Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Amyloid-β oligomers (AβO) are crucial biomarkers for early Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis.
  • Sensitive and specific detection methods for AβO are vital for AD research and clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a label-free electrochemical aptasensor for sensitive and specific detection of AβO.
  • To optimize the aptasensor design and signal transduction for improved Alzheimer's disease diagnostics.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized stem-loop aptamer probes functionalized with ferrocene (Fc) immobilized on a gold substrate.
  • Employed alternating current voltammetry (ACV) for amperometric detection of AβO binding.
  • Optimized aptasensor parameters including probe structure, ferrocene terminals, aptamer concentration, and ACV frequency.

Main Results:

  • The developed aptasensor demonstrated high selectivity and subpicomolar sensitivity for AβO detection.
  • A broad dynamic detection range spanning six orders of magnitude was achieved.
  • Optimized ACV frequency further reduced the detection limit, albeit with a narrower range.

Conclusions:

  • The label-free electrochemical aptasensor provides a robust platform for quantifying AβO concentrations.
  • This technology holds promise for advancing Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and facilitating pharmacological studies.
