ABSTRACT
Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is one of the main causes of death in patients with diabetes. Cystatin C (Cys C) is a reliable indicator of glomerular filtration function. Therefore, it is urgent and meaningful to obtain early warning of DN by noninvasive measurement of Cys C. In this investigation, a novel fluorescence sensor (BSA-AIEgen sensor) was synthesized by cross-linking the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(4-(4-(diphenylamino) styryl) phenyl) fumaronitrile (TPABDFN) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), which exhibited the "On" state owing to the restriction of the intramolecular motions (RIM) phenomenon of TPABDFN. Intriguingly, a decrease in fluorescence of BSA-AIEgen sensors could be found owing to BSA on the surface of BSA-AIEgen sensor hydrolyzed by papain, but a reverse phenomenon emerged with the increase of Cys C content as the inhibitor of papain. Hence, Cys C was successfully detected by employing the fluorescent differential display and the linear range was from 12.5 ng/mL to 800 ng/mL (R2 = 0.994) with the limit of detection (LOD) of 7.10 ng/mL (S/N = 3). Further, the developed BSA-AIEgen sensor successfully differentiates patients with diabetes nephropathy from volunteers with the advantages of high specificity, low cost, and simple operation. Accordingly, it is expected to become a non-immunized method to monitor Cys C for the early warning, noninvasive diagnosis, and drug efficacy evaluation of diabetes nephropathy.
