description | To overcome early cancer detection challenges, diagnostic tools enabling more sensitive, rapid, and noninvasive detection are necessary. An attractive cancer target for diagnostic blood tests is human Ecto-NOX disulfide–thiol exchanger 2 (ENOX2), expressed in most human cancer types and regularly shed into blood sera. Here, we developed an electrochemical DNA-based (E-DNA) biosensor that rapidly detects physiologically relevant levels of ENOX2. To identify ENOX2-binding aptamers that could potentially be used in a biosensor, recombinantly expressed ENOX2 was used as a binding target in an oligonucleotide library pull-down that generated a highly enriched ENOX2-binding aptamer. This candidate aptamer sensitively bound ENOX2 via gel mobility shift assays. To enable this aptamer to function in an ENOX2 E-DNA biosensor, the aptamer sequence was modified to adopt two conformations, one capable of ENOX2 binding, and one with disrupted ENOX2 binding. Upon ENOX2 introduction, a conformational shift to the ENOX2 binding state resulted in changed dynamics of a redox reporter molecule, which generated a rapid, significant, and target-specific electrical current readout change. ENOX2 biosensor sensitivity was at or below the diagnostic range. The ENOX2 E-DNA biosensor design presented here may enable the development of more sensitive, rapid, diagnostic tools for early cancer detection. |
