The invention designs a biosynthetic hydroxyapatite-based
protein kinase B (Akt1) electrochemical sensor which is applied to Akt1 activity analysis in a
skin cell aging process. Hydroxyapatite is biologically synthesized through
bacillus subtilis and is uniformly deposited on the surface of a
glassy carbon electrode by utilizing a potentiometric deposition method. The surface of the material contains rich
phosphate groups and hydroxyl groups, can be combined with
lanthanum ions, and provides a good interface for subsequent sensor detection. In order to detect the activity of Akt1, a substrate polypeptide containing three
phosphorylation sites is designed. The Akt1 is subjected to
phosphorylation of a substrate polypeptide, negative charges are increased, combination of the Akt1 and
lanthanum ions on the surface of the
electrode is enhanced, the impedance on the surface of the
electrode is increased, and the activity of the Akt1 is reflected. And the unphosphorylated substrate polypeptide cannot be effectively attached and shows a relatively small impedance value. The accuracy of the sensor is verified by adopting an Akt1 inhibitor MK-2206.
Human skin fibroblasts (GNHu49) are taken as a model, and research finds that the activity of Akt1 in senescent cells is remarkably reduced, so that an experimental basis is provided for researching the activity change of Akt1 and the change of
cell functions in the
skin senescence process. The invention provides a new technical means for
skin aging research, anti-aging
drug evaluation and cosmetic technology.
