Sensitive and selective detection of ultralow concentrations of specific biomolecules is important in early clinical diagnoses and biomedical applications. Many types of aptasensors have been developed for the detection of various biomolecules, but usually suffer from false positive signals and high background signals. In this work, we have developed an amplified fluorescence aptasensor platform for ultrasensitive biomolecule detection based on enzyme-assisted target-recycling signal amplification and graphene oxide. By using a split molecular aptamer beacon and a nicking enzyme, the typical problem of false positive signals can be effectively resolved. Only in the presence of a target biomolecule, the sensor system is able to generate a positive signal, which significantly improves the selectivity of the aptasensor. Moreover, using graphene oxide as a super-quencher can effectively reduce the high background signal of a sensing platform. We select vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as model analytes in the current proof-of-concept experiments. It is shown that under optimized conditions, our strategy exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for the quantification of VEGF and ATP with a low detection limit (1 pM and 4 nM, respectively). In addition, this biosensor has been successfully utilized in the analysis of real biological samples.
在早期临床诊断和生物医学应用中,对超低浓度特定生物分子进行灵敏且选择性的检测至关重要。已经开发出多种类型的适体传感器用于检测各种生物分子,但通常存在假阳性信号和高背景信号的问题。在这项工作中,我们基于酶辅助的靶标循环信号放大和氧化石墨烯,开发了一种用于超灵敏生物分子检测的荧光适体传感器放大平台。通过使用分裂型分子适体信标和切口酶,可以有效解决假阳性信号这一典型问题。只有在存在靶标生物分子时,传感器系统才能产生阳性信号,这显著提高了适体传感器的选择性。此外,使用氧化石墨烯作为超级猝灭剂可以有效降低传感平台的高背景信号。在当前的概念验证实验中,我们选择血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和三磷酸腺苷(ATP)作为模型分析物。结果表明,在优化条件下,我们的策略对VEGF和ATP的定量具有高灵敏度和选择性,检测限低(分别为1 pM和4 nM)。此外,这种生物传感器已成功用于实际生物样品的分析。
