Abstract
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. Aberrant DNA methylation is closely associated with the onset of diseases, and the specific localization of methylation sites in the genome offers further insight into the connection between methylation and diseases. Currently, there are numerous methods available for site-specific methylation detection. Electrochemical biosensors have garnered significant attention due to their distinct advantages, such as rapidity, simplicity, high sensitivity, low cost, and the potential for miniaturization. In this paper, we present a systematic review of the primary sensing strategies utilized in the past decade for analyzing site-specific methylation and their applications in electrochemical sensors, from a novel perspective focusing on the localization analysis of site-specific methylation. These strategies include bisulfite treatment, restriction endonuclease treatment, other sensing strategies, and deamination without direct bisulfite treatment. We hope that this paper can offer ideas and references for establishing site-specific methylation electrochemical analysis in clinical practice.

Abstract
The ultrasensitive DNA methyltransferase (Dam MTase) assay is of high significance for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis because of its profound effect on gene regulation. However, detection sensitivity is still limited by shortcomings, including photobleaching and weak signal intensities of conventional fluorophores at low concentrations. Plasmonic nanostructures with ultrastrong electromagnetic fields and fluorescence enhancement capability that can overcome these intrinsic defects hold great potential for ultrasensitive bioanalysis. Herein, a silica-coated gold nanostars (Au NSTs@SiO2)-based plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) probe with 20 "hot spots" was developed for ultrasensitive detection of Dam MTase. Here, the Dam Mtase assay was achieved by detecting the byproduct PPi of the rolling circle amplification reaction. It is worth noting that, benefiting from the excellent fluorescence enhancement capability of Au NSTs originating from their 20 "hot spots", the detection limit of Dam Mtase was reduced by nearly 105 times. Moreover, the proposed Au NST-based PEF probe enabled versatile evaluation of Dam MTase inhibitors as well as endogenous Dam MTase detection in GW5100 and JM110 Escherichia coli cell lysates, demonstrating its potential in biomedical analysis.

Ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical biosensor for DNA 5-methylcytosine analysis based on co-sensitization strategy combined with bridged DNA nanoprobe. Talanta 2023; 254:124140.

Abstract
Altered DNA methylation in the form of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) patterns is correlated with disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response. Therefore, accurate analysis of 5-mC is of great significance for the diagnosis of diseases. Here, an efficient enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was designed for the quantitative analysis of DNA 5-mC based on a cascaded energy level aligned co-sensitization strategy coupling with the bridged DNA nanoprobe (BDN). Firstly, Au nanoparticle/graphite phase carbon nitride/titanium dioxide (AuNPs/g-C3N4@TiO2) nanocomposite was synthesized through in situ growth of AuNPs on g-C3N4@TiO2 surface as a matrix to provide a stable background signal. Next, BDN with a high mass transfer rate synthesized from a pair of DNA tetrahedral as nanomechanical handles was used as a capture probe to bind to the target sequence. The polydopamine nanosphere was applied to load with CdTe QDs (PDANS-CdTe QDs) as a photocurrent label of 5-mC antibodies. When the 5-mC existed, a large number of PDANS-Ab-CdTe QDs were introduced to the electrode surface, the formed CdTe QDs/AuNPs/g-C3N4@TiO2 co-sensitive structure could effectively enhance the electron transfer capability and photocurrent response rate due to the effective cascade energy level arrangement, leading to a significantly enhanced photocurrent signal. The proposed PEC biosensor manifested a wide range from 10-17 M to 10-7 M and a detection limit of 2.2 aM. Meanwhile, the excellent performance indicated the practicability of the designed strategy, thus being capable of the clinical diagnosis of 5-mC.

Abstract
In this work, a novel ratiometric electrochemical readout platform was proposed and developed for the fast and flexible analysis of M.SssI methyltransferase (MTase) activity. In this platform, two hairpin DNAs (H1 and H2) were designed. H1 contains the palindromic sequence of 5′-CCGG-3′ in its stem which could be methylated and hybridize with H2 labeled by methylene blue (MB) as one of the signal reporters on a gold electrode (GE) in the presence of M.SssI MTase. Additionally, a specific immunoreaction was introduced by conjugating an anti-5-methylcytosine antibody, a DNA CpG methylation recognition unit, with 1,3-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid (Fc) as the second signal reporter. The results showed that when the Fc tag approaches, the MB tag was far from the gold electrode surface, resulting in a decrease in the oxidation peak current of MB (IMB) and an increase in the oxidation peak current of Fc (IFc). The ratiometric electrochemical method above shows the linear range of detection was 0 U/mL 40 U/mL with a detection limit of 0.083 U/mL (the mean signal of blank measures þ3s).

Abstract
Visual one-step simultaneous detection of low-abundance methylation is a crucial challenge in early cancer diagnosis in a simple manner. Through the design of a closed split bipolar electrochemistry system (BE), detection of promoter methylation of tumor suppressor genes in papillary thyroid cancer, RASSF1A and SLC5A8, was achieved using electrochemiluminescence. For this purpose, electrochemiluminescence of luminol loaded into the Fe3O4@UiO-66 and gold nanorod-functionalized graphite-like carbon nitride nanosheet (AuNRs@C3N4 NS), separately, on the anodic and cathodic pole bipolar electrodes (BPEs) in two different chambers of a bipolar cell were recorded on a smartphone camera. To provide the same electric potential (ΔEelec) through the BPEs to conduct simultaneous light emission, as well as to achieve higher sensitivity, anodic and cathodic poles BPEs were separately connected to ruthenium nanoparticles electrodeposited on nitrogen-doped graphene-coated Cu foam (fCu/N-GN/RuNPs) to provide a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and polycatechol-modified reduced graphene oxide/pencil graphite electrode (PC-rGO/PGE) to provide electrooxidation of hydrazine. Moreover, taking advantages of the strong cathodic ECL activity due to the roles of AuNRs, as well as the high density of capture probes on the UiO-66 and Fe3O4 roles in improving the signal-to-background ratio (S/B) in complicated plasma media, a sensitive visual ECL immunosensor was developed to detect two different genes as model target analytes in patient plasma samples. The ability of discrimination of methylation levels as low as 0.01% and above 90% clinical sensitivity in thyroid cancer patient plasma implies that the present strategy is able to diagnose cancer early, as well as monitor responses of patients to therapeutic agents.

Abstract
DNA methylation is an essential genomic epigenetic behavior in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Deregulation of DNA methyltransferase (Dam MTase) can change the DNA methylation level and cause various diseases. Herein, we develop an apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1)-mediated cascade signal amplification platform for homogeneously sensitive and rapid measurement of Dam MTase in Escherichia coli cells. This assay involves a partial double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) substrate and two hairpin signal probes (HP1 and HP2) that are modified with Cy5 and BHQ2 at two ends, respectively. When Dam MTase is present, it methylates the dsDNA substrate, and subsequently, endonuclease DpnI cleaves the methylated substrate, yielding trigger probe 1. Hybridization of trigger probe 1 with HP1 forms a partial dsDNA containing an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site, which is cleaved by APE1 to induce the cyclic cleavage of HP1 and the production of abundant trigger probe 2. Subsequent hybridization of trigger probe 2 with HP2 forms a partial dsDNA with an AP site, inducing the cyclic cleavage of HP2 by APE1. Consequently, cyclic cleavage of HP1 and HP2 induces the generation of abundant Cy5 molecules, which are easily measured by single-molecule imaging. This assay can be performed homogeneously and rapidly within 2 h, which is the shortest among the reported amplification-based assays. Moreover, it exhibits good selectivity and high sensitivity, and it can discriminate Dam MTase from other enzymes and screen inhibitors. Importantly, it can accurately measure the Dam MTase activity in serum and E. coli cells, with promising applications in clinical diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
The identification of formylpyrimidines in DNA is crucial for a better understanding of epigenetics. Although many techniques have been explored to detect their content, more accurate methods of formylpyrimidine determination are still required due to the relatively lower sensitivity or lack of selectivity in current methods. Herein, an electrochemical method based on the covalent bonding of the azido derivative of (2-benzimidazolyl) acetonitrile (azi-BIAN) and the aldehyde group of 5-formyluracil (5fU) was proposed for the selective detection of 5fU in the presence of 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and apyrimidinic (AP) sites. Target DNA containing 5fU was first treated with azi-BIAN and then incubated with DBCO-PEG4-Biotin to introduce a biotin group by copper-free click chemistry. Next, the sulfhydryl group was attached to the 5' end of above DNA through T4 polynucleotide kinase-catalyzed reaction. Subsequently, the labeled DNA was assembled onto the AuNPs-modified glassy carbon electrode (AuNPs/GCE) through Au-S bonds, and the streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (SA-HRP) was further immobilized onto the surface of the above electrode by specific recognition between biotin and streptavidin. Finally, HRP catalyzed hydroquinone oxidation to benzoquinone to enhance the current signal, which was related to the amount of 5fU in nucleic acids. This method demonstrated a good linear relationship with 5fU concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 nM. Moreover, the level of 5fU in γ-irradiated nucleic acids was also successfully detected, indicating that the combination of molecule-depended chemical recognition and electrochemical sensing is a promising method for the selective and sensitive detection of 5fU.

Abstract
Methylcytosines in mammalian genomes are the main epigenetic molecular codes that switch off the repertoire of genes in cell-type and cell-stage dependent manners. DNA methyltransferases (DMT) are dedicated to managing the status of cytosine methylation. DNA methylation is not only critical in normal development, but it is also implicated in cancers, degeneration, and senescence. Thus, the chemicals to control DMT have been suggested as anticancer drugs by reprogramming the gene expression profile in malignant cells. Here, we report a new optical technique to characterize the activity of DMT and the effect of inhibitors, utilizing the methylation-sensitive B-Z transition of DNA without bisulfite conversion, methylation-sensing proteins, and polymerase chain reaction amplification. With the high sensitivity of single-molecule FRET, this method detects the event of DNA methylation in a single DNA molecule and circumvents the need for amplification steps, permitting direct interpretation. This method also responds to hemi-methylated DNA. Dispensing with methylation-sensitive nucleases, this method preserves the molecular integrity and methylation state of target molecules. Sparing methylation-sensing nucleases and antibodies helps to avoid errors introduced by the antibody’s incomplete specificity or variable activity of nucleases. With this new method, we demonstrated the inhibitory effect of several natural bio-active compounds on DMT. All taken together, our method offers quantitative assays for DMT and DMT-related anticancer drugs.

Abstract
This work reports the use of modified reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a platform for a label-free DNA-based electrochemical biosensor as a possible diagnostic tool for a DNA methylation assay. The biosensor sensitivity was enhanced by variously modified rGO. The rGO decorated with three nanoparticles (NPs)—gold (AuNPs), silver (AgNPs), and copper (CuNPs)—was implemented to increase the electrode surface area. Subsequently, the thiolated DNA probe (single-stranded DNA, ssDNA−1) was hybridized with the target DNA sequence (ssDNA-2). After the hybridization, the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was methylated by M.SssI methyltransferase (MTase) and then digested via a HpaII endonuclease specific site sequence of CpG (5′-CCGG-3′) islands. For monitoring the MTase activity, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used, whereas the best results were obtained by rGO-AuNPs. This assay is rapid, cost-effective, sensitive, selective, highly specific, and displays a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 U·mL−1. Lastly, this study was enriched with the real serum sample, where a 0.19 U·mL−1 LOD was achieved. Moreover, the developed biosensor offers excellent potential in future applications in clinical diagnostics, as this approach can be used in the design of other biosensors.

Abstract
The relationship between endocrine system disorders and health risks due to chemical environmental compounds has become a growing concern in recent years. Involuntary exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDCs) is associated with the worldwide increase of diseases such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, and neurocortical disorders. EDCs are compounds that target the nuclear hormonereceptors (NHR) leading to epigenetic changes. Consequently, the use of biosensing strategies based on epigenetic events have a great potential to provide outstanding information about the exposition of EDCs and their evaluation in human health. This review addresses the novel trends in biosensing EDCs evaluation based on DNA methylation assays associated with different human diseases.

Abstract
DNA methylation at cytosine/guanine dinucleotide islands (CpGIs) is the most prominent epigenetic modification in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. DNA methyltransferases (MTases) are responsible for genomic methylation, and their aberrant activities are closely associated with various diseases including cancers. However, the specific and sensitive detection of multiple DNA MTases has remained a great challenge due to the specificity of the methylase substrate and the rareness of methylation-sensitive restriction endonuclease species. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the cytosine-5 methylation-directed construction of a Au nanoparticle (AuNP)-based nanosensor for simultaneous detection of multiple DNA MTases at the single-molecule level. We used the methyl-directed endonuclease GlaI to cleave the site-specific 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). In the presence of CpG and GpC MTases (i.e., M.SssI and M.CviPI), their hairpin substrates are methylated at cytosine-5 to form the catalytic substrates for GlaI, respectively, followed by simultaneous cleavage by GlaI to yield two capture probes. These two capture probes can hybridize with the Cy5/Cy3-signal probes which are assembled on the AuNPs, respectively, to form the double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs). Each dsDNA with a guanine ribonucleotide can act as the catalytic substrate for ribonuclease (RNase HII), inducing recycling cleavage of signal probes to liberate large numbers of Cy5 and Cy3 molecules from the AuNPs. The released Cy5 and Cy3 molecules can be simply quantified by total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF)-based single-molecule imaging for simultaneous measurement of M.SssI and M.CviPI MTase activities. This method exhibits good specificity and high sensitivity with a detection limit of 2.01 × 10-3 U mL-1 for M.SssI MTase and 3.39 × 10-3 U mL-1 for M.CviPI MTase, and it can be further applied for discriminating different kinds of DNA MTases, screening potential inhibitors, and measuring DNA MTase activities in human serum and cell lysate samples, holding great potential in biomedical research, clinical diagnosis, drug discovery and cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
CpG island methylation plays an important role in diverse biological processes including the regulation of imprinted genes, X chromosome inactivation, and tumor suppressor gene silencing in human cancer. Due to the dependence of DNA methylation on DNA methyltransferase (MTase) activity, DNA MTases have become the potential targets in anticancer therapy. Herein we demonstrate for the first time the construction of a single quantum dot (QD) nanosensor with the capability of sensing methylcytosine sites for sensitive quantification of M.SssI CpG methyltransferase (M.SssI MTase). We design a biotin-/phosphate-modified double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) substrate with a 5'-G-C-G-mC-3'/3'-mC-G-mC-G-5' site for sensing M.SssI MTase. In the presence of M.SssI MTase, the methylation-responsive sequence of the dsDNA substrate is methylated and cleaved by GlaI endonuclease, producing two dsDNA fragments with a free 3'-OH terminus. In the presence of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), multiple Cy5-dATPs can be sequentially added to the free 3'-OH terminus of dsDNA fragments to obtain biotin-/multiple Cy5-labeled dsDNAs. The resultant biotin-/multiple Cy5-labeled dsDNAs can assemble on the surface of the streptavidin-coated QD to obtain a QD-dsDNA-Cy5 nanostructure in which the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the QD to Cy5 can occur. The emission of Cy5 can be simply quantified by single-molecule detection. By the integration of sensing methylcytosine sites and enzymatic polymerization, the sensitivity of this nanosensor has been significantly enhanced. This nanosensor can detect as low as 2.1 × 10-7 U μL-1 M.SssI MTase with good selectivity against other cytosine MTases, and it can be further applied for the screening of MTase inhibitors and complex biological sample analysis, holding great potential in clinical diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective biosensing system was designed to analyze DNA methylation using a dual-signal readout technique in combination with the signal amplification of supersandwich DNA structure. Through the ingenious design of target-triggered cascade of hybridization chain reaction, one target DNA could initiate the formation of supersandwich structure with multiple signal probes. As a result, one-to-multiple amplification effect was achieved, which conferred high sensitivity to target molecular recognition. Based on probe 1 labeled with ferrocene and probe 2 modified with methylene blue, the target DNA was clearly recognized by two electrochemical signals at independent potentials, which was helpful for the acquisition of more accurate detection results. Taking advantage of bisulfite conversion, the methylation status of cytosine (C) was changed to nucleic acid sequence status, which facilitated the hybridization-based detection without enzymatic reaction. Consequently, the methylated DNA was detected at the femtomolar level with satisfactory analytical parameters. The proposed system was effectively used to assess methylated DNA in human blood serum samples, illuminating the possibility of the sensing platform for applications in disease diagnosis and biochemistry research.

Abstract
We report here a highly sensitive sandwich type electrochemical aptasensor for lysozyme (lys) detection by the integration of an antifouling interface with HRP-based signal amplification. The biosensing interface with antifouling ability is designed, consisting of a lys-binding aptamer (LBA), dithiothreitol (DTT) and mercaptohexanol (MCH). When lys is captured by the immobilized LBA due to the specific recognition of the aptamer, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with HRP and LBA (HRP-AuNP-LBA) are further conjugated to the surface-bound lys, forming a sandwich assay format. HRP catalyzes the chemical oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce benzoquinone (BQ) which results in a large electrochemical reduction signal of BQ. Therefore, this reduction signal measured by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) is used to detect lys. The catalytic behavior of HRP toward the reaction between HQ and H2O2, together with the high loading of HRP on AuNPs, remarkably amplifies the signal. A linear relationship between the DPV response and the logarithm of lys concentration from 0.01 pg mL-1 to 105 pg mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.003 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3) is obtained. The proposed biosensing platform combines antifouling ability and signal amplification, resulting in high sensitivity, providing an effective way for ultrasensitive assay of protein biomarkers in complex media.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, various DNA modification detection methods have been developed; many of the high-resolution methods are based on bisulfite treatment, which leads to DNA degradation, to a degree. Thus, novel bisulfite-free approaches have been developed in recent years and shown to be useful for epigenome analysis in otherwise difficult-to-handle, but important, DNA samples, such as hmC-seal and hmC-CATCH. Herein, an overview of advances in the development of epigenome sequencing methods for these important DNA modifications is provided.

Abstract
DNA methylation is a key factor in the pathogenesis of gene expression diseases or malignancies. Thus, it has become a significant biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of these diseases. In this paper, we designed an ultrasensitive and specific electrochemical biosensor for DNA methylation detection. The platform consisted of stem-loop-tetrahedron composite DNA probes anchoring at a Au nanoparticle-coated gold electrode, a restriction enzyme digestion of HpaII, and signal amplification procedures including electrodeposition of Au nanoparticles, hybridization chain reaction, and horseradish peroxidase enzymatic catalysis. Under optimal conditions, the design showed a broad dynamic range from 1 aM to 1 pM and a detection limit of about 0.93 aM. The approach also showed ideal specificity, repeatability, and stability. The recovery test demonstrated that the design is a promising platform for DNA methylation detection under clinical circumstances and could meet the need for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
We herein developed a novel electrochemical biosensor to detect DNA methylation level, and to quantitatively analyze multiple methylated sites. Graphene oxide was modified with anti-5-methylcytosine antibody to specifically bind CpG methylation sites, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled IgG secondary antibody was bound to the former antibody. In buffer containing H2O2 and hydroquinone, HRP-IgG catalyzed the oxidation of hydroquinone into benzoquinone over H2O2, thereby generating electrochemical reduction signals. The number of 5-methylcytosine was directly proportional to current signal, thereby allowing accurate quantification of methylation level. We also analyzed monomethylated target sequences with different sites. After different methylated sites were captured by the probe, the steric hindrance differences between -CH3 hydrophobic sphere and the electrode surface were induced. The peak current decreased with reducing distance from the electrode surface, so DNA methylation sites were identified by measuring corresponding peak current responses. With a low detection limit (1 fM), this DNA biosensor was suitable for ultrasensitive DNA methylation detection. The linear detection range was 10-15 M to 10-8 M. Meanwhile, this method had high specificity, stability and repeatability, thus being widely applicable to the clinical detection of DNA methylation.

Abstract
DNA methylation is one of the significant epigenetic modifications involved in mammalian development as well as in the initiation and progression of various diseases like cancer. Over the past few decades, an enormous amount of research has been carried out for the quantification of DNA methylation in the mammalian genome. Earlier, most of these methodologies used bisulfite treatment. However, the low conversion, false reading, longer assay time and complex chemical reaction are the common limitations of this method that hinder their application in routine clinical screening. Thus, as an alternative to bisulfite conversion-based DNA methylation detection, numerous bisulfite-free methods have been proposed. In this regard, electrochemical biosensors have gained much attention in recent years for being highly sensitive yet cost-effective, portable, and simple to operate. On the other hand, biosensors with optical readouts enable direct real time detection of biological molecules and are easily adaptable to multiplexing. Incorporation of electrochemical and optical readouts into bisulfite free DNA methylation analysis is paving the way for the translation of this important biomarker into standard patient care. In this review, we provide a critical overview of recent advances in the development of electrochemical and optical readout based bisulfite free DNA methylation assays.

Abstract
DNA methyltransferase (MTase) aberrant expression has a close relationship to tumorigenesis. DNA MTase activity detection is of great importance to its biomedical research and theranostics study. Here, multiple sealed primers-mediated rolling circle amplification (RCA) strategy is developed for sensitively and specifically detecting DNA MTase activity. The DNA probe has a folded, double-loop structure that seals multiple primers. First, in the presence of DNA MTase, the DNA probe is methylated, which then gets cleaved by the restriction endonuclease and breaks into multiple DNA oligonucleotide fragments. Second, each DNA oligonucleotide fragment acts as an independent primer for triggering RCA reaction respectively, producing long DNA strands that contain several interval G-quadruplexes. Finally, copious of G-quadruplexes are obtained, which bind N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM) to generate significantly enhanced fluorescence. When DNA MTase is absent or inactive, the DNA probe is stable and cannot release the primers for RCA reaction. In the proposed strategy, the action of DNA MTase on one DNA probe is converted to the multiple amplifications triggered by multiple released primers. The detection limit for Dam MTase is down to 0.0085 U/mL, and the target MTase can be well discriminated from its MTases analogues. The method is utilized in screening of Dam MTase inhibitors and analyzing of spiked Dam MTase in biological samples. The results suggest that the strategy may provide a promising tool for DNA MTase activity detection in biomedical research and cancer theranostics.

Oligonucleotide-modulated photocurrent enhancement of a tetracationic porphyrin for label-free homogeneous photoelectrochemical biosensing. Biosens Bioelectron 2018; 121:90-95.

Abstract
This work reports the first demonstration of an oligonucleotide-modulated label-free homogeneous photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform based on the adsorption of tetracationic porphyrin (denoted as TMPyP here) onto 1-naphthalenesulfonate anion (NS-)-grafted indium tin oxide electrode (denoted as TMPyP-NS--ITO), which generates a stable and rapid photocurrent response. We found that when NS--ITO electrode was subjected to single-stranded oligonucleotide (ssON) before TMPyP adsorption, a remarkable enhancement of photocurrent intensity was observed from the resulted TMPyP-ssON-NS--ITO electrode with high specificity towards oligonucleotide. A series of investigations were carried out to understand the mechanism of this oligonucleotide-modulated photocurrent enhancement phenomenon. Moreover, the studies of this robust photocurrent enhancement mechanism was successfully extended to develop a signal-on homogeneous PEC biosensing platform for, as a proof-of-concept, label-free M.SssI methyltransferase activity analysis through a judiciously and compatibly engineered signal transduction strategy consisted of hairpin-shaped oligonucleotide probe, restriction endonuclease HpaII, and Exonuclease I. The rationally designed homogeneous PEC biosensor exhibit sensitive PEC response toward M.SssI methyltransferase with a low detection limit of 3.5 mU/mL and a wide linear range from 0.01 to 120 U/mL. Additionally, we show that our homogeneous PEC biosensing platform can be also utilized to screen methyltransferase inhibitors. Therefore, this work will provide a distinctive paradigm for versatile homogeneous PEC biosensing platform that can be used as potential powerful tool toward innovative label-free bioanalytical purposes.

Abstract
DNA methyltransferases (MTases) may specifically recognize the short palindromic sequences and transfer a methyl group from S-adenosyl-l-methionine to target cytosine/adenine. The aberrant DNA methylation is linked to the abnormal DNA MTase activity, and some DNA MTases have become promising targets of anticancer/antimicrobial drugs. However, the reported DNA MTase assays often involve laborious operation, expensive instruments, and radio-labeled substrates. Here, we develop a simple and label-free fluorescent method to sensitively detect DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) on the basis of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-activated Endonuclease IV (Endo IV)-assisted hyperbranched amplification. We design a hairpin probe with a palindromic sequence in the stem as the substrate and a NH2-modified 3' end for the prevention of nonspecific amplification. The substrate may be methylated by Dam and subsequently cleaved by DpnI, producing three single-stranded DNAs, two of which with 3'-OH termini may be amplified by hyperbranched amplification to generate a distinct fluorescence signal. Because high exactitude of TdT enables the amplification only in the presence of free 3'-OH termini and Endo IV only hydrolyzes the intact apurinic/apyrimidinic sites in double-stranded DNAs, zero background signal can be achieved. This method exhibits excellent selectivity and high sensitivity with a limit of detection of 0.003 U/mL for pure Dam and 9.61 × 10-6 mg/mL for Dam in E. coli cells. Moreover, it can be used to screen the Dam inhibitors, holding great potentials in disease diagnosis and drug development.

Abstract
In this paper, we reported a sensitive and selective electrochemical method for quantify DNA methylation, analyzing DNA MTase activity and screening of MTase inhibitor based on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) decorated carbon nanocubes (CNCs) as signal tag. The Ag NPs/CNCs was prepared by in situ growth of nanosilver on carboxylated CNCs and used as a tracing tag to label antibody. The sensor was prepared by immobilizing the double DNA helix structure on the surface of gold electrode. When DNA MTase was introduced, the probe was methylated. Successively, anti-5-methylcytosine antibody labeled Ag NPs/CNCs was specifically conjugated on the CpG methylation site. The electrochemical stripping signal of the Ag NPs was used to monitor the activity of MTase. The electrochemical signal has a linear relationship with M.SssI activities ranging from 0.05 to 120U/mL with a detection limit of 0.03U/mL. In addition, we also demonstrated the method could be used for rapid evaluation and screening of the inhibitors of MTase. The newly designed strategy avoid the requirement of deoxygenation for electrochemical assay, and thus provide a promising potential in clinical application.

Abstract
DNA methylation plays an important role in physiological and pathological processes. Several genetic diseases and most malignancies tend to be associated with aberrant DNA methylation. Among other analytical methods, electrochemical approaches have been successfully employed for characterisation of DNA methylation patterns that are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of particular diseases. This article discusses current trends in the electrochemical sensing and biosensing of DNA methylation. Particularly, it provides an overview of applied electrode materials, electrode modifications and biorecognition elements applications with an emphasis on strategies that form the core DNA methylation detection approaches. The three main strategies as (i) bisulfite treatment, (ii) cleavage by restriction endonucleases, and (iii) immuno/affinity reaction were described in greater detail. Additionally, the availability of the reviewed platforms for early cancer diagnosis and the approval of methylation inhibitors for anticancer therapy were discussed.

Abstract
DNA methylation is one of the key epigenetic modifications of DNA that results from the enzymatic addition of a methyl group at the fifth carbon of the cytosine base. It plays a crucial role in cellular development, genomic stability and gene expression. Aberrant DNA methylation is responsible for the pathogenesis of many diseases including cancers. Over the past several decades, many methodologies have been developed to detect DNA methylation. These methodologies range from classical molecular biology and optical approaches, such as bisulfite sequencing, microarrays, quantitative real-time PCR, colorimetry, Raman spectroscopy to the more recent electrochemical approaches. Among these, electrochemical approaches offer sensitive, simple, specific, rapid, and cost-effective analysis of DNA methylation. Additionally, electrochemical methods are highly amenable to miniaturization and possess the potential to be multiplexed. In recent years, several reviews have provided information on the detection strategies of DNA methylation. However, to date, there is no comprehensive evaluation of electrochemical DNA methylation detection strategies. Herein, we address the recent developments of electrochemical DNA methylation detection approaches. Furthermore, we highlight the major technical and biological challenges involved in these strategies and provide suggestions for the future direction of this important field.

Abstract
Sensitive and reliable detection of DNA methyltransferase (MTase) is of great significance for both early tumor diagnosis and therapy. In this study, a simple, label-free and sensitive DNA MTase-sensing method was developed on the basis of a nicking endonuclease-mediated multiple primers-like rolling circle amplification (RCA) strategy. In this method, a dumbbell RCA template was prepared by blunt-end ligation of two molecules of hairpin DNA. In addition to the primer-binding sequence, the dumbbell template contained another three important parts: 5'-CCGG-3' sequences in double-stranded stems, nicking endonuclease recognition sites and C-rich sequences in single-stranded loops. The introduction of 5'-CCGG-3' sequences allows the dumbbell template to be destroyed by the restriction endonuclease, HpaII, but is not destroyed in the presence of the target MTase-M.SssI MTase. The introduction of nicking endonuclease recognition sites makes the M.SssI MTase-protected dumbbell template-mediated RCA proceed in a multiple primers-like exponential mode, thus providing the RCA with high amplification efficiency. The introduction of C-rich sequences may promote the folding of amplification products into a G-quadruplex structure, which is specifically recognized by the commercially available fluorescent probe thioflavin T. Improved RCA amplification efficiency and specific fluorescent recognition of RCA products provide the M.SssI MTase-sensing platform with high sensitivity. When a dumbbell template containing four nicking endonuclease sites is used, highly specific M.SssI MTase activity detection can be achieved in the range of 0.008-50U/mL with a detection limit as low as 0.0011U/mL. Simple experimental operation and mix-and-detection fluorescent sensing mode ensures that M.SssI MTase quantitation works well in a real-time RCA mode, thus further simplifying the sensing performance and making high throughput detection possible. The proposed MTase-sensing strategy was also demonstrated to be applicable for screening and evaluating the inhibitory activity of MTase inhibitors.
