Comparison of separation modes for microchip electrophoresis of proteins.

Project description:Separation of a set of model proteins was tested on a microchip electrophoresis analytical platform capable of sample injection by two different electrokinetic mechanisms. A range of separation modes-microchip capillary zone electrophoresis, microchip micellar electrokinetic chromatography, and nanoparticle-based sieving-was tested on glass and polydimethylsiloxane/glass microchips and with silica-nanoparticle colloidal arrays. The model proteins calmodulin (18 kiloDalton), bovine serum albumin (66 kDa), and concanavalin (106 kDa) were labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 for laser-induced fluorescence detection. The best separation and resolution were obtained in a silica-nanoparticle colloidal array chip.

Microchip electrophoresis separation of a panel of preterm birth biomarkers.

Project description:Preterm birth (PTB) is responsible for over one million infant deaths annually worldwide. Often, the first and only indication of PTB risk is the onset of early labor. Thus, there is an urgent need for an early PTB risk diagnostic that is inexpensive, reliable, and robust. Here, we describe the development of a microchip electrophoresis (?CE) method for separating a mixture of six PTB protein and peptide biomarkers present in maternal blood serum. ?CE devices were photografted with a poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate surface coating to regulate EOF and reduce nonspecific analyte adsorption. Separation conditions including buffer pH, buffer concentration, and applied electric field were varied to improve biomarker peak resolution while minimizing deleterious effects like Joule heating. In this way, it was possible to separate six PTB biomarkers, the first ?CE separation of this biomarker panel. LODs were also measured for each of the six PTB biomarkers. In the future, this ?CE separation can be integrated with upstream maternal blood serum sample preparation steps to yield a complete PTB risk diagnosis microdevice.

Separation and detection of peroxynitrite using microchip electrophoresis with amperometric detection.

Project description:Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) is a highly reactive species implicated in the pathology of several cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. It is generated in vivo by the diffusion-limited reaction of nitric oxide (NO(*)) and superoxide anion ((*)O(2)(-)) and is known to be produced during periods of inflammation. Detection of ONOO(-) is made difficult by its short half-life under physiological conditions (approximately 1 s). Here we report a method for the separation and detection of ONOO(-) from other electroactive species utilizing a microchip electrophoresis device incorporating an amperometric detection scheme. Microchip electrophoresis permits shorter separation times (approximately 25 s for ONOO(-)) and higher temporal resolution than conventional capillary electrophoresis (several minutes). This faster analysis allows ONOO(-) to be detected before substantial degradation occurs, and the increased temporal resolution permits more accurate tracking of dynamic changes in chemical systems.

A Rolling Circle-Amplified G-Quadruplex/Hemin DNAzyme for Chemiluminescence Immunoassay of the SARS-CoV-2 Protein.

Project description:Sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 protein remains a great research interest in clinical screening and diagnosis owing to the coronavirus epidemic. Here, an ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) imaging strategy was developed through proximity hybridization to trigger the formation of a rolling circle-amplified G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 protein. The target protein was first recognized by a pair of DNA-antibody conjugates, Ab-1 and Ab-2, to form a proximity-ligated complex, Ab-1/SARS-CoV-2/Ab-2, which contained a DNA sequence complemental to block DNA and thus induced a strand displacement reaction to release the primer from a block/primer complex. The released primer then triggered a rolling circle amplification to form abundant DNAzyme units in the presence of hemin, which produced a strong chemiluminescent signal for the detection of the target protein by catalyzing the oxidation of luminol by hydrogen peroxide. The proposed assay showed a detectable concentration range over 5 orders of magnitude with the detection limit down to 6.46 fg/mL. The excellent selectivity, simple procedure, acceptable accuracy, and intrinsic high throughput of the imaging technique for analysis of serum samples demonstrated the potential applicability of the proposed detection method in clinical screening and diagnosis.

Chaperone Copolymer Assisted G-Quadruplex-Based Signal Amplification Assay for Highly Sensitive Detection of VEGF.

Project description:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical biomarker in the angiogenesis of several cancers. Nowadays, novel approaches to rapid, sensitive, and reliable VEGF detection are urgently required for early cancer diagnosis. Cationic comb-type copolymer, poly(L-lysine)-graft-dextran (PLL-g-Dex) accelerates DNA hybridization and chain exchange reaction while stabilizing the DNA assembly structure. In this work, we examined the chaperone activity of PLL-g-Dex to assist G-quadruplex-based fluorescent DNA biosensors for sensitive detection of VEGF. This convenient and effective strategy is based on chitosan hydrogel, c-myc, Thioflavin T (ThT), VEGF aptamer, and its partially complementary strand. The results show that chaperone copolymer PLL-g-Dex significantly promotes the accumulation of G-quadruplex and assembles into G-wires, allowing an effective signal amplification. Using this method, the detection limit of VEGF was as low as 23 pM, better than many previous works on aptamer-based VEGF detection. This chaperone copolymer-assisted signal amplification strategy has potential applications in the highly sensitive detection of target proteins, even including viruses.

Self-associating block copolymer networks for microchip electrophoresis provide enhanced DNA separation via "inchworm" chain dynamics.

Project description:We describe a novel class of DNA separation media for microchip electrophoresis, "physically cross-linked" block copolymer networks, which provide rapid (<4.5 min) and remarkably enhanced resolution of DNA in a size range critical for genotyping. Linear poly(acrylamide-co-dihexylacrylamide) (LPA-co-DHA) comprising as little as 0.13 mol % dihexylacrylamide yields substantially improved electrophoretic DNA separations compared to matched molar mass linear polyacrylamide. Single-molecule videomicroscopic images of DNA electrophoresis reveal novel chain dynamics in LPA-co-DHA matrixes, resembling inchworm movement, to which we attribute the increased DNA resolution. Substantial improvements in DNA peak separation are obtained, in particular, in LPA-co-DHA solutions at polymer/copolymer concentrations near the interchain entanglement threshold. Higher polymer concentrations yield enhanced separations only for small DNA molecules (<120 base pairs). Hydrophobically cross-linked networks offer advantages over conventional linear polymers based on enhanced separation performance (or speed) and over chemically cross-linked gels because hydrophobic cross-links can be reversibly broken, allowing facile microchannel loading.

Multiplexed Western Blotting Using Microchip Electrophoresis.

Project description:Western blotting is a commonly used protein assay that combines the selectivity of electrophoretic separation and immunoassay. The technique is limited by long time, manual operation with mediocre reproducibility, and large sample consumption, typically 10-20 ?g per assay. Western blots are also usually used to measure only one protein per assay with an additional housekeeping protein for normalization. Measurement of multiple proteins is possible; however, it requires stripping membranes of antibody and then reprobing with a second antibody. Miniaturized alternatives to Western blot based on microfluidic or capillary electrophoresis have been developed that enable higher-throughput, automation, and greater mass sensitivity. In one approach, proteins are separated by electrophoresis on a microchip that is dragged along a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane so that as proteins exit the chip they are captured on the membrane for immunoassay. In this work, we improve this method to allow multiplexed protein detection. Multiple injections made from the same sample can be deposited in separate tracks so that each is probed with a different antibody. To further enhance multiplexing capability, the electrophoresis channel dimensions were optimized for resolution while keeping separation and blotting times to less than 8 min. Using a 15 ?m deep × 50 ?m wide × 8.6 cm long channel, it is possible to achieve baseline resolution of proteins that differ by 5% in molecular weight, e.g., ERK1 (44 kDa) from ERK2 (42 kDa). This resolution allows similar proteins detected by cross-reactive antibodies in a single track. We demonstrate detection of 11 proteins from 9 injections from a single Jurkat cell lysate sample consisting of 400 ng of total protein using this procedure. Thus, multiplexed Western blots are possible without cumbersome stripping and reprobing steps.

Biocatalytic Amplification of UV Signal in Capillary Electrophoresis of MicroRNA.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are new potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and classification of cancer. This study is the first attempt to use biocatalytic amplification reactions combined with capillary electrophoresis to detect multiple miRNAs simultaneously. In this way, miRNAs, as catalysts, can catalyze two single strands of DNA to form double-strand DNA. Feasibility was demonstrated by non-gel capillary electrophoresis coupled with UV detection (NGCE-UV). The detection limit was improved down to 1.0 nM, having ca. 103-fold improvement. This method has a good linear range of between 3.0 nM and 300 nM, with R2 at 0.99, recovery at 88-115%, and peak area precision at 1-12.7%. Using three target miRNAs as a model can achieve the baseline separation and good selectivity. The proposed biocatalysis coupled with a capillary electrophoresis-based method is simple, rapid, multiplexed, and cost-effective, making it potentially applicable for simultaneous, large-scale screening for other nucleic acids biomarkers and related research.

Microchip Electrophoresis Assay for Calmodulin Binding Proteins.

Project description:The calcium signaling protein calmodulin regulates numerous intracellular processes. We introduce a sensitive microchip assay to separate and detect calmodulin binding proteins. The assay utilizes an optimized microchip electrophoresis protein separation platform with laser-induced fluorescence detection. Fluorescence-labeled calmodulin modified with a photoreactive diazirine crosslinker allowed selective detection of calmodulin binding proteins. We demonstrate successful in-vitro crosslinking of calmodulin with two calmodulin binding proteins, calcineurin and nitric oxide synthase. We compare the efficacy of commonly applied electrophoretic separation modes: microchip capillary zone electrophoresis, microchip micellar electrokinetic chromatography/gel electrophoresis, and nanoparticle colloidal arrays. Out of the methods tested, polydymethylsiloxane/glass chips with microchip zone electrophoresis gave the poorest separation, whereas sieving methods in which electro-osmotic flow was suppressed gave the best separation of photoproducts of calmodulin conjugated with calmodulin binding proteins.
