Subsequently, this method was applied to model exosomes derived from cell lines and healthy human serum, and the peak attributions of exosomes were identified using DiI labeled exosomes and lysed exosomes. The reproducibility of this method in exosome detection was also validated, as the RSDs of all pI values were less than 1%. Then, we observed a significant increase in the pI of exosomes with higher cholesterol content, irrespective of whether they originated from cell culture medium or mouse plasma. Notably, serum exosomes from healthy volunteers exhibited higher pI values compared to those from hepatocellular carcinoma patients, suggesting a potential diagnostic perspective for cancer. These findings underscore the significance of pI measurement in reflecting modifications in exosomal lipid membrane composition and their implications in biological functions mediated by exosomes.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142778108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanism of mCarba PBP hinges on two core attributes: (i) the hydrolysis of the meropenem substrate by various carbapenemases, (ii) the immobilized penicillin and free meropenem in their affinity to interact with a limited quantity of penicillin-binding protein (PBP). Specific inhibitors for class A (phenylboronic acid, PBA) and class B (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA) were employed to inhibit the hydrolysis activity of carbapenemase and facilitate the classification of carbapenemase classes within 25 min. A comprehensive evaluation was undertaken using 94 clinical <i>Enterobacterales</i> isolates, comprising 75 carbapenemase-producing strains and 19 non-carbapenemase-producing strains. Its overall specificity and sensitivity were 100% and 97.3%, respectively, including detection of all types of OXA-48-like carbapenemases. For precise carbapenemase type identification, the assay exhibited remarkable sensitivities for class A, class B, and class D detection at 94.7%, 100%, and 100%, respectively.

This was further combined with TiO₂ to create a tightly bonded TiO₂/Au-C₃N₄ heterojunction, leading to a highly responsive photocatalytic process. Furthermore, the incorporation of noble metal Au NPs not only enhances photocurrent generation but also securely immobilizes the aptamer through Au–S bonds, providing additional surface binding sites. This significantly increases the sensor's capture efficiency. The sensor exhibited excellent performance, featuring a linear detection range from 10<sup>−15</sup> to 10<sup>−11</sup> g/mL and a remarkably low detection limit (LOD) of 0.33 fg/mL. Moreover, the validation in clinical settings demonstrated the successful detection in real cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma, from AD patients and non-AD controls.
