[PMID: 38865953 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126342] [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: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a protein regulating myocardial contraction, stands the premier biomarker for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction and stratifying heart disease risk. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing combines traditional PEC analysis with high bioconjugation specificity, rendering a prospective avenue for disease biomarker analysis. However, the performance of sensors often falls short due to inadequate photoelectric materials. Hence, designing heterojunctions with proper band alignment, effective transport and separation of photogenerated carriers is highly expected for PEC sensors. Meanwhile, doping as a synergistic strategy to tune the energy band edges and improve carrier transport in heterojunctions, can also enhance the sensing performance. In this work, bismuth-doped tin oxide and tin disulfide heterojunction (Bi-SnOS) was prepared via a simple one-step hydrothermal method and utilized as a highly sensitive platform. Integrating copper sulfide-coated nano-gold (Au@CuS), a yolk-shell shaped nanocomposites, as the double quenching probe, an excellent PEC biosensor was fabricated to assay cTnI via sandwich immunorecognition. Under optimal conditions, the proposed biosensor displayed a high-performance for cTnI in the range from 0.1 pg/mL to 5.0 ng/mL with a low detection limit (44.7 fg/mL, 3σ). The strong photocurrent response, high stability and suitable selectivity point out that the synergistic effect between heterojunction and doping provides a promising prospect for the design of new PEC materials.

Abstract
In this study, a novel antifouling electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analytical platform has been developed for the highly sensitive quantification of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides based on the ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) mechanism. Specifically, glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) were initially coated with graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets, followed by the electropolymerization of polyaniline (PANI) onto the electrode surface. Subsequently, a promising peptide motif candidate (COOH-CPPPPDKDKDKDKKLVFF) was immobilized onto the PANI-modified electrode, functioning as a critical component for both antifouling and specific recognition of full-length Aβ peptides. Furthermore, this peptide motif demonstrated inhibitory effects on Aβ aggregation and dissociation. Upon immobilization of the peptide motif, Aβ aptamer-CdS QDs were bound to the electrode surface through peptide-specific interactions with Aβ, thereby facilitating the highly sensitive ECL detection of Aβ. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed biosensor exhibited an Aβ detection range from 0.1 pM to 100 nM with a detection limit of 16.1 fM. As such, this innovative platform offers a straightforward approach to antifouling, quantification, and monitoring of Aβ concentrations in the blood samples.

Abstract
Most of the existing electrochemical systems failed to achieve satisfactory results in early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) owing to a deficiency of effective signal transduction. A new method for the electrochemical detection of AD biomarkers (amyloid-beta oligomers, Aβ1-42 oligomers) was developed based on a double amplification strategy. Titanium carbide (Ti3C2) MXene decorated by gold nanoparticles (Au-MXene) as the electrode substrate not only gave rise to the electrochemical response due to its paradoxical surface area and conspicuous charge mobility, but also provided vast numbers of binding sites for aptamers (Apt) of Aβ1-42 oligomers. Meanwhile, AuNPs were incorporated into covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which were further modified by Apt and electron mediator (toluidine blue, TB). The Apt/TB-Au@COFs composite was utilized as a label because of their improvement of the electron-hole separation efficiency and optimization of the charge-carrier utilization. The proposed electrochemical assay established highly efficient platform for the detection of Aβ1-42 oligomers with a linear range from 0.01 pg mL-1 to 180 pg mL-1 and an ultralow detection limit of 4.27 fg mL-1 (S/N = 3). This biosensing platform had potential applications in molecular diagnostics of AD serum samples.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), and its consequent effect primarily clinical dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia, etc. currently bring potential avenues for diagnosis centered on identification of beta-amyloid1-42 (Aβ1-42). Unfortunately, techniques engaged in AD core biomarker (Aβ1-42) detection are majorly suffering from poor sensitivity and selectivity. Thus, we fabricated graphene oxide (GO) surface decorated chitosan (CS) mediated layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for highly sensitive and selective recognition of Aβ1-42. Briefly, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and GO synthesis were achieved through a greener approach. LbL assembly was designed using CS and polystyrene sulphonate (PSS) on surface of AgNPs (AgNPs-CS-PSS-CS) and then antibodies of Aβ (anti-Aβ) were fixed on LbL assembly (AgNPs-CS-PSS-CS@anti-Aβ). Herein, amine functionality of CS offers a plethora of sites for anti-Aβ antibody immobilization that gives specific direction, high selectivity, and an adequate amount of antibody immobilization. For fabrication, synthesized GO was immobilized on an amine-modified gold-coated sensor chip via carbodiimide chemistry followed by AgNPs-CS-PSS-CS@anti-Aβ immobilization on an activated GO surface. Inimitable features of LbL assembly showed improved selectivity towards Aβ peptide whereas utilization of affinity biotransducer with a combination of plasmonic and non-plasmonic nanomaterial improved sensitivity and selectivity. Consequently, linearity range and limit of detection (LOD) of Aβ1-42 antigens were found to be 2 fg/mL to 400 ng/mL and 1.21 fg/mL, respectively. Moreover, analysis of Aβ1-42 in AD-induced rats confirmed the real-time-applicability of the designed SPR biosensor. Hence, GO surface decorated AgNPs-CS-PSS-CS@anti-Aβ mediated SPR biosensor would provide a novel approach for exceptionally sensitive and selective Aβ detection.

Abstract
In recent years, advances in immunosensor device fabrication have significantly expanded the use of this technology in a broad range of applications including clinical diagnosis, food analysis, quality control, environmental studies and industrial monitoring. The most important aspect in fabrication is to obtain a design that provides a low detection limit. The utilization of nanomaterials as a label, catalyst and biosensing transducer is, perhaps, the most popular approach in ultrasensitive devices. This chapter reviews recent advances in immunosensor fabrication and summarizes the most recent studies. Strategies employed to significantly improve sensitivity and specificity of immunosensor technology and the advantages and limitations thereof are explored.

Abstract
This work focused on the combination of CdTe and AgInS2 quantum dots in a dual-emission nanoprobe for the simultaneous determination of folic acid and Fe(II) in pharmaceutical formulations. The surface chemistry of the used QDs was amended with suitable capping ligands to obtain appropriate reactivity in terms of selectivity and sensitivity towards the target analytes. The implementation of PL-based sensing schemes combining multiple QDs of different nature, excited at the same wavelength and emitting at different ones, allowed to obtain a specific analyte-response profile. The first-order fluorescence data obtained from the whole emission spectra of the CdTe/AgInS2 combined nanoprobe upon interaction with folic acid and Fe(II) were processed by using chemometric tools, namely partial least-squares (PLS) and artificial neural network (ANN). This enabled to circumvent the selectivity issues commonly associated with the use of QDs prone to indiscriminate interaction with multiple species, which impair reliable and accurate quantification in complex matrices samples. ANN demonstrated to be the most efficient chemometric model for the simultaneous determination of both analytes in binary mixtures and pharmaceutical formulations due to the non-linear relationship between analyte concentration and fluorescence data that it could handle. The R2P and SEP% obtained for both analytes quantification in pharmaceutical formulations through ANN modelling ranged from 0.92 to 0.99 and 5.7-9.1%, respectively. The obtained results revealed that the developed approach is able to quantify, with high reliability and accuracy, more than one analyte in complex mixtures and real samples with pharmaceutical interest.
