Abstract
The spread of COVID-19 has caused huge economic losses and irreversible social impact. Therefore, to successfully prevent the spread of the virus and solve public health problems, it is urgent to develop detection methods with high sensitivity and accuracy. However, existing detection methods are time-consuming, rely on instruments, and require skilled operators, making rapid detection challenging to implement. Biosensors based on fluorescent nanoparticles have attracted interest in the field of detection because of their advantages, such as high sensitivity, low detection limit, and simple result readout. In this review, we systematically describe the synthesis, intrinsic advantages, and applications of organic dye-doped fluorescent nanoparticles, metal nanoclusters, up-conversion particles, quantum dots, carbon dots, and others for virus detection. Furthermore, future research initiatives are highlighted, including green production of fluorescent nanoparticles with high quantum yield, speedy signal reading by integrating with intelligent information, and error reduction by coupling with numerous fluorescent nanoparticles.

Abstract
Various infectious viruses have been posing a major threat to global public health, especially SARS-CoV-2, which has already claimed more than six million lives up to now. Tremendous efforts have been made to develop effective techniques for rapid and reliable pathogen detection. The unique characteristics of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) pose numerous advantages when employed in biosensors, and they are a promising candidate for virus detection. Herein, this Review will discuss the recent advancement in the UCNP-based biosensors for virus and biomarkers detection. We summarize four basic principles that guide the design of UCNP-based biosensors, which are utilized with luminescent or electric responses as output signals. These strategies under fundamental mechanisms facilitate the enhancement of the sensitivity of UCNP-based biosensors. Moreover, a detailed discussion and benefits of applying UCNP in various virus bioassays will be presented. We will also address some obstacles in these detection techniques and suggest routes for progress in the field. These progressions will undoubtedly pose UCNP-based biosensors in a prominent position for providing a convenient, alternative approach to virus detection.

Enhancement effect of 2, 3-dimethyl maleic acid on luminol chemiluminescence reactions and its application in detection of sequence-specific DNA related to hepatitis B virus. Talanta 2022; 250:123724. [PMID: 35839608 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2022.123724] [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: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/03/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
2, 3-dimethyl maleic acid (DMMA) was found to enhance luminol-H2O2 chemiluminescent (CL) reactions, among which the strongest enhancement effect was observed by using polyethyleneimine-templated gold nanoclusters (PEI-Au NCs) as the catalyst. With the addition of DMMA, the CL signal of the PEI-Au NCs-catalyzed luminol-H2O2 reaction enhanced about 630-fold, and a flash-type CL profile was obtained. Mechanism studies showed that the luminophore was still 3-aminophthalate anions in the excited state (3-APA*), and superoxide radical (O2·-) played an important role during the CL process. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the lowest concentration of PEI-Au NCs can be detected was 0.168 nM which was 82-fold lower than that without an enhancer. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of biotinylated PEI-Au NCs in the DMMA-enhanced luminol system was similar to PEI-Au NCs, providing a good opportunity for the development of CL bioanalysis platforms using PEI-Au NCs as the label. Thus, the DMMA-enhanced luminol-H2O2 system was applied to the CL detection of sequence-specific DNA related to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) using PEI-Au NCs as the label. The CL platform exhibited linearly enhanced CL response with the increasing amount of target DNA ranging from 0.0025 to 0.5 pmol. As low as 0.002 pmol of HBV DNA could be sensitively detected, which was superior to the previously reported methods.

Abstract
Detection of copper plays a prominent role in the environmental protection and human health. Herein, we firstly design and construct an "off-on" upconversion fluorescence resonance energy transfer (UFRET) probe with low toxicity for the Cu2+ determination by using NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and Au NPs. UCNPs with positive charge and Au NPs with negative charge are respectively employed as the donor and acceptor, and bound together to form UFRET probe. The upconversion fluorescence quenching of UCNPs occurs by Au NPs through FRET (defined as "off" state). When Cu2+ exists in samples, Cu2+ reacts with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) capped on the surface of Au NPs to make Au NPs detach from UCNPs, leading to the termination of FRET and the recovery of upconversion fluorescence (defined as "on" state). "Off-on" typed UFRET probe has excellent sensing performances, including linear range of 0.02-1 μM Cu2+ concentration, the limit of detection of 18.2 nM, high selectivity to Cu2+ and good recovery. The probe has been successfully used to determine Cu2+ in spiked tap water with satisfactory results. The probe will provide theoretical and technical support for the design of new sensitive heavy metal ion detection probe.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), characterized by converting low-energy excitation to high-energy emission, have attracted considerable interest due to their inherent advantages of large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp and narrow multicolor emissions, negligible autofluorescence background interference, and excellent chemical- and photo-stability. These features make them promising luminophores for sensing applications. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanophosphors including the fundamental principle for the construction of UCNPs with efficient upconversion luminescence (UCL), followed by state-of-the-art strategies for the synthesis and surface modification of UCNPs, and finally describing current advances in the sensing application of upconversion-based probes for the quantitative analysis of various analytes including pH, ions, molecules, bacteria, reactive species, temperature, and pressure.

Abstract
Early detection is one of the ways to deal with DNA virus widespread prevalence, and it is necessary to know new diagnostic methods and techniques. Colorimetric assays are one of the most advantageous methods in detecting viruses. These methods are based on color change, which can be seen either with the naked eye or with special devices. The aim of this study is to introduce and evaluate effective colorimetric methods based on amplification, nanoparticle, CRISPR/Cas, and Lateral flow in the diagnosis of DNA viruses and to discuss the effectiveness of each of the updated methods. Compared to the other methods, colorimetric assays are preferred for faster detection, high efficiency, cheaper cost, and high sensitivity and specificity. It is expected that the spread of these viruses can be prevented by identifying and developing new methods.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have emerged as promising luminescent nanomaterials due to their unique features that allow the overcoming of several problems associated with conventional fluorescent probes. Although UCNPs have been used in a broad range of applications, it is probably in the field of sensing where they best evidence their potential. UCNP-based sensors have been designed with high sensitivity and selectivity, for detection and quantification of multiple analytes ranging from metal ions to biomolecules. In this review, we deeply explore the use of UCNPs in sensing systems emphasizing the most relevant and recent studies on the topic and explaining how these platforms are constructed. Before diving into UCNP-based sensing platforms it is important to understand the unique characteristics of these nanoparticles, why they are attracting so much attention, and the most significant interactions occurring between UCNPs and additional probes. These points are covered over the first two sections of the article and then we explore the types of fluorescent responses, the possible analytes, and the UCNPs' integration with various material types such as gold nanostructures, quantum dots and dyes. All the topics are supported by analysis of recently reported sensors, focusing on how they are built, the materials' interactions, the involved synthesis and functionalization mechanisms, and the conjugation strategies. Finally, we explore the use of UCNPs in paper-based sensors and how these platforms are paving the way for the development of new point-of-care devices.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the global healthcare burdens, and its early diagnosis is crucial for the prevention of HBV-induced chronic hepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although different detection approaches have been reported, most of these methods either rely on sophisticated machines or procedures, which limit their use particularly in the high endemic, developing countries. In this work, we report a dual-sensing nanoplatform built on noble metal-molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanohybrids, and this platform can detect the HBV DNA target through either fluorometric or colorimetric readouts. The design with the silver nanocluster (AgNC)-MoS2 nanohybrid enables multiplex fluorescent detection, while the HBV DNA-regulated growth of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) on the MoS2 nanosheets offers signal-on colorimetric detection. Both AgNC-MoS2 and PtNP-MoS2 nanohybrids show high sensitivity with pico-molar detection limit and single nucleotide specificity, even with the spiked human serum. Collectively, the proposed nanohybrids possess their potential in the use of early HBV diagnosis, particularly suitable for the high endemic areas with limited medical and instrumental supports.

[PMID: 32928407 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
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
Vaspin is a protein present in human serum that can cause type-2 diabetes, obesity, and other cardiovascular diseases. We report fluorescent upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs)-based lateral flow biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of Vaspin. A pair (primary and secondary) of cognate aptamers was used that has duo binding with Vaspin. UCNPs with a diameter of around 100 nm were used as a tag to label a detection probe (secondary aptamer). A primary aptamer (capture probe) was immobilized on the test zone. Sandwich type hybridization reactions among the conjugate probe, target Vaspin, and primary aptamer were performed on the lateral flow biosensor. In the presence of target Vaspin, UCNPs were captured on the test zone of the biosensor and the fluorescent intensity of the captured UCNPs was measured through a colorimetric app under NIR. Fluorescence intensity indicates the quantity of Vaspin present in the sample. A range of Vaspin concentration across 0.1-55 ng ml-1 with a Limit of detection (LOD) 39 pg ml-1 was tested through this UCNPs based LFSA with high sensitivity, reproducibility and repeatability, whereas it's actual range in human blood is from 0.1 to 7 ng ml-1. Therefore, this research provides a well-suited lateral flow strip with an ultrasensitive and low-cost approach for the early diagnosis of type-2 diabetes and this could be applied to any targets with a duo of aptamers generated.

Abstract
An aptamer based fluorometric assay is presented for fast and accurate detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). It is making use of platinum-coated gold nanorods (AuNR@Pt) and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). The aptamer against SEB is immobilized on AuNR@Pt while the complementary DNA fragment of SEB aptamer is immobilized on UCNPs. As the concentration of SEB increases, the fluorescence of the satellite assembly (AuNR@Pt-UCNPs) is gradually restored. Under the optimized conditions, fluorescence (best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 980/543 nm) linearly increases in the 2.0-400 pg·mL-1 SEB concentration range. The limit of detection is as low as 0.9 pg·mL-1 (at an S/N of 3), significantly lower than existing methods. The method was applied to the determination of SEB in spiked milk samples. The average recoveries ranged from 91.2% to 104.6%, confirming the practicality of this method. Graphical abstract Schematic illustration of a fluorometric assay based on inner filter effect (IFE) between platinum coated gold nanorods (AuNR@Pt) and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for the determination of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB).

Abstract
Intracellular microRNAs imaging based on upconversion nanoprobes has great potential in cancer diagnostics and treatments. However, the relatively low detection sensitivity limits their application. Herein, a lock-like DNA (LLD) generated by a hairpin DNA (H1) hybridizing with a bolt DNA (bDNA) sequence is designed, which is used to program upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs, NaYF4 @NaYF4 :Yb, Er@NaYF4 ) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The upconversion emission is quenched through luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET). The multiple LLD can be repeatedly opened by one copy of target microRNA under the aid of fuel hairpin DNA strands (H2) to trigger disassembly of AuNPs from the UCNP, resulting in the lighting up of UCNPs with a high detection signal gain. This strategy is verified using microRNA-21 as model. The expression level of microRNA-21 in various cells lines can be sensitively measured in vitro, meanwhile cancer cells and normal cells can be easily and accurately distinguished by intracellular microRNA-21 imaging via the nanoprobes. The detection limit is about 1000 times lower than that of the previously reported upconversion nanoprobes without signal amplification. This is the first time a nonenzymatic signal amplification method has been combined with UCNPs for imaging intracellular microRNAs, which has great potential for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The authors describe an electrochemical method for the determination of the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oligonucleotide with a sequence derived from the genom of hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is making use of circular strand displacement (CSD) and rolling circle amplification (RCA) strategies mediated by a molecular beacon (MB). This ssDNA hybridizes with the loop portion of the MB immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode, while primer DNA also hybridizes with the rest of partial DNA sequences of MB. This triggers the MB-mediated CSD. The RCA is then initiated to produce a long DNA strand with multiple tandem-repeat sequences, and this results in a significant increase of the differential pulse voltammetric response of the electrochemical probe Methylene Blue at a rather low working potential of -0.24 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Under optimal experimental conditions, the assay displays an ultrahigh sensitivity (with a 2.6 aM detection limit) and excellent selectivity. Response is linear in the 10 to 700 aM DNA concentration range. Graphical abstract Schematic of a voltammetric method for the determination of attomolar levels of target DNA.

Abstract
Here, a sensitive and universal noncoding RNA (ncRNA) upconversion sensing nanoplatform is developed. Gold nanoparticles bearing one hairpin DNA (Hp) molecule are conjugated to the linker DNA modified NaYF4 :Yb, Er@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles by DNA hybridization, leading to quenching of the upconversion emission through fluorescence resonance energy transfer. A signal DNA (SDNA) sequence is designed to open Hp, recovering the upconversion emission. To achieve universality and high sensitivity of the nanoprobe, an exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted cycling amplification strategy is introduced. A multifunctional hairpin DNA (mHp) containing ncRNA recognition sequence and SDNA sequence is designed to recognize ncRNA and trigger Exo III as a biocatalyst to stepwise disintegrate itself, releasing both ncRNA and SDNA. The released ncRNA can be reused to release more SDNA, which greatly improves the sensing sensitivity. By changing the recognition portion of mHp, various ncRNA can be detected. The sensitive detection of both homeobox (HOX) transcript antisense RNA segment and miR-21 is achieved with this novel strategy, even in human serum, indicating the universality and sensitivity of the proposed strategy. Additionally, the expression level of miR-21 in human breast cancer cell (MCF-7) lysate is successfully measured, suggesting its potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
An “on–off–on” fluorescent phosphorus/nitrogen co-doped carbon dot (PNCD) probe was explored for the determination of Cr(vi) and dopamine resulting from the inner filter effect (IFE). The blue-emitting carbon dots with high quantum yields of 25.47% as well as a narrow size distribution were synthesized by a rapid, convenient route using H3PO4 and ethylenediamine as the precursors without any surface passivation. A wide linear region in the range of 7–70 μM with a detection limit of 0.71 μM was achieved for Cr(vi). Moreover, the proper reductants can weaken the inner filter effect to recover the PNCD fluorescence by converting Cr(vi) into Cr(iii). Therefore, the PNCDs/Cr(vi) hybrid could also be used as an “off–on” fluorescent probe for detecting dopamine (DA) with a detection limit of 0.49 μM. Consequently, the PNCDs could serve as a powerful fluorescent bi-sensor for detection of both Cr(vi) and DA in practical applications. An “on–off–on” fluorescent phosphorus/nitrogen co-doped carbon dot (PNCD) probe was explored for the determination of Cr(vi) and dopamine resulting from the inner filter effect (IFE).![]()

Abstract
Hematin plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, and the determination of hematin in complex biological matrixes is a significant but difficult issue. Considering the unique photophysical/photochemical properties of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) prepared with p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and ethanol, a new strategy for the design of fluorescent probes for hematin has been achieved. The proposed sensor array is fabricated based on the inner filter effect (IFE) between hematin and CQDs with phenomenon of selective fluorescence quenching of CQDs which results from the strong absorption of the excitation and emission spectrum of CQDs by hematin. The fluorescence quenching of CQDs is closely related to the amount of hematin and there is a good linear relationship over the range of 0.5-10μM with a detection limit of 0.25μM. What's more, the fluorescence assay has been successfully applied for hematin sensing in healthy human red cells showing this sensing assay has a great potential prospect for detection of hematin in the complex matrixes.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanocrystals have shown great promise in bio-detection due to their outstanding luminescent properties, including large Stokes shift and sharp emission bands. Herein, we describe an in vitro detection of STAT3 by using an all-nanocrystal biosensing system that takes advantage of inter-particle energy transfer between two types of lanthanide-doped nanocrystals. We investigate the effect of nanocrystal size on the sensing performance and find that smaller nanocrystals offer a lower detection limit and larger dynamic range. As STAT3 is identified as an oncogene aberrantly activated and expressed in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis, our study thus holds promise for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Highly sensitive solution immersed silicon (SIS) biosensors were developed for detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the early stage. The ultrasensitivity for overlayer thickness at the nonreflecting condition for the p-polarized wave is the basis of SIS sensing technology. The change in thickness due to biomolecular interactions and change in refractive index of the surrounding buffer medium were assessed simultaneously using two separate ellipsometric parameters (Ψ and Δ), respectively, from a single sensing spot. A direct antigen-antibody affinity assay was used to detect and quantify hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), which is the early stage biomarker for HBV infection. The detection limit of 10 pg/ml was achieved for HBsAg in the human blood serum, which is comparable with the results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and other hybrid assays. The SIS sensor's response time was less than 10 min. The SIS sensors exhibit excellent stability and high signal-to-noise ratio, and are cost-effective, which makes them a suitable candidate for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Aberrant methylation of a crucial CpG island is the main mechanism for the inactivation of CDKN2A in the early stages of carcinogenesis. Therefore, the detection of DNA methylation with high sensitivity and specificity is important, and various detection methods have been developed. Recently, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been found to display a high signal-to-noise ratio and no photobleaching, making them useful for diagnostic applications. In this pilot study, we applied UCNPs to the detection of CDKN2A methylation and evaluated the feasibility of this system for use in molecular diagnostics. DNA PCR was performed using biotinylated primers, and the PCR amplicon was then intercalated with SYTOX Orange dye, followed by incubation with streptavidin-conjugated UCNPs. Fluorescence detection of the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) of the UCNPs (MS-UC-FRET) was then performed, and the results were compared to those from real-time PCR (RQ-PCR) and pyrosequencing. Detection by MS-UC-FRET was more sensitive than that by either RQ-PCR or pyrosequencing. Our results confirmed the success of our MS-UC-FRET system for detecting DNA methylation and demonstrated the potential application of this system in molecular diagnostics.
