Abstract:
Detecting of hyaluronidase (HAase) activity is vital in oncology as it drives tumor invasion and metastasis by degrading hyaluronic acid (HA) in the extracellular matrix. In this study, combining a target-responsive hydrogel with magnetic nanozymes, a novel colorimetric sensor was designed for HAase quantification. The composite of Fe₃O₄ and MoS₂ (Fe3O4@MoS2) has magnetism activity and strong peroxidase-like activity, simultaneously has embedded in a hydrogel matrix format from HA, the presence of HAase can specific hydrolysis HA, and caused the rupture of the hydrogel and results in the releasing of the Fe3O4@MoS2. The released Fe3O4@MoS2 can be collected through magnetic separation easily and then applied to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2, producing a distinct color change, which can be detected by naked eyes easily. The absorbance of the system had a good linear response with HAase concentration within the range of 2.5–90 U/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.4 U/mL (S/N = 3). The proposed sensor was successfully applied to detect HAase in serum samples from healthy individuals and pancreatic cancer patients, yielding satisfactory results. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
