Abstract
Traditional DNA walkers face enormous challenges due to limited biostability and reaction kinetics. Herein, we designed a self-driven close-looped DNAzyme walker (cl-DW) with high structural biostability and catalytic activity that enabled rapid electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of pesticide residue acetamiprid. Specifically, cl-DW exhibited increasing ability to resist nuclease degradation with a 570-fold longer half-degradation time than that of the single-stranded DNAzyme walker (ss-DW) due to the protected DNA terminal. Furthermore, cl-DW achieved high catalytic activity with a 4.3-fold faster reaction kinetic than that of ss-DW due to the circularized nanostructure of an available catalytic domain. Consequently, we utilized cl-DW as a signal amplifier and tin-based sulfide (SnS2) nanoflowers as ECL emitters to construct an ECL aptasensor, which realized the sensitive detection of acetamiprid with a limit of detection of 0.85 nM. This work provides a reliable approach to exploring DNA walkers with high catalytic activity and better biostability for molecular monitoring.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) as an analytical technology with a perfect combination of electrochemistry and spectroscopy has received considerable attention in bioanalysis due to its high sensitivity and broad dynamic range. Given the selectivity of bio-recognition elements and the high sensitivity of the ECL analysis technique, ECL biosensors are powerful platforms for the sensitive detection of biomarkers, achieving the accurate prognosis and diagnosis of diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial biomarkers involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, whose aberrant expression is often related to serious diseases, especially cancers. ECL biosensors can fulfill the highly sensitive and selective requirements for accurate miRNA detection, prompting this review. The ECL mechanisms are initially introduced and subsequently categorize the ECL biosensors for miRNA detection in terms of the quenching agents. Furthermore, the work highlights the signal amplification strategies for enhancing ECL signal to improve the sensitivity of miRNA detection and finally concludes by looking at the challenges and opportunities in ECL biosensors for miRNA detection.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) self-assembled AuNPs/Ti3C2 MXene hydrogel (AuNPs/Ti3C2 MXH) nanocomposite was prepared for the fabrication of a novel microRNA-122 electrochemical biosensor. The 3D hydrogel structure was gelated from two-dimensional MXene nanosheets with the assistance of graphite oxide and ethylenediamine. MXene hydrogels supported the in situ formation of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) that predominantly exploring the (111) facet, and these AuNPs are utilized as carriers for hairpin DNA (hpDNA) probes, facilitating DNA hybridization. MXene acted as both a reductant and stabilizer, significantly improving the electrochemical signal. In addition, the conjugation of PAMAM dendrimer-encapsulated AuNPs and H-DNA worked as an ideal bridge to connect targets and efficient electrochemical tags, providing a high amplification efficiency for the sensing of microRNA-122. A linear relationship between the peak currents and the logarithm of the concentrations of microRNA-122 from 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 102 fM (I = 1.642 + 0.312 lgc, R2 = 0.9891), is obtained. The detection limit is 0.8 × 10-2 fM (S/N = 3). The average recovery for human serum detection ranged from 97.32 to 101.4% (RSD < 5%).

Abstract
Accurate monitoring of tetracycline (TC) residues in the environment is crucial for avoiding contaminant risk. Herein, a novel TC biosensor was facilely designed by integrating silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) into the porphyrin metal-organic matrix (Ag@AgPOM) as a bifunctional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) probe. Different from the step-by-step synthesis of the co-reaction accelerator and ECL emitter, the co-reaction accelerators Ag NPs were in situ-grown on the surface of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) via a simple one-pot approach. Symbiotic Ag NPs on Ag@AgPOM formed an intimate interface and increased the collision efficiency of the ECL reaction, achieving the ECL enhancement of TCPP. Under the optimized conditions, the ternary ECL biosensor showed a wide linear detection range toward TC with a low detection limit of 0.14 fmol L-1. Compared with the traditional HPLC and ELISA methods, satisfied analytical adaptability made this sensing strategy feasible to monitor TC in complex environmental samples.

Abstract
This study aimed to design a sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor with double co-reaction accelerators for sensitively detecting squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA). First, silver orthophosphate (Ag3PO4) nanoparticles were modified on the surface of EuPO4 nanowires to improve their poor dispersibility/solubility. At the same time, EuPO4 was used as a co-reaction accelerator to catalyze S2O82- to produce more intermediates (SO4•-), significantly enhancing the ECL signal of Ag3PO4. Ag nanoparticles (AgNP) modified on Ag3PO4@EuPO4 composite nanomaterials were used not only as linkers of luminescence groups and biomarkers but also as a co-reaction accelerator to effectively enhance ECL signal. The designed ECL immunosensor displayed several advantages, including good stability and reproducibility. Under the optimal conditions, its linear range in detecting SCCA was 0.0001-50 ng·mL-1, the detection limit was 25 fg·mL-1 (S/N = 3), the recovery was 96.6-100.4%, and the relative standard deviation was less than 4.8%. It was successfully applied to detect SCCA in human serum.

Abstract
A novel sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (AIECL-RET) was designed for the sensitive detection of amyloid β42 (Aβ42). The synthesized silver nanoparticle-functionalized zinc metal-organic framework (Ag@ZnPTC) and gold nanoparticle-functionalized zirconium organic framework (Au@UiO-66-NH2) were used as the ECL donor and acceptor, respectively. AgNPs were generated in situ on the surface of ZnPTC, which further improved the ECL intensity and the loading of antibody 1 (Ab1). Under the optimized experimental conditions, the linear detection range of Aβ42 concentration was 10 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, and the detection limit was 2.4 fg/mL (S/N = 3). The recoveries of Aβ42 were 99.5-104%. The method has good stability, repeatability, and specificity. Ag@ZnPTC/Au@UiO-66-NH2 provides an assay for the sensitive detection of disease biomarkers.

Abstract
The family of electrochemiluminescent luminophores has witnessed quick development since the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) phenomenon of silicon nanoparticles was first reported in 2002. Moreover, these developed ECL nanoemitters have extensively been applied in sensitive detection of protein biomarker by combining with immunological recognition. This review firstly summarized the origin and development of various ECL nanoemitters including inorganic and organic nanomaterials, with an emphasis on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based ECL nanoemitters. Several effective strategies to amplify the ECL response of nanoemitters and improve the sensitivity of immunosensing were discussed. The application of ECL nanoemitters in immunoassay of protein biomarkers for diagnosis of cancers and other diseases, especially lung cancer and heart diseases, was comprehensively presented.

Abstract
Nanoconfinement in mesoporous nanoarchitectures could dramatically change molecular transport and reaction kinetics during electrochemical process. A molecular-level understanding of nanoconfinement and mass transport is critical for the applications, but a proper route to study it is lacking. Herein, we develop a single nanoreactor electrochemiluminescence (SNECL) microscopy based on Ru(bpy)3 2+ -loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticle to directly visualize in situ nanoconfinement-enhanced electrochemical reactions at the single molecule level. Meanwhile, mass transport capability of single nanoreactor, reflected as long decay time and recovery ability, is monitored and simulated with a high spatial resolution. The nanoconfinement effects in our system also enable imaging single proteins on cellular membrane. Our SNECL approach may pave the way to decipher the nanoconfinement effects during electrochemical process, and build bridges between mesoporous nanoarchitectures and potential electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Herein, an exogenous luminophore-free and disposable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was established for rapid response of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using programmable Y-shaped probes (Y-probes) with proximity bivalent recognition. Specifically, the indium tin oxide thin film coated glass electrode (ITO) was modified with urchin-like porous TiO2 microspheres (pTiO2 MSs), which could achieve strong and stable ECL in S2O82- solution due to the dual promoting effect of the coreaction accelerator pTiO2 MSs, exhibiting 2.7-fold higher ECL intensity in comparison with that of bare ITO. Moreover, the Y-probes as bivalent recognition elements containing two kinds of cardiac troponin I (cTnI, a biomarker of AMI) aptamers and a linker labeled with ferrocene (L-Fc) were designed to export a "signal off" mode. When the target cTnI was in the proximity of the Y-probes, the L-Fc was separated from the electrode surface due to the proximity recognition of cTnI and its aptamers, achieving the highly effective recovery of ECL, which allowed for a much more rapid detection of cTnI than the sandwich-type immunoassay. As a proof of concept, an exogenous luminophore-free and disposable ECL platform for rapid and sensitive monitoring of cTnI was obtained and displayed a desired linear range from 100 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 30.1 fg mL-1, which can be ingeniously expanded as a portable home tester with ECL biosensors developments.

Abstract
Total organic carbon (TOC) is a valuable indicator to evaluate the degree of organic pollution in wastewater. Real-time analysis of TOC in wastewater can allow the wastewater treatment plants to manage the treatment process efficiently, avoid violations of the discharge regulations, and eliminate overtreatment. However, traditional methods for TOC determination are time-consuming. Benefitting from the rapid generation of SO4•- in the iron(II)-activated peroxymonosulfate (Fe(II)/PMS) system and the high reactivity of SO4•- towards naproxen as a chemiluminescence (CL) probe, a surrogate for TOC based on the determination of CL quenching capacity (CLQC) of organics in the Fe(II)/PMS-naproxen system was developed. According to the derived equation by considering both non-fluorescent and fluorescent quenching, the CLQC of organics in the Fe(II)/PMS-naproxen system was highly dependent on their TOC, making it to be a potential surrogate for TOC. The interferences of ubiquitous inorganic ions in wastewater on the determination of CLQC were leveled by adjusting electrical conductivity and adding mercury ions. Finally, the feasibility of CLQC as a surrogate for TOC in two real wastewaters containing different concentrations of inorganic anions was confirmed. This work can provide a TOC value within several seconds by determining the CLQC of wastewater with Fe(II)/PMS-naproxen system.

[PMID: 36001932 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Iridium(III) complexes have been developed as eminent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores, but their current applications are only limited to anodic ECL emission because of weak cathodic ECL emission. This work explored poly(styrene-co-maleicanhydride) (PSMA) as functional reagent to modulate iridium(III) complexes to simultaneously emit bipolar ECL signals. The prepared iridium(III) nanorods (Ir NRs) were detected strong bipolar ECL emissions at +0.9 V and -2.0 V with N,N-diisopropylethylenediamine (DPEA) and persulfate (S2O82-) as coreactant, respectively. Meanwhile, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were developed as dual-regulating coreaction accelerator to boost the bipolar emissions of Ir NRs simultaneously. The dual-emitting Ir NRs coupled with dual-regulating coreaction accelerator Ag NPs facilitated the construction of mono-luminophore-based ECL ratio strategy for detecting amyloid-β oligomers (AβO). When the target AβO appeared, the Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme-powered biped walkers were unlocked to cleave single-stranded S1 immobilized on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs), resulting in the production of massive single-stranded ST. Then, the output ST cleaved hairpin H1 captured by Ir NRs modified electrode to produce numerous single strands, which could initiate the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) between Ag NPs-labeled H2 and Ag NPs-labeled H3 to introduce abundant Ag NPs onto the electrode surface. Due to the enhancement effect of Ag NPs on the bipolar ECL emissions from Ir NRs, the ECL ratio detection of AβO was achieved with the detection limit of 0.62 pM. The unique dual-emitting properties of Ir NRs coupled with dual-regulating effect of Ag NPs provided an interesting mono-luminophore-based ECL ratio sensing platform for biological analysis.

Abstract
Recently, ternary electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system has become a hot research topic due to its great potential for improving ECL efficiency by promoting the generation of intermediates. However, it is still a great challenge to increase the utilization rate of intermediates in a ternary ECL system. Herein, we propose a strategy to increase the utilization rate of intermediates by designing pyrenecarboxaldehyde (Pyc) encapsulated porous titania (pTiO2) nanospheres (Pyc@pTiO2) as ECL nanoreactors for an integrated ternary (luminophore/coreactant/co-reaction accelerator, Pyc/S2O82-/TiO2) ECL system construction. Specifically, pTiO2 acted as an ECL co-reaction accelerator, in which Pyc could obtain electrons from the conduction band of TiO2 to produce more SO4˙-, increasing its emissions. Simultaneously, pTiO2 could provide confined reaction spaces to effectively shorten the diffusion distance, extend the lifetime of free radicals, increase the utilization rate of intermediates and improve the efficiency of the ternary ECL system. As a proof of concept, the Pyc@pTiO2 nanoreactors-based sensing platform was successfully constructed to sensitively monitor cellular GSH levels. Overall, this work for the first time proposed an avenue to increase the utilization rate of intermediates in a ternary ECL system, which opened a new route for ECL biosensing in cell analysis applications.

Abstract
Electroluminescence (ECL) has been used in extensive applications ranging from bioanalysis to clinical diagnosis owing to its simple device requirement, low background, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range. Nucleic acid is a significant theme in ECL bioanalysis. The inherent versatile selective molecular recognition of nucleic acids and their programmable self-assembly make it desirable for the robust construction of nanostructures. Benefiting from their unique structures and physiochemical properties, ECL biosensing based on nucleic acids has experienced rapid growth. This review focuses on recent applications of nucleic acids in ECL sensing systems, particularly concerning the employment of nucleic acids as molecular recognition elements, signal amplification units, and sensing interface schemes. In the end, an outlook of nucleic acid-based ECL biosensing will be provided for future developments and directions. We envision that nucleic acids, which act as an essential component for both bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis, will provide a new thinking model and driving force for developing next-generation sensing systems.

Abstract
Herein, a highly selective and sensitive "OFF-ON" fluorescent biosensor was designed for intracellular Cu2+ detection. Compared to the fluorescent Cu2+ biosensors reported so far, this work tackled the tricky issue of reliability of Cu2+, which mainly depends on the integration of the high selectivity of the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction with the ultrahigh sensitivity of a spherical nucleic acid-based 3D DNA walker. Typically, DNA track is carried out by coconjugating N3-S1 and Cy3-HP onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). On this state, fluorophore (Cy3) was close to the surface of AuNPs (as a nanoquencher), generating a quenched fluorescence and thus causing the initial "OFF" state. In the presence of Cu2+ and H2C2-swing arm, Cu+ was in situ generated quickly from the reduction of Cu2+ with the assistance of ascorbic acid, which could promptly and selectively trigger the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction-based 3D DNA walker between azide on N3-S1 and alkyne on the H2C2-swing arm. Sequentially, the activated H2C2-swing arm was able to hybridize with adjacent Cy3-HP and the 3D DNA walker was automatically driven by N.BstNBI to produce multiple Cy3-labeled DNA fragments away from the AuNP surface for signal amplification, performing a recovered fluorescence response (turning into the "ON" state). Accordingly, the ingenious integration of an efficient click reaction and smart 3D DNA walker endows the constructed fluorescent biosensor with superior selectivity and ultrahigh sensitivity. We further apply this platform for Cu2+ sensing in biological systems; this assay will provide a signal transduction strategy for evaluating intracellular Cu2+ at picomolar levels.

Abstract
This paper introduces a novel potential-resolved paper-based biosensor for simultaneous detection of multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) (taking miRNA-155 and miRNA-126 as examples) based on the bipolar electrode (BPE) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) strategy. The proposed multiple-channel paper-based sensing microfluidic platform was prepared by wax-printing technology, screen-printing method, and in situ Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) growth to form hydrophilic areas, hydrophobic boundaries, waterproof electronic bridge, driving electrode regions, and parallel bipolar electrode regions. CdTe quantum dots (QDs)-H2 and Au@g-C3N4 nanosheets (NSs)-DNA1 were used as dual electrochemiluminescence signal probes, and carboxylated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles existed as carriers. CdTe QDs-H2/S2O82- and Au@g-C3N4 NSs-DNA1/S2O82- could exhibit two strong and stable ECL emissions at a drive voltage of 9 and 12 V, respectively, which can be used as effective potential-resolved signal tags. In addition, the proposed three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanomachine model and the target miRNA cycle strategy were used to achieve double amplification of electrochemiluminescence intensity. More importantly, the combination of the bipolar electrode system and the potential-resolved multitarget electrochemiluminescence method can greatly reduce the spatial interference between substances. The prepared ECL biosensor showed a favorable linear response for the detection of miRNA-155 and miRNA-126 with relatively low detection limits of 5.7 and 4.2 fM, respectively. With excellent sensitivity, the strategy may provide an efficient method for clinical application, especially in detection of trace multiple targets.

Abstract
Developing low-cost and efficient methods to enhance the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity of luminophores is highly desirable and challenging. Herein, we develop a synergistic promotion strategy based on three types of co-reaction accelerators to achieve an efficient SnO2 quantum dots (SnO2 QDs)-based ternary ECL system. Specifically, the MnO2 nanoflowers (MnO2 NFs), Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and hemin/G-quadruplex were rationally selected as co-reaction accelerators. Owing to the synergistic effect, the deft integration of three types of co-reaction accelerators enabled better structural stability, more exposed catalytic active sites, and faster charge transfer, thus more effectively facilitating the reduction of co-reactant (S2O82-) compared with that of the single co-reaction accelerator. To demonstrate the practical utility of this principle, an "on-off-super on" ECL biosensor was constructed in combination with a 3D DNA walker, which showed a superior linear range (10 aM-100 pM) and a low detection limit (2.9 aM) for the highly-sensitive miRNA-21 detection. In general, this work firstly reported that three types of co-reaction accelerators were deftly integrated to remarkably amplify the ECL emission of SnO2 QDs, and provided brand-new perspectives for research on the ingenious design of the structure and component of highly efficient co-reaction accelerators.

Abstract
A paper-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor characterized by the signal amplification of reticular DNA-functionalized PtCu nanoframes (DNA-PtCuTNFs) and analyte-triggered DNA walker was developed for sensitive streptavidin assay. Silver microflower functionalized paper-based sensing platform was prepared to fix the hairpin strand (S1). With addition of the streptavidin, plenty of DNA walkers consisting of the walking strands (S2) labeled with biotin and streptavidin were established, which protected S2 from digestion via the terminal protection mechanism. The sequential introduction of the DNA walker and capture probe initiated the hairpin structure opening of S1 and strand displacement reaction (SDR) happening, causing the S2 release. Subsequently, S1 hybridized with S3. The free S2 further hybridized with adjacent S1 to trigger the next cycle. After multiple cycles, the DNA-PtCuTNFs, the fire-new signal enhancer, with remarkable peroxidase activity, were successfully attached onto the paper electrode via metal-catalyst-free click chemistry. Based on the SDR of the DNA walker and the catalysis of DNA-PtCuTNFs, a significantly boosted ECL signal of luminol was obtained. Under the optimal conditions, the developed sensor for streptavidin assay exhibited a low detection limit of 33.4 fM with a linear range from 0.1 pM to 0.1 μM. Graphical abstract.
