Abstract
The pattern of the activity of proteases is related to distinct physiological states of living organisms. Often activity changes of a certain protease can be assigned to a specific disease. Hence, they are useful biomarkers and a simple and fast determination method of their activity could be a valuable tool for the efficient monitoring of numerous diseases. Here, two different methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of protease activity are demonstrated using the model system of proteinase K. The first test system is based on a protein-modified and colored 3D silica structure that changes color when exposed to the enzyme. This method has also been used for the detection of matrix metallo-protease 2 (MMP2) with gelatine as protease substrate on the plates. The second detection system uses the decrease in the voltammetric signal of a cytochrome c/DNA multilayer electrode after incubation with a protease to quantitatively determine its proteolytic activity. While activities down to 0.15 U/ml can be detected with the first method, the second one provides detection limits of about 0.03U/ml (for proteinase K.) The functionality of both systems can be demonstrated and ways for further enhancement of sensitivity have been elucidated.

Abstract
The levels of the MMPs in the biological samples of confirmed patients with gastric cancer are significantly elevated compared to those found in healthy people. Therefore, a novel 3D stochastic microsensor based on graphene oxide, modified with gold nanoparticles and (Z)-N-(pyridin-4-yl-methyl) octadec-9-enamide (namely N2-AuNP/GO), was designed for the determination of MMP-2 in biological samples, and validated for the screening tests of biological samples in order to be used for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. The proposed sensor presents a low limit of quantification (1.00 × 10-22 g mL-1), high sensitivity (1.84 × 107 s-1 g-1 mL), and a wide working concentration range (1.00 × 10-22-1.00 × 10-7 g mL-1). Recovery values higher than 99.15% were recorded for the assay of MMP-2 in whole blood, gastric tissue tumors, saliva, and urine samples.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnosis is still the diagnosis of exclusion. Differentiating from other forms of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) is essential, given the various therapeutic approaches. The IPF course is now unpredictable for individual patients, although some genetic factors and several biomarkers have already been associated with various IPF prognoses. Since its early stages, IPF may be asymptomatic, leading to a delayed diagnosis. The present review critically examines the recent literature on molecular biomarkers potentially useful in IPF diagnostics. The examined biomarkers are grouped into breath and sputum biomarkers, serologically assessed extracellular matrix neoepitope markers, and oxidative stress biomarkers in lung tissue. Fibroblasts and complete blood count have also gained recent interest in that respect. Although several biomarker candidates have been profiled, there has yet to be a single biomarker that proved specific to the IPF disease. Nevertheless, various IPF biomarkers have been used in preclinical and clinical trials to verify their predictive and monitoring potential.

Abstract
This work describes the development of a novel voltammetric immunosensor for the detection of salivary MMP-8 at the point-of-care. The electrochemical platform was based on a graphene (GPH) screen-printed electrode (SPE) functionalized by gold-nanospheres (AuNSs) and antibodies against MMP-8 protein (anti-MMP-8). The functionalization with anti-MMP-8 was realized by using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA), thanks to its ability to give strong sulfur bonds with its -SH end, and to cross-link the -NH2 groups of the antibody molecule with the other -COOH end, using the traditional EDC-NHS method. The voltammetric sensor showed good performances with a linear range of 2.5-300 ng mL-1, a LOD value of 1.0 ± 0.1 ng mL-1 and a sensitivity of 0.05 µA mL cm-2 ng-1. Moreover, the proposed immunosensor was tested in real saliva samples, showing comparable results to those obtained with the conventional ELISA method. The biosensor was single-use and cost-effective and required a small quantity of test medium and a short preparation time, representing a very attractive biosensor for MMP-8 detection in human saliva.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent proteinases that are capable of cleavage of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and enzymes and play an important role in lung dysfunction. Specifically, MMP-2 is produced in the lung by alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells and other immune cells, such as macrophages. MMP-2 regulatory pathway is initiated in alveolar macrophages during acute lung injury (ALI), which may increase pulmonary inflammation. Therefore, there is a critical need for fast and reliable techniques to track the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Here, we describe near-infrared fluorescence resonance energy transfer (NI-FRET) MMP-2-based probe for the in vivo detection of ALI induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). LPS-induced MMP-2 was measured using near-infrared (NIR) imaging after 1, 2, 4, 5, and 24 h of LPS exposure. Our results were compared with the data obtained from ELISA and Western blotting, demonstrating that MMP-2 fluorescence probe provide a promising in vivo diagnostic tool for ALI/ARDS in infected mice.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive approach for the detection of endopeptidases via a new analyte-triggered mutual emancipation of linker-immobilized enzymes (AMELIE) mechanism has been developed and demonstrated using a matrix metallopeptidase, a collagenase, as the model endopeptidase analyte. AMELIE involves an autocatalytic loop created by a pair of selected enzymes immobilized on solid substrates via linkers with specific sites that can be proteolyzed by one another. These bound enzymes are spatially separated so that they cannot act upon their corresponding substrates until the introduction of the target endopeptidase analyte that can also cleave one of the linkers. This triggers the self-sustained loop of enzymatic activities to emancipate all the immobilized enzymes. In this proof of concept, signal transduction was achieved by a colorimetric horseradish peroxidase-tetramethylbenzidine (HRP-TMB-H2O2) reaction with HRP that are also being immobilized by one of the linkers. The pair of immobilized enzymes were collagenase and alginate lyase, and they were immobilized by an alginate linker and a short peptide chain containing the amino acid sequence of Leu-Gly-Pro-Ala for collagenase. A detection limit of 2.5 pg collagenase mL-1 with a wide linear range up to 4 orders of magnitude was achieved. The AMELIE biosensor can detect extracellular collagenase in the supernatant of various bacteria cultures, with a sensitivity as low as 103 cfu mL-1 of E. coli. AMELIE can readily be adapted to provide the sensitive detection of other endopeptidases.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a worldwide health concern. The pathophysiological features of ALI/ARDS include a pulmonary immunological response. The development of a rapid and low-cost biosensing platform for the detection of ARDS is urgently needed. In this study, we report the development of a paper-based multiplexed sensing platform to detect human NE, PR3 and MMP-2 proteases. Through monitoring the three proteases in infected mice after the intra-nasal administration of LPS, we showed that these proteases played an essential role in ALI/ARDS. The paper-based sensor utilized a colorimetric detection approach based on the cleavage of peptide-magnetic nanoparticle conjugates, which led to a change in the gold nanoparticle-modified paper sensor. The multiplexing of human NE, PR3 and MMP-2 proteases was tested and compared after 30 min, 2 h, 4 h and 24 h of LPS administration. The multiplexing platform of the three analytes led to relatively marked peptide cleavage occurring only after 30 min and 24 h. The results demonstrated that MMP-2, PR3 and human NE can provide a promising biosensing platform for ALI/ARDS in infected mice at different stages. MMP-2 was detected at all stages (30 min-24 h); however, the detection of human NE and PR3 can be useful for early- (30 min) and late-stage (24 h) detection of ALI/ARDS. Further studies are necessary to apply these potential diagnostic biosensing platforms to detect ARDS in patients.

Abstract
Oral health is an essential part of overall health. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a potential biomarker for diseases. The ability to accurately detect MMP-2 in vivo and in vitro is of great importance for the early diagnosis and prognosis, as well as the treatment evaluation, of oral diseases. In this study, cyanine 3 (Cy3) polypeptide containing the specific peptide substrate (PLGVR) of MMP-2 was modified onto SiO2-coated upconversion nanoparticles to fabricate a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ratiometric fluorescent nanoplatform (UCNPs@SiO2@Cy3-pep). The green upconversion luminescence of UCNPs@SiO2 is quenched by Cy3, while its red upconversion luminescence is undisturbed. After Cy3 is cleaved at the PLGVR peptide by MMP-2, it is detached from the surface of UCNPs@SiO2, resulting in the recovery of green luminescence. Based on this principle, we applied UCNPs@SiO2@Cy3-pep to detect MMP-2 activity in different oral disease samples and models. We found that the level of MMP-2 in saliva of patients with oral cancer was 10 times higher than that of healthy individuals. In addition, the MMP-2 level in patients with periodontitis and severe dental caries also increased to varying degrees compared with that in healthy patients. Finally, in vitro and in vivo imaging experiments revealed that the nanoplatform was effective in monitoring MMP-2 level. Together, the developed nanoplatform can be an ideal tool for medical diagnosis of MMP-2-related diseases.

Abstract
Identifying the phenotype of aggressive breast cancer (BC) cells is vital for the effectiveness of surgical intervention and standard-of-care therapy. HER-2 is overexpressed in aggressive BC and MMP-2 is a crucial indicator of invasiveness and metastasis of BC, so we have proposed an electrochemical biosensor in this work to identify the phenotype of aggressive BC cells via detection of HER-2 together with MMP-2 by designing a dual-trapping peptide and a metal organic framework (MOF)-based probe. Specifically, the designed peptide contains both a HER-2 recognition sequence and MMP-2-specific substrate, while the MOF-based probe (AuNPs@HRP@ZIF-8), prepared by loading horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on ZIF-8, can also combine with the peptide. Consequently, sensitive and specific detection of both HER-2 and MMP-2 can be achieved in the wide range from 50 fg mL-1 to 50 ng mL-1 and 10 fg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1, respectively, and the biosensor can distinguish HER-2+ BC cells and evaluate the invasion capability, which might be extended to provide a method for the accurate identification of tumor features in BC subtypes.

Abstract
We have developed a simple and rapid mix-and-read assay for the sensitive detection of O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) activity based on exonuclease III-assisted signal amplification under completely isothermal conditions (37 °C). This method is very simple and rapid (60 min) with ultrahigh sensitivity and good specificity, and it can detect MGMT activity at the single-cell level. Moreover, this method can be applied for the screening of MGMT inhibitors and the discrimination of MGMT in different cancer cells.

Development of the DNA-based biosensors for high performance in detection of molecular biomarkers: More rapid, sensitive, and universal. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 197:113739.

Abstract
The molecular biomarkers are molecules that are closely related to specific physiological states. Numerous molecular biomarkers have been identified as targets for disease diagnosis and biological research. To date, developing highly efficient probes for the precise detection of biomarkers has become an attractive research field which is very important for biological and biochemical studies. During the past decades, not only the small chemical probe molecules but also the biomacromolecules such as enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids have been introduced to construct of biosensor platform to achieve the detection of biomarkers in a highly specific and highly efficient way. Nevertheless, improving the performance of the biosensors, especially in clinical applications, is still in urgent demand in this field. A noteworthy example is the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) that breaks out globally in a short time in 2020. The COVID-19 was caused by the virus called SARS-CoV-2. Early diagnosis is very important to block the infection of the virus. Therefore, during these months scientists have developed dozens of methods to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of the virus. Nowadays some of these new methods have been applied for producing the commercial detection kit and help people against the disease worldwide. DNA-based biosensors are useful tools that have been widely applied in the detection of molecular biomarkers. The good stability, high specificity, and excellent biocompatibility make the DNA-based biosensors versatile in application both in vitro and in vivo. In this paper, we will review the major methods that emerged in recent years on the design of DNA-based biosensors and their applications. Moreover, we will also briefly discuss the possible future direction of DNA-based biosensors design. We believe this is helpful for people interested in not only the biosensor field but also in the field of analytical chemistry, DNA nanotechnology, biology, and disease diagnosis.

Novel electrogravimetric biosensors for the ultrasensitive detection of plasma matrix metalloproteinase-2 considered a potential tumor biomarker. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1191:339290. [PMID: 35033237 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Revised: 10/29/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
In this study, we developed novel, simple gravimetric and voltammetric sensors for the ultrasensitive detection of active matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 in plasma. The developed sensors are cost-effective, require a very less amount of reagents, and are time-saving. They detect MMP-2 based on antigen-antibody recognition and its ability to cleave glycine-leucine peptide bond. The three-dimensional bioplatform of the sensors consisted of a cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) polymer that facilitated robust immobilization of the dipeptide labeled with anthraquinone (AQ), or antibody molecules in appropriate density, which was crucial for biosensing. Detection was performed using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation and voltammetry. The results showed that the developed sensors were characterized by high stability, wide analytical range (2.0 pg mL-1 to 5.0 μg mL-1), and low detection limit (ca. 10 fg mL-1). They also exhibited excellent efficiency in the determination of active MMP-2 in real samples, such as blood plasma. The developed sensors may hold great promise for the early diagnosis of cancers.

In situ peptide self-assembly on ionic nanochannel for dynamic monitoring of MMPs in extracellular matrix. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 195:113671. [PMID: 34624798 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of tumor mediates malignant transformation and distant metastasis with extracellular proteinases, especially the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). However, there is no assay method to trace the dynamic content of MMPs in ECM. In this work, we have proposed a strategy by assembling peptide scaffold on ionic nanochannels to monitor the target proteinases. The short peptide unit is designed to induce self-assembly with good stability, biocompatibility and programmability, while ion nanochannels can provide electrochemical response upon the MMP activities. Taking MMP-2 as an example, the peptide unit includes two regions, one for self-assembly and one for bio-recognition, so the assembly region (KLVFF) can self-assemble to nanofiber networks. In the meantime, since the reactive region (PLGVR) has MMP-2 recognition site, the peptide assembly on nanochannel can thus be used for the detection of active MMP-2 in tumor microenvironment, with a wide linear detection range (10 fg/mL-10 ng/mL) and 6.6 fg/mL limit of detection. Moreover, the availability of the established ECM mimic is able to distinguish active MMP-2 from latent proMMP-2 in tumor samples. By designing different peptide units for self-assembly on the ionic nanochannel, the assay platform can be promisingly used for other proteinases in ECM, so this work may provide a useful approach to trace the dynamic content of the MMPs in tumor microenvironment (TEM).

Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 195:113653.

Abstract
Studies over the last decade have shown that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in the growth and metastasis of cancer. This zinc-dependent family of endopeptidases is crucial for the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as serves as important ECM transducers which have been recognized as early biomarkers for both cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we designed a new type of voltammetric biosensor, composed of a glycine-methionine dipeptide conjugated covalently to ferrocene (Gly-Met-Fc), for fast and ultrasensitive detection of the active form of MMP-9 in plasma samples. The detection was based on specific enzymatic cleavage of the Gly-Met peptide bond, which was monitored by voltammetry and gravimetry measurements. The ferrocene units act as voltammetric visualizers for the detection process. The cysteamine layer directly anchored to the gold surface ensured that the packing density of Gly-Met-Fc in the receptor layer was appropriate for the sensitive detection of MMP-9 in its active form. The developed biosensor was characterized by the widest analytical range (2.0·10-6 - 5.0 μg⋅mL-1) and low detection limit (0.04 pg⋅mL-1). Another valuable feature of the proposed biosensor is that it can be applied directly to the plasma samples without any additional preparation step and thus speeds up the analysis.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) is associated with many types of cancers, including oral, colorectal, and brain cancers. This paper describes the fabrication of an MMP-1 immunosensor based on a gold nanoparticle/polyethyleneimine/reduced graphene oxide (AuNP/PEI/rGO)-modified disposable screen-printed electrode (SPE). A microwave-assisted single-step method was employed for the simultaneous reduction of gold and graphene oxide in a PEI environment to avoid AuNP agglomeration. The crystal structure, chemical composition, optical properties, and interior morphology of the materials were probed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. To assemble a label-free MMP-1 immunosensor layer-by-layer, 3-mercaptopropionic acid was utilized due to its strong sulfur-gold bonding ability, and its tail end was attached to a carboxyl group, allowing the MMP-1 antibody (anti-MMP-1) to be subsequently cross-linked using the traditional N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) and N' ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride method. Differential pulse voltammetry analysis showed a linear relationship with MMP-1 concentration in the range of 1-50 ng ml-1 with an R2 value of ∼0.996 (n = 5, RSD < 5%). This immunosensor was successfully applied for MMP-1 detection in urine, saliva, bovine serum, and cell culture media (HSC-3 & C6) of oral and brain cancers showing results comparable to those of the credible ELISA method.

Abstract
The role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in tumorigenesis and metastasis is becoming increasingly clear. Cancer development requires that tumor cells recruit a tumor microenvironment permissive for further tumor growth. This is a dynamic process that takes place by a cross-talk between tumor cells and ECM. As a consequence, molecules derived from the ECM changes associated to cancer are released into the bloodstream, representing potential biomarkers of tumor development. This article highlights the importance of developing and improving bioanalytical methods for the detection of ECM remodeling-derived components, as a step forward to translate the basic knowledge about cancer progression into the clinical practice.

Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) being one of the principal causes of death and acquired disability in the world imposes a large burden on the global economy. Mild TBI (mTBI) is particularly challenging to assess due to the frequent lack of well-pronounced post-injury symptoms. However, if left untreated mTBI (especially when repetitive) can lead to serious long-term implications such as cognitive and neuropathological disorders. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging commonly used for TBI diagnostics require well-trained personnel, are costly, difficult to adapt for on-site measurements and are not always reliable in identifying small brain lesions. Thus, there is an increasing demand for sensitive point-of-care (POC) testing tools in order to aid mTBI diagnostics and prediction of long-term effects. Biomarker quantification in body fluids is a promising basis for POC measurements, even though establishing a clinically relevant mTBI biomarker panel remains a challenge. Actually, a minimally invasive, rapid and reliable multianalyte detection device would allow the efficient determination of injury biomarker release kinetics and thus support the preclinical evaluation and clinical validation of a proposed biomarker panel for future decentralized in vitro diagnostics. In this respect electrochemical biosensors have recently attracted great attention and the present article provides a critical study on the electrochemical protocols suggested in the literature for detection of mTBI-relevant protein biomarkers. The authors give an overview of the analytical approaches for transduction element functionalization, review recent technological advances and highlight the key challenges remaining in view of an eventual integration of the proposed concepts into POC diagnostic solutions.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. In this work, a dual-functional magnetic microsphere probe was designed for ICP-MS quantification and fluorescence imaging of MMP2 in cell secretion. In the designed probe, a NH2-peptide (-FAM)-biotin was used as a bridge for the combination of carboxylated magnetic beads (MBs-COOH) and streptavidin functionalized gold nanoparticle (Au NP-SA). Initially, the fluorescence of FAM was quenched by Au NP. Since the NH2-peptide (-FAM)-biotin had a MMP2-specifically recognized sequence, the peptide was specifically cleaved in the presence of MMP2, thus releasing Au NP for the ICP-MS quantification of MMP2 and turning on the fluorescence of FAM for the fluorescence imaging of MMP2. Under the optimal experimental conditions, a linear range of 0.05-50 ng mL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.02 ng mL-1 were obtained for MMP2. The relative standard deviation (n = 7, c = 0.1 ng mL-1) of the proposed method was 5.4%. With good sensitivity and good accuracy, the proposed method realized the quantification and imaging of MMP2 in A549 cell secretion. The proposed method was applied to monitor the expression of MMP2 in the A549 cell secretion under the stimulation of Cd2+, providing a new detection strategy in the study of MMP2-related life process.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are closely associated with various physiological and pathological processes, and have been regarded as potential biomarkers for severe diseases including cancer. Accurate determination of MMPs would advance our understanding of their roles in disease progression, and is of great significance for disease diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of the developed bioassays/biosensors for detection of MMPs, and highlight the recent advancement in nanomaterial-based immunoassays for MMP abundance measurements and nanomaterial-based biosensors for MMP activity determination. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based immunoassays provide information about total levels of MMPs with high specificity and sensitivity, while target-based biosensors measure the amounts of active MMPs, and allow imaging of MMP activities in vivo. For multiplex and high-throughput analysis of MMPs, microfluidics and microarray-based assays are described. Additionally, we put forward the existing challenges and future prospects from our perspective.

Abstract
In this work, a novel "signal-on" electrochemical peptide biosensor based on peptide-conjugated hemin/G-quadruplex (DNAzyme-peptide) hybrid and rosebud-like MoSe2@reduced graphene oxide (MoSe2@rGO) nanocomposite, was developed for detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Interestingly, the peptide not only served as recognition probe to detect PSA, but also acted as the enhancer to improve the enzyme activity of hemin/G4, which promoted the detection sensitivity. Up addition of PSA, Fe3O4-labeled DNAzyme-peptide probe was cleaved, followed by the magnetic separation. The cleaved DNAzyme-peptide was then captured onto the cysteine-modified electrode via the interaction between carboxyl groups of peptide and amino group of cysteine. A strong electrochemical signal was obtained from hemin and further was amplified by the enhanced electrocatalysis of DNAzyme-peptide. Compared to the original DNAzyme, DNAzyme-peptide exhibited more than 3-fold enhancement in signal amplification. And MoSe2@rGO amplified the electrochemical signal due to its good conductivity and large surface area. So the proposed strategy detected PSA down to 0.3 fg/mL, and it showed the advantages of simplicity, low cost by avoiding the use of expensive protein enzyme and additional electroactive species. Therefore, the proposed biosensor potentially provided a very effective tool for early diagnosis of cancer by the detection of PSA.

Abstract
A number of very recently developed electrochemical biosensing strategies are promoting electrochemical biosensing systems into practical point-of-care applications. The focus of research endeavors has transferred from detection of a specific analyte to the development of general biosensing strategies that can be applied for a single category of analytes, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and cells. In this Minireview, recent cutting-edge research on electrochemical biosensing strategies are described. These developments resolved critical challenges regarding the application of electrochemical biosensors to practical point-of-care systems, such as rapid readout, simple biosensor fabrication method, ultra-high detection sensitivity, direct analysis in a complex biological matrix, and multiplexed target analysis. This Minireview provides general guidelines both for scientists in the biosensing research community and for the biosensor industry on development of point-of-care system, benefiting global healthcare.

Abstract
The detection range and sensitivity is crucial to the determination of tumor markers. For amperometric biosensors, the detection range relies on the initial current signals (I0) and the sensitivity is tightly related to the current signals difference (ΔI) caused by per unit concentration target. Herein, an amperometric biosensor was fabricated using polyaniline gel as substrate and CS-AuNPs-Pb2+ as impedance enhancer. The sensing substrate exhibited strong current signal in [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- due to the excellent conductivity and large specific surface area of polyaniline gel. CS-AuNPs-Pb2+ with large hindrance effect can significantly increase interfacial resistance, resulting in the enhancement of ΔI. In addition, Pb2+ can react with sodium tartrate to produce non-conducting sodium tartrate gel on sensing interface, leading to further amplification of ΔI. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) was analysed to prove the feasibility of this strategy. The proposed amperometric biosensor reveal both wide linear detection range from 1 pg mL-1 to 1 μg mL-1 and high sensitivity of 28.4 μA·(LgCMMP-2)-1. Therefore, this strategy will be of great significance to design other ultrasensitive amperometric biosensors.

Abstract
Preventive healthcare asks for the development of cheap, precise and non-invasive sensor devices for the early detection of diseases and continuous population screening. The actual techniques used for diagnosis, e.g. MRI and PET, or for biochemical marker sensing, e.g. immunoassays, are not suitable for continuous monitoring since they are expensive and prone to false positive responses. Synthetic supramolecular receptors offer new opportunities for the creation of specific, selective and cheap sensor devices for biological sensing of specific target molecules in complex mixtures of organic substances. The fundamental challenges faced in developing such devices are the precise transfer of the molecular recognition events at the solid-liquid interface and its transduction into a readable signal. In this review we present the progress made so far in turning synthetic macrocyclic hosts, namely cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils and cavitands, into effective biochemical sensors and the strategies utilized to solve the above mentioned issues. The performances of the developed sensing devices based on these receptors in detecting specific biological molecules, drugs and proteins are critically discussed.

Abstract
Herein, a single-step, rapid and homogenous fluorescence approach for highly sensitive and specific detection of CEA was successfully constructed for the first time using an aptamer binding-induced exonuclease III (Exo III)-mediated dual-amplification strategy. When present, CEA can specifically combine with the aptamer region in H1, resulting in a conformational change of H1 and the exposure of the occluded DNA fragment in the stem regions. Successively, the exposed DNA fragment partially hybridizes with H2 to initiate Exo III-assisted cycling cleavage to release another DNA fragment, which can in turn activate the cycling cleavage of the DNA fluorescence substrate (FS). Therefore, many fluorophore fragments are liberated to produce a significantly amplified fluorescence signal toward CEA detection. By virtue of the Exo III-assisted dual-amplification strategy, this method allows the detection of CEA at the fg mL-1 level with excellent selectivity. Compared with other reported strategies for CEA detection, the Exo III-assisted dual-amplification homogeneous platform only requires a one-step reaction, offering a very simple and low-cost detection. The practical ability of the developed strategy is demonstrated by the detection of CEA in human serum with satisfactory results. Thus, this method shows great potential in assays of many other biological analytes in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, a unique and versatile immobilization-free electrochemical nucleic acid biosensor architecture is proposed for the first time based on the catalyzed release of a methylene blue (MB)-tagged mononucleotide by exonuclease III (Exo III) and the successive enrichment onto a dodecanethiol monolayer, which can be attributed to the hydrophobic force between the alkyl chain of the dodecanethiol monolayer and the hydrophobic part of the MB-tagged mononucleotide. The fabricated biosensor demonstrates considerable advantages including assay simplicity, rapidness, and high sensitivity owing to its immobilization-free and homogenous operation for the biorecognition and amplification process. A low detection limit of approximately 1 pM toward the target DNA could be achieved with an excellent selectivity. The proposed immobilization-free electrochemical biosensing strategy was also extended for the assay of Exo I and III activity. Furthermore, it might be easily extended for the detection of a wide spectrum of targets and thus provide a promising avenue for the development of immobilization-free and sensitive electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP-2, MMP-7, and MMP-9, have been discovered to be linked to many forms of vascular diseases such as stroke, and their detection is crucial to facilitate clinical diagnosis. In this work, we prepared a class of optical interference-free SERS nanotags (CO-nanotags) that can be used for the purpose of multiplex sensing of different MMPs. Multiplex detection with the absence of cross-talk was achieved by using CO-nanotags with individual tunable intrinsic Raman shifts of CO in the 1800-2200 cm-1 region determined by the metal core and ligands of the metal carbonyl complex. Boolean logic was used as well to simultaneously probe for two proteolytic inputs. Such nanotags offer the advantages of convenient detection of target nanotags and high sensitivity as validated in the ischemia rat model.
