富含胞嘧啶单链DNA-银纳米簇荧光探针用于S1核酸酶的灵敏检测

以富含胞嘧啶（C）的单链DNA为模板合成银纳米簇,将其作为功能化探针,建立了一种无标记荧光检测S1核酸酶的方法.S1核酸酶可以特异性识别单链DNA,在最适的酶催化反应条件下,可将其降解为单核苷酸或寡核苷酸片段.当S1核酸酶不存在时,富含C的单链DNA可以有效地合成荧光银纳米簇;当S1核酸酶存在时,单链DNA模板被特异性识别并降解,导致无法形成银纳米簇,使体系荧光信号降低.实验结果表明,银纳米簇的荧光强度随着S1核酸酶浓度的增加而降低.在优化的条件下,体系荧光信号（F/F₀）与S1核酸酶的浓度在5.0×10^-5~4.0×10^-3 U/μL范围内呈线性关系,检出限为2.0×10^-6 U/μL.该荧光探针选择性好,可用于RPMI 1640细胞培养基中S1核酸酶的检测,回收率达到91.8%~109.5%.

A structure-switchable aptasensor for aflatoxin B1 detection based on assembly of an aptamer/split DNAzyme

An ultrasensitive, colorimetric and homogeneous strategy for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection, which uses a DNA aptamer and two split DNAzyme halves, has been developed. Split halves of a hemin-binding DNAzymes is combined with an AFB1 aptamer to generate a homogeneous colorimetric sensor that undergoes an AFB1 induced DNA structural change. In the absence of AFB1, the split probes have peroxidase mimicking DNAzyme activity associated with catalysis of a color change reaction. Specific recognition of AFB1 by the aptamer component leads to structural deformation of the aptamer-DNAzyme complex, which causes splitting of the DNAzyme halves and a reduction in peroxidase mimicking activity. Therefore, a decrease of colorimetric signal arising from the catalytic process takes place upon in the presence of AFB1 in a concentration dependent manner in the 0.1–1.0 × 10⁴ ng/mL range and with a colorimetric detection limit of 0.1 ng/mL. The new assay system exhibits high selectivity for AFB1 over other mycotoxins and can be employed detect the presence of AFB1 in ground corn samples. Overall, the strategy should serve as the basis for the development of rapid, simple and low-cost methods for detection of mycotoxins.     

Novel high-sensitive fluorescent detection of deoxyribonuclease I based on DNA-templated gold/silver nanoclusters

Herein, fluorescent DNA-templated gold/silver nanoclusters (DNA-Au/Ag NCs) are presented as a novel probe for sensitive detection of deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I). The procedure is based on quenching fluorescence of DNA-Au/Ag NCs by DNase I digestion of the DNA (5′-CCCTTAATCCCC-3′) template. This decrease in fluorescence intensity permitted sensitive detection of DNase I in a linear range of 0.013–60 μg mL⁻¹, with a detection limit of 3 ng mL⁻¹ at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Furthermore, the practicality of this probe for detection of DNase I in human serum and saliva samples was validated, demonstrating its advantages of simplicity, selectivity, sensitivity and low cost. Importantly, satisfactory agreement between results obtained by the fluorescent method described here and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) further confirmed the reliability and accuracy of this approach.     

Smartphone-Assisted Colorimetric Detection of Glutathione and Glutathione Reductase Activity in Human Serum and Mouse Liver Using Hemin/G-Quadruplex DNAzyme

Abnormal levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione reductase (GR) are usually related to a variety of diseases, so it is of great significance to determine the GSH concentration and GR activity. We herein develop a smartphone-assisted colorimetric biosensor for the detection of GSH and GR activity in human serum and mouse liver using hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme. Firstly, an obvious color change from colorless to green can be observed, owing to the high peroxidase-like activity of hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme toward 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiozoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). With the addition of GSH or GR, the H₂O₂-mediated oxidation of ABTS catalyzed by hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme is significantly inhibited, resulting in remarkable color fading. Therefore, the detection of GSH and GR activity can be achieved by observing the color transition or measuring the absorbance at 420 nm. The detection limit was estimated to be as low as 0.1 μM and 10 μU/mL for GSH and GR, respectively. More interestingly, the RGB values of the sensing system can be identified by the smartphone application (APP, color collect), which makes it an ideal format for on-site determination and point-of-care testing (POCT). In addition, the proposed method shows excellent selectivity and acceptable applicability for the determination of GSH concentration and GR activity in human serum samples and mouse liver tissues, which might hold great application potential in clinical diagnosis and drug screening.

Enzyme-regulated activation of DNAzyme: a novel strategy for a label-free colorimetric DNA ligase assay and ligase-based biosensing

The DNA nick repair catalyzed by DNA ligase is significant for fundamental life processes, such as the replication, repair, and recombination of nucleic acids. Here, we have employed ligase to regulate DNAzyme activity and developed a homogeneous, colorimetric, label-free and DNAzyme-based strategy to detect DNA ligase activity. This novel strategy relies on the ligation-trigged activation or production of horseradish peroxidase mimicking DNAzyme that catalyzes the generation of a color change signal; this results in a colorimetric assay of DNA ligase activity. Using T4 DNA ligase as a model, we have proposed two approaches to demonstrate the validity of the DNAzyme strategy. The first approach utilizes an allosteric hairpin-DNAzyme probe specifically responsive to DNA ligation; this approach has a wide detection range from 0.2 to 40?U?mL(-1) and a detection limit of 0.2?U?mL(-1). Furthermore, the approach was adapted to probe nucleic acid phosphorylation and single nucleotide mismatch. The second approach employs a "split DNA machine" to produce numerous DNAzymes after being reassembled by DNA ligase; this greatly enhances the detection sensitivity by a signal amplification cascade to achieve a detection limit of 0.01?U?mL(-1).     

Chemiluminescent Determination of MicroRNA-141 Using Target-Dependent Activation of the Peroxidase-Mimicking DNAzyme

A chemiluminescent method was developed for microRNA-141 (miRNA-141) detection based on the target-dependent activation of peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme. The structure of the probes was optimized which allowed the development of a sensitive method for miRNA-141. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit and the linear range were 100?pM and 0.1–50?nM, respectively. The sensitivity of the assay was 270,000?nM^?1. The values of coefficient of variation measured within the working range varied less than 2%, which indicates excellent precision for the proposed method.
