CISS-Based Label-Free Novel Electrochemical Impedimetric Detection of UVC-Induced DNA Damage.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we demonstrate chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS)-based label-free electrochemical impedimetric detection of radiation-induced DNA damage using the electrons' spin as a novel tool of sensing. For this, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of short ds-DNA (of length 7.14 nm) are prepared on arrays of multilayer thin film devices comprising a gold overlay (500 μm diameter with 10 nm thickness) on a nickel thin film (100 nm) fabricated by the physical vapor deposition technique. Subsequently, the SAMs of ds-DNA are exposed to ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation for a prolonged period of 8 h to induce structural perturbations in DNA. The susceptibility of DNA to radiation-induced damage was probed by recording the spin-dependent electrochemical impedimetric spectra, wherein a continuous sinusoidal wave of the amplitude of 10 mV was superimposed on DC bias in the frequency range of 10⁰-10⁵ Hz, with simultaneous spin injection through the attached DNA. The inherent correlation between the charge-transfer resistance (R _ct) and the spin selectivity of electrons through DNA was taken into account for the detection of DNA damage for the first time with a limit of detection achieved up to 10 picomolar concentrations of DNA. As the spin-polarized electrons directly probe the structural symmetry, it is robust against perturbation from electronic signals usually found in conventional electrochemical biosensors.

Project description:In the last decade, researchers have been searching for innovative platforms, methods, and techniques able to address recurring problems with the current cancer detection methods. Early disease detection, fast results, point-of-care sensing, and cost are among the most prevalent issues that need further exploration in this field. Herein, studies are focused on overcoming these problems by developing an electrochemical device able to detect telomerase as a cancer biomarker. Electrochemical platforms and techniques are more appealing for cancer detection, offering lower costs than the established cancer detection methods, high sensitivity inherent to the technique, rapid signal processing, and their capacity of being miniaturized. Therefore, Au interdigital electrodes and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to detect telomerase activity in acute T cell leukemia. Different cancer cell concentrations were evaluated, and a detection limit of 1.9 × 105 cells/mL was obtained. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterize the telomerase substrate (TS) DNA probe self-assembled monolayer on gold electrode surfaces. Atomic force microscopy displayed three-dimensional images of the surface to establish a height difference of 9.0 nm between the bare electrode and TS-modified Au electrodes. The TS probe is rich in guanines, thus forming secondary structures known as G-quadruplex that can be triggered with a fluorescence probe. Confocal microscopy fluorescence images showed the formation of DNA G-quadruplex because of TS elongation by telomerase on the Au electrode surface. Moreover, electrodes exposed to telomerase containing 2',3'-dideoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate (ddGTP) did not exhibit high fluorescence, as ddGTP is a telomerase inhibitor, thus making this device suitable for telomerase inhibitors capacity studies. The electrochemical method and Au microchip device may be developed as a biosensor for a point-of-care medical device.
