Technical Field

Background
Soluble CD146 (sCD 146) is closely related to the development of cancer, and has an important role in early diagnosis and treatment of cancer as a molecular marker. The advantages of the photoelectrochemistry biosensor for detecting the molecular marker are concerned, but most of the reported sensors are constructed based on a unidirectional signal response strategy, are not beneficial to eliminating the adverse effects of interferents in an actual sample on the detection anti-interference capability and sensitivity, may have false positive or false negative errors, and seriously limit the application and development of the sensors in the sCD146 analysis and detection.
The advantages of the signal inversion type photoelectrochemical biosensor having high selectivity and high sensitivity have recently been developed and popularized. The photocurrent direction reversal is used as an emerging signal response strategy, and the signal reversal mechanism and application research thereof still need to be further researched. As a core element of a photocurrent direction reversal system, a photoelectric active material directly affects the reversal efficiency, and two photoelectric active materials in the conventional reversal system usually require biological elements (such as antibodies, nucleic acids, and polypeptides) to be connected without direct contact, so that an electron transfer path is increased, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is reduced. Meanwhile, the overturning systems constructed on the basis of cadmium sulfide, cadmium telluride, copper oxide and the like also limit the practical application of the overturning systems due to toxicity or poor light stability. Therefore, it is a significant research effort to develop a novel photocurrent direction reversal sensing platform with high performance.

Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, a signal inversion type photoelectrochemical biosensor for detecting cancer markers according to an embodiment of the present invention is mainly prepared by steps including preparing an ito/titania electrode, preparing an ito/titania/single-stranded auxiliary probe electrode, and preparing a conjugate Ab1-Fe3O4@ Au-DNA preparation of conjugate Ab2AuNPs-DNA, constructing an intermediate probe, preparing a sensor and the like.
First, prepare indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode
Carbonizing the metal-organic framework material MIL-125 shown in FIG. 2A in a tubular furnace at 380 ℃ for 4 h to obtain a titanium dioxide polyhedron shown in FIG. 2B; dispersing the titanium dioxide polyhedron in ultrapure water to prepare a titanium dioxide polyhedron suspension with the concentration of 1 mg/mL; and dripping 25 mu L of the titanium dioxide polyhedral suspension liquid with the concentration of 1 mg/mL on a cleaned indium tin oxide working electrode to prepare the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode.
As can be seen from FIG. 2A, the MIL-125 polyhedron has a pie-like structure with an average dimension of about 600 nm and a depth of about 280 nm. After carbonizing it in air, the titanium dioxide polyhedrons shown in fig. 2B were obtained and maintained similar morphologies, but the average size of the titanium dioxide polyhedrons was reduced. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern shown in figure 2C further confirms the successful preparation of the titanium dioxide polyhedra. As can be seen from fig. 2C, curve a shows all diffraction peaks of MIL-125 polyhedron; after carbonization, the diffraction peak of the MIL-125 polyhedron completely disappears, as shown by the curve b, and corresponds to the crystal face of the anatase phase structure (JCPDS No. 73-1764) of the titanium dioxide, which indicates that the anatase type titanium dioxide is successfully synthesized.
And analyzing the element composition and chemical state of the titanium dioxide polyhedron by adopting X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As can be derived from FIG. 2D, the titanium 2p spectrum is attributed to titanium (IV) and titanium 2p3/2And Ti 2p1/2Wherein the binding energies are 458.8 and 464.7 eV, respectively. The O1 s spectrum shown in fig. 2E can be deconvoluted into three peaks at 530.02, 531.4 and 532.8 eV, corresponding to the metal oxide Ti-O, the fraction C = O or C-O and-O-H, respectively. Indicating the presence of a Ti-O-C bond and a-COOH group. In order to further explore the specific surface area and the porous structure of the titanium dioxide polyhedron, nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherm tests were performed, and the result is shown in fig. 2E and 2F, where the BET specific surface area of the titanium dioxide polyhedron was calculated to be 102.3 m2/g。
In addition, the BJH pore size distribution curve in the inset of FIG. 2F shows that the average pore size of the titanium dioxide polyhedron is 5.1 nm, which is beneficial to the rapid mass transfer and adsorption of small molecules. The titanium dioxide polyhedron with high specific surface area and porous structure may have good photoelectrochemical properties and can provide enough active sites. Fig. 2H shows the uv-vis-nir absorption spectrum of the titanium dioxide polyhedra, with the maximum absorption band of the titanium dioxide polyhedra occurring at approximately 580 nm, significantly red-shifted compared to conventional titanium dioxide nanomaterials (380 nm), approximately due to their porous structure. The visible absorption of the titanium dioxide polyhedron is obviously enhanced, and the absorption range is wide, which shows that the titanium dioxide polyhedron is suitable for being used as a photoelectric active material under the irradiation of visible light (the wavelength is more than 420 nm), and is beneficial to the construction of a photoelectrochemical biosensor.
Secondly, preparing indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe electrode

Finally, the unbound nucleic acid chains and antibodies were removed by centrifugation at 15000 rpm for 30 min at 4 ℃ and Ab was obtained by dispersing in 1% BSA-containing PBS buffer (1% BSA and 1% PEG 20000-containing PBS buffer)2-AuNPs-DNA conjugate solution and stored at 4 ℃ protected from light.

In addition, fig. 3C further characterizes the uv-vis spectrum of the carbon nitride quantum dot, and it is observed that the carbon nitride quantum dot has a distinct absorption peak at 345 nm and a shoulder peak around 445 nm, which is basically consistent with the existing literature report.
Further, as can be seen from Zeta potential analysis fig. 3D: the surface of the titanium dioxide polyhedron is positively charged, and the potential is about +23.3 mV; the carbon nitride quantum dots are negatively charged and have a voltage of about-19.5 mV; thus, the titanium dioxide polyhedron and the carbon nitride quantum dots can be combined through electrostatic adsorption.
5.2 the step of preparing the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-stranded auxiliary probe/middle probe electrode comprises the following steps: and dripping the supernatant containing the intermediate probe for the target-induced three-dimensional double-support DNA walker circulating signal amplification reaction onto the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe electrode, incubating for 90 min at room temperature to ensure that the intermediate probe is specifically combined with the single-chain auxiliary DNA probe on the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe electrode, so that the single-chain auxiliary DNA probe is released from the titanium dioxide polyhedron to expose the active site on the titanium dioxide polyhedron, and obtaining the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe/intermediate probe electrode with the titanium dioxide polyhedron active site.
5.3 the step of preparing the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe/middle probe/carbon nitride quantum dot composite electrode comprises the following steps: cleaning the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe/middle probe electrode; diluting the carbon nitride quantum dot solution prepared by the microwave one-step method by 10 times to obtain a diluted carbon nitride quantum dot solution; and (3) dripping 20 mu L of the diluted carbon nitride quantum dot solution on the cleaned indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe/middle probe electrode, adsorbing and incubating for 60 min at room temperature, so that the carbon nitride quantum dots are modified on the surface of the titanium dioxide polyhedron through the porous structure of the titanium dioxide polyhedron and the electrostatic adsorption effect, and forming an indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe/middle probe/carbon nitride quantum dot composite electrode, thereby preparing the direct contact type signal inversion sensor.
(1) Mechanism research of direct contact type signal turnover sensor
1) Test condition and method for detecting photocurrent signal
Respectively and directly dripping the prepared titanium dioxide polyhedron and carbon nitride quantum dot solution on an indium tin oxide electrode, and drying overnight to obtain an indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode and an indium tin oxide/carbon nitride quantum dot electrode; and in addition, dropwise adding the carbon nitride quantum dot solution on the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode, and incubating for 30-120 min to obtain the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/carbon nitride quantum dot composite electrode. And then, by utilizing a three-electrode system of an electrochemical workstation, the prepared electrode is placed in a Tril-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.4 and 0.1M) containing 0.1M ascorbic acid to test an i-t curve to obtain a photocurrent signal. The results are shown in FIG. 4A.
As can be seen in fig. 4A: the anode photocurrent signal of the ito/titania electrode is 2.124 μ a in curve a, and the relatively weak anode photocurrent signal is shown in curve b. From curve c it can be seen that: after the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode is incubated with the carbon nitride quantum dot, the formed indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/carbon nitride quantum dot composite modified electrode not only generates a relatively large cathode photocurrent-3.579 muA, but also has a direction opposite to that of the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode photocurrent shown by a curve a. Therefore, when the carbon nitride electronic point is directly contacted with the titanium dioxide polyhedron, the carbon nitride electronic point can be used as a signal turning agent to realize the conversion of the photocurrent direction.
2) The method comprises the steps of respectively placing the prepared indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode, indium tin oxide/carbon nitride quantum dot electrode and indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/carbon nitride quantum dot electrode in Tril-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.4, 0.1M) Na by utilizing an electrochemical workstation three-electrode system2SO4The impedance-voltage curve was tested in solution (pH 6.8, 0.2M) and then converted to a Mott-Schottky curve. The results are shown in FIGS. 4B to 4D.
As can be seen in fig. 4B and 4C: the ito/cntr electron dot electrode and ito/titania electrode both exhibit positive slopes, corresponding to n-type semiconductor characteristics, while the ito/titania/cntr quantum dot composite electrode exhibits negative slopes, corresponding to p-type semiconductor, consistent with the photocurrent signal study shown in fig. 4A.
3) According to the testing conditions and the method corresponding to the Tauc diagram, a DS5 ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (DS 5, UK) is used for testing ultraviolet-visible spectrums of the titanium dioxide polyhedral solution and the carbon nitride quantum dot solution respectively, and then the Tauc diagram is obtained through conversion. The results are shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F.
Referring to fig. 4E, the synthesized titanium dioxide polyhedron has a forbidden band of 2.52 eV, and its conduction band and valence band are-0.73V and 1.79V, respectively, relative to the common hydrogen electrode (NHE). From fig. 4F, it is shown that the carbon nitride quantum dot has a forbidden band of 2.55 eV, and its conduction band and valence band are-0.18V and 2.37V, respectively, relative to the ordinary hydrogen electrode NHE.
Therefore, it can be derived from fig. 4 that the mechanism of the photocurrent direction reversal of the present invention is: under visible light (wavelength greater than 420 nm) irradiation, the titanium dioxide polyhedron is excited, and photo-generated electrons/holes are respectively formed on a conduction band/a valence band. Then, the photo-generated electrons are transferred from the conduction band-0.73V of the titanium dioxide polyhedron to the indium tin oxide electrode, meanwhile, the oxidation potential of ascorbic acid serving as an electron donor is 0.15V, the ascorbic acid is positioned between the conduction band and the valence band of the titanium dioxide and can be oxidized by photo-generated holes of the titanium dioxide, so that more photo-generated electrons occupy the conduction band of the titanium dioxide polyhedron and are transferred to the indium tin oxide electrode, and a larger anode photocurrent is generated.
When the titanium dioxide polyhedron is decorated on the indium tin oxide electrode by the carbon nitride quantum adsorption to form the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/carbon nitride quantum dot composite decoration electrode, the titanium dioxide polyhedron and the carbon nitride quantum dot are easy to be excited, and corresponding photo-generated electrons/holes are respectively formed on a conduction band/a valence band, based on the energy level matching, the photo-generated electrons of the titanium dioxide polyhedron conduction band of-0.73V are transferred to the conduction band of-0.18V of the carbon nitride quantum for electrochemically reducing oxygen in the electrolyte, wherein the reduction potential of-0.046V of oxygen is taken as an electron acceptor; the photogenerated holes of the valence band 2.37V of the carbon nitride quantum dot are transferred to the conduction band 1.79V of the titanium dioxide polyhedron. In addition, some of the photo-generated electrons accompanying the conduction band of the carbon nitride quantum dots return to the valence band, resulting in recombination of photo-generated electron/hole pairs. In the process, the ascorbic acid effectively oxidizes and removes holes on a conduction band, inhibits the recombination of photogenerated electrons/hole pairs, and promotes the transfer of photogenerated electrons, so that the cathode photocurrent of the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/carbon nitride quantum dot composite modified electrode is enhanced. Therefore, based on the excellent matching horizontal energy band between the carbon nitride quantum dot and the titanium dioxide polyhedron, a titanium dioxide polyhedron// carbon nitride quantum dot photocurrent direction reversal system is formed, and the carbon nitride quantum dot can promote the separation and transfer of photo-generated electrons/holes of the titanium dioxide polyhedron and induce the photocurrent direction reversal of the titanium dioxide polyhedron.
(2) Characterization of photoelectrochemical biosensors
The test conditions are as follows: under a bias of-0.2V, the ITO/Titania electrode, ITO/Titania/SSB/ISB electrode, ITO/Titania/SSB/ISB/NSB electrode used in the examples of the present invention were placed in a Tril-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.4, 0.1M) containing 0.1M ascorbic acid for photoelectrochemical test, and placed in a 5 mM (1:1) [ Fe (CN)6]3-/4-Impedance measurements were performed in a solution containing 0.1M KCl with a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 100 kHz and an amplitude of 5 mV. The test results are shown in fig. 5.
The photocurrent decayed with increasing illumination time due to the consumption of ascorbic acid. Therefore, the present invention displays the photoelectrochemical test results by using the maximum photocurrent values generated by the different modified electrodes. As can be seen in fig. 5A: the ito/titania electrode shown in curve a has a significant anode photocurrent of 2.124 pa. Curve b shows that the photocurrent of the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe electrode modified by the single-chain auxiliary DNA probe is reduced, and the value is 1.010 μ a, because the single-chain auxiliary DNA probe adsorbed on the surface of the electrode has poor conductivity, the generation of photo-generated electrons is hindered, and thus the anode photocurrent signal is reduced.
Curve c shows: when the single-stranded auxiliary DNA probe and the intermediate probe are combined to form a double strand, the content of the single-stranded auxiliary DNA probe on the surface of the electrode is reduced, so that the anode photocurrent signal part of the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-stranded auxiliary probe/intermediate probe electrode is recovered (1.304 muA). Curve d shows: after the carbon nitride quantum dot solution is dripped for incubation, due to the introduction of the carbon nitride quantum dots and the energy level relationship between the titanium dioxide polyhedron and the carbon nitride quantum dots, the polarity of a photoelectric signal is converted, so that the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe/middle probe/carbon nitride quantum dot composite electrode forms a larger cathode photocurrent-2.987 muA.
As can be seen from fig. 5B: curve a shows oxidationOf indium-tin/titanium dioxide electrodesR ctA value of 35.73 Ω; due to the poor conductivity of the nucleic acid strands, the immobilization of the single-stranded helper DNA probe on the ITO/Titania electrode surface effectively hindered [ Fe (CN)6]3−/4−The electron transfer process between the ion and the electrode leads to an increased resistance to charge transfer, so curve b shows that of the ITO/Titania/single-stranded helper probe electrodeR ctA value of 69.86 Ω; when the ITO/Titania/single-stranded auxiliary probe electrode is incubated with the nucleic acid chain intermediate probe released by the enzyme digestion, the single-stranded auxiliary probe and the intermediate probe form a double strand due to the base pairing relationship and are then washed away, so that curve c shows that a reduced amount of ITO/Titania/single-stranded auxiliary probe/intermediate probe electrode is obtainedR ctA value of 62.24 Ω; when the ITO/Titania/single-chain auxiliary probe/middle probe electrode is immersed in the carbon nitride quantum dot solution for incubation, the active sites on the titanium dioxide polyhedron are released after the single-chain auxiliary probe on the electrode is combined with the middle probe, so that the carbon nitride quantum dot can be directly fixed on the electrode by utilizing the aperture and electrostatic adsorption of the titanium dioxide polyhedron to promote the transfer of electrons, and therefore, the curve d shows that the ITO/Titania/single-chain auxiliary probe/middle probe/carbon nitride quantum dot electrode obtains a reduced oneR ctThe value is 55.88 omega. Each modified electrodeR ctThe expected change in value is substantially consistent with the results of the study shown in fig. 5A, indicating that a photoelectrochemical biosensor for detecting a cancer marker has been successfully prepared.
The signal reversal type photoelectrochemical biosensor for detecting the cancer marker provided by the embodiment of the invention has two main factors influencing the photocurrent signal: one is the adsorption time of the single-chain auxiliary probe in the step of preparing the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-chain auxiliary probe electrode, and the other is the adsorption time of the carbon nitride quantum dot in the preparation process of the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/carbon nitride quantum dot electrode in the step of preparing the sensor. These two factors are further analyzed below.
Effect of Single-Strand helper Probe adsorption time
The experimental conditions are as follows: basically, the method provided by the first embodiment above is used to prepare corresponding sensors according to different adsorption times of the single-stranded auxiliary probes, wherein in the step of "preparing indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-stranded auxiliary probe electrode", the adsorption times of the single-stranded auxiliary probes are respectively 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min, and in the step of "preparing a sensor", the adsorption time of the carbon nitride quantum dots is 60 min, and other steps are the same as those in the first embodiment. The photoelectrochemical test was carried out using the prepared sensor described above with reference to the experimental conditions of the aforementioned section "(2) characterization of photoelectrochemical biosensor", and the test results are shown in fig. 6.
As can be seen in fig. 6: when the adsorption time of the single-stranded auxiliary DNA probe is 0-90 min, the photoelectric response of the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-stranded auxiliary probe electrode is gradually weakened, which is probably because the longer the adsorption reaction time of the single-stranded auxiliary DNA probe is, the more the single-stranded auxiliary DNA probes are fixed on the electrode, so that the resistance to the generation and transfer of the photo-generated electron-hole on the titanium dioxide polyhedron is enhanced, but experiments show that the trend of the photoelectric response weakening gradually becomes gentle after the adsorption time exceeds 90 min, which indicates that the quantity of the single-stranded auxiliary probes fixable on the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/single-stranded auxiliary probe electrode is basically saturated, and therefore, 90 min is preferably used as the adsorption reaction time of the single-stranded auxiliary DNA probe on the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode.
Influence of adsorption time of carbon nitride quantum dots
The experimental conditions are as follows: the adsorption time of the carbon nitride quantum dots in the step of preparing the sensor is 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min. The experimental set-up is shown in figure 7.
As can be seen in fig. 7: when the adsorption time of the carbon nitride quantum dots is 0-60 min, the cathode photocurrent generated by the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide/carbon nitride quantum dot composite electrode is increased along with the extension of the adsorption time of the carbon nitride quantum dots, and the current response change almost tends to be smooth after 60 min. Therefore, 60 min is preferred as the optimal adsorption time of the carbon nitride quantum dots on the indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide electrode.
