Abstract
The concentration variation of luteinizing hormone (LH) regulates the cell cycle of oocyte meiosis and significantly affect the whole reproductive cycle. Sensitively quantifying the LH biomarker therefore plays an important role for reproductive disease diagnosis. By coupling a new low background catalytic redox recycling strategy with hybridization chain reaction (HCR), we propose a highly sensitive bio-electrochemical aptamer LH sensing method. LH analyte molecules bind aptamer strands in duplex DNAs to liberate ssDNAs, which trigger HCR generation of [Ru(NH3)6]Cl3 (RuHex)-modified dsDNA polymers on sensor electrode. Subsequent electrochemical redox recycling of RuHex mediated by K3[Fe(CN)6] thus exhibits greatly magnified currents for ultrasensitive LH assay. The synergistic integration of HCR signal amplification with low background redox recycling leads to highly enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity for detecting LH down to 6.03 pM. In addition, LH sensing in diluted human serums has been tested and verified, making such sensor a robust detection platform for monitoring diverse biomarkers at low levels for early diagnosing diseases.
期刊介绍:
An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of:
• Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction.
• Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms)
• Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes)
• Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion)
• Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair).
• Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control.
• Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
