Abstract
Membrane proteins play crucial roles in cellular activities and are the major actors of bio-membrane functions. Programmed death ligand receptor 1 (PD-L1) is a type of transmembrane protein that is overexpressed on certain tumor cells, leading to the immune escape of cancer cells. Here, a detection method was developed using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) through aptamer-specific recognition and enzyme-catalyzed reaction, which converts the PD-L1 expression into an electrical signal. The aptamer (MJ5C) modified alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can specifically capture PD-L1, and ALP catalyzes the reduction of 4-aminophenyl phosphate (PAPP) to p-aminophenol (PAP), the current response of PAP at SECM tip is positively correlated with the expression of PD-L1 on NCI-H1975 cell. The results showed that this method could real-time detect the expression of PD-L1 on a single cell stimulated by drugs and dibenzothiophene (DBT). Overall, this method provides a new feasible method for the real-time nondestructive detection of single-cell membrane protein expression and a new avenue for studying the effect of pollutants on membrane protein.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
