A gold nanoparticle based colorimetric and fluorescent dual-channel probe for acetylcholinesterase detection and inhibitor screening.

ABSTRACT: Based on the competitive host-guest interaction between p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (p-SC₆A) capped AuNPs and Rhodamine B (RhB)/acetylthiocholine, a fluorescent and colorimetric dual channel probe was developed for rapid detection of AChE with high sensitivity and selectivity. The detection limit was estimated to be 0.16 mU mL^-1. Crucially, due to the specific host-guest interaction, the high selectivity of the bioassay permitted the discrimination of AChE from other cations and proteins including biothiols and enzymes. Furthermore, the present method was also successfully applied to determinate AChE levels and screen AChE inhibitors in real cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, which suggested that our proposed method has great potential to be applied in monitoring the disease progression and drug treatment effects of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Gold Nanoparticle-Based Colorimetric and Electrochemical Methods for Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Activity Assay and Inhibitor Screening.

Project description:We presented the colorimetric and electrochemical methods for determination of the dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) activity and screening of its inhibitor using gold nanoparticle (AuNP) as the probe. In the colorimetric assay, the substrate peptide with a sequence of Arg-Pro-Arg induced the aggregation and color change of AuNPs, whereas cleavage of the peptide by DPP-IV prevented the aggregation of AuNPs. Furthermore, the aggregation of AuNPs in the solution was easily initiated on a solid/liquid (electrode/electrolyte) surface, which induced a decrease in the electron-transfer resistance. However, once the peptide was clipped by DPP-IV, the assembly of AuNPs on electrode surface was prevented. Consequently, a higher electron-transfer resistance was observed. The colorimetric and electrochemical assays allowed for the determination of DPP-IV with the detection limits of 70 μU/mL and 0.55 μU/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, the proposed methods were used to determine DPP-IV inhibitor with satisfactory results. Both the colorimetric and electrochemical methods are simple, rapid and sufficiently sensitive for DPP-IV activity assay and inhibitor screening. The results also demonstrated that the AuNP-based colorimetric assay could be converted into an enhanced surface tethered electrochemical assay with improving sensitivity. The simple detection principle may be extended to the design of other peptidases biosensors with easy manipulation procedures.

Stress response decay with aging visualized using a dual-channel logic-based fluorescent probe.

Project description:Diagnosing aging for preventative intervention generally relies on the tracking of aging biomarkers in the resting state. However, the static marker levels are insufficient to fully evaluate aging, particularly given that the stress response capacity (SRC) decay is currently viewed as a critical feature of aging. Therefore, we have developed a dual-channel fluorescent probe ROKS capable of the logic-based visualization of thiophenol (stressor) and HOCl (thiophenol-activated stress response product) in vivo, which provides a new strategy from the time dimension to precisely assess the SRC of individuals under stress using the dual-channel fluorescence ratio. Using ROKS we observed that the SRC of live cells decayed with senescence, and that a higher SRC was found for young vs. aged Caenorhabditis elegans. As such, our study offers a promising strategy for the fluorescence-guided diagnosis of aging and paves the way for accurate evaluation of the efficacy of anti-aging drugs.

A sequence-activated AND logic dual-channel fluorescent probe for tracking programmable drug release.

Project description:The translation of biomarker sensing into programmable diagnostics or therapeutic applications in vivo is greatly challenging, especially for eliminating the 'false positive' signals from OR logic gates. Herein we present a sense-of-logic dual-channel nanoprobe, operating through a sequence-activated AND logic gate by responding ultra-sensitively to pH changes and being subsequently triggered with biothiol for the controllable release of anti-cancer drugs. Specifically, programmable drug release is conducted in a multistage tumor microenvironment (acidic endocytic organelles followed by abnormal glutathione-overexpressing cell cytosol), which is synchronous with dual-channel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence output. This approach represents the merging of sensing and release, including logically enabled molecular design, biomarker sensing, and controllable drug release. Impressively, the sequential AND logic feature within an unprecedented framework provides feedback on the diversity and complexity of biological milieu, along with remarkably enhancing the tumor therapeutic efficiency via its precise targeting ability and programmable drug release.

Colorimetric and Fluorescent Dual-Modality Sensing Platform Based on Fluorescent Nanozyme.

Project description:Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes based on carbonaceous nanomaterials are advantages due to high stability, good biocompatibility, and the possibility of multifunctionalities through materials engineering at an atomic level. Herein, we present a sensing platform using a nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (NGQD) as a highly efficient fluorescent peroxidase mimic, which enables a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-modality platform for detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and biomolecules (ascorbic acid-AA, acid phosphatase-ACP) with high sensitivity. NGQD is synthesized using a simple hydrothermal process, which has advantages of high production yield and potential for large-scale preparation. NGQD with uniform size (3.0 ± 0.6 nm) and a single-layer graphene structure exhibits bright and stable fluorescence. N-doping and ultrasmall size endow NGQD with high peroxidase-mimicking activity with an obviously reduced Michaelis-Menten constant (K m) in comparison with natural horseradish peroxidase. Taking advantages of both high nanozyme activity and unique fluorescence property of NGQD, a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-modality platform capable of detecting H2O2 and biomolecules (AA, ACP) with high sensitivity is developed as the proof-of-concept demonstration. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying the nanozyme activity and biosensing are investigated.

Colorimetric bacteria sensing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using gold nanoparticle probes.

Project description:BackgroundDue to the advantages of molecular methods over biochemical methods, the use of molecular methods for diagnosing nosocomial infections such as Pseudomonas can be an appropriate and rapid way to choose the right diagnosis and treatment of infection and prevent further complications caused by the infection. The present article provides a description of the development of a nanoparticle-based detection technique for sensitive and specific deoxyribonucleic acid-based diagnostic of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Specific thiolated oligonucleotide probes for one of the hypervariable regions of the 16S rDNA gene were designed and applied for colorimetric detection of the bacteria.ResultsThe results of gold nanoprobe-nucleic sequence amplification indicated the probe attached to gold nanoparticles in the presence of the target deoxyribonucleic acid. It caused aggregation of gold nanoparticles in the form of connected networks resulting in color change and indicating the presence of the target molecule in the sample, which could be observed by the naked eye. In addition, the wavelength of gold nanoparticles changed from 524 to 558 nm. Multiplex polymerase chain reactions were performed using four specific genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (oprL, oprI, toxA, and 16S rDNA). The sensitivity and specificity of the two techniques were assessed. According to the observations, the specificity of both techniques was 100%, and the sensitivity was 0.5 ng/μL and 0.01 ng/μL of genomic deoxyribonucleic acid for multiplex polymerase chain reaction and colorimetric assay, respectively.ConclusionsThe sensitivity of colorimetric detection was about 50 times higher than the polymerase chain reaction using the 16SrDNA gene. The results of our study proved to be highly specific with potential use for early detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Mycotoxin Detection through Colorimetric Immunoprobing with Gold Nanoparticle Antibody Conjugates.

Project description:Driven by their exceptional optical characteristics, robust chemical stability, and facile bioconjugation, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as a preferred material for detection and biosensing applications in scientific research. This study involves the development of a simple, rapid, and cost-effective colorimetric immuno-sensing probe to detect aflatoxin B1 and zearalenone using AuNP antibody (AuNP-mAb) conjugates. Anti-toxin antibodies were attached to the AuNPs by using the physical adsorption method. The colorimetric immunosensor developed operates on the principle that the optical properties of the AuNP are very sensitive to aggregation, which can be induced by a critical high salt concentration. Although the presence of antibodies on the AuNP surface inhibits the aggregation, these antibodies bind to the toxin with higher affinity, which leads to exposure of the surface of AuNPs and aggregation in a salt environment. The aggregation triggers a noticeable but variable alteration in color from red to purple and blueish gray, as a result of a red shift in the surface plasmon resonance band of the AuNPs. The extent of the shift is dependent on the toxin exposure dose and can be quantified using a calibration curve through UV-Visible-NIR spectroscopy. The limit of detection using this assay was determined to be as low as 0.15 ng/mL for both zearalenone and aflatoxin B1. The specificity of the prepared immunoprobe was analyzed for a particular mycotoxin in the presence of other mycotoxins. The developed immunoprobe was evaluated for real-world applicability using artificially spiked samples. This colorimetric immunoprobe based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) has a reduced detection limit compared to other immunoassays, a rapid readout, low cost, and facile fabrication.

Analysis of Fluorescent Proteins with a Nanoparticle Probe.

Project description:This letter presents the first application of high energy, single nanoparticle probes (e.g., 520 keV Au(400) 2nm NP) in the characterization of surfaces containing fluorescent proteins (e.g., GFP variants) by their co-emitted photon, electron and secondary ion signals. NP induced protein luminescence increases with the NP incident energy, is originated by the NP impact and is transferred to the protein fluorophor via electronic energy transfer. Multi-electron emission is observed per single NP impacts and their distributions are specific to the target morphology and composition. Fragment ions of protein sub-units consisting of 2-7 amino acid peptides are observed under individual NP impacts that can be correlated to the random protein orientation relative to the impact site (e.g., outer layer or "skin" of the protein).

A Visible Colorimetric Fluorescent Probe for Hydrogen Sulfide Detection in Wine.

Project description:A new efficient and practical fluorescent probe 6-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)naphthalen-2-yl-thiophene-2-carboxylate (probe 1) was synthesized to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The addition of H2S caused the solution of probe 1 to change from colorless to yellow, and the solution of probe 1 changes to different colors with respect to different concentrations of H2S. Importantly, probe 1 could help detect H2S efficiently by a distinct color response as a visible detection agent. Probe 1 reacted with various concentrations of H2S (0-200 μM), and the detection limit for H2S was 0.10 μM. Particularly, probe 1 can be applied as a sensor to detect H2S accurately in wine samples.

Robust Rules for Optimal Colorimetric Sensing Based on Gold Nanoparticle Aggregation.

Project description:Spurred by outstanding optical properties, chemical stability, and facile bioconjugation, plasmonic metals have become the first-choice materials for optical signal transducers in biosensing. While the design rules for surface-based plasmonic sensors are well-established and commercialized, there is limited knowledge of the design of sensors based on nanoparticle aggregation. The reason is the lack of control over the interparticle distances, number of nanoparticles per cluster, or multiple mutual orientations during aggregation events, blurring the threshold between positive and negative readout. Here we identify the geometrical parameters (size, shape, and interparticle distance) that allow for maximizing the color difference upon nanoparticle clustering. Finding the optimal structural parameters will provide a fast and reliable means of readout, including unaided eye inspection or computer vision.

Development of label-free gold nanoparticle based rapid colorimetric assay for clinical/point-of-care screening of cervical cancer.

Project description:Cervical cancer is the fourth largest cancer, affecting women across the globe. Rapid screening is of vital importance for diagnosis and treatment of the disease, especially in developing countries with high risk populations. In this paper, we report a simple, novel and rapid approach for qualitative screening of cervical cancer. A label-free colorimetric technique ("C-ColAur") involving the in situ formation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in the presence of clinical samples is demonstrated. The as-formed Au NPs, owing to the sample composition produced a characteristic color that can be used for the qualitative detection of malignancy. We demonstrated the proof of principle using clinical samples (cervical fluid) collected from both cancer affected and healthy individuals. The results of the detection technique, "C-ColAur" when compared with those of the existing conventional diagnostic procedures (i.e. Pap smear or biopsy), showed 96.42% sensitivity. With the detection time less than a minute and with no/minimal sample processing requirements, the proposed technique shows great potential for point-of-care as well as clinical screening of cervical cancer.
