An Nd3+-Sensitized Upconversion Fluorescent Sensor for Epirubicin Detection.

ABSTRACT: We describe here an Nd3+-sensitized upconversion fluorescent sensor for epirubicin (EPI) detection in aqueous solutions under 808 nm laser excitation. The upconversion fluorescence of nanoparticles is effectively quenched in the presence of EPI via a fluorescence resonance energy transfer mechanism. The dynamic quenching constant was 2.10 × 104 M-1. Normalized fluorescence intensity increased linearly as the EPI concentration was raised from 0.09 ?M to 189.66 ?M and the fluorometric detection limit was 0.05 ?M. The sensing method was simple, fast, and low-cost and was able to be applied to determine the levels of EPI in urine with spike recoveries from 97.5% to 102.6%. Another important feature of the proposed fluorescent sensor is that it holds a promising potential for in vivo imaging and detection due to its distinctive properties such as weak autofluorescence, low heating effect, and high light penetration depth.

A universal CRISPR-Cas14a responsive triple-sensitized upconversion photoelectrochemical sensor.

Project description:It has recently been discovered that, like other members of the Cas family (12a and 13a), the clustered regularly interspaced short palindrome repeat CRISPR-Cas14a system not only mediates high-sensitivity detection with exceptionally strong gene editing ability but is also generally useful for DNA detection via fluorescence. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors have been widely applied as efficient analytical tools. Measuring electrical signals is more cost-effective and the necessary equipment is more easily portable than fluorescence signal detectors, but their stability still needs to be improved. The high base resolution of CRISPR-Cas14a can compensate for such shortcomings. Therefore, electrical signals and fluorescence signals were combined, and the development of a universal CRISPR-Cas14a-responsive ultrasensitive upconversion PEC sensor is described in this paper. Moreover, strand displacement amplification (SDA) and a near-infrared (NIR) light source were utilized to further improve the stability and sensitivity of the photoelectric signals. At the same time, the modified working electrode (UCNPs-ssDNA-CdS@Au/ITO) on the three-electrode disposable sensor was used as the reporter probe, which cooperates with the trans-cleavage activity of Cas14a endonuclease. To verify the universality of this sensor, the UCNPs-Cas14a-based PEC sensor was applied for the detection of the small-molecule toxin T2 and protein kinase PTK7. Here, we report that the limit of detection of this reagent was within the fg range, successfully applied to the detection of T2 in oats and PTK7 in human serum. We propose that by combining PEC and CRISPR-14a, UCNPs-Cas14a-based PEC sensors could become powerful drivers for the extensive development of ultrasensitive, accurate and cost-effective universal sensors for detection and diagnosis.

Spiropyran-modified upconversion nanocomposite as a fluorescent sensor for diagnosis of histidinemia.

Project description:Histidinemia is a congenital metabolic disorder where the histidine (His) metabolism is blocked, resulting in increased concentrations of His in blood and urine. The disease causes an abnormal development of the patient's nervous system, which leads to many serious illnesses. Therefore, it is very important to diagnose early. In this study, we developed a novel fluorescent nanosensor NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+@SiO2-spiropyran (UCNP@SiO2-SP). The nanosensor displayed a "turn-off" fluorescence response towards His. When His was mixed with UCNP@SiO2-SP, His could specifically bind to SP, which could cause the isomerization of SP. The structure of SP was changed from spiroform into merocyanine form. The luminescence of the sensor was overlapped with the absorption of the merocyanine form. As a result, His will lead to fluorescence quenching of the sensor based on inner filter effects (IFE), which can be used to detect His. Importantly, as the first report of a UCNP@SiO2-SP nanosensor for detecting His, this method exhibits good selectivity and anti-interference capability. The detection limit is 4.4 μM. In addition, the amount of His in urine was also measured, suggesting the applicability of this sensor for histidinemia diagnosis.

Surface chemistry modified upconversion nanoparticles as fluorescent sensor array for discrimination of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The identification of foodborne pathogenic bacteria types plays a crucial role in food safety and public health. In consideration of long culturing times, tedious operations and the desired specific recognition elements in conventional methods, the alternative fluorescent sensor arrays can offer a high-effective approach in bacterial identification by using multiple cross-reactive receptors. Herein, we achieve this goal by constructing an upconversion fluorescent sensor array based on anti-stokes luminogens featuring a series of functional lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with phenylboronic acid, phosphate groups, or imidazole ionic liquid. The prevalent spotlight effect of microorganism and the electrostatic interaction between UCNPs and bacteria endow such sensor array an excellent discrimination property. RESULTS:Seven common foodborne pathogenic bacteria including two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes) and five Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Cronobacter sakazakii, Shigella flexneri and Vibrio parahaemolyticus) are precisely identified with 100% accuracy via linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Furthermore, blends of bacteria have been identified accurately. Bacteria in real samples (tap water, milk and beef) have been effectively discriminated with 92.1% accuracy. CONCLUSIONS:Current fluorescence sensor array is a powerful tool for high-throughput bacteria identification, which overcomes the time-consuming bacteria culture and heavy dependence of specific recognition elements. The high efficiency of whole bacterial cell detection and the discrimination capability of life and death bacteria can brighten the application of fluorescence sensor array.

Upconversion fluorescent nanoparticles based-sensor array for discrimination of the same variety red grape wines.

Project description:In this research, a novel fluorescent sensor array based on upconversion nanomaterials (UCNPs) for the discrimination of the same variety red grape wines from different manufacturers was developed. The sensor array was composed of six elements: one positively charged UCNPs modified with guanidine groups (UCNPs@GDN), two negatively charged UCNPs modified with sulfonic acid groups (UCNPs@SO3H) and phosphonic acid groups (UCNPs@PO(OH)2), respectively, and their mixture 1 (UCNPs@GDN + UCNPs@SO3H), mixture 2 (UCNPs@GDN + UCNPs@PO(OH)2) and mixture 3 {UCNPs@GDN + UCNPs@SO3H + UCNPs@PO(OH)2}. The discrimination mechanism is mainly attributed to the emission of those upconversion fluorescent nanoparticles being quenched by organic ingredients that usually exist in red grape wines. The discrimination of red grape wines was carried out by employing UCNPs@GDN, UCNPs@SO3H and UCNPs@PO(OH)2 in pH = 7.0 HEPES buffer, the mixture 1 and mixture 2 in pH = 9.0 PBS buffer, and mixture 3 in pH = 6.0 Tris-HCl buffer. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the data obtained from our established array showed obvious distinction among the nine red grape wines from different manufacturers. The present work is expected to inspire more marvellous research in the fields of UCNPs and red grape wines identification.

A Peptoid-Based Fluorescent Sensor for Cyanide Detection.

Project description:Peptoids, N-substituted glycine oligomers, are versatile peptidomimetics with diverse biomedical applications. However, strategies to the development of novel fluorescent peptoids as chemical sensors have not been extensively explored, yet. Here, we synthesized a novel peptoid-based fluorescent probe in which a coumarin moiety was incorporated via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. Fluorescence of the newly generated coumarin-peptoid was dramatically quenched upon coordination of the Cu(2+) ion, and the resulting peptoid-Cu(2+) complex exhibited significant Turn-ON fluorescence following the addition of CN(-). The rapid and reversible response, combined with cyanide selectivity of the synthesized peptoid, reflects a multistep photo-process and supports its utility as a new type of CN(-) sensor.

Ratiometric nanothermometer in vivo based on triplet sensitized upconversion.

Project description:Temperature is an essential factor that counts for living systems where complicated vital activities are usually temperature dependent. In vivo temperature mapping based on non-contact optical approach will be beneficial for revealing the physiological phenomena behind with minimized influence to the organism. Herein, a highly thermal-sensitive upconversion system based on triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) mechanism is pioneered to indicate body temperature variation sensitively over the physiological temperature range. The temperature-insensitive NaYF4: Nd nanophosphors with NIR emission was incorporated into the temperature-responsive TTA-upconversion system to serve as an internal calibration unit. Consequently, a ratiometric thermometer capable of accurately monitoring the temperature changes in vivo was developed with high thermal sensitivity (~7.1% K-1) and resolution (~0.1 K).

DOX sensitized upconversion metal-organic frameworks for the pH responsive release and real-time detection of doxorubicin hydrochloride.

Project description:Drug resistance is a major obstacle in cancer treatment, and designing a material that monitors real-time drug release remains a top priority. In this study, metal-organic frameworks doped with lanthanum and thulium were synthesized and then coated with aminated silica to form La/Tm-MOF@d-SiO2 as a drug carrier. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was selected as a drug model, and the drug loading and release were investigated. It was found that the release of DOX under acidic conditions reached an optimal level, indicating the pH-responsiveness of La/Tm-MOF@d-SiO2. Under acidic conditions (pH = 5.8), upconversion fluorescence was generated after loading DOX on La/Tm-MOF@d-SiO2. At pH = 5.8, the longer the drug released, the stronger the upconversion fluorescence. It was found that the upconversion fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to the amount of drug released; thus, the real-time monitoring of DOX release in tumor cells can be performed based on the upconversion fluorescence.

Multimodal Fluorescent Polymer Sensor for Highly Sensitive Detection of Nitroaromatics.

Project description:Detection of nitroaromatic explosives with high sensitivity and selectivity is extremely important for civilian and military safety. Here, we report the synthesis and multimodal sensing applications of an emissive alanine based dansyl tagged copolymer P(MMA-co-Dansyl-Ala-HEMA) (DCP), synthesized by RAFT copolymerization. The fluorescent co-polymer exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards conventional nitroaromatic explosives such as DNT, TNT and TNP in solution at lower range of µM level and also with saturated vapor of NACs. The quantum yield of the co-polymer was measured to be very high (Φf = 77%) which make it an ideal candidate for sensing in solution as well as in vapor phase. The fluorescence signal from DCP copolymer gets significantly quenched upon addition of aliquots of DNT, TNT, and TNP. The Stern-Volmer constant was calculated to be very high. The quenching mechanism was further established by fluorescence up-conversion, time-resolved fluorescence and steady state absorption spectroscopy. The energetics of sensing process was calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies. We also fabricate a thin film polymer sensor which was able to detect nitroaromatic vapors with high selectivity. This opens up the possibility of building a low-cost and light-weight nitroaromatic explosives sensor for field use.

A flexible and superhydrophobic upconversion-luminescence membrane as an ultrasensitive fluorescence sensor for single droplet detection.

Project description:A Ln3+-doped (Yb3+, Tm3+ or Yb3+, Er3+ co-doped) NaYF4 nanoparticle/polystyrene hybrid fibrous membrane (HFM) was fabricated using an electrospinning technique. The HFM shows upconversion luminescence (UCL), flexibility, superhydrophobicity and processability. The UCL membrane can be used as a fluorescence sensor to detect bioinformation from a single water droplet (~10 μl). Based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer, the detection limits of this sensor can reach 1 and 10 ppb for the biomolecule, avidin, and the dye molecule, Rhodamine B, respectively, which are superior to most of the fluorescence sensors reported in previous works. After the fluorescence detection, the target droplet was easily removed without residues on the UCL membrane surface due to its superhydrophobic property, which exhibits an excellent recyclability that cannot be achieved by traditional liquid-based detection systems.
