacterial infections affecting ears, nose, throat, urinary tract, and skin. Given its widespread application in medicine, agriculture, environment, and food industry, the precise and sensitive detection of amoxicillin is important. This study introduces a novel approach to developing a sensitive and selective fluorescent aptasensor relying on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for the specific detection of amoxicillin. The carboxyfluorescein-labeled aptamer serves as a energy donor, while MXene functions as an energy acceptor, and acting as a quencher. To achieve optimal detection efficiency, a dual optimization strategy utilizing RSM-CCD and ANN-GA was used to fine-tune experimental conditions. The fluorescence measurements revealed an expansive linear range extending from 100 to 2400 ng mL-1, accompanied by an exceptionally low detection limit of 1.53 ng mL-1. Additionally, it shows an excellent selectivity towards amoxicillin over other antibiotics commonly found in water matrices. The aptasensor demonstrates good stability and reproducibility; effectiveness of the aptasensor was validated by testing in real water samples. This remarkable sensitivity and broad dynamic range affirm the efficacy aptasensor in accurately detecting varying concentrations of amoxicillin in wastewater bodies.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising technique for sensitive detection. The design and optimization of plasma-enhanced structures for SERS applications is an interesting challenge. In this study, we found that the SERS activity of MXene (Ti3C2Tx) can be improved by adding Au nanoparticles (NPs) in a simple photoreduction process. Fluoride-salt-etched MXene was deposited by drop-casting on a glass slide, and Au NPs were formed by the photocatalytic growth of gold(III) chloride trihydrate solutions under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The Au-MXene substrate formed by Au NPs anchored on the Ti3C2Tx sheet produced significant SERS through the synergistic effect of chemical and electromagnetic mechanisms. The structure and size of the Au-decorated MXene depended on the reaction time. When the MXene films were irradiated with a large number of UV photons, the size of the Au NPs increased. Hot spots were formed in the nanoscale gaps between the Au NPs, and the abundant surface functional groups of the MXene effectively adsorbed and interacted with the probe molecules. Simultaneously, as a SERS substrate, the proposed Au-MXene composite exhibited a wider linear range of 10-4-10-9 mol/L for detecting carbendazim. In addition, the enhancement factor of the optimized SERS substrate Au-MXene was 1.39 × 106, and its relative standard deviation was less than 13%. This study provides a new concept for extending experimental strategies to further improve the performance of SERS.

Abstract
MXenes have attracted the attention of many researchers as one of the latest two-dimensional (2D) materials over the last decade. Their great potential for biosensing has also been fully exploited after the discovery of their unique properties such as superior optical properties, excellent hydrophilicity, good thermal stability, excellent mechanical property, high electrical conductivity, biocompatibility, large surface area, and ease of surface functionalization. In the MXene-based luminescence sensing strategy, MXenes typically appear in the form of nanosheets, quantum dots and modified MXene nanocomposites, and they are utilized as different sensing platforms or as a luminescence source. In this review, we focused on the MXene-based luminescence sensing strategies, including fluorescence, electrochemiluminescence and chemiluminescence sensors and the comparison of their performance. Finally, the perspectives of the MXene-based luminescence sensors are discussed.

Abstract
Due to the fact that the expression level of thrombin affects the coagulation function of the injured tissue after trauma, it is considered as a very promising biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of trauma. Nonetheless, sensitive, simple, and accurate thrombin detection continue to be extremely difficult. Here, using the two domains of thrombin as detection targets, we build a unique, accurate, isothermal thrombin analysis method. The method is constructed based on the integration of proximity ligation and rolling circle amplification (RCA). This approach specifically binds with the two functional domains of thrombin by using two intricately constructed probes. The technique has great accuracy thanks to proximity ligation, and the coupled RCA ensures acceptable sensitivity. With a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.23 pM, the method has demonstrated favorable detection persistence. Furthermore, the technique has a high selectivity for thrombin. Integrating merits including high sensitivity, low cost, and good portability, this method may enrich the arsenal for thrombin related applications.

Abstract
Dimethoate contaminants in food pose a threat to human health. Rapid and sensitive trace detection methods are required to keep food safe. In this study, a novel fluorescent aptasensor was developed for the sensitive detection of dimethoate based on carbon quantum dots labeled with double-stranded DNA (CQDs-apt-cDNA) and Ti3C2Tx flakes. Under optimal conditions, the aptasensor showed a good linear range of 1 × 10-9 to 5 × 10-5 M for dimethoate with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.996. Besides, a low detection limit of 2.18 × 10-10 M was obtained. The aptasensor showed high selectivity in interference samples and good reproducibility with an RSD of 3.06% (<5%) for dimethoate detection. Furthermore, the proposed aptasensor was applied to the detection of dimethoate in apple juice and tap water with satisfactory recoveries from 96.2 to 104.4%. Because of these benefits, this aptasensor has the potential and promise for detecting food contaminants in the food industry.

Abstract
A thrombin-activity-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was successfully constructed using tungsten oxide quantum dots (WO3-x QDS) as the co-reactant and thrombin-cleavable peptides as the recognizer. Specifically, Ru(bpy)32+ were doped on silica nanoparticles (Ru@SiO2), which greatly enhanced the ECL potential. AuNPs@WO3-x QDs composite was then prepared to accelerate electron transfer and improve the ECL signal by 219 times. Under ideal conditions, the limit of detection for thrombin in serum was determined to be 0.28 μU/mL with a linear range from 1 μU/mL to 1 U/mL. In addition, the developed ECL biosensor was used to screen for thrombin inhibitors from 12 compounds in Artemisiae Argyi Folium. Among the compounds tested, it was observed that 100 μmol/L luteolin exhibited a significantly higher inhibition rate (exceeding 80%) compared to apigenin, isorhamnetin, naringin, or eriodictyol. In an in-vitro anticoagulation experiment, luteolin (100 μmol/L) prolonged APTT by 49%, and the molecular docking assay indicated that luteolin had binding sites of Gly219 and Asp189 in the active pockets of thrombin. This may have been the main reason underpinning luteolin's anticoagulation effects. Overall, the Ru@WO3-x QDS ECL biosensor provided a reliable strategy for thrombin activity assay and screening of anticoagulant agents.

Abstract
A multi-signal aptasensor for thrombin determination is proposed based on catalytically active gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and fluorescent silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). Yellow 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) could be converted to colorless 4-Aminophenol (4-AP) by catalytically active aptamer-modified AuNPs (S1-AuNPs). The SiQDs emitted strong blue fluorescence at 455 nm at the excitation wavelength of 367 nm. When thrombin was absent, S1-AuNPs could catalytically reduce yellow 4-NP to colorless 4-AP. When thrombin was added, the aptamer could be transformed into a G-quadruplex structure, which masked the surface-active catalytic sites of AuNPs and restrained the reduction of 4-NP. Thus, the fluorescence of SiQDs was greatly quenched by 4-NP through the inner filter effect (IFE), and the solution color remained yellow. As the concentration of thrombin increased, the catalytic activity of S1-AuNPs decreased. The concentration of 4-NP that was converted to 4-AP declined and the unconverted 4-NP increased. In this process, the absorption peak of 4-NP at 400 nm increased while the fluorescence emission of SiQDs at 455 nm decreased. The linear ranges of the fluorometric and colorimetric aptasensor were 0.5-30 nM and 0.3-30 nM, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) for the two modes were 0.15 nM and 0.13 nM. Furthermore, a portable sensing platform was constructed by combining the smartphone-based device with the software ImageJ for the determination of thrombin. With the advantages of cost-effectiveness, simplicity of operation and broad applicability, this aptasensor provided a new perspective for on-site determination of thrombin in the clinical field.

Abstract
A novel fluorescence aptasensor of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was established using few-layer vanadium carbide (FL-V2CTx) nanosheet as a quencher. First, FL-V2CTx was prepared by the delamination of multi-layer V2CTx (ML-V2CTx) with tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The aptamer-carboxyl graphene quantum dots (CGQDs) probe was prepared by combining the aminated PSA aptamer and CGQDs. Then, the aptamer-CGQDs were absorbed onto the surface of FL-V2CTx by hydrogen bond interaction, which led to the decrease in fluorescence of aptamer-CGQDs due to photoinduced energy transfer. After addition of PSA, PSA-aptamer-CGQDs complex was released from FL-V2CTx. The fluorescence intensity of aptamer-CGQDs-FL-V2CTx with PSA was higher than that without PSA. The FL-V2CTx-based fluorescence aptasensor provided a PSA detection linear range from 0.1 to 20 ng mL-1 with detection limit of 0.03 ng mL-1. The ΔF value of fluorescence intensities for aptamer-CGQDs-FL-V2CTx with and without PSA was 5.6, 3.7, 7.7, and 5.4 times of ML-V2CTx, few-layer titanium carbide (FL-Ti3C2Tx), ML-Ti3C2Tx and graphene oxide aptasensors, respectively, indicating the advantage of FL-V2CTx. The aptasensor had high selectivity for PSA detection compared with some proteins and tumor markers. This proposed method had convenience and high sensitivity for PSA determination. The determination results of PSA in human serum samples using the aptasensor were consistent with those by chemiluminescent immunoanalysis. The fluorescence aptasensor can be successfully applied for PSA determination in serum samples of prostate cancer patients.

Abstract
Thrombin (TB) plays a key role in the pathological and physiological coagulation of diseases. In this work, a TB-activated fluorescence-surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) dual-mode optical nanoprobe (MRAu) was constructed by linking rhodamine B (RB)-modified magnetic fluorescent nanospheres with AuNPs through TB-specific recognition peptides. In the presence of TB, the polypeptide substrate could specifically be cleaved by TB, resulting in the weakening of SERS hotspot effect and the reduction of Raman signal. Meanwhile, the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system was destroyed, and the RB fluorescence signal originally quenched by AuNPs was recovered. Using MRAu, SERS and fluorescence methods were combined to extend the TB detection range to 1-150 pM, and the detection limit was as low as 0.35 pM. In addition, the ability to detect TB in human serum also verified the effectiveness and practicality of the nanoprobe. The probe was also successfully employed to evaluate the inhibitory effect against TB of active components in Panax notoginseng. This study provides a new technical means for the diagnosis and drug development of abnormal TB-related diseases.

Abstract
Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) is a typical nuclease that plays key roles in many physiological processes and the development of a novel biosensing strategy for DNase I detection is of fundamental significance. In this study, a fluorescence biosensing nanoplatform based on a two-dimensional (2D) titanium carbide (Ti3C2) nanosheet for sensitive and specific detection of DNase I was reported. Fluorophore-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) can be spontaneously and selectively adsorbed on Ti3C2 nanosheet through the hydrogen bond and metal chelate interaction between phosphate groups of ssDNA and titanium of Ti3C2 nanosheet, resulting in effective quenching of the fluorescence emitted by fluorophore. Notably, it was found the enzyme activity of DNase I will be terminated by the Ti3C2 nanosheet. Therefore, the fluorophore-labeled ssDNA was firstly digested by DNase I and the "post-mixing" strategy of Ti3C2 nanosheet was chosen to evaluate the enzyme activity of DNase I, which provided the possibility of improving the accuracy of the biosensing method. Experimental results demonstrated that this method can be utilized for quantitative analysis of DNase I activity and exhibited a low detection limit of 0.16 U/ml. Additionally, the evaluation of DNase I activity in human serum samples and the screening of inhibitors with this developed biosensing strategy were successfully realized, implying that it has high potential as a promising nanoplatform for nuclease analysis in bioanalytical and biomedical fields.

Abstract
AbstractSensitive and reliable determination of thrombin is relevant in the realms of medical and biological research as it serves as an essential biomarker of a number of blood-related illnesses. Herein, we integrate allosteric probe-based specific identification of thrombin and dual signal amplification to present an unique fluorescent technique for label-free and sensitive thrombin detection. Based on DNA polymerase and endonuclease-assisted signal amplification, the method exhibits a high sensitivity with a low limit of detection of 2.3 pM, while maintaining an excellent selectivity and stability. More importantly, the approach is successfully applied in analyzing the effect of nalbuphine on coagulation function of mice. Overall, this approach possesses the advantages of high specificity and sensitivity in label-free detection of thrombin, which is promising in the diagnosis of blood-related diseases.

Abstract
Lead ion (Pb2+) is a toxic heavy metal, which is very harmful to organisms. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid, simple, and sensitive method is of great significance to food safety and human health. It was found that MXeneTi3C2 nanosheet (NS) has a strong catalytic effect on the oxidation of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) via H2O2 to form the oxidized product (TMBOX); it has a strong fluorescence peak at 415 nm and an absorption (Abs) peak at 295 nm. The aptamer of Pb2+ (Aptpb) can be adsorbed on the surface of an NS to form MXene-Apt conjugates, which reduces its catalytic active sites and inhibits its catalytic activity. When the target Pb2+ is added, it specifically binds with Aptpb to release MXene NSs to enhance the dimode signals. Therefore, a new MXene catalytic fluorescence/absorption dimode aptamer biosenering platform was fabricated for the determination of trace Pb2+ in milk and water samples, with the fluorescence assay linear range (LR) of 5.0 × 10−2-2.0 nmol/L.

Abstract
Based on the high recognition ability and flexible programmability of GR5 DNAzyme, two fluorescent biosensors were engineered for amplified detection of Pb2+ via incorporating Ti3C2TX MXenes and embedding 2-aminopurine (2-AP), respectively. The quencher-required approach relied on the DNA affinity and fluorescence quenching ability of Ti3C2TX MXenes. Benefiting from the low background signal modulated by Ti3C2TX MXenes, the sensitive determination of Pb2+ was achieved in the linear range of 0.2-10 ng mL-1 with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 ng mL-1. The quencher-free approach combined the fluorescent trait of 2-AP embedded in DNA structure, and the RNA cleavage-propelled digestion process of Exonuclease I (Exo I) for signal amplification, indicating the sensitive detection of Pb2+ with the LOD as low as 0.02 ng mL-1 in the linear range of 0.1-10 ng mL-1. Both DNAzyme assays exhibited simple procedures, favorable specificity, rapid analysis, and satisfactory application in standard reference materials (lead in drinking water) and spiked water samples. The two fluorescent biosensors established in this work would not only provide theoretic fundament for DNA adsorption of Ti3C2TX MXenes and the design of 2-AP-embedded DNAzyme assays, but also hold a great potential for on-site monitoring of lead pollution in water samples.

Abstract
Thrombin is a serine protease with an essential role in homeostasis and blood coagulation. During vascular injuries, thrombin is generated from prothrombin, a plasma protein, to polymerize fibrinogen molecules into fibrin filaments. Moreover, thrombin is a potent stimulant for platelet activation, which causes blood clots to prevent bleeding. The rapid and sensitive detection of thrombin is important in biological analysis and clinical diagnosis. Hence, various biosensors for thrombin measurement have been developed. Biosensors are devices that produce a quantifiable signal from biological interactions in proportion to the concentration of a target analyte. An aptasensor is a biosensor in which a DNA or RNA aptamer has been used as a biological recognition element and can identify target molecules with a high degree of sensitivity and affinity. Designed biosensors could provide effective methods for the highly selective and specific detection of thrombin. This review has attempted to provide an update of the various biosensors proposed in the literature, which have been designed for thrombin detection. According to their various transducers, the constructions and compositions, the performance, benefits, and restrictions of each are summarized and compared.

Abstract
Duplex specific nuclease (DSN) that can precisely cleave DNA portion in double-stranded DNA or DNA-RNA hybrid has engrossed immense attention owing to its great potential in emerging bioanalytical applications. Here, we present a novel approach to extend DSN sensing application by coupling RNA aptamer. Specially designed RNA ligand sequences are used to capture the target and simultaneously provide complementary sequences of DNA for DSN aided fluorescent signal enhancement. A clotting enzyme, thrombin, has been used as a model analyte. One RNA aptamer combined with the target molecule can generate fluorescent signals through cleavage of hybridized TaqMan DNA probe (P2) by DSN. The proposed assay has achieved the lowest detection limit of 0.039 pM. The assay has been applied for real-time detection of thrombin release from live cells and other biotic media for early disease diagnosis. The developed method is versatile and can detect various other targets by choosing the relevant aptamer and probe sequences. This method is promising to be applied to medical diagnosis, biosensing, food safety, environmental monitoring, and other fields.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) as common late-life dementia is pathologically associated with the irreversible and progressive disorder, misfolding, deposition, and accumulation of the brain proteins. Especially, the formation of fibrous amyloid plaques by aggregation of amyloid-β peptides is the pathological cause of this neurologic disorder disease. Besides, tau protein isoforms destabilize the microtubule filaments through post-translational modifications and induce nerve cells' death. Amyloid-β peptides and tau proteins are considered as the critical symptom and reliable molecular biomarkers for the early diagnosis of AD. AD is characterized by impaired thinking proficiencies, cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral disability. Since there is no efficacious therapy for AD at present, the development of precise sensing tools for the early diagnosis of this disease is essential and crucial. Aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have acquired utmost importance in the field of AD healthcare, due to excellent sensitivity and specificity, ease-of-use, cost-effectiveness, portability, and rapid assay time. Here, we highlight the recent developments and novel perspectives in the field of aptasensor design to quantitatively monitor the AD biomarkers. Finally, some results are represented to achieve a promising viewpoint for introducing the novel aptasensor test kits in the future.

Aptamer functionalized and reduced graphene oxide hybridized porous polymers SPE coupled with LC-MS for adsorption and detection of human α-thrombin. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 414:1553-1561. [PMID: 34779902 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-021-03776-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybridized high internal phase emulsions were developed and polymerized as porous carriers for aptamer (5'/5AmMC6/-AGT CCG TGG TAG GGC AGG TTG GGG TGA CT-3') modification to enrich human α-thrombin from serum. The structure and properties of the materials were confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The adsorption ability and selectivity were studied and the thrombin was detected with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The adsorption of thrombin onto the sorbent was achieved within 30 min and the desorption was realized using 5.0 mL of acetonitrile/water (80/20, v/v). The thrombin was quantified by LC-MS according to its characteristic peptide sequence of ELLESYIDGR.
