Nanoparticle-based fluorescence probe for detection of NF-κB transcription factor in single cell via steric hindrance. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:226. [PMID: 34106343 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-021-04878-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
A novel nanoparticle-based fluorescence probe was developed for NF-κB transcription factor detection and in situ imaging via steric hindrance. The probe contains gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to quench fluorescence, and nucleic acids immobilized on the surface of AuNPs to output fluorescence. In the basal state, Cy5 labeled DNA1 folds its long chain into a hairpin structure and quenches fluorescence by forcing the Cy5 fluorophore close to the surface of AuNPs. After the probe enters the cell, the NF-κB transcription factor can bind to the κB site in the DNA duplex of the nucleic acids. The steric hindrance caused by NF-κB leads to the extension of the long chain of DNA1 and the removal of the Cy5 fluorophore from the surface of AuNPs, thereby restoring the fluorescence of the probe. By measuring NF-κB in cell lysis in vitro, the probe obtains a detection limit of 0.38 nM and the linear range from 0.5 to 16 nM. Repeated measurements showed the recovery in the cell nuclear extract was between 93.38 and 109.32%, with relative standard deviation less than 5%. By monitoring the sub-localization of the Cy5 fluorophore in single cell, the probe system can effectively distinguish active NF-κB (nucleus) and inactive NF-κB (cytoplasm) through in situ imaging. The well-designed probe will make up for the shortcomings of the existing technology, and reveal the regulatory role of transcription factors in many disease processes.

Abstract
Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin (Ig)-like lectins (Siglecs) is a type I transmembrane receptor on the cell surface. Siglec-5, as one of the Siglecs family, play an important role as an inhibitory receptor for leukocytes in the human body. The development of novel siglec-5 assays can help to study the pathogenesis of related diseases as well as to develop novel therapeutic drugs. We use catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification strategy combined with CRISPR-Cas12a's side-cutting feature to build a 2D ultra-thin Ti3C2Tx (MXene) based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the detection of Siglec-5. By using this ECL biosensor, the cleavage of CRISPR-Cas12a is reasonably combined with CHA-mediated isothermal amplification, thereby realizing the sensitive amplification assay Siglec-5 with 20.22 fM sensitivity. By introducing pairs of sites that are not in the same double-stranded DNA into the DNA duplex, the hybridization sequence of CRISPR-Cas12a complements the targeting mechanism to enhance indirect Siglec-5 amplification assay. Also, the double-strand DNA (dsDNA) design based on CRISPR-Cas12a amplification allows the same CRISPR RNA (crRNA, also known as guide RNA (gRNA)) to detect the output of DNA duplexes from different intermediate DNAs, which provides a common way for biomarker detection based on the conversion of protein analytes to intermediate DNA strategy. This work extends the application scope of CRISPR-Cas12a to the construction of ECL biosensors, evaluates the role of lectins, which can be used for the biochemical research and clinical diagnosis of protein markers. This is the first investigative work exploring the Trans-Cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a for Mxene-based ECL biosensor establishment to the best of our knowledge.

Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 176:112942. [PMID: 33401144 PMCID: PMC7772087 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) with strong contagion in the crowd, has ravaged worldwide and severely impacts the human health and epidemic prevention system, by producing a series of significant stress reactions in the body to induce further cytokine storm. Transcription factors (TFs) served as essential DNA binding proteins play an integral role in regulating cytokine storm, and the detection of it in the human coronavirus environment provides especially valuable approaches to diagnosis and treatment of 2019-nCoV and development of antiviral drugs. In this work, an entropy-driven electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was constructed for ultra-sensitive bioassay of NF-κB p50. The strategy primarily capitalizing the splendid double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding properties of transcription factors, employing GOAu-Ru composite material as ECL emitter, utilizing entropy-driven reactions for signal amplification method, offered a repeatable proposal for TFs detection. In the absence of TFs, the released DNA1 further went in the entropy-driven reaction, contributing to an “ECL off” state. However, in the presence of TFs, the dsDNA avoided being digested, which blocked DNA1 for participating in the entropy-driven reaction, and the system exhibited an “ECL on” state. Most importantly, the ECL bioanalytical method denoted broad application prospects for NF-κB p50 detection with a lower detection limit (9.1 pM). 2019-nCoV can induce cytokine storm in the body. Transcription factors are essential in regulating cytokine storm. Electrochemiluminescence sensor for NF-κB p50 detection is fabricated. Entropy-driven reaction facilitates the signal amplification. GOAu-Ru composites serve as ECL emitters.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated a dual-wavelength electrochemiluminescence ratiometric biosensor based on electrochemiluminescent resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET). In this biosensor, Au nanoparticle-loaded graphitic phase carbon nitride (Au-g-C3N4) as a donor and Au-modified dimethylthiodiaminoterephthalate (TAT) analogue (Au@TAT) as an acceptor were investigated for the first time. Besides, tetrahedron DNA probe was immobilized onto Au-g-C3N4 to improve the binding efficiency of the transcription factor and ECL ratiometric changes on the basis of the ratio of ECL intensities at 595 and 460 nm, which were obtained through the formation of a sandwich structure of DNA probe-antigen-antibody. Our biosensor achieved the assay of NF-κB p50 with a detection limit of 5.8 pM as well as high stability and specificity.

Determination of the concentration of transcription factor by using exonuclease III-aided amplification and gold nanoparticle mediated fluorescence intensity: A new method for gene transcription related enzyme detection. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1104:132-139. [PMID: 32106944 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2019.12.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2019] [Accepted: 12/31/2019] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we report a new probe for the determination of the concentration of NF-κB p50, one kind of DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs), by using Exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided amplification and gold nanoparticle mediated fluorescence intensity. Since TFs play critical roles in various biological processes, the detection of TFs can provide a lot of useful biological information for studding gene expression regulation related disease. In our system, in the presence of transcription factor, Exo III based amplification reaction was trigged. This enzymatic digestion results in the release of intermediate DNA and ultimately liberating the fluorophore (which, separated from the quencher of AuNP and BHQ2, now fluoresces). The released intermediate DNA then hybridizes with another strand3, whence the cycle starts anew. So, the fluorescence intensity reflects the NF-κB p50 concentration with a detection limit of 1.32 pM. Importantly, this method might be further extended to selectively detect various dsDNA-binding proteins by simply changing the binding-site sequences of strand1/strand2 duplex probes.
