Abstract
Low-cost, rapid, and easy-to-use biosensors for various cancer biomarkers are of utmost importance in detecting cancer biomarkers for early-stage metastasis control and efficient diagnosis. The molecular complexity of cancer biomarkers is overwhelming, thus, the repeatability and reproducibility of measurements by biosensors are critical factors. Electrochemical biosensors are attractive alternatives in cancer diagnosis due to their low cost, simple operation, and promising analytical figures of merit. Recently graphene-derived nanostructures have been used extensively for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensors because of their unique physicochemical properties, including the high electrical conductivity, adsorption capacity, low cost and ease of mass production, presence of oxygen-containing functional groups that facilitate the bioreceptor immobilization, increased flexibility and mechanical strength, low cellular toxicity. Indeed, these properties make them advantageous compared to other alternatives. However, some drawbacks must be overcome to extend their use, such as poor and uncontrollable deposition on the substrate due to the low dispersity of some graphene materials and irreproducibility of the results because of the differences in various batches of the produced graphene materials. This review has documented the most recently developed strategies for electrochemical sensor fabrication. It differs in the categorization method compared to published works to draw greater attention to the wide opportunities of graphene nanomaterials for biological applications. Limitations and future scopes are discussed to advance the integration of novel technologies such as artificial intelligence, the internet of medical things, and triboelectric nanogenerators to eventually increase efficacy and efficiency.

[PMID: 37976772 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108590] [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: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
This work describes the development of a novel voltammetric immunosensor for the detection of salivary MMP-8 at the point-of-care. The electrochemical platform was based on a graphene (GPH) screen-printed electrode (SPE) functionalized by gold-nanospheres (AuNSs) and antibodies against MMP-8 protein (anti-MMP-8). The functionalization with anti-MMP-8 was realized by using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA), thanks to its ability to give strong sulfur bonds with its -SH end, and to cross-link the -NH2 groups of the antibody molecule with the other -COOH end, using the traditional EDC-NHS method. The voltammetric sensor showed good performances with a linear range of 2.5-300 ng mL-1, a LOD value of 1.0 ± 0.1 ng mL-1 and a sensitivity of 0.05 µA mL cm-2 ng-1. Moreover, the proposed immunosensor was tested in real saliva samples, showing comparable results to those obtained with the conventional ELISA method. The biosensor was single-use and cost-effective and required a small quantity of test medium and a short preparation time, representing a very attractive biosensor for MMP-8 detection in human saliva.

"OR" logic gate multiplexed photoelectrochemical sensor for high-risk human papillomaviruses: "One pot" recombinase polymerase amplification and logic discrimination. Talanta 2024; 266:125090.

Abstract
Multiple targets analysis in complex samples is of great importance in medical and health sciences. Limited by independent laborious operational procedures, multiple targets determination remains a challenge. Herein, we report an "OR" logic gate multiplexed photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on "one pot" recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) strategy. "One pot" RPA triggers exponential growth of multiple DNA in complex samples. Subsequently, the amplification products interact separately with lambda exonuclease (λ exo) or Cas12a-crRNA. Following the multiple targets recognition event, the dual enzyme-mediated cleavage separates the signal labels from the photocathode. The resulting photocurrent change is utilized for logical discrimination and detection. The feasibility of the sensor is verified by analyzing the two typical duplex DNA (high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV)). Ultralow detection limit (0.088 fg/μL, 0.081 fg/μL) with broad detection range (0.1 fg/μL to 10 ng/μL, 0.1 fg/μL to 1 ng/μL) for HPV16 and HPV18 are obtained. Eliminating instrumentation constraints (light source/potential modulation) and simplifying operation procedures, this work opens an avenue for developing multiplexed sensing devices for clinical diagnosis and disease treatment.

Enzymatic cleavage of specific dipeptide conjugated with ferrocene as a flexible ultra-sensitive and fast voltammetric assay of matrix metalloproteinase-9 considered a prognostic cancer biomarker in plasma samples. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 195:113653.

Abstract
Studies over the last decade have shown that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in the growth and metastasis of cancer. This zinc-dependent family of endopeptidases is crucial for the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as serves as important ECM transducers which have been recognized as early biomarkers for both cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we designed a new type of voltammetric biosensor, composed of a glycine-methionine dipeptide conjugated covalently to ferrocene (Gly-Met-Fc), for fast and ultrasensitive detection of the active form of MMP-9 in plasma samples. The detection was based on specific enzymatic cleavage of the Gly-Met peptide bond, which was monitored by voltammetry and gravimetry measurements. The ferrocene units act as voltammetric visualizers for the detection process. The cysteamine layer directly anchored to the gold surface ensured that the packing density of Gly-Met-Fc in the receptor layer was appropriate for the sensitive detection of MMP-9 in its active form. The developed biosensor was characterized by the widest analytical range (2.0·10-6 - 5.0 μg⋅mL-1) and low detection limit (0.04 pg⋅mL-1). Another valuable feature of the proposed biosensor is that it can be applied directly to the plasma samples without any additional preparation step and thus speeds up the analysis.

Abstract
Methylene blue (MB) adsorption onto a two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D MoS2)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite sitting on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is used to develop a new sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) cancer biomarkers. The 2D MoS2/GO nanocomposite deposited onto an SPCE provides a large specific surface area, fast electron transfer, and exceptional electrical conductivity. Furthermore, MB adsorbed onto the 2D MoS2/GO nanocomposite architecture can be used for signal amplification in electrochemical immunosensors. Moreover, an immunosensor platform was fabricated by the adsorption of anti-MMP-7 capture antibodies onto the MB/2D MoS2/GO nanocomposite surface via electrostatic interactions for the detection of the MMP-7 immunocomplex. Under optimum conditions, the label-free immunosensor exhibits a decrease in the current response for MB corresponding to the MMP-7 concentration. The sensor affords a linear logarithmic range of 0.010-75 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.007 ng mL-1. The developed electrochemical immunosensor provides high selectivity, good reproducibility, and excellent stability. Furthermore, the proposed immunosensor can be applied for the detection of MMP-7 in human serum samples with good recovery. Thus, this device can be applied for the early clinical diagnosis of pancreatic and colorectal cancers.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are closely associated with various physiological and pathological processes, and have been regarded as potential biomarkers for severe diseases including cancer. Accurate determination of MMPs would advance our understanding of their roles in disease progression, and is of great significance for disease diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of the developed bioassays/biosensors for detection of MMPs, and highlight the recent advancement in nanomaterial-based immunoassays for MMP abundance measurements and nanomaterial-based biosensors for MMP activity determination. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based immunoassays provide information about total levels of MMPs with high specificity and sensitivity, while target-based biosensors measure the amounts of active MMPs, and allow imaging of MMP activities in vivo. For multiplex and high-throughput analysis of MMPs, microfluidics and microarray-based assays are described. Additionally, we put forward the existing challenges and future prospects from our perspective.

Abstract
Although fluorescence-based analytical methods have been used in intracellular analyses, their sensitivity is low for the precise analysis of intracellular proteolytic enzymes to observe cell apoptosis related to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, a metal-enhanced-fluorescence (MEF)-based highly sensitive biosensor for the detection of proteolytic enzymes is proposed for the first time by using a bifunctional Au nanoparticle (AuNP), which is connected to the fluorophore by both single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and a peptide. Once caspase-3, a proteolytic enzyme, cuts the peptide specifically, the fluorescence signal is drastically increased because the ssDNA maintains an optimal distance for the MEF. The proposed sensing method shows the highly sensitive detection of caspase-3 based on just a simple enzymatic cleavage reaction within 1 h, and caspase-3-related preapoptotic cell detection was successfully carried out with high sensitivity. The proposed sensing method is a rapid, simple, and one-step technique for the real-time monitoring of intracellular proteolytic enzymes and can be applied to the early diagnosis of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
A paper-based visual fluorescence immunoassay is presented for the detection of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) that is related to renal cancer. The method is based on the distance-dependent fluorescence quenching of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) on a nitrocellulose membrane by Ag+ following a sandwich-type immunoreaction on microtiter wells using silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-labeled secondary antibody- and primary antibody-coated microtiter wells. The silver nanoparticles captured in the well are dissolved with HNO3, while the quenching effect of QDs is based on silver ion-exchange reaction under 365-nm excitation light irradiation. Increasing concentration of released Ag+, thus higher concentration of the protein, leads to an increased distance of quenching on the nitrocellulose membrane. The paper-based immunoassay by combination of AgNP-assisted ion-exchange reaction with QD gives good distance-dependent responses and allows the detection of MMP7 at a concentration as low as 7.3 pg mL-1. The coefficients of variation are less than 6.9% and 12.4% for intra-assay and inter-assay, respectively. High specificity and long-term stability are achieved during the assay. Importantly, the testing of human serum samples using our strategy shows well-matched results with commercial human MMP7 ELISA kits. Graphical abstract A distance-dependent visual immunoassay is developed for the determination of serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 on CdTe quantum dot-impregnated paper with silver ion-exchange reaction.

Abstract
In this work, a novel "signal-on" electrochemical peptide biosensor based on peptide-conjugated hemin/G-quadruplex (DNAzyme-peptide) hybrid and rosebud-like MoSe2@reduced graphene oxide (MoSe2@rGO) nanocomposite, was developed for detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Interestingly, the peptide not only served as recognition probe to detect PSA, but also acted as the enhancer to improve the enzyme activity of hemin/G4, which promoted the detection sensitivity. Up addition of PSA, Fe3O4-labeled DNAzyme-peptide probe was cleaved, followed by the magnetic separation. The cleaved DNAzyme-peptide was then captured onto the cysteine-modified electrode via the interaction between carboxyl groups of peptide and amino group of cysteine. A strong electrochemical signal was obtained from hemin and further was amplified by the enhanced electrocatalysis of DNAzyme-peptide. Compared to the original DNAzyme, DNAzyme-peptide exhibited more than 3-fold enhancement in signal amplification. And MoSe2@rGO amplified the electrochemical signal due to its good conductivity and large surface area. So the proposed strategy detected PSA down to 0.3 fg/mL, and it showed the advantages of simplicity, low cost by avoiding the use of expensive protein enzyme and additional electroactive species. Therefore, the proposed biosensor potentially provided a very effective tool for early diagnosis of cancer by the detection of PSA.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL), as a sensitive and controllable assay, offers a considerable opportunity for multiple types of biomarkers detection. However, constructing such a biosensor remains a significant challenge. Herein, an ultrasensitive and versatile ECL biosensor was constructed to detect multiple types of biomarkers from breast cancer by taking the strategies of nonenzymatic catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification, as well as aptamer-triggered emitter release. Concretely, with the appearance of target 1 microRNA-21 (miRNA-21), abundant double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) polymers were generated on this biosensing surface via amplification circuits of CHA and HCR, which could be intercalated into substantial ([Ru(bpy)2dppz]Cl2) as ECL indicators to obtain an obvious enhancement of ECL signal for target 1 detection with a detection limit (0.1 fM). Furthermore, in the presence of target 2 human mucin 1 (MUC1) protein, the ECL signal had a distinct decrease, because aptamer recognition induced the release of [Ru(bpy)2dppz]Cl2 from the sensing surface, thus, achieving a sensitive detection for MUC1 with a detection limit (2.4 fg·mL-1). Simultaneously, this sensing platform was applied to monitor the biomarkers from MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, suggesting that this method was applicable to detect real samples. Therefore, this platform is an applicable and versatile implement for the determination of multiple types of biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

Abstract
Presently, most reported electrochemical biosensors, for highly sensitive and selective detection of nucleic acid, still require multiple, time-consuming assembly steps and high-consumption DNA probes as well as lack good performance in human serum, which greatly limit their applicability. Herein, an easy-to-fabricate electrochemical DNA biosensor constructed by assembly of bovine serum albumin (BSA) followed with direct incubation of amplified products has been proposed. This method combined terminal deoxynucleoside transferase (TdTase)-mediated isothermal amplification and polyHRP catalysis to achieve dual-signal enhancement, and was featured with low-density DNA monolayer for its employment of only 2 nM capture probes. Surprisingly, based on the low-density DNA monolayer, the steric hindrance effect of polyHRP could effectively restrain the background compared with HRP, which further pushes the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio to 70 than that of most currently available methods. Additionally, this strategy also showed favorable specificity and powerful anti-interference in human serum, and thus potentially attractive for diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
By introducing palindromic sequences into the classical exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR), we constructed a new palindromic fragment-incorporated multifunctional hairpin probe (P-HP)-mediated symmetric exponential amplification reaction (S-EXPAR), to significantly reduce the background signal caused by inherent nonspecific amplification. A G-triplex/ThT complex was used as the signal reporter for the proposed label-free DNA nanomachine. The P-HP consists of five functional regions: a C-rich region (C), a target DNA recognition region (T′), two nicking sites (X′) and a palindromic fragment (P). When target DNA (T) hybridizes with P-HP, the palindromic fragment at the 3′ end of P-HP is fully exposed. Then, the P-HP/T duplexes hybridize with each other through the exposed P, and EXPAR occurs automatically and continuously on both sides of P under the synergistic effect of polymerase and nicking endonuclease. This is called the S-EXPAR assay. In this system, one T converts to a large number of G-triplex fragments, which can combine with ThT within a short time. The G-triplex/ThT complexes formed act as the signal reporter in a label-free and environmentally friendly format. In this way, the limit of detection of this method is as low as 10 pM with a dynamic response range of 10 pM to 300 nM. In addition, this method can detect other nucleic acids by simply changing the T′ region of the P-HP. Thus, the proposed DNA nanomachine is a potential alternative method for nucleic acid detection. This label-free and ultra-low background signal DNA nanomachine was based on P-HP mediated S-EXPAR and the G-triplex/ThT complex.![]()

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-7 plays a pivotal role in tumour progression and metastasis as an enzyme that can degrade the cell-matrix composition and cleave peptides between alanine and leucine in various biomolecular activation processes. In this work, a Pd-functionalised carbon nanocomposite was designed as a new impedance enhancer for an amperometric sensor of MMP-7. Pd nanoparticles in the enhancer can catalyse the oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol with H2O2 to generate insoluble precipitation in situ, forming high-resistance precipitation on electrodes. In addition, poorly conductive carbon nanospheres of the nanocomposite increased the precipitation resistance, further causing a dramatic increase in resistivity of the enhancer and, subsequently, a significant decrease in current. This can significantly promote the current signal difference between the biosensor treated with and without the target analyte, which is directly related to the sensitivity of the amperometric biosensor. Overall, electrochemical biosensor can sensitively detect MMP-7 in the range of 100 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection for MMP-7 of 17.38 fg mL-1.
