摘要

Golgi protein 73 (GP73) is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and considered a sensitive serum biomarker for HCC diagnosis. Herein, a label-free electrochemical aptasensor for ultrasensitive detection GP73 based on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide-ferrocene-platinum@palladium nanoparticles (NRGO-Fc-Pt@Pd NPs) was constructed. The NRGO-Fc-Pt@Pd NPs offered excellent conductivity, biocompatibility, and large surface area, serving as both an electrode modifier and a redox probe due to Fc's good electroactivity. GP73 aptamer (GP73Apt) was covalently bound with the NRGO-Fc-Pt@Pd NPs to form the signal probe. When GP73 specifically bound to GP73Apt to form GP73-GP73Apt complex and fell off from the electrode, it leads to an increased Fc(Fe(II)/Fe(III)) peak current in differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) due to the enhancing of the sensing interface's electroactivity. Under optimized conditions, the label-free electrochemical aptasensor demonstrated a linear relationship with GP73 concentration in the range 1.0 ng/mL-300 ng/mL, with R2 of 0.99594 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.3524 ng/mL. In addition, the aptasensor showed good specificity, reproducibility, and stability. Furthermore, the developed aptasensor was applied to detect the GP73 in actual serum samples with good recoveries (97.85%-107.48%) and relative standard deviations (RSDs) (0.37%–7.85%) via the spiked recovery method. All the results may provide a new approach for HCC clinical detection.
