Lee S, Kim H, Yoon J, Ju Y, Park HG. A personal glucose meter-utilized strategy for portable and label-free detection of hydrogen peroxide. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 253:116141. [PMID: 38428072 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116141] [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: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Rapid and precise detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) holds great significance since it is linked to numerous physiological and inorganic catalytic processes. We herein developed a label-free and washing-free strategy to detect H2O2 by employing a hand-held personal glucose meter (PGM) as a signal readout device. By focusing on the fact that the reduced redox mediator ([Fe(CN)6]4-) itself is responsible for the final PGM signal, we developed a new PGM-based strategy to detect H2O2 by utilizing the target H2O2-mediated oxidation of [Fe(CN)6]4- to [Fe(CN)6]3- in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and monitoring the reduced PGM signal in response to the target amount. Based on this straightforward and facile design principle, H2O2 was successfully determined down to 3.63 μM with high specificity against various non-target molecules. We further demonstrated that this strategy could be expanded to identify another model target choline by detecting H2O2 produced through its oxidation promoted by choline oxidase. Moreover, we verified its practical applicability by reliably determining extracellular H2O2 released from the breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. This work could evolve into versatile PGM-based platform technology to identify various non-glucose target molecules by employing their corresponding oxidase enzymes, greatly advancing the portable biosensing technologies.

Abstract
The detection and analysis of small molecules, typically defined as molecules under 1000 Da, is of growing interest ranging from the development of small-molecule drugs and inhibitors to the sensing of toxins and biomarkers. However, due to challenges such as their small size and low mass, many biosensing technologies struggle to have the sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of small molecules. Notably, their small size limits the usage of labeled techniques that can change the properties of small-molecule analytes. Furthermore, the capability of real-time detection is highly desired for small-molecule biosensors' application in diagnostics or screening. This review highlights recent advances in label-free real-time biosensing technologies utilizing different types of transducers to meet the growing demand for small-molecule detection.

Abstract
Cell energy metabolism is a complex and multifaceted process by which some of the most important nutrients, particularly glucose and other sugars, are transformed into energy. This complexity is a result of dynamic interactions between multiple components, including ions, metabolic intermediates, and products that arise from biochemical reactions, such as glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), the two main metabolic pathways that provide adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of chemical energy driving various physiological activities. Impaired cell energy metabolism and perturbations or dysfunctions in associated metabolites are frequently implicated in numerous diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders. As a result, altered metabolites hold value as potential disease biomarkers. Electrochemical biosensors are attractive devices for the early diagnosis of many diseases and disorders based on biomarkers due to their advantages of efficiency, simplicity, low cost, high sensitivity, and high selectivity in the detection of anomalies in cellular energy metabolism, including key metabolites involved in glycolysis and mitochondrial processes, such as glucose, lactate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutamate, and ATP, both in vivo and in vitro. This paper offers a detailed examination of electrochemical biosensors for the detection of glycolytic and mitochondrial metabolites, along with their many applications in cell chips and wearable sensors.

Abstract
A uniformly oriented purple membrane (PM) monolayer containing photoactive bacteriorhodopsin has recently been applied as a sensitive photoelectric transducer to assay color proteins and microbes quantitatively. This study extends its application to detecting small molecules, using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as an example. A reverse detection method is used, which employs AuNPs labeling and specific DNA strand displacement. A PM monolayer-coated electrode is first covalently conjugated with an ATP-specific nucleic acid aptamer and then hybridized with another gold nanoparticle-labeled nucleic acid strand with a sequence that is partially complementary to the ATP aptamer, in order to significantly minimize the photocurrent that is generated by the PM. The resulting ATP-sensing chip restores its photocurrent production in the presence of ATP, and the photocurrent recovers more effectively as the ATP concentration increases. Direct and single-step ATP detection is achieved in 15 min, with detection limits of 5 nM and a dynamic range of 5 nM-0.1 mM. The sensing chip exhibits high selectivity against other ATP analogs and is satisfactorily stable in storage. The ATP-sensing chip is used to assay bacterial populations and achieves a detection limit for Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli of 102 and 103 CFU/mL, respectively. The demonstration shows that a variety of small molecules can be simultaneously quantified using PM-based biosensors.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) participates in the regulation of most biological processes, and the ATP level is closely associated with many diseases. However, it still remains challenging to achieve on-site monitoring of ATP in an equipment-free and efficient way. Microneedles, a minimally invasive technology that can extract biomarkers from liquid biopsies, have recently emerged as useful tools for early diagnosis of a broad range of diseases. In this work, we developed hydrogel microneedles that are loaded with ATP-specific dual-emitting gold nanoclusters (RhE-AuNCs) for fast sampling and on-needle detection of ATP. These RhE-AuNCs were photo-crosslinked to the hydrogel matrix to form a fluorescent microneedle patch. Based on the ATP-induced Förster resonance energy transfer in RhE-AuNCs, a highly selective, sensitive, and reliable ATP sensor was developed. Moreover, simultaneous capture and visual detection of ATP was achieved by the AuNC-loaded microneedle sensing platform, which exhibits promising sensing performance. This work provides a new approach to design a point-of-care ATP sensing platform, which also holds great potential for the further development of microneedle-based analytical devices.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that are approximately 22 nt in length and regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. miRNAs play a vital role in both physiological and pathological processes and are regarded as promising biomarkers for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and so on. Accurate detection of miRNA expression level in clinical samples is important for miRNA-guided diagnostics. However, the common miRNA detection approaches like RNA sequencing, qRT-PCR, and miRNA microarray are performed in a professional laboratory with complex intermediate steps and are time-consuming and costly, challenging the miRNA-guided diagnostics. Hence, sensitive, highly specific, rapid, and easy-to-use detection of miRNAs is crucial for clinical diagnosis based on miRNAs. With the advantages of being specific, sensitive, efficient, cost-saving, and easy to operate, point-of-care testing (POCT) has been widely used in the detection of miRNAs. For the first time, we mainly focus on summarizing the research progress in POCT of miRNAs based on portable instruments and visual readout methods. As widely available pocket-size portable instruments and visual detection play important roles in POCT, we provide an all-sided discussion of the principles of these methods and their main limitations and challenges, in order to provide a guide for the development of more accurate, specific, and sensitive POCT methods for miRNA detection.

Abstract
The cost-effective, convenient, visible, and equipment-free determination of biomarkers is always the priority development concern of disease diagnosis. The paper-based signal output strategy permits output visual signals without instruments and is regarded as a promising approach with simple operation and low cost. Herein, by varying the addition amount of trypsin, we pioneered a novel enzyme mineralization strategy to construct trypsin@ZIF-90 with tunable porosity properties and catalytic activity. The successful synthesis of trypsin@ZIF-90, which is tagged with T1, T3,... (Tx, x is the addition amount of trypsin. Unit: mg), demonstrated the feasibility of this strategy. By serving the constructed trypsin@ZIF-90-T1 as the target recognition module, and a new designed hydrogel-integrated pH indicator strip as the signal reporter, a point-of-care test (POCT) platform was developed for convenient and equipment-free measurement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The enzymatic activity measurement of trypsin@ZIF-90 and concurrently the quantitative analysis of ATP can be favorably realized by simple counting the flow distance and coverage area of water released during the reaction on a pH indicator strip. As a result, this portable platform can enable rapid detection of ATP in the linear range of 20-1500 μM and possesses favorable sensitivity, selectivity, and applicability. Thus, the constructions of tunable frameworks and paper-based POCT are of outstanding significance in the fields of porous metal-organic framework synthesis, enzyme mineralization, and rapid detection for medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring applications.

Abstract
Exosome plays a crucial role in regulating intercellular communication during atherosclerosis development. However, sensitive and portable exosome detection remains a huge challenge. Herein, a personal glucose meter (PGM)-based exosomes detection approach has been proposed that allows detection of exosomes with a high sensitivity and reproducibility. In this method, a catch probe, which is composed of CD63 aptamer and blocker sequence, is utilized for the specific identification of exosomes. The blocker sequence binds with H probe to initiate the Exo-III-assisted signal recycles to generate numerous DNAzyme sequences. Under the assistance of the substrate, DNAzyme forms its active secondary structure to generate gap site in substrate, releasing a linker to conjugate sucrase to streptavidin magnetic beads (SMBs). After removing unbound sucrase, the SMB-linker-sucrase complex is used to catalyze sucrose to glucose, which can be read by PGMs. Based on this, the method exhibits a wide detection range and a low limit of detection, holding a promising prospect for the analysis of exosomes and screening atherosclerosis.

Abstract
We have developed a new naphthalimide-based amphiphile (YN-1) for the simultaneous detection of ATP and CTP. In YN-1, the cationic tyrosine-linked polyamine (+2 charge, hydrophilic unit) is appended at the -peri position of naphthalimide (hydrophobic unit). YN-1 and its Boc-protected compound 4 were characterized using state-of-the-art spectroscopic and optical techniques such as NMR, IR, UV-vis and fluorescence. The fluorescence data revealed that YN-1 showed a 'turn-on' (λem = 440 nm) fluorescence response for nanomolar detection of nucleoside triphosphates such as ATP and CTP in 20% HEPES buffer-DMSO solution. YN-1 also showed a concentration-based discrimination between ATP and CTP. YN-1 has been successfully applied for bioimaging of nucleoside triphosphates in MCF-7 live cancer cells with good compatibility. Therefore, the important findings from the present work will provide insight for future development of fluorescent probes to detect various kinds of essential nucleoside triphosphates.

Abstract
Herein, we described a washing- and label-free clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/LwaCas13a-based RNA detection method utilizing a personal glucose meter (PGM), which relies on the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas13a and kinase reactions. In principle, the presence of target RNA activates the trans-cleavage of CRISPR/Cas13a, generating 2',3'-cyclic phosphate adenosine, which is converted to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) by the T4 polynucleotide kinase. Subsequently, the AMP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) through phosphorylation by a myokinase; ADP is then used as a substrate in the cascade enzymatic reaction promoted by pyruvate kinase and hexokinase. The overall reaction leads to the continuous conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, resulting in a reduction of glucose concentration proportional to the level of target RNA, which can therefore be indirectly measured with a PGM. By employing this novel strategy, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 RNA can be successfully detected with excellent specificity. In addition, we were able to overcome non-specific responses of CRISPR/Cas13a and distinguish single nucleotide polymorphisms by introducing a single-base mismatch in the complementary RNA. Our study provides an alternative coronavirus disease 2019 detection technology that is affordable, accessible, and portable with a fast turnaround time and excellent selectivity.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated a personal glucose meter-based method for washing-free and label-free inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) detection, which relies on the cascade enzymatic reaction (CER) promoted by hexokinase and pyruvate kinase. In principle, the absence of target PPase enables adenosine triphosphate sulfurylase to catalyze the conversion of pyrophosphate (PPi) to ATP, a substrate of CER, which results in the significant reduction of glucose levels by the effective CER process. In contrast, the PPi cleavage activity works in the presence of target PPase by decomposing PPi to orthophosphate (Pi). Therefore, the CER process cannot be effectively executed, leading to the maintenance of the initial high glucose level that may be measured by a portable personal glucose meter. Based on this novel strategy, a quantitative evaluation of the PPase activity may be achieved in a dynamic linear range of 1.5-25 mU/mL with a detection limit of 1.18 mU/mL. Compared with the previous PPase detection methods, this method eliminates the demand for expensive and bulky analysis equipment as well as a complex washing step. More importantly, the diagnostic capability of this method was also successfully verified by reliably detecting PPase present in an undiluted human serum sample with an excellent recovery ratio of 100 ± 2%.

Abstract
Positively charged amphiphiles hold great significance in supramolecular chemistry due to their good solubility, and physiochemical and molecular recognition properties. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and molecular recognition properties of the dicationic amphiphile based on perylene diimide-tyrosine alkyl amide amine (PDI 3). PDI 3 showed the formation of a nanoring architecture in the self-assembled aggregated state (90% H2O-DMSO mixture) as observed by SEM and TEM studies. The diameter of the nanoring is around 30-50 nm with a height varying from 1 to 2 nm. The self-assembled aggregates of PDI 3 are very sensitive towards nucleoside triphosphates. Upon addition of ATP, PDI 3 showed a decrease in the absorbance and emission intensity at 535 and 580 nm (due to the monomer state), respectively. The lowest detection limit for ATP is 10.8 nM (UV) and 3.06 nM (FI). Upon interaction of ATP with PDI 3, the nanoring morphology transformed into a spherical structure. These changes could be attributed to the formation of ionic self-assembled aggregates between dicationic PDI 3 and negatively charged ATP via electrostatic and H-bonding interactions. The complexation mechanism of PDI 3 and ATP was confirmed by optical, NMR, Job's plot, DLS, SEM and AFM studies. PDI 3 displays low cytotoxicity toward MG-63 cells and can be successfully used for the detection of exogenous and endogenous ATP. The resulting PDI 3 + ATP complex is successfully used as a 'turn-on' biochemical assay for monitoring phosphorylation of glucose.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are physiological status-related molecules which can be used as biomarkers for diseases, such as cancers. The point-of-care testing (POCT) of miRNAs has great application potential in early diagnosis and process monitoring of diseases. In this paper, a fast and dual signal outputs detection for microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) was established by using both personal glucose meter (PGM) and fluorescence spectrometer. In such an assay protocol, a dual-functional hairpin structure was rationally designed to recognize miRNA-21 and serve as the carrier of the reporter adenosine monophosphate (AMP). The hairpin structure can be specifically degraded by exonuclease T (Exo T) after hybridization with the target miRNA-21, releasing a large amount of AMP as the reporter. Then a smart signal conversion machinery composed of four enzymes and the corresponding substrates was employed to produce dual output signals through enzymatic cascade reactions. The machinery includes two parts: an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation system and a glucose consumption/NADPH production system. The produced AMP in the former step triggers the production of ATP, and subsequently the consumption of glucose and the production of NADPH. The changes of both glucose and NADPH are proportional to the concentration of miRNA-21, and can be determined by PGM and fluorescence spectrometer, respectively. Besides, the build-in substrate-recycling mechanism achieves signal amplification of the cascade enzymatic reactions. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the PGM signal is linearly correlated with the concentration of miRNA-21 in the range from 5 to 150 nM, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 3.65 nM. The LOD of fluorescence detection mode is even lowered to 0.03 nM. The miRNA-21-spiked serum samples, as well as the actual serum samples from cancer patients, have been successfully detected by this detection strategy. Thus the established assay provides a POCT solution for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
We herein describe a cascade enzymatic reaction (CER)-based IgE detection method utilizing a personal glucose meter (PGM), which relies on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity that regulates the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The amount of sandwich assay complex is determined according to the presence or absence of the target IgE. Additionally, the ALP in the sandwich assay catalyzes the dephosphorylation of ATP, a substrate of CER, which results in the changes in glucose level. By employing this principle, IgE was reliably detected at a concentration as low as ca. 29.6 ng/mL with high specificity toward various proteins. Importantly, the limit of detection (LOD) of this portable PGM-based approach was comparable to currently commercialized ELISA kit without expensive and bulky analysis equipment as well as complexed washing step. Finally, the diagnostic capability of this method was also successfully verified by reliably detecting IgE present in a real human serum sample with an excellent recovery ratio within 100 ± 6%.

Abstract
The practical use of a point-of-care (POC) device is of particular interest in performing liquid biopsies related to cancer. Herein, taking advantage of the practical convenience of a commercially available personal glucose meter (PGM), we report a convenient, low-cost and sensitive detection strategy for circulating microRNA-155 (miRNA155) in human serum. First, miRNA155 in serum triggers the catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction, and then the CHA product is specifically captured by the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes attached to the surface of a 96-well plate, which in turn triggers the hybridization chain reaction (HCR), resulting in the local enrichment of invertase. Next, introduction of a substrate (sucrose) for the invertase results in the generation of glucose, which can be detected by a PGM. In this sensor, neutrally charged PNA (12 nt) is more likely to hybridize with the CHA products than with the negatively charged DNA in kinetics, which improves the detection sensitivity and specificity. Due to the synergistic isothermal amplification reaction between CHA and HCR, the sensor is able to achieve a broad dynamic range (from 1 fM to 10 nM) with a detection limit down to 0.36 fM (3 orders of magnitude lower than that without HCR) and is capable of distinguishing single-base mismatched sequences. Thus the convenient, sensitive, robust and low-cost PGM sensor makes on-site nucleic acids detection possible, suggesting its great application prospect as a promising POC device in cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in various biological processes and the ATP level is closely associated with many diseases. Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescence assay for ATP was developed based on the excimer-monomer transfer of a perylene probe. By encapsulating a perylene probe, N,N'-bis(6-caproic acid)-3,4:9,10-perylenediimide (PDI), into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals, fluorescent nanocomposites (PDI@ZIF-8) with significant excimer emission of the perylene probe were prepared for the first time. The presence of ATP will trigger the decomposition of PDI@ZIF-8 due to much stronger coordination between ATP and Zn2+ than that of 2-methylimidazole and Zn2+. As a result, the encapsulated PDI probes were released, leading to significantly increased monomer emission accompanying the decrease in the excimer emission. The excimer-monomer transition signal was utilized for ratiometric ATP sensing and its potential application for detecting ATP in cell lysates was also successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) was first developed as an enzymatic signaling system of a biosensor for sensitive point-of-care detection of pathogenic bacteria. ALDH and specific aptamers to Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium), as organic components, were embedded in organic-inorganic nanocomposites as a biosensor signal label, integrating the functions of signal amplification and target recognition. The biosensing mechanism is based on the fact that ALDH can catalyze rapid oxidation of acetaldehyde into acetic acid, resulting in pH change with portable pH meter readout. The altered pH exhibited a linear relationship with the logarithm of S. typhimurium from 102 to 108 CFU/mL and detection limit of 46 CFU/mL. Thus, the proposed biosensor has potential application in the diagnosis of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
We herein describe a portable glucose meter (PGM)-utilized label-free and washing-free method for the facile determination of telomerase activity that relies on the kinase-catalyzed cascade enzymatic reaction (KCER) that transduces the telomerase activity to the glucose level. In the sensor, the telomerase that elongates telomere sequences ((TTAGGG)n) from the 3'-terminus of telomerase substrate primer (TSP) consumes deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP), which serves as a phosphate source for KCER promoted by hexokinase and pyruvate kinase. Thus, the presence of telomerase protects KCER from working effectively, resulting in the maintenance of an initial, high glucose level that is readily determined using hand-held PGM. With this strategy, the telomerase activities in various types of cell lines were successfully determined with high sensitivity. Furthermore, the ability of this method to screen candidate inhibitors for telomerase activity was also verified.

Abstract
Recently, personal glucose meter (PGM) has been utilized for the detection of non-glucose targets for point-of-care (POC) testing. Aimed at this goal, we herein developed a new PGM-based label-free read-out method for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on our novel finding that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) exhibit glucose oxidase-like activity comparable to the natural glucose oxidase enzyme. Methods: In principle, DNA amplicons produced by PCR in the presence of target DNA electrostatically bind to CeO2 NPs, leading to their aggregation and reducing the efficiency for CeO2 NP-catalyzed glucose oxidation reaction. Thus, glucose is hardly oxidized to gluconic acid, resulting in the maintenance of initial high glucose level. On the contrary, in the absence of target DNA or presence of non-target DNA, DNA amplicons are not produced and glucose is effectively oxidized by the glucose oxidase-like activity of CeO2 NPs, leading to the significant reduction of glucose level. Finally, the resulting glucose level is simply measured by using PGM. Results: With this strategy, DNA amplicons were quantitatively examined within 5 min, realizing ultrafast analysis of PCR results without any cumbersome and labor-intensive procedures. In addition, the target genomic DNA derived from Escherichia coli (E. coli) was sensitively determined down to 10 copies with high selectivity. Conclusion: Importantly, the use of PGM as a detection component enables its direct application in POC settings. Based on the meritorious features of PGM such as rapidity, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness, we expect that the devised system could serve as a core platform for the on-site read-out of PCR amplification.

Abstract
There is a growing demand for high-performance point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies where in vitro diagnostics (IVD) is fundamental for prevention, identification, and treatment of many diseases. Over the past decade, a shift of IVDs from the centralized laboratories to POC settings is emerging. In this review, we summarize recent progress in translating IVDs from centralized labs to POC settings using commercially available handheld meters. After introducing typical workflows for IVDs and highlight innovative technologies in this area, we discuss advantages of using commercially available handheld meters for translating IVDs from centralized labs to POC settings. We then provide comprehensive coverage of different signal transduction strategies to repurpose the commercially-available handheld meters, including personal glucose meter, pH meter, thermometer and pressure meter, for detecting a wide range of targets by integrating biochemical assays with the meters for POC testing. Finally, we identify remaining challenges and offer future outlook in this area.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and nanomaterial based electrochemical biosensors (ECBs) have achieved great development in many fields, such as clinical diagnosis, food analysis, and environmental monitoring. Nowadays, the single-handed pursuit of sensitivity and accuracy cannot meet the demands of detection in many in situ and point-of-care (POC) circumstances. More and more attention has been focused on simplifying the operation procedure and reducing detection time, and thus no-wash assay has become one of the most effective ways for the continuous development of ECBs. However, there are many challenges to realize no-wash detection in the real analysis, such as redox interferences, multiple impurities, non-conducting protein macromolecules, etc. Furthermore, the complex detection circumstance in different application fields makes the realization of no-wash ECBs more complicated and difficult. Thanks to the updated nanotechnology and nanomaterials, in-depth analysis of the obstacles in the detection process and various methods for fabricating no-wash ECBs, most issues have been largely resolved. In this review, we have systematically analyzed the nanomaterial based design strategy of the state-of-the-art no-wash ECBs in the past few years. Following that, we summarized the challenges in the detection process of no-wash ECBs and their applications in different fields. Finally, based on the summary and analysis in this review, we also evaluated and discussed future prospects from the design to the application of ECBs.

Label-free and washing-free alkaline phosphatase assay using a personal glucose meter. J Biol Eng 2019; 13:51.

Abstract
We herein describe a personal glucose meter (PGM)-based method for a label-free and washing-free determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, which relies on the cascade enzymatic reactions promoted by hexokinase and pyruvate kinase to couple ALP activity with the amount of glucose. In principle, the presence of target ALP scavenges on adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP), a phosphate source for hexokinase-catalyzed reactions, and thus suppresses the ensuing cascade enzymatic reactions. As a result, the initial high amount of glucose is maintained and the amount of glucose, which is proportional to ALP activity, is simply measured by a hand-held PGM. Based on this novel strategy, we successfully determined the ALP activity down to 8.9 U/L with the high selectivity. In addition, the diagnostic capability of this method was demonstrated by reliably assaying the ALP activity in non-diluted human blood without any pretreatment steps.

Abstract
A novel sensing platform for recognition and quantification of target microRNAs (miRNAs) was developed by combining an amylase-trapped DNA hydrogel, multicomponent nucleic acid enzymes (MNAzymes), and a portable glucometer (PGM) readout. First, the amylase was encapsulated inside the DNA hydrogel and physically separated from its substrate of amylose, which was in a solution outside the hydrogel. After addition of the target miRNA, the activity of the MNAzyme was restored, which cuts off the substrate linker strand. The active MNAzyme can catalytically act upon multiple substrate strands through diffusion, leading to the collapse of the hydrogel and the release of amylase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of amylose to produce a large amount of glucose and generate a high PGM signal. The smart usage of the PGM enables simple portable detection of miR-21, with a detection limit as low as 0.325 fmol. Additionally, through the simple rational design of the target-binding sensor arms, the amylase-trapped DNA hydrogel sensing platform was successfully applied in the detection of multiple endogenous miRNAs (including miR-21, miR-335, miR-155, and miR-122) extracted from HeLa cells, HepG2 cells, MCF-7 cells, and L02 cells.
