Label-free and washing-free alkaline phosphatase assay using a personal glucose meter.

ABSTRACT: We herein describe a personal glucose meter (PGM)-based method for a label-free and washing-free determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, which relies on the cascade enzymatic reactions promoted by hexokinase and pyruvate kinase to couple ALP activity with the amount of glucose. In principle, the presence of target ALP scavenges on adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), a phosphate source for hexokinase-catalyzed reactions, and thus suppresses the ensuing cascade enzymatic reactions. As a result, the initial high amount of glucose is maintained and the amount of glucose, which is proportional to ALP activity, is simply measured by a hand-held PGM. Based on this novel strategy, we successfully determined the ALP activity down to 8.9 U/L with the high selectivity. In addition, the diagnostic capability of this method was demonstrated by reliably assaying the ALP activity in non-diluted human blood without any pretreatment steps.

Glucose oxidase-like activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles: use for personal glucose meter-based label-free target DNA detection.

Project description:Recently, personal glucose meter (PGM) has been utilized for the detection of non-glucose targets for point-of-care (POC) testing. Aimed at this goal, we herein developed a new PGM-based label-free read-out method for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on our novel finding that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) exhibit glucose oxidase-like activity comparable to the natural glucose oxidase enzyme. Methods: In principle, DNA amplicons produced by PCR in the presence of target DNA electrostatically bind to CeO2 NPs, leading to their aggregation and reducing the efficiency for CeO2 NP-catalyzed glucose oxidation reaction. Thus, glucose is hardly oxidized to gluconic acid, resulting in the maintenance of initial high glucose level. On the contrary, in the absence of target DNA or presence of non-target DNA, DNA amplicons are not produced and glucose is effectively oxidized by the glucose oxidase-like activity of CeO2 NPs, leading to the significant reduction of glucose level. Finally, the resulting glucose level is simply measured by using PGM. Results: With this strategy, DNA amplicons were quantitatively examined within 5 min, realizing ultrafast analysis of PCR results without any cumbersome and labor-intensive procedures. In addition, the target genomic DNA derived from Escherichia coli (E. coli) was sensitively determined down to 10 copies with high selectivity. Conclusion: Importantly, the use of PGM as a detection component enables its direct application in POC settings. Based on the meritorious features of PGM such as rapidity, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness, we expect that the devised system could serve as a core platform for the on-site read-out of PCR amplification.

A Simple and Universal Nucleic Acid Assay Platform Based on Personal Glucose Meter Using SARS-CoV-2 N Gene as the Model.

Project description:A simple, selective, and quantitative platform for point-of-care diagnostic of COVID-19 is urgently needed as a complement in areas where resources are currently relatively scarce. To meet the needs of early diagnosis and intervention, a proof-of-concept demonstration of a universal personal glucose meter-based nucleic acid assay platform (PGM-NAAP) is presented, which converts to SARS-CoV-2 detection from glucose detection. By using magnetic bead separation together with the hand-held PGM for quantitative readout, PGM-NAAP achieves the 98 pM limit of detection for a sequence related to SARS-CoV-2. The ability to discriminate target nucleic acid from genomic DNA, the satisfactory spike recoveries of saliva and serum samples, as well as the good stability all together suggest the potential of the PGM-NAAP for the screening and diagnosis of suspected patients during the outbreaks of COVID-19 in resource-limited settings without sophisticated instruments. On the basis of these findings, PGM-NAAP can be expected to provide an accurate and convenient path for diagnosis of disease-associated nucleic acid.

Label-Free Assay of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Activity in Single Cells.

Project description:Populations of cells exhibit variations in biochemical activity, resulting from many factors including random stochastic variability in protein production, metabolic and cell-cycle states, regulatory mechanisms, and external signaling. The development of methods for the analysis of single cells has allowed for the measurement and understanding of this inherent heterogeneity, yet methods for measuring protein activities on the single-cell scale lag behind their genetic analysis counterparts and typically report on expression rather than activity. This paper presents an approach to measure protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activity in individual cells using self-assembled monolayers for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Using flow cytometry, individual cells are first sorted into a well plate containing lysis buffer and a phosphopeptide substrate. After lysis and incubation-during which the PTP enzymes act on the peptide substrate-the reaction substrate and product are immobilized onto arrays of self-assembled monolayers, which are then analyzed using mass spectrometry. PTP activities from thousands of individual cells were measured and their distributions analyzed. This work demonstrates a general method for measuring enzyme activities in lysates derived from individual cells and will contribute to the understanding of cellular heterogeneity in a variety of contexts.

CRISPR/Cas13a-assisted AMP generation for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection using a personal glucose meter.

Project description:Herein, we described a washing- and label-free clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/LwaCas13a-based RNA detection method utilizing a personal glucose meter (PGM), which relies on the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas13a and kinase reactions. In principle, the presence of target RNA activates the trans-cleavage of CRISPR/Cas13a, generating 2',3'-cyclic phosphate adenosine, which is converted to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) by the T4 polynucleotide kinase. Subsequently, the AMP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) through phosphorylation by a myokinase; ADP is then used as a substrate in the cascade enzymatic reaction promoted by pyruvate kinase and hexokinase. The overall reaction leads to the continuous conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, resulting in a reduction of glucose concentration proportional to the level of target RNA, which can therefore be indirectly measured with a PGM. By employing this novel strategy, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 RNA can be successfully detected with excellent specificity. In addition, we were able to overcome non-specific responses of CRISPR/Cas13a and distinguish single nucleotide polymorphisms by introducing a single-base mismatch in the complementary RNA. Our study provides an alternative coronavirus disease 2019 detection technology that is affordable, accessible, and portable with a fast turnaround time and excellent selectivity.

A Catechol-Meter Based on Conventional Personal Glucose Meter for Portable Detection of Tyrosinase and Sodium Benzoate.

Project description:In this study, the personal glucose meter (PGM) was first used as a fast and user-friendly meter for analyzing catechol (CA) based on the reduction of the mediator K3[Fe(CN)6] to K4[Fe(CN)6] in the glucose test strip. Then, an easy, low-cost, and convenient PGM-based method for detecting tyrosinase (TYR) activity and sodium benzoate (SBA) was developed on the basis of the TYR-catalyzed reaction. In this method, CA is oxidized to form o-benzoquinone by TYR, thereby reducing the residual amount of CA and the PGM readout. On the other hand, SBA can inhibit the oxidation of CA catalyzed by TYR and increase the residual amount of CA after the enzymatic reaction. Therefore, the activity of TYR is proportional to the difference in the PGM readout of CA, and the concentration of SBA is positively correlated with the residual amount of CA. After the relevant experimental conditions were systematically optimized, the proposed PGM-based method for the detection of TYR and SBA was successfully validated. The liner ranges are 1.0-103.3 U/mL and 6.25-1000 ppm, and the quantification limits are 1.0 U/mL and 6.25 ppm for TYR and SBA, respectively. Moreover, the spiked recovery tests in normal human serum and carbonate beverages (i.e., Cola, Sprite, and Fanta) were performed, and the recoveries (91.6-106.8%) further confirm the applicability of the PGM-based method in real sample analysis.

Rapid Detection and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Pathogens Using AgNPs-Invertase Complexes and the Personal Glucose Meter.

Project description:Rapid detection of pathogens and assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility is of great importance for public health, especially in resource-limiting regions. Herein, we developed a rapid, portable, and universal detection method for bacteria using AgNPs-invertase complexes and the personal glucose meter (PGM). In the presence of bacteria, the invertase could be released from AgNPs-invertase complexes where its enzyme activity of invertase was inhibited. Then, the enzyme activity of invertase was restored and could convert sucrose into glucose measured by a commercially PGM. There was a good linear relationship between PGM signal and concentration of E. coli or S. aureus as the bacteria model with high sensitivity. And our proposed biosensor was proved to be a rapid and reliable method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing within 4 h with consistent results of Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) testing, providing a portable and convenient method to treat infected patients with correct antibiotics and reduce the production of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially for resource-limiting settings.

Immunoglobulin E Detection Method Based on Cascade Enzymatic Reaction Utilizing Portable Personal Glucose Meter.

Project description:We herein describe a cascade enzymatic reaction (CER)-based IgE detection method utilizing a personal glucose meter (PGM), which relies on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity that regulates the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The amount of sandwich assay complex is determined according to the presence or absence of the target IgE. Additionally, the ALP in the sandwich assay catalyzes the dephosphorylation of ATP, a substrate of CER, which results in the changes in glucose level. By employing this principle, IgE was reliably detected at a concentration as low as ca. 29.6 ng/mL with high specificity toward various proteins. Importantly, the limit of detection (LOD) of this portable PGM-based approach was comparable to currently commercialized ELISA kit without expensive and bulky analysis equipment as well as complexed washing step. Finally, the diagnostic capability of this method was also successfully verified by reliably detecting IgE present in a real human serum sample with an excellent recovery ratio within 100 ± 6%.

Personal Glucose Meter for α-Glucosidase Inhibitor Screening Based on the Hydrolysis of Maltose.

Project description:As a key enzyme regulating postprandial blood glucose, α-Glucosidase is considered to be an effective target for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. In this study, a simple, rapid, and effective method for enzyme inhibitors screening assay was established based on α-glucosidase catalyzes reactions in a personal glucose meter (PGM). α-glucosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to produce glucose, which triggers the reduction of ferricyanide (K3[Fe(CN)6]) to ferrocyanide (K4[Fe(CN)6]) and generates the PGM detectable signals. When the α-glucosidase inhibitor (such as acarbose) is added, the yield of glucose and the readout of PGM decreased accordingly. This method can achieve the direct determination of α-glucosidase activity by the PGM as simple as the blood glucose tests. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the developed method was applied to evaluate the inhibitory activity of thirty-four small-molecule compounds and eighteen medicinal plants extracts on α-glucosidase. The results exhibit that lithospermic acid (52.5 ± 3.0%) and protocatechualdehyde (36.8 ± 2.8%) have higher inhibitory activity than that of positive control acarbose (31.5 ± 2.5%) at the same final concentration of 5.0 mM. Besides, the lemon extract has a good inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase with a percentage of inhibition of 43.3 ± 3.5%. Finally, the binding sites and modes of four active small-molecule compounds to α-glucosidase were investigated by molecular docking analysis. These results indicate that the PGM method is feasible to screening inhibitors from natural products with simple and rapid operations.

New Uses for the Personal Glucose Meter: Detection of Nucleic Acid Biomarkers for Prostate Cancer Screening.

Project description:A personal glucose meter (PGM)-based method for quantitative detection of a urinary nucleic acid biomarker in prostate cancer screening, the so-called PCA3, is reported herein. A sandwich-type genoassay is conducted on magnetic beads to collect the target from the sample by specific hybridization, making the assay appropriate for PCA3 detection in biological fluids. The success of the method hinges on the use of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) to link the amount of nucleic acid biomarker to the generation of glucose. In particular, specifically attached ALP molecules hydrolyze D-glucose-1-phosphate into D-glucose, thus enabling the amplification of the recorded signal on the personal glucose meter. The developed genoassay exhibits good sensitivity (3.3 ± 0.2 mg glucose dL-1 pM-1) for PCA3, with a dynamic range of 5 to 100 pM and a quantification limit of 5 pM. Likewise, it facilitates point-of-care testing of nucleic acid biomarkers by using off-the-shelf PGM instead of complex instrumentation involved in traditional laboratory-based tests.
