Lectins are highly specific binding proteins for glycoproteins which widely exist in living organisms, playing a vital role in exploring the biological evolution process, such as cellular proliferation, differentiation, carcinogenesis and apoptosis. Therefore, the content monitoring of lectin becomes particularly significant and urgent in the bioanalytical application. In this work, we fabricated an aptasensor, majorly capitalizing the eminent affinity between sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin (Ig)-like lectin 5 (Siglec-5) and nucleic acids aptamer (K19), with nontoxic MoS@Au nanocomposites as electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters based on exonuclease III (Exo III)-powered DNA walker for the bioassays of Siglec-5. The DNA track was constructed on the emitters' surface, providing a reliable platform for the DNA walker's autonomous move. In the assay, the primer DNA in the DNA duplex was replaced by Siglec-5 due to the aptamer interactions and repeatedly released to participate in the movement of the DNA walker, further triggering cascade signal amplification. Finally, our aptasensor indicates significant potential for assays of Siglec-5 with a detection limit of 8.9 pM.
凝集素是一类对糖蛋白具有高度特异性的结合蛋白,广泛存在于生物体中,在探索生物进化过程(如细胞增殖、分化、癌变和凋亡)中发挥着至关重要的作用。因此,在生物分析应用中,凝集素的含量监测变得尤为重要和迫切。在这项工作中,我们构建了一种适体传感器,主要利用唾液酸结合免疫球蛋白(Ig)样凝集素5(Siglec-5)与核酸适体(K19)之间的卓越亲和力,以无毒的MoS@Au纳米复合材料作为基于核酸外切酶III(Exo III)驱动的DNA步行器的电化学发光(ECL)发射体,用于Siglec-5的生物测定。DNA轨道构建在发射体表面,为DNA步行器的自主移动提供了一个可靠的平台。在测定中,由于适体相互作用,DNA双链中的引物DNA被Siglec-5取代,并反复释放以参与DNA步行器的移动,进一步触发级联信号放大。最后,我们的适体传感器在Siglec-5测定中显示出显著的潜力,检测限为8.9 pM。
