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.

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.

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.

Development of Label-Free Colorimetric Assay for MERS-CoV Using Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Worldwide outbreaks of infectious diseases necessitate the development of rapid and accurate diagnostic methods. Colorimetric assays are a representative tool to simply identify the target molecules in specimens through color changes of an indicator (e.g., nanosized metallic particle, and dye molecules). The detection method is used to confirm the presence of biomarkers visually and measure absorbance of the colored compounds at a specific wavelength. In this study, we propose a colorimetric assay based on an extended form of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) self-assembly shielded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) under positive electrolyte (e.g., 0.1 M MgCl2) for detection of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). This platform is able to verify the existence of viral molecules through a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) shift and color changes of AuNPs in the UV-vis wavelength range. We designed a pair of thiol-modified probes at either the 5' end or 3' end to organize complementary base pairs with upstream of the E protein gene (upE) and open reading frames (ORF) 1a on MERS-CoV. The dsDNA of the target and probes forms a disulfide-induced long self-assembled complex, which protects AuNPs from salt-induced aggregation and transition of optical properties. This colorimetric assay could discriminate down to 1 pmol/?L of 30 bp MERS-CoV and further be adapted for convenient on-site detection of other infectious diseases, especially in resource-limited settings.

Site-specific scFv labelling with invertase via Sortase A mechanism as a platform for antibody-antigen detection using the personal glucose meter.

Project description:Antibody labelling to reporter molecules is gaining popularity due to its many potential applications for diagnostics and therapeutics. However, non-directional bioconjugation methods which are commonly used often results in the loss of target binding capabilities. Therefore, a site-specific enzymatic based bioconjugation such as sortase-mediated transpeptidation allows for a more rapid and efficient method of antibody conjugation for diagnostic applications. Here we describe the utilization of sortase A bioconjugation to conjugate a single chain fragment variable (scFv) to the extracellular invertase (invB) from Zymomonas mobilis with the aim of developing an invertase based immunoassay. In addition, conjugation to enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) was also validated to show the flexibility of the method. The invertase conjugated complex was successfully applied for the detection of antibody-antigen interaction using a personal glucose meter (PGM) for assay readout. The setup was used in both a direct and competitive assay highlighting the robustness of the conjugate for assay development. The method provides an alternative conjugation process to allow easy exchange of antibodies to facilitate rapid development of diagnostic assays for various diseases on the PGM platform.

Label-free electrochemical impedance detection of kinase and phosphatase activities using carbon nanofiber nanoelectrode arrays.

Project description:We demonstrate the feasibility of a label-free electrochemical method to detect the kinetics of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of surface-attached peptides catalyzed by kinase and phosphatase, respectively. The peptides with a sequence specific to c-Src tyrosine kinase and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) were first validated with ELISA-based protein tyrosine kinase assay and then functionalized on vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) nanoelectrode arrays (NEAs). Real-time electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (REIS) measurements showed reversible impedance changes upon the addition of c-Src kinase and PTP1B phosphatase. Only a small and unreliable impedance variation was observed during the peptide phosphorylation, but a large and fast impedance decrease was observed during the peptide dephosphorylation at different PTP1B concentrations. The REIS data of dephosphorylation displayed a well-defined exponential decay following the Michaelis-Menten heterogeneous enzymatic model with a specific constant, k(cat)/K(m), of (2.1±0.1)×10(7) M(-1)s(-1). Consistent values of the specific constant was measured at PTP1B concentration varying from 1.2 to 2.4 nM with the corresponding electrochemical signal decay constant varying from 38.5 to 19.1s. This electrochemical method can be potentially used as a label-free method for profiling enzyme activities in fast reactions.
