Amperometric Microsensors Monitoring Glutamate-Evoked In Situ Responses of Nitric Oxide and Carbon Monoxide from Live Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: In the brain, nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) are important signaling gases which have multifaceted roles, such as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and vasodilators. Even though it is difficult to measure NO and CO in a living system due to their high diffusibility and extremely low release levels, electrochemical sensors are promising tools to measure in vivo and in vitro NO and CO gases. In this paper, using amperometric dual and septuple NO/CO microsensors, real-time NO and CO changes evoked by glutamate were monitored simultaneously for human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells. In cultures, the cells were differentiated and matured into functional neurons by retinoic acid and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. When glutamate was administrated to the cells, both NO and CO increases and subsequent decreases returning to the basal levels were observed with a dual NO/CO microsensor. In order to facilitate sensor's measurement, a flower-type septuple NO/CO microsensor was newly developed and confirmed in terms of the sensitivity and selectivity. The septuple microsensor was employed for the measurements of NO and CO changes as a function of distances from the position of glutamate injection. Our sensor measurements revealed that only functionally differentiated cells responded to glutamate and released NO and CO.

Amperometric measurements of cocaine cue and novel context-evoked glutamate and nitric oxide release in the nucleus accumbens core.

Project description:Cue-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking after self-administration (SA) and extinction relies on glutamate release in the nucleus accumbens core (NAcore), which activates neuronal nitric oxide synthase interneurons. Nitric oxide (NO) is required for structural plasticity in NAcore medium spiny neurons, as well as cued cocaine seeking. However, NO release in the NAcore during reinstatement has yet to be directly measured. Furthermore, the temporal relationship between glutamate release and the induction of an NO response also remains unknown. Using wireless amperometric recordings in awake behaving rats, we quantified the magnitude and temporal dynamics of novel context- and cue-induced reinstatement-evoked glutamate and NO release in the NAcore. We found that re-exposure to cocaine-conditioned stimuli following SA and extinction increased extracellular glutamate, leading to release of NO in the NAcore. In contrast, exposing drug-naïve rats to a novel context led to a lower magnitude rise in glutamate in the NAcore relative to cue-induced reinstatement. Interestingly, novel context exposure evoked a higher magnitude NO response relative to cue-induced reinstatement. Despite differences in magnitude, novel context evoked-NO release in the NAcore was also temporally delayed when compared to glutamate. These results demonstrate a dissociation between the magnitude of cocaine cue- and novel context-evoked glutamate and NO release in the NAcore, yet similarity in the temporal dynamics of their release. Together, these data contribute to a greater understanding of the relationship between glutamate and NO, two neurotransmitters implicated in encoding the valence of distinct contextual stimuli.

Amperometric nitric oxide sensors with enhanced selectivity over carbon monoxide via platinum oxide formation under alkaline conditions.

Project description:An improved planar amperometric nitric oxide (NO) sensor with enhanced selectivity over carbon monoxide (CO), which represents a volatile interfering species for NO sensors that has been largely overlooked until recently, is described. Formation of an oxide film on the inner platinum working electrode via anodic polarization using an inner alkaline electrolyte solution provides the basis for improved selectivity. Cyclic voltammetry reveals that formation of an oxidized Pt film inhibits adsorption of CO to the electrode surface, which is a necessary initial step in the electrocatalytic oxidation of CO on Pt. Previous NO gas sensors that employ internal electrolyte solutions have been assembled using acidic internal solutions that inhibit the formation of a dense platinum oxide film on the working electrode surface. It is demonstrated herein that increasing the internal electrolyte pH promotes oxidized platinum film formation, resulting in improved selectivity over CO. Selectivity coefficients (log KNO,j) for sensors assembled with internal solutions at various pH values range from -0.08 at pH 2.0 to -2.06 at pH 11.7, with average NO sensitivities of 1.24 nA/?M and a limit of detection (LOD) of <1 nM.

Fluorinated xerogel-derived microelectrodes for amperometric nitric oxide sensing.

Project description:An amperometric fluorinated xerogel-derived nitric oxide (NO) microelectrode is described. A range of fluorine-modified xerogel polymers were synthesized via the cohydrolysis and condensation of alkylalkoxy- and fluoroalkoxysilanes. Such polymers were evaluated as NO sensor membranes to identify the optimum composition for maximizing NO permeability while providing sufficient selectivity for NO in the presence of common interfering species. By taking advantage of both the versatility of sol-gel chemistry and the "poly(tetrafluoroethylene)-like" high NO permselective properties of the xerogels, the performance of the fluorinated xerogel-derived sensors was excellent, surpassing all miniaturized NO sensors reported to date. In contrast to previous electrochemical NO sensor designs, xerogel-based NO microsensors were fabricated using a simple, reliable dip-coating procedure. An optimal permselective membrane was achieved by synthesizing xerogels of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) and 20% (heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrodecyl)trimethoxysilane (17FTMS, balance MTMOS) under acid-catalyzed conditions. The resulting NO microelectrode had a conical tip of approximately 20 microm in diameter and approximately 55 microm in length and exhibited sensitivities of 7.91 pA x nM (-1) from 0.2 to 3.0 nM (R (2) = 0.9947) and 7.60 nA x microM (-1) from 0.5 to 4.0 microM ( R (2) = 0.9999), detection limit of 83 pM (S/ N = 3), response time ( t 95%) of <3 s, and selectivity (log K NO, j (amp)) of -5.74, <-6, <-6, <-6, <-6, -5.84, and -1.33 for j = nitrite, ascorbic acid, uric acid, acetaminophen, dopamine, ammonia/ammonium, and carbon monoxide. In addition, the sensor proved functional up to 20 d, maintaining >or=90% of the sensor's initial sensitivity without serious deterioration in selectivity.

Iridium-based probe for luminescent nitric oxide monitoring in live cells.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is an intra- and extracellular messenger with important functions during human physiology process. A long-lived luminescent iridium(III) complex probe 1 has been designed and synthesized for the monitoring of NO controllably released from sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Probe 1 displayed a 15-fold switch-on luminescence in the presence of SNP at 580?nm. The probe exhibited a linear response towards SNP between 5 to 25??M with detection limit at 0.18??M. Importantly, the luminescent switch-on detection of NO in HeLa cells was demonstrated. Overall, complex 1 has the potential to be applied for NO tracing in complicated cellular environment.

Concentration dynamics of nitric oxide in rat hippocampal subregions evoked by stimulation of the NMDA glutamate receptor.

Project description:Nitric oxide (*NO) production in response to stimulation of the NMDA glutamate receptor is implicated not only in the synaptic plasticity in hippocampus but may also participate in excitotoxic cell death. Using *NO-selective microssensors inserted into the diffusional field of *NO in acute hippocampal slices, we describe the *NO concentration dynamics evoked by NMDA receptor activation and report profound differences along the trisynaptic loop of the hippocampus. We measured the oxygen gradient across the slice thickness and conclude that *NO measurements were performed at cell layers experiencing physiological oxygen tensions. Recordings performed at increasing distances from the point of NMDA receptor stimulation resulted in a progressive decrease of *NO signals, reaching undetectable levels for distances >400 microm, supporting the notion of a wide diffusional spread of endogenously generated *NO in the hippocampus. Neither a picoinjection nor a continuous perfusion of NMDA resulted in high steady-state *NO levels; rather all signals were transient, suggesting that cells are able to efficiently respond to high *NO concentrations (typically 200-400 nM) bringing it to very low nM levels; the claimed high micromolar *NO range achieved by excessive stimulation of NMDA receptor may have to be reevaluated. The distinct responses to NMDA receptor stimulation along the trysynaptic loop suggest a differential *NO activity and/or regulation among the hippocampal subregions. These findings may be relevant for the understanding of the role of *NO in physiologic mechanisms in the hippocampus and the differential sensitivity of the hippocampal subregions to NMDA receptor-dependent neurodegeneration.

Highly sensitive amperometric Pt-Nafion gas phase nitric oxide sensor: Performance and application in characterizing nitric oxide-releasing biomaterials.

Project description:A highly sensitive amperometric gas-phase nitric oxide (NO) sensor based on a Pt working electrode chemically deposited on a Nafion film is described. The Pt electrode is chemically deposited on a Nafion 117 membrane by impregnating the film with Pt(NH3)4(2+) ions, which are then exposed to NaBH4 to precipitate conductive Pt metal. The sensor was characterized with a mass-flow controlled 1 ppm NO standard gas and has an electrochemical surface area of 34 ± 9 cm(2), low limits of detection (4.3 ± 1.1 ppb) and a fast response time (<5s) toward changes in gas phase NO levels. Good correlation was found for measurements with the new amperometric Pt-Nafion sensor vs. chemiluminescence results for detecting the rates of NO release from Carbosil2080A polymer films doped with S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (R = 0.999, m = 0.999, n = 6) and for electrochemical reduction of nitrite to NO (R = 0.999, m = 0.938, n = 3) mediated by a copper(II)-tri(2-pyridylmethyl)amine complex.

Patterned electrode-based amperometric gas sensor for direct nitric oxide detection within microfluidic devices.

Project description:This article describes a thin amperometric nitric oxide (NO) sensor that can be microchannel embedded to enable direct real-time detection of NO produced by cells cultured within the microdevice. A key for achieving the thin ( approximately 1 mm) planar sensor configuration required for sensor-channel integration is the use of gold/indium-tin oxide patterned electrode directly on a porous polymer membrane (pAu/ITO) as the base working electrode. The electrochemically deposited Au-hexacyanoferrate layer on pAu/ITO is used to catalyze NO oxidation to nitrite at lower applied potentials (0.65-0.75 V vs Ag/AgCl) and stabilize current output. Furthermore, use of a gas-permeable membrane to separate internal sensor compartments from the sample phase imparts excellent NO selectivity over common interfering agents (e.g., nitrite, ascorbate, ammonia, etc.) present in culture media and biological fluids. The optimized sensor design reversibly detects NO down to the approximately 1 nM level in stirred buffer and <10 nM in flowing buffer when integrated within a polymeric microfluidic device. We demonstrate utility of the channel-embedded sensor by monitoring NO generation from macrophages cultured within non-gas-permeable microchannels, as they are stimulated with endotoxin.

S-Nitrosothiol analysis via photolysis and amperometric nitric oxide detection in a microfluidic device.

Project description:A 530 nm light emitting diode was coupled to a microfluidic sensor to facilitate photolysis of nitrosothiols (i.e., S-nitrosoglutathione, S-nitrosocysteine, and S-nitrosoalbumin) and amperometric detection of the resulting nitric oxide (NO). This configuration allowed for maximum sensitivity and versatility, while limiting potential interference from nitrate decomposition caused by ultraviolet light. Compared to similar measurements of total S-nitrosothiol content in bulk solution, use of the microfluidic platform permitted significantly enhanced analytical performance in both phosphate-buffered saline and plasma (6-20× improvement in sensitivity depending on nitrosothiol type). Additionally, the ability to reduce sample volumes from milliliters to microliters provides increased clinical utility. To demonstrate its potential for biological analysis, this device was used to measure basal nitrosothiol levels from the vasculature of a healthy porcine model.

Anticancer potential of nitric oxide (NO) in neuroblastoma treatment.

Project description:The most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, paediatric neuroblastoma, is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages and identified as high risk. High risk neuroblastoma is aggressive and unpredictable, resulting in poor prognosis and only ∼40% five-year survival rates. Herein, nitric oxide (NO) delivered via the S-nitrosothiol, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), is explored as an anticancer therapeutic in various neuroblastoma lines. After 24 h of treatment with GSNO, cell viability assays, as assessed by resazurin and MTT ((3-4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphyltetrazolium bromide), consistently identified a moderate, ∼13-29%, decrease in metabolic activity, colony formation assays revealed notably significant reduction of clonogenic activity, and cytotoxicity assays revealed a visibly significant reduction of total number of cells and live cells as well as an increase in number of dead cells in treated cells versus untreated cells. Thrillingly, RNA-sequence analysis provided highly valuable information regarding the differentially expressed genes in treated samples versus control samples as well as insight into the mechanism of action of NO as an anticancer therapeutic. Favorably, the collective results from these analyses exhibited tumoricidal, non-tumour promoting, and discriminatory characteristics, illuminating the feasibility and significance of NO as a cytotoxic adjuvant in neuroblastoma treatment.

Improved in vivo performance of amperometric oxygen (PO2) sensing catheters via electrochemical nitric oxide generation/release.

Project description:A novel electrochemically controlled release method for nitric oxide (NO) (based on electrochemical reduction of nitrite ions) is combined with an amperometric oxygen sensor within a dual lumen catheter configuration for the continuous in vivo sensing of the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) in blood. The on-demand electrochemical NO generation/release method is shown to be fully compatible with amperometric PO2 sensing. The performance of the sensors is evaluated in rabbit veins and pig arteries for 7 and 21 h, respectively. Overall, the NO releasing sensors measure both venous and arterial PO2 values more accurately with an average deviation of -2 ± 11% and good correlation (R(2) = 0.97) with in vitro blood measurements, whereas the corresponding control sensors without NO release show an average deviation of -31 ± 28% and poor correlation (R(2) = 0.43) at time points >4 h after implantation in veins and >6 h in arteries. The NO releasing sensors induce less thrombus formation on the catheter surface in both veins and arteries (p < 0.05). This electrochemical NO generation/release method could offer a new and attractive means to improve the biocompatibility and performance of implantable chemical sensors.
