Tuning SLOCK toward Chronic Disease Diagnostics and Management: Label-free Sweat Interleukin-31 Detection.

ABSTRACT: SLOCK (sensor for circadian clock) is an electrochemical sweat-based biosensing platform designed for the diagnosis and management of circadian abnormalities. Previously, the SLOCK platform was designed to detect adrenal steroids, cortisol, and DHEA for tracking the circadian rhythm. This work aims at tuning this SLOCK platform toward the detection of the cytokine, interleukin-31, for building a noninvasive, chronic disease diagnostics and management platform. This research provides a detailed characterization of the sensing surface and immunochemistry. The results show that SLOCK has good sensitivity to IL-31 concentrations in synthetic and human sweat. The limit of detection is 50 and 100 pg/mL for synthetic and human sweat, respectively. The dynamic range of the system is 50-1000 pg/mL, which encompasses the physiological ranges of 150-620 pg/mL. This is the first demonstration of sweat-based, label-free, electrochemical detection of IL-31. In addition to this, the data show good correlation (R ² > 0.95) for the signal sensitivity to biomarker concentration. Finally, cross-reactivity studies highlight the specificity of SLOCK even in the presence of highly cross-reactive species. Thus, this novel SLOCK biosensor can be successfully used to track IL-31 in a sensitive and noninvasive manner and could be used to identify chronic pathophysiologies present in the body.

Laser Scribing Fabrication of Graphitic Carbon Biosensors for Label-Free Detection of Interleukin-6.

Project description:Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important immuno-modulating cytokine playing a pivotal role in inflammatory processes in disease induction and progression. As IL-6 serves as an important indicator of disease state, it is of paramount importance to develop low cost, fast and sensitive improved methods of detection. Here we present an electrochemical immunosensor platform based on the use of highly porous graphitic carbon electrodes fabricated by direct laser writing of commercial polyimide tapes and chemically modified with capture IL-6 antibodies. The unique porous and 3D morphology, as well as the high density of edge planes of the graphitic carbon electrodes, resulted in a fast heterogeneous electron transfer (HET) rate, k0 = 0.13 cm/s. The resulting immunosensor showed a linear response to log of concentration in the working range of 10 to 500 pg/mL, and low limit of detection (LOD) of 5.1 pg/mL IL-6 in phosphate buffer saline. The total test time was approximately 90 min, faster than the time required for ELISA testing. Moreover, the assay did not require additional sample pre-concentration or labelling steps. The immunosensor shelf-life was long, with stable results obtained after 6 weeks of storage at 4 °C, and the selectivity was high, as no response was obtained in the presence of another inflammatory cytokine, Interlukin-4. These results show that laser-fabricated graphitic carbon electrodes can be used as selective and sensitive electrochemical immunosensors and offer a viable option for rapid and low-cost biomarker detection for point-of-care analysis.

Toward Development of a Label-Free Detection Technique for Microfluidic Fluorometric Peptide-Based Biosensor Systems.

Project description:The problems of chronic or noncommunicable diseases (NCD) that now kill around 40 million people each year require multiparametric combinatorial diagnostics for the selection of effective treatment tactics. This could be implemented using the biosensor principle based on peptide aptamers for spatial recognition of corresponding protein markers of diseases in biological fluids. In this paper, a low-cost label-free principle of biomarker detection using a biosensor system based on fluorometric registration of the target proteins bound to peptide aptamers was investigated. The main detection principle considered includes the re-emission of the natural fluorescence of selectively bound protein markers into a longer-wavelength radiation easily detectable by common charge-coupled devices (CCD) using a specific luminophore. Implementation of this type of detection system demands the reduction of all types of stray light and background fluorescence of construction materials and aptamers. The latter was achieved by careful selection of materials and design of peptide aptamers with substituted aromatic amino acid residues and considering troponin T, troponin I, and bovine serum albumin as an example. The peptide aptamers for troponin T were designed in silico using the «Protein 3D» (SPB ETU, St. Petersburg, Russia) software. The luminophore was selected from the line of ZnS-based solid-state compounds. The test microfluidic system was arranged as a flow through a massive of four working chambers for immobilization of peptide aptamers, coupled with the optical detection system, based on thick film technology. The planar optical setup of the biosensor registration system was arranged as an excitation-emission cascade including 280 nm ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED), polypropylene (PP) UV transparent film, proteins layer, glass filter, luminophore layer, and CCD sensor. A laboratory sample has been created.

Rapid and Easy Extracellular Vesicle Detection on a Surface-Functionalized Power-Free Microchip toward Point-of-Care Diagnostics.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising novel cancer biomarkers. However, rapid and easy analysis of EVs is challenging because conventional detection methods require large sample volumes and long detection times. Microchip-based analytical systems have particularly attracted attention for development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. Previously, various biomarker detection methods on a portable power-free poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchip using laminar flow-assisted dendritic amplification have been developed. Recently, for easy functionalization, we proposed a microchannel inner surface-functionalized power-free PDMS microchip (SF-PF microchip) utilizing electron beam-induced graft polymerization. In this study, we apply the technique and prepare a novel SF-PF microchip. On the microchip, EVs were successfully detected. The required sample volume was 1.0 μL, and the total analysis time was 20 min. The microchip can contribute to EV-based POC cancer diagnosis.

Label-Free Detection of Small Organic Molecules by Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Functionalized Thermocouples: Toward In Vivo Applications.

Project description:Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), synthetic polymeric receptors, have been combined successfully with thermal transducers for the detection of small molecules in recent years. However, up until now they have been combined with planar electrodes which limits their use for in vivo applications. In this work, a new biosensor platform is developed by roll-coating MIP particles onto thermocouples, functionalized with polylactic acid (PLLA). As a first proof-of-principle, MIPs for the neurotransmitter dopamine were incorporated into PLLA-coated thermocouples. The response of the synthetic receptor layer to an increasing concentration of dopamine in buffer was analyzed using a homemade heat-transfer setup. Binding of the template to the MIP layer blocks the heat transport through the thermocouple, leading to less heat loss to the environment and an overall higher temperature in the measuring chamber. The measured temperature increase is correlated to the neurotransmitter concentration, which enables measurement of dopamine levels in the micromolar regime. To demonstrate the general applicability of the proposed biosensor platform, thermocouples were functionalized with similar MIPs for cortisol and serotonin, indicating a similar response and limit-of-detection. As the platform does not require planar electrodes, it can easily be integrated in, e.g., a catheter. In this way, it is an excellent fit for the current niche in the market of therapeutics and diagnostics. Moreover, the use of a biocompatible and disposable PLLA-layer further illustrates its potential for in vivo diagnostics.

Expression profile of sweat gland label retaining cells (LRCs)

Project description:We have used the slow cycling property, found in hair follicle stem cells, to look for LRCs in sweat glands as putative stem cells. Gene expression profiling allowed us to determine the common and unique genes expressed in SG LRCs and non-LRCs. This allowed us to probe for the signaling pathways active in this skin appendage as well as determine potential molecular markers of SG LRCs. Sweat gland label retaining cells (LRCs) and surrounding basal layer cells were isolated from K5TetOffTreH2BGFP mice after a 4 week chase with doxycycline and compared to the basal layer of the sole's epidermis in 2 independent experiments.

Label-free biomarker detection from whole blood.

Project description:Label-free nanosensors can detect disease markers to provide point-of-care diagnosis that is low-cost, rapid, specific and sensitive. However, detecting these biomarkers in physiological fluid samples is difficult because of problems such as biofouling and non-specific binding, and the resulting need to use purified buffers greatly reduces the clinical relevance of these sensors. Here, we overcome this limitation by using distinct components within the sensor to perform purification and detection. A microfluidic purification chip simultaneously captures multiple biomarkers from blood samples and releases them, after washing, into purified buffer for sensing by a silicon nanoribbon detector. This two-stage approach isolates the detector from the complex environment of whole blood, and reduces its minimum required sensitivity by effectively pre-concentrating the biomarkers. We show specific and quantitative detection of two model cancer antigens from a 10 microl sample of whole blood in less than 20 min. This study marks the first use of label-free nanosensors with physiological solutions, positioning this technology for rapid translation to clinical settings.

Synergistic SERS Enhancement in GaN-Ag Hybrid System toward Label-Free and Multiplexed Detection of Antibiotics in Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:Noble metal-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has enabled the simple and efficient detection of trace-amount molecules via significant electromagnetic enhancements at hot spots. However, the small Raman cross-section of various analytes forces the use of a Raman reporter for specific surface functionalization, which is time-consuming and limited to low-molecular-weight analytes. To tackle these issues, a hybrid SERS substrate utilizing Ag as plasmonic structures and GaN as charge transfer enhancement centers is presented. By the conformal printing of Ag nanowires onto GaN nanopillars, a highly sensitive SERS substrate with excellent uniformity can be fabricated. As a result, remarkable SERS performance with a substrate enhancement factor of 1.4 × 1011 at 10 fM for rhodamine 6G molecules with minimal spot variations can be realized. Furthermore, quantification and multiplexing capabilities without surface treatments are demonstrated by detecting harmful antibiotics in aqueous solutions. This work paves the way for the development of a highly sensitive SERS substrate by constructing complex metal-semiconductor architectures.

Flexible nanoporous tunable electrical double layer biosensors for sweat diagnostics.

Project description:An ultra-sensitive and highly specific electrical double layer (EDL) modulated biosensor, using nanoporous flexible substrates for wearable diagnostics is demonstrated with the detection of the stress biomarker cortisol in synthetic and human sweat. Zinc oxide thin film was used as active region in contact with the liquid i.e. synthetic and human sweat containing the biomolecules. Cortisol detection in sweat was accomplished by measuring and quantifying impedance changes due to modulation of the double layer capacitance within the electrical double layer through the application of a low orthogonally directed alternating current (AC) electric field. The EDL formed at the liquid-semiconductor interface was amplified in the presence of the nanoporous flexible substrate allowing for measuring the changes in the alternating current impedance signal due to the antibody-hormone interactions at diagnostically relevant concentrations. High sensitivity of detection of 1?pg/mL or 2.75 pmol cortisol in synthetic sweat and 1?ng/mL in human sweat is demonstrated with these novel biosensors. Specificity in synthetic sweat was demonstrated using a cytokine IL-1?. Cortisol detection in human sweat was demonstrated over a concentration range from 10-200?ng/mL.
