Item Simultaneous determination of CXCL7 chemokine and MMP3 metalloproteinase as biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis(Talanta, 2021) Guerrero Irigoyen, Sara; Sánchez Tirado, Esther; Agüí Chicharro, María Lourdes; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez-Sedeño Orive, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis paper reports the preparation of the first dual electrochemical immunosensor for the simultaneous determination of the CXCL7 chemokine and the MMP3 metalloproteinase as relevant biomarkers for the better diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis derived from the multiple biomarkers measurement. The developed immunosensor involves the use of carboxylated magnetic beads (MBs) and dual screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPdCEs). Sandwich-type configurations implied the covalent immobilization of specific anti-CXCL7 (cAb1) or anti-MMP3 (cAb2) capture antibodies onto MBs and the use of biotinylated detection antibodies with further labelling with HRP-Strept conjugates. The resulting MBS bioconjugates were magnetically captured on the respective working electrode of the SPdCE and the determination of the antigens was accomplished by measuring the amperometric responses of H2O2 mediated by hydroquinone (HQ) at a potential value of −0.20 V. The dual immunosensor provided calibration plots with linear ranges between 1 and 75 ng mL−1 (CXCL7) (R2 = 0.997) and from 2.0 to 2000 pg mL−1 (MMP3) (R2 = 0.998) with detection limits of 0.8 ng mL−1 and 1.2 pg mL−1, respectively. The assay took 2 h 20 min for the simultaneous determination of both biomarkers. The dual immunosensor was successfully applied to the analysis of human serum from positive and negative RA patients.Item Electrochemical immunosensor for simultaneous determination of interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha in serum and saliva using dual screen printed electrodes modified with functionalized double–walled carbon nanotubes(Analytica Chimica Acta, 2016) Sánchez Tirado, Esther; Salvo, Coral; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Langa, Fernando; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelDual screen-printed carbon electrodes modified with 4-carboxyphenyl-functionalized double-walled carbon nanotubes (HOOC-Phe-DWCNTs/SPCEs) have been used as scaffolds for the preparation of electrochemical immunosensors for the simultaneous determination of the cytokines Interleukin-1b (IL-1b) and factor necrosis tumor a (TNF-a). IL-1b. Capture antibodies were immobilized onto HOOC-Phe DWCNTs/SPCEs in an oriented form making using the commercial polymeric coating Mix&Go™. Sandwich type immunoassays with amperometric signal amplification through the use of poly-HRPstreptavidin conjugates and H2O2 as HRP substrate and hydroquinone as redox mediator were implemented. Upon optimization of the experimental variables affecting the immunosensor performance, the dual immunosensor allows ranges of linearity extending between 0.5 and 100 pg/mL and from 1 to 200 pg/mL for IL-1b and TNF-a, respectively, these ranges being adequate for the determination of the cytokines in clinical samples. The achieved limits of detection were 0.38 pg/mL (IL-1b) and 0.85 pg/mL (TNF-a). In addition, the dual immunosensor exhibits excellent reproducibility of the measurements, storage stability of the anti-IL-Phe-DWCNTs/SPCE and anti-TNF-Phe-DWCNTs/SPCE conjugates, and selectivity as well as negligible cross-talking. The dual immunosensor was applied to the simultaneous determination of IL-1b and TNF-a in human serum spiked at clinically relevant concentration levels and in real saliva samples.Item Rapid micromotor-based naked-eye immunoassay(Talanta, 2017) Esteban Fernandez de Avila, Berta; Zhao, Mingjiao; Campuzano, Susana; Ricci, Francesco; Pingarrón Carrazón, José Manuel; Mascini, Marcelo; Wang, JosephA dynamic micromotor-based immunoassay, exemplified by cortisol detection, based on the use of tubular micromotors functionalized with a specific antibody is described. The use of antibody-functionalized micromotors offers huge acceleration of both direct and competitive cortisol immunoassays, along with greatly enhanced sensitivity of direct and competitive immunoassays. The dramatically improved speed and sensitivity reflect the greatly increased likelihood of antibody-cortisol contacts and fluid mixing associated with the dynamic movement of these microtube motors and corresponding bubble generation that lead to a highly efficient and rapid recognition process. Rapid naked-eye detection of cortisol in the sample is achieved in connection to use of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tag and TMB/H2O2 system. Key parameters of the competitive immunoassay (e.g., incubation time and reaction volume) were optimized. This fast visual micromotor-based sensing approach enables “on the move” specific detection of the target cortisol down to 0.1 μg mL−1 in just 2 min, using ultrasmall (50 µL) sample volumes.Item p53 and p63 Proteoforms Derived from Alternative Splicing Possess Differential Seroreactivity in Colorectal Cancer with Distinct Diagnostic Ability from the Canonical Proteins(Cancers, 2023) Montero Calle, Ana; Garranzo Asensio, María; Torrente Rodríguez, Rebeca Magnolia; Ruiz Valdepeñas Montiel, Víctor; Poves, Carmen; Dziakova, Jana; Sanz, Rodrigo; Díaz Del Arco, Cristina; Pingarrón Carrazón, José Manuel; Fernández Aceñero, María Jesús; Campuzano Ruiz, Susana; Barderas Manchado, RodrigoColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The detection in plasma samples of autoantibodies against specific tumor-associated antigens has been demonstrated to be useful for the early diagnosis of CRC by liquid biopsy. However, new studies related to the humoral immune response in cancer are needed to enable blood-based diagnosis of the disease. Here, our aim was to characterize the humoral immune response associated with the different p53 and p63 proteoforms derived from alternative splicing and previously described as aberrantly expressed in CRC. Thus, here we investigated the diagnostic ability of the twelve p53 proteoforms and the eight p63 proteoforms described to date, and their specific N-terminal and C-terminal end peptides, by means of luminescence HaloTag beads immunoassays. Full-length proteoforms or specific peptides were cloned as HaloTag fusion proteins and their seroreactivity analyzed using plasma from CRC patients at stages I-IV (n = 31), individuals with premalignant lesions (n = 31), and healthy individuals (n = 48). p53γ, Δ40p53β, Δ40p53γ, Δ133p53γ, Δ160p53γ, TAp63α, TAp63δ, ΔNp63α, and ΔNp63δ, together with the specific C-terminal end α and δ p63 peptides, were found to be more seroreactive against plasma from CRC patients and/or individuals with premalignant lesions than from healthy individuals. In addition, ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curves revealed a high diagnostic ability of those p53 and p63 proteoforms to detect CRC and premalignant individuals (AUC higher than 85%). Finally, electrochemical biosensing platforms were employed in POC-like devices to investigate their usefulness for CRC detection using selected p53 and p63 proteoforms. Our results demonstrate not only the potential of these biosensors for the simultaneous analysis of proteoforms’ seroreactivity, but also their convenience and versatility for the clinical detection of CRC by liquid biopsy. In conclusion, we here show that p53 and p63 proteoforms possess differential seroreactivity in CRC patients in comparison to controls, distinctive from canonical proteins, which should improve the diagnostic panels for obtaining a blood-based biomarker signature for CRC detection.Item Electrochemical sensor for rapid determination of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 in raw cancer cell lysates(PLOS ONE, 2017) Khodarahmi, Reza; Torrente Rodríguez, Rebeca M.; Ruiz-Valdepeñas Montiel, Víctor; Campuzano, Susana; Pedrero Muñoz, María; Farchado, Meryem; Vargas, Eva; Manuel de Villena, F. Javier; Garranzo Asensio, María; Barderas, Rodrigo; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThe first electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) biomarker is reported in this work. The biosensor involves a sandwich configuration with covalent immobilization of a specific capture antibody onto activated carboxylic-modified magnetic microcarriers (HOOC-MBs) and amperometric detection at disposable carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPCEs). The biosensor exhibits a great analytical performance regarding selectivity for the target protein and a low LOD of 48.2 pg mL-1. The electrochemical platform was successfully applied for the determination of FGFR4 in different cancer cell lysates without any apparent matrix effect after a simple sample dilution and using only 2.5 μg of the raw lysate. Comparison of the results with those provided by a commercial ELISA kit shows competitive advantages by using the developed immunosensor in terms of simplicity, analysis time, and portability and cost-affordability of the required instrumentation for the accurate determination of FGFR4 in cell lysates.Item Magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes as nanocarrier tags for sensitive determination of fetuin in saliva(Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2018) Sánchez Tirado, E; Gónzalez Cortés, A; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis paper reports the development and performance of an electrochemical immunosensor using magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (m-MWCNTs) as nanocarrier tags for the determination of human fetuin A (HFA), a relevant biomarker of obesity, insulin resistance, and type-2 diabetes as well as for pancreatic and liver cancers and inflammatory processes. Screen-printed carbon electrodes were grafted with p-aminobezoic acid and streptavidin was covalently immobilized on the electrode surface. A biotinylated capture antibody was immobilized through streptavidin-biotin interaction and a sandwich assay configuration was implemented using m-MWCNTs conjugated with HRP and anti-HFA antibodies as the detection label. The determination of HFA was accomplished by measuring the current produced by the electrochemical reduction of benzoquinone at -200 mV upon addition of H2O2 as HRP substrate. The prepared m-MWCNTs were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and EDS. All the steps involved in the immunosensor preparation were monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. A linear calibration plot for HFA was found between 20 and 2000 pg/mL with a LOD value of 16 pg/mL. This performance is notably better than that reported for an ELISA kit and a chronoimpedimetric immunosensor. The favorable contribution of m-MWCNTs in comparison with MWCNTs without incorporated magnetic particles to this excellent analytical performance is also highlighted. The immunosensor selectivity against other proteins and potentially interfering compounds was excellent. In addition, the usefulness of the immunosensor was demonstrated by the analysis of HFA in saliva with minimal sample treatment.Item Electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive determination of transforming growth factor (TGF) - β1 in urine(Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2017) Sánchez Tirado, E.; Martínez García, G.; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThe first amperometric immunosensor for the quantification of TGF-β1, a cytokine proposed as a biomarker for patients having or at risk for renal disease, is described in this work. The immunosensor design involves disposable devices using carboxylic acid-functionalized magnetic microparticles supported onto screen-printed carbon electrodes and covalent immobilization of the specific antibody for TGF-β1 using Mix&Go polymer. A sandwich-type immunoassay was performed using biotin-anti-TGF and conjugation with peroxidase-labeled streptavidin (poly-HRP-Strept) polymer. Amperometric measurements were carried out at 0.20 V by adding hydrogen peroxide solution onto the electrode surface in the presence of hydroquinone as the redox mediator. The calibration plot allowed a range of linearity extending between 15 and 3000 pg/mL TGF-β1 which is adequate for the determination of the cytokine in plasma and urine. The limit of detection, 10 pg/mL, is notably improved with respect to those obtained with ELISA kits. The usefulness of the immunosensor for the determination of low TGF-β1 concentrations in real samples was evaluated by analyzing spiked urine at different pg/mL concentration levels.Item Disposable electrochemical biosensors for Brettanomyces bruxellensis and total yeast content in wine based on core-shell magnetic nanoparticles(Sensors & Actuators: B. Chemical, 2018) Villalonga, María L.; Borisova, Boryana; Arenas, Christian B.; Villalonga, Anabel; Arévalo-Villena, María; Sánchez Sánchez, Alfredo; Pingarrón Carrazón, José Manuel; Briones-Pérez, Ana; Villalonga Santana, ReynaldoTwo different disposable amperometric biosensors for the rapid detection and quantification of Brettanomyces bruxellensis (Brett) and total yeast content in wine were constructed. The biosensing approach implied the use of magnetic capturing elements based on core-shell Fe3O4@SiO2 superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NanoCaptors) functionalized with specific bioreceptors: Concanavalin A (Con A) for total yeast analysis, and anti-Brett polyclonal antibodies for Brett. A Con A-peroxidase conjugate and carbon screen printed electrodes were used as signaling element and sensing interfaces, respectively. The biosensor based on antibody-modified magnetic nanoparticles allowed the amperometric detection of B. bruxellensis in buffer solution and red wine samples in the range of 10 - 106 CFU/mL, with low detection limits of 6 CFU/mL and 8 CFU/mL, respectively. In addition, the use of Con A-linked magnetic nanoparticles as capturing elements allowed determination of total yeast content in buffer solution and red wine in the range of 10 - 106 CFU/mL, with detection limit of 5 CFU/mL. These electrochemical biosensors also exhibited high reproducibility, selectivity and storage stability.Item Non-Invasive Breast Cancer Diagnosis through Electrochemical Biosensing at Different Molecular Levels(Sensors, 2017) Campuzano, Susana; Pedrero Muñoz, María; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThe rapid and accurate determination of specific circulating biomarkers at different molecular levels with non- or minimally invasive methods constitutes a major challenge to improve the breast cancer outcomes and life quality of patients. In this field, electrochemical biosensors have demonstrated to be promising alternatives against more complex conventional strategies to perform fast, accurate and on-site determination of circulating biomarkers at low concentrations in minimally treated body fluids. In this article, after discussing briefly the relevance and current challenges associated with the determination of breast cancer circulating biomarkers, an updated overview of the electrochemical affinity biosensing strategies emerged in the last 5 years for this purpose is provided highlighting the great potentiality of these methodologies. After critically discussing the most interesting features of the electrochemical strategies reported so far for the single or multiplexed determination of such biomarkers with demonstrated applicability in liquid biopsy analysis, existing challenges still to be addressed and future directions in this field will be pointed out.Item Viologen-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes as carrier nanotags for electrochemical immunosensing. Application to TGF-β1 cytokine(Biosensors and Biolelectrics, 2017) Sánchez Tirado, Esther; Arellano, Luis M.; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Langa, Fernando; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelViologen-SWCNT hybrids are synthesized by aryl-diazonium chemistry in the presence of isoamyl nitrite followed by condensation reaction of the resulting HOOC-PheSWCNT with 1-(3-aminoethyl)-4,4’-bipyridinium bromine and N-alkylation with 2- bromoethylamine. The V-Phe-SWCNT hybrids were characterized by using different spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, Raman, UV-vis), TGA and Kaiser test. ViologenSWCNTs were used for the preparation of an electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) cytokine considered as a reliable biomarker in several human diseases. The methodology involved preparation of VPhe-SWCNT(-HRP)-anti-TGF conjugates by covalent linkage of HRP and anti-TGF onto V-Phe-SWCNT hybrids. Biotinylated anti-TGF antibodies were immobilized onto 4- carboxyphenyl-functionalized SPCEs modified with streptavidin and a sandwich type 2 immunoassay was implemented for TGF-β1 with signal amplification using V-PheSWCNT(-HRP)-anti-TGF conjugates as carrier tags. The analytical characteristics exhibited by the as prepared immunosensor (range of linearity between 2.5 and 1000 pg mL-1 TGF-β1; detection limit of 0.95 pg mL-1 ) improve notably those reported with other previous immunosensors or ELISA kits. A great selectivity against other proteins was also found. The prepared immunosensor was validated by determining TGF-β1 in real saliva samples. Minimal sample treatment was required and the obtained results were in excellent agreement with those obtained by using a commercial ELISA kit.
