Gold nanoparticle-polymer/biopolymer complexes for protein sensing.

ABSTRACT: Nanoparticle-based sensor arrays have been used to distinguish a wide range of biomolecular targets through pattern recognition. Such biosensors require selective receptors that generate a unique response pattern for each analyte. The tunable surface properties of gold nanoparticles make these systems excellent candidates for the recognition process. Likewise, the metallic core makes these particles fluorescence superquenchers, facilitating transduction of the binding event. In this report we analyze the role of gold nanoparticles as receptors in differentiating a diversity of important human proteins, and the role of the polymer/biopolymer fluorescent probes for transducing the binding event. A structure-activity relationship analysis of both the probes and the nanoparticles is presented, providing direction for the engineering of future sensor systems.

Gene Expression in Gold Nanoparticle Oligonucleotide Complexes treated Primary Immune Cells

Project description:Gold nanoparticle (AuâNP) oligonucleotide complexes hold considerable promise as an approach for manipulating intracellular gene regulation. We show that the uptake and intracellular fate of AuâNP oligonucleotide complexes is associated with endocytosis and signal transduction. A transcriptomeâwide functional analysis of gene expression implicated multiple signaling pathways specific for AuâNP oligonucleotide complexes. In primary immune cells, the complexes trigger the expression of proâinflammatory nonâchemotactic cytokines rather than the many IFNâstimulated genes critical for induction of the immune response to a microbial challenge. Concordant with these changes, exposure to AuâNP oligonucleotide complexes is also accompanied by marked activation of immune cells. This distinct gene expression profile is not replicated in the lineageârestricted 293T cell line. These findings provide insight into the functional significance of the recruitment of AuâNP oligonucleotide complexes to endocytic structures and highlight the need to study the systems effects of nanomaterials in a biologically relevant model. We investigated the effect of AuâNP antisense EGFP oligonucleotide complexes on the transcriptome by expression profiling of 293T cells under four conditions and PBMCs under six conditions plus HIV infection with the Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 microarray. To control for experimental variability, three of the six PBMC conditions (24â and 48âhours after AuâNP oligonucleotide complex treatment, and the negative control) were assayed independently a second time (biological replicates) so that 13 microarrays were hybridized in total. A different batch of AuâNP oligonucleotide complexes was used in the generation of the four 293T and three replicate PBMC samples, and the microarrays for these samples were processed separately.

Engineered Protein Polymer-Gold Nanoparticle Hybrid Materials for Small Molecule Delivery.

Project description:We have fabricated protein polymer-gold nanoparticle (P-GNP) nanocomposites that exhibit enhanced binding and delivery properties of the small hydrophobic molecule drug, curcumin, to the model breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. These hybrid biomaterials are constructed via in situ GNP templated-synthesis with genetically engineered histidine tags. The P-GNP nanocomposites exhibit enhanced small molecule loading, sustained release and increased uptake by MCF-7 cells. When compared to the proteins polymers alone, the P-GNPs demonstrate a greater than 7-fold increase in curcumin binding, a nearly 50% slower release profile and more than 2-fold increase in cellular uptake of curcumin. These results suggest that P-GNP nanocomposites serve as promising candidates for drug delivery vehicles.

Graphene Oxide/Ferrocene-Containing Polymer/Gold Nanoparticle Triple Nanocomposite.

Project description:A facile strategy to prepare GO-based nanocomposites with both gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and ferrocene (Fc) moieties was developed. The surface of GO was modified with PFcMAss homopolymer by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of a new methacrylate monomer of 2-((2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)disulfanyl)ethyl ferrocene-carboxylate (FcMAss), consisting of disulfide as an anchoring group for stabilizing AuNPs and Fc group as an additional functionality. AuNPs with an average diameter of about 4.1 nm were formed in situ on the surface of PFcMAss-decorated GO (GO-PFcMAss) via Brust-Schiffrin method to give GO-PFcMAss-AuNPs multifunctional nanocomposites bearing GO, AuNPs and Fc groups. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Since disulfide-containing polymers, rather than the commonly used thiol-containing compounds, were employed as ligands to stabilize AuNPs, much more stabilizing groups were attached onto the surface of GO, and thus more AuNPs were able to be introduced onto the surface of GO. Besides, polymeric chains on the surface of GO endowed GO-PFcMAss-AuNPs nanocomposites with excellent colloidal stability, and the usage of a disulfide group provides possibility to efficiently incorporate additional functionalities by easily modifying structure of disulfide-based monomer.

Polymer-assisted self-assembly of gold nanoparticle monolayers and their dynamical switching.

Project description:Dynamic switching of plasmonic monolayers built of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is achieved using nano-coatings of poly(isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM). The distance between AuNPs can be dynamically tuned through the repeatable expansion and contraction of the PNIPAM shells at different temperatures, which results in rapid switching of the optical properties of the AuNP monolayer.

Core-Satellite Gold Nanoparticle Complexes Grown by Inert Gas-Phase Condensation.

Project description:Spontaneous growth of complexes consisted of a number of individual nanoparticles in a controlled manner, particularly in demanding environments of gas-phase synthesis, is a fascinating opportunity for numerous potential applications. Here, we report the formation of such core-satellite gold nanoparticle structures grown by magnetron sputtering inert gas condensation. Combining high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and computational simulations, we reveal the adhesive and screening role of H2O molecules in formation of stable complexes consisted of one nanoparticle surrounded by smaller satellites. A single layer of H2O molecules, condensed between large and small gold nanoparticles, stabilizes positioning of nanoparticles with respect to one another during milliseconds of the synthesis time. The lack of isolated small gold nanoparticles on the substrate is explained by Brownian motion that is significantly broader for small-size particles. It is inferred that H2O as an admixture in the inert gas condensation opens up possibilities of controlling the final configuration of the different noble metal nanoparticles.

Quantum dot nanobarcodes: epitaxial assembly of nanoparticle-polymer complexes in homogeneous solution.

Project description:Multiplexed nanobarcodes have been prepared with quantum dots (QDs) and alternating amphiphilic copolymers consisting of hydrocarbons and maleic anhydride groups. In homogeneous solution, the QD-polymer complexes grow epitaxially into nanobeads of narrow size dispersity, which has been previously achieved only for micrometer-sized beads in the presence of solid supports. As a result of this new nanostructure formation mechanism, more than 250 QDs can be loaded into a nanobead of 100 nm in diameter. A model assay for sensitive detection of human prostate specific antigen has also been demonstrated using the QD-nanobeads as fluorescent reporters. This nanoparticle-polymer self-assembly technology is capable of producing a variety of nanostructures and is expected to open new opportunities in nanoparticle-based ultrasensitive detection and imaging.

Using Room Temperature Phosphorescence of Gold(I) Complexes for PAHs Sensing.

Project description:The synthesis of two new phosphane-gold(I)-napthalimide complexes has been performed and characterized. The compounds present luminescent properties with denoted room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) induced by the proximity of the gold(I) heavy atom that favors intersystem crossing and triplet state population. The emissive properties of the compounds together with the planarity of their chromophore were used to investigate their potential as hosts in the molecular recognition of different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, and pyrene were chosen to evaluate how the size and electronic properties can affect the host:guest interactions. Stronger affinity has been detected through emission titrations for the PAHs with extended aromaticity (anthracene and pyrene) and the results have been supported by DFT calculation studies.

Optimization of Temperature Sensing with Polymer-Embedded Luminescent Ru(II) Complexes.

Project description:Temperature is a key parameter in many fields and luminescence-based temperature sensing is a solution for those applications in which traditional (mechanical, electrical, or IR-based) thermometers struggle. Amongst the indicator dyes for luminescence thermometry, Ru(II) polyazaheteroaromatic complexes are an appealing option to profit from the widespread commercial technologies for oxygen optosensing based on them. Six ruthenium dyes have been studied, engineering their structure for both photostability and highest temperature sensitivity of their luminescence. The most apt Ru(II) complex turned out to be bis(1,10-phenanthroline)(4-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II), due to the combination of two strong-field chelating ligands (phen) and a substituent with electron withdrawing effect on a conjugated position of the third ligand (4-Clphen). In order to produce functional sensors, the dye has been best embedded into poly(ethyl cyanoacrylate), due to its low permeability to O₂, high temperature sensitivity of the indicator dye incorporated into this polymer, ease of fabrication, and excellent optical quality. Thermosensitive elements have been fabricated thereof as optical fiber tips for macroscopic applications (water courses monitoring) and thin spots for microscopic uses (temperature measurements in cell culture-on-a-chip). With such dye/polymer combination, temperature sensing based on luminescence lifetime measurements allows 0.05 °C resolution with linear response in the range of interest (0⁻40 °C).

Gold nanoparticle-based activatable probe for sensing ultralow levels of prostate-specific antigen.

Project description:It is still in high demand to develop extremely sensitive and accurate clinical tools for biomarkers of interest for early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. In this report, we present a highly sensitive and compatible gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based fluorescence-activatable probe for sensing ultralow levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in patient serum samples. The limit of detection of the newly developed probe for PSA was pushed down to 0.032 pg/mL, which is more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than that of the conventional fluorescence probe. The ultrahigh sensitivity of this probe was attributed to the high loading efficiency of the dyes on AuNP surfaces and high fluorescence quenching-unquenching abilities of the dye-AuNP pairs. The efficiency and robustness of this probe were investigated in patient serum samples, demonstrating the great potential of this probe in real-world applications.
