The aim of this work is to describe the first example of aptameric molecular beacon (MB)-based probe for the detection of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO-alpha) in physiological buffer, using a novel 35 nt ssDNA aptamer (807-35 nt) originally isolated by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment (SELEX) technique in our laboratory. Both "Signal-on" and "Signal-off" MB modes were developed, respectively, in which the conformational alteration of aptamer before and after binding to rHuEPO-alpha can be demonstrated in terms of the correspondingly fluorescent changes. Comparing with "Signal-off" mode, "Signal-on" mode provided higher sensitivity, while with the addition of target rHuEPO-alpha, quenching between fluorescent 807-35 nt aptamer (F-Apt) and a short quencher-labeled complementary sequence (QDNA) was disturbed by the specific binding between rHuEPO-alpha and F-Apt. QDNA was thus loosened and released from F-Apt, leading to a consequently full fluorescent restoration. Systematic optimization of parameters in "Signal-on" mode were carried out, the choice of QDNA length, the hybridization site of a small supplementary DNA (SDNA) stabilizer, and the existence of Mg2+ cation played essential roles for the performance characterization. A convenient and sensitive determination of rHuEPO-alpha with a LOD of 0.4 nM was achieved. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
