Abstract
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) can be used as a biomarker for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and sepsis. In this study, we demonstrated the ability of nanozymes to displace the natural derived enzyme in enzyme-based assays for the measurement of LPC. Synthesized polyvinylpyrrolidone-stabilized platinum-ruthenium nanozymes (PVP/PtRu NZs) had auniform size of 2.48 ± 0.24nm and superb peroxidase-mimicking activity. We demonstrated that the nanozymes had high activity over a wide pH and temperature range and high stability after long-term storage. The LPC concentration could be accurately analyzed through the absorbance and fluorescence signals generated by the peroxidation reaction using the synthesized nanozyme with substrates such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine (Ampliflu™ Red). LPC at a concentration of 0-400µM was used for the analysis, and the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.977, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 23.1µM by colorimetric assay. In the fluorometric assay, the R2 was 0.999, and the LOD was 8.97µM. The spiked recovery values for the determination of LPC concentration in human serum samples were 102-115%. Based on these results, we declared that PVP/PtRu NZs had anability comparable to that of the native enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the enzyme-based LPC detection method.
