A zero-background fluorescent aptasensor for the ultrasensitive detection of pesticides has been successfully constructed, using poly(T) stabilized copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) as a fluorescent signal and three-dimensional (3-D) DNA walker as a signal amplifier. To fabricate the aptasensor, one strand of dsDNA and one strand of ssDNA are immobilized onto magnetic Fe 2 O 3 beads. The dsDNA is hybridized by the target aptamer contained DNA (Apt-1) and the partial complementary DNA which named as WS since it acts as a walking strand (WS) in DNA walker. Upon the specific binding between omethoate with Apt-1, WS becomes a free walking ssDNA strand. With the aid of nicking endonuclease, the 3-D DNA walker can produce a great quantity of poly(T) DNA during the WS walking. When the supernatant is added into ascorbic acid (AA) and Cu 2+ , poly(T) templated CuNPs forms and strong fluorescence generates. The developed aptasensor has a zero-background, and can ultrasensitively detect omethoate in the linear range of 0–200 nM with the detection limit of 0.22 nM. This zero-background aptasensor provides a facile strategy for pesticides determination in the fields of food safety and environmental monitoring.

A novel hybrid CHC was designed and synthesized by conjugating β-carboline with an important active fragment N-hydroxyacrylamide of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor by an amide linkage to enhance antitumor efficacy/potency or even block drug resistance. CHC displayed high antiproliferative effects against drug-sensitive SUMM-7721, Bel7402, Huh7, and HCT116 cells and drug-resistant Bel7402/5FU cells with IC50 values ranging from 1.84 to 3.27 μM, which were two-to four-fold lower than those of FDA-approved HDAC inhibitor SAHA. However, CHC had relatively weak effect on non-tumor hepatic LO2 cells. Furthermore, CHC exhibited selective HDAC1/6 inhibitory effects and simultaneously augmented the acetylated histone H3/H4 and α-tubulin, which may make a great contribution to their antiproliferative effects. In addition, CHC also electrostatically interacted with CT-DNA, exerted remarkable cellular apoptosis by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and DNA damage proteins in Bel7402/5FU cells, and significantly accumulated cancer cells at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle by suppressing CDK1 and cyclin B protein with greater potency than SAHA-treated groups. Finally, CHC displayed strong inhibitory potency to drug-resistant hepatic tumors in mice. Our designed and synthetic hybrid CHC could be further developed as a significant and selective anticancer agent to potentially treat drug-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma.

In this work, we constructed an exonuclease III cleavage reaction-based isothermal amplification of nucleic acids with CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated pH-induced regenerative Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for ultrasensitive and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acids for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. The triple-stranded nucleic acid in this biosensor has an extreme dependence on pH, which makes our constructed biosensor reproducible. This is essential for effective large-scale screening of SARS-CoV-2 in areas where resources are currently relatively scarce. Using this pH-induced regenerative biosensor, we detected the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection limit of 43.70 aM. In addition, the detection system has good stability and reproducibility, and we expect that this method may provide a potential platform for the diagnosis of COVID-19.

A photocathode is described for the determination of microRNA-21 by using CuInS 2 as an active photocathode material. Exonuclease III assisted target recycling amplification was employed to enhance the detection sensitivity. The TATA-binding protein (TBP) was applied to enhance steric hindrance which decreases the photoelectrochemical intensity. This strategy is designed by combining the anti-interference photocathode material, enzyme assisted target recycling amplification and TBP induced signal off, showing remarkable amplification efficiency. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit for microRNA-21 is as low as 0.47 fM, and a linear range was got from 1.0 × 10 −15 M to 1.0 × 10 −6 M.

A facile signal-on electrochemical DNA biosensor has been developed for ultrasensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria using an Exo III-assisted autonomous multiple-cycle amplification strategy. The strategy relies on pathogens and aptamer binding-initiated release of a trigger, which combines with the 3′-protruding terminus of the hairpin probe 1, leading to the formation of double-stranded DNA with a blunt 3′ terminus which starts the Exo III-assisted multiple signal amplification reaction. In addition, hairpin probe 2 labeled with an electroactive reporter at the middle of the loop region is ingeniously designed to contain a short hairpin-embedded segment, which can fold into a hairpin structure via an Exo III-assisted cleavage reaction, thus bringing the redox molecule in proximity to the electrode surface for “signal-on” sensing. Under optimal conditions, this biosensor exhibits a very low detection limit as low as 8 cfu mL−1 and a wide linear range from 1.0 × 101 to 1.0 × 107 cfu mL−1 of target pathogenic bacteria. As far as we know, this is the first time that the Exo III-assisted autonomous multiple-cycle amplification strategy has been used for signal-on electrochemical sensing of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the proposed sensor can also be used for highly sensitive detection of other targets by changing the aptamer sequence, such as nucleic acids, proteins and small molecules. Therefore, the proposed signal-on electrochemical sensing strategy might provide a simple and practical new platform for detection of pathogenic bacteria and related biological analysis, food safety inspection and environmental monitoring.

Cancer metastasis is a major cause of high mortality in breast cancer. Despite the progress achieved in nanomaterial-based treatments, the cure rate remains unsatisfactory, owing to their poor biocompatibility and non-specific recognition. Inspired by the cell-mimetic strategy, in this work, we fabricated an intelligent cell-like nano-prodrug (Dox-MPK@MDL) for lung metastasis of breast cancer. Specifically, a DNA tetrahedron dendrimer was selected to act as a rigid internal cytoskeleton, and then sequentially coated with a liposome and macrophage membrane to form cell-like Dox-MPK@MDL via hierarchical self-assembly. Here, it should be noted that pH-sensitive Dox-MPK prodrugs were synthesized and inserted into the DNA-based cytoskeleton (the Dox group is an intercalator of double stranded DNA) in advance for the next anti-metastatic therapy. Our results show that Dox-MPK@MDL specifically targeted the sites of lung metastasis via the biomimetic metastasis-homing effects and intelligently triggered Dox release at the metastatic cancer cells, thereby leading to the significant inhibition of lung metastasis. All these features help to enhance the anti-metastatic therapy efficiency of Dox while maximally reducing side-effects.

As an amide fungicide, fenhexamid has been extensively used to control botrytis and sclerotinia as well as antagonize the resistant bacteria produced by other pesticides. But because of the accumulation of residues in fruit and vegetable products, it may have an adverse effect on the health of human and animals. In this work, the exploration of the interaction between fenhexamid and calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was carried out by fluorescence spectroscopy , UV–vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, viscosity measurement, melting measurements, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation . The results implied that fenhexamid bound onto ct-DNA in terms of groove binding. And the outcomes from circular dichroism measurements demonstrated a slight change in the ct-DNA helical structure during the binding process. In addition, the combination ratio of fenhexamid with ct-DNA was 1:1 and the association constant was 2.52 × 10 3 M −1 at 298 K. The measured thermodynamic parameters indicated that hydrogen bonding interaction and van der Waals forces become more dominant during interacting fenhexamid with ct-DNA, which was further confirmed through computer simulation technique.

Design of suitable nanocomposites with tailored structures was significant in the fabrication of effective and reliable electrochemical sensors . Herein, the copper−nickel@nitrogen, boron−doped reduced graphene oxide (Cu–Ni@N,B−rGO) was successfully synthesized, which exhibited superior electrocatalytic performance towards guanine (G) and adenine (A) oxidation . The Cu–Ni NPs were sequentially decorated on N,B−rGO substrate via an environmentally friendly reduction strategy, which utilized glucose as reducer and stabilizing agent. The nanocomposites with large specific surface area, remarkable conductivity and high catalytic activity showed prominent synergistic effect owning to the uniform dispersion of Cu–Ni NPs on the surface of N,B−rGO. When applied to analysis of G and A using DPV, the wide linear ranges of 1.0–160.0 μM and 1.0–120.0 μM with the determination limits of 0.118 μM and 0.134 μM were obtained, respectively. The sensor was successfully applied to the detection of G and A in calf−thymus DNA with G/A ratio of 0.80. The facile preparation process and attractive sensing properties of the Cu–Ni@N,B−rGO nanocomposites made it a promising candidate for the development of advanced electrochemical sensor.

Herein, we report a facile enzyme-free microRNA (miRNA) target-triggered strand displacement reaction (SDR) amplification strategy with ferrocene (Fc) as a signal molecule to fabricate a two-dimensional electroactive molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 C)-based biosensor. In the presence of miRNA-21, SDR was initiated and many hairpin DNA1 (HDNA1) and hairpin DNA2 (HDNA2) duplexes, which could be captured by probe DNA leading the Fc-modified HDNA2 close to the electrode surface , were produced continuously. MiRNA-21 could be detected by monitoring the redox signal of Fc. The prepared N -carboxymethyl chitosan/Mo 2 C nanocomposite featured excellent conductivity , great dispersion, and multiple functional groups (amine groups). When the nanocomposite was introduced to a miRNA biosensor electrode interface to ensure its strong connection to the DNA probe, the developed miRNA-21 biosensor demonstrated a reliable linear range of 1.0 fM to 1.0 nM with a detection limit of 0.34 fM and showed good selectivity , reproducibility, and stability. The biosensor was employed to detect miRNA-21 in human serum samples, and it showed great potential in the early clinical diagnosis of various genetic diseases.

In this paper, a novel ultrasensitive signal-on electrochemical aptasensor has been proposed for Ochratoxin A (OTA) assay based on DNA controlled layer-by-layer assembly of dual gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugates. To construct the aptasensor, the 1 st AuNP conjugate was prepared by simultaneous immobilization of the capture probe 2 (CP2) and bridge probe (BP) onto the AuNPs. Then, OTA aptamer was loaded onto 1 st AuNPs by hybridization with CP2. The 1 st AuNP conjugate can be further immobilized onto the electrode by hybridization between BP and capture probe 1 (CP1), which was pre-immobilized on Au electrode. The 2 nd AuNP conjugate was prepared by immobilization of ferrocene (Fc) tagged SH-signal probe (SSP). Due to the recognition between aptamer on 1 st AuNP conjugate and OTA, CP2 was reformed in the ssDNA state, which can be utilized as the anchor for immobilization of 2 nd AuNP conjugate for electrochemical signal reporting. Because of the high surface-to-volume ratio and good conductivity of AuNPs, this dual AuNPs assembled nanoarchitecture finally lead to greatly improved abilities to load a large number of Fc molecules and significantly amply the electrochemical response even at a low target concentration. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of OTA were thus realized by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signals, resulting in an excellent detection limit of 0.001 ppb and a wide dynamic range from 0.001 to 500 ppb over 6 orders of magnitude. Moreover, the real sample analysis towards OTA spiked wine samples was favorable, implying a great potential for practical applications. We envision that this unique dual AuNP conjugate assembly strategy would pave a new avenue for the development of versatile signal amplified electrochemical aptasensors.

A electrochemical biosensing strategy was developed for green and ultrasensitive detection of tumor cells by combining aptamer-DNA concatamer-CdTe quantum dots (QDs) signal amplification probe with mercury-free anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). First, aptamer-DNA concatamer- CdTe QDs probes were designed by DNA hybridization and covalent assembling, which contained specific recognition of aptamer and signal amplification incorporating the DNA concatamer with QDs. Meanwhile, the capture electrode, glassy carbon electrode (GCE)/Graphene oxide (GO)/Polyaniline (PANI) / Glutaraldehyde (GA) / concanavalin A (Con A) was fabricated by a layer-by-layer assembling technique. K562 cells , as model cancer cells were detected to demonstrate the feasibility of this sensing strategy. Then, novel composite, graphene (GR)- Poly diallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA)/ L -Cysteine (L- Cys), was explored in ASV which replaced mercury electrodes using for determination of tumor cells. The proposed electrochemical biosensor showed high sensitivity with the detection limit of 60 cells mL −1 . More importantly, this novel design of signal amplification probes and the exploration of new composites in mercury-free ASV analysis would provide a promising method for ultrasensitive biosensor preparation and green electrochemical detection of tumor cells.

Acrolein (Acr), a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, can react directly with genomic DNA to form mutagenic adducts without undergoing metabolic activation. To sensitively and accurately quantify Acr–DNA adducts (including structural isomers and stereoisomers) in human leukocytes, we developed an enhanced stable isotope dilution ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)–tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method using ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3), which is thermally unstable and degrades readily to carbon dioxide and ammonia in heated gas phase. Interestingly, ammonium bicarbonate (as an additive to the mobile phase) not only improves the protonation of AcrdG adducts but also suppresses the formation of MS signal-deteriorating metal–AcrdG complexes during electrospray ionization, leading to the enhancement of their MS detection by 2.3–8.7 times. In contrast, routinely used ammonium salts (ammonium acetate and ammonium formate) and formic acid do not show similar enhancement. The developed method is potentially useful for enhancing ESI-MS detection of other modified 2′-deoxyribonucleosides that have difficulty in protonation and may form excess metal complexes during electrospray ionization. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N = 3) are estimated to be about 40–80 amol. By the use of the developed method, we found that the Acr adducts of three nucleotides (dG, dA, and dC) can be detected in human leukocytes. In addition to the known γ-AcrdG, α-AcrdA is also identified as an Acr-adduct of high abundance (2.5–20 adducts per108 nts).
