ADAM-17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17) plays an important role in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. Overexpression/underexpression of ADAM-17 could lead to various diseases. In this work, by taking advantage of ionic strength and salt gradient, and monitoring the enzymatic cleavage reaction between a substrate peptide and ADAM-17 in a nanopore, we developed a label-free sensor for the rapid detection of ADAM-17. The sensor was highly sensitive and selective: picomolar concentrations of ADAM-17 could be detected within minutes, whereas structurally similar proteases such as ADAM-9 and MMP-9 did not interfere with its detection. Given the importance of MMPs/ADAMs as valuable biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for the early detection and treatment of human cancers, the nanopore-based protease detection strategy developed in this work may find potential applications in disease diagnosis and drug screening.
