Ion-Selective Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors for Monitoring Drug Effects on Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activation in Live Cells.


ABSTRACT: We developed ion-selective field-effect transistor (FET) sensors with floating electrodes for the monitoring of the potassium ion release by the stimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on PC12 cells. Here, ion-selective valinomycin-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membranes were coated on the floating electrode-based carbon nanotube (CNT) FETs to build the sensors. The sensors could selectively measure potassium ions with a minimum detection limit of 1 nM. We utilized the sensor for the real-time monitoring of the potassium ion released from a live cell stimulated by nicotine. Notably, this method also allowed us to quantitatively monitor the cell responses by agonists and antagonists of nAChRs. These results suggest that our ion-selective CNT-FET sensor has potential uses in biological and medical researches such as the monitoring of ion-channel activity and the screening of drugs.
