Abstract
A fluorescence and colorimetric tandem dual-mode sensor was established by modulating fluorescence and oxidase-like activity via valence switching of cerium-based coordination polymer nanoparticles (Ce-CPNs) for the detection of sarcosine (Sar) which is considered as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). In the present research, sarcosine oxidase (SOX) specifically catalyzes the oxidation of Sar to yield H2O2 which can rapidly oxidize Ce(III)-CPNs to generate Ce(IV)-CPNs in appropriate alkaline solution. The generated Ce(IV)-CPNs create a markedly weakened fluorescent signal at 350 nm, while they can induce oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate blue TMBox through emerging good oxidase-like activity. The sensing platform can realize accurate, stable, and high-throughput detection of Sar because of the tandem dual signal output mechanism. More attractively, the chromogenic hydrogel sensing device using smartphone photographing has achieved perfect results for the on-site sensing of Sar in urine specimens without large experimental equipments, demonstrating its considerable clinical application potential in the early diagnosis of PCa.

摘要
通过铈基配位聚合物纳米粒子 (Ce-CPNs) 的价态转换调节荧光和氧化酶样活性,建立了荧光和比色串联双模式传感器,用于检测被认为是潜在生物标志物的肌氨酸 (Sar)前列腺癌 (PCa) 的诊断。在目前的研究中,肌氨酸氧化酶 (SOX) 特异性催化 Sar 氧化生成 H 2 O 2它可以在适当的碱性溶液中快速氧化 Ce(III)-CPNs 生成 Ce(IV)-CPNs。生成的 Ce(IV)-CPNs 在 350 nm 处产生明显减弱的荧光信号,同时它们可以通过新出现的良好氧化酶样活性诱导 3,3',5,5'-四甲基联苯胺 (TMB) 氧化生成蓝色 TMBox。由于串联双信号输出机制,传感平台可以实现对Sar的准确、稳定、高通量检测。更吸引人的是,利用智能手机拍照的显色水凝胶传感装置,在无需大型实验设备的情况下,对尿液标本中Sar的现场检测取得了完美的结果,展示了其在PCa早期诊断中的巨大临床应用潜力。
