[PMID: 39197310 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126772] [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: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a significant pediatric cancer associated with high mortality rates, demanding innovative and appropriate approaches for its accurate detection. This paper described the design of a dual-target electrochemical aptasensor capable of simultaneously detecting neuroblastoma-associated microRNAs (miRNA-181 and miRNA-184) with exceptional sensitivity. Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) were utilized with gold nanorods (AuNRs), and aptamers functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to improve sensitivity, specificity, and portable detection ability. The detection method employed in this study includes differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Our aptasensor exhibited remarkable limits of detections (LODs) of 5.10 aM for miRNA-181 and 9.39 aM for miRNA-184, respectively, along with a broad linear range spanning from 0.1 fM to 100 pM for both miRNAs. The practical significance of neuroblastoma diagnosis was shown through the validation of serum samples and comparison with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Our electrochemical aptasensor is user-friendly, easy to engineer, and offers a promising approach for accurately and selectively detecting important miRNA biomarkers in cancer screening and diagnosis, showing potential application in various clinical scenarios.

[PMID: 38669846 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116333] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Foodborne diseases caused by Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) significantly impact public health, underscoring the imperative for highly sensitive, rapid, and accurate detection technologies to ensure food safety and prevent human diseases. Nanomaterials hold great promise in the development of high-sensitivity transistor biosensors. In this work, field-effect transistor (FET) comprising high-purity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated and modified with corresponding nucleic acid aptamers for the high-affinity and selective capture of S. enterica and S. aureus. The aptamer-functionalized CNT-FET biosensor demonstrated ultra-sensitive and rapid detection of these foodborne pathogens. Experimental results indicated that the biosensor could detect S. enterica at a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1 CFU in PBS buffer, and S. aureus at an LOD of 1.2 CFUs, achieving single-cell level detection accuracy with exceptional specificity. The biosensor exhibited a rapid response time, completing single detections within 200 s. Even in the presence of interference from six complex food matrices, the biosensor maintained its ultra-sensitive (3.1 CFUs) and rapid response (within 200 s) characteristics for both pathogens. The developed aptamer-functionalized CNT-FET biosensor demonstrates a capability for low-cost, ultra-sensitive, label-free, and rapid detection of low-abundance S. enterica and S. aureus in both buffer solutions and complex environments. This innovation holds significant potential for applying this detection technology to on-site rapid testing scenarios, offering a promising solution to the pressing need for efficient and reliable pathogen monitoring in various settings.

The limitations in diagnosing and treating animal virus infections have made the transmission of diseases and animal deaths unpredictable. Therefore, early diagnosis of animal virus infections is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases and reduce economic losses. To address the need for rapid diagnosis, electrochemical sensors have emerged as promising tools. Electrochemical methods present numerous benefits, including heightened sensitivity and selectivity, affordability, ease of use, portability, and rapid analysis, making them suitable for real-time virus detection. This paper focuses on the construction of electrochemical biosensors, as well as promising biosensor models, and expounds its advantages in virus detection, which is a promising research direction.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as the small, non-coding, evolutionary conserved, and post-transcriptional gene regulators of the genome, have been highly associated with various diseases such as cancers, viral infections, and cardiovascular diseases. Several techniques have been established to detect miRNAs, including northern blotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and fluorescent microarray platform. However, it remains a significant challenge to develop sensitive, accurate, rapid, and cost-effective methods to detect miRNAs due to their short size, high similarity, and low abundance. The electrochemical biosensors exhibit tremendous potential in miRNA detection because they satisfy feature integration, portability, mass production, short response time, and minimal sample consumption. This article reviewed the working principles and signal amplification strategies of electrochemical DNA biosensors summarized the recent improvements. With the development of DNA nanotechnology, nanomaterials and biotechnology, electrochemical DNA biosensors of high sensitivity and specificity for microRNA detection will shortly be commercially accessible.

Abstract
With the increasing importance of accurate and early disease diagnosis and the development of personalized medicine, DNA-based electrochemical biosensor has attracted broad scientific and clinical interests in the past decades due to its unique hybridization specificity, fast response time, and potential for miniaturization. In order to achieve high detection sensitivity, the design of DNA electrochemical biosensors depends critically on the improvement of the accessibility of target molecules and the enhancement of signal readout. Here, we summarize the recent advances in DNA probe immobilization and signal amplification strategies with a special focus on DNA nanostructure-supported DNA probe immobilization method, which provides the opportunity to rationally control the distance between probes and keep them in upright confirmation, as well as the contribution of functional nanomaterials in enhancing the signal amplification. The next challenge of biosensors will be the fabrication of point-of-care devices for clinical testing. The advancement of multidisciplinary areas, including nanofabrication, material science, and biochemistry, has exhibited profound promise in achieving such portable sensing devices. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Nucleic Acid-Based Structures.

Abstract
The importance of timely diagnosis and the complete treatment of lung cancer for many people with this deadly disease daily increases due to its high mortality. Diagnosis and treatment with helping the nanoparticles are useful, although they have reasonable harms. This article points out that the side effects of using carbon nanotube (CNT) in this disease treatment process such as inflammation, fibrosis, and carcinogenesis are very problematic. Toxicity can reduce to some extent using the techniques such as functionalizing to proper dimensions as a longer length, more width, and greater curvature. The targeted CNT sensors can be connected to various modified vapors. In this regard, with helping this method, screening makes non-invasive diagnosis possible. Researchers have also found that nanoparticles such as CNTs could be used as carriers to direct drug delivery, especially with chemotherapy drugs. Most of these carriers were multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) used for cancerous cell targeting. The results of laboratory and animal researches in the field of diagnosis and treatment became very desirable and hopeful. The collection of researches summarized has highlighted the requirement for a detailed assessment which includes CNT dose, duration, method of induction, etc., to achieve the most controlled conditions for animal and human studies. In the discussion section, 4 contradictory issues are discussed which are invited researchers to do more research to get clearer results.

Abstract
Over the past decade, carbon nanostructures (CNSs) have been widely used in a variety of biomedical applications. Examples are the use of CNSs for drug and protein delivery or in tools to locally dispense nucleic acids to fight tumor affections. CNSs were successfully utilized in diagnostics and in noninvasive and highly sensitive imaging devices thanks to their optical properties in the near infrared region. However, biomedical applications require a complete biocompatibility to avoid adverse reactions of the immune system and CNSs potentials for biodegradability. Water is one of the main constituents of the living matter. Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of CNSs is their poor solubility. Surface functionalization of CNSs is commonly utilized as an efficient solution to both tune the surface wettability of CNSs and impart biocompatible properties. Grafting functional groups onto the CNSs surface consists in bonding the desired chemical species on the carbon nanoparticles via wet or dry processes leading to the formation of a stable interaction. This latter may be of different nature as the van Der Waals, the electrostatic or the covalent, the π-π interaction, the hydrogen bond etc. depending on the process and on the functional molecule at play. Grafting is utilized for multiple purposes including bonding mimetic agents such as polyethylene glycol, drug/protein adsorption, attaching nanostructures to increase the CNSs opacity to selected wavelengths or provide magnetic properties. This makes the CNSs a very versatile tool for a broad selection of applications as medicinal biochips, new high-performance platforms for magnetic resonance (MR), photothermal therapy, molecular imaging, tissue engineering, and neuroscience. The scope of this work is to highlight up-to-date using of the functionalized carbon materials such as graphene, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, fullerene and nanodiamonds in biomedical applications.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been considered as promising molecular biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis, as well as drug development. Herein, we wish to report a low background and label-free aptamer-based biosensor for miRNA assay by RNA-regulated fluorescence of malachite green (MG). In this biosensor-based strategy, target miRNA can specifically hybridize with the DNA extension template to form the T7 in vitro transcription system. Then the following transcription amplification produces a large number of MG RNA aptamers (MGAs) which light up the fluorescence of the MG, achieving significant fluorescence enhancement for miRNA quantitative analysis. The aptamer-based biosensor exhibits high sensitivity with a quite low detection limit of 10 amol target miRNA and high specificity to clearly discriminate very similar miRNA family members, even only one base difference. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that the biosensor is practical and reliable for the quantitative detection of miRNA in complex real samples.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as the promising molecular biomarkers for early diagnosis and enhanced understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of cancers as well as certain diseases. Here, a facile, label-free, and amplification-free electrochemical biosensor was developed to detect miRNA by using DNA origami nanostructure-supported DNA probes, with methylene blue (MB) serving as the hybridization redox indicator, for the first time. Specifically, the use of cross-shaped DNA origami nanostructures containing multiple single-stranded DNA probes at preselected locations on each DNA nanostructure could increase the accessibility and the recognition efficiency of the probes (due to the rational controlled density of DNA probes). The successful immobilization of DNA origami probes and their hybridization with targeted miRNA-21 molecules was confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry methods. A differential pulse voltammetry technique was employed to record the oxidation peak current of MB before and after target hybridization. The linear detection range of this biosensor was from 0.1 pM to 10.0 nM, with a lower detection limit of 79.8 fM. The selectivity of the miRNA biosensor was also studied by observing the discrimination ability of single-base mismatched sequences. Because of the larger surface area and unprecedented customizability of DNA origami nanostructures, this strategy demonstrated great potential for sensitive, selective, and label-free determination of miRNA for translational biomedical research and clinical applications.
