Lipoproteins are composed of lipid and apolipoproteins in conjunction with noncovalent bonds. Different lipoprotein categories, particularly Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) disagree in roles for the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disease, and their exact discrimination are critically required. Herein, a multiplexed sensor platform combined with an encoder system is introduced for accurate analysis of multiple lipoproteins in complex matrix. Three encoders, i.e., bare AuNPs, AuNPs-anti-LDL aptamer (AuNPs-apt) and AuNPs-non-aptamer DNA (AuNPs-n), facilitate precise discrimination for lipoprotein subclasses at a fairly low level of 0.490 nM. The binding of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with AuNPs prevents them from gathering in a relatively higher level of salt. In targets stimuli, the weaker binding between ssDNA and AuNPs is destroyed to certain degrees depending on the differential affinities among DNA, AuNPs, and multifarious proteins. It results in distinct aggregation states of encoders to cause diverse ultraviolet absorption, which may be statistically characterized to achieve highly facile and precise identification for lipoprotein subclasses. Remarkably, LDL at 0.05–37.5 μg/mL could be identified by the encoder system. 11 typical proteins including three lipoprotein subclasses in human serum were also precisely discriminated. Furthermore, the accurate identification of lipoprotein subclasses with different molar ratios from real clinical serum samples were obtained.
