单碱基多样性的非测序检测（英文）

单碱基多样性(SNP)是最常见的基因突变形式之一,经研究证明与很多疾病相关。虽然测序是检测SNP的重要方法,但其需要检测仪器,且检测时间较长,限制了其临床应用。本文综述了SNP的常见非测序分析方法。首先讨论了检测的热力学问题,并归纳了三类主要的检测策略:基于杂交的检测、基于链取代反应的检测和酶介导的检测。在三维均相检测方法中,主要介绍了不同信号开关策略,如荧光开关、酶识别开关和场效应开关。三维原位检测不仅能检测SNP,还能提供其细胞定位信息,在细胞异质性较高时更具优势。二维界面检测的识别反应速率和杂交效率受到一定影响,但界面检测能进一步减小干扰,亦便于实现高通量检测;以DNA正四面体探针界面为代表的改良界面具有优良的灵敏度和特异性。同时,本文亦讨论了现有方法的局限性,并对SNP非测序检测研究进行展望。     

双链特异性核酸酶的生物学和医学应用

双链特异性核酸酶DSN是一种能高选择性地识别并酶切完全匹配的DNA双链或者DNA-RNA杂交双链中的DNA,而对单链DNA和RNA几乎没有作用的核酸酶.DSN酶的上述特点使其在生物和医学等领域广泛应用,主要包括全长cDNA文库的均一化、单核苷酸多态性(SNP)检测和高通量测序等.近年来,DSN酶在microRNAs(miRNAs)的检测领域得以长足发展和应用.miRNAs是一组内源性、非编码短序列RNAs,在生理和病理过程中具有重要作用,但由于其序列短、丰度低等特点, miRNAs的检测一直是临床难题.新近研究主要基于DSN酶信号放大的特点,相继建立了一系列生物传感技术,通过采用不同检测原理如比色法、荧光法、电化学法等实现痕量miRNAs检测.本文就DSN酶在miRNAs检测、SNP检测、全长cDNA文库均一化及高通量测序等方面的生物学应用进行了综述.     

基于三维DNA纳米结构的电化学SNP检测

单碱基多态性（single nucleotide polymorphisms,SNP）一直以来被认为可以作为疾病诊断的有效标记,所以这方面的研究一直备受关注.现有的检测方法多在均相体系中进行.相比较而言,在界面上如果能方便快捷地区分SNP,此方法在医疗检测方面的应用性就可以大为加强.我们成功地利用DNA自组装技术在金电极表面组装了四面体结构的DNA纳米结构探针（tetrahedron structure probes,TSPs）,有效地控制界面上DNA组装的密度,使得基于四面体结构的DNA探针的杂交行为更接近于溶液相体系,进而实现了在原有界面上受限于异相反应而无法较好完成的SNP分型检测.在TSP和作为信号分子的reporter DNA之间只有6个互补配对碱基的条件下,就可以得到大于10倍的信噪比.相对地,在传统的单链DNA组装上6个碱基的作用力不足以实现良好的信噪比.同时,基于TSP的金电极组装模式由于较厚的四面体组装层所得到的有效空间,更利于DNA杂交反应以及复杂结构的形成.我们使用了Y-支状的DNA杂交策略分别在TSP和单链上做了对比,发现TSP能非常好地区分SNP,而传统单链上在Y-支状DNA杂交策略的条件下区分度就非常有限.这两点都充分地体现了TSP更接近于溶液相体系的优越性,这种三维DNA探针的优越性为我们研究和应用DNA纳米技术在界面反应提供了新的可能.

基于DNA纳米结构的传感界面调控及生物检测应用

生物传感技术在环境、安全和医学诊断等应用中具有重要意义。如何精确调控自组装界面上生物识别探针与界面的相互作用来提高生物传感的性能则是其中的关键问题。常规界面组装过程中,DNA等生物分子往往在界面形成非均一的自组装层,分子结合能量壁垒高,识别效率低。我们通过构建有序DNA纳米结构,发展了纳米尺度精确调控界面性质的方法。通过在界面上形成以熵驱动主导的均匀自组装层,增加探针分子间的有效距离,并通过精确调控界面上DNA纳米结构的尺寸,显著提高界面DNA杂交效率与速率。我们在DNA四面体上修饰不同的生物识别分子(DNA、抗体、核酸适配体等),可构建通用检测平台,实现对核酸、蛋白、小分子及细胞的高灵敏检测,并且在复杂样本中同样保持了优异的检测性能。在此基础上,我们将四面体三维结构探针应用于细胞内以及活体检测,研究了DNA四面体在细胞内的运输途径及靶向定位方式,并实现对细胞内ATP分布的传感成像及小鼠体内肿瘤组织的靶向成像,有望发展活体生物传感的新探针。

Self-assembled monolayers as a base for immunofunctionalisation: unequal performance for protein and bacteria detection

Biosensor development strongly depends on the optimisation of surface functionalisation strategies. When gold surfaces are considered, immunofunctionalisation by modification of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is one of the preferred approaches. In this respect, SAM-based antibody (Ab) incorporation has shown better performance than Ab physisorption for the detection of proteins and small targets. Reports on bacteria detection are less frequent. In this work, we assess the performance of various SAM-based gold immunofunctionalisation strategies, currently applied to protein detection, in the field of bacteria determination. We present the results for Ab chemical conjugation on mercaptopropanoic acid and mercaptoundecanoic acid SAMs, as well as on a dextranized cysteamine SAM. All the modified surfaces studied were shown to be appropriate for the direct detection of an enzyme-labelled protein, but none succeeded in detecting a bacterial target in a sandwich assay format. Conversely, gold functionalised by Ab physisorption allowed E. coli detection when a sandwich enzyme-linked assay was carried out. The implications of bacteria size and wall complexity are discussed. These results indicate that immunofunctionalisation strategies appropriate for protein detection are not necessarily transferable to work with more complex targets such as bacteria. In this respect, Ab physisorption appears to be a suitable alternative to SAM-based gold functionalisation for bacteria detection.     

Electroanalysis of single-nucleotide polymorphism by hairpin DNA architectures

Genetic analysis of infectious and genetic diseases and cancer diagnostics require the development of efficient tools for fast and reliable analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in targeted DNA and RNA sequences often responsible for signalling disease onset. Here, we highlight the main trends in the development of electrochemical genosensors for sensitive and selective detection of SNP that are based on hairpin DNA architectures exhibiting better SNP recognition properties compared with linear DNA probes. SNP detection by electrochemical hairpin DNA beacons is discussed, and comparative analysis of the existing SNP sensing strategies based on enzymatic and nanoparticle signal amplification schemes is presented.     

Highly multiplex and sensitive SNP genotyping method using a three‐color fluorescence‐labeled ligase detection reaction coupled with conformation‐sensitive CE

For the development of clinically useful genotyping methods for SNPs, accuracy, simplicity, sensitivity, and cost‐effectiveness are the most important criteria. Among the methods currently being developed for SNP genotyping technology, the ligation‐dependent method is considered the simplest for clinical diagnosis. However, sensitivity is not guaranteed by the ligation reaction alone, and analysis of multiple targets is limited by the detection method. Although CE is an attractive alternative to error‐prone hybridization‐based detection, the multiplex assay process is complicated because of the size‐based DNA separation principle. In this study, we employed the ligase detection reaction coupled with high‐resolution CE‐SSCP to develop an accurate, sensitive, and simple multiplex genotyping method. Ligase detection reaction could amplify ligated products through recurrence of denaturation and ligation reaction, and SSCP could separate these products according to each different structure conformation without size variation. Thus, simple and sensitive SNP analysis can be performed using this method involving the use of similar‐sized probes, without complex probe design steps. We found that this method could not only accurately discriminate base mismatches but also quantitatively detect 37 SNPs of the tp53 gene, which are used as targets in multiplex analysis, using three‐color fluorescence‐labeled probes.

Highly sensitive analysis strategies of microRNAs based on electrochemiluminescence

The ultrasensitive detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) is currently pursued for the diagnosis of diseases. Due to its outstanding sensitivity, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is expected to be very effective toward the above goal. In this short review, bioanalytical strategies currently employed in ECL detections of miRNAs are summarized. ECL sensors based on electrochemiluminescent resonance energy transfer (ERET), hybridization chain reaction (HCR), strand displacement reaction (SDR), and other strategies, have an extremely low detection limit of 10^?18 M miRNA. In particular, the establishment of miniaturized ECL sensors has shown great potential for point-of-need testing of diseases.     

Use of an electrochemically labeled nucleotide terminator for known point mutation analysis

A novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assay utilizing an electrochemically tagged chain terminator is described. The system employs the single-base extension (SBE) technique coupled to capillary gel electrophoresis with end-column electrochemical detection. A redox-labeled chain terminator, ferrocene-acycloATP, is used in the SBE reaction. When the mutation site corresponds to the labeled chain terminator, the extension product is rendered electroactive. The reaction mixture is subsequently separated by capillary gel electrophoresis and the extension product detected at the separation anode with sinusoidal voltammetry. This work demonstrates the first known SNP assay utilizing redox-active chain terminators coupled to electrochemical detection. The methodology presented could lead to a fast, simple, and cost-effective SNP scoring system.     

Fabrication of poly(ethylene glycol)‐based hydrogels entrapping enzyme‐immobilized silica nanoparticles

In this study, we immobilized enzymes by combining covalent surface immobilization and hydrogel entrapment. A model enzyme, glucose oxidase (GOX), was first covalently immobilized on the surface of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) via 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), and the resultant SNP‐immobilized enzyme was physically entrapped within photopolymerized hydrogels prepared from two different molecular weights (MWs) (575 and 8000 Da) of poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG). The hydrogel entrapment resulted in a decrease in reaction rate and an increase in apparent K_m of SNP‐immobilized GOX, but these negative effects could be minimized by using hydrogel with a higher MW PEG, which provides higher water content and larger mesh size. The catalytic rate of the PEG 8000 hydrogel was about ten times faster than that of the PEG 575 hydrogel because of enhanced mass transfer. Long‐term stability test demonstrated that SNP‐immobilized GOX entrapped within hydrogel maintained more than 60% of its initial activity after a week, whereas non‐entrapped SNP‐immobilized GOX and entrapped GOX without SNP immobilization maintained less than 20% of their initial activity. Incorporation of SNPs into hydrogel enhanced the mechanical strength of the hydrogel six‐fold relative to bare hydrogels. Finally, a hydrogel microarray entrapping SNP‐immobilized GOX was fabricated using photolithography and successfully used for quantitative glucose detection.

Improvement of analytical performances of a disposable electrochemical immunosensor by using magnetic beads

A comparison of two electrochemical immunosensing strategies for PCBs detection, based on the use of two different solid phases, is here discussed. In both cases, carbon-based screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are used as transducers in a direct competitive immunoassay scheme, where PCBs in solution compete with the tracer PCB28-alkaline phosphatase (AP) labeled for antibodies immobilized onto the solid-phase.In the standard format (called EI strategy), SPEs are both the solid-phase for immunoassay and electrochemical transducers: in this case the immunochemical reaction occurs onto the working electrode. Finally, the enzymatic substrate is added and an electroactive product is generated and detected by electrochemical measurement. In order to improve the performances of the system, a new approach (called EMI strategy) is developed by using functionalized magnetic beads as solid phase for the competitive assay; only after the immunosensing step they are captured by a magnet onto the working surface of the SPE for the electrochemical detection.Experimental results evidenced that the configuration based on the use of separate surfaces for immunoassay and for electrochemical detection gave the best results in terms of sensitivity and speed of the analysis. The improvement of analytical performances of the immunosensor based on EMI strategy was also demonstrated by the analysis of some spiked samples.
