SCIENCE ADVANCES 2024; 10:eadp7460. [PMID: 39231221 PMCID: PMC11373595 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adp7460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
Neurotransmitters are crucial for the proper functioning of neural systems, with dopamine playing a pivotal role in cognition, emotions, and motor control. Dysregulated dopamine levels are linked to various disorders, underscoring the need for accurate detection in research and diagnostics. Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamers are promising bioreceptors for dopamine detection due to their selectivity, improved stability, and synthesis feasibility. However, discrepancies in dopamine specificity have presented challenges. Here, we surface-functionalized a nano-plasmonic biosensing platform with a dopamine-specific ssDNA aptamer for selective detection. The biosensor, featuring narrowband hybrid plasmonic resonances, achieves high specificity through functionalization with aptamers and passivation processes. Sensitivity and selectivity for dopamine detection are demonstrated across a wide range of concentrations, including in diverse biological samples like protein solutions, cerebrospinal fluid, and whole blood. These results highlight the potential of plasmonic "aptasensors" for developing rapid and accurate diagnostic tools for disease monitoring, medical diagnostics, and targeted therapies.

Abstract
High-entropy nanomaterials exhibit exceptional mechanical, physical, and chemical properties, finding applications in many industries. Peroxidases are metalloenzymes that accelerate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. This study uses the high-entropy approach to generate multimetal oxide-based nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity and explores their application as sensors in ex vivo bioassays. A library of 81 materials was produced using a coprecipitation method for rapid synthesis of up to 100 variants in a single plate. The A and B sites of the magnetite structure, (AA')(BB'B'')2O4, were substituted with up to six different cations (Cu/Fe/Zn/Mg/Mn/Cr). Increasing the compositional complexity improved the catalytic performance; however, substitutions of single elements also caused drastic reductions in the peroxidase-like activity. A generalized linear model was developed describing the relationship between material composition and catalytic activity. Binary interactions between elements that acted synergistically or antagonistically were identified, and a single parameter, the mean interaction effect, was observed to correlate highly with catalytic activity, providing a valuable tool for the design of high-entropy-inspired nanozymes.

Abstract
A facile and sensitive fluorescent and colorimetric dual-readout assay for detection of acid phosphatase (ACP) was developed via Ce(III) ions-directed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of glutathione-protected gold nanoclusters (GSH-AuNCs) and oxidase-mimicking activity of Ce(IV) ions. Free Ce(IV) ions exhibited a strong oxidase-mimetic activity, catalytically oxidizing colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into its blue product oxTMB in the presence of dissolved O2, thus triggering a remarkable color reaction detected visually. ACP can hydrolyze L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (AAP) with the production of ascorbic acid (AA). The AA is able to reduce Ce(IV) ions to Ce(III) ions, thus quenching the oxidase-mimetic activity of Ce(IV) ions. Meanwhile, Ce(III) ions induce AIE of GSH-AuNCs, resulting in the enhancement of the fluorescence signal of GSH-AuNCs. Both the fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode analysis platforms exhibit a sensitive response to ACP, providing detection limits as low as 0.101 U/L and 0.200 U/L, respectively. Besides, this fabricated dual-mode detection platform holds the potential for analysis of ACP in human serum samples and screening inhibitors for ACP. With good performance and practicability, this study shows promising application in the convenient and reliable determination of ACP activity.

Abstract
Propyl gallate (PG) is a commonly used synthetic phenolic antioxidant in foodstuffs and industrial products. Due to the potential health risk of PG, rapid and on-site detection in food and environment samples are important to guarantee human health. Herein, we demonstrated rapid monitoring of PG by a fluorescence turn-on strategy based on a specific fluorogenic reaction between PG and polyethyleneimine (PEI). Specifically, Ce4+ with oxidase-mimicking activity oxidized PG to its oxides, which then reacted with PEI through the Michael addition to generate the fluorescent compound. The proposed fluorogenic reaction had good specificity for PG, which could distinguish PG from other phenolic antioxidants and interferences. Furthermore, portable and low-cost organogel test kits were prepared using poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate for quantitative and on-site detection of PG via a smartphone-based sensing platform. The organogel-based assay detection limit was 1.0 μg mL-1 with recoveries ranging from 80.2% to 106.2% in edible oils and surface water. Suitability of the developed assay was also validated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Our study provides an effective fluorescent approach to rapid, specific, and convenient monitoring of PG, which is useful for diminishing the risk of PG exposure.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) is a vital biomarker for the early diagnosis of dopaminergic dysfunction; therefore, it is important to establish a direct and selective detection tool for DA neurotransmitters. This work reports facilely synthesized Au-Ag core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) as colorimetric sensing probes for highly selective detection of the DA neurotransmitter. Our sensing strategy is based on DA-mediated aggregation of the Au@Ag NPs, which can show a distinct color transition from yellow to greenish grey. With the increase of pH from 6 to 10, the response time of colorimetric transition was significantly reduced by a factor of 10 and the limit of detection (LOD) for DA by a spectroscopic device was estimated to be 0.08 μM. Notably, optimized sensing probes of Au@Ag NPs at pH 10 demonstrated an excellent selectivity to DA against various interfering components (including catecholamines (norepinephrine and epinephrine), lysine, glutamic acid, glucose, or metal ions). Our sensing system also exhibited the reliable detection of DA in spiked human serum with the relative standard deviation lower than 4.0%, suggesting its possible application to the direct detection of DA in biological fluids.

Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity have been attracting much attention due to their low cost, favorable stability, convenient storage, and simple preparation. Herein, Co3O4 nanoplates with a uniform nanostructure were prepared by the thermolysis of cobalt hydroxide at different temperatures, and the influence of the annealing temperature on the performance of the mimetic enzyme also was reported for the first time. The results demonstrated that Co3O4 nanoplates obtained at an annealing temperature of 200 °C possessed strong oxidase activity and efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) without the addition of hydrogen peroxide to generate the blue color product ox-TMB. Once the annealing temperature was increased to 500 °C and 800 °C, the oxidase activity of Co3O4 decreased rapidly, and was even inactivated. This might be attributed to the relatively large specific surface area of Co3O4 annealed at 200 °C. Besides this, based on the TMB-Co3O4 nanoplate system, a colorimetric analysis method was developed to detect dopamine with a limit of 0.82 μmol/L in a linear range from 1.6 μmol/L to 20 μmol/L.
