An ultrasensitive fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) bioassay was developed to detect staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), a low molecular exotoxin, using an aptamer-affinity method coupled with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-sensing, and the fluorescence intensity was prominently enhanced using an exonuclease-catalyzed target recycling strategy. To construct this aptasensor, both fluorescence donor probes (complementary DNA 1–UCNPs) and fluorescence quencher probes (complementary DNA 2–Black Hole Quencher 3 (BHQ 3)) were hybridized to an SEB aptamer, and double-strand oligonucleotides were fabricated, which quenched the fluorescence of the UCNPs via FRET. The formation of an aptamer–SEB complex in the presence of the SEB analyte resulted in not only the dissociation of aptamer from the double-strand DNA but also both the disruption of the FRET system and the restoration of the UCNPs fluorescence. In addition, the SEB was liberated from the aptamer–SEB complex using exonuclease I, an exonuclease specific to single-stranded DNA, for analyte recycling by selectively digesting a particular DNA (SEB aptamer). Based on this exonuclease-catalyzed target recycling strategy, an amplified fluorescence intensity could be produced using different SEB concentrations. Using optimized experimental conditions produced an ultrasensitive aptasensor for the detection of SEB, with a wide linear range of 0.001–1 ng mL −1 and a lower detection limit (LOD) of 0.3 pg mL −1 SEB (at 3 σ). The fabricated aptasensor was used to measure SEB in a real milk samples and validated using the ELISA method. Furthermore, a novel aptasensor FRET assay was established for the first time using 30 mol% Mn 2+ ions doped NaYF 4:Yb/Er (20/2 mol%) UCNPs as the donor probes, which suggests that UCNPs are superior fluorescence labeling materials for food safety analysis. 相似文献

A target-induced structure-switching electrochemical aptasensor for sensitive detection of ATP was successfully constructed which was based on exonuclease III-catalyzed target recycling for signal amplification. With the existence of ATP, methylene blue (MB) labeled hairpin DNA formed G-quadruplex with ATP, which led to conformational changes of the hairpin DNA and created catalytic cleavage sites for exonuclease III (Exo III). Then the structure-switching DNA hybridized with capture DNA which made MB close to electrode surface. Meanwhile, Exo III selectively digested aptamer from its 3′-end, thus G-quadruplex structure was destroyed and ATP was released for target recycling. The Exo III-assisted target recycling amplified electrochemical signal significantly. Fluorescence experiment was performed to confirm the structure-switching process of the hairpin DNA. In fluorescence experiment, AuNPs–aptamer conjugates were synthesized, AuNPs quenched fluorescence of MB, the target-induced structure-switching made Exo III digested aptamer, which restored fluorescence. Under optimized conditions, the proposed aptasensor showed a linear range of 0.1–20 nM with a detection limit of 34 pM. In addition, the proposed aptasensor had good stability and selectivity, offered promising choice for the detection of other small molecules. 相似文献

A sensitive, label free electrochemical aptasensor for small molecular detection has been developed in this work based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) amplification. This aptasensor was fabricated as a tertiary hybrid DNA-AuNPs system, which involved the anchored DNA (ADNA) immobilized on gold electrode, reporter DNA (RDNA) tethered with AuNPs and target-responsive DNA (TRDNA) linking ADNA and RDNA. Electrochemical signal is derived from chronocoulometric interrogation of [Ru(NH 3) 6] 3+ (RuHex) that quantitatively binds to surface-confined DNA via electrostatic interaction. Using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a model analyte and ATP-binding aptamer as a model molecular reorganization element, the introduction of ATP triggers the structure switching of the TRDNA to form aptamer-ATP complex, which results in the dissociation of the RDNA capped AuNPs (RDNA-AuNPs) and release of abundant RuHex molecules trapped by RDNA-AuNPs. The incorporation of AuNPs in this strategy significantly enhances the sensitivity because of the amplification of electrochemical signal by the RDNA-AuNPs/RuHex system. Under optimized conditions, a wide linear dynamic range of 4 orders of magnitude (1 nM-10 μM) was reached with the minimum detectable concentration at sub-nanomolar level (0.2 nM). Those results demonstrate that our nanoparticles-based amplification strategy is feasible for ATP assay and presents a potential universal method for other small molecular aptasensors. 相似文献

A simple and sensitive bifunctional electrochemical aptasensor for detection of adenosine and thrombin has been developed using gold nanoparticles–electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs-ERGO) composite film-modified electrode. Firstly, the reduced graphene oxide film and AuNPs were sequentially immobilized on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface. Secondly, thrombin aptamer was immobilized on the modified electrode. Finally, adenosine aptamer was hybridized with it to serve as a recognition element and methylene blue (MB) as electrochemical signal indicator. In the presence of adenosine or thrombin, the sensor recognized it and a conformational change was induced in aptamer, resulting in decrease of the peak current of MB. The linear relation between concentration of adenosine or thrombin and peak current of MB allowed quantification of them. Thanks to the special electronic characteristic of AuNPs-ERGO composite film, sensitivity of sensor was greatly improved. Under optimal conditions, the proposed aptasensor presented an excellent performance in a linear range of 25 nM to 750 nM for adenosine and 0.5 nM to 10 nM for thrombin. Detection limits were estimated to be 8.3 nM for adenosine and 0.17 nM for thrombin, respectively. Moreover, dual-analyte detection of adenosine and thrombin was achieved without potentially increasing the complexity and cost of the assay. 相似文献

A novel electrochemical biosensor for cancer cell detection was developed based on aptamer-based competition and supersandwich G-quadruplex DNAzyme amplification strategy. Due to the stronger affinity between the aptamer and cancer cells than that with its complementary oligonucleotide, the complementary oligonucleotide will be facilely replaced. As a consequence, we can detect cancer cells indirectly by detecting the releasing DNA which is proportional to the concentration of K562 cells. Through the supersandwich G-quadruplex DNAzyme amplification strategy, the sensitivity can be dramatically enhanced with detection limit down to 14 cells. 相似文献

A simple turn-on and homogeneous aptasensor, which relies on target induced formation of silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs), was developed for the determination of platelet-derived growth factor B-chain homodimer (PDGF-BB). The aptasensor contains two hairpin DNA probes termed as P1 and P2. P1 consists of the aptamer sequence of PDGF-BB. Meanwhile, P2 contains the Ag NCs nucleation sequence, which is blocked by the hairpin stem region. P1 and P2 can co-exist metastably in the absence of PDGF-BB and maintain hairpin structure. However, in the presence of PDGF-BB, the binding of PDGF-BB with aptamer will result in the hybridization between P1 and P2, and release the Ag NCs nucleation sequence. In this case, Ag NCs can be formed via the reduction of Ag + by NaBH 4. By monitoring the increase in fluorescence intensity, we could detect the target protein with high sensitivity. The detection limit of this aptasensor is 0.37 nM, which is comparable with that of other reported aptasensors. Furthermore, this proposed aptasensor shows high selectivity toward its target protein. Thus, the proposed aptasensor based on target induced formation of Ag NCs could be used as a sensitive and selective platform for the detection of target protein. 相似文献

Based on the super fluorescence quenching efficiency of graphene oxide and exonuclease III aided signal amplification, we develop a facile, sensitive, rapid and cost-effective method for DNA detection. In the presence of target DNA, the target-probe hybridization forms a double-stranded structure and exonuclease III catalyzes the stepwise removal of mononucleotides from the blunt 3′ termini of probe, resulting in the recycling of the target DNA and signal amplification. Therefore, our proposed sensor exhibits a high sensitivity towards target DNA with a detection limit of 20 pM, which was even lower than previously reported GO-based DNA sensors without enzymatic amplification, and provides a universal sensing platform for sensitive detection of DNA. 相似文献

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for platelet-derived growth factor B chain (PDGF-BB) assay was developed by assembling N-(aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol functionalized gold nanoparticles (ABEI-AuNPs) with aptamers as nanoprobes. In the protocol, the biotinylated aptamer capture probes were first immobilized on a streptavidin coated gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) modified electrode, afterwards, the target PDGF-BB and the ABEI-AuNPs tagged aptamer signal probe were successively attached to the modified electrode by virtue of the dimer structure of PDGF-BB to fabricate a "sandwich" conjugate modified electrode, i.e. an aptasensor. ECL measurement was carried out with a double-step potential in carbonate buffer solution containing H(2)O(2). The aptasensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity toward PDGF-BB and specificity toward PDGF-BB aptamer. The detection limit was as low as 2.7 × 10(-14) M. In this work, the ABEI-AuNPs synthesized by a simple seed growth method have been successfully used as aptamer labels, which greatly amplified the ECL signal by binding numbers of ABEI molecules on the surface of AuNPs. The ABEI-AuNPs signal amplification is superior to other reported signal amplification strategies based on aptamer-related polymerase chain reaction or functionalized nanoparticles in simplicity, stability, labeling property and practical applicability. And the ABEI-AuNPs based nanoprobe is more sensitive than the luminol functionalized AuNPs based nanoprobe. Moreover, such an ultra-sensitive and low-cost assay can be accomplished with a simple and fast procedure by using a simple ECL instrumentation. The aptasensor was also applied for the detection of PDGF-BB in human serum samples, showing great application potential. Given these advantages, the ECL aptasensor is well suited for the direct, sensitive and rapid detection of protein in complex clinical samples. 相似文献

The detection of biomarkers is of great significance in the diagnosis of numerous diseases,especially cancer.Herein,we developed a sensitive and universal fluorescent aptasensor strategy based on magnetic beads,DNA G-quadruplex,and exonuclease Ⅲ(Exo Ⅲ).In the presence of a target protein,a label-free single strand DNA(ssDNA)hybridized with the aptamer was released as a trigger DNA due to specific recognition between the aptamer and target.Subsequently,ssDNA initiates the ExoⅢ-aided recycling to amplify the fluorescence signal,which was caused by N-methylmesoporphyrin IX(NMM)insertion into the G-quadruplex structure.This proposed strategy combines the excellent specificity between the aptamer and target,high sensitivity of the fluorescence signal by G-quadruplex and ExoⅢ-aided recycling amplification.We selected(50-1200 nmol/L)MUC1,a common tumor biomarker,as the proof-of-concept target to test the specificity of our aptasenso r.Results reveal that the sensor sensitively and selectively detected the target protein with limits of detection(LODs)of 3.68 and 12.83 nmol/L in buffer solution and 10%serum system,respectively.The strategy can be easily applied to other targets by simply substituting corresponding aptamers and has great potential in the diagnosis and monitoring of several diseases. 相似文献

We have developed a simple, inexpensive, and label-free method for the selective detection of adenosine. Klenow fragment polymerase (KF polymerase) is a commonly-used 5' to 3' DNA polymerase, it also has 3' to 5' exonuclease activity that can digest single-stranded DNA. An adenosine binding DNA aptamer was employed, the aptamer was split into two pieces of single-stranded DNA (aptamer-A1 + aptamer-A2). Without the addition of adenosine, aptamer-A1 and aptamer-A2 existed as single-stranded DNA which could be efficiently degraded by the exonuclease activity of KF polymerase. Much reduced background fluorescence was obtained when SYBR Green dye was added. However, in the presence of adenosine, aptamer-A1 and aptamer-A2 bound to adenosine, and hybridization of the complementary sequences resulted in the formation of a duplex DNA structure, which could initiate DNA polymerization. The addition of SYBR Green dye resulted in a very high fluorescence enhancement, which could be used for the quantification of adenosine. 相似文献

A novel electrochemical detection approach for platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) via "sandwich"structure is reported in this paper. 3D-4MgCO_3 Mg(OH)_2 4H_2O-Au NPs inorganic hybrid composite was utilized as immobilized substrate for sensitive PDGF detection and Pt-Au bimetallic nanoparticles were labelled on PDGF aptamer to indirectly detect PDGF for the first time. The proposed aptasensor exhibited a high catalytic efficiency towards reduction of H_2O_2, hence the sensitive detection of PDGF was achieved.Results showed that the aptasensor exhibited excellent linear response to PDGF, in the range of 0.1 pg/m L–10 ng/m L(4 fmol/L–400 pmol/L), with detection limit of 0.03 pg/m L(1.2 fmol/L). 相似文献

A rapid, low‐cost, highly sensitive, and specific capacitive aptasensor is presented for detection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Exposure to LPS could cause fever, gram‐negative sepsis, septic shock, and eventual death. Hence, rapid, low cost, and sensitive detection of LPS is pivotal for the safety of food, pharmaceutical, and medical devices and products. In this work, a capacitive sensing method based on alternating current electrokinetics is developed to achieve rapid and specific detection of LPS. This method uses an alternating current signal for two purposes. One is to induce positive dielectrophoresis, which attracts LPS toward the sensor electrodes’ surface and accelerates its binding with the immobilized aptamer probe. The other purpose is to simultaneously sense the binding reaction by measuring the interfacial capacitance change on the electrodes’ surface. The testing procedures and instrumentation setup of this sensing platform are significantly simplified while finding quantitative concentrations of both analytical and complex samples within 30 s. When testing analytical samples of LPS from Escherichia coli O55:B5, a LOD of 4.93 fg/mL is achieved. The recovery analysis is also performed with LPS spiked in a complex matrix and good recovery rates are demonstrated. This work provides an affordable and field‐deployable platform for highly sensitive and real‐time LPS detection. 相似文献

The combination of high selectivity of aptamer with the peroxidase-mimicking property of DNAzyme has presented considerable opportunities for designing colorimetric aptasensor for detection of ochratoxin A (OTA). The activities of both aptamer (as biorecognition element) and DNAzyme (as signal amplification element) are blocked via base pairing in the hairpin structure. Hybridization chain reaction (HCR) between two hairpin DNAs was employed to further improve the sensitivity of this method. The presence of OTA triggers the opening of the hairpin structure and the beginning of HCR, which results in the release of many DNAzyme, and generates enhanced colorimetric signals, which is correlated to the amounts of OTA with linear range between 0.01 to 0.32 nM, and the limit of detection is 0.01 nM under optimal conditions. OTA in yellow rice wine and wheat flour samples was also detected using this method. We demonstrate that a new colorimetric method for the detection of OTA has been established, which is simple, easy to conduct, label-free, sensitive, high throughput, and cost-saving. 相似文献

A sensitive and selective method for the paraoxon detection based on enzyme inhibition and fluorescence quenching was presented in this study. Under the catalytic effect of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), acetylthiocholine (ATCh) hydrolysis released thiocholine (TCh) which could react with N-(7-dimethylamino-4-methylcoumarin-3-yl) maleimide (DACM) to produce a blue fluorescence compound. Subsequently, AChE catalytic activity was inhibited with the addition of paraoxon, which caused TCh decreased, leading to a significant decrease of the blue fluorescent compound. Meanwhile, p-nitrophenol, the hydrolysis product of paraoxon, would lead to a quenching of the fluorescence. Therefore, fluorescence intensity of the system would decrease dramatically by a combined effect of enzyme inhibition and fluorescence quenching. Under optimal experimental conditions, an excellent linear relationship between the decrease of fluorescence intensity and paraoxon concentration over the range from 5.5 × 10 −12 to 1.8 × 10 −10 mol L −1 was obtained. Fluorescence background caused by nonenzymatic hydrolysis of ATCh or other matters was relatively low, the proposed approach offered adequate sensitivity for the detection of paraoxon at 3.5 × 10 −12 mol L −1. 相似文献

Cortisol is a steroid hormone naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It participates in and controls several processes in the body and is considered an important physiological biomarker. Due to its very low concentrations in body fluids, its detection requires high sensitivity and specificity. Here, we present a simple electrochemical biosensor based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the immobilization of the cortisol-specific aptamer (Ap) (MCH-Ap-AurGO/GCE). Important analytical parameters for identifying the target analyte were optimized, such as conditions and amount of immobilized Ap, the influence of the concentration and nature of the supporting electrolyte, pH of the medium, and incubation time. The optimized conditions for the aptasensor were: concentration of Ap 1.0 × 10 −6 mol L −1, support electrolyte Tris/HCl 50 mmol L −1, MgCl 2 10 mmol L −1, and NaCl 10 mmol L −1, at pH 5.0 and incubation time of 15 min. A linear response range was obtained from 1 × 10 −18 up to 1 × 10 −11 mol L −1 of cortisol with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.0 × 10 −18 mol L −1. A curve adjusted for operational purposes in the saliva sample was fitted for the concentration range between 0.5 × 10 −14 and 1 × 10 −11 mol L −1, with a linear regression equation ΔRtc/Rtc 1 = 2.70 + 0.17 × log([Cortisol]). The aptasensor demonstrated a great potential for detecting cortisol in a simple, fast, and highly sensitive way, opening its path for application in real samples, which present levels below the concentration in which cortisol is commonly found in body fluids. 相似文献

The versatility of an on-chip graphene oxide (GO) aptasensor was successfully confirmed by the detection of three different proteins, namely, thrombin (TB), prostate specific antigen (PSA), and hemagglutinin (HA), simply by changing the aptamers but with the sensor composition remaining the same. The results indicate that both DNA and RNA aptamers immobilized on the GO surface are sufficiently active to realize an on-chip aptasensor. Molecular selectivity and concentration dependence were investigated in relation to TB and PSA detection by using a dual, triple, and quintuple microchannel configuration. The multiple target detection of TB and PSA on a single chip was also demonstrated by using a 2 × 3 linear-array GO aptasensor. This work enables us to apply this sensor to the development of a multicomponent analysis system for a wide variety of targets by choosing appropriate aptamers. 相似文献
