Abstract
The development of sensors for detection of biomarkers exhibits an exciting potential in diagnosis of diseases. Herein, we propose a novel electrochemical sensing strategy for label-free dual-biomarker detection, which is based on the combination of stimulus-responsive molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-modified nanopores and a polymeric membrane chronopotentiometric sensor. The ion fluxes galvanostatically imposed on the sensing membrane surface can be blocked by the recognition reaction between the target biomarker in the sample solution and the stimulus-responsive MIP receptor in the nanopores, thus causing a potential change. By using two external stimuli (i.e., pH and temperature), the recognition abilities of the stimulus-responsive MIP receptor can be effectively modulated so that dual-biomarker label-free chronopotentiometric detection can be achieved. Using alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as model biomarkers, the proposed sensor offers detection limits of 0.17 and 0.42 ng/mL for AFP and PSA, respectively.

Abstract
Rapid separation and enrichment of targets in biological matrixes are of significant interest in multiple life sciences disciplines. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have vital applications in extraction and sample cleanup owing to their excellent specificity and selectivity. However, the low mass transfer rate, caused by the heterogeneity of imprinted cavities in polymer networks and strong driving forces, significantly limits its application in high-throughput analysis. Herein, one novel metal affinity-oriented surface imprinting method was proposed to fabricate an MIP with an ultrathin imprinting layer. MIPs were prepared by immobilized template molecules on magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with metal ions as bridges via coordination, and then polymerization was done. Under the optimized conditions, the thickness of the imprinting layer was merely 1 nm, and the adsorption toward VAL well matched the Langmuir model. Moreover, it took just 5 min to achieve adsorption equilibrium significantly faster than other reported MIPs toward VAL. Adsorption capacity still can reach 25.3 mg/g ascribed to the high imprinting efficiency of the method (the imprinting factor was as high as 5). All evidence proved that recognition sites were all external cavities and were evenly distributed on the surface of the NPs. The obtained MIP NPs exhibited excellent selectivity and specificity toward VAL, with good dispersibility and stability. Coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography, it was successfully used as a dispersed solid phase extraction material to determine VAL in serum. Average recoveries are over 90.0% with relative standard deviations less than 2.14% at three spiked levels (n = 3). All evidence testified that the MIPs fabricated with the proposed method showed a fast trans mass rate and a large rebinding capacity. The method can potentially use high-throughput separation and enrichment of target molecules in batch samples to meet practical applications.

Abstract
A fluorescent sensing material based on the ternary core-shell quantum dots with outstanding optical properties and a bio-inspired molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as a recognition element has been prepared for selective detection of rifampicin (RFP). Firstly, AgInS2/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (ZAIS QDs) were prepared by a hydrothermal process. Then, the fluorescent sensor was prepared by coating these QDs by a dopamine-based MIP layer. The fluorescence of MIP@ZAIS QDs was quenched by RFP probably due to the photoinduced electron transfer process. The quenching constant was much higher for MIP@ZAIS QDs than the non-imprinted polymer@QDs, indicating that MIP@ZAIS QDs could selectively recognize RFP. Under the optimized conditions, the sensor had a good linear relationship at the RFP concentration range of 5.0 to 300 nM and the limit of detection was 1.25 nM. The respond time of the MIP@ZAIS QDs was 5 min, and the imprinting factor was 6.3. It also showed good recoveries ranging from 98 to 101%, for analysis of human plasma samples. The method is simple and effective for the detection of RFP and offers a practical application for the rapid analysis of human plasma samples.

Molecules 2024; 29:2500. [PMID: 38893376 PMCID: PMC11173610 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29112500] [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: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Ellagic acid (EA) is a natural polyphenol and possesses excellent in vivo bioactivity and antioxidant behaviors, which play an important role in the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases, such as cancer. Additionally, EA is also known as a skin-whitening ingredient. The content of EA would determine its efficacy. Therefore, the accurate analysis of EA content can provide more information for the scientific consumption of EA-rich foods and cosmetics. Nevertheless, the analysis of EA in these samples is challenging due to the low concentration level and the presence of interfering components with high abundance. Molecularly imprinted polymers are highly efficient pretreatment materials in achieving specific recognition of target molecules. However, the traditional template molecule (EA) could not be absolutely removed. Hence, template leakage continues to occur during the sample preparation process, leading to a lack of accuracy in the quantification of EA in actual samples, particularly for trace analytes. In addition, another drawback of EA as an imprinting template is that EA possesses poor solubility and a high price. Gallic acid (GA), called dummy templates, was employed for the synthesis of MIPs as a solution to these challenges. The approach used in this study was boronate affinity-based oriented surface imprinting. The prepared dummy-imprinted nanoparticles exhibited several significant advantages, such as good specificity, high binding affinity ((4.89 ± 0.46) × 10-5 M), high binding capacity (6.56 ± 0.35 mg/g), fast kinetics (6 min), and low binding pH (pH 5.0) toward EA. The reproducibility of the dummy-imprinted nanoparticles was satisfactory. The dummy-imprinted nanoparticles could still be reused even after six adsorption-desorption cycles. In addition, the recoveries of the proposed method for EA at three spiked levels of analysis in strawberry and pineapple were 91.0-106.8% and 93.8-104.0%, respectively, which indicated the successful application to real samples.

Abstract
Long-term inflammation, including those induced by bacterial infections, contributes to the superfluous accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), further aggravating this condition, decreasing the local pH, and adversely affecting bone defect healing. Conventional drug delivery scaffold materials struggle to meet the demands of this complex and dynamic microenvironment. In this work, a smart gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel was synthesized for the dual delivery of proanthocyanidin and amikacin based on the unique pH and ROS responsiveness of boronate complexes. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated the co-crosslinking of two boronate complexes with GelMA. The addition of the boronate complexes improved the mechanical properties, swelling ratio, degradation kinetics and antioxidative properties of the hydrogel. The hydrogel exhibited pH and ROS responses and a synergistic control over the drug release. Proanthocyanidin was responsively released to protect mouse osteoblast precursor cells from oxidative stress and promote their osteogenic differentiation. The hydrogel responded to pH changes and released sufficient amikacin in a timely manner, thereby exerting an efficient antimicrobial effect. Overall, the hydrogel delivery system exhibited a promising strategy for solving infectious and inflammatory problems in bone defects and promoting early-stage bone healing.

Abstract
Shikimic acid (SA) is one of the most effective drugs against the A (H1N1) virus and has high medicinal value. Additionally, it has the ability to generate non-toxic herbicides and antimicrobial medications. The extraction from plants has proven to be the main route of production of SA with economic benefits and environmental efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to perform purification of SA from these herbal medicines before quantifying it. In this study, researchers employed a boronate affinity-based controlled oriented surface imprinting technique to produce molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as highly effective solid phase extraction (SPE) adsorbents for the isolation and purification of SA. 3-Fluoro-4-formylphenylboronic acid functionalized silica nanoparticles were used as supporting materials for immobilizing SA. Poly(2-anilinoethanol) with a higher hydrophilic domain can be used as an effective imprinting coating. The prepared SA-imprinted silica nanoparticles exhibited several significant results, such as good specificity, high binding capacity (39.06 ± 2.24 mg g-1), moderate binding constant (6.61 × 10-4 M-1), fast kinetics (8 min) and low binding pH (pH 5.0) toward SA. The replication of SA-imprinted silica nanoparticles was deemed satisfactory. The SA-imprinted silica nanoparticles could be still reused after seven adsorption-desorption cycles, which indicated high chemical stability. In addition, the recoveries of the proposed method for SA at three spiked level analysis in star aniseed and meadow cranesbill were 96.2% to 109.0% and 91.6% to 103.5%, respectively. The SA-imprinted silica nanoparticles that have been prepared are capable of identifying the target SA in real herbal medicines. Our approach makes sample pre-preparation simple, fast, selective and efficient.

Abstract
In situ modification of glycans requires extraordinary molecular recognition of highly complex and subtly different carbohydrates, followed by reactions at precise locations on the substrate. We here report synthetic catalysts that under physiological conditions cleave a predetermined oligosaccharide block such as a branched trimannose or the entire N-glycan of a glycoprotein, while nontargeted glycoproteins stay intact. The method also allows α2-6-sialylated galactosides to be removed preferentially over the α2-3-linked ones from cell surfaces, highlighting the potential of these synthetic glycosidases for glycan editing.

Abstract
Fluorescent boronate affinity molecules have gained increasing attention in the field of fluorescence sensing and detection due to their selective recognition capability towards cis-diol-containing molecules (cis-diols). However, the conventional fluorescent boronate affinity molecules face a challenge in differentiating the type of cis-diol only by their fluorescence responses. In this study, a simple method was used to discriminate different types of cis-diols, including nucleosides, nucleotides, sugars, and glycoproteins based on the phenylboronic acid-functionalized fluorescent molecules combined with principal component analysis (PCA). Both fluorescent molecules were simply synthesized by the covalent interaction between the amino group in 3-aminophenyl boronic acid and the isothiocyanate group in fluorescein or rhodamine B. In view of their fluorescence-responsive behaviors to these cis-diols directly, it is impossible to differentiate their types even under the optimized experimental conditions. When PCA was employed to treat the fluorescence response data and the quenching constants with their molecular weight, different types of cis-diols can be distinguished successfully. As a result, by integrating the fluorescence response of the boronate affinity probes with PCA, it can greatly improve the specific recognition capability of the boronic acids, providing a simple and direct way to distinguish and identify different types of cis-diols.

Abstract
The sensitive analysis of glycoproteins is of great importance for early diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. In this work, a sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the detection of glycoproteins using 4-formylphenylboric acid (FPBA)-modified Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (FPBA-Cu-MOFs) as dual-functional signal probes. The target captured by the aptamer-modified electrode allowed the attachment of FPBA-Cu-MOFs based on the interaction between boronic acid and glycan on glycoproteins. Large numbers of Cu2+ ions in FPBA-Cu-MOFs produced an amplified signal for the direct voltammetric detection of glycoproteins. The electrochemical aptasensor showed a detection limit as low as 6.5 pg mL-1 for prostate specific antigen detection. The method obviates the use of antibody and enzymes for molecular recognition and signal output. The dual-functional MOFs can be extended to the design of other biosensors for the determination of diol-containing biomolecules in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
It is of great importance to have sensitive and accurate detection of cis-diol-containing biologically related substances because of their important functions in the research fields of metabolomics, glycomics, and proteomics. Boronic acids can specifically and reversibly interact with 1,2- or 1,3-diols to form five or six cyclic esters. Based on this unique property, boronic acid-based materials have been used as synthetic receptors for the specific recognition and detection of cis-diol-containing species. This review critically summarizes the recent advances with boronic acid-based materials as recognition elements and signal labels for the detection of cis-diol-containing biological species, including ribonucleic acids, glycans, glycoproteins, bacteria, exosomes, and tumor cells. We also address the challenges and future perspectives for developing versatile boronic acid-based materials with various promising applications.

Abstract
Novel detection method has been developed to explore changes in mechanical bending angles on a bilayer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). For an ovalbumin (OVA)-imprinted hydrogel layer, functional monomers were employed to achieve sufficient binding effect in the polymer matrix. The OVA amount added in the MIP precursor solution and the dimensions of OVA-imprinted hydrogel (MIH) strips were controlled to maximize the change in bending angles as an OVA sensing response within a valid detection range. The sensing behaviors were determined by monitoring the difference in the bending angles via protein adsorption based on the swelling-induced deformation of the OVA-extracted hydrogel (E-MIH) strip. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of the E-MIH strip was calculated via the Bradford protein assay. The detection limit, quantification limit, and imprinting factor were calculated. To compare the selectivity coefficients, the adsorption behaviors of three proteins were investigated. Finally, the reusability of the E-MIH strip was explored via repeated adsorption and extraction. Based on the results, the E-MIH strips demonstrated a promising protein sensing platform monitoring mechanical bending angles affected by swelling deformation.

Abstract
Reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) has emerged as a promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy. Targeted therapeutics integrating multiple functions to fully leverage the antitumor immune functions of macrophages without affecting systemic or tissue-resident macrophages are crucial for TAM reprogramming. Herein, by integrating molecular imprinting and nanotechnology, we rationally designed and engineered an unprecedented nanocoordinator for targeted remolding of TAMs to fully leverage the antitumor efficacy of macrophages by inducing a cascade effect. The nanocoordinator features a magnetic iron oxide nanoinner core and sialic acid-imprinted shell. Intravenously administered into systemic circulation, the nanocoordinator can rapidly accumulate at the tumor site in response to an external magnet. Then, by specifically binding to sialic acid overexpressed on tumor cells, the nanocoordinator anchors at the tumor site with prolonged retention time. Via binding with the nanocoordinator, tumor cells are tagged with a foreign substance, which promotes the intrinsic phagocytosis of macrophages. Subsequently, the nanocoordinator taken up by macrophages effectively promotes the polarization of macrophages toward the M1 phenotype, thus activating the immunotherapeutic efficacy of macrophages. Synergized by the cascade effect, this nanocoordinator effectively harnesses TAMs for macrophage-mediated immunotherapy. This study offers new TAM-targeted therapeutics that allows us to fully leverage the antitumor immune functions of macrophages without affecting the normal tissue.

Bioelectrochemistry 2023; 152:108462. [PMID: 37182264 PMCID: PMC10170874 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Sensitive detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein (S protein) is of significant clinical importance in the diagnosis of COVID-19 pandemic. In this work, a surface molecularly imprinted (SMI) electrochemical biosensor is fabricated for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Cu7S4-Au is used as the built-in probe and modified on the surface of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). 4-Mercaptophenylboric acid (4-MPBA) is anchored to the surface of the Cu7S4-Au through Au-SH bonds, which can be used for the immobilization of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein template through boronate ester bonds. After that, 3-aminophenylboronic acid (3-APBA) is electropolymerized on the electrode surface and used as the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The SMI electrochemical biosensor is obtained after the elution of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein template with an acidic solution by the dissociation of the boronate ester bonds, which can be utilized for sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. The developed SMI electrochemical biosensor displays high specificity, reproducibility and stability, which might be a potential and promising candidate for the clinical diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract
This review aims at answering the following question: how can a researcher be sure to succeed in grafting a protein onto a polymer surface? Even if protein immobilization on solid supports has been used industrially for a long time, hence enabling natural enzymes to serve as a powerful tool, emergence of new supports such as polymeric surfaces for the development of so-called intelligent materials requires new approaches. In this review, we introduce the challenges in grafting protein on synthetic polymers, mainly because compared to hard surfaces, polymers may be sensitive to various aqueous media, depending on the pH or reductive molecules, or may exhibit state transitions with temperature. Then, the specificity of grafting on synthetic polymers due to difference of chemical functions availability or difference of physical properties are summarized. We present next the various available routes to covalently bond the protein onto the polymeric substrates considering the functional groups coming from the monomers used during polymerization reaction or post-modification of the surfaces. We also focus our review on a major concern of grafting protein, which is avoiding the potential loss of function of the immobilized protein. Meanwhile, this review considers the different methods of characterization used to determine the grafting efficiency but also the behavior of enzymes once grafted. We finally dedicate the last part of this review to industrial application and future prospective, considering the sustainable processes based on green chemistry.

Abstract
The strategy of enhancing molecular recognition by improving the binding affinity of drug molecules against targets has generated a lot of successful therapeutic applications. However, one critical consequence of such affinity improvement, generally called "on-target, off-tumor" toxicity, emerged as a major obstacle limiting their clinical usage. Herein, we provide a modular assembly strategy that affords affinity-tunable DNA nanostructures allowing for immobilizing multiple aptamers that bind to the example antigen of EpCAM with different affinities. We develop a theoretical model proving that the apparent affinity of aptamer assemblies to target cells varies with antigen density as well as aptamer valency. More importantly, we demonstrate experimentally that the theoretical model can be used to predict the least valency required for discrimination between EpCAMhigh and EpCAMlow cells in vitro and in vivo. We believe that our strategy will have broad applications in an engineering nucleic acid-based delivery platform for targeted and cell therapy.

Abstract
Cis-diol metabolic reprogramming evolves during primary liver cancer (PLC) initiation and progression. However, owing to the low concentrations and highly structural heterogeneity of cis-diols in vivo, severe interference from complex biofluids and limited profiling coverage of existing methods, in-depth profiling of cis-diol metabolites and linking their specific changes with PLC remain challenging. Besides, due to the low specificity of widely used protein biomarkers, accurate classification of PLC from hepatitis still represents an unmet need in clinical diagnostics. Herein, to high-coverage profile cis-diols and explore the translational potential of them as biomarkers, a machine learning-empowered boronate affinity extraction-solvent evaporation assisted enrichment-mass spectrometry (MLE-BESE-MS) was developed. A single analytical platform integrated with multiple complementary functions, including pH-controlled boronate affinity extraction, solvent evaporation-assisted enrichment and nanoelectrospray ionization-based cis-diol identification, was constructed, which significantly improved the metabolite coverage. Meanwhile, by virtue of machine learning (principal components analysis, orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis and random forest), collected cis-diols were statistically screened to extract efficient features for precise PLC diagnosis, and the results outperform the routinely used protein biomarker-based methods both in sensitivity (87.5% vs. less than 70%) and specificity (85.7% vs. ca. 80%). This machine learning-empowered integrated MS platform advanced the targeted metabolic analysis for early cancer diagnosis, rendering great promise for clinical translation.

Abstract
Epitope imprinting is a promising method for creating specialized recognition sites that resemble natural biorecognition elements. Epitope-imprinted materials have gained a lot of attention recently in a variety of fields, including bioanalysis, drug delivery, and clinical therapy. The vast applications of epitope imprinted polymers are due to the flexibility in choosing monomers, the simplicity in obtaining templates, specificity toward targets, and resistance to harsh environments along with being cost effective in nature. The "epitope imprinting technique," which uses only a tiny subunit of the target as the template during imprinting, offers a way around various drawbacks inherent to biomacromolecule systems i.e., traditional molecular imprinting techniques with regards to the large size of proteins, such as the size, complexity, accessibility, and conformational flexibility of the template. Electrochemical based sensors are proven to be promising tool for the quick, real-time monitoring of biomarkers. This review unravels epitope imprinting techniques, approaches, and strategies and highlights the applicability of these techniques for the electrochemical quantification of biomarkers for timely disease monitoring. In addition, some challenges are discussed along with future prospective developments.

Abstract
The development of highly specific biomimetic recognition material is a challenge for rapid detection of harmful residues in foodstuff. In this study, a paper-based boronate affinity metal-organic framework/molecularly imprinted polymer microfluidic chip (FZS-BA@MIP) was constructed based on the in situ construction strategy, which was also designed as a highly specific biomimetic recognition module. Here, the homogeneous zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) membrane served as a great scaffold and enrichment layer. Besides, the recognition layer of MIP was prepared based on a highly oriented boronate affinity surface imprinting strategy. With the aid of the liquid flow channel, the highly specific enrichment and visual detection for antibiotic residues like kanamycin in actual products were achieved on the paper chip module of an integrated lateral flow platform. The whole analysis process could be accomplished within 30 min. In brief, this study offered a new integrated biomimetic recognition platform for visually detecting harmful veterinary residues containing cis-diols, which demonstrated promising commercial value in point-of-care testing of foodborne hazardous compounds.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid often coexist in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and play roles as antioxidation, antiviral, antitumor and anti-inflammatory agents. Due to their low content and the presence of structural analogues, they cannot be effectively separated by conventional extraction methods. Molecularly imprinted polymers, as synthesized receptors with antibody-like binding properties, have significant advantages in separating structural analogues. However, the harsh imprinting conditions easily induced the degradation of chlorogenic acid. Therefore, caffeic acid was used as an epitope template to replace chlorogenic acid for imprinting. Boronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were selected as substrates, which could not only facilitate the immobilization and removal of the templates by pH regulation, but also achieve rapid separation under an external magnetic field. Tetraethyl orthosilicate was selected as an imprinting monomer which allowed for precise control of the thickness of the imprinting layer by adjusting the imprinting time. The prepared epitope-imprinted MNPs showed excellent specificity, in combination with high performance liquid chromatography, have been successfully applied to the selective separation and detection of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid in TCMs.

Abstract
Developing and preparing novel protein-imprinted nanomaterials with high recognition ability remains challenging because it is difficult to controllably and orderly design and arrange functional groups on the imprinted polymer layers of protein-imprinted nanomaterials to improve their protein identification. Herein, we present a new technology using rationally designed polythiolactone-decorated magnetic nanospheres as the precursor of multifunctionalized imprinted materials. Moreover, the strategy of ring-opening the polythiolactione layers using primary amines with terminal alcohols, acids and pyrrolidines introduces abundant recognition sites, which enhance the recognition for template proteins through multiple hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Thiols generated in situ by the ring-opening reaction provide sufficient crosslinking sites proximate to each recognition site for the formation of imprinting cavities, endowing the imprinted nanospheres with promising regulation capabilities. Based on the rational design, the imprinted nanospheres can be prepared conveniently and present tunable rebinding capacity and specificity for bovine serum albumin (BSA). The maximum saturated rebinding capacity of imprinted materials for BSA is up to 285 ± 15 mg g-1 and the highest imprinting factor reaches 5.79. The simple and versatile strategy demonstrated in this study shows promise for the design of other protein-imprinted materials with high recognition ability.

Abstract
Detection of immunoglobulins (Igs) is of clinical significance for early diagnosis and timely treatment of diseases. Herein, a dual-template molecularly imprinted (DTMI) electrochemical biosensor was developed for IgG-IgM combined assay. In this DTMI electrochemical biosensor, Prussian blue (PB) and thionine (TH) decorated on graphene oxide (GO) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), respectively, were utilized as the dual-signal probes, and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used for Igs anchoring and signal amplification. Polypyrrole (PPy) was electrodeposited on the biosensor surface and acted as the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). After the removal of the IgG and IgM templates, the resultant DTMI electrochemical biosensor was used for IgG-IgM combined assay, and the concentrations of IgG and IgM could be indicated by the changes in the peak currents of PB (ΔIPB) and TH (ΔITH), respectively. The DTMI electrochemical biosensor displayed a wide linear range and a low limit of detection (LOD) for both IgG (28.80 pg mL-1) and IgM (0.58 pg mL-1). Finally, the developed DTMI biosensor was used for IgG-IgM combined assay in clinical serum samples, and the results were comparable to those obtained by conventional immunoturbidimetry, implying its great potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic molecules on Earth and glycosylation is the most common posttranslational modification of proteins. Glycans are involved in a plethora of biological processes including cell adhesion, bacterial and viral infection, inflammation, and cancer development. Coincidently, glycosides were some of the earliest molecules imprinted and have been instrumental in the development of covalent molecular imprinting technology. This perspective illustrates recently developed molecularly imprinted materials for glycan binding and processing. Novel imprinting techniques and postmodification led to development of synthetic glycan-binding materials capable of competing with natural lectins in affinity and artificial glycosidases for selective hydrolysis of complex glycans. These materials are expected to significantly advance glycochemistry, glycobiology, and related areas such as biomass conversion.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can exhibit antibody-level affinity for target molecules. However, the nonspecific adsorption of non-imprinted regions for non-target molecules limits the application range of MIPs. Herein, we fabricated PEGylated boronate-affinity-oriented ellagic acid-imprinting magnetic nanoparticles (PBEMN), which first integrated boronate-affinity-oriented surface imprinting and sequential PEGylation for small molecule-imprinted MIPs. The resultant PBEMN possess higher adsorption capacity and faster adsorption rate for template ellagic acid (EA) molecules than the non-PEGylated control. To prove the excellent performance, the PBEMN were linked with hydrophilic boronic acid-modified/fluorescein isothiocyanate-loaded graphene oxide (BFGO), because BFGO could selectively label cis-diol-containing substances by boronate-affinity and output ultrasensitive fluorescent signals. Based on a dual boronate-affinity synergy, the PBEMN first selectively captured EA molecules by boronate-affinity-oriented molecular imprinted recognition, and then the EA molecules were further labeled with BFGO through boronate-affinity. The PBEMN linked BFGO (PBPF) strategy provided ultrahigh sensitivity for EA molecules with a limit of detection of 39.1 fg mL-1, resulting from the low nonspecific adsorption of PBEMN and the ultrasensitive fluorescence signal of BFGO. Lastly, the PBPF strategy was successfully employed in the determination of EA concentration in a spiked beverage sample with recovery and relative standard deviation in the range of 96.5 to 104.2% and 3.8 to 5.1%, respectively. This work demonstrates that the integration of boronate-affinity-oriented surface imprinting and sequential PEGylation may be a universal tool for improving the performance of MIPs.

Abstract
In order to prepare a kind of efficient fluorescence sensors for determination of cis-diol-containing flavonoids, novel imprinted quantum dots for myricetin (Myr) were prepared based on boronate affinity-based template-immobilization surface imprinting. The obtained boronate affinity-based surface imprinted silica (imprinted APBA-functionalized CdTe QDs) was used as recognition elements. The quantum dots were used as signal-transduction materials. Under the optimum conditions, according to fluorescence quenching of imprinted APBA-functionalized CdTe QDs by Myr, the imprinting factor (IF) for Myr was evaluated to be 7.88. The result indicated that the boronate affinity functionalized quantum dots coated with imprinted silica were successfully prepared. The prepared imprinted APBA-functionalized CdTe QDs exhibited good sensitivity and selectivity for Myr. The fluorescence intensity was inversely proportional to the concentration of Myr in the 0.30-40 μM concentration range. And its detection limit was obtained to be 0.08 μM. Using the fluorescence sensors, the detection of Myr in real samples was successfully carried out, and the concentration of Myr in green tea and apple juice samples was evaluated to be 2.26 mg/g and 0.73 mg/g, respectively. The recoveries for the spiked green tea and apple juice samples were 95.2-105.0% and 91.5-111.0%, respectively. This study also provides an efficient fluorescent detection method for cis-diol-containing flavonoids in real samples.

Abstract
The molecular imprinting technique (MIT), also described as the "lock to key" method, has been demonstrated as an effective tool for the creation of synthetic polymers with antibody-like sites to specifically recognize target molecules. To date, most successful molecular imprinting researches were limited to small molecules (<1500 Da); biomacromolecule (especially protein) imprinting remains a serious challenge due to their large size, chemical and structural complexity, and environmental instability. Nevertheless, protein imprinting has achieved some significant breakthroughs in imprinting methods and applications over the past decade. Some special protein-imprinted materials with outstanding properties have been developed and exhibited excellent potential in several advanced fields such as separation and purification, proteomics, biomarker detection, bioimaging and therapy. In this review, we critically and comprehensively surveyed the recent advances in protein imprinting, particularly emphasizing the significant progress in imprinting methods and highlighted applications. Finally, we summarize the major challenges remaining in protein imprinting and propose its development direction in the near future.

A surface protein-imprinted biosensor based on boronate affinity for the detection of anti-human immunoglobulin G. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:106.

Abstract
A surface protein-imprinted biosensor was constructed on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for the detection of anti-human immunoglobulin G (anti-IgG). The SPCE was successively decorated with aminated graphene (NH2-G) and gold nanobipyramids (AuNBs) for signal amplification. Then 4-mercaptophenylboric acid (4-MPBA) was covalently anchored to the surface of AuNBs for capturing anti-IgG template through boronate affinity binding. The decorated SPCE was then deposited with an imprinting layer generated by the electropolymerization of pyrrole. After removal of the anti-IgG template by the dissociation of the boronate ester in an acidic solution, three-dimensional (3D) cavities complementary to the anti-IgG template were formed in the imprinting layer of polypyrrole (PPy). The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP)-based biosensor was used for the detection of anti-IgG, exhibiting a wide linear range from 0.05 to 100 ng mL−1 and a low limit of detection of 0.017 ng mL−1 (S/N = 3). In addition, the MIP-based anti-IgG biosensor also shows high selectivity, reproducibility and stability. Finally, the practicability of the fabricated anti-IgG biosensor was demonstrated by accurate determination of anti-IgG in serum sample.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), as important mimics of antibodies, are chemically synthesized by polymerization in the presence of a target compound. MIPs have found wide applications in important fileds. However, the current molecular imprinting technology suffers from a dilemma; there is often a compromise between the best affinity and the best specificity for MIPs prepared under optimized conditions. Herein, we proposed a new strategy called molecular imprinting and cladding (MIC) to solve this issue. The principle is straightforward; after molecular imprinting, a chemically inert cladding thinlayer is generated to precisely cover non-imprinted area. We further proposed a special MIC approach for controllably engineering protein binders. The prepared cladded MIPs (cMIPs) exhibited significantly improved affinity and specificity. The general applicability of the proposed strategy and method was verified by engineering of cMIPs for the recognition of a variety of different proteins. The feasibility of cMIPs for real applications was demonstrated by fluorescence imaging of cancer cells against normal cells and immunoassay of C-peptide in human urine. This study opened up a new avenue for controllably engineering protein-specific antibody mimics with excellent recognition properties, holding great prospective in important applications such as disease diagnosis and nanomedicine.

Abstract
Rapid, selective, and cost-effective detection and determination of clinically relevant biomolecule analytes for a better understanding of biological and physiological functions are becoming increasingly prominent. In this regard, biosensors represent a powerful tool to meet these requirements. Recent decades have seen biosensors gaining popularity due to their ability to design sensor platforms that are selective to determine target analytes. Naturally generated receptor units have a high affinity for their targets, which provides the selectivity of a device. However, such receptors are subject to instability under harsh environmental conditions and have consequently low durability. By applying principles of supramolecular chemistry, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can successfully replace natural receptors to circumvent these shortcomings. This review summarizes the recent achievements and analytical applications of electrosynthesized MIPs, in particular, for the detection of protein-based biomarkers. The scope of this review also includes the background behind electrochemical readouts and the origin of the gate effect in MIP-based biosensors.

Abstract
Although protein therapeutics is of significance in therapeutic intervention of cancers, controlled delivery of therapeutic proteins still faces substantial challenges including susceptibility to degradation and denaturation and poor membrane permeability. Herein, we report a sialic acid (SA)-imprinted biodegradable silica nanoparticles (BS-NPs)-based protein delivery strategy for targeted cancer therapy. Cytotoxic ribonuclease A (RNase A) was effectively caged in the matrix of disulfide-hybridized silica NPs (encapsulation efficiency of ∼64%), which were further functionalized with cancer targeting capability via surface imprinting with SA as imprinting template. Such nanovectors could not only maintain high stability in physiological conditions but also permit redox-triggered biodegradation for both concomitant release of the loaded therapeutic cargo and in vivo clearance. In vitro experiments confirmed that the SA-imprinted RNase A@BS-NPs could selectively target SA-overexpressed tumor cells, promote cells uptake, and subsequently be cleaved by intracellular glutathione (GSH), resulting in rapid release kinetics and enhanced cell cytotoxicity. In vivo experiments further confirmed that the SA-imprinted RNase A@BS-NPs had specific tumor-targeting ability and high therapeutic efficacy of RNase A in xenograft tumor model. Due to the specific targeting and traceless GSH-stimulated intracellular protein release, the SA-imprinted BS-NPs provided a promising platform for the delivery of biomacromolecules in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Many strategies have been reported for the preparation of glycoproteins imprinted polymers, but they take a long time and cannot produce imprinted polymers continuously. Herein, a microfluidic synthesis approach was developed to make glycoproteins imprinted nanospheres rapidly and continuously. By using ovalbumin as a model template and a synthesized phenylboronic acid-tagged silane reagent as the functional monomer, the synthetic conditions including the polymerization contents, the flow rate and the microfluidic reactor size were comprehensively studied. Under the optimized conditions, the glycoprotein imprinted nanospheres could be synthesized rapidly (<2 h), and exhibited high specificity with cross-reactivity factors of 1.3 (ovotransferrin), +∞ (horse-radish peroxidase), 5.1 (β-lactoglobulin) and 101 (bovine serum albumin). The kinetic and equilibrium binding behaviors, reusability and potential applications of the glycoprotein imprinted nanosphere were investigated. Such microfluidic synthesis strategy can be easily extended to produce other target glycoproteins imprinted nanospheres, as well as non-glycoproteins by using suitable functional monomers.

Abstract
Cellular heterogeneity is pervasive and of paramount importance in biology. Single-cell analysis techniques are indispensable for understanding the heterogeneity and functions of cells. Low-copy-number proteins (fewer than 1,000 molecules per cell) perform multiple crucial functions such as gene expression, cellular metabolism and cell signaling. The expression level of low-copy-number proteins of individual cells provides key information for the in-depth understanding of biological processes and diseases. However, the quantitative analysis of low-copy-number proteins in a single cell still remains challenging. To overcome this, we developed an approach called single-cell plasmonic immunosandwich assay (scPISA) for the quantitative measurement of low-copy-number proteins in single living cells. scPISA combines in vivo microextraction for specific enrichment of target proteins from cells and a state-of-the-art technique called plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering for ultrasensitive detection of low-copy-number proteins. Plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering detection relies on the plasmonic coupling effect (hot-spot) between silver-based plasmonic nanotags and a gold-based extraction microprobe, which dramatically enhances the signal intensity of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering of the nanotags and thereby enables sensitivity at the single-molecule level. scPISA is a straightforward and minimally invasive technique, taking only ~6-15 min (from in vivo extraction to Raman spectrum readout). It is generally applicable to all freely floating intracellular proteins provided that appropriate antibodies or alternatives (for example, molecularly imprinted polymers or aptamers) are available. The entire protocol takes ~4-7 d to complete, including material fabrication, single-cell manipulation, protein labeling, signal acquisition and data analysis.

Abstract
Interferons are important biomolecules in human immune system. Cytokine interferon alpha (IFN-α), a type I interferon, is one of the major components of the innate immune response involved in autoimmune diseases. Thus, the analysis of interferons is of great importance for both biological and pharmaceutical purposes. In this work, an IFN-α specific plastic antibody is prepared via boronate affinity oriented surface imprinting. By combing with the magnetic nanoparticles, the imprinted material exhibits several advantages, including strong affinity (Kd: 75.2 nM), high specificity (cross reactivity<25%), excellent efficiency (imprinting efficiency: 44.1%), tolerance to interferences, and easy manipulation. By employing the prepared imprinted material as sorbent for selective enrichment of IFN-α, a good linearity is achieved in the range of 50 ng/mL-10 μg/mL, and the detection and quantifcation limits are 10 ng/mL and 50 ng/mL respectively. The recoveries of this approach are found within 75.8%-82.2% with relative standard deviations of 6.4-9.7%. Furthermore, the IFN-α in spiked human serum is analyzed with acceptable reliability (recovery: 77.3%, RSD: 7.9%). Because of these highly desirable properties, the IFN-α specific plastic antibody can find more applications in medical and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Tissue Engineering (TE) represents a promising solution to fabricate engineered constructs able to restore tissue damage after implantation. In the classic TE approach, biomaterials are used alongside growth factors to create a scaffolding structure that supports cells during the construct maturation. A current challenge in TE is the creation of engineered constructs able to mimic the complex microenvironment found in the natural tissue, so as to promote and guide cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. In this context, the introduction inside the scaffold of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)—synthetic receptors able to reversibly bind to biomolecules—holds great promise to enhance the scaffold-cell interaction. In this review, we analyze the main strategies that have been used for MIP design and fabrication with a particular focus on biomedical research. Furthermore, to highlight the potential of MIPs for scaffold-based TE, we present recent examples on how MIPs have been used in TE to introduce biophysical cues as well as for drug delivery and sequestering.

Abstract
In this Review, we have summarized recent trends in protein template imprinting. We emphasized a new trend in surface imprinting, namely, oriented protein immobilization. Site-directed proteins were assembled through specially selected functionalities. These efforts resulted in a preferably oriented homogeneous protein construct with decreased protein conformation changes during imprinting. Moreover, the maximum functionality for protein recognition was utilized. Various strategies were exploited for oriented protein immobilization, including covalent immobilization through a boronic acid group, metal coordinating center, and aptamer-based immobilization. Moreover, we have discussed the involvement of semicovalent as well as covalent imprinting. Interestingly, these approaches provided additional recognition sites in the molecular cavities imprinted. Therefore, these molecular cavities were highly selective, and the binding kinetics was improved.

Abstract
Abnormal glycan structures are valuable biomarkers for disease states; the development of glycan-specific binders is thereby significantly important. However, the structural homology and weak immunogenicity of glycans pose major hurdles in the evolution of antibodies, while the poor availability of complex glycans also has extremely hindered the selection of anti-glycan aptamers. Herein, we present a new approach to efficiently screen aptamers toward specific glycans with a complex structure, using a glycosylated peptide as a scaffold. In this method, using peptide-imprinted magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a versatile platform, a glycopeptide tryptically digested from a native glycoprotein was selectively entrapped for positive selection, while a nonglycosylated analogue with an identical peptide sequence was synthesized for negative selection. Alternating positive and negative selection steps were carried out to guide the directed evolution of glycan-binding aptamers. As proof of the principle, the biantennary digalactosylated disialylated N-glycan A2G2S2, against which there have been no antibodies and lectins so far, was employed as the target. With the glycoprotein transferrin as a source of target glycan, two satisfied anti-A2G2S2 aptamers were selected within seven rounds. Since A2G2S2 is upregulated in cancerous liver cells, carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled aptamers were prepared as fluorescent imaging reagents, and successful differentiation of cancerous liver cells over normal liver cells was achieved, which demonstrated the application feasibility of the selected aptamers. This approach obviated a tedious glycan preparation process and allowed favorable expose of the intrinsic flexible conformation of natural glycans. Therefore, it holds great promise for developing glycan-specific aptamers for challenging applications such as cancer targeting.
