The determination of nitrite by a graphene quantum dot fluorescence quenching method without sample pretreatment

A method for quantitative analysis of nitrite was achieved based on fluorescence quenching of graphene quantum dots. To obtain reliable results, the effects of pH, temperature and reaction time on this fluorescence quenching system were studied. Under optimized conditions, decrease in fluorescence intensity of graphene quantum dots (F₀/F) showed a good linear relationship with nitrite concentration between 0.007692–0.38406 mmol/L and 0.03623–0.13043 μmol/L; the limits of detection were 9.8 μmol/L and 5.4 nmol/L, respectively. Variable temperature experiments, UV absorption spectra and thermodynamic calculations were used to determine the quenching mechanism, and indicated that it was an exothermic, spontaneous dynamic quenching process. This method was used to analyse urine samples, and showed that it could be applied to analyse biological samples.

Multiplexed miRNA northern blots via hybridization chain reaction

Northern blots enable detection of a target RNA of interest in a biological sample using standard benchtop equipment. miRNAs are the most challenging targets as they must be detected with a single short nucleic acid probe. With existing approaches, it is cumbersome to perform multiplexed blots in which several RNAs are detected simultaneously, impeding the study of interacting regulatory elements. Here, we address this shortcoming by demonstrating multiplexed northern blotting based on the mechanism of hybridization chain reaction (HCR). With this approach, nucleic acid probes complementary to RNA targets trigger chain reactions in which fluorophore-labeled DNA hairpins self-assemble into tethered fluorescent amplification polymers. The programmability of HCR allows multiple amplifiers to operate simultaneously and independently within a blot, enabling straightforward multiplexing. We demonstrate simultaneous detection of three endogenous miRNAs in total RNA extracted from 293T and HeLa cells. For a given target, HCR signal scales linearly with target abundance, enabling relative and absolute quantitation. Using non-radioactive HCR, sensitive and selective miRNA detection is achieved using 2′OMe-RNA probes. The HCR northern blot protocol takes ∼1.5 days independent of the number of target RNAs.     

Use of a thin film biosensor for rapid visual detection of PCR products in a multiplex format

Rapid, sensitive assays for nucleic acid amplification products have utility for the identification of bacterial or viral infections. We have developed a nucleic acid hybridization assay utilizing thin film technology that permits visual detection of hybrids. The silicon-based biosensor detects the presence of target sequences by enzymatically transducing the formation of nucleic acid hybrids into molecular thin films. These films alter the interference pattern of light on the biosensor surface, producing a perceived color change. We have applied this technology to the development of a chip containing capture probes specific for human respiratory virus sequences including respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus A and B, parainfluenza virus types 1 and 3, and rhinovirus. In a ten-minute assay, the biosensor permits unambiguous identification of viral-specific RT/PCR products from infected cell lysates.     

A T7exonuclease‐assisted target recycling amplification with graphene oxide acting as the signal amplifier for fluorescence polarization detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA

We report a fluorescence polarization (FP) platform for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA detection based on T7exonuclease‐assisted target recycling amplification with graphene oxide (GO) acting as a FP signal amplifier. In the sensing method, the presence of the target DNA leads to target recycling with the assistance of T7exonuclease, furthermore, the amplification products are absorbed onto the surface of GO, so the all FP values are enhanced by GO. More importantly, this FP sensor exhibits high detection sensitivity; under optimal conditions, the change in FP is linear with the concentration of the target DNA within a concentration range of 50–2000 pmol/L, and the detection limit of this method is as low as 38.6 pmol/L. This FP sensor also exhibits high selectivity, even single‐base mismatched DNA can be effectively discriminated from complementary target DNA. Above all, the proposed FP sensor may serve as a general platform for the sensitive assay of disease‐related genes. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nanographite‐based fluorescent biosensor for detecting microRNA using duplex‐specific nuclease‐assisted recycling

The development of a nanographite (NG)‐based fluorescent biosensor for detecting microRNA (miRNA) is reported. Duplex‐specific nuclease (DSN)‐assisted signal amplification was key to its function. In the absence of a target, with the assistance of p‐stacking interactions, the NG adsorbed the double carboxyfluorescein (FAM)‐labelled probe (DFP) whose surface was perfectly complementary to miRNA, leading to quenching of FAM fluorescence. In the presence of a target, double‐stranded DNA/RNA hybrids were repelled by the NG and fluorescence was restored. Meanwhile, the considerable increase in signal strength and sensitivity suggests DSN‐mediated target recycling as an application. The detection limit of the proposed biosensor for miRNA was 10 pmol/L; there was a linear correlation when the miRNA concentration ranged from 50 pmol/L to 5 nmol/L. Additionally, the method could distinguish let‐7b from most let‐7 miRNA family members and was successfully used in a sample assay. This biosensor is a novel and highly sensitive tool for miRNA detection and has great potential for biochemical research, disease diagnosis, and therapy.

Ultra‐sensitive fluorescent sensor for intracellular miRNA based on enzyme‐free signal amplification with carbon nitride nanosheet as a carrier

A novel ultra‐sensitive fluorescent sensor for monitoring microRNA (miRNA) in living cells was constructed by utilizing a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as the signal amplification with a carbon nitride nanosheet (CNNS) as a carrier. The Cy5‐labeled hairpin DNA could be adsorbed onto the surface of CNNS, resulting in fluorescence quenching of Cy5. When treated with complementary miRNA, the fluorescence was recovered because miRNA could efficiently trigger an HCR, which led to the release of the HCR products from the CNNS. This intracellular HCR strategy can be used for ultra‐sensitive monitoring of intracellular miRNA. The main advantages of the proposed method are its simplicity, high sensitivity, high specificity and low toxicity for monitoring low‐level biomarkers.
