Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in a variety of biological processes, such as embryonic development, tissue growth and wound healing, among others. There is increasing evidence that EMT plays a key role in tumor progression, promoting infiltration of benign tumor cells into surrounding tissues and metastasis to distant sites. During the development of EMT, epithelial cells lose polarity and intercellular junctions, assume a slender morphology, and acquire cell motility. A number of molecules, such as Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), have been identified that are capable of inducing the development of EMT. In addition, several molecular events are involved in the EMT process, including: activation of transcription factors, expression of specific proteins, and rearrangement of the cytoskeleton.
EMT is currently detected mainly by traditional methods such as Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy. However, the inventor finds that the method has the defects of long detection time, complicated steps, high cost and the like.

Various markers of EMT before and after TGF treatment were analyzed to characterize the successful construction of a cellular EMT model system for electrochemical detection. Immunoblot analysis showed that E-cadherin levels were down-regulated and N-cadherin expression was up-regulated 48 hours after TGF β treatment, demonstrating classical cadherin turnover during the development of EMT. In addition, down-regulation of ZO-1 expression and up-regulation of vimentin levels also followed changes in classical EMT markers (fig. 1 a). Morphological images of cells before and after TGF treatment were also compared in the bright field (figure 1 b). After TGF β treatment, the morphology of a549 changed from cuboidal epithelial to long spindle mesenchymal, which can promote cell migration and is a behavioral characteristic of cells undergoing EMT. In the transwell invasion assay, the number of cells treated with TGF + and stained with crystal violet was significantly higher than in the TGF-group (fig. 1 c). The invasion rate between the two groups was also analyzed by counting the number of invading TGF β + cells by inverted microscopy, which increased from 63.7% to 76.7% compared to TGF β -cells (fig. 1 d). Immunofluorescent staining results were also consistent with immunoblot analysis showing that the expression of EMT markers varied as expected, including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, ZO-1 and vimentin (fig. 1E). These results indicate successful establishment of the EMT model system.
2. Characterization of nanocomposites and electrocatalytic activity of modified electrodes
To improve the electrode performance, the surface of the electrode was modified using a carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotube-gold nanoparticle (MWCNT-AuNP) nanocomposite. The MWCNT-AuNP morphology and structure were first characterized using transmission electron microscopy, and pure AuNPs proved to be homogeneous spherical structures with an average diameter of about 5nm (fig. 2 a). As shown in fig. 2b, the typical core-shell structure of MWCNTs without aggregation is clearly shown with the help of poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), a strong cationic polyelectrolyte. Aunps having negative charges can be attached to the surface of CNTs due to electrostatic adsorption (fig. 2 c). In addition, EDX experiments were performed to analyze the elemental composition of the nanomaterials and showed significant peaks of Au and C corresponding to AuNPs and CNTs, respectively, where the peaks associated with Cu and O came from the substrate (fig. 2 d).
Electrochemical properties of bare GCE, CNT/GCE and CNT-AuNPs/GCE were studied using cyclic voltammetry and the results showed that each modified electrode had a distinct redox peak formed by ferricyanide ions (FIG. 2 e). The microscopic electroactive area of CNT-AuNPs/GCE was calculated according to the Randles-Sevcik equation, which is 2.6 and 1.7 times higher than that of bare GCE and CNT/GCE, respectively. These results indicate that the modified nanomaterial can enhance the conductivity and sensitivity of the electrode.
The kinetics of the modified electrode was studied by analyzing the effect of the scan rate on the redox current. The electrochemical performance of CNT-AuNPs/GCE was examined when the scanning rate was 10-100mV/s in 10mM potassium ferricyanide solution, and the maximum current value of the redox reaction was found to follow the sweepThe increase in the scan rate increases linearly. Furthermore, the distance between the redox peaks becomes more and more distant (fig. 2 f). Based on these results, the square root (v) of the scan rate is compared 1/2 ) The associated oxidation peak (Ipa) and reduction (Ipc) peak currents were fitted linearly (fig. 2 g). Determine final linear equation as Ipa =13.79v 1/2 (mV/s)-4.19(R 2 =0.99675)、Ipc=-18.09v 1/2 (mV/s)-11.08(R 2 = 0.99991). The results of these calculations indicate that the electrochemical signal is the result of diffusion-controlled surface reactions.
3. Characterization of E-cad-antibody-QD probes and optimization of the experimental conditions
To explore the effectiveness of such probes, it was first considered whether E-cad-antibody-QD is able to specifically recognize E-cadherin, a prerequisite for EMT detection. E-cadherin lysed from different concentrations of cells was compared using E-cad-antibody-QD and a standard E-cad antibody (FIG. 3 a). The membrane stained by E-cad-antibody-QD was brighter than the membrane stained with standard antibody, and the fluorescence intensity increased with increasing cell concentration (fig. 3 b). Immunofluorescence also demonstrated that the prepared probes can specifically bind to E-cadherin and are bound by HNO at QD 3 The fluorescence signal disappeared after dissolution. Furthermore, cells incubated with pure QDs lacked a fluorescent signal (fig. 3 c). Electrochemical measurements were also performed with and without a549 cells, indicating that specific electrochemical signals for the probe at-0.65V are related to E-cadherin on the cell surface (fig. 3 d). The effect of incubation time on the E-cad-antibody-QD probe was studied, which can directly affect the performance of the electrochemical biosensor. Figure 3e shows the results of DPV experiments using electrochemical EMT systems prepared at different incubation times. The results show that the oxidation current increases from 0 to 120 minutes and then decreases with time, so 120 minutes is the optimal time for probe incubation.
4. Electrochemical detection at protein level and at different concentrations in living cells using EMT sensing system
The analytical performance of the proposed EMT sensing system was first evaluated at the protein level. Differential pulse voltammetry measurements showed that the peak current signal of the QDs was intense with increasing E-cadherin concentrationAnd (fig. 4 a). The increase in current was attributed to the greater adsorption of E-cadherin antigen on the CNT-AuNP modified electrode to the E-cad-antibody-QD probe. The proposed biosensor shows significant linearity, with E-cadherin concentrations from 1ng/mL to 900ng/mL, linear regression equations calculated as Y =0.01X +1.83, pearson coefficient 0.99 (RSD changes from 2.3% to 3.9%, n = 5) (FIG. 4 b). To demonstrate that detection of the oxidation peak is an effective means to assess E-cadherin expression in cells, different concentrations of a549 cells were detected using a biosensor. When the number of A549 cells is from 7.0X 10 2 Gradually increase to 4.1 × 10 5 After that, the current DPV peak was significantly increased (fig. 4 c), which corresponds to the results for Western blot (fig. 3 a). These results indicate that the proposed sensing system can be used to detect E-cadherin and to analyze EMT processes.
5. Detecting changes in current during EMT by an EMT electrochemical biosensor
To study the electrochemical performance of EMT biosensors, different stages of EMT models were obtained by TGF- β treatment and detected using western blot, immunofluorescence microscopy and electrochemical methods. Western blot showed that E-cadherin and N-cadherin levels were altered as expected, demonstrating the EMT process (fig. 5 a). There was no significant change in alpha-tubulin levels. FIG. 5b shows the gradual disappearance of the fluorescence intensity of E-cadherin with increasing induction time. Differential pulse voltammetry measurements showed that the peak current signal became small at the later stages of EMT (fig. 5 c). Calibration curves of current and induction time were fitted after five independent replicates giving a linear current response in the late phase of EMT with a correlation coefficient of 0.98 (RSD <3.0%, n = 5) (fig. 5 d). The current signal shows a sharp decrease in early EMT from 0 to 24 hours, which corresponds to Western blot results (fig. 5 a). These data demonstrate that EMT electrochemical sensors can distinguish between different stages of EMT.
6. EMT detection in different cell lines
To verify the universality of the application of the prepared EMT electrochemical sensor, the expression levels of E-cadherin in RBE bile duct cancer, MCF7 breast cancer, SKOV3 ovarian cancer, and PANC1 pancreatic cancer cell lines before and after TGF treatment were examined using western blot, immunofluorescence microscopy, and the EMT sensor prepared in this study. Immunofluorescence microscopy (fig. 6 a) demonstrated that all four cell lines were induced into EMT. Electrochemical signals in RBE (fig. 6 b), MCF7 (fig. 6 c), SKOV3 (fig. 6 d) and PANC1 (fig. 6 e) cells were significantly attenuated after TGF treatment, consistent with western blot results. This phenomenon demonstrates that EMT electrochemical sensors can be used in multiple cell lines for EMT detection.
