Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex process that plays a critical role in tumor progression. In this study, we present an EMT sensing panel for the classification of cancer cells at different EMT stages. This sensing panel consists of three types of fluorescent probes based on boronic acid-functionalized carbon-nitride nanosheet (BCN) derivatives. The selective response toward different EMT-associated biomarkers, namely, EpCAM, N-cadherin, and sialic acid (SA), was achieved by conjugating the corresponding antibodies to each BCN derivative, whereas the rare-earth-doping ensures simultaneous sensing of the three biomarkers with fluorescent emission of the three probes at different wavelengths. Sensitive sensing of the three biomarkers was achieved at the protein level with LODs reaching 1.35 ng mL-1 for EpCAM, 1.62 ng mL-1 for N-cadherin, and 1.54 ng mL-1 for SA. The selective response of these biomarkers on the cell surface also facilitated sensitive detection of MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells with LODs of 2 cells/mL and 2 cells/mL, respectively. Based on the simultaneous sensing of the three biomarkers on cancer cells that underwent different extents of EMT, precise discrimination and classification of cells at various EMT stages were also achieved with an accuracy of 93.3%. This EMT sensing panel provided a versatile tool for monitoring the EMT evolution process and has the potential to be used for the evaluation of the EMT-targeting therapy and metastasis prediction.

[PMID: 38998952 PMCID: PMC11243670 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29133000] [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: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The sensitivity of immunoassays is generally limited by the low signal reporter/recognition element ratio. Nanomaterials serving as the carriers can enhance the loading number of signal reporters, thus improving the detection sensitivity. However, the general immobilization strategies, including direct physical adsorption and covalent coupling, may cause the random orientation and conformational change in proteins, partially or completely suppressing the enzymatic activity and the molecular recognition ability. In this work, we proposed a strategy to load recognition elements of antibodies and enzyme labels using boronic acid-modified metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the nanocarriers for signal amplification. The conjugation strategy was proposed based on the boronate ester interactions between the carbohydrate moieties in antibodies and enzymes and the boronic acid moieties on MOFs. Both enzymes and MOFs could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2, therefore achieving dual signal amplification. To indicate the feasibility and sensitivity of the strategy, colorimetric immunoassays of prostate specific antigen (PSA) were performed with boronic acid-modified Cu-MOFs as peroxidase mimics to catalyze TMB oxidation and nanocarriers to load antibody and enzyme (horseradish peroxidase, HRP). According to the change in the absorbance intensity of the oxidized TMB (oxTMB), PSA at the concentration range of 1~250 pg/mL could be readily determined. In addition, this work presented a site-specific and oriented conjugation strategy for the modification of nanolabels with recognition elements and signal reporters, which should be valuable for the design of novel biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity.

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
This work reports the development of a fluorescence method for the detection of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1), in which a phenylboronic acid-modified fluorescein isothiocyanate dye (FITC-PBA) was used to recognize the formed poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymer. The detection system was designed by conjugating recombinant streptavidin (rSA) with PARP1-specific double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) through streptavidin-biotin interaction. Capture of PARP1 via rSA-biotin-dsDNA allowed for the poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) of both rSA and PARP1 in a homogeneous solution. The resulting rSA-biotin-dsDNA/PAR conjugates were then captured and separated via the commercialized nitrilotriacetic acid-nickel ion-modified magnetic bead (MB-NTA-Ni) through the interaction between NTA-Ni on MB surface and oligohistidine (His6) tag in rSA. The PAR polymer could capture the dye of FITC-PBA through the borate ester interaction between the boronic acid moiety in PBA and the cis-diol group in ribose, thus causing a decrease in fluorescence signal. The PARylation of streptavidin and the influence of steric hindrance on PARylation efficiency were confirmed using reasonable detection strategies. The method showed a wide linear range (0.01~20 U) and a low detection limit (0.01 U). This work should be valuable for the development of novel biosensors for the detection of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases and diol-containing species.

A universal boronate affinity capture-antibody-independent lateral flow immunoassay for point-of-care glycoprotein detection. Talanta 2023; 265:124927.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation and other post-translational modifications are involved in many biological processes including growth, development and immune responses, and glycoproteins are also known as biomarkers for cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In traditional lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for glycoprotein detection, capture antibody (CA) is often required to label targets. However, the production of CA is complicated and expensive, restricting the wide application of LFIA. In this study, we developed a universal boronate affinity CA-independent LFIA method for glycoprotein detection. 4-Mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA)-modified Au nanoparticles (namely 4-MPBA-AuNPs) were used as LFIA labels, which could generate colorimetric signal and showed outstanding capability to bind glycoprotein. Compared with CA, 4-MPBA molecular as a glycoprotein recognition element had more prominent advantages, e.g., low cost, easy availability and good quality controllability. Take carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as model glycoprotein, the limit of detection of this CA-independent LFIA was 1.25 ng/mL by naked eyes, which was 8-fold lower than conventional CA-dependent sandwich LFIA. Significantly, the developed 4-MPBA-AuNPs-based CA-independent LFIA successfully detected 23 CEA-positive samples from 64 suspected human serum samples within 50 min in a nonlaboratory environment, with a 100% accuracy compared to clinical detection method. Therefore, this diagnostic platform could provide an effective tool for point-of-care glycoprotein detection with excellent reproducibility and high specificity.

Abstract
Recently emerged Z-scheme heterostructure-based immunoassays have presented new opportunities for photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing development. Here, we described a tunable signal-on PEC biosensor for the detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), which exploited a competitive absorption effect between Cu(II) ions and a Zr metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) constructed on TiO2 nanorods (Cu2+@Zr-MOF@TiO2 NRs). Water-stable Zr-MOF was coated onto TiO2 NRs on fluorine-doped tin oxide to form a Z-scheme heterostructure substrate (Zr-MOF@TiO2 NRs), which exhibited a high photoelectric response. Cu2+@Zr-MOF@TiO2 NRs, constructed by loading Cu(II) ions onto the architecture of Zr-MOF by electrostatic interaction, demonstrated a low background signal. After sandwich immunorecognition within a 96-well plate, H2S, generated by confined alkaline phosphatase on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, was directed to react with Cu(II) ions to form CuS. This resulted in an in situ change in the photoelectrode and an enhanced photoelectric signal. The developed PEC biosensing platform exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for the cTnI immunoassay with a detection limit of 8.6 pg/mL. The Z-scheme-based competition absorption modulation of photoelectrochemistry provides a new strategy for general PEC biosensing development.

Abstract
Tumor biomarkers are of great value in the liquid biopsy of malignant tumors. In this work, a simple and cost-friendly electrochemical aptasensor was presented for the highly sensitive and selective detection of glycoprotein tumor biomarkers. The DNA aptamer-modified electrode was used as the sensing interface to specifically capture the target glycoprotein tumor biomarkers, to which the alkyl halide initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were then attached via the esterification crosslinking between the boronic acid group and the cis-dihydroxyl sites of the conjugated oligosaccharide chains on glycoprotein tumor biomarkers followed by the growth of long-chain polymers through electrochemically controlled ATRP (eATRP) to efficiently recruit the ferrocene detection tags. As there are tens to hundreds of cis-dihydroxyl sites on a glycoprotein tumor biomarker for attaching ATRP initiators while each long-chain polymer can recruit hundreds to thousands of ferrocene detection tags, a significantly high current signal can be generated even in the presence of ultralow-abundance targets. Hence, the eATRP-based electrochemical aptasensor is capable of sensitively and selectively detecting glycoprotein tumor biomarkers. Using alpha-fetoprotein as the model target, the limit of detection was demonstrated to be 0.32 pg/mL. Moreover, the aptasensor has been successfully applied to detect glycoprotein tumor biomarkers in human serum samples. In view of its high sensitivity and selectivity, simple operation, and cost-friendliness, the eATRP-based electrochemical aptasensor shows great promise in the glycoprotein-based liquid biopsy of malignant tumors, even at the early stage of development.

Abstract
The ordered assembly of nanostructure is an effective strategy used to manipulate the hydrodynamic diameter (DH) of nanoparticles. Herein, a versatile dynamic light scattering (DLS) immunosensing platform is presented to sensitively detect small molecules and biomacromolecules by using the M13 phage as the building module to order the assembly of gold nanoflowers and gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles, respectively. After the directional assembly of M13 phage, the DH of the probes was significantly increased due to its larger filamentous structure, thus improving the detection sensitivity of the DLS immunosensor. The designed M13 assembled DLS immunosensor with competitive and sandwich formats showed high sensitivities for ochratoxin A and alpha-fetoprotein in real corn and undiluted serum samples, with the detection limits of 1.37 and 57 pg/mL, respectively. These values are approximately 15.8 and 164.9 times lower than those of traditional phage-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Collectively, this work provides a promising strategy to manipulate the DH of nanoparticles by highly evolved biomaterials such as engineered M13 phages and opens upon a new direction for developing DLS immunosensors to detect various targets by the fusion expression of special peptide or nanobody on the pIII or pVIII protein of M13 phage.

Abstract
The engineering strategy of artificial biointerfaces is vital for governing their performances in bioanalysis and diagnosis. Highly ordered arrangement of affinity ligands on the interface surface facilitates efficient interaction with target molecules, whereas biointerfaces aimed at drug delivery or rare cell isolation require sophisticated stimuli-response mechanisms. However, it is still challenging to facilely fabricate biointerfaces possessing the two features. Herein, we endow a biointerface with both reversibility and capability to orderly assemble affinity ligands by introducing boronic acid moieties alone. By boronate conjugation via glycosylation sites, avidin was well arranged at the surface of boronic acid-decorated carbon nitride nanosheets for the assembly of biotinylated aptamers. The ordered orientation of aptamers largely relieved their inactivation caused by inter-strand entanglement, facilitating significant increase in cell affinity for the isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). The reversible boronate conjugation also facilitated mild release of CTCs by acid fructose with high cell viability. This engineered interface was capable of isolating CTCs from the peripheral blood of tumor-bearing mice and cancer patients. The successful utilization of the isolated CTCs in the downstream drug susceptibility test and mutation analysis demonstrated the clinical potential of this biointerface for the early diagnosis of cancers and precision medicine.

Abstract
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common inborn error of amino acid metabolism caused by an inherited deficiency in L-phenylalanine-4-hydroxylase (PAH) activity. It is usually controlled by diet and monitored regularly with markers, as PKU is not curable. However, conventional methods for target biomarker analysis are invasive and labor intensive. Here, we report a rapid and sensitive, mimetic immunoassay for detecting phenylpyruvate (PhPY) based on stimuli-responsive upconversion nanoparticles with an inner filter effect (IFE). The strong and specific binding of PhPY and Fe3+ forms a complex with maximum absorption at approximately 640 nm. Upon the addition of LiYF4:Er,Ho@LiYF4 UCNPs (maximum emission at 699 nm), the inner filter effect is triggered along with a concurrent decrease in fluorescence. The proposed method demonstrates ultra sensitivity with a detection limit of 79.63 μg L-1, which is superior to most reported methods, thereby enabling phenylpyruvate assays on human urine.

Abstract
The immunosensor has been proven a versatile tool to detect various analytes, such as food contaminants, pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics and biomarkers related to cancer. To fabricate robust and reproducible immunosensors with high sensitivity, the covalent immobilization of immunoglobulins (IgGs) in a site-specific manner contributes to better performance. Instead of the random IgG orientations result from the direct yet non-selective immobilization techniques, this review for the first time introduces the advances of stepwise yet site-selective conjugation strategies to give better biosensing efficiency. Noncovalently adsorbing IgGs is the first but decisive step to interact specifically with the Fc fragment, then following covalent conjugate can fix this uniform and antigens-favorable orientation irreversibly. In this review, we first categorized this stepwise strategy into two parts based on the different noncovalent interactions, namely adhesive layer-mediated interaction onto homofunctional support and layer-free interaction onto heterofunctional support (which displays several different functionalities on its surface that are capable to interact with IgGs). Further, the influence of ligands characteristics (synthesis strategies, spacer requirements and matrices selection) on the heterofunctional support has also been discussed. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives for the real-world application of stepwise covalent conjugation are discussed. This review provides more insights into the fabrication of high-efficiency immunosensor, and special attention has been devoted to the well-orientation of full-length IgGs onto the sensing platform.

Abstract
Exosomes are a promising noninvasive tumor biomarker for cancer diagnosis and classification. However, efficient capture and precise analysis of exosomes in complex biological samples remain challenging. Here, sensitive profiling of exosomes with an integrated separation-detection strategy of 37 min is performed based on boronic acid-directed coupling immunoaffinity. The modification of g-C3N4 nanosheets with boronic acid (BCNNS) contributes to antibody binding under physiological conditions, which is accompanied by fluorescence enhancement. When exosomes are captured by an antibody equipped with BCNNS, a decrease in fluorescence can be induced; moreover, using the dispersion property of BCNNS, the exosomes can be separated by a simple centrifugation step. The protocol shows a favorable sensitivity with a detection limit of 2484 particles/mL. By changing only the fused antibody, exosome phenotype information profiling can be achieved, and exosomes derived from four different cell lines (HeLa, HepG2, MCF-7, and MCF-10A) can be successfully distinguished. More significantly, the positive prediction accuracy results reach 100% for serum samples from different individuals and have the advantage of multiple parameters; thus, the method has great potential in noninvasive diagnosis and point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Terbium doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4:Tb) gives rise to two exceptional emissions at λex/λem = 290/490 nm and 290/546 nm, with extremely narrow peak widths of FWHM < 12 nm as well as a large Stokes shift of >200 nm. The modification of g-C3N4:Tb with HOOC-PEG-COOH provides a ratiometric fluorescent probe which ensures highly sensitive detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity based on the inner filter effect (IFE).
