RESUMEN
Wearable sensors, specifically microneedle sensors based on electrochemical methods, have expanded extensively with recent technological advances. Today's wearable electrochemical sensors present specific challenges: they show significant modulus disparities with skin tissue, implying possible discomfort in vivo, especially over extended wear periods or on sensitive skin areas. The sensors, primarily based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyimide (PI) substrates, might also cause pressure or unease during insertion due to the skin's irregular deformation. To address these constraints, we developed an innovative, wearable, all-fiber-structured electrochemical sensor. Our composite sensor incorporates polyurethane (PU) fibers prepared via electrospinning as electrode substrates to achieve excellent adaptability. Electrospun PU nanofiber films with gold layers shaped via thermal evaporation are used as base electrodes with exemplary conductivity and electrochemical catalytic attributes. To achieve glucose monitoring, gold nanofibers functionalized by gold nanoflakes (AuNFs) and glucose oxidase (GOx) serve as the working electrode, while Pt nanofibers and Ag/AgCl nanofibers serve as the counter and reference electrode. The acrylamide-sodium alginate double-network hydrogel synthesized on electrospun PU fibers serves as the adhesive and substance-transferring layer between the electrodes. The all-fiber electrochemical sensor is assembled layer-by-layer to form a robust structure. Given the stretchability of PU nanofibers coupled with a high specific surface area, the manufactured porous microneedle glucose sensor exhibits enhanced stretchability, superior sensitivity at 31.94 µA (lg(mM))-1 cm-2, a broad detection range (1-30 mM), and a significantly low detection limit (1 mM, S/N = 3), as well as satisfactory biocompatibility. Therefore, the novel electrochemical microneedle design is well-suited for wearable or even implantable continuous monitoring applications, thereby showing promising significant potential within the global arena of wearable medical technology.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has been extensively studied as a new type of non-invasive treatment for mammary cancer. However, the poor water solubility and defective biocompatibility of sonosensitizers during SDT hinder the sonodynamic efficacy. Herein, a nanoplatform has been developed to achieve high efficient SDT against mammary cancer through the host-guest interaction of ß-cyclodextrin/5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (ß-CD-TPP) and ferrocenecarboxylic acid/chitooligosaccharides (FC-COS). Moreover, the glucose oxidase (GOx) was loaded through electrostatic adsorption, which efficiently restricts the energy supply in tumor tissues, thus enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of SDT for tumors. Under optimal conditions, the entire system exhibited favorable water solubility, suitable particle size and viable biocompatibility. This facilitated the integration of the characteristics of starvation therapy and sonodynamic therapy, resulting in efficient inhibition of tumor growth with minimal side effects in vivo. This work may provide new insights into the application of natural oligosaccharides for construct multifunctional nanocarrier systems, which could optimize the design and development of sonodynamic therapy strategies and even combination therapy strategies.

Gas cluster ion beam (GCIB)-assisted deposition is used to build multilayered protein-based structures. In this process, Ar3000-5000+ clusters bombard and sputter molecules from a reservoir (target) to a collector, an operation that can be sequentially repeated with multiple targets. The process occurs under a vacuum, making it adequate for further sample conservation in the dry state, since many proteins do not have long-term storage stability in the aqueous state. First of all, the stability in time and versatility in terms of molecule selection are demonstrated with the fabrication of peptide multilayers featuring a clear separation. Then, lysozyme and trypsin are used as protein models to show that the activity remaining on the collector after deposition is linearly proportional to the argon ion dose. The energy per atom (E/n) of the Ar clusters is a parameter that was also changed for lysozyme deposition, and its increase negatively affects activity. The intact detection of larger protein molecules by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and a bioassay (trypsin at ≈25 kDa and glucose oxidase (GOx) at ≈80 kDa) is demonstrated. Finally, GOx and horseradish peroxidase, two proteins involved in the same enzymatic cascade, are successively deposited on ß-d-glucose to build an on-demand release material in which the enzymes and the substrate (ß-d-glucose) are combined in a dry trilayer, and the reaction occurs only upon reintroduction in aqueous medium.

Background: With the rapid development of nanotechnology, constructing a multifunctional nanoplatform that can deliver various therapeutic agents in different departments and respond to endogenous/exogenous stimuli for multimodal synergistic cancer therapy remains a major challenge to address the inherent limitations of chemotherapy. Methods: Herein, we synthesized hollow mesoporous Prussian Blue@zinc phosphate nanoparticles to load glucose oxidase (GOx) and DOX (designed as HMPB-GOx@ZnP-DOX NPs) in the non-identical pore structures of their HMPB core and ZnP shell, respectively, for photothermally augmented chemo-starvation therapy. Results: The ZnP shell coated on the HMPB core, in addition to providing space to load DOX for chemotherapy, could also serve as a gatekeeper to protect GOx from premature leakage and inactivation before reaching the tumor site because of its degradation characteristics under mild acidic conditions. Moreover, the loaded GOx can initiate starvation therapy by catalyzing glucose oxidation while causing an upgradation of acidity and H2O2 levels, which can also be used as forceful endogenous stimuli to trigger smart delivery systems for therapeutic applications. The decrease in pH can improve the pH-sensitivity of drug release, and O2 can be supplied by decomposing H2O2 through the catalase-like activity of HMPBs, which is beneficial for relieving the adverse conditions of anti-tumor activity. In addition, the inner HMPB also acts as a photothermal agent for photothermal therapy and the generated hyperthermia upon laser irradiation can serve as an external stimulus to further promote drug release and enzymatic activities of GOx, thereby enabling a synergetic photothermally enhanced chemo-starvation therapy effect. Importantly, these results indicate that HMPB-GOx@ZnP-DOX NPs can effectively inhibit tumor growth by 80.31% and exhibit no obvious systemic toxicity in mice. Conclusion: HMPB-GOx@ZnP-DOX NPs can be employed as potential theranostic agents that incorporate multiple therapeutic modes to efficiently inhibit tumors.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are favorable hosting materials for fixing enzymes to construct enzyme@MOF composites and to expand the applications of biocatalysts. However, the rigid structure of MOFs without tunable hollow voids and a confinement effect often limits their catalytic activities. Taking advantage of the smart soft polymers to overcome the limitation, herein, a protection protocol to encapsulate the enzyme in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was developed using a glutathione-sensitive liposome (L) as a soft template. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were first anchored on a light- and thermoresponsive porous poly(styrene-maleic anhydride-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-spiropyran) membrane (PSMDSP) to produce PSMDSP@GOx-HRP, which could provide a confinement effect by switching the UV irradiation or varying the temperature. Afterward, embedding PSMDSP@GOx-HRP in L and encapsulating PSMDSP@GOx-HRP@L into hollow ZIF-8 (HZIF-8) to form PSMDSP@GOx-HRP@HZIF-8 composites were performed, which proceeded during the crystallization of the framework following the removal of L by adding glutathione. Impressively, the biocatalytic activity of the composites was 4.45-fold higher than that of the free enzyme under UV irradiation at 47 °C, which could benefit from the confinement effect of PSMDSP and the conformational freedom of the enzyme in HZIF-8. The proposed composites contributed to the protection of the enzyme against harsh conditions and exhibited superior stability. Furthermore, a colorimetric assay based on the composites for the detection of serum glucose was established with a linearity range of 0.05-5.0 mM, and the calculated LOD value was 0.001 mM in a cascade reaction system. This work provides a universal design idea and a versatile technique to immobilize enzymes on soft polymer membranes that can be encapsulated in porous rigid MOF-hosts. It also holds potential for the development of smart polymer@enzyme@HMOFs biocatalysts with a tunable confinement effect and high catalytic performance.

Various applications related to glucose catalysis have led to the development of functional nanozymes with glucose oxidase (GOX)-like activity. However, the unsatisfactory catalytic activity of nanozymes is a major challenge for their practical applications due to their inefficient hydrogen and electron transfer. Herein, we present the synthesis of AuFe/polydopamine (PDA) superparticles that exhibit photothermal-enhanced GOX-like activity. Experimental investigations and theoretical calculations reveal that the glucose oxidation process catalyzed by AuFe/PDA follows an artificial-cofactor-mediated hydrogen atom transfer mechanism, which facilitates the generation of carbon-centered radical intermediates. Rather than depending on charged Au surfaces for thermodynamically unstable hydride transfer, Fe(III)-coordinated PDA with abundant amino and phenolic hydroxyl groups serves as cofactor mimics, facilitating both hydrogen atom and electron transfer in the catalytic process. Finally, leveraging the photothermal-enhanced GOX-like and catalase-like activities of AuFe/PDA, we establish a highly sensitive and accurate point-of-care testing blood glucose determination with exceptional anti-jamming capabilities.

The demand for glucose-sensing devices has increased along with the increasing diabetic population. Here, we aimed to construct a system with a glucose oxidase (GOx)-integrated Cu-nanoflower (Cu-NF) as the underlying electrode. This novel system was successfully developed by creating a cross-linked GOx within a Cu-NF matrix, forming a c-GOx@Cu-NF-coated film on a carbon screen-printed electrode (CSPE). A comparison of the stabilities of the cross-linking methods demonstrated enhanced durability, with an activity level of >88 % maintained after approximately 35 days of storage in room temperature buffer. Regarding the ability of the c-GOx@Cu-NF modified CSPE to detect glucose via electrochemical methods, the redox potential gap (ΔE) and peak current increased in the presence of GOx. In comparison to that of glucose, the sensitivity of c-GOx@Cu-NF was approximately 8 times greater than that of GOx@Cu-NF, with a detection limit of 0.649 µM and a linear range of 5-500 µM. It sustained an average relative activity of 80 % over 20 days. After 10 cycles of repeated use, the activity remained above 75 %. In terms of evaluating the electrode's specificity for glucose, the detection rate for individual similar substances was approximately 1 %. The introduction of a crosslinking strategy to Cu-NF, leading to enhanced mechanical stability and conductivity, improved the detection capability. Furthermore, this approach led to increased long-term storage stability and reusability, allowing for specific glucose detection. To our knowledge, this report represents the first demonstration of a c-GOx@Cu-NF system for integrating electrochemical biosensing devices into digital healthcare pathways, offering enhanced sensing accuracy and mechanical stability.

An intelligent nanodrug delivery system (Cu/ZIF-8@GOx-DOX@HA, hereafter CZGDH) consisting of Cu-doped zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (Cu/ZIF-8, hereafter CZ), glucose oxidase (GOx), doxorubicin (DOX), and hyaluronic acid (HA) was established for targeted drug delivery and synergistic therapy of tumors. The CZGDH specifically entered tumor cells through the targeting effect of HA and exhibited acidity-triggered biodegradation for subsequent release of GOx, DOX, and Cu2+ in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The GOx oxidized the glucose (Glu) in tumor cells to produce H2O2 and gluconic acid for starvation therapy (ST). The DOX entered the intratumoral cell nucleus for chemotherapy (CT). The released Cu2+ consumed the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells to produce Cu+. The generated Cu+ and H2O2 triggered the Fenton-like reaction to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which disrupted the redox balance of tumor cells and effectively killed tumor cells for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Therefore, synergistic multimodal tumor treatment via TME-activated cascade reaction was achieved. The nanodrug delivery system has a high drug loading rate (48.3 wt%), and the three-mode synergistic therapy has a strong killing effect on tumor cells (67.45%).

A novel biofuel cell (BFC)-based self-powered electrochemical immunosensing platform was developed by integrating the target-induced biofuel release and biogate immunoassay for ultrasensitive 17ß-estradiol (E2) detection. The carbon nanocages/gold nanoparticle composite was employed in the BFCs device as the electrode material, through which bilirubin oxidase and glucose oxidase were wired to form the biocathode and bioanode, respectively. Positively charged mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PMSN) were encapsulated with glucose molecules as biofuel and subsequently coated by the negatively charged AuNPs-labelled anti-E2 antibody (AuNPs-Ab) serving as a biogate. The biogate could be opened efficiently and the trapped glucose released once the target E2 was recognized and captured by AuNPs-Ab due to the decreased adhesion between the antigen-antibody complex and PMSN. Then, glucose oxidase oxidized the glucose to produce a large number of electrons, resulting in significantly increased open-circuit voltage (EOCV). Promisingly, the proposed BFC-based self-powered immunosensor demonstrated exceptional sensitivity for the detection of E2 in the concentration range from 1.0 pg mL-1 to 10.0 ng mL -1, with a detection limit of 0.32 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the prepared BFC-based self-powered homogeneous immunosensor showed significant potential for implementation as a viable prototype for a mobile and an on-site bioassay system in food and environmental safety applications.

BACKGROUND: With the advent of personalized medical approaches, precise and tailored treatments are expected to become widely accepted for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Paper-based colorimetric sensors that function in combination with smartphones have been rapidly developed in recent years because it does not require additional equipment and is inexpensive and easy to perform. In this study, we developed a portable, low-cost, and wearable sweat-glucose detection device for in situ detection. RESULTS: The sensor adopted an integrated biomimetic nanoenzyme of glucose oxidase (GOx) encapsulated in copper 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate (CuBDC) (GOx@CuBDC) through a biomimetic mineralization process. CuBDC exhibited a peroxide-like effect, cascade catalytic effect with the encapsulated GOx, and increased the enzyme stability. GOx@CuBDC and 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine were combined to form a hybrid membrane that achieved single-step paper-based glucose detection. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY: This GOx@CuBDC-based colorimetric glucose sensor was used to quantitatively analyze the sweat-glucose concentration with smartphone readings. The sensor exhibited a good linear relationship over the concentration range of 40-900 µM and a limit of detection of 20.7 µM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the sensor performed well in situ monitoring and in evaluating variations based on the consumption of foods with different glycemic indices. Therefore, the fabricated wearable sweat-glucose sensors exhibited optimal practical application performance.

Controlling glucose (Glu) intake is a "required course" for diabetics, thus quickly and precisely measuring the amount of Glu in food is crucial. For this purpose, a novel smartphone-assisted portable swab for the dual-mode visual detection of Glu was constructed combined the selectivity of natural enzymes with the controllable catalytic activity of nanozymes. Glu was specifically decomposed by glucose oxidase (natural enzyme) to produce H2O2, which was catalyzed by carbon dots (FeMn/N-CDs, nanozyme) to accelerate the reaction of o-phenylenediamine (OPD, colorless) to produce 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP, yellow). As a result, the absorbance at 450 nm gradually increased with the increasing concentration of Glu, leading to a color change in the system from colorless to yellow. Meanwhile, the fluorescence of FeMn/N-CDs gradually decreased at 450 nm, while the fluorescence of DAP gradually increased at 550 nm, allowing for both ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode detection. Furthermore, natural enzyme and nanozyme together with OPD were co-loaded on the swabs to achieve cascade catalysis of Glu. The assembled portable swabs have detection ranges of 1-600 µM (LOD = 0.37 µM) and 4-1200 µM (LOD = 1.19 µM) for the colorimetric and fluorometric detection, respectively. The field test results on real samples demonstrated that the portable swabs have great promise for use in efficiently and accurately guiding the dietary intake of diabetics.

A major shortcoming associated with the application of enzymes in drug synergism originates from the lack of site-specific, multifunctional nanomedicine. This study introduces catalytic nanocompartments (CNCs) made of a mixture of PDMS-b-PMOXA diblock copolymers, decorated with glycooligomer tethers comprising eight mannose-containing repeating units and coencapsulating two enzymes, providing multifunctionality by their in situ parallel reactions. Beta-glucuronidase (GUS) serves for local reactivation of the drug hymecromone, while glucose oxidase (GOx) induces cell starvation through glucose depletion and generation of the cytotoxic H2O2. The insertion of the pore-forming peptide, melittin, facilitates diffusion of substrates and products through the membranes. Increased cell-specific internalization of the CNCs results in a substantial decrease in HepG2 cell viability after 24 h, attributed to simultaneous production of hymecromone and H2O2. Such parallel enzymatic reactions taking place in nanocompartments pave the way to achieve efficient combinatorial cancer therapy by enabling localized drug production along with reactive oxygen species (ROS) elevation.

Surface chemistry of carriers plays a key role in enzyme loading capacity, structure rigidity, and thus catalyze activity of immobilized enzymes. In this work, the two model enzymes of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (GOx) are co-immobilized on the lysozyme functionalized magnetic core-shell nanocomposites (LYZ@MCSNCs) to enhance their stability and activity. Briefly, the HRP and GOx aggregates are firstly formed under the crosslinker of trimesic acid, in which the loading amount and the rigidity of the enzyme can be further increased. Additionally, LYZ easily forms a robust anti-biofouling nanofilm on the surface of SiO2@Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with abundant functional groups, which facilitate chemical crosslinking of HRP and GOx aggregates with minimized inactivation. The immobilized enzyme of HRP-GOx@LYZ@MCSNCs exhibited excellent recovery activity (95.6 %) higher than that of the free enzyme (HRP&GOx). Specifically, 85 % of relative activity was retained after seven cycles, while 73.5 % of initial activity was also remained after storage for 33 days at 4 °C. The thermal stability and pH adaptability of HRP-GOx@LYZ@MCSNCs were better than those of free enzyme of HRP&GOx. This study provides a mild and ecofriendly strategy for multienzyme co-immobilization based on LYZ functionalized magnetic nanoparticles using HRP and GOx as model enzymes.

In recent years, the exceptional biocatalytic properties of glucose oxidase (GOx) have spurred the development of various GOx-functionalized nanocatalysts for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Carbon dots, renowned for their excellent biocompatibility and distinctive fluorescence properties, effectively incorporate GOx. Given the paramount importance of GOx's enzymatic activity in therapeutic efficacy, this study conducts a thorough exploration of the molecular-level binding dynamics between GOx and near-infrared carbon dots (NIR-CDs). Utilizing various spectrometric and molecular simulation techniques, we reveal that NIR-CDs form a ground-state complex with GOx primarily via hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, interacting directly with amino acid residues in GOx's active site. This binding leads to conformational change and reduces thermal stability of GOx, slightly inhibiting its enzymatic activity and demonstrating a competitive inhibition effect. In vitro experiments demonstrate that NIR-CDs attenuate the GOx's capacity to produce H2O2 in HeLa cells, mitigating enzyme-induced cytotoxicity and cellular damage. This comprehensive elucidation of the intricate binding mechanisms between NIR-CDs and GOx provides critical insights for the design of NIR-CD-based nanotherapeutic platforms to augment cancer therapy. Such advancements lay the groundwork for innovative and efficacious cancer treatment strategies.

This study presents a modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to determine glucose in a custom-built flow injection system. The biosensor was constructed by immobilizing glucose oxidase on porous platinum nanoparticles decorated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (GOx@PPtNPs@MWCTNs). The fabrication of the biosensor was completed by coating the GOx@PPtNPs@MWCTNs nanocomposite on an SPCE modified with a nanocomposite of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and Prussian blue (GOx@PPtNPs@MWCTNs/PEDOT@PB/SPCE). The fabricated electrode accurately measured hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the byproduct of the GOx-catalyzed oxidation of glucose, and was then applied as a glucose biosensor. The glucose response was amperometrically determined from the PB-mediated reduction of H2O2 at an applied potential of -0.10 V in a flow injection system. Under optimal conditions, the developed biosensor produced a linear range from 2.50 µM to 1.250 mM, a limit of detection of 2.50 µM, operational stability over 500 sample injections, and good selectivity. The proposed biosensor determined glucose in human plasma samples, achieving recoveries and results that agreed with the hexokinase-spectrophotometric method (P > 0.05). Combining the proposed biosensor with the custom-built sample feed, a portable potentiostat and a smartphone, enabled on-site glucose monitoring.

Stable detection of diazinon (DZN) residues in vegetables is important for food safety. In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor with dual-catalytic glucose in-situ production of H2O2 was constructed for the stable detection of DZN in vegetables. Firstly, MWCNTs@MB was prepared using π-π stacking interactions between methylene blue (MB) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to enhance the loading of MB on an electrode and thus catalyze the generation of H2O2 from glucose. Secondly, Cu2O@AuNPs was formed by loading AuNPs on the surface of Cu2O through spontaneous reduction reaction, which improved the interfacial charge transfer, Cu2O nano-enzyme had glucose oxidase mimicking activity and could further catalyze the production of more H2O2 from glucose. MWCNTs@MB and Cu2O@AuNPs played a key role in the in-situ generation of co-reacting reagent H2O2, which solved the problem of unstable detection caused by the easy decomposition of the H2O2 solution added to the luminescence system. In addition, the aptamer was immobilized on the electrode surface by forming Au-S bonds with Cu2O@AuNPs. As a result, the ECL aptasensor performed good linearity in 1.00 pg mL-1-1.00 µg mL-1 and a low limit of detection (LOD) to 0.39 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). This work provided an effective method for the accurate and stable detection of DZN residues in vegetables, which was of great significance in ensuring food safety and assessing the environmental risk of DZN.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria-infected wound healing remains greatly challenging, especially in diabetic patients. Herein, a novel nano-drug delivery based on endogenous glucose-driven cascade reaction is proposed for boosting MDR bacteria-infected diabetic wound healing with high efficacy by improving wound microenvironment and enhancing photodynamic antibacterial activity. The composite nanoagent is first self-assembled by integrating berberine (BBR) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from natural plant extracts, named as BENPs, which is successively coated with manganese dioxide nanoshells (MnO2 NSs) and glucose oxidase (GOX) to form the final BEMGNPs. The cascade reaction is triggered by glucose at the wound site of diabetes which is specifically catalyzed by GOX in the BEMGNPs to produce gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). That is subsequently to decompose MnO2 NSs in the BEMGNPs to generate oxygen (O2). The BEMGNPs as photosensitizers effectively produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to enhance the eradication of bacteria with the assistance of O2. Under the synergistic function of the cascaded reaction, the BEMGNPs present excellent antibacterial efficacy even for MDR bacteria. The in vivo experiments explicitly validate that the constructed nano-drug delivery can augment the MDR bacteria-infected diabetic wound healing with excellent biosafety. The as-proposed strategy provides an instructive way to combat ever-threatening MDR bacteria, which particularly is beneficial for diabetic patients.

Bacteria invasion is the main factor hindering the wound-healing process. However, current antibacterial therapies inevitably face complex challenges, such as the abuse of antibiotics or severe inflammation during treatment. Here, a drug-free bioclay enzyme (Bio-Clayzyme) consisting of Fe2+-tannic acid (TA) network-coated kaolinite nanoclay and glucose oxidase (GOx) was reported to destroy harmful bacteria via bimetal antibacterial therapy. At the wound site, Bio-Clayzyme was found to enhance the generation of toxic hydroxyl radicals for sterilization via cascade catalysis of GOx and Fe2+-mediated peroxidase mimetic activity. Specifically, the acidic characteristics of the infection microenvironment accelerated the release of Al3+ from kaolinite, which further led to bacterial membrane damage and amplified the antibacterial toxicity of Fe2+. Besides, Bio-Clayzyme also performed hemostasis and anti-inflammatory functions inherited from Kaol and TA. By the combination of hemostasis and anti-inflammatory and bimetal synergistic sterilization, Bio-Clayzyme achieves efficient healing of infected wounds, providing a revolutionary approach for infectious wound regeneration.

Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is severely hindered by insufficient intracellular H2O2 level that seriously deteriorates antitumor efficacy, albeit with its extensively experimental and theoretical research. Herein, we designed atomically dispersed FeCo dual active sites anchored in porous carbon polyhedra (termed FeCo/PCP), followed by loading with glucose oxidase (GOx) and anticancer doxorubicin (DOX), named FeCo/PCP-GOx-DOX, which converted glucose into toxic hydroxyl radicals. The loaded GOx can either decompose glucose to self-supply H2O2 or provide fewer nutrients to feed the tumor cells. The as-prepared nanozyme exhibited the enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity at high glucose by contrast with those at less or even free of glucose, suggesting sufficient accumulation of H2O2 and continual transformation to OH for CDT. Besides, the FeCo/PCP-GOx-DOX can subtly integrate starvation therapy, the FeCo/PCP-initiated CDT, and DOX-inducible chemotherapy (CT), greatly enhancing the therapeutic efficacy than each monotherapy.

In this study, we have for the first time constructed a ratiometric ECL biosensor for the ultrasensitive detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) using gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to trigger both the low-potential emission from conjugated polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl) dots (PFO Pdots) and the LSPR-ECL effect with sulfur-doped boron nitride quantum dots (S-BN QDs). PFO Pdots were first applied to the Au NPs-modified electrode, followed by covalent binding to capture the hairpin H1. Immediately thereafter, a small amount of miRNA-141 was able to generate a large amount of output DNA (OP) by traversing the target cycle. OP, H3-S-BN QDs, and H4-glucose oxidase (H4-GOD) were then added sequentially to the Au NPs-modified electrode surface, and the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was initiated. This resulted in the introduction of a large amount of GOD into the system, which catalyzed the in situ formation of the co-reactant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from the substrate glucose. Due to the electron transfer effect, the production of H2O2 led to the ECL quenching of PFO Pdots. Meanwhile, H2O2 served as a co-reactant of S-BN QDs, resulting in strong ECL emission of S-BN QDs at the cathode. Furthermore, the cathodic ECL intensity of S-BN QDs was further enhanced by an LSPR-ECL mechanism between Au NPs and S-BN QDs. By measuring the ratio of ECL intensities at two excitation potentials, this approach could provide sensitive and reliable detection of miRNA-141 in the range of 0.1 fM â¼10 nM, with a detection limit of 0.1 fM.
