SUMMARY:Seminar - Nako Nakatsuka
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Centre Broca Nouvelle-Aquitaine \n\nNako Nakatsuka\nLaboratory of Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB)\nETH Zürich\nhttps://lbb.ethz.ch/the-group/principal-investigator/nakatsuka-nako.html \nInvited by Clémentine Bosch Bouju (NutriNeuro) \nTitle\nAptamer-based biosensors for ex vivo neurotransmitter monitoring  \nAbstract\nAdvancing our understanding of brain (dys)function necessitates novel nanotools that can monitor chemical signaling with high spatial resolutions. While advanced methods to record electrical signaling from neurons are prevalent (e.g.\, microelectrode arrays\, MEAs)\, tools to monitor chemical signaling have been limited. We have tackled this challenge by coupling the inherent selectivity of DNA-based recognition elements termed aptamers\, with nanoscale pipettes with openings of ca. 10 nm. Aptamers are systematically designed oligonucleotide receptors that exhibit highly specific and selective recognition of targets. Aptamers that recognize small-molecule neurotransmitters\, including serotonin and dopamine\, have recently been isolated. Upon reversible target binding\, aptamers undergo a rearrangement of the negatively charged backbone\, and these dynamic structural changes can be transduced as measurable changes in current through the nanoscale orifice of the sensors. Nanoscale confinement of the sensor surface results in single-molecule sensitivity while simultaneously reducing biofouling for long-term recordings in complex environments\, overcoming a critical bottleneck for clinical biosensors. We have demonstrated the capacity to detect physiologically relevant differences in neurotransmitter amounts released by live neurons in complex media with unprecedented sensitivity. Further\, through seamless integration into patch clamp setups\, our sensors have been deployed to track endogenous dopamine release in acute brain slices. Through collaboration\, we are currently tracking serotonin while simultaneously recording electrical responses in acute mouse embryonic hindbrain–spinal cord preparations isolated on MEAs. Thus\, we demonstrate the translatability of these sensors to other neuroscience groups and the possibility to conduct continuous recordings in localized regions with nanoscale resolution. \nKey publications\nWeaver S\, Mohammadi MH\, Nakatsuka N.
