This study developed a novel colorimetric method using DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles for simultaneous detection of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺. This technique accurately quantifies iron ions in biological samples, offering a promising tool for ferroptosis research.

Area of Science:

  • Nanomaterials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Iron ions (Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺) play critical roles in biological processes, including ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death.
  • Accurate and simultaneous detection of different iron oxidation states is crucial for understanding cellular iron metabolism and disease mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel dual-substrate colorimetric method for the simultaneous discrimination and quantitative detection of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺.
  • To functionalize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to create a sensing platform.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized and characterized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with ssDNA (AuNPs-ssDNA).
  • Utilized the peroxidase-mimicking activity of AuNPs with dual substrates (o-phenylenediamine and 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole) to generate differential colorimetric responses.

  • Applied multivariate calibration models for quantitative analysis of iron ions.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved simultaneous discrimination and quantitative detection of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ with a linear detection range of 0.01–100 μM.
    • Confirmed that ssDNA functionalization did not negatively impact AuNP dispersity or morphology.
    • Successfully applied the method to detect iron ion concentrations in A549 cells treated with a ferroptosis inducer, showing high consistency with a commercial kit.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed AuNPs-ssDNA based colorimetric method provides a sensitive and selective approach for simultaneous Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ detection.
    • This method demonstrates significant potential for practical applications in complex biological systems, particularly in ferroptosis research.
    • The combination of nanomaterials and colorimetric detection offers a valuable tool for cellular iron analysis.
