Carbon Dot/Naphthalimide Based Ratiometric Fluorescence Biosensor for Hyaluronidase Detection.

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer is the leading cause of death in patients with genitourinary cancer. An elevated level of hyaluronidase (HAase) was found in bladder cancer, which acts as an important biomarker for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer. Hence, there is a need to develop a simple enzymatic assay for the early recognition of HAase. Herein, we report a simple, sensitive, and ratiometric fluorescence assay for HAase detection under physiological conditions. The fluorescence assay was constructed by the adsorption of cationic carbon dots and positively charged naphthalimide on negatively charged hyaluronic acid and the development of a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism from carbon dots to a naphthalimide fluorophores. The hyaluronidase enzyme cleaves the hyaluronic acid in this assay, and breaking down the FRET mechanism induces ratiometric changes. A detection limit of 0.09 U/mL was achieved, which is less than the HAase level found in normal human body fluids. Moreover, this assay may be used for diagnosing HAase-related diseases.

Selective FRET nano probe based on carbon dots and naphthalimide-isatin for the ratiometric detection of peroxynitrite in drug-induced liver injury.

Project description:Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the most common cause for acute liver failure in the USA and Europe. However, most of DILI cases can recover or be prevented if treatment by the offending drug is discontinued. Recent research indicates that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) can be a potential indicator to diagnose DILI at an early stage. Therefore, the establishment of an assay to detect and track ONOO- in DILI cases is urgently needed. Here, a FRET-based ratiometric nano fluorescent probe CD-N-I was developed to detect ONOO- with high selectivity and excellent sensitivity. This probe consists of carbon dots and a naphthalimide-isatin peroxynitrite sensing system assembled based on electrostatic interactions. Using CD-N-I we were able to detect exogenous ONOO- in live cells and endogenous ONOO- in APAP-induced liver injury of HepG2 cells.

Multi-carbon dots and aptamer based signal amplification ratiometric fluorescence probe for protein tyrosine kinase 7 detection.

Project description:BackgroundProtein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK 7) is a membrane receptor, which can be found in various kinds of cancers. In view of this, detection of PTK 7 in the peripheral circulation would be an effective way for the early diagnosis of cancer.ResultsIn this work, a multi-carbon dots and aptamer-based signal amplification ratiometric fluorescence probe was developed. The fluorescence of the aptamer-modified y-CDs and b-CDs were respectively chosen as the detection signal and interior label. The fluorescence of y-CDs was quenched by Fe3O4 and cDNA (complement to aptamer) compound without PTK 7, but recovered by the addition of PTK 7. Then, the free aptamer was cut by DNase I, which amplified the detection signal. The ratiometric fluorescence sensor for PTK 7 was established with the LOD of 0.016 ng mL-1.ConclusionsSummary, a multi-carbon dots and aptamer-based signal amplification ratiometric fluorescence probe was developed for the detection of protein tyrosine kinase 7. The developed probe was applied to PTK 7 detection in MCF-7 cells and human serum with satisfying results, thus indicating that this probe has huge potential in clinical practice.

A novel and sensitive ratiometric fluorescent quantum dot-based biosensor for alkaline phosphatase detection in biological samples <i>via</i> the inner-filter effect.

Project description:Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker whose abnormal level in activity is associated with hepatobiliary, skeletal, and renal diseases as well as cancer. Herein, we synthesized ZnSe@ZnS quantum dots (ZnSe@ZnS QDs) and Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots (Mn:ZnS QDs) as fluorophores to establish the ratiometric fluorescent assay for ALP activity detection in biological samples. p-Nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) was used as a substrate for ALP, and the overlaps between absorption spectra of PNPP and excitation spectra of QDs resulted in sharp fluorescence quenching. Under the catalysis of ALP, PNPP was hydrolyzed into p-nitrophenol (PNP), which caused a red shift of absorption band of PNPP and fluorescence recovery of Mn:ZnS QDs (585 nm). However, the overlaps between absorption spectra of PNP and emission spectra of ZnSe@ZnS QDs led a further quenching of ZnSe@ZnS QDs (405 nm). Therefore, the ratiometric fluorescent signals (F 585/F 405) were associated with activity of ALP based on bidirectional responses of QDs to the concentration of PNPP. Under the optimum conditions, the method exhibited a good linear relationship from 4 to 96 U per L (R 2 = 0.9969) with the detection limit of 0.57 U per L. Moreover, the method was successfully applied for detecting the ALP activity in a complex biological matrix (human serum and HepG2 cells) with impressive specificity. In particular, the complicated chemical modifications of QDs and pretreatments of biological samples were not required in the whole detection procedures. Therefore, it not only provided a sensitive, specific and simple approach to clinical ALP activity detection, but it also provided support for early diagnosis of diseases.

Sensitive detection of tamsulosin hydrochloride based on dual-emission ratiometric fluorescence probe consisting of amine-carbon quantum dots and rhodamine B.

Project description:In this work, amine-carbon quantum dots (CQDs)/rhodamine B (RhB) ratiometric fluorescent (RF) sensor was employed for effective and selective determination of tamsulosin hydrochloride (TMS) based on a dual-emission fluorescence system. Although the function of amine-CQDs is to transfer the specific interaction between TMS and sensor into detectable fluorescence (FL) signals, RhB as a reference unit has been employed to omit internal and external effects. The FL signal was quenched by adding the TMS at 442 nm; nevertheless, it did not change at 569 nm. The material characterization and investigation of the sensing mechanism were done. The optimization of pH, the volumetric ratio of CQDs to RhB, and interaction time parameters were carried out by the one-variable-at-a-time (OVAT) method. The quantitative analysis of the concentration of TMS for this RF sensor in a linear range of 0.446-7.083 μg mL-1 (1.091-17.338 μM) was obtained (R2 = 0.9969, n = 3) under optimum conditions. The limit of detection and quantitation values were estimated to be 0.033 μg mL-1 (0.081 μM) and 0.109 μg mL-1 (0.267 μM), respectively. The repeatability of intra-day and inter-day were less than one percent. This inexpensive RF probe was well applied to determine TMS in biological fluids, and acceptable achievements were obtained.

Carbon Nanotube-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Label-Free Protein Detection.

Project description:There is a growing need for biosensors that are capable of efficiently and rapidly quantifying protein biomarkers, both in the biological research and clinical setting. While accurate methods for protein quantification exist, the current assays involve sophisticated techniques, take long to administer and often require highly trained personnel for execution and analysis. Herein, we explore the development of a label-free biosensor for the detection and quantification of a standard protein. The developed biosensors comprise carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a specific antibody and cellulose filtration paper. The change in electrical resistance of the CNT-based biosensor system was used to sense a standard protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a proof-of-concept. The developed biosensors were found to have a limit of detection of 2.89 ng/mL, which is comparable to the performance of the typical ELISA method for BSA quantification. Additionally, the newly developed method takes no longer than 10 min to perform, greatly reducing the time of analysis compared to the traditional ELISA technique. Overall, we present a versatile, affordable, simplified and rapid biosensor device capable of providing great benefit to both biological research and clinical diagnostics.

Carbon nanodot-based electrogenerated chemiluminescence biosensor for miRNA-21 detection.

Project description:A simple carbon nanodot-based electrogenerated chemiluminescence biosensor is described for sensitive and selective detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21), a biomarker of several pathologies including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The photoluminescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) were obtained using a new synthesis method, simply by treating tiger nut milk in a microwave reactor. The synthesis is environmentally friendly, simple, and efficient. The optical properties and morphological characteristics of the CNDs were exhaustively investigated, confirming that they have oxygen and nitrogen functional groups on their surfaces and exhibit excitation-dependent fluorescence emission, as well as photostability. They act as co-reactant agents in the anodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of [Ru(bpy)3]2+, producing different signals for the probe (single-stranded DNA) and the hybridized target (double-stranded DNA). These results paved the way for the development of a sensitive ECL biosensor for the detection of miRNA-21. This was developed by immobilization of a thiolated oligonucleotide, fully complementary to the miRNA-21 sequence, on the disposable gold electrode. The target miRNA-21 was hybridized with the probe on the electrode surface, and the hybridization was detected by the enhancement of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+/DNA ECL signal using CNDs. The biosensor shows a linear response to miRNA-21 concentration up to 100.0 pM with a detection limit of 0.721 fM. The method does not require complex labeling steps, and has a rapid response. It was successfully used to detect miRNA-21 directly in serum samples from heart failure patients without previous RNA extraction neither amplification process.

Small variations in reaction conditions tune carbon dot fluorescence.

Project description:The development of robust and reproducible synthetic strategies for the production of carbon dots (CDs) with improved fluorescence quantum yields and distinct emission profiles is of great relevance given the vast range of applications of CDs. The fundamental understanding at a molecular level of their formation mechanism, chemical structure and how these parameters are correlated to their photoluminescence (PL) properties is thus essential. In this study, we describe the synthesis and structural characterization of a range of CDs with distinct physico-chemical properties. The materials were prepared under three minutes of microwave irradiation using the same common starting materials (D-glucosamine hydrochloride 1 and ethylenediamine 2) but modifying the stoichiometry of the reagents. We show that small variation in reaction conditions leads to changes in the fluorescent behaviour of the CDs, especially in the selective enhancement of overlapped fluorescence bands. Structural analysis of the different CD samples suggested different reaction pathways during the CD formation and surface passivation, with the latter step being key to the observed differences. Moreover, we demonstrate that these materials have distinct reversible response to pH changes, which we can be attribute to different behaviour towards protonation/deprotonation events of distinct emission domains present within each nanomaterial. Our results highlight the importance of understanding the reaction pathways that lead to the formation of this carbon-based nanomaterials and how this can be exploited to develop tailored materials towards specific applications.

Ratiometric Fluorescent Biosensor Based on Forster Resonance Energy Transfer between Carbon Dots and Acridine Orange for miRNA Analysis.

Project description:The expression level of miRNA is highly correlated with the pathological process of malignant tumors. Therefore, the abnormal expression of miRNA in serum is considered as reliable evidence for the existence of tumor cells. Here, a ratiometric fluorescent biosensor based on the Forster resonance energy transfer between fluorophores is proposed for detecting colorectal cancer-specific miRNA (miR-92a-3p). The miRNA in serum was first isolated by carboxyl-modified SiO2 microspheres. Then, the addition of miRNA to the detection system resulted in the distance change between the donor acridine orange (AO) and the acceptor fluorescent carbon dots (CDs), which made the fluorescence signal change. The physicochemical properties, especially the fluorescence characteristics of CDs and AO, which enabled the ratiometric fluorescence detection, were comprehensively studied. The ratiometric fluorescent biosensor could detect miRNA in the concentration range of 1-9 nM and showed a detection limit of 0.14 nM. Moreover, the ratiometric fluorescent biosensor exhibited high selectivity for the target miRNA. The validity of the ratiometric fluorescent biosensor was also verified using the serum sample, demonstrating its potential for enzyme-free miRNA analysis.
