Enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of palladium nanocluster tags by selective introduction of gold atoms: Application for a wound infection biomarker detection. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 200:113926. [PMID: 34990956 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113926] [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: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
In this work, an unprecedented study exploring the role that slight changes into the Pd/Au proportion have in the electrocatalytic activity of bimetallic Pd-AuNPs toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is conducted. In particular, a careful control of the amount of Au atoms introduced in the cluster and the evaluation of the optimum Pd:Au ratio for getting the maximum catalytic activity is performed for the first time. First, PdNPs are synthesized by alcohol reduction in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone, and gold atoms are selectively introduced on vertex or corner positions of the cluster in different amounts following a galvanic substitution procedure. Average elemental analysis done relying on EDX spectroscopy allows to evaluate the Pd:Au ratio in the Pd-AuNPs obtained. Lineal sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometry are used for the evaluation of the Pd-AuNPs electrocatalytic activity toward ORR at a neutral pH compared to PdNPs and AuNPs alone. Our results indicate that, the synergy between both metals is strongly enhanced when the amount of gold is controlled and occupies the more reactive positions of the cluster, reaching a maximum activity for the NPs containing a 30% of gold, while an excess of this metal leads to a decrease in such activity, as a shelter of the PdNPs is achieved. Chronoamperometric analysis allows the quantification of the optimal Pd-AuNPs at over 6 × 109 NPs/mL levels. Such optimal Pd-AuNPs were used as tags, taking advantage of the bio-functionalities of gold present in the cluster, in a proof-of-concept electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of hyaluronidase wound infection biomarker, using magnetic beads as platforms. Hyaluronidase was detected at levels as low as 50 ng/mL (0.02 U/mL; 437 U/mg) with good reproducibility (RSD below 8%) and selectivity (evaluated against bovine serum albumin, immunoglobulin G and lysozyme). The low matrix effects inherent to the use of magnetic bead platforms allowed us to discriminate between wound exudates with both sterile and infected ulcers without sample pre-treatment. This novel electrocatalytic immunoassay has the advantage, over common methods for NP tags electrochemical detection, of the signal generation in the same neutral medium where the immunoassay takes place (10 mM PBS pH 7.4), avoiding the use of additional and hazardous reagents, bringing it closer to their use as point-of-care devices. Overall, our findings may be of great interest not only for biosensing, but also for applications such as energy converting on fuel cells, in which the ORR has a pivotal role.

Abstract
Many studies have addressed electrochemical biosensors because of their simple synthesis process, adjustability, simplification, manipulation of materials' compositions and features, and wide ranges of detection of different kinds of biomedical analytes. Performant electrochemical biosensors can be achieved by selecting materials that enable faster electron transfer, larger surface areas, very good electrocatalytic activities, and numerous sites for bioconjugation. Several studies have been conducted on the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as electrode modifiers for electrochemical biosensing applications because of their respective acceptable properties and effectiveness. Nonetheless, researchers face challenges in designing and preparing MOFs that exhibit higher stability, sensitivity, and selectivity to detect biomedical analytes. The present review explains the synthesis and description of MOFs, and their relative uses as biosensors in the healthcare sector by dealing with the biosensors for drugs, biomolecules, as well as biomarkers with smaller molecular weight, proteins, and infectious disease.

Abstract
Urine is a biofluid easy to collect through a non-invasive technique that allows collecting a large volume of sample. The use of urine for disease diagnosis is not yet well explored. However, it has gained attention over the last three years. It has been applied in the diagnosis of several illnesses such as kidney disease, bladder cancer, prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In the last decade, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have attracted attention in biosensors' development for the diagnosis of diseases due to their electrical and optical properties, ability to conjugate with biomolecules, high sensitivity, and selectivity. Therefore, this article aims to present a comprehensive view of state of the art on the advances made in the quantification of analytes in urinary samples using AuNPs based assays, with a focus on protein analysis. The type of diagnosis methods, the Au NPs synthesis approaches and the strategies for surface modification aiming at selectivity towards the different targets are highlighted.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors, EIs, are systems that combine the analytical power of electrochemical techniques and the high selectivity and specificity of antibodies in a solid phase immunoassay for target analyte. In EIs, the most used transducer platforms are screen printed electrodes, SPEs. Some characteristics of EIs are their low cost, portability for point of care testing (POCT) applications, high specificity and selectivity to the target molecule, low sample and reagent consumption and easy to use. Despite all these attractive features, still exist one to cover and it is the enhancement of the sensitivity of the EIs. In this review, an approach to understand how this can be achieved is presented. First, it is necessary to comprise thoroughly all the complex phenomena that happen simultaneously in the protein-surface interface when adsorption of the protein occurs. Physicochemical properties of the protein and the surface as well as the adsorption phenomena influence the sensitivity of the EIs. From this point, some strategies to suppress non-specific binding, NSB, of proteins onto electrode surfaces in order to improve the sensitivity of EIs are mentioned.

Abstract
Medical diagnosis has been greatly improved thanks to the development of new techniques capable of performing very sensitive detection and quantifying certain parameters. These parameters can be correlated with the presence of specific molecules and their quantity. Unfortunately, these techniques are demanding, expensive, and often complicated. On the other side, progress in other fields of science and technology has contributed to the rapid growth of nanotechnology. Although being an emerging discipline, nanotechnology has raised huge interest and expectations. Most of the enthusiasm comes from new possibilities and properties of nanomaterials. Biosensors (simple, robust, sensitive, cost-effective) combined with nanomaterials, also called nanobiosensors, are serving as bridge between advanced detection/diagnostics and daily/routine tests. Here we review some of the latest applications of nanobiosensors in diagnostics field.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) exerts relevant roles in progression and dissemination of several tumors. However, factors influencing its production and secretion have not been fully characterized. The main limitation is the lack of specific, sensitive and widely available techniques to detect and quantify PTHLH. We have developed a lateral flow immunoassay using gold nanoparticles label for the fast and easy detection of PTHLH in lysates and culture media of three human cell lines (HaCaT, LA-N-1, SK-N-AS). Levels in culture media and lysates ranged from 11 to 20 ng/mL and 0.66 to 0.87 μg/mL respectively. Results for HaCaT are in agreement to the previously reported, whereas LA-N-1 and SK-N-AS have been evaluated for the first time. The system also exhibits good performance in human serum samples. This methodology represents a helpful tool for future in vitro and in vivo studies of mechanisms involved in PTHLH production as well as for diagnostics. From the Clinical Editor: Parathyroid Hormone-like Hormone (PTHLH) is known to be secreted by some tumors. However, the detection of this peptide remains difficult. The authors here described their technique of using gold nanoparticles as label for the detection of PTHLH by Lateral-flow immunoassays (LFIAs). The positive results may also point a way to using the same technique for the rapid determination of other relevant cancer proteins.

Abstract
A nanobiosensor based on the use of porous magnetic microspheres (PMM) as efficient capturing/pre-concentrating platform is presented for detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers. These PMMs prepared by a multistep swelling polymerization combined with iron oxide precipitation afford carboxyl functional groups suitable for immobilization of antibodies on the particle surface allowing an enhanced efficiency in the capturing of AD biomarkers from human serum samples. The AD biomarkers signaling is produced by gold nanoparticle (AuNP) tags monitored through their electrocatalytic effect towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Novel properties of PMMs in terms of high functionality and high active area available for enhanced catalytic activity of the captured AuNPs electrocatalytic tags are exploited for the first time. A thorough characterization by scanning transmission electron microscope in high angle annular dark field mode (STEM-HAADF) demonstrates the enhanced ability of PMMs to capture a higher quantity of analyte and consequently of electrocatalytic label, when compared with commercially available microspheres. The optimized and characterized PMMs are also applied for the first time for the detection of beta amyloid and ApoE at clinical relevant levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum and plasma samples of patients suffering from AD.

Abstract
Potentiometric sensing represents the preferred technique in many routine measurements of pH and ions. Unfortunately, the simplicity of the technique has not been exploited so far in high throughput biomolecular sensing. In this work, we demonstrate the capabilities of the hybrid functional material carbon nanotubes/aptamer for the creation of a new generation of nuclease-resistant aptasensors using the potentiometric transduction capabilities of single-walled carbon nanotubes in combination with the recognition capabilities of a protein-specific RNA aptamer. The aptasensor was used to detect and identify disease-related proteins at attomolar concentration values in a rapid and non-expensive way. The variable surface glycoprotein from African Trypanosomes was chosen as an ideal model system for a pathogenic exoantigen protein in a clinical sample. Variations in the electromotive force are achieved in real-time upon the direct addition of diluted real blood samples containing the target protein thus eliminating the need of preliminary matrix removal. This work would open the door to real-time diagnostic assays for a wide range of diseases, but also to the rapid molecular detection of several proteins in truly customizable protein biosensing platforms.

Abstract
Here we present a new strategy for a simple and fast detection of cancer circulating cells (CTCs) using nanoparticles. The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco2) was chosen as a model CTC. Similarly to other adenocarcinomas, colon adenocarcinoma cells have a strong expression of EpCAM, and for this reason this glycoprotein was used as the capture target. We combine the capturing capability of anti-EpCAM functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) and the specific labeling through antibody-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), with the sensitivity of the AuNPs-electrocatalyzed hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) detection technique. The fully optimized process was used for the electrochemical detection of Caco2 cells in the presence of monocytes (THP-1), other circulating cells that could interfere in real blood samples. Therefore we obtained a novel and simple in situ-like sensing format that we applied for the rapid quantification of AuNPs-labeled CTCs in the presence of other human cells.

Abstract
A rapid nanochannel-based immunoassay capable of the filtering and subsequent detection of proteins in whole blood without any sample preparation is described. This is accomplished by using a nanoporous/nanochannel membrane modified with antibodies, the conductivity of which toward a redox indicator is tuned by primary and secondary immunoreactions with proteins and gold nanoparticles. This interesting nanopore blockage by gold nanoparticles is enhanced by silver deposition that further decreases the diffusion of the signaling indicator through the nanochannel. The efficiency of the nanochannels to act as immunoreaction platforms including the use of nanoparticles is also monitored by microscopic techniques. Successful detection of immunoglobulins including a cancer biomarker is achieved in buffer as well as in whole blood. This system constitutes an efficient immunoassay capable of detecting up to 52 U mL(-1) of CA15-3. The developed nanochannel/nanoparticle-based device can be used for several other proteins and extended also to DNA detection with interest not only for diagnostics but also environmental monitoring, food analysis, safety, and security applications.
