the electrochemical detection adopts CHI660D electrochemical workstation to measure electrochemical signals. The electrochemical system comprises a platinum counter electrode, a saturated calomel reference electrode and a gold working electrode. Cyclic voltammetry parameters: 0.55 to-0.2V scan range, 50mV/s scan rate; alternating current impedance parameters: amplitude 5mV, frequency range 0.1Hz to 100000 Hz; square wave volt-ampere parameters: amplitude 25mV, step 4mV, frequency 50Hz, sweep range 0.6 to-0.6V. The electrolyte of the cyclic voltammetry and the alternating-current impedance method is 5mM potassium ferricyanide; the electrolyte for square wave voltammetry was 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.45).
The principle, feasibility and the like of the method are experimentally verified as follows:
referring to FIG. 2, the square voltammogram under several conditions includes a bare electrode (bare), an electrode modified with a DNA Probe A (Probe A), an electrode modified with a Probe A and a hybrid of probes B-C, and Mg2+After the action (Probe A/B/C + Mg2+) Electrode modified with probe A and probe B/C hybrid, and Mg2+And ctDNA (Probe A/B/C + Mg)2++ctDNA)。
As can be seen from fig. 2, no significant current peak was observed in the square wave voltammogram of the bare electrode; after the probe A is modified, an obvious current peak appears at 0.3V, and belongs to a ferrocene molecule modified at the tail end of the probe A; after the electrode is further reacted with probe B/C, in Mg2+In the presence of the probe, the obtained square wave voltammogram is basically consistent with the square wave voltammogram, because the methylene blue at the tail end of the probe B is far away from the electrode, a remarkable current peak cannot be generated; on the other hand, when the target ctDNA is present, probe C can be displaced into the solution and form a DNAzyme structure with DNA probe A, DNA, probe B sequence can be further reacted with probe A, the distance between methylene blue and gold electrode is reduced, and the DNAzyme structure is formed in Mg2+With the assistance of the probe A, the probe A can be cut off, and a sequence modified with ferrocene is released into a solution, so that the obvious reduction of the ferrocene peak value and the generation of a new peak (methylene blue) at-0.3V are observed in a square wave voltammogram.
Fig. 3(a) is an ac impedance diagram: the electrode modified with the hybrid of the probe A and the probe B-C and Mg2+After the action, the electrode modified with the hybrid of the probe A and the probe B-C is further mixed with Mg2+After action and ctDNA action. FIG. 3(B) is the corresponding cyclic voltammogram.
And (3) characterizing various properties of the surface of the electrode after each part reacts through electrochemical alternating current impedance and a cyclic voltammogram. As shown in fig. 3A, the ac impedance of the bare electrode is represented by a linear region, which proves that the gold electrode has good conductivity; after the probe A is modified, a semicircular area appears, and the diameter of the semicircular area is in positive correlation with the impedance value, so that the effective fixation of the probe A is verified; after the probes B-C are further modified, the diameter of the semicircular area is further increased, and the hybridization of the fixed probes B-C can further block the electron transfer of the electric signal molecules (potassium ferricyanide) with the same charge in the electrolyte, so that the impedance value is increased; after ctDNA is added, although the probe C is replaced, the interaction of the probe B and the probe A can improve the density of DNA molecules near the electrode, so that the repulsion effect on potassium ferricyanide is increased, and the impedance value is further increased; if Mg is added to the system2+Can assist DNAzyme to circularly activate and cut the probe A, and after a large number of DNA sequences with negative electricity leave an electrode interface, the repulsion action on potassium ferricyanide is greatly reduced, so that a smaller impedance value (a semicircular area) is presented. The cyclic voltammogram of fig. 3B provides the same trend, with lower peak current at higher DNA density on the electrode surface, and the trend of peak current in the cyclic voltammogram is more consistent with the expectation.
Electrochemical analysis is performed on the reacted gold electrode, and fig. 4(a) shows a square wave voltammetry curve (0,0.1fM,1fM,10fM,100fM,1pM,10pM,100pM,1nM,10nM,100nM) obtained by detecting ctDNA with different concentrations by using the method of the present invention, and square wave voltammetry peak changes of ferrocene and methylene blue after the reaction are obtained. Intensity of electrochemical signal IFC IMBIs calculated as Δ I ═ IMB-IFC
And (3) performing curve fitting by taking the logarithmic concentration of the target ctDNA standard solution as an abscissa and the electrochemical signal intensity difference Δ I corresponding to the set of target ctDNA standard solutions as an ordinate to obtain a standard curve, as shown in fig. 4 (B).
Fig. 4(C) is a comparison of square wave voltammograms after a reaction triggered by mismatched ctDNA molecules and target ctDNA molecules; fig. 4(D) is a comparison of the difference in electrochemical signal intensity after the reaction triggered by the mismatched ctDNA molecule and the target ctDNA molecule.
In this example, the electrochemical double signal intensity change caused by ctDNA with different concentrations was tested, as shown in fig. 4A, the electrochemical signal intensity of ferrocene gradually decreased and the electrochemical signal intensity of methylene blue gradually increased with the increase of ctDNA concentration. FIG. 4B is a graph of the corresponding electrochemical signal variation versus intensity, which is linearly related to the logarithmic ctDNA concentration and has a wide linear range (10)-16To 10-7M). Furthermore, the selectivity of the detection method can be verified by comparing the strength of electrochemical signals. By introducing 7 mismatched ctDNA sequences to carry out experiments and comparing corresponding square wave voltammetry curves (figure 4C), it can be seen that the mismatched sequences can not cause the reduction of ferrocene peak basically, in addition, methylene blue signals are not generated, and the comparison of related electrochemical signal difference values can be more intuitively shown in figure 4D, which shows that the method of the invention has good specificity to ctDNA.
Example 2
This example provides a nucleic acid sensor that includes DNA probe A, DNA probe B and DNA probe C in example 1, and that detects ctDNA using the method of example 1.
While embodiments of the invention have been disclosed above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the description and the embodiments, which are fully applicable in all kinds of fields of application of the invention, and further modifications may readily be effected by those skilled in the art, so that the invention is not limited to the specific details without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents.
