Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Colorimetric and Fluorometric Profiling of Advanced Glycation End Products(American Chemical Society, 2022) Ammanath, Gopal; Delachi, Carla Giorgia; Karabacak, Soner; Ali, Yusuf; Boehm, Bernhard O.; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Alagappan, Palaniappan; Liedberg, BoProfiling of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is an emerging area of clinical significance for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Typically, concentrations of AGEs are estimated in laboratories by trained personnel using sophisticated equipment. Herein, a facile approach for colorimetric and fluorometric profiling of AGEs is reported for rapid and on-site analysis. The concentrations of AGE levels in plasma are estimated via changes in optical properties of polythiophenes (PTs) upon interaction with aptamers (Apts) in the presence and in the absence of AGEs. To validate the proposed approach, glyceraldehyde-derived AGEs (AGE class 1 [AGE1]), the biomarker associated with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, are used as a model system. Colorimetric analysis yielded linear responses for AGE1 for clinically relevant concentration ranges between 1.5 and 300 μg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of ∼1.3 μg/mL. Subsequently, an approach utilizing PTs with four different pendant groups in conjunction with four different Apts is demonstrated for qualitative colorimetric profiling and for quantitative fluorometric profiling of up to four AGEs in clinical matrices. Principal component analysis (PCA) of fluorometric responses of AGE-spiked samples yielded distinct responses for the different AGEs tested. Thus, the proposed approach ascertains rapid profiling of spiked AGEs in plasma samples without the requirement of preanalytical processing and advanced instrumentation, thereby facilitating on-site diagnosis.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 37Flow-Through Colorimetric Assay for Detection of Nucleic Acids in Plasma(Elsevier, 2019) Ammanath, Gopal; Yeasmi, Sanjida; Srinivasulu, Yuvasri; Vats, Mukti; Cheema, Jamal Ahmed; Nabilah, Fairuz; Liedberg, Bo; Yıldız, Ümit HakanA flow-through colorimetric assay for detection of nucleic acids in plasma is reported. The proposed assay features an array of four polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes impregnated with cationic poly (3-alkoxy-4-methylthiophene) (PT) as an optical reporter. The sensing strategy is based on monitoring the changes in optical properties of PT, upon complexation with target nucleic acids in the presence and in the absence of their corresponding complementary peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). As a proof of concept, the proposed methodology is validated using two biomarkers; lung cancer associated microRNA (mir21) and hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV-DNA). The flow-through colorimetric assay enabled detection of mir21 and HBV-DNA in plasma without requiring tedious sample pre-treatment and clean up protocols. Colorimetric responses for mir21 and HBV-DNA were obtained at nanomolar concentrations over five orders of magnitudes (from 1 nM to 10 mu M), with a limit of detection of -0.6 nM and -2 nM in DI water and plasma, respectively. A logic gate system was developed to utilize the colorimetric assay responses as inputs for discrimination of mir21 and HBV-DNA and subsequently to obtain a profile of nucleic acids in samples that exceed respective clinical threshold limits, thereby enabling rapid and point of care (POC) disease diagnosis. Furthermore, the proposed methodology can be utilized for detection of a large number of nucleic acids in plasma by extending the array of PT impregnated membranes incorporated with their corresponding complementary PNAs.
