Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1273:341540. [PMID: 37423655 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Accurate and sensitive determination of recombinant glycoproteins is in great demand for the treatment of anemia-induced chronic kidney disease and the illegal use of doping agents in sports. In this study, an antibody and enzyme-free electrochemical method for the detection of recombinant glycoproteins was proposed via the sequential chemical recognition of hexahistidine (His6) tag and glycan residue on the target protein under the cooperation interaction of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-Ni2+complex and boronic acid, respectively. Specifically, NTA-Ni2+ complex-modified magnetic beads (MBs-NTA-Ni2+) are employed to selectively capture the recombinant glycoprotein through the coordination interaction between His6 tag and NTA-Ni2+ complex. Then, boronic acid-modified Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) were recruited by glycans on the glycoprotein via the formation of reversible boronate ester bonds. MOFs with abundant Cu2+ ions acted as efficient electroactive labels to directly produce amplified electrochemical signals. By using recombinant human erythropoietin as a model analyte, this method showed a wide linear detection range from 0.01 to 50 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 5.3 pg/mL. With the benefits from the simple operation and low cost, the stepwise chemical recognition-based method shows great promise in the determination of recombinant glycoproteins in the fields of biopharmaceutical research, anti-doping analysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors have shown great potential in clinical diagnosis, food safety, environmental protection, and other fields. The feasible and innovative combination of enzyme catalysis and other signal-amplified elements has yielded exciting progress in the development of electrochemical immunosensors. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is one of the most popularly used enzyme reporters in bioassays. It has been widely utilized to design electrochemical immunosensors owing to its significant advantages (e.g., high catalytic activity, high turnover number, and excellent substrate specificity). In this work, we summarized the achievements of electrochemical immunosensors with ALP as the signal reporter. We mainly focused on detection principles and signal amplification strategies and briefly discussed the challenges regarding how to further improve the performance of ALP-based immunoassays.

BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:bios13020244. [PMID: 36832010 PMCID: PMC9953955 DOI: 10.3390/bios13020244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The current attempt was made to detect the amino acid homocysteine (HMC) using an electrochemical aptasensor. A high-specificity HMC aptamer was used to fabricate an Au nanostructured/carbon paste electrode (Au-NS/CPE). HMC at high blood concentration (hyperhomocysteinemia) can be associated with endothelial cell damage leading to blood vessel inflammation, thereby possibly resulting in atherogenesis leading to ischemic damage. Our proposed protocol was to selectively immobilize the aptamer on the gate electrode with a high affinity to the HMC. The absence of a clear alteration in the current due to common interferants (methionine (Met) and cysteine (Cys)) indicated the high specificity of the sensor. The aptasensor was successful in sensing HMC ranging between 0.1 and 30 μM, with a narrow limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.03 μM.
