Profuse color-evolution based aptasensor for mucin 1 detection utilizing urease-mediated color mixing of the mixed pH indicator.
Talanta 2024 May 2
Mucin 1 is a significant tumor marker, and developing portable and cost-effective methods for its detection is crucial, especially in resource-limited areas. Herein, we developed an innovative approach for mucin 1 detection using a visible multicolor aptasensor. Urease-encapsulated DNA microspheres were used to mediate multicolor change facilitated by the color mixing of the mixed pH indicator, a mixed methyl red and bromocresol green solution. Distinct color changes were exhibited in response to varying mucin 1 concentrations. Notably, the color mixing of the mixed pH indicator was used to display various hues of colors, broadening the range of color variation. And color tonality is much easier to differentiate than color intensity, improving the resolution with naked-eyes. Besides, the variation of color from red to green (a pair of complementary colors) enhanced the color contrast, heightening sensitivity for visual detection. Importantly, the proposed method was successfully applied to detect mucin 1 in real samples, demonstrating a clear differentiation of colors between the samples of healthy individuals and breast cancer patients. The use of a mixed pH indicator as a multichromatic substrate offers the merits of low cost, fast response to pH variation, and plentiful color-evolution. And the incorporation of calcium carbonate microspheres to encapsulate urease ensures stable urease activity and avoids the need for extra urease decoration. The color-mixing dependent strategy opens a new way for multicolor detection of MUC1, characterized by vivid color changes.
