Metal-organic framework-based aptasensor utilizing a novel electrochemiluminescence system for detecting acetamiprid residues in vegetables. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 259:116371. [PMID: 38761742 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116371] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
The work was based on N-(4-Aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI)-functionalized Fe-MIL-101 and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as sensing materials, and an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor was constructed for detecting acetamiprid. As a metal-organic framework (MOF) material, Fe-MIL-101, was renowned for its unique three-dimensional network structure and efficient catalytic capability. ABEI, a common ECL reagent, was widely applied. ABEI was introduced into the Fe-MIL-101 structure as a luminescence functionalization reagent to form Fe-MIL-101@ABEI. This approach avoided limitations on the loading capacity of luminescent reagents imposed by modification and encapsulation methods. With character of excellent catalytic activity and ease of bioconjugation, AuNPs offered significant advantages in biosensing. Leveraging the reductive properties of ABEI, AuNPs were reduced around Fe-MIL-101@ABEI, resulting in the modified luminescent functionalized material denoted as Fe-MIL-101@ABEI@AuNPs. An aptamer was employed as a recognition element and was modified accordingly. The aptamer was immobilized on Fe-MIL-101@ABEI@AuNPs through gold-sulfur (Au-S) bonds. After capturing acetamiprid, the aptamer induced a decrease in the ECL signal intensity within the ABEI-hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system, enabling the quantitative detection of acetamiprid. The aptasensor displayed remarkable stability and repeatability, featured a detection range of 1×10-3-1×102 nM, and had a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.3 pM (S/N=3), which underscored its substantial practical application potential.

Abstract
The development of luminol-dissolved O2 (luminol-DO) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems is crucial for real-world applications. Despite its stability and low biotoxicity, luminol-DO ECL systems struggle with low ECL performance due to their low reactivity. Investigating new materials like coreactant accelerators increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and enhances luminol-DO ECL intensity. Motivated by the ROS-mediated ECL process, for the first time, we designed oxygen vacancy (OV)-rich high-entropy oxides (HEO) with five metal components [(FeCoNiCuZn)O] derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as coreaction accelerators to establish efficient luminol-DO ECL systems. High entropy (HE) MOFs were annealed at four different temperatures (600, 700, 800, and 900 °C). Indeed, the HE MOFs annealed at 800 °C (HEO-800) showed a 120-fold stronger ECL intensity compared to the bare glassy carbon electrode in the luminol-DO ECL system. The enhanced ECL performance can be attributed to the porous structure, unique morphology, heterostructures, high-density active sites, rich OV, unsaturated metals, and synergistic impact, which act as catalysts to accelerate the conversion of DO to ROS. The developed HEO-800-based luminol-DO ECL system can be effectively used for the high-sensitivity detection of mercury ions (Hg2+). The system detected Hg2+ over a wide concentration range from 0.1 nM to 100 μM, with a detection limit of 0.02 nM. The sensing mechanism relied on high-affinity metallophilic Hg2+-HEO-800 interactions, effectively quenching the ECL intensity of the luminol-DO/HEO-800 ECL system. The ECL sensing platform, developed without H2O2, offers a novel method for detecting substances, demonstrating significant potential for clinical diagnosis and biomarker analysis.

Abstract
In this study, a novel europium dual-ligand metal-organic gel (Eu-D-MOGs) with high-efficient anodic annihilation electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was synthesized as an ECL emitter to construct a biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-221 (miR-221). Impressively, compared to the ECL signal of europium single-ligand metal-organic gels (Eu-S-MOGs), the ECL signal of Eu-D-MOGs was significantly improved since the two organic ligands could jointly replace the H2O and coordinate with Eu3+, which could remarkably reduce the nonradiative vibrational energy transfer caused by the coordination between H2O and Eu3+ with a high coordination demand. In addition, Eu-D-MOGs could be electrochemically oxidized to Eu-D-MOGs•+ at 1.45 V and reduced to Eu-D-MOGs•- at 0.65 V to achieve effective annihilation of ECL, which overcame the side reaction brought by the remaining emitters at negative potential. This benefited from the annihilation ECL performance of the central ion Eu3+ caused by its redox in the electrochemical process. Furthermore, the annihilation ECL signal of Eu3+ could be improved by sensitizing Eu3+ via the antenna effect. In addition, combined with the improved rolling circle amplification-assisted strand displacement amplification strategy (RCA-SDA), a sensitive biosensor was constructed for the sensitive detection of miR-221 with a low detection limit of 5.12 aM and could be successfully applied for the detection of miR-221 in the lysate of cancer cells. This strategy offered a unique approach to synthesizing metal-organic gels as ECL emitters without a coreactant for the construction of ECL biosensing platforms in biomarker detection and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The inappropriate use of antibiotics undoubtedly poses a potential threat to public health, creating an increasing need to develop highly sensitive tests. In this study, we designed a new type of porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs) with homogeneous catalytic sites. The ferric-based metal ligands of Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs acted as co-reaction accelerators, which effectively improved the conversion efficiency of H2O2 on the surface of MOFs, then increased the concentration of •OH surrounding porphyrin molecules to achieve self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Based on this, an aptasensor for the specific detection of kanamycin (KAN) in food and environmental water samples was constructed in combination with resonance energy transform (RET), in which Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs were used as luminescence donor and AuNPs were used as acceptor. Under the best conditions, there was a good linear relationship between the ECL intensity and the logarithm of KAN concentration with a detection limit of 0.28 fM in the range of 1.0 × 10-7-1.0 × 10-13 M, demonstrating satisfactory selectivity and stability. At the same time, the complexity of the detection environment was reduced, which further realized the reliable analysis of KAN in milk, honey and pond water. Overall, this innovative self-enhanced ECL strategy provides a novel approach for constructing efficient ECL systems in MOFs, and also extends the application of MOFs to the analysis and detection of trace antibiotics in food and the environment.

Abstract
A spatial-potential-color-resolved bipolar electrode electrochemiluminescence biosensor (BPE-ECL) using a CuMoOx electrocatalyst was constructed for the simultaneous detection and imaging of tetracycline (TET) and lincomycin (LIN). HOF-101 emitted peacock blue light under positive potential scanning, and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) emitted green light under negative potential scanning. CuMoOx could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of H2O2 to greatly increase the Faradic current of BPE and realize the ECL signal amplification. In channel 1, CuMoOx-Aptamer II (TET) probes were introduced into the BPE hole (left groove A) by the dual aptamer sandwich method of TET. During positive potential scanning, the polarity of BPE (left groove A) was negative, resulting in the electrochemical reduction of H2O2 catalyzed by CuMoOx, and the ECL signal of HOF-101 was enhanced for detecting TET. In channel 2, CuMoOx-Aptamer (LIN) probes were adsorbed on the MXene of the driving electrode (DVE) hole (left groove B) by hydrogen-bonding and metal-chelating interactions. LIN bound with its aptamers, causing CuMoOx to fall off. During negative potential scanning, the polarity of DVE (left groove B) was negative and the Faradic current decreased. The ECL signal of CdSe QDs was reduced for detecting LIN. Furthermore, a portable mobile phone imaging platform was built for the colorimetric (CL) detection of TET and LIN. Thus, the multiple mode-resolved detection of TET and LIN could be realized simultaneously with only one potential scan, which greatly improved detection accuracy and efficiency. This study opened a new technology of BPE-ECL sensor application and is expected to shine in microchips and point-of-care testing (POCT).

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342091.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a significant glycosylated protein, and the unusual expression of CEA in human serum is used as a tumor marker in the clinical diagnosis of many cancers. Although scientists have reported many ways to detect CEA in recent years, such as electrochemistry, photoelectrochemistry, and fluorescence, their operation is complex and sensitivity is average. Therefore, finding a convenient method to accurately detect CEA is significance for the prevention of malignant tumors. With high sensitivity, quick reaction, and low background, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has emerged as an essential method for the detection of tumor markers in blood. RESULTS In this work, a "signal on-off" ECL immunosensor for sensitive analysis of CEA ground on the ternary extinction effects of CuFe2O4@PDA-MB towards a self-enhanced Ru(dcbpy)32+ functionalized metal-organic layer [(Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd] was prepared. The high ECL efficiency of (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd originated from the dual intramolecular self-catalysis, including intramolecular co-reaction between polyethylenimine (PEI) and Ru(dcbpy)32+. At the same time, loading Pd NPs onto (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI could not only improve the electron transfer ability of (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI, but also provide more active sites for the reaction of Ru(dcbpy)32+ and PEI. In the presence of CEA, CuFe2O4@PDA-MB-Ab2 efficiently quenches the excited states of (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd by PDA, Cu2+, and methylene blue (MB) via energy and electron transfer, leading to an ECL signal decrease. Under optimal conditions, the proposed CEA sensing strategy showed satisfactory properties ranging from 0.1 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 20 fg mL-1. SIGNIFICANCE The (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd and CuFe2O4@PDA-MB were prepared in this work might open up innovative directions to synthesize luminescence-functionalized MOLs and effective quencher. Besides, the ECL quenching mechanism of Ru(dcbpy)32+ by MB was successfully explained by the inner filter effect (ECL-IFE). At last, the proposed immunosensor exhibits excellent repeatability, stability, and selectivity, and may provide an attractive way for CEA and other disease markers determination.

Abstract
Using dissolved O2 as the cathodic co-reactant of three-dimensional (3D) g-C3N4 is a convenient method to improve the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal, but it still suffers the disadvantages of limited luminous efficiency of 3D g-C3N4 and low content, low reactivity, and instability of dissolved O2. Here, N vacancy with high density was first introduced into the structure of 3D g-C3N4 (3D g-C3N4-NV), which could conveniently realize multipath ECL improvement by simultaneously solving the above shortcomings effectively. Specifically, N vacancy could change the electronic structure of 3D g-C3N4 to broaden its band gap, increase fluorescence (FL) lifetime, and accelerate electron transfer rate, obviously improving the luminous efficiency of 3D g-C3N4. Meanwhile, N vacancy made the excitation potential of 3D g-C3N4-NV to shift from -1.3 to -0.6 V, effectively weakening the electrode passivation. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of 3D g-C3N4-NV was obviously enhanced, which could make the dissolved O2 enrich around 3D g-C3N4-NV. And massive active NV sites of 3D g-C3N4-NV could promote O2 to more efficiently convert to reactive oxygen species (ROS) that were key intermediates in ECL generation. Using the newly proposed 3D g-C3N4-NV-dissolved O2 system as an ECL emitter, an ultrasensitive target conversion biosensor was constructed for miRNA-222 detection. The fabricated ECL biosensor exhibited satisfactory analytical performance for miRNA-222 with a detection limit of 16.6 aM. The strategy achieved multipath ECL improvement by introducing high-density N vacancy simply in the 3D structure of g-C3N4 and could open a new horizon for developing a high-performance ECL system.

Abstract
Here, a novel and portable machine learning-assisted smartphone-based visual molecularly imprinted ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (MIRECL) sensing platform was constructed for highly selective sensitive detection of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for the first time. Te doped CdS-coated Mn3O4 (Te-CdS@Mn3O4) with catalase-like activity served as cathode-emitter, while luminol as anode luminophore accompanied H2O2 as co-reactant, and Te-CdS@Mn3O4 decorated molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as recognition unit, respectively. Molecular models were constructed and MIP band and binding energies were calculated to elucidate the luminescence mechanism and select the best functional monomers. The peroxidase activity and the large specific surface area of Mn3O4 and the electrochemical effect can significantly improve the ECL intensity and analytical sensitivity of Te-CdS@Mn3O4. 2,4-D-MIPs were fabricated by in-situ electrochemical polymerization, and the rebinding of 2,4-D inhibits the binding of H2O2 to the anode emitter, and with the increase of the cathode impedance, the ECL response of Te-CdS@Mn3O4 decreases significantly. However, the blocked reaction of luminol on the anode surface also reduces the ECL response. Thus, a double-reduced MIRECL sensing system was designed and exhibited remarkable performance in sensitivity and selectivity due to the specific recognition of MIPs and the inherent ratio correction effect. Wider linear range in the range of 1 nM-100 μM with a detection limit of 0.63 nM for 2,4-D detection. Interestingly, a portable and visual smartphone-based MIRECL analysis system was established based on the capture of luminescence images by smartphones, classification and recognition by convolutional neural networks, and color analysis by self-developed software. Therefore, the developed MIRECL sensor is suitable for integration with portable devices for intelligent, convenient, and fast detection of 2,4-D in real samples.

Abstract
Constructing robust and efficient luminophores is of significant importance in the development of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) amplification strategies. Inspired by the resonance energy transfer in natural light-harvesting systems, we propose a novel ECL amplification system based on ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET), which integrates two luminophores, benzimidazole (BIM) and zinc(II) tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (ZnTCPP), into one framework. Through disassembling and reconstruction processes, numerous BIM surround ZnTCPP in the constructed ZIF-9-ZnTCPP. Combined with the overlapped spectra between the emission of BIM and the absorption of ZnTCPP, the energy of multiple BIM (donor) can be concentrated to a single ZnTCPP (acceptor) to amplify the ECL emission of the acceptor. This work provides a convenient way to design an efficient ECL-RET system, which initiates a brand-new chapter in the development of ECL amplification strategies.
