[PMID: 38237279 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125638] [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: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein that has many important physiological functions, including transportation, immunosuppression, and induction of apoptosis by T lymphocytes. AFP is closely related to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma and many kinds of tumors, all of which can show high concentrations, so it is used as a positive test indicator for many kinds of tumors. This paper reviews recent advances in the detection of the tumor marker AFP based on three immuno-biosensors: electrochemical (EC), photoelectrochemical (PEC), and electrochemical luminescence (ECL). The electrodes are modified by different materials or homemade composites, different signaling molecules are selected as single probes or dual probes for the detection of AFP. The detection limit was as low as 3 fg/mL, which indicated that the AFP immunosensor had achieved highly sensitive detection. In addition, we also reviewed and summarized the current development status and application prospect of AFP immunoelectrochemical sensors. There are not too many researches on immunosensors based on dual-signal ratios, and the commonly used probes are methylene blue (MB) and ferrocene (Fc). It would be more innovative to have more novel signaling molecules as probes to prepare dual-signal ratio sensors.

Zhu L, Tang Z, Zhang X, Zhu L, Meng T, Yu L, Xiao T, Lu S, Xiong X, Yang X. A sensitive "off-on" electrochemiluminescence DNA sensor based on signal cascade amplification circuit and distance-dependent energy transfer. Talanta 2024; 269:125464. [PMID: 38039672 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
A sensitive "off-on" electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA sensor was constructed based on Exo III-assisted cascade amplification system. In the cascade amplification circuit, target DNA and Exo III cutting substrate were designed into an inverted T-shaped binding mode to form a stable DNA junction, thus effectively triggering Exo III digestion cycle. During the biosensor assembly process, ferrocene (Fc) and distance-dependent ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effects were introduced to regulate the ECL of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). Carboxylated ZnCdSe/ZnS QDs were used as ECL signal probes and K2S2O8 was coreactant, and the initial cathodic ECL signal of QDs was efficiently quenched through electron and energy transfer with Fc and ECL-RET with Au NPs, leaving the system in "off" state. After the products of cascade amplification were introduced into the electrode surface, the single-stranded DNA modified with Fc was displaced, and the distance between Au NPs and QDs became farther, resulting in a transition from ECL-RET to SPR, and then a significant ECL signal boost was achieved, turning the system into "on" state. The combination of efficient cascade amplification system and sensitive "off-on" ECL signal change mode enabled the biosensing platform to detect target DNA with high selectivity (able to distinguish single-base mutated DNA) and ultra-high sensitivity (limit of detection was 31.67 aM, S/N = 3), providing a new perspective for designing highly sensitive and programmable ECL biosensors.

Abstract
To overcome the limitations associated with antibody-based sensors, we describe a proof-of-concept of an aptamer-based sandwich assay for detection of lactate dehydrogenase, an antigen associated with malaria. We show a detection limit of Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase and Plasmodium vivax lactate dehydrogenase of 0.5 fmole in buffer, comparable to an antibody-based assay, using a magnetic particle-aptamer construct for capture and a quantum dot-aptamer construct for detection. We then demonstrate a detection limit of 10 amole (50-fold amplification) using oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanoparticles to allow the conjugation of multiple quantum dots for each target antigen.

Abstract
In this work, a new photoelectrochemical biosensor based on Ag2S nanoparticles (NPs) modified macroporous ZnO inverse opals structure (IOs) was developed for sensitive and rapid detection of alpha fetal protein (AFP). Small size and uniformly dispersed Ag2S NPs were prepared using the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption And Reaction (SILAR) method, which were adsorbed on ZnO IOs surface and frame work as matrix for immobilization of AFP. The composite structure of ZnO/Ag2S expanded the scope of light absorption to long wavelength, which can make full use of the light energy. Meanwhile, an effective matching of energy levels between the conduction bands of Ag2S and ZnO are beneficial to the photo-generated electrons transfer. The biosensors based on FTO (fluorine-doped tinoxide) ZnO/Ag2S electrode showed enough sensitivity and a wide linear range from 0.05 ng/mL to 200 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 8 pg/mL for the detection of AFP. It also exhibited high reproducibility, specificity and stability. The proposed method was potentially attractive for achieving excellent photoelectrochemical biosensor for detection of other proteins.
