Food Chem 2024; 458:140306. [PMID: 38968710 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140306] [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: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
This study focused on detecting streptomycin (STR) residues using a luminescent aptasensor encapsulated with aptamer. Utilizing MOF-74-Co with peroxidase-like activity, luminol was enclosed in its pores. The specific STR aptamer acted as a gatekeeper, ensuring excellent performance. Upon exposure to STR, the aptamers detached, releasing luminol and amplifying the luminescent signal through MOF-74-Co catalytic activity. A linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and STR concentration (50 nM ∼ 5 × 106 nM) was established, with a limit of detection of 0.065 nM. The sensor exhibited high selectivity for STR even in the presence of other aminoglycoside antibiotics. Applied to tea, egg, and honey samples, the sensor showed recovery rates of 91.38-100.2%, meeting safety standards. This MOF-based aptasensor shows promise for detecting harmful residues.

Abstract
This study investigates the role of alkali cations in modulating the interaction between deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Thioflavin T (ThT) in dilute and condensed phases. The emission characteristics of ThT were analyzed in the presence of double-stranded DNA and G-quadruplex structures with a focus on the effects of four cations: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The ThT emission in double-stranded DNA was influenced by direct DNA binding and steric hindrance within the hydration shell of DNA, which was modulated by the presence of alkali cations. Lasing spectroscopy experiments further highlighted ThT sensitivity to the spatial arrangement of water molecules in the DNA hydration shell. Lasing was exclusively observed in the presence of Mg2+ in the G-quadruplex structure, suggesting that the parallel propeller configuration of G4 provides an optimal environment for ThT light amplification. This study highlights the critical role of cations in DNA-dye interactions and reaffirms the significance of ThT in biophysical studies.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been involved in many biological processes and are regarded as promising biomarkers. The short sequence, low abundance and highly homologous interference sequences greatly hinder the accurate detection of miRNAs. Here, a cascade branch migration-triggered strand displacement amplification (CBM-TSDA) strategy was developed for the first time for specific and sensitive detection of miRNA-155 (miR-155). In the presence of target miR-155, the CBM was initiated and two Y-shaped probes were eventually produced. Next, the Y-shaped probes were transformed into three-way junction (3WJ) structures and triggered the SDA to produce a large number of G-quadruplex (G4) structures. Finally, the increased fluorescence signal of G4/Thioflavin T (ThT) was used to quantify miR-155. Meanwhile, the colorimetric responses of the G4-hemin DNAzyme could be used as supplementary detection to obtain a dual-mode signal readout. This detection strategy showed high detection sensitivity, and the limit of detection was 0.28 pM in the fluorescence detection mode and 0.34 pM in the colorimetric detection mode. Notably, it showed high detection specificity, being able to discriminate the single-base mutations of the target with a high discrimination factor. The strategy also possessed excellent capacity for miR-155 detection in cell lysates and real human blood samples. The developed strategy provides a promising detection platform for miRNA, which may be applied to early clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work, a novel sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor based on the dual signal amplification strategy of hemin/G-quadruplex and AuNPs-MoS2 was designed and constructed, which realized the highly sensitive and specific detection of thrombin (TB). In this aptasensor, the 15-mer TB-binding aptamer (TBA-1) modified with thiol group was immobilized on the surface of AuNPs modified glassy carbon electrode (AuNPs/GCE) as capturing elements. Another thiol-modified 29-mer TB-binding aptamer (TBA-2) sequence containing G-quadruplex structure for hemin immobilization was designed. The formed hemin/G-quadruplex/TBA-2 sequence was further combined to the AuNPs decorated flower-like molybdenum disulfide (AuNPs-MoS2) composite surface via Au-S bonds, acting the role of reporter probe. In presence of the target TB, the sandwich-type electrochemical aptamer detection system could be formed properly. With the assistance of the dual signal amplification of AuNPs-MoS2 and hemin/G-quadruplex toward H2O2 reduction, the sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor was successfully constructed for sensitive detection of TB. The results demonstrate that the fabricated aptasensor displays a wide linear range of 1.0 × 10-6 ∼ 10.0 nM with a low detection limit of 0.34 fM. This proposed aptasensor shows potential application in the detection of TB content in real biological samples with high sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability.

Abstract
Quadruplex-duplex (QD) junctions, which represent unique structural motifs of both biological and technological significance, have been shown to constitute high-affinity binding sites for various ligands. A QD hybrid construct based on a human telomeric sequence, which harbors a duplex stem-loop in place of a short lateral loop, is structurally characterized by NMR. It folds into two major species with a (3+1) hybrid and a chair-type (2+2) antiparallel quadruplex domain coexisting in a K+ buffer solution. The antiparallel species is stabilized by an unusual capping structure involving a thymine and protonated adenine base AH+ of the lateral loop facing the hairpin duplex to form a T·AH+·G·C quartet with the interfacial G·C base pair at neutral pH. Addition and binding of Phen-DC3 to the QD hybrid mixture by its partial intercalation at corresponding QD junctions leads to a topological transition with exclusive formation of the (3+1) hybrid fold. In agreement with the available experimental data, such an unprecedented discrimination of QD junctions by a ligand can be rationalized following an induced fit mechanism.

Abstract
Solvatochromes have gained great attention because of their unique roles in monitoring biomolecular location, interaction, and dynamics. Particularly, solvatochromes presenting both red-shifting excitation and dual-band switchable emission are in great demand yet significantly difficult to come true. In this article, we disclose an aromatic alcohol-based pH-sensitive chromophore NIR-HBT that not only presents red-shifting excitation and solvent-dependent dual-band emission but also shows high photostability and excellent brightness. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first solvatochrome to simultaneously display these optical properties. Especially, in contrast to the reported dual-band solvatochromes whose solvatochromism is achieved by affecting their excited state behaviors, the solvatochromism of NIR-HBT is realized by modulating its ground state proton dissociation, which is a new solvatochromic mechanism that has not been reported. Furthermore, based on the dual-band solvatochromism of NIR-HBT and its intrinsic binding ability to GQs, near-infrared ratiometric detection of GQs is achieved. These results indicate that NIR-HBT is an attractive solvatochrome that can be used to develop near-infrared ratiometric biosensors for biological research. More broadly, the discovered solvatochromic mechanism can also open new horizons for exploring the solvatochrome.

Abstract
Fluorescent DNA nanosensors have been widely used due to their unique advantages, among which the near-infrared (NIR) imaging mode can provide deeper penetration depth and lower biological background for the nanosensors. However, efficient NIR quenchers require ingenious design, complex synthesis, and modification, which severely limit the development of NIR DNA nanosensors. Label-free strategies based on G-quadruplex (G4) and NIR G4 dyes were first introduced into in situ extracellular imaging, and a novel NIR sensing strategy for the specific detection of extracellular targets is proposed. The strategy avoids complex synthesis and site-specific modification by controlling the change of the NIR signal through the formation of a G4 nanostructure. A light-up NIR DNA nanosensor based on potassium ion (K+)-sensitive G4 chain PS2.M was constructed to verify the strategy. PS2.M forms a stable G4 nanostructure in the presence of K+ and activates the NIR G4 dye CSTS, thus outputting NIR signals. The nanosensor can rapidly respond to K+ with a linear range of 5-50 mM and has good resistance to interference. The nanosensor with cholesterol can provide feedback on the changes in extracellular K+ concentration in many kinds of cells, serving as a potential tool for the study of diseases such as epilepsy and cancer, as well as the development of related drugs. The strategy can be potentially applied to the NIR detection of a variety of extracellular targets with the help of functional DNAs such as aptamer and DNAzyme.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of G-quadruplexes has increased significantly with the growing understanding of their functional roles in pathogens apart from human diseases such as cancer. Here, we report the synthesis of three julolidine-based molecules and their binding to nucleic acids. Among the synthesized molecules, compound 1 exhibited red emissive fluorescence with a distinct preference for Pu22 G-quadruplex. The binding of compound 1 to Pu22 G-quadruplex, initially identified through a fluorescence-based screening, was further confirmed by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism-based experiments. Thermal denaturation of compound 1 in the presence of Pu22 G-quadruplex revealed a concentration-dependent stabilization (~10.0 °C at 1 : 3 stoichiometry). Fluorescence-based experiments revealed 1 : 1 stoichiometry of the interaction and an association constant (Ka ) of 5.67×106 M-1 . CD experiments displayed that the parallel conformation of the G-quadruplex was retained on compound 1's binding and signs of higher order binding/complex formation were observed at high compound 1 to DNA ratio. Molecular docking studies revealed the dominance of stacking and van der Waals interactions in the molecular recognition which was aided by some close-distance interactions involving the quinolinium nitrogen atom.

Abstract
The ability of guanine (G)-rich DNA to bind toxic lead (Pb2+) ions within a G-quadruplex (GQ) motif is a leading DNA biosensor strategy. A major analytical hurdle for GQ detection of Pb2+ is competitive GQ templating by potassium (K+) ions. We employ the on-strand DNA synthesis of internal fluorescent chalcone surrogates within the 15-mer thrombin binding aptamer (TBA15) to address this challenge. Replacement of thymidine at the 3-position (T3) within TBA15 with an indole-4-hydroxy-indanone (Ind4HI) chalcone strongly decreases K+-GQ stability while enhancing Pb2+-GQ stability to increase Pb2+ binding specificity. The new T3-Ind4HI probe exhibits a 15-fold increase in fluorescence intensity upon binding of Pb2+ by the modified TBA15 and can detect 6.4 nM Pb2+ in the presence of 10 mM K+. Thus, replacement of the T3 residue of TBA15 with the new Ind4HI probe modulates metal ion affinity by native TBA15 to solve the analytical challenge posed by K+ in real water samples for detecting Pb2+ to meet regulatory guidelines by using a GQ biosensor.

Abstract
Accurate information about interactions between group I metals and nucleic acids is required to understand the roles these metals play in basic cellular functions, disease progression, and pharmaceuticals, as well as to aid the design of new energy storage materials and nucleic acid sensors that target metal contaminants, among other applications. From this perspective, this work generates a complete CCSD(T)/CBS data set of the binding energies for 64 complexes involving each group I metal (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, or Cs+) directly coordinated to various sites in each nucleic acid component (A, C, G, T, U, or dimethylphosphate). This data have otherwise been challenging to determine experimentally, with highly accurate information missing for many group I metal-nucleic acid combinations and no data available for the (charged) phosphate moiety. Subsequently, the performance of 61 DFT methods in combination with def2-TZVPP is tested against the newly generated CCSD(T)/CBS reference values. Detailed analysis of the results reveals that functional performance is dependent on the identity of the metal (with increased errors as group I is descended) and nucleic acid binding site (with larger errors for select purine coordination sites). Over all complexes considered, the best methods include the mPW2-PLYP double-hybrid and ωB97M-V RSH functionals (≤1.6% MPE; <1.0 kcal/mol MUE). If more computationally efficient approaches are required, the TPSS and revTPSS local meta-GGA functionals are reasonable alternatives (≤2.0% MPE; <1.0 kcal/mol MUE). Inclusion of counterpoise corrections to account for basis set superposition error only marginally improves the computed binding energies, suggesting that these corrections can be neglected with little loss in accuracy when using larger models that are necessary for describing biosystems and biomaterials. Overall, the most accurate functionals identified in this study will permit future works geared towards uncovering the impact of group I metals on the environment and human biology, designing new ways to selectively sense harmful metals, engineering modern biomaterials, and developing improved computational methods to more broadly study group I metal-nucleic acid interactions.

Coordination-driven FBXW7 DNAzyme-Fe nanoassembly enables a binary switch of breast cancer cell cycle checkpoint responses for enhanced ferroptosis-radiotherapy. Acta Biomater 2023; 169:434-450. [PMID: 37516418 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.07.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2023]
Abstract
Radiotherapy is a mainstream modality for breast cancer treatment that employs ionizing radiation (IR) to damage tumor cell DNA and elevate ROS stress, which demonstrates multiple clinically-favorable advantages including localized treatment and low invasiveness. However, breast cancer cells may activate the p53-mediated cell cycle regulation in response to radiotherapy to repair IR-induced cellular damage and facilitate post-treatment survival. F-Box and WD Repeat Domain Containing 7 (FBXW7) is a promoter of p53 degradation and critical nexus of cell proliferation and survival events. Herein, we engineered a cooperative radio-ferroptosis-stimulatory nanomedicine through coordination-driven self-assembly between ferroptosis-inducing Fe2+ ions and FBXW7-inhibiting DNAzymes and further modification of tumor-targeting dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (HA). The nanoassembly could be selectively internalized by breast cancer cells and disintegrated in lysosomes to release the therapeutic payload. DNAzyme readily abolishes FBXW7 expression and stabilizes phosphorylated p53 to cause irreversible G2 phase arrest for amplifying post-IR tumor cell apoptosis. Meanwhile, the p53 stabilization also inhibits the SLC7A11-cystine-GSH axis, which combines with the IR-upregulated ROS levels to amplify Fe2+-mediated ferroptotic damage. The DNAzyme-Fe-HA nanoassembly could thus systematically boost the tumor cell damaging effects of IR, presenting a simple and effective approach to augment the response of breast cancer to radiotherapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To overcome the intrinsic radioresistance in breast cancer, we prepared co-assembly of Fe2+ and FBXW7-targeted DNAzymes and modified surface with dopamine conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA), which enabled tumor-specific FBXW7-targeted gene therapy and ferroptosis therapy in IR-treated breast cancers. The nanoassembly could be activated in acidic condition to release the therapeutic contents. Specifically, the DNAzymes could selectively degrade FBXW7 mRNA in breast cancer cells to simultaneously induce accumulation of p53 and retardation of NHEJ repair, eventually inducing irreversible cell cycle arrest to promote apoptosis. The p53 stabilization would also inhibit the SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 axis to enhance Fe2+ mediated ferroptosis. These merits could act in a cooperative manner to induce pronounced tumor inhibitory effect, offering new approaches for tumor radiosensitization in the clinics.

Abstract
The characteristics of DNA hybridization enable molecular computing through strand displacement reactions, facilitating the construction of complex DNA circuits, which is an important way to realize information interaction and processing at a molecular level. However, signal attenuation in the cascade and shunt process hinders the reliability of the calculation results and further expansion of the DNA circuit scale. Here, we demonstrate a novel programmable exonuclease-assisted signal transmission architecture, where DNA strand with toehold employed to inhibit the hydrolysis process of EXO λ is applied in DNA circuits. We construct a series circuit with variable resistance and a parallel circuit with constant current source, ensuring excellent orthogonal properties between input and output sequences while maintaining low leakage (<5%) during the reaction. Additionally, a simple and flexible exonuclease-driven reactant regeneration (EDRR) strategy is proposed and applied to construct parallel circuits with constant voltage sources that could amplify the output signal without extra DNA fuel strands or energy. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the EDRR strategy in reducing signal attenuation during cascade and shunt processes by constructing a four-node DNA circuit. These findings offer a new approach to enhance the reliability of molecular computing systems and expand the scale of DNA circuits in the future.

Abstract
Understanding the structure of metal-nucleic acid systems is important for many applications such as the design of new pharmaceuticals, metal detection platforms, and nanomaterials. Herein, we explore the ability of 20 density functional theory (DFT) functionals to reproduce the crystal structure geometry of transition and post-transition metal-nucleic acid complexes identified in the Protein Data Bank and Cambridge Structural Database. The environmental extremes of the gas phase and implicit water were considered, and analysis focused on the global and inner coordination geometry, including the coordination distances. Although gas-phase calculations were unable to describe the structure of 12 out of the 53 complexes in our test set regardless of the DFT functional considered, accounting for the broader environment through implicit solvation or constraining the model truncation points to crystallographic coordinates generally afforded agreement with the experimental structure, suggesting that functional performance for these systems is likely due to the models rather than the methods. For the remaining 41 complexes, our results show that the reliability of functionals depends on the metal identity, with the magnitude of error varying across the periodic table. Furthermore, minimal changes in the geometries of these metal-nucleic acid complexes occur upon use of the Stuttgart-Dresden effective core potential and/or inclusion of an implicit water environment. The overall top three performing functionals are ωB97X-V, ωB97X-D3(BJ), and MN15, which reliably describe the structure of a broad range of metal-nucleic acid systems. Other suitable functionals include MN15-L, which is a cheaper alternative to MN15, and PBEh-3c, which is commonly used in QM/MM calculations of biomolecules. In fact, these five methods were the only functionals tested to reproduce the coordination sphere of Cu2+-containing complexes. For metal-nucleic acid systems that do not contain Cu2+, ωB97X and ωB97X-D are also suitable choices. These top-performing methods can be utilized in future investigations of diverse metal-nucleic acid complexes of relevance to biology and material science.

Abstract
Excessive consumption of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) severely endangers human health and has raised public safety concerns. However, its quantification by readily rapid tools with simplicity and low cost is still challenging. Herein, we found that a G-rich THC aptamer (THC1.2) can tightly bind to thioflavin T (ThT) with strong fluorescence, which would be specifically quenched in the presence of THC. Based on that, a label-free ratiometric fluorescent sensor for the sensing of THC and its metabolite (THC-COOH) based on THC1.2/ThT as a color emitter and red CdTe quantum dots as reference fluorescence was constructed. Notably, a transition of the fluorescent color of the ratiometric probe from green to red can be instantly observed upon the increased concentration of THC and THC-COOH. Furthermore, a portable smartphone-based fluorescence device integrated with a self-programmed Python program was fabricated and used to accomplish on-site monitoring of THC and THC-COOH within 5 min. Under optimized conditions, this ratiometric fluorescent sensor allowed for an instant response toward THC and its metabolite with considerable limits of detection of 97 and 254 nM, respectively. The established sensor has been successfully applied to urine and saliva samples and exhibited satisfactory recoveries (88-116%). This ratiometric fluorescent sensor can be used for the simultaneous detection of THC and THC-COOH with the advantages of rapidness, low cost, ease of operation, and portability, providing a promising strategy for on-site detection and facilitating law enforcement regulation and roadside control of THC.

Abstract
A rhodamine hydrazide conjugating uridine moiety (RBH-U) is firstly synthesized by screening different synthetic routes, and then developed as a fluorescence probe for selective detection of Fe3+ ions in an aqueous solution, accompanied by visual color change with naked eyes. Upon the addition of Fe3+ in a 1:1 stoichiometry, a 9-fold enhancement in the fluorescence intensity of the RBH-U was observed with an emission wavelength of 580 nm. In the presence of other metal ions, the "turn-on" fluorescent probe with pH-independent (value 5.0 to 8.0) is remarkably specific for Fe3+ with a detection limit as low as 0.34 μM. Further, the enhanced fluorescence intensity of RBH-U- Fe3+ can be quenched as a switch-off sensor to assist in the recognition of Cu2+ ions. Additionally, the colocalization assay demonstrated that RBH-U containing uridine residue can be used as a novel mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe with rapid reaction time. Cytotoxicity and cell imaging of RBH-U probe in live NIH-3T3 cells suggest that it can be a potential candidate for clinical diagnosis and Fe3+ tracking toll for the biological system due to its biocompatibility and nontoxicity in NIH-3T3 cells even up to 100 μM.

Abstract
The formation of G-quadruplex structures (G4s) in vitro from guanine (G)-rich nucleic acid sequences of DNA and RNA stabilized with monovalent cations, typically K+ and Na+, under physiological conditions, has been verified experimentally and some of them have high-resolution NMR or X-ray crystal structures; however, the biofunction of these special noncanonical secondary structures of nucleic acids has not been fully understood and their existence in vivo is still controversial at present. It is generally believed that the folding and unfolding of G4s in vivo is a transient process. Accumulating evidence has shown that G4s may play a role in the regulation of certain important cellular functions including telomere maintenance, replication, transcription and translation. Therefore, both DNA and RNA G4s of human cancer hallmark genes are recognized as the potential anticancer drug target for the investigation in cancer biology, chemical biology and drug discovery. The relationship between the sequence, structure and stability of G4s, the interaction of G4s with small molecules, and insights into the rational design of G4-selective binding ligands have been intensively studied over the decade. At present, some G4-ligands have achieved a new milestone and successfully entered the human clinical trials for anticancer therapy. Over the past few decades, numerous efforts have been devoted to anticancer therapy; however, G4s for molecular recognition and live cell imaging and for application as antibacterial agents and antibiofilms against antibiotic resistance have been obviously underexplored. The recent advances in G4-ligands in these areas are thus selected and discussed concentratedly in this article in order to shed light on the emerging role of G4s in chemical biology and therapeutic prospects against bacterial infections. In addition, the recently published molecular scaffolds for designing small ligands selectively targeting G4s in live cell imaging, bacterial biofilm imaging, and antibacterial studies are discussed. Furthermore, a number of underexplored G4-targets from the cytoplasmic membrane-associated DNA, the conserved promoter region of K. pneumoniae genomes, the RNA G4-sites in the transcriptome of E. coli and P. aeruginosa, and the mRNA G4-sites in the sequence for coding the vital bacterial FtsZ protein are highlighted to further explore in G4-drug development against human diseases.
