摘要
5-carboxycytosine (5caC) plays a critical role as an intermediate form in DNA methylation and demethylation processes. Its distribution and quantity significantly influence the dynamic equilibrium of these processes, thereby impacting the normal physiological activities of organisms. However, the analysis of 5caC presents a significant challenge due to its low abundance in the genome, making it almost undetectable in most tissues. In response to this challenge, we propose a selective method for 5caC detection using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at glassy carbon electrode (GCE), hinging on probe labeling. The probe molecule Biotin LC-Hydrazide was introduced into the target base and the labeled DNA was immobilized onto the electrode surface with the help of T4 polynucleotide kinase (T4 PNK). Leveraging the precise and efficient recognition of streptavidin and biotin, streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (SA-HRP) on the surface of the electrode catalyzed a redox reaction involving hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide, resulting in an amplified current signal. This procedure allowed us to quantitatively detect 5caC based on variations in current signals. This method demonstrated good linearity ranging from 0.01 to 100 nM with a detection limit as low as 7.9 pM. We have successfully applied it to evaluate the 5caC levels in complex biological samples. The probe labeling contributes to a high selectivity for 5caC detection, while the sulfhydryl modification via T4 PNK efficiently circumvents the limitation of specific sequences. Encouragingly, no reports have been made about electrochemical methods for detecting 5caC in DNA, suggesting that our method offers a promising alternative for 5caC detection in clinical samples.
