Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrochemical biosensors, and in particular to a construction method, construction structure and application of a serotonin electrochemical sensor based on a DNA framework nanomachine. Background Art

[0002] Serotonin is an important signaling molecule, acting as a neurotransmitter in the brain and crucially regulating various human activities and emotions. Imbalances in serotonin levels are associated with depression, addiction, and the development of various tumors. Therefore, detecting changes in serotonin levels is crucial for clinical diagnosis and medical research. Traditional methods for measuring serotonin often rely on its chemical structure, redox activity, and optical properties. These methods require specialized and expensive instrumentation and suffer from low specificity. In recent years, the development of molecular probes, including aptamers, genetically encoded proteins, and organic molecules, has made it possible to detect serotonin by exploiting its interaction with serotonin. Aptamers are oligonucleotides synthesized through in vitro screening experiments and possess advantages such as high affinity, strong selectivity, and ease of synthesis. Therefore, aptamer sensors are effective tools for detecting serotonin.

[0003] As a simple and effective amplification strategy, entropy-driven DNA circuits have the advantages of efficient catalytic ability, signal amplification ability and easy programming, and have been widely used in the research of molecular detection and logic gate construction. Compared with other amplification methods, entropy-driven DNA circuits effectively reduce the probability of nonspecific reactions and have a higher signal-to-noise ratio. However, most entropy-driven DNA circuits are composed of several freely diffusing DNA components in solution, with a low probability of molecular collisions and reduced reaction efficiency. To solve this problem, the invention prepares nano-triangular prisms (DTP) through DNA self-assembly, loads the reactants of the entropy-driven circuit with DTP, improves the reaction efficiency, constructs an aptamer sensor, and performs cyclic amplification detection of serotonin.

[0030] Step S4: Serotonin at different concentrations was mixed with DTP / (Aptamer / BP+(SP-MOF)-AP+FP), transferred to the MCH / IP / AuE surface for reaction, and then electrochemical conversion of MOF was performed.

[0031] The present invention utilizes DNA self-assembly technology to prepare nano-triangular prisms DTP, introduces an entropy-driven loop reaction for cyclic amplification, and electrochemically converts the metal framework material MOF for efficient signal output, thereby achieving sensitive detection of serotonin in serum samples. This provides a construction method, construction structure, and application of an efficient electrochemical sensor for detecting biomarkers, which has important application value in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases such as depression and carcinoid syndrome.

[0032] The operation of preparing the sensing interface in the above-mentioned step S1 is as follows: first, the gold electrode is polished with aluminum oxide powder, the electrode is placed in a dilute sulfuric acid solution for cyclic voltammetry scanning, and after drying with nitrogen, the fixed probe IP is reacted with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine for 60 minutes, and then added dropwise to the electrode surface in the dark for 12 hours. After rinsing, mercaptohexanol MCH is added dropwise to the electrode for sealing for 30 minutes to obtain MCH / IP / AuE.

[0033] The experimental operation of the above-mentioned step S2 is as follows: an aqueous solution of trivalent iron (e.g., ferric chloride solution) is mixed with a surfactant Pluronic F127, acetic acid and terephthalic acid are added in sequence and stirred for 2 hours, and then the mixture is transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene reactor and placed at a high temperature of 110°C for 24 hours. After centrifugal drying, the obtained MOF is mixed with 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and SP for 5 hours to obtain SP-MOF.

[0034] The experimental operation of the above-mentioned step S3 is to mix the DNA single strands S1, S2, and S3 in equal moles, heat them at 95°C for 10 minutes, and then cool them to room temperature at a rate of 1°C / minute to obtain the DTP structure. Subsequently, they are mixed with Aptamer / BP, SP-MOF, AP, S1D, S3U, and S3D in equal proportions and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, an equal molar amount of FP is added and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain DTP / (Aptamer / BP+(SP-MOF)-AP+FP).

[0035] The experimental operation of step S4 is as follows: DTP / (Aptamer / BP+(SP-MOF)-AP+FP) was mixed with different concentrations of serotonin, transferred to the surface of MCH / IP / AuE and reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, the electrode was placed in K3Fe(CN)6 solution and a voltage of 1.6V was applied to generate Fe 3+, then reacts at a voltage of 0V to produce Prussian white PW, which is oxidized by oxygen to obtain Prussian blue PB on the electrode surface.

[0036] The electrochemical sensor for detecting serotonin is constructed using the method for constructing a serotonin electrochemical sensor based on a DNA framework nanomachine. The serotonin electrochemical sensor based on a DNA framework nanomachine is used to detect serotonin levels in serum samples.

[0037] The specific principles are as follows:

[0038] The method for constructing the sensor in the invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown. First, three DNA single strands S1, S2 and S3 are annealed and hybridized to obtain the basic structure of a DNA triangular prism. Aptamer / BP, (SP-MOF)-AP and FP are then self-assembled on DTP in sequence, where Aptamer / BP and FP are located at two opposite vertices of the triangular prism, and SP-MOF and AP are located on the same side of the triangular prism. When the target serotonin specifically binds to the aptamer, the aptamer undergoes a conformational change to release the BP chain, and BP triggers a chain displacement reaction. In this reaction, BP first binds to the terminal toehold to displace the SP-MOF, exposing the toehold in the middle region of DTP. The FP chain undergoes a chain displacement reaction with the help of the toehold, releasing the BP chain and allowing it to be recycled. Based on this cyclic reaction, a large amount of SP-MOF is released and immobilized on the electrode surface by hybridization with the IP chain. MOF is used as a precursor to produce Prussian blue through electrochemical conversion. The reaction mechanism is summarized as follows: (1) The electrode undergoes hydrolysis reaction at high potential to produce O2 and H + ; (2) H + Inducing MOF dissociation and releasing Fe 3+ ; (3) At low potential, Fe 3+ and Fe(CN)6 3- Reduced to Fe 2+ and Fe(CN)6 4- ; (4)Fe 2+ and Fe(CN)6 4- The reaction generates Prussian white (PW); (5) PW is oxidized by O2 to Prussian blue (PB). Finally, sensitive detection of serotonin is achieved by measuring the current signal of Prussian blue.

[0039] To demonstrate the feasibility of this method for detecting serotonin, we performed differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) tests ( Figure 2). When the electrode reacted with DTP / (Aptamer / BP+SP-AP+FP), the DPV curve had no obvious peak current (curve a). After the addition of serotonin, the current signal did not change significantly (curve b), which was due to the lack of electrical signal substances. When the sensor was incubated with DTP / (Aptamer / BP+(SP-MOF)-AP+FP), a very small current signal was obtained (curve c), which was caused by nonspecific adsorption. After adding a mixture of serotonin and DTP / (Aptamer / BP+(SP-MOF)-AP), a significant peak current was obtained at 0.23V (curve d). After further introduction of FP, the current signal increased significantly (curve e), indicating that FP drove the DNA chain displacement cycle reaction, thereby proving that the sensor can achieve amplified detection of serotonin.

[0040] The DNA nanostructures were then characterized. Figure 3 As can be seen from the AFM image of A, the prepared DTP complex is in a state of single particle dispersion. After adding the target serotonin, a cross-linked polymer structure is obtained ( Figure 3 B), indicating that multiple DTPs are connected together. The side length of the DTP structure is 34 bases, and its diameter is about 18.4nm according to theoretical calculations. Dynamic light scattering characterization shows that the actual particle size distribution of DTP is between 13.5nm and 21nm ( Figure 3 C) This slight difference may be due to the distortion of the DNA nanostructure. Further analysis revealed that the product particle size increased significantly after the addition of serotonin. Figure 3 Zeta potential characterization of D showed that the potential of the DNA complex changed from -12.3 mV to -39.4 mV with the addition of the target. These experimental results successfully demonstrated that the addition of serotonin triggered the connection of DTP.

[0041] In order to investigate the quantitative detection capability of the sensor, we recorded and analyzed the current responses induced by different concentrations of serotonin. Figure 4 As can be seen from A, the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) current signal increases with the increase of serotonin concentration. Figure 4 Linear analysis of B showed that there was a good linear relationship between the DPV peak current value and the logarithm of serotonin concentration in the range of 1pM to 500nM (R 2 =0.9957), the linear equation is i=67.85+5.532lgc. By the 3 times standard deviation rule (LOD=3S b / m) and the detection limit was 0.4 pM, where S bis the standard deviation of the blank response, and m is the slope of the calibration curve. Furthermore, the relative standard deviation of the sensor obtained by repeated six detections of 1 nM serotonin was 3.9%, indicating that the sensor has excellent reproducibility.

[0042] We then selected common neurotransmitters and serotonin metabolites as interfering substances to investigate the specificity of the assay. Figure 5 A It can be seen that compared with the background signal, the response of interfering substances including epinephrine (NE), glycine (Gly), tryptophan (Trp), glucose (Glu), histamine (His) and 5-methoxytryptophan (MTP) did not change significantly. However, a concentration of serotonin ten times smaller (20nM) caused a significant increase in the current, and the mixture (Mix) of these interfering substances had no significant effect on the current of serotonin, proving that the sensor has excellent specificity. In addition, we analyzed the feasibility of the sensor in detecting human serum samples and investigated the applicability of this method in detecting actual biological samples. The serum sample was diluted 10 times with a buffer solution in advance, and different concentrations of serotonin (5pM, 50pM, 50nM and 500nM) were added. The experimental results are shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown in Figure B, the current response caused by the blank serum sample is very small. After adding serotonin, the current signal of the sensor increases significantly. The current signal increases with the increase of serotonin concentration, indicating that this method has good applicability in actual sample detection.
