Picomolar Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide using Enzyme-free Inorganic Nanoparticle-based Sensor.

ABSTRACT: A philosophical shift has occurred in the field of biomedical sciences from treatment of late-stage disease symptoms to early detection and prevention. Ceria nanoparticles (CNPs) have been demonstrated to neutralize free radical chemical species associated with many life-threatening disease states such as cancers and neurodegenerative diseases by undergoing redox changes (Ce³⁺ ↔ Ce⁴⁺). Herein, we investigate the electrochemical response of multi-valent CNPs in presence of hydrogen peroxide and demonstrate an enzyme-free CNP-based biosensor capable of ultra-low (limit of quantitation: 0.1 pM) detection. Several preparations of CNPs with varying Ce³⁺:Ce⁴⁺ are produced and are analyzed by electrochemical methods. We find that an increasing magnitude of response in cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry correlates with increasing Ce⁴⁺ relative to Ce³⁺ and utilize this finding in the design of the sensor platform. The sensor retains sensitivity across a range of pH's and temperatures, wherein enzyme-based sensors will not function, and in blood serum: reflecting selectivity and robustness as a potential implantable biomedical device.

Rhodium nanoparticle-mesoporous silicon nanowire nanohybrids for hydrogen peroxide detection with high selectivity.

Project description:Developing nanostructured electrocatalysts, with low overpotential, high selectivity and activity has fundamental and technical importance in many fields. We report here rhodium nanoparticle and mesoporous silicon nanowire (RhNP@mSiNW) hybrids for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection with high electrocatalytic activity and selectivity. By employing electrodes that loaded with RhNP@mSiNW nanohybrids, interference caused from both many electroactive substances and dissolved oxygen were eliminated by electrochemical assaying at an optimal potential of +75 mV. Furthermore, the electrodes exhibited a high detection sensitivity of 0.53 ?A/mM and fast response (< 5 s). This high-performance nanohybrid electrocatalyst has great potential for future practical application in various oxidase-base biosensors.

Expedite Fluorescent Sensor Prototype for Hydrogen Peroxide Detection with Long-Life Test Substrates.

Project description:We report a practical fluorescent sensor device for the trace amount detection of hydrogen peroxide vapor. In this paper, we have significantly improved the performance of fluorescence analysis for the detection of peroxides by solving the problems of packaging and storage of active materials and transferring the chemical experiment phenomenon to the actual project output. The fluorescent sensor molecule, test substrates, mixing methods, and the way to improve the life time are carefully studied. Combined with the design of circuit and programming, a field-test prototype was designed for peroxide explosives and its performance and algorithm were screened and optimized. In the detection of traces of H2O2 generated by ultraviolet separation or leaked as inherent impurities, the high-efficiency and rapid detection of peroxide-based explosives is achieved. The detection limit of H2O2 is expected to reach 2 ppb, and the response time can reach <0.5 s.

Controlling the Release of Hydrogen Peroxide from Catechol-Based Adhesive Using Silica Nanoparticle.

Project description:Catechol-based bioadhesives generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a byproduct during the curing process. H2O2 can have both beneficial and deleterious effects on biological systems depending on its concentration. To control the amount of H2O2 released from catechol-containing polyethylene glycol-based adhesive (PEG-DA), adhesive was formulated with silica nanoparticles (SiNP) prepared with increased porosity and acid treatment to increase Si-OH surface content. These SiNP demonstrated increased surface area, which promoted interaction with catechol and resulted in increased cure rate, bulk mechanical properties and adhesive properties of PEG-DA. Most importantly, SiNP demonstrated a 50% reduction in the released H2O2 while improving the cell viability and proliferation of three primary cell types, including rat dermal fibroblasts, human epidermal keratinocytes, and human tenocytes. Additionally, SiNP degraded into soluble Si, which also contributed to increased cell proliferation. Incorporation of porous and acid-treated SiNP can be a useful approach to simultaneously modulate the concentration of H2O2 while increasing the adhesive performance of catechol-based adhesives.

Nox4: a hydrogen peroxide-generating oxygen sensor.

Project description:Nox4 is an oddity among members of the Nox family of NADPH oxidases [seven isoenzymes that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) from molecular oxygen] in that it is constitutively active. All other Nox enzymes except for Nox4 require upstream activators, either calcium or organizer/activator subunits (p47(phox), NOXO1/p67(phox), and NOXA1). Nox4 may also be unusual as it reportedly releases hydrogen peroxide (H?O?) in contrast to Nox1-Nox3 and Nox5, which release superoxide, although this result is controversial in part because of possible membrane compartmentalization of superoxide, which may prevent detection. Our studies were undertaken (1) to identify the Nox4 ROS product using a membrane-free, partially purified preparation of Nox4 and (2) to test the hypothesis that Nox4 activity is acutely regulated not by activator proteins or calcium, but by cellular pO?, allowing it to function as an O? sensor, the output of which is signaling H?O?. We find that approximately 90% of the electron flux through isolated Nox4 produces H?O? and 10% forms superoxide. The kinetic mechanism of H?O? formation is consistent with a mechanism involving binding of one oxygen molecule, which is then sequentially reduced by the heme in two one-electron reduction steps first to form a bound superoxide intermediate and then H?O?; kinetics are not consistent with a previously proposed internal superoxide dismutation mechanism involving two oxygen binding/reduction steps for each H?O? formed. Critically, Nox4 has an unusually high Km for oxygen (?18%), similar to the values of known oxygen-sensing enzymes, compared with a Km of 2-3% for Nox2, the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. This allows Nox4 to generate H?O? as a function of oxygen concentration throughout a physiological range of pO2 values and to respond rapidly to changes in pO?.

Staphylococcus aureus PerR Is a Hypersensitive Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor using Iron-mediated Histidine Oxidation.

Project description:In many Gram-positive bacteria PerR is a major peroxide sensor whose repressor activity is dependent on a bound metal cofactor. The prototype for PerR sensors, the Bacillus subtilis PerRBS protein, represses target genes when bound to either Mn(2+) or Fe(2+) as corepressor, but only the Fe(2+)-bound form responds to H2O2. The orthologous protein in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, PerRSA, plays important roles in H2O2 resistance and virulence. However, PerRSA is reported to only respond to Mn(2+) as corepressor, which suggests that it might rely on a distinct, iron-independent mechanism for H2O2 sensing. Here we demonstrate that PerRSA uses either Fe(2+) or Mn(2+) as corepressor, and that, like PerRBS, the Fe(2+)-bound form of PerRSA senses physiological levels of H2O2 by iron-mediated histidine oxidation. Moreover, we show that PerRSA is poised to sense very low levels of endogenous H2O2, which normally cannot be sensed by B. subtilis PerRBS. This hypersensitivity of PerRSA accounts for the apparent lack of Fe(2+)-dependent repressor activity and consequent Mn(2+)-specific repressor activity under aerobic conditions. We also provide evidence that the activity of PerRSA is directly correlated with virulence, whereas it is inversely correlated with H2O2 resistance, suggesting that PerRSA may be an attractive target for the control of S. aureus pathogenesis.

Detection of hydrogen peroxide in Photosystem II (PSII) using catalytic amperometric biosensor.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is known to be generated in Photosystem II (PSII) via enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. Detection of H2O2 by different spectroscopic techniques has been explored, however its sensitive detection has always been a challenge in photosynthetic research. During the recent past, fluorescence probes such as Amplex Red (AR) has been used but is known to either lack specificity or limitation with respect to the minimum detection limit of H2O2. We have employed an electrochemical biosensor for real time monitoring of H2O2 generation at the level of sub-cellular organelles. The electrochemical biosensor comprises of counter electrode and working electrodes. The counter electrode is a platinum plate, while the working electrode is a mediator based catalytic amperometric biosensor device developed by the coating of a carbon electrode with osmium-horseradish peroxidase which acts as H2O2 detection sensor. In the current study, generation and kinetic behavior of H2O2 in PSII membranes have been studied under light illumination. Electrochemical detection of H2O2 using the catalytic amperometric biosensor device is claimed to serve as a promising technique for detection of H2O2 in photosynthetic cells and subcellular structures including PSII or thylakoid membranes. It can also provide a precise information on qualitative determination of H2O2 and thus can be widely used in photosynthetic research.

A Dual Sensor for pH and Hydrogen Peroxide Using Polymer-Coated Optical Fibre Tips.

Project description:This paper demonstrates the first single optical fibre tip probe for concurrent detection of both hydrogen peroxide (H?O?) concentration and pH of a solution. The sensor is constructed by embedding two fluorophores: carboxyperoxyfluor-1 (CPF1) and seminaphtharhodafluor-2 (SNARF2) within a polymer matrix located on the tip of the optical fibre. The functionalised fibre probe reproducibly measures pH, and is able to accurately detect H?O? over a biologically relevant concentration range. This sensor offers potential for non-invasive detection of pH and H?O? in biological environments using a single optical fibre.

Detection of Few Hydrogen Peroxide Molecules Using Self-Reporting Fluorescent Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays an important role in various signal transduction pathways and regulates important cellular processes. However, monitoring and quantitatively assessing the distribution of H2O2 molecules inside living cells requires a nanoscale sensor with molecular-level sensitivity. Herein, we show the first demonstration of sub-10 nm-sized fluorescent nanodiamonds (NDs) as catalysts for the decomposition of H2O2 and the production of radical intermediates at the nanoscale. Furthermore, the nitrogen-vacancy quantum sensors inside the NDs are employed to quantify the aforementioned radicals. We believe that our method of combining the peroxidase-mimicking activities of the NDs with their intrinsic quantum sensor showcases their application as self-reporting H2O2 sensors with molecular-level sensitivity and nanoscale spatial resolution. Given the robustness and the specificity of the sensor, our results promise a new platform for elucidating the role of H2O2 at the cellular level.

Optimization of the HyPer sensor for robust real-time detection of hydrogen peroxide in the rice blast fungus.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and breakdown have been studied in detail in plant-pathogenic fungi, including the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae; however, the examination of the dynamic process of ROS production in real time has proven to be challenging. We resynthesized an existing ROS sensor, called HyPer, to exhibit optimized codon bias for fungi, specifically Neurospora crassa, and used a combination of microscopy and plate reader assays to determine whether this construct could detect changes in fungal ROS during the plant infection process. Using confocal microscopy, we were able to visualize fluctuating ROS levels during the formation of an appressorium on an artificial hydrophobic surface, as well as during infection on host leaves. Using the plate reader, we were able to ascertain measurements of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) levels in conidia as detected by the MoHyPer sensor. Overall, by the optimization of codon usage for N. crassa and related fungal genomes, the MoHyPer sensor can be used as a robust, dynamic and powerful tool to both monitor and quantify H2 O2 dynamics in real time during important stages of the plant infection process.
