[PMID: 39486236 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.125347] [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: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 10/24/2024] [Indexed: 11/04/2024]
Abstract
Luminescence nanomaterials (LNMs) have recently received great attention in biological analysis and sensing owing to their key advances in easy design and functionalization with high photostability, luminescence stability, low autofluorescence, and multiphoton capacity. The number of publications surrounding LNMs for biological applications has grown rapidly. LNMs based on Stokes and anti-Stokes shifts are powerful tools for biological analysis. Especially, unique properties of anti-Stokes luminescence such as upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with an implementation strategy to use longer-wavelength excitation sources such as near-infrared (NIR) light can depth penetrate to biological tissue for bioanalysis and bioimaging. We observed that the LNMs-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed and paid attention to the field of bioimaging and luminescence-based sensors, because of their structural flexibility, and multifunctionality for the encapsulation of luminophores. This article provides an overview of innovative LNMs such as quantum dots (QDs), UCNPs, and LMOFs. A brief summary of recent progress in design strategies and applications of LNMs including pH and temperature sensing in biologically responsive platforms, pathogen detection, molecular diagnosis, bioimaging, photodynamic, and radiation therapy published within the past three years is highlighted. It was found that the integrated nanosystem of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) with nanomaterials was rapidly widespread and erupting in interest after the COVID-19 pandemic. The simple operation and close processes of the integration nanosystem together with the optimized size and low energy and materials consumption of biochips and devices allow their trend study and application to develop portable and intelligent diagnostics tools. The last part of this work is the introduction of the utilization use of LNMs in LOC applications in terms of microfluidics and biodevices.

LUMINESCENCE 2024; 39:e4900. [PMID: 39261303 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
Glucose level is an important indicator of diabetes, and maintaining an appropriate physiological concentration of glucose is important for human health. However, traditional optical sensors are interfered by the interference of strong background autofluorescence and natural responsive luminescence, which severely limits their application in complex biological samples. Herein, as a novel glucose biosensing probe, green-emitting Zn2GeO4:Mn2+, Eu3+ (ZGME) persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) with pH stimulus-responsive was prepared by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. We also investigated the pH stimulus-responsive luminescence behaviour of ZGME over a range of pH values from 2.8 to 8.0. Taking advantage of the interesting property that ZGME photoluminescence intensity has a pH response, within an extraordinarily narrow pH range of 5.0-6.5 for highly selectivity and sensitive determination of glucose level in human samples by acid-responsive quenching and persistent luminescent performance. The detection results show high accuracy of the measured values of glucose in serum with a wide detection range (2.5 μg L-1-10 mg L-1) and low detection limit (0.5 μg L-1). Finally, the pH-responsive persistent luminescence also makes ZGME promising for high-level fingerprint information encryption. Hence, the established pH stimulation-responsive PLNPs-based biosensing probe offers excellent performance with high selective, accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio for detection of glucose level in human samples.

Abstract
In light of deep tissue penetration and ultralow background, near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) bioprobes have become powerful tools for bioapplications. However, the inhomogeneous signal attenuation may significantly limit its application for precise biosensing owing to tissue absorption and scattering. In this work, a PersL lifetime-based nanoplatform via deep learning was proposed for high-fidelity bioimaging and biosensing in vivo. The persistent luminescence imaging network (PLI-Net), which consisted of a 3D-deep convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) and the PersL imaging system, was logically constructed to accurately extract the lifetime feature from the profile of PersL intensity-based decay images. Significantly, the NIR PersL nanomaterials represented by Zn1+xGa2-2xSnxO4: 0.4 % Cr (ZGSO) were precisely adjusted over their lifetime, enabling the PersL lifetime-based imaging with high-contrast signals. Inspired by the adjustable and reliable PersL lifetime imaging of ZGSO NPs, a proof-of-concept PersL nanoplatform was further developed and showed exceptional analytical performance for hypochlorite detection via a luminescence resonance energy transfer process. Remarkably, on the merits of the dependable and anti-interference PersL lifetimes, this PersL lifetime-based nanoprobe provided highly sensitive and accurate imaging of both endogenous and exogenous hypochlorite. This breakthrough opened up a new way for the development of high-fidelity biosensing in complex matrix systems.

Abstract
In optical biosensing, analyte-independent factors such as autofluorescence interference and excitation source fluctuation decrease the sensitivity and accuracy. Herein, we reported a bimodal persistent luminescence strategy to design dual-emissive persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) with built-in self-calibration to preclude interference from analyte-independent factors in biosensing. As a proof of concept, ZnGa2O4:Cr PLNPs with emissions at both 490 nm and 695 nm were designed. The I490/I695 ratio of ZnGa2O4:Cr was readily adjusted by simply changing the doping concentration of Cr3+. The ZnGa2O4:Cr PLNPs were employed for the ratiometric detection of urinary mesna. A good linear relationship between the I490/I695 ratio of ZnGa2O4:Cr-based nanoprobe and the concentration of mesna was obtained in the range of 0-40 μM. The limit of detection was about 0.40 μM. Results showed that autofluorescence interference from urine was totally eliminated by collecting the persistent luminescence signal of ZnGa2O4:Cr after excitation ceased. Moreover, the built-in self-calibration feature of the ratiometric ZnGa2O4:Cr PLNPs efficiently suppressed the interference from fluctuations in instrumental parameters during urinary mesna detection. The recovery rates of mesna in the spiked urine samples are in the range of 99.1~109.0%, showing the reliability of the ratiometric ZnGa2O4:Cr PLNPs in urinary mesna detection. ZnGa2O4:Cr can further be expanded to the detection of other analytes in complex matrices. This study may open new opportunities for the design of dual-emissive PLNPs with tunable ratios of emission intensity, and it can further promote the applications of optical biosensing in disease diagnosis, food safety, and environmental monitoring.

Competitive ELISA based on pH-responsive persistent luminescence nanoparticles for autofluorescence-free biosensor determination of ochratoxin A in cereals. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:1877-1887. [PMID: 36853411 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04591-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023]
Abstract
An accurate and sensitive competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on persistent luminescence nanoparticles Zn2GeO4:Mn2+, Eu3+ (ZGME) was developed for detecting ochratoxin A (OTA), a powerfully toxic mycotoxin usually found in grains. As a signal output element of autofluorescence-free biosensors, ZGME can be integrated into ELISA with glucose oxidase (GOx)-binding OTA molecules due to its excellent pH-responsive persistent luminescence. In the absence of OTA, the OTA-GOx conjugate was captured by the anti-OTA monoclonal antibody (anti-OTA mAb) pre-coated on the 96-well plate. The results indicate a decrease in the pH value of the solution, which triggered the quenching of ZGME luminescence due to GOx-dependent gluconic acid production. The presence of OTA inhibited the binding of OTA-GOx on the plate, thus decreasing the production of gluconic acid and increasing the persistent luminous intensity of ZGME. Under the optimized concentrations of anti-OTA mAb and OTA-GOx, quantitative determination of OTA was achieved by plotting the increase or decrease in persistent luminescence intensity of ZGME at 535 nm. In this study, the linear range was from 0.1 μg L-1 to 63 μg L-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 0.045 μg L-1. In five food samples (corn grit, brown rice, soybean, rice, and wheat), the results exhibited good stability and repeatability, with a recovery range from 81.3% to 94.4% and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 4.2%. Hence, the established method provides a sensitive, accurate, and autofluorescence-free approach for the determination of OTA in different grain samples.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have gained more attention from researchers due to their unique properties of photon conversion from an excitation/incident wavelength to a more suitable emission wavelength at a designated site, thus improving the scope in the life sciences field. Due to their fascinating and unique optical properties, UCNPs offer attractive opportunities in theranostics for early diagnostics and treatment of deadly diseases such as cancer. Also, several efforts have been made on emerging approaches for the fabrication and surface functionalization of luminescent UCNPs in optical biosensing applications using various infrared excitation wavelengths. In this review, we discussed the recent advancements of UCNP-based analytical chemistry approaches for sensing and theranostics using a 980 nm laser as the excitation source. The key analytical merits of UNCP-integrated fluorescence analytical approaches for assaying a wide variety of target analytes are discussed. We have described the mechanisms of the upconversion (UC) process, and the application of surface-modified UCNPs for in vitro/in vivo bioimaging, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT). Based on the latest scientific achievements, the advantages and disadvantages of UCNPs in biomedical and optical applications are also discussed to overcome the shortcomings and to improve the future study directions. This review delivers beneficial practical information of UCNPs in the past few years, and insights into their research in various fields are also discussed precisely.
