Abstract
The misregulation of protein phosphatases is a key factor in the development of many human diseases, notably cancers. Here, based on a 100 MHz quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensing platform, the dephosphorylation process of phosphopeptide (P-peptide) caused by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was monitored in real time for the first time and PTP1B activity was assayed rapidly and sensitively. The QCM chip, coated with a gold (Au) film, was used to immobilized thiol-labeled single-stranded 5'-phosphate-DNAs (P-DNA) through Au-S bond. The P-peptide, specific to PTP1B, was then connected to the P-DNA via chelation between Zr4+ and phosphate groups. When PTP1B was injected into the QCM flow cell where the P-peptide/Zr4+/MCH/P-DNA/Au chip was placed, the P-peptide was dephosphorylated and released from the Au chip surface, resulting in an increase in the frequency of the QCM Au chip. This allowed the real-time monitoring of the P-peptide dephosphorylation process and sensitive detection of PTP1B activity within 6 min with a linear detection range of 0.01-100 pM and a detection limit of 0.008 pM. In addition, the maximum inhibitory ratios of inhibitors were evaluated using this proposed 100 MHz QCM biosensor. The developed 100 MHz QCM biosensing platform shows immense potential for early diagnosis of diseases related to protein phosphatases and the development of drugs targeting protein phosphatases.

Abstract
The abnormal expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is highly related to several serious human diseases. Therefore, an accurate PTP1B activity assay is beneficial to the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. In this study, a dual-mode biosensing platform that enabled the sensitive and accurate assay of PTP1B activity was constructed based on the high-frequency (100 MHz) quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and dual-signaling electrochemical (EC) ratiometric strategy. Covalent-organic framework@gold nanoparticles@ferrocene@single-strand DNA (COF@Au@Fc-S0) was introduced onto the QCM Au chip via the chelation between Zr4+ and phosphate groups (phosphate group of the phosphopeptide (P-peptide) on the QCM Au chip and the phosphate group of thiol-labeled single-stranded DNA (S0) on COF@Au@Fc-S0) and used as a signal reporter. When PTP1B was present, the dephosphorylation of the P-peptide led to the release of COF@Au@Fc-S0 from the QCM Au chip, resulting in an increase in the frequency of the QCM. Meanwhile, the released COF@Au@Fc-S0 hybridized with thiol/methylene blue (MB)-labeled hairpin DNA (S1-MB) on the Au NPs-modified indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. This caused MB to be far away from the electrode surface and Fc to be close to the electrode, leading to a decrease in the oxidation peak current of MB and an increase in the oxidation peak current of Fc. Thus, PTP1B-induced dephosphorylation of the P-peptide was monitored in real time by QCM, and PTP1B activity was detected sensitively and reliably using this innovative QCM-EC dual-mode sensing platform with an ultralow detection limit. This platform is anticipated to serve as a robust tool for the analysis of protein phosphatase activity and the discovery of drugs targeting protein phosphatase.

Abstract
This paper presents a new fluorescent approach for the detection of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) based on titanium dioxide-decorated single-wall carbon nanohorns (TiO2-SWCNHs). The novel TiO2-SWCNHs nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized for the first time and the phosphorylated peptide as the substrate of PTP1B was designed. Properties of SWCNHs and TiO2 were combined by growing nano-sized TiO2 particles on SWCNHs, resulting in TiO2-SWCNHs. TiO2 provides SWCNHs a large adsorption surface area and can specifically bind to phosphopeptide substrate. TiO2-SWCNHs effectively quenched the fluorescence of the phosphorylated peptide substrate labeled by the fluorophore, and the system had a low fluorescence background. In the presence of PTP1B, dephosphorylation of the peptide occurred owing to the reaction between PTP1B and the peptide, causing the separation of the dye-labeled peptide from TiO2-SWCNHs, which resulted in fluorescence enhancement of the reaction system. Thus, a simple and rapid strategy for the detection of PTP1B activity was developed, with a detection limit of 0.01 ng/mL and linear range of 0-10 ng/mL. The system can be used to detect PTP1B in serum using the standard addition method. This system provides a new approach for screening PTP1B inhibitors.

Abstract
Dysregulation of protein phosphatases is associated with the progression of various human diseases and cancers. Herein, a photoelectrochemical (PEC)-quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) dual-mode sensing platform was developed for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activity assay based on bifunctional magnetic Fe3O4@Cu2O@TiO2 nanosphere-mediated PEC photocurrent polarity switching and QCM signal amplification strategies. The PTP1B-specific phosphopeptide (P-peptide) with a cysteine end was designed and immobilized onto the QCM Au chip via the Au-S bond. Subsequently, the Fe3O4@Cu2O@TiO2 nanosphere was connected to the P-peptide via the specific interaction between the phosphate group on the P-peptide and TiO2. After incubation with PTP1B, the dephosphorylation of the P-peptide occurred, causing some Fe3O4@Cu2O@TiO2 nanospheres to be released from the chip surface. The released magnetic Fe3O4@Cu2O@TiO2 nanospheres (labeled as R-Fe3O4@Cu2O@TiO2) were quickly separated via magnetic separation technology and attached to the Bi2S3-decorated magnetic indium-tin oxide (Bi2S3/MITO) electrode by magnetic force, inducing the switch of the photocurrent polarity of the electrode from anodic current (the Bi2S3/MITO electrode) to cathodic current (the R-Fe3O4@Cu2O@TiO2/Bi2S3/MITO electrode). Also, the nondephosphorylated P-peptide linked Fe3O4@Cu2O@TiO2 nanospheres as nanozymes with horseradish peroxidase activity to catalyze the formation of precipitation on the surface of the Au chip, leading to a frequency change of the QCM. Thus, the proposed PEC-QCM dual-mode sensing platform achieved accurate and reliable assay of PTP1B activity because of the different mechanisms and independent signal transductions. In addition, this dual-mode sensing platform can be easily extended for other protein phosphatase activity analysis and shows great potential in the early diagnosis of the protein phosphatase-related diseases and the protein phosphatase-targeted drug discovery.
