Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:2069. [PMID: 39065385 PMCID: PMC11280801 DOI: 10.3390/polym16142069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In this research, a novel electrochemical biosensor is proposed based on inducing graphene formation on polyimide substrate via laser engraving. Graphene polyaniline (G-PANI) conductive ink was synthesized by planetary mixing and applied to the working zone of the developed sensor to effectively enhance the electrical signals. The laser-induced graphene (LIG) sensor was used to detect alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and 17β-Estradiol (E2) in the phosphate buffer saline (PBS) buffer and human serum. The electrochemical performance of the biosensor in determining these biomarkers was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry (CA). In a buffer environment, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and 17β-Estradiol detection range were 4-400 ng/mL and 20-400 pg/mL respectively. The experimental results showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.15 ng/mL and 0.96 pg/mL for AFP and estrogen, respectively, with an excellent linear range (R2 = 0.98 and 0.99). In addition, the designed sensor was able to detect these two types of biomarkers in human serum successfully. The proposed sensor exhibited excellent reproducibility, repeatability, and good stability (relative standard deviation, RSD = 0.96%, 1.12%, 2.92%, respectively). The electrochemical biosensor proposed herein is easy to prepare and can be successfully used for low-cost, rapid detection of AFP and E2. This approach provides a promising platform for clinical detection and is advantageous to healthcare applications.

Abstract
Mycotoxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by certain fungi, pose significant health risks as they contaminate food and feed products globally. Current mycotoxin detection methods have limitations in real-time detection capabilities. Aptasensors, incorporating aptamers as specific recognition elements, are crucial for mycotoxin detection due to their remarkable sensitivity and selectivity in identifying target mycotoxins. The sensitivity of aptasensors can be improved by using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). UCNPs consist of lanthanide ions in ceramic host, and their ladder-like energy levels at f-orbitals have unique photophysical properties, including converting low-energy photons to high-energy emissions by a series of complex processes and offering sharp, low-noise, and sensitive near-infrared to visible detection strategy to enhance the efficacy of aptasensors for novel mycotoxin detection. This article aims to review recent reports on the scope of the potential of UCNPs in mycotoxin detection, focusing on their integration with aptasensors to give readers clear insight. We briefly describe the upconversion photoluminescence (UCPL) mechanism and relevant energy transfer processes influencing UCNP design and optimization. Furthermore, recent studies and advancements in UCNP-based aptasensors will be reviewed. We then discuss the potential impact of UCNP-modified aptasensors on food safety and present an outlook on future directions and challenges in this field. This review article comprehensively explains the current state-of-the-art UCNP-based aptasensors for mycotoxin detection. It provides insights into potential applications by addressing technical and practical challenges for practical implementation.

Abstract
In vivo imaging technologies have emerged as a powerful tool for both fundamental research and clinical practice. In particular, luminescence imaging in the tissue-transparent near-infrared (NIR, 700-1700 nm) region offers tremendous potential for visualizing biological architectures and pathophysiological events in living subjects with deep tissue penetration and high imaging contrast owing to the reduced light-tissue interactions of absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence. The distinctive quantum effects of nanocrystals have been harnessed to achieve exceptional photophysical properties, establishing them as a promising category of luminescent probes. In this comprehensive review, the interactions between light and biological tissues, as well as the advantages of NIR light for in vivo luminescence imaging, are initially elaborated. Subsequently, we focus on achieving deep tissue penetration and improved imaging contrast by optimizing the performance of nanocrystal fluorophores. The ingenious design strategies of NIR nanocrystal probes are discussed, along with their respective biomedical applications in versatile in vivo luminescence imaging modalities. Finally, thought-provoking reflections on the challenges and prospects for future clinical translation of nanocrystal-based in vivo luminescence imaging in the NIR region are wisely provided.

Abstract
The point-of-care detection of tumor markers in saliva with high sensitivity and specificity remains a daunting challenge in biomedical research and clinical applications. Herein, a facile and ultrasensitive detection of tumor marker in saliva based on luminescence-amplification strategy of lanthanide nanoprobes is proposed. Eu2O3 nanocrystals are employed as bioprobes, which can be easily dissolved in acidic enhancer solution and transform into a large number of highly luminescent Eu3+ micelles. Meanwhile, disposable syringe filter equipped with nitrocellulose membrane is used as bioassay platform, which facilitates the accomplishment of detection process within 10 min. The rational integration of dissolution enhanced luminescent bioassay strategy and miniaturized detection device enables the unique lab-in-syringe assay of tumor marker like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, an important tumor marker in clinic diagnosis and prognosis of cancer) with a detection limit down to 1.47 pg mL-1 (7.35 × 10-15 m). Upon illumination with a portable UV flashlight, the photoluminescence intensity change above 0.1 ng mL-1 (0.5 × 10-12 m) of CEA can be visually detected by naked eyes, which allows one to qualitatively evaluate the CEA level. Moreover, we confirm the reliability of using the amplified luminescence of Eu2O3 nanoprobes for direct quantitation of CEA in patient saliva samples, thus validates the practicality of the proposed strategy for both clinical diagnosis and home self-monitoring of tumor marker in human saliva.

Abstract
Upconversion materials have been the focus of a large body of research in analytical and clinical fields in the last two decades owing to their ability to convert light between various spectral regions and their particular photophysical features. They emit efficient and sharp ultraviolet (UV) or visible luminescence after excitation with near-infrared (NIR) light. These features overcome some of the disadvantages reported for conventional fluorescent materials and provide opportunities for high sensitivity chemo-and bio-sensing. Here, we review studies that used upconversion materials as sensors for the determination of pharmaceuticals and biomolecules in the last two decades. The articles included in this review were retrieved from the SCOPUS database using the search phrases: "upconversion nanoparticles for determination of pharmaceutical compounds", and "upconversion nanoparticles for determination of biomolecules". Details of each developed upconversion nanoparticles based sensor along with their relevant analytical parameters are reported and carefully explained.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a detoxification enzyme of the liver and kidney. Based on the toxicological effect of GST, it is of great significance to develop a rapid and sensitive detection method for GST. In this work, a new luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) system has been designed to detect glutathione S-transferase in the near-infrared (NIR) region by utilizing NaGdF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the donor and NIR dye-806@Glutathione (IR806@GSH) as the acceptor. NaGdF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4 UCNPs were synthesized by a coprecipitation method and surface modification of NOBF4. The donor (positively charged) interacted with the acceptor (negatively charged) via electrostatic interactions to bring them into close proximity; then, LRET occurred and the luminescence was quenched. In the presence of GST, GST can specifically interact with the GSH of IR806@GSH molecule, making IR806@GSH far away from the donor surface, inhibiting the LRET, and restoring the luminescence of the UCNPs. There was a good linear relationship between the luminescence recovery intensity of UCNPs and GST concentration, ranging from 0.11 to 14.19 nM, and the detection of limit was 0.06 nM. The method has been used in the detection of GST in human serum samples and is expected to have potential applications in the biological field. Graphical abstract A luminescence resonance energy transfer system was developed for determination of glutathione S-transferase in the near-infrared region by utilizing NaGdF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles as the donor and NIR dye-806@Glutathione as the acceptor.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer, one of the most powerful phenomena for elucidating molecular interactions, has been extensively utilized as a biosensing tool to provide accurate information at the nanoscale. Numerous aptamer- and nanomaterial-based FRET bioassays has been developed for detection of a large variety of molecules. Affinity probes are widely used in biosensors, in which aptamers have emerged as advantageous biorecognition elements, due to their chemical and structural stability. Similarly, optically active nanomaterials offer significant advantages over conventional organic dyes, such as superior photophysical properties, large surface-to-volume ratios, photostability, and longer shelf life. In this report (with 175 references), the use of aptamer-modified nanomaterials as FRET couples is reviewed: quantum dots, upconverting nanoparticles, graphene, reduced graphene oxide, gold nanoparticles, molybdenum disulfide, graphene quantum dots, carbon dots, and metal-organic frameworks. Tabulated summaries provide the reader with useful information on the current state of research in the field.

Abstract
This paper reports successful synthesis of multifunctional nanoclusters of upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) and gold nanorod (AuNR) through a PEGylation process. UCNPs emit visible luminescence under near-infrared excitation, producing high-contrast images with no background fluorescence. When coupled with AuNRs, the resulting UCNP-AuNR multifunctional nanoclusters are capable of simultaneous detection and treatment of bladder cancer. These UCNP-AuNR nanoclusters are further functionalized with antibodies to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to target bladder cancer cells known to overexpress EGFRs. This paper demonstrates, for the first time, efficient targeting of bladder cancer cells with UCNP-AuNR nanoclusters. In addition to high-contrast imaging and consequently high sensitivity detection of bladder cancer cells, highly selective optoporation-assisted chemotherapy was accomplished using a dosage of chemotherapy agent significantly lower than any previous reports, within a clinically relevant incubation time window. These results are highly relevant to the eventual human application in which the nanoclusters and chemotherapy drugs will be directly instilled in bladder via urinary catheter.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) possess unique photothermal properties due to their strong plasmonic absorption in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. They have been explored widely as an alternative or a complement to chemotherapy in cancer treatment. However, the use of AuNRs as an injectable medicine is greatly hindered by their stability in biological media. Therefore, studies have been focused on improving the stability of AuNRs by introducing biocompatible surface functionalizations such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) coatings. However, these coatings can affect heat conduction and alter their photothermal behavior. Herein, we studied how functionalization of AuNRs with PEG chains of different molecular weights determined the temperature distribution of suspensions under near-infrared irradiation, cell uptake in vitro, and hyperthermia-induced cytotoxicity. Thermogravimetric analysis of the PEG-conjugated AuNRs exhibited slightly different PEG mass fractions of 12.0%, 12.7%, and 18.5% for PEG chains with molecular weights of 2, 5, and 10 kDa, respectively, implying distinct structures for PEG brushes. When exposed to near-infrared radiation, we found greater temperatures and temperature gradients for longer PEG chains, while rapid aggregation was observed in unmodified (raw) AuNRs. The effect of the PEG coating on heat transport was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations, which revealed the atomic scale structure of the PEG brushes and demonstrated lower thermal conductivity for PEG-coated AuNRs than for unmodified AuNRs. We also characterized the uptake of the AuNRs into mouse melanoma cells in vitro and determined their ability to kill these cells when subjected to near-infrared radiation. For all PEG-coated AuNRs, exposure to 10 s of near-infrared radiation significantly reduced cell viability relative to unirradiated controls, with this viability further decreasing with increasing AuNR doses, indicating potential phototherapeutic effects. The 5 kDa PEG coating appeared to yield the best performance, yielding significant phototoxicity at even the lowest dose considered (0.5 μg mL-1), while also exhibiting high colloidal stability, which could help in rational design consideration of AuNRs for NIR induced photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles exhibit unique optical properties, such as a long luminescence lifetime (up to several milliseconds), sharp emission peaks, and upconversion luminescence over the range of wavelengths from near-infrared to visible. Exploiting these optical properties, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles have been widely utilized for cellular and small animal imaging with the absence of background autofluorescence. In addition, these nanoparticles have advantages of high signal-to-noise ratio for highly sensitive and selective diagnostic detection. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent progress in the development of highly sensitive diagnostic methods using lanthanide-doped nanoparticles. Combined with a smartphone, portable luminescence detecting platforms could be widely applied in point-of-care tests.

Abstract
Bioassays for the rapid detection and quantification of specific nucleic acids, proteins, and peptides are fundamental tools in many clinical settings. Traditional optical emission methods have focused on the use of molecular dyes as labels to track selective binding interactions and as probes that are sensitive to environmental changes. Such dyes can offer good detection limits based on brightness but typically have broad emission bands and suffer from time-dependent photobleaching. Inorganic nanoparticles such as quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles are photostable over prolonged exposure to excitation radiation and tend to offer narrow emission bands, providing a greater opportunity for multiwavelength multiplexing. Importantly, in contrast to molecular dyes, nanoparticles offer substantial surface area and can serve as platforms to carry a large number of conjugated molecules. The surface chemistry of inorganic nanoparticles offers both challenges and opportunities for the control of solubility and functionality for selective molecular interactions by the assembly of coatings through coordination chemistry. This report reviews advances in the compositional design and methods of conjugation of inorganic quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles and the assembly of combinations of nanoparticles to achieve energy exchange. Our interest is the exploration of configurations where the modified nanoparticles can be immobilized to solid substrates for the development of bioassays and biosensors that operate by resonance energy transfer (RET).

Abstract
Fabrication of near-infrared light-triggered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors based on the upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) is a novel approach, which exhibits the advantages of low background signal and non-damage to the biological substance as well as high sensitivity and improved electric detection in PEC sensors. Herein we demonstrate the preparation of novel and high-quality ZnO inverse opal photonic crystals (IOPCs)/Ag/NaYF4:Yb,Tm hybrid films by different advanced film techniques, including colloidal self-assembling, vapor phase deposition and pulsed laser deposition and its application to sensitive detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). In the complex device, ZnO IOPCs and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of silver had ability to largely enhance local excitation electromagnetic field of NaYF4:Yb,Tm, resulting in efficient near-infrared to visible/ultraviolet upconversion luminescence (UCL). The ultraviolet light emitted by NaYF4:Yb,Tm could b further reabsorbed by ZnO, generating PEC responses. Furthermore, because of the high specific surface area of ZnO IOPCs and the conductivity of Ag films, ZnO IOPCs/Ag/NaYF4:Yb,Tm hybrid films based near-infrared light-triggered PEC sensors showed ultrasensitive detection of AFP with a linear range from 0.05 ng mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of ∼0.04 ng mL-1 (40 pg mL-1). Such an advanced device also shows promise in detection of other cancer markers in clinical and biological analysis.

Abstract
An redox luminescence switch was developed for the sensing of glutathione (GSH), l-cysteine (Cys) or l-ascorbic acid (AA) based on redox reaction. The Mn2+ -doped NaYF4 :Yb,Er upconversion nanorods (UCNRs) with an emission peak located in the red region were synthesized. The luminescence intensity of the UCNRs could be quenched due to the Mn2+ could be oxidized to MnO2 by KMnO4 . Subsequently, when the AA, GSH or Cys was added into the MnO2 modified upconversion nanosystem, which could reduced MnO2 to Mn2+ and the luminescence intensity was recovered. The concentration ranges of the nanosystem are 0.500-3.375 mM (R2 = 0.99) for AA, 0.6250-11.88 mM (R2 = 0.99) for GSH and 0.6250-9.375 mM (R2 = 0.99) for Cys, respectively.

Abstract
In vitro biosensors have been an integral component for early diagnosis of cancer in the clinic. Among them, no-wash biosensors, which only depend on the simple mixing of the signal generating probes and the sample solution without additional washing and separation steps, have been found to be particularly attractive. The outstanding advantages of facile, convenient, and rapid response of no-wash biosensors are especially suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). One fast-growing field of no-wash biosensor design involves the usage of nanomaterials as signal amplification carriers or direct signal generating elements. The analytical capacity of no-wash biosensors with respect to sensitivity or limit of detection, specificity, stability, and multiplexing detection capacity is largely improved because of their large surface area, excellent optical, electrical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various nanomaterial-enhanced no-wash biosensing technologies and focuses on the analysis of the underlying mechanism of these technologies applied for the early detection of cancer biomarkers ranging from small molecules to proteins, and even whole cancerous cells. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for in vitro diagnostics of cancer. Finally, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and a perspective outlook on the field are provided.

Abstract
Herein we propose a multiple signal amplification strategy designed for ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of glycoproteins. This approach introduces a new type of boronate-affinity sandwich assay (BASA), which was fabricated by using gold nanoparticles combined with reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs-GO) to modify sensing surface for accelerating electron transfer, the composite of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) including 4-vinylphenylboronic acid (VPBA) for specific capturing glycoproteins, and SiO2 nanoparticles carried gold nanoparticles (SiO2@Au) labeled with 6-ferrocenylhexanethiol (FcHT) and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) (SiO2@Au/FcHT/MPBA) as tracing tag for binding glycoprotein and generating electrochemical signal. As a sandwich-type sensing, the SiO2@Au/FcHT/MPBA was captured by glycoprotein on the surface of imprinting film for further electrochemical detection in 0.1 M PBS (pH 7.4). Using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a model glycoprotein, the proposed approach exhibited a wide linear range from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL, with a low detection limit of 0.57 pg/mL. To the best of our knowledge, this is first report of a multiple signal amplification approach based on boronate-affinity molecularly imprinted polymer and SiO2@Au/FcHT/MPBA, exhibiting greatly enhanced sensitivity for glycoprotein detection. Furthermore, the newly constructed BASA based glycoprotein sensor demonstrated HRP detection in real sample, such as human serum, suggesting its promising prospects in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
A highly sensitive luminescent bioassay for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium was fabricated using Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb,Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the donor and gold nanorods (Au NRs) as the acceptor and utilizing an energy transfer (LET) system. Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb,Tm UCNPs with a strong emission peak at 807nm were obtained by changing the doped ion ratio. Carboxyl-terminated Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb,Tm UCNPs were coupled with S. typhimurium aptamers, which were employed to capture and concentrate S. typhimurium. The electrostatic interactions shorten the distance between the negatively charged donor and the positively charged acceptor, which results in luminescence quenching. The added S. typhimurium leads to the restoration of luminescence due to the formation of UCNPs-aptamers-S. typhimurium, which repels the UCNPs-aptamers from the Au NRs. The LET system does not occur because of the nonexistence of the luminescence emission band of Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb,Tm UCNPs, which had large spectral overlap with the absorption band of Au NRs. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of detecting S. typhimurium was 12 to 5×105cfu/mL (R=0.99). The limit of detection for S. typhimurium was as low as 11cfu/mL in an aqueous buffer. The measurement of S. typhimurium in milk samples was satisfied in accordance with the plate-counting method, suggesting that the proposed method was of practical value in the application of food security.

Abstract
Trivalent europium (Eu3+) doped inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), emerging as a new class of red luminescent nanoprobes, have shown great promise in bioapplications as diverse as luminescent bioassays and disease theranostics owing to their superior optical properties such as long-lived downshifting luminescence (DSL) and upconverting luminescence (UCL). However, the exploration of Eu3+-doped NPs as red luminescent bioprobes particularly combined with DSL and UCL of Eu3+ hitherto remains untouched. Herein, we report a rational core-shell-shell (CSS) design strategy to construct Eu3+-activated NaGdF4:Yb/Tm@NaGdF4:Eu@NaEuF4 CSS NPs functionalized with efficient UCL and dissolution-enhanced DSL of Eu3+ for in vitro tumor marker detection and tumor-targeted imaging. By utilizing the CSS NPs as red luminescent nanoprobes, we demonstrate the successful UCL and DSL bioassays of a typical hepatic carcinoma biomarker, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), in human serum samples. The UCL bioassay shows a limit of detection (LOD) of AFP down to 20 pg mL-1 (290 fM), which is the lowest among luminescent bioassays of AFP ever reported, and a 30-fold improvement relative to that of the commercial dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay kit. Meanwhile the DSL bioassay, by employing the identical CSS NPs, can serve as a self-referential validation for the reliability and accuracy of the UCL bioassay for AFP detection. Furthermore, these CSS NPs can also function well in tumor-targeted UCL bioimaging, thereby revealing the great promise of the designed CSS NPs as red luminescent bioprobes in ultrasensitive in vitro detection of tumor markers in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Perovskite alkaline niobates, due to their strong nonlinear optical properties, including birefringence and the capability to produce second-harmonic generation (SHG) signals, attract a lot of attention as potential candidates for applications as local nano/microsized mechano-optical probes. Here, we report on an implementation of photonic force microscopy (PFM) to explore the Brownian motion and optical trappability of monocrystalline potassium niobate (KNbO3) nano/microsized particles having sizes within the range of 50 to 750 nm. In particular, we exploit the anisotropic translational diffusive regime of the Brownian motion to quantify thermal fluctuations and optical forces of singly-trapped KNbO3 particles within the optical trapping volume of a PFM microscope. We also show that, under near-infrared (NIR) excitation of the highly focused laser beam of the PFM microscope, a single optically-trapped KNbO3 particle reveals a strong SHG signal manifested by a narrow peak (λ(em) = 532 nm) at half the excitation wavelength (λ(ex) = 1064 nm). Moreover, we demonstrate that the thus induced SHG emission can be used as a local light source that is capable of optically exciting molecules of an organic dye, Rose Bengal (RB), which adhere to the particle surface, through the mechanism of luminescence energy transfer (LET).

Abstract
A paper-based upconversion fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay device is proposed for sensitive detection of CEA. The device is fabricated on a normal filter paper with simple nano-printing method. Upconversion nanoparticles tagged with specific antibodies are printed to the test zones on the test paper, followed by the introduction of assay antigen. Upconversion fluorescence measurements are directly conducted on the test zones after the antigen-to-antibody reactions. Furthermore, a multi-channel test paper for simultaneous detection of multiple cancer biomarkers was established by the same method and obtained positive results. The device showed high anti-interfere, stability, reproducible and low detection limit (0.89 ng/mL), moreover it is very easy to fabricate and operate, which is a promising prospect for a clinical point-of-care test.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific biodetection of tumor markers is essential for early-stage cancer diagnosis and therapy, and will ultimately increase the patient survival rate. As a new generation of luminescent bioprobes, lanthanide (Ln(3+))-doped inorganic luminescent nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest for a variety of biomedical applications due to their superior physicochemical properties. In this feature article, we provide a brief overview of the most recent advances in the development of Ln(3+)-doped luminescent nano-bioprobes and their promising applications for in vitro detection of tumor markers with an emphasis on the establishment of state-of-the-art assay techniques, such as heterogeneous time-resolved (TR) luminescent bioassay, dissolution-enhanced luminescent bioassay, upconversion (UC) luminescent bioassay, homogeneous TR Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) and UC-FRET bioassays. Some future prospects and efforts towards this emerging field are also envisioned.
