An immunosensing biochip for simultaneous detection of three biomarkers related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was developed based on anionic soybean peroxidase (SBP) functionalized nanoprobe and chemiluminescent imaging. The nanoprobes (Ab2-SiO 2 -SBP) were fabricated by co-immobilization of SBP and one of the detection polyclonal antibodies , anti-cardiac troponin I antigen (anti-cTnI), anti-creatine kinase-MB (anti-CK-MB) and anti-myoglobin (anti-Myo), on the silica nanoparticle surface. The detection sensitivity was enhanced since the large surface area of silica carriers increased the loading of SBP for per sandwiched immunoreaction. The immunosensing biochip designed as 3 × 8 wells array was constructed by simultaneously immobilizing three capture monoclonal antibodies on the same one microtiter well with 2 × 3 active spots. In the presence of target protein, the nanoprobes will be attached onto the spots with high specificity through the sandwiched immunoreactions, which triggered the chemiluminescence (CL) signals on each sensing site of the microtiter plates and allowed to CL imaging of three biomarkers in one well at the same time. Therefore, the proposed biochip was a promising convenient strategy for simultaneous detection of cTnI, CK-MB and Myo, which showed potential application for multianalyte determination in clinical diagnostics.

The detection of cardiac markers with high sensitivity and specificity is exceedingly essential for the early diagnosis and warning of cardiovascular disease. In this work, we developed a microcavity-based sandwich immune chip to realize the ultrasensitive detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method. Herein, polystyrene microspheres modified with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were fixed on the substrate via polydopamine, which was used as an immune capture chip. 5,5′-Dithio bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4MBA) labelled Au NPs served as immune signal probes for cTnI and CK-MB, respectively. Light confinement effect of polystyrene (PS) microcavities and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) near the Au NPs synergistically strengthened the electromagnetic field and promoted the interaction between light and matter, which enhanced SERS performance with an enhancement factor of 1.95 × 10 12 for SERS sensing. The immunoassay results demonstrated the sensitive quantitative detection with the limit of detection (LOD) of 3.16 pg/mL and 4.27 pg/mL for cTnI and CK-MB, separately. The method also had good specificity, reproducibility and stability. It could be expected that our proposed microcavity-based SERS chip immunoassay technique would be considered as an effective diagnostic tool for ultrasensitive detection of cardiac biomarkers.

Introduction: Black ginseng (BG) was processed by “steaming and drying” (generally nine times) repeatedly to produce “rare saponins” and secondary ginsenosides. Both ginseng (GS) and red ginseng (RG) were commonly used in treating heart failure (HF), and the latter was confirmed to be more potent, implying the presence of rare ginsenosides that contribute positively to the treatment of heart failure. Previous research indicated that rare ginsenosides are more abundant in BG than in RG. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the effects of BG and its components on HF to elucidate the active substances and their underlying mechanisms in the treatment of HF.Methods: The effects of BG and its fractions (water-eluted fraction (WEF), total saponin fraction (TSF), and alcohol-eluted fraction (AEF)) on rats with isoproterenol (ISO)-induced HF were explored, and steroids belonging to the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) and hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axes were determined quantitatively using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) method. In addition, 16S rDNA sequencing was performed on the gut microbiota, followed by GC–MS analysis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and the biochemical indexes related to energy metabolism and the serum cyclic nucleotide system were also analyzed by ELISA.Results: Based on a thorough evaluation of energy metabolism and the endocrine system, it was observed that the effects of BG components on the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) and HPA axes were more pronounced. Notably, the treatment efficacy of the low dose of the total saponin fraction (TSFL), water decoction (WD), and high dose of the polysaccharide fraction (PSFH) was superior based on pharmacodynamic indicators such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatine kinase (CK), and estradiol (E2)/T). Furthermore, the WD and BG components exhibited significant effects on androgens (T and androstenedione (A4)). The TSFL group exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by regulating Lactobacillus/Erysipelotrichales. The WD, PSFH, and TSFL may impact inflammatory cytokines through the gut microbiota (Lactobacillus/Erysipelotrichales) and their metabolites (acetate and butyrate), exerting an anti-inflammatory effect.Discussion: The BG and all its split components demonstrated varying levels of efficacy in alleviating HF, and TSF and PSF exhibited a significant protective effect on HF. The main active components in TSF were revealed to be ginsenosides Rk1, Rk3, 20-(S)-Rg3, and 20-(S)-Rh2 by the H9C2 cell experiment. The decoction of BG and its components exhibited a potent impact on androgen hormones, with an elevation trend. This phenomenon may be attributed to the activation of the eNOS-NO pathway through androgen regulation, thereby contributing to its anti-HF activities. The WD, PSFH, and TSFL may exert anti-inflammatory effects through the intestinal flora (Lactobacillaceae/Erysipelotrichaceae) and its metabolites (acetic acid and butyric acid), which affect the inflammatory factors. The different mechanisms of action of each component of HF also reflect the significance and necessity of the overall role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Our research was the first to report that the E2/T is related to HF and can be used as an indicator to evaluate HF.
