摘要
A H_(2)O_(2)-triggered stimulus response electrochemiluminescence(ECL)sensor for sensitive detection of cancer cells using mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs)has been proposed.ECL signal-generating molecules(Ru(phen)32+)were encap-sulated into phenylboronic acid group-functionalized MSNs(PBA-MSNs)porous and capped by polyhydroxy functioned Au nanoparticles(AuNPs)through the interaction of carbohydrate-boronic acid first.Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)were applied to characterize the materials.The proposed controlled release sensing platform shows approximately no leakage from the mesoporrs of MSNs after a long time of storage.Cancer cells are initially incubated with the functionalized MSNs and then treated with ascorbic acid to endogenously produce H_(2)O_(2).Arylboronic esters in the MSNs surface can be oxidized by the produced H_(2)O_(2),causing the releasing of the molecule from MSNs and increased ECL signal.This technique displayed an excellent measurement for the breast cancer cells’sensitive diagnosis with a detection limit of 208 cells/mL.The phenomenon suggests that this sensing platform may be potentially applied for breast cancer sensitive detection in the future.
