Chemo-dynamic therapy (CDT) has a great potential in tumor extirpation. It entails producing hypertoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage the DNA of tumor cells and other biomacromolecules. However, the efficiency of CDT is severely hampered by the massive presence of glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells and the interference of ROS defense systems, such as Mutt homolog 1 (MTH1) protein sanitizes ROS-oxidized nucleotide pools. In this research, DNA-mediated self-assembly nanoparticles (HTCG@TA NPs) were engineered with high-performance amplified oxidative damage and gene therapy effect for synergistic anti-tumor treatment. Cu 2+ was converted into Cu + by redox reactions to deplete GSH while H 2 O 2 was catalyzed to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH). As a result, the ROS level was evidently improved. Moreover, controllable-released TH588 prevented MTH1-mediated DNA repairing, thus aggravated oxidative damage to tumor cells. Meanwhile, the released functional nucleic acid G3139 downregulated the expression of Bcl-2, and accelerated the apoptosis of tumor cells. In conclusion, the HTCG@TA demonstrated significant effect in oxidative damage amplification and tumor inhibition both in vitro and in vivo , which has provided a new outlook for the clinical application of chemo-dynamic tumor treatment and synergistic gene therapy with self-delivery nanoplatforms.

An electrochemical aptasensor was developed by utilizing a DNA walker driven by catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) with kanamycin as the model analyte. Kanamycin bound to the aptamer, causes the release of DNA walker, triggers the CHA reaction, leads to the cyclic movement of the walker’s long arm, and results in cascade amplification of the signal. The guanine-rich sequences of the double-stranded products produced by CHA were folded to form G-quadruplex structures, with electrochemical active molecules Hemin embedded, forms G-quadruplex/Hemin complexes in situ on the electrode surface, thereby achieving sensitive, efficient, and label-free detection of kanamycin with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.27 pM (S/N = 3). Meaningfully, the aptasensor demonstrated high sensitivity and reliability in the detection of kanamycin in milk and livestock wastewater samples, suggesting that it has great potential for application in detecting antibiotics in food products and water samples from the environment.

We describe a rapid and convenient colorimetric method for the detection of oxidative DNA damage caused by peroxynitrite (ONOO − ) using unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs are stable in the presence of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) against the aggregation induced by a high ionic strength. If adsorbed ssDNA are cleaved by ONOO − to form smaller fragments, the AuNPs rapidly aggregate due to electrostatic attraction. As a result, the color of the solution changes from red to blue, and this can be seen with bare eyes. We also have evaluated the activity of the antioxidants gallic acid, ascorbic acid and caffeic acid to scavenge ONOO − . This method therefore also can be applied to screen for anti-oxidation drugs and agents.
ONOO − -induced ssDNA cleavage can be visually detected by a red-to-blue color change of AuNPs.

A novel and efficient method to evaluate the DNA hybridization based on a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system, with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-doped fluorescent silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) as donor and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as acceptor, has been reported. The strategy for specific DNA sequence detecting is based on DNA hybridization event, which is detected via excitation of SiNPs-oligonucleotide conjugates and energy transfer to AuNPs-oligonucleotide conjugates. The proximity required for FRET arises when the SiNPs-oligonucleotide conjugates hybridize with partly complementary AuNPs-oligonucleotide conjugates, resulting in the fluorescence quenching of donors, SiNPs-oligonucleotide conjugates, and the formation of a weakly fluorescent complex, SiNPs-dsDNA-AuNPs. Upon the addition of the target DNA sequence to SiNPs-dsDNA-AuNPs complex, the fluorescence restores (turn-on). Based on the restored fluorescence, a homogeneous assay for the target DNA is proposed. Our results have shown that the linear range for target DNA detection is 0–35.0 nM with a detection limit (3σ) of 3.0 picomole. Compared with FITC-dsDNA-AuNPs probe system, the sensitivity of the proposed probe system for target DNA detection is increased by a factor of 3.4-fold.

In this study, a novel strategy for amplified electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of DNA was proposed based on excellent ECL activity of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) coupled with multiple cycling amplification technique. A new type of graphene QDs with well ECL property and uniform size were firstly synthesized, then the graphene QDs were assembled on the electrode by poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites, which could greatly improve ECL signal and stability of QDs. A novel signal-on ECL biosensor for DNA analysis was designed by using ECL quenching of gold nanoparticles (NPs) to graphene QDs combined with endonuclease–aided cyclic amplification strategy. As a result, the proposed strategy can be conveniently expanded to other biosensing application, especially in clinical diagnoses.

Kanamycin (KAN) and tobramycin (TOB), as aminoglycoside antibiotics, can induce irreversible ototoxicity and dose-dependent nephrotoxicity risks to human health through residual contaminations. Consequently, sensitive monitoring of TOB and KAN residues in animal-derived foods is of critical importance; however, methods that can enable simultaneous detection of these two antibiotics have been rarely reported. This work demonstrates an ultrasensitive and multiplexed electrochemical aptasensor for simultaneous sensing of KAN and TOB via catalytic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/reduced graphene (rGO) nanocomposites and cascaded DNA assembly signal amplifications. Upon binding with their corresponding aptamers in duplex probes, KAN and TOB trigger initiator strands liberation to trigger cascade hybridization DNA assemblies, which enrich numerous auxiliary probes labeled with distinct electroactive reporters, methylene blue (MB) and ferrocene (Fc), on AuNPs/rGO-modified electrode surface. Subsequent electro-catalytic oxidation of MB and Fc yields markedly amplified and well-resolved redox currents, leading to highly sensitive aptamer-based assay of KAN and TOB in dynamic range of 0.1–300 nM with detection limits of 42.14 pM (KAN) and 58.42 pM (TOB). Such multiplexed sensor also enables the monitoring of low-level antibiotic residues in milk matrices, thereby providing promising potentials for the construction of sensitive aptasensors for convenient and simultaneous detection of various antibiotic residues.

We provide a novel, simple, and general strategy based on a DNA–graphene oxide (GO)–Fenton hybrid system for fluorescence turn-on detection of hydroxyl radicals (HO˙) and Fe2+, in which GO as a nanoquencher is utilized for reducing the background signal and simplifying procedures. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between GO and dye units incorporated into DNA is switched off as a result of HO˙-induced strand breakage in the single-stranded DNAs, restoring the fluorescence of the quenched fluorophores. In our assay, HO˙ is generated by Fe2+ catalyzing decomposition of hydrogen peroxide through the Fenton reaction. Therefore, switching off FRET depends on the amounts of Fe2+ and HO˙. In vitro assays with Fe2+ and HO˙ demonstrated increases in fluorescence intensity with a linear range from 10 nM to1 μM and a detection limit as low as 2.4 nM.

5-formylcytosine (5 fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) serve as key intermediates in DNA demethylation process with significant implications for gene regulation and disease progression . In this study, we introduce a novel electrochemical sensing platform specifically designed for the sensitive and selective detection of 5 fC and 5caC in DNA . Protein A-modified magnetic beads (ProtA-MBs) coupled with specific antibodies facilitate the immunorecognition and enrichment of these modified bases. Signal amplification is achieved through several chemical reactions involving the interaction between N 3 -kethonaxl and guanine , copper-free click chemistry for the attachment of dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)-Biotin, and the subsequent recognition by streptavidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (SA-HRP). The assay's readout is performed on a disposable laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrode, modified with the bead-antibody-DNA complex in a magnetic field , and analyzed using differential pulse voltammetry in a system employing hydroquinone (HQ) as the redox mediator and H 2 O 2 as the substrate. This immunosensor displayed excellent sensitivity, with detection limits of 14.8 fM for 5 fC across a 0.1–1000 pM linear range and 87.4 fM for 5caC across a 0.5–5000 pM linear range, and maintained high selectivity even in the presence of interferences from other DNA modifications . Successful application in quantifying 5 fC and 5caC in genomic DNA from cell extracts, with recovery rates between 97.7% to 102.9%, underscores its potential for clinical diagnostics. N 3 -kethoxal was used for the first time in an electrochemical sensor. This work not only broadens the toolkit for detecting DNA modifications but also provides a fresh impetus for the development of point-of-care testing (POCT) technologies.

Sepsis represents a life-threatening systemic inflammatory condition characterized by organ dysfunction, where the identification of specific biomarkers and development of effective diagnostic modalities are critical for timely clinical intervention to mitigate disease progression. Emerging evidence positions exosomal microRNAs (exomiRs) as promising novel biomarkers with multi-dimensional clinical utility spanning early diagnosis, therapeutic efficacy assessment, and longitudinal prognostic monitoring in sepsis management. However, the direct rapid detection of exomiRs in clinical specimens undergoes severe critical challenges due to the absence of robust detection methodologies with these characteristics of operational simplicity, high sensitivity and analytical robustness. Here, we designed and constructed a hairpin/loop-constrained three-dimensional topological self-assembling nanostructure, which was denoted as DNA molecular lock (DML), and developed a spatially allosteric-mediated electrochemical nanobiosensor for ultrasensitive and specific analysis of exomiR-125b. This independent, rapid, and portable detection method, combined with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/AuAgNPs nanozymes, achieved excellent sensitivity with a linear range from 2 fM to 200 nM and a low detection limit of 0.15 fM. It provided required low-volume plasma samples (2 mL) for analysis while supported Bluetooth-enabled wireless communication and real-time data processing. Furthermore, integration of machine learning algorithms with this developed nanobiosensor improved differential diagnostic accuracy to 96.6 % in the training cohort ( n = 83) and 89.2 % in the validation cohort ( n = 57), effectively distinguishing sepsis patients (SPs), general inflammation patients (GIPs), and healthy donors (HDs). Our study establishes the sensor's efficacy in improving sepsis detection through biomarker-guided analysis. These findings highlight the potential application of this developed nanobiosensors for portable, personalized bedside monitoring of exomiRs as the point-of-care testing (POCT) platforms.

A series of Dehydroabietylamine (DHAA) C-ring Schiff derivatives, L3-L20, were synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxic activity against the human tumor cell lines cervix HeLa, breast MCF-7, lung A549, liver HepG2, and the nonmalignant cell line umbilical vein HUVEC was investigated. Most of the compounds showed varying degrees of anticancer activity against HeLa cell lines while demonstrating lower toxicity to normal HUVEC cells compared to DHAA and doxorubicin (DOX), especially compound L19, which not only enhanced the anticancer activity of DHAA, but also significantly reduced the toxicity to normal cells, achieving a selectivity index (SI) 118 times higher than that of DHAA and 245 times higher than that of DOX. In addition, compound L19 induced apoptosis in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner and arrested the cell cycle in S phase. Spectroscopic experiments and molecular docking results showed that there was a strong interaction between the compounds and DNA. All these results indicate that the introduction of Schiff base structure on the C-ring of DHAA is an effective strategy for enhancing its selectivity, providing new insights for the design of DHAA-based anticancer compounds

CRISPR/Cas9 technology applied to Plasmodium falciparum offers the potential to greatly improve gene editing, but such expectations including large DNA fragment knock-ins and sequential gene editing have remained unfulfilled. Here, we achieved a major advance in addressing this challenge, especially for creating large DNA fragment knock-ins and sequential editing, by modifying our suicide-rescue-based system that has already been demonstrated to be highly efficient for conventional gene editing. This improved approach was confirmed to mediate efficient knock-ins of DNA fragments up to 6.3 kb, to produce “marker-free” genetically engineered parasites and to show potential for sequential gene editing. This represents an important advancement in establishing platforms for large-scale genome editing, which might gain a better understanding of gene function for the most lethal cause of malaria and contribute to adjusting synthetic biology strategies to live parasite malaria vaccine development. Site-directed knock-in of large DNA fragments is highly efficient using suicide-rescue-based CRISPR/Cas9 system, and sequential gene insertion is feasible but further confirmation is still needed.

Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely utilized chemotherapeutic antibiotic, increasingly threatens environmental and public health due to its persistence in marine ecosystems, bioaccumulation in organisms, and contamination of agricultural systems. In response to the urgent demand for effective DOX detection, we have developed a label-free fluorescent aptamer biosensor (FAB) that employs SYBR Green I (SG I)-mediated signal amplification. A key innovation in this design is the strategic fragmentation of the 41-mer complementary strand (CP) of the DOX aptamer into three 11-mer fragments. It significantly mitigates nonspecific SG I binding interference caused by the longer ssDNA CP, enhancing the fluorescence signal ratio (F dsDNA /F ssDNA ) from 4.6-fold to 12.6-fold. Upon DOX introduction, competitive binding between DOX, SG I, and DNA further suppresses background noise, yielding an exceptional fluorescence quenching ratio (F 0 /F) of 52.8. The optimized FAB demonstrates ultra-sensitive DOX detection, with a detection limit of 1.41 nM and a linear response between 1.41 nM and 300 nM. The recoveries of DOX spiked into pond water and drinking water samples ranged from 95.1% to 101.8%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 3.46%, demonstrating negligible matrix effects and confirming the FAB method’s robustness for environmental monitoring applications. This strategy synergistically enhances signal transduction efficiency, and strengthens detection reliability, all while maintaining operational simplicity. As a result, this FAB for DOX detection holds transformative potential, poised to revolutionize biosensor technology in the fields of food safety, environmental monitoring, and biosecurity.
