Oncoprotein platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is one of the most critical growth factors that regulates tumor growth and division. In this work, a highly sensitive and selective fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) aptasensor for PDGF-BB detection based on the assembly of dye-labeled aptamer and graphene oxide (GO) is developed for the first time. Due to the non-covalent assembly between aptamer and GO, fluorescence quenching of the dye takes place because of FRET. In the presence of PDGF-BB, the binding between aptamer and PDGF-BB will disturb the interaction between aptamer and GO, and release the dye-labeled aptamer from the GO surface, resulting in restoration of the fluorophore fluorescence. Because of the high fluorescence quenching efficiency, unique structure, and electronic properties of GO, the GO aptasensor exhibits extraordinarily high sensitivity. We also demonstrate that two highly related molecular variants of PDGF (AA, AB) can be distinguished from PDGF-BB, which indicates the aptasensor has excellent selectivity. Such an aptasensor opens a rapid, selective and sensitive route for the detection of PDGF-BB and provides a promising strategy for other cancer-related proteins detections.
