Item TGF‐β‐induced IGFBP‐3 is a key paracrine factor from activated pericytes that promotes colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion(Molecular Oncology, 2020) Navarro, Rocío; Tapia‐Galisteo, Antponio; Martín García, Laura; Tarín, Carlos; Corbacho, Cesáreo; Gómez‐López, Gonzalo; Sánchez Tirado, Esther; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Compte, Marta; Álvarez‐Vallina, Luis; Sanz, LauraThe crosstalk between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment has been implicated in cancer progression and metastasis. Fibroblasts and immune cells are widely known to be attracted to and modified by cancer cells. However, the role of pericytes in the tumor microenvironment beyond endothelium stabilization is poorly understood. Here, we report that pericytes promoted colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation, migration, invasion, stemness, and chemoresistance in vitro, as well as tumor growth in a xenograft CRC model. We demonstrate that coculture with human CRC cells induced broad transcriptomic changes in pericytes, mostly associated with TGF‐β receptor activation. The prognostic value of a TGF‐β response signature in pericytes was analyzed in CRC patient data sets. This signature was found to be a good predictor of CRC relapse. Moreover, in response to stimulation by CRC cells, pericytes expressed high levels of TGF‐β1, initiating an autocrine activation loop. Investigation of secreted mediators and underlying molecular mechanisms revealed that IGFBP‐3 is a key paracrine factor from activated pericytes affecting CRC cell migration and invasion. In summary, we demonstrate that the interplay between pericytes and CRC cells triggers a vicious cycle that stimulates pericyte cytokine secretion, in turn increasing CRC cell tumorigenic properties. Overall, we provide another example of how cancer cells can manipulate the tumor microenvironment.Item Fast and sensitive diagnosis of autoimmune disorders through amperometric biosensing of serum anti-dsDNA autoantibodies(Biosensors & Bioelectronics, 2020) López Ruíz, Beatriz ; Arévalo Pérez, Beatriz; Serafín González-Carrato, Verónica; Sánchez-Paniagua López, Marta; Montero Calle, Ana; Barderas Manchado, Rodrigo; López Ruiz, María Beatriz; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis work reports the first amperometric biosensor involving the use of neutravidin-functionalized magnetic microbeads (NA-MBs) modified with a biotinylated-anti-dsDNA (b-dsDNA) as efficient magnetic microcarriers to selectively capture anti-dsDNA autoantibodies (IgG, IgA and IgM AAbs) present in the sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Subsequently, the attached anti-dsDNA AAbs are detected with a mixture of conventional HRP-labeled secondary antibodies (HRP-anti-human IgG/IgM/IgA mixture). The biorecognition event is monitored by amperometric transduction using the hydroquinone (HQ)/H2O2 system upon capturing the modified MBs on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). The developed bioplatform exhibits a linear calibration plot ranging from 1 to 200 IU mL−1 with a LOD of 0.3 IU mL−1 for anti-dsDNA AAbs standards. In addition, the biosensor allows performing the determination of the anti-dsDNA AAbs levels directly in 100-times diluted serum samples from patients diagnosed with RA and in just 75 min. The obtained results are in agreement with those provided by an ELISA kit and allow discrimination between positive and negative samples.Item What Electrochemical Biosensors Can Do for Forensic Science? Unique Features and Applications(Biosensors, 2019) Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Agüí Chicharro, María Lourdes; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis article critically discusses the latest advances in the use of voltammetric, amperometric, potentiometric, and impedimetric biosensors for forensic analysis. Highlighted examples that show the advantages of these tools to develop methods capable of detecting very small concentrations of analytes and provide selective determinations through analytical responses, without significant interferences from other components of the samples, are presented and discussed, thus stressing the great versatility and utility of electrochemical biosensors in this growing research field. To illustrate this, the determination of substances with forensic relevance by using electrochemical biosensors reported in the last five years (2015–2019) are reviewed. The different configurations of enzyme or affinity biosensors used to solve analytical problems related to forensic practice, with special attention to applications in complex samples, are considered. Main prospects, challenges to focus, such as the fabrication of devices for rapid analysis of target analytes directly on-site at the crime scene, or their widespread use and successful applications to complex samples of interest in forensic analysis, and future efforts, are also briefly discussed.Item Electrochemical (Bio)Sensing Devices for Human-Microbiome-Related Biomarkers(Sensors, 2023) Sánchez Tirado, Esther; Agüí Chicharro, María Lourdes; González Cortés, Araceli; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThe study of the human microbiome is a multidisciplinary area ranging from the field of technology to that of personalized medicine. The possibility of using microbiota biomarkers to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases (e.g., cancer), health conditions (e.g., obesity) or relevant processes (e.g., aging) has raised great expectations, also in the field of bioelectroanalytical chemistry. The well-known advantages of electrochemical biosensors—high sensitivity, fast response, and the possibility of miniaturization, together with the potential for new nanomaterials to improve their design and performance—position them as unique tools to provide a better understanding of the entities of the human microbiome and raise the prospect of huge and important developments in the coming years. This review article compiles recent applications of electrochemical (bio)sensors for monitoring microbial metabolites and disease biomarkers related to different types of human microbiome, with a special focus on the gastrointestinal microbiome. Examples of electrochemical devices applied to real samples are critically discussed, as well as challenges to be faced and where future developments are expected to go..Item Anti-double stranded DNA antibodies: Electrochemical isotyping in autoimmune and neurological diseases(Analytica Chimica Acta, 2023) Arévalo Pérez, Beatriz; Serafín González-Carrato, Verónica; Garranzo-Asensio, María; Montero-Calle, Ana; Barderas, Rodrigo; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis work reports the first amperometric biosensor for the simultaneous determination of the single or total content of the most relevant human immunoglobulin isotypes (hIgs) of anti-dsDNA antibodies, dsDNA-hIgG, dsDNA-hIgM, dsDNA-hIgA and dsDNA-three hIgs, which are considered relevant biomarkers in prevalent autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as well as of interest in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The bioplatform involves the use of neutravidin-functionalized magnetic microparticles (NA-MBs) modified with a laboratory-prepared biotinylated human double-stranded DNA (b-dsDNA) for the efficient capture of specific autoantibodies that are enzymatically labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme using specific secondary antibodies for each isotype or a mixture of secondary antibodies for the total content of the three isotypes. Transduction was performed by amperometry (− 0.20 V vs. the Ag pseudo-reference electrode) using the H2O2/hydroquinone (HQ) system after trapping the resulting magnetic bioconjugates on each of the four working electrodes of a disposable quadruple transduction platform (SP4CEs). The bioplatform demonstrated attractive operational characteristics for clinical application and was employed to determine the individual or total hIgs classes in serum from healthy individuals and from patients diagnosed with SLE and AD. The target concentrations in AD patients are provided for the first time in this work. In addition, the results for SLE patients and control individuals agree with those obtained by applying ELISA tests as well as with the clinical ranges reported by other authors, using individual detection methodologies restricted to centralized settings or clinical laboratories.Item Click chemistry-assisted antibodies immobilization for immunosensing of CXCL7 chemokine in serum(Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 2019) Guerrero Irigoyen, Sara; Agüí Chicharro, María Lourdes; Barderas Manchado, Rodrigo; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José Manuel; Cadanno Mendía, DonaThe first electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of CXCL7 (chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 7) autoimmune biomarker is reported in this work. Click chemistry-assisted antibodies immobilization was per formed by reaction of azide functionalized-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ethynyl-IgG onto screen-printed carbon electrodes. The capture antibodies were further immobilized onto IgG-MWCNTs con jugates. After a blocking step with casein, a sandwich immunoassay was implemented involving biotinylated detector antibodies and alkaline phosphatase (AP)-streptavidin conjugate. Differential pulse voltammetry upon addition of 1-naphthylphosphate was used as the analytical readout. A linear calibration plot between 0.5 and 600 pg mL−1 CXCL7 and a LOD value of 0.1 pg mL−1 were obtained. The usefulness of the immunosensor was demonstrated by the successful analysis of serum samples from patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Item Multimodal/multifunctional nanomaterials in (Bio)electrochemistry: now and in the coming decade(Nanomaterials, 2020) Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; González Cortés, Araceli; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelMultifunctional nanomaterials, defined as those able to achieve a combined effect or more than one function through their multiple functionalization or combination with other materials, are gaining increasing attention in the last years in many relevant fields, including cargo targeted delivery, tissue engineering, in vitro and/or in vivo diseases imaging and therapy, as well as in the development of electrochemical (bio)sensors and (bio)sensing strategies with improved performance. This review article aims to provide an updated overview of the important advances and future opportunities exhibited by electrochemical biosensing in connection to multifunctional nanomaterials. Accordingly, representative aspects of recent approaches involving metal, carbon, and silica-based multifunctional nanomaterials are selected and critically discussed, as they are the most widely used multifunctional nanomaterials imparting unique capabilities in (bio)electroanalysis. A brief overview of the main remaining challenges and future perspectives in the field is also provided.Item Versatile electroanalytical bioplatforms for dimultaneous determination of cancer-related DNA 5-hethyl- and 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosines at global and gene-specific levels in human serum and tissues(ACS Sensors, 2018) Povedano Muñumel, Eloy; Ruiz Valdepeñas Montiel, Víctor; Valverde De La Fuente, Alejandro; Navarro Villoslada, Fernando; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Pedrero Muñoz, María; Montero-Calle, Ana; Barderas Manchado, Rodrigo; Peláez-García, Alberto; Mendiola, Marta; Hardisson, David; Feliú, Jaime; Camps, Jordi; Rodríguez-Tomàs, Elisabet; Joven, Jorge; Arenas, Meritxell; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis paper reports the preparation of versatile electrochemical biosensing platforms for the simple, rapid, and PCR-independent detection of the most frequent DNA methylation marks (5-methylcytosine, 5-mC, and/or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-hmC) both at global and gene-specific levels. The implemented strategies, relying on the smart coupling of immuno-magnetic beads (MBs), specific DNA probes and amperometric detection at screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs), provided sensitive and selective determination of the target methylated DNAs in less than 90 min with a great reproducibility and demonstrated feasibility for the simultaneous detection of the same or different cytosine epimarks both at global level and in different loci of the same gene or in different genes. The bioplatforms were applied to determine global methylation events in paraffin-embedded colorectal tissues and specific methylation at promoters of tumor suppressor genes in genomic DNA extracted from cancer cells and paraffin-embedded colorectal tissues, and in serum without previous DNA extraction from cancer patients.Item Enhanced determination of fertility hormones in saliva at disposable immunosensing platforms using a custom designed field-portable dual potentiostat(Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2019) Serafín González-Carrato, Verónica; Arévalo Pérez, Beatriz; Martínez-García, Gonzalo; Aznar-Poveda, Juan; Lopez-Pastor, José Antonio; Beltrán-Sánchez, J. Francisco; Garcia-Sanchez Antonio, Javier; Garcia-Haro, Juan; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis work describes a new electroanalytical device for the simultaneous and reliable determination of two fertility relevant hormones (luteinizing hormone, LH, and progesterone, P4) in saliva. The device is constructed using a custom designed and field-portable potentiostat where dual disposable immunosensing platform are connected. The immunosensors are based on sandwich-type and competitive immunoassays implemented onto magnetic microbeads (MBs) functionalized with Neutravidin and Protein G for the determination of LH and P4, respectively. Amperometric detection performed at −0.20 V vs the Ag pseudo-reference electrode using the H2O2/hydroquinone (HQ) system was employed as the transduction technique after placing the MBs with immunocomplexes for each target hormone on the appropriate working electrode of screen-printed dual carbon electrodes (SPdCEs). The method exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for the target hormones providing detection limits of 1.7 pg mL−1 and 0.10 mIU mL−1 for P4 and LH, respectively, with a 1 h test time. The applicability of the method was confirmed by determining both hormones in saliva samples from different volunteers providing results comparable to those obtained using amperometric transduction with a commercial potentiostat and with ELISA methodologies involving the same immunoreagents for each target hormone.Item Simultaneous amperometric immunosensing of the metastasis-related biomarkers IL-13Rα2 and CDH-17 by using grafted screen-printed electrodes and a composite prepared from quantum dots and carbon nanotubes for signal amplification(Microchimica Acta, 2019) Serafín González-Carrato, Verónica; Valverde De La Fuente, Alejandro; Garranzo-Asensio, María; Barderas, Rodrigo; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis paper describes a dual electrochemical immunoassay for the simultaneous determination of IL-13Rα2 and CDH-17, two biomarkers of emerging relevance in metastatic processes. The sandwich assay uses a screen-printed dual carbon electrode that was electrochemically grafted with p-aminobenzoic acid to allow the covalent immobilization of capture antibodies. A hybrid composed of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) act as nanocarriers for the detection antibodies and horseradish peroxidase. The use of this hybrid material considerably improves the assay (in comparison to the use of MWCNTs) due to the peroxidase mimicking activity of the GQDs. The method works at a low working potential (0.20 V vs. Ag pseudo-reference electrode) and thus is not readily interfered by unknown electroactive species. The dual immunoassay allows for the selective determination of both biomarkers with LOD values of 1.4 (IL-13sRα2) and 0.03 ng mL-1 (CDH-17). The simultaneous determination of IL-13Rα2 and CDH-17 was accomplished in lysates from breast and colorectal cancer cells with different metastatic potential, and in paraffin-embedded tumor tissues extracts from patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at different stages. The applicability to discriminate the metastatic potential even in intact cells through the detection of both extracellular receptors has been demonstrated also. The assay can be performed within 3 h, requires small sample amounts (0.5 μg), and has a simple protocol. Graphical abstract Dual amperometric immunosensing of the metastasis-related biomarkers IL-13Rα2 and CDH-17 in human colorectal cancer cells and tissues by using grafted screen-printed electrodes and composites of quantum dots and carbon nanotubes as nanocarriers.
