ABSTRACT
Protein acetylation, a fundamental post-translational modification, plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression and cellular processes. Monitoring histone deacetylases (HDACs) is important for understanding epigenetic dynamics and advancing the early diagnosis of malignancies. Here, we leverage the dynamic characteristics of DNA-peptide interactions in biomimetic nanochannels to develop a HDAC detection method. In specific, the catalysis of peptide deacetylation by HDACs triggers alterations in the charge states of the nanochannel surface to accommodate DNA molecules. Then, the interaction between DNA and peptides shifts the nanochannel surface charge from positive to negative, leading to a reversal of the ion current rectification (ICR). By calculation of the ICR ratio, quantitative detection of HDACs can be efficiently achieved using the nanochannel-based method in an enzyme-free and label-free manner. Our experimental results demonstrate that HDACs can be detected by using this method within a concentration range of 0.5-500 nM. The innate simplicity and efficiency of this strategy may render it a valuable tool for advancing both fundamental research and clinical applications in the realm of epigenetics and personalized medicine.
