The accurate and sensitive detection of tumor-derived exosomes holds significant promise for the early diagnosis of cancer. In this study, an electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the high-performance detection of exosomes by integrating dual-probe recognition and hybridization chain reaction (HCR). A dual-probe recognition unit composed of a MUC1 aptamer (MUC1-Apt) probe and cholesterol probe was designed for capturing target exosomes and reducing the interference from free proteins, significantly improving the accuracy of exosome detection. It should be noted that the dual-probe recognition unit was formed in conjunction with the HCR. Moreover, a large number of biotins were also assembled on the HCR product, which were used to capture avidin-horseradish peroxidase (SA-HRP) for signal amplification. The CD63 aptamer (CD63-Apt) was immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode for specifically capturing exosomes to construct a classical sandwiched structure. The loaded SA-HRP can efficiently catalyze the reaction of 3, 3', 5, 5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) to generate a large electrochemical signal. According to this phenomenon, a linear relationship of this proposed aptasensor was achieved between the electrochemical response and 1 × 10-1 × 10 particles/mL exosomes, with a detection limit of 45 particles/mL. Moreover, the aptasensor exhibited accepted stability and potential clinical applicability. All results proved that this aptasensor has a promising application in exosome-based disease diagnostics.
肿瘤来源外泌体的准确灵敏检测对癌症早期诊断具有重要意义。在本研究中,通过整合双探针识别和杂交链式反应(HCR)开发了一种用于高性能检测外泌体的电化学适配体传感器。设计了由MUC1适配体(MUC1-Apt)探针和胆固醇探针组成的双探针识别单元,用于捕获靶向外泌体并减少游离蛋白质的干扰,显著提高了外泌体检测的准确性。需要注意的是,双探针识别单元是与HCR协同形成的。此外,大量生物素也组装在HCR产物上,用于捕获抗生物素蛋白-辣根过氧化物酶(SA-HRP)进行信号放大。将CD63适配体(CD63-Apt)固定在金电极表面以特异性捕获外泌体,构建经典的夹心结构。负载的SA-HRP可以有效催化3,3',5,5'-四甲基联苯胺(TMB)和过氧化氢(HO)的反应以产生大的电化学信号。根据这一现象,该适配体传感器在电化学响应与1×10 - 1×10颗粒/ mL外泌体之间实现了线性关系,检测限为45颗粒/ mL。此外,该适配体传感器表现出可接受的稳定性和潜在的临床适用性。所有结果证明,这种适配体传感器在基于外泌体的疾病诊断中具有广阔的应用前景。
