PG - 190-196 LID - S0956-5663(18)30196-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bios.2018.03.023 [doi] AB - Sensitive and specific detection of DNA is of great significance for clinical diagnosis. In this paper, an effective cascade signal amplification strategy was introduced into photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) DNA. This proposed signal amplification strategy integrates lambda-exonuclease (lambda-Exo) aided target recycling with hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and enzyme catalysis. In the presence of target DNA (tDNA) of HTLV-I, the designed hairpin DNA (h(1)DNA) hybridized with tDNA, subsequently recognized and cleaved by lambda-Exo to set free tDNA. With the lambda-Exo aided tDNA recycling, an increasing number of DNA fragments (output DNA, oDNA) were released from the digestion of h(1)DNA. Then, triggered by the hybridization of oDNA with capture DNA (cDNA), numerous biotin-labeled hairpin DNAs (h(2)DNA and h(3)DNA) could be loaded onto the photoelectrode via the HCR. Finally, avidin-labeled alkaline phosphatase (avidin-ALP) could be introduced onto the electrode by specific interaction between biotin and avidin. The ALP could catalyze dephosphorylation of phospho-L-ascorbic acid trisodium salt (AAP) to generate an efficient electron donor of ascorbic acid (AA), and thereby greatly increasing the photocurrent signal. By utilizing the proposed cascade signal amplification strategy, the fabricated PEC biosensor exhibited an ultrasensitive and specific detection of HTLV-I DNA down to 11.3 aM, and it also offered an effective strategy to detect other DNAs at ultralow levels.
