Abstract
Stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels have shown great potential in sensing applications due to their attractive properties such as programmable target responsiveness, excellent biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In contrast to the extensively developed DNA hydrogel sensing systems based on the stimuli-responsive hydrogel-to-solution phase transition of the hydrogel matrix, the quantitative sensing application of DNA hydrogels exhibiting smart shape deformations has rarely been explored. Moreover, bulk DNA hydrogel-based sensing systems also suffer from high material cost and slow response. Herein, free-standing bilayer polyacrylamide/DNA hybrid hydrogel films with programmable responsive properties directed by the sequence of functional DNA units have been constructed. Compared with bulk DNA hydrogels, these DNA hydrogel films with a thickness at the micrometer scale not only greatly reduce the consumption of DNA materials but also facilitate the mass transfer of biomacromolecular substances within the hydrogel network, thus favoring their sensing applications. Therefore, a target-responsive smart DNA hydrogel film-based sensor system is further demonstrated based on the large amplitude macroscopic shape deformation of the film as a visual signal readout. As a proof of concept, Pb2+ or UO22+ ion-responsive DNA units were introduced into the active layer of the bilayer hydrogel films. In the presence of Pb2+ or UO22+ ions, the occurrence of a cleavage reaction within the DNA units leads to the release of DNA segments from the hydrogel film, inducing a dramatic shape deformation of the film, and thus sensing of Pb2+ or UO22+ ions with high specificity is achieved based on measuring the bending angle changes of these smart free-standing films. These smart DNA hydrogel film sensors with target-programmable responsiveness, simple operation, and ease of storage may hold promise for future rapid on-site testing applications.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) universally exists in all living organisms and holds a paramount role as a fundamental energy molecule in daily life. The abnormal concentration of ATP is closely related to many diseases, making the highly efficient detection of ATP very urgent. In this study, a dual-mode sensing system was developed to detect ATP sensitively and selectively via both DPV and fluorescence (FL) techniques, based on the strong interaction of ATP and Zn (II) nodes of zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90). The disassembly of ZIF-90 further induced the subsequent release of pre-loaded rhodamine B (RhB). Benefitting from the robust host-guest recognition of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) towards RhB, an enzyme-free and highly specific DPV detection strategy was established with the linear detecting range of 10.0-1.0 × 108 pM and the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.13 pM. Meanwhile, the FL sensing mode based on RhB exhibits comparable sensing performance with the linearity range of 10.0-1.0 × 107 pM and the LOD of 0.29 pM. Furthermore, the enzyme-free ATP sensing system exhibit outstanding long-term storage stability. The two-mode sensing platform was successfully applied to detect the ATP in human serum samples with the yielded result highly agree with the results of commercial ELISA kits. This dual-mode sensing platform is inspiring and paves the road for developing high-performance biosensor, demonstrating enormous potential for vitro diagnosis and practice clinic.

An intelligent "chemical tongue" for high-order monitoring ATP-related physiological phosphates and ATP hydrolysis through diverse transduction principles. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 241:115691. [PMID: 37738803 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115691] [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: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
For discriminating diverse analytes and monitoring a specific chemical reaction, the emerging multi-channel "chemical nose/tongue" is challenging multi-material "chemical nose/tongue". The former contributes greatly to integrating different transduction principles from a single sensing material, avoiding the need for complex design, high cost, and tedious operation involved with the latter. Therefore, this high-order sensing puts a particular emphasis on the effects of encapsulation. Herein, the plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are encapsulated as a core into the fluorescent guanine monophosphate-Tb3+ infinite coordination polymer nanoparticles (GMP-Tb ICPs) to obtain a core-shell nanocomposite named Au NPs@GMP-Tb ICPs. Hence, a dual-channel "chemical tongue" based on Au NPs@GMP-Tb ICPs is present to realize high-order sensing of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-related physiological phosphates and the monitoring of ATP hydrolysis. Considering the affinity of Tb3+ towards P-O bonds, four inorganic phosphates and three nucleotide phosphates with different phosphate group numbers and steric hindrance effect directly regulate two stimulus responses (fluorescence intensity and UV-vis absorbance) of Au NPs@GMP-Tb ICPs. Robust statistical methods, such as linear discriminant analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis, are used to recognize each phosphate by the developed sensor array either in the aqueous solution or in complex media such as serum, together with efficiently monitored ATP hydrolysis at different intervals. These findings and blind test clarify that the designed "chemical tongue" guarantees interference resistance and strengthens analytical capacity, together with offering valuable insight into "lab-on-a-nanoparticle" development for monitoring specific chemical reactions.

Abstract
DNA hydrogels play an increasingly important role in biomedicine and bioanalysis applications. Due to their high programmability, multifunctionality and biocompatibility, they are often used as effective carriers for packing drugs, cells, or other bioactive cargoes in vitro and in vivo. However, the stability of the DNA hydrogels prevents their in-demand rapid release of cargoes to achieve a full therapeutic effect in time. For bioanalysis, the generation of signals sometimes needs the DNA hydrogel to be rapidly degraded when sensing target molecules. To meet these requirements, stimulus-responsive DNA hydrogels are designed. By responding to different stimuli, self-degradable DNA hydrogels can switch from gel to solution for quantitative bioanalysis and precision cargo delivery. This review summarizes the recently developed innovative methods for designing stimuli-responsive self-degradable DNA hydrogels and showed their applications in the bioanalysis and biomedicines fields. Challenges, as well as prospects, are also discussed.
