Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an eicosane, regulates the physiological activity of inflammatory cells and represents a potential therapeutic target for facilitating tissue repair in vivo. In our work, an electrochemical immunosensor employing Ketjen black-Au nanoparticles (KB–Au) and poly tannic acid nanospheres conjugated with anti-PGE2 polyclonal antibody (PTAN-Ab) was designed to ultra-sensitively analyze PGE2 levels secreted by living cells and tissues. Antibody assembly strategies were explored to achieve signal amplification. Moreover, we studied the therapy effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (AA), hyaluronic acid (HA), and small molecule 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase inhibitor (SW033291) on inflammation and evaluated the protective functions of HA and SW033291 in a murine model subjected to colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) using the developed sensor. The sensor exhibited a linear range of 10−5–106 fg/mL and a detection limit (LOD) of 10−5 fg/mL. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) samples were used to achieve high recovery of target analytes. This study not only presents an effective strategy for ultra-sensitively monitoring PGE2 but also provides valuable insights into assessing the degree of inflammation and the therapeutic effect of related drugs. Research on human health monitoring and regenerative medicine could greatly benefit from the findings.
期刊介绍:
Biosensors & Bioelectronics, along with its open access companion journal Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X, is the leading international publication in the field of biosensors and bioelectronics. It covers research, design, development, and application of biosensors, which are analytical devices incorporating biological materials with physicochemical transducers. These devices, including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, and lab-on-a-chip, produce digital signals proportional to specific analytes. Examples include immunosensors and enzyme-based biosensors, applied in various fields such as medicine, environmental monitoring, and food industry. The journal also focuses on molecular and supramolecular structures for enhancing device performance.
