ABSTRACT

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a malignant tumor with high prevalence in Southeast Asia and highly invasive and metastatic characteristics. Radiotherapy is the primary strategy for NPC treatment, however there is still lack of effect method for predicting the radioresistance that is the main reason for treatment failure. Herein, the molecular profiles of patient plasma from NPC with radiotherapy sensitivity and resistance groups as well as healthy group, respectively, were explored by label-free surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on surface plasmon resonance for the first time. Especially, the components with different molecular weight sizes were analyzed via the separation process, helping to avoid the possible missing of diagnostic information due to the competitive adsorption. Following that, robust machine learning algorithm based on principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) was employed to extract the feature of blood-SERS data and establish an effective predictive model with the accuracy of 96.7% for identifying the radiotherapy resistance subjects from sensitivity ones, and 100% for identifying the NPC subjects from healthy ones. This work demonstrates the potential of molecular separation-assisted label-free SERS combined with machine learning for NPC screening and treatment strategy guidance in clinical scenario.

ABSTRACT

Precise measurement of the binding activity changes of therapeutic antibodies is important to determine the potential critical quality attributes (CQAs) in developability assessment at the early stage of antibody development. Here, we report a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based relative binding activity method, which incorporates both binding affinity and binding response and allows us to determine relative binding activity of antibodies with high accuracy and precision. We applied the SPR-based relative binding activity method in multiple forced degradation studies of antibody developability assessment. The current developability assessment strategy provided comprehensive, precise characterization of antibody binding activity in the stability studies, enabling us to perform correlation analysis and establish the structure-function relationship between relative binding activity and quality attributes. The impact of a given quality attribute on binding activity could be confidently determined without isolating antibody variants. We identified several potential CQAs, including Asp isomerization, Asn deamidation, and fragmentation. Some potential CQAs affected binding affinity of antibody and resulted in a reduction of binding activity. Certain potential CQAs impaired antibody binding to antigen and led to a loss of binding activity. A few potential CQAs could influence both binding affinity and binding response and cause a substantial decrease in antibody binding activity. Specifically, we identified low abundance Asn33 deamidation in the light chain complementarity-determining region as a potential CQA, in which all the stressed antibody samples showed Asn33 deamidation abundances ranging from 4.2% to 27.5% and a mild binding affinity change from 1.76 nM to 2.16 nM.

ABSTRACT

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are critical for treatment of a wide range of diseases. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most predominant form of mAb but is prone to aggregation during production. Detection and removal of IgG aggregates are time-consuming and laborious. Chromatography is central for purification of biopharmaceuticals in general and essential in the production of mAbs. Protein purification systems are usually equipped with detectors for monitoring pH, UV absorbance, and conductivity, to facilitate optimization and control of the purification process. However, specific in-line detection of the target products and contaminating species, such as aggregates, is currently not possible using convectional techniques. Here we show a novel fiber optical in-line sensor, based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), for specific detection of IgG and IgG aggregates during affinity chromatography. A flow cell with a Protein A sensor chip was connected to the outlet of the affinity column connected to three different chromatography systems operating at lab scale to pilot scale. Samples containing various IgG concentrations and aggregate contents were analyzed in-line during purification on a Protein A column using both pH gradient and isocratic elution. Because of avidity effects, IgG aggregates showed slower dissociation kinetics than monomers after binding to the sensor chips. Possibilities to detect aggregate concentrations below 1 % and difference in aggregate content smaller than 0.3 % between samples were demonstrated. In-line detection of aggregates can circumvent time-consuming off-line analysis and facilitate automation and process intensification.

ABSTRACT

This work explores the transformative role of graphene in enhancing the performance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensors. The motivation for this review stems from the growing interest in the unique properties of graphene, such as high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and versatile functionalization capabilities, which offer significant potential to improve the sensitivity, specificity, and stability of SPR biosensors. This review systematically analyzes studies published between 2010 and 2023, covering key metrics of biosensor performance. The findings reveal that the integration of graphene consistently enhances sensitivity. Specificity, although less frequently reported numerically, showed promising results, with high specificity achieved at sub-nanomolar concentrations. Stability enhancements are also significant, attributed to the protective properties of graphene and improved biomolecule adsorption. Future research should focus on mechanistic insights, optimization of integration techniques, practical application testing, scalable fabrication methods, and comprehensive comparative studies. Our findings provide a foundation for future research, aiming to further optimize and harness the unique physical properties of graphene to meet the demands of sensitive, specific, stable, and rapid biosensing in various practical applications.

ABSTRACT

The detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is critical in diagnosing hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, existing clinical detection technologies inevitably cause certain inaccuracies, leading to delayed or unwarranted treatment. Here, we introduce a label-free plasmonic biosensing method based on the thickness-sensitive plasmonic coupling, combined with supervised deep learning (DL) using neural networks. The strategy of utilizing neural networks to process output data can reduce the limit of detection (LOD) of the sensor and significantly improve the accuracy (from 93.1%-97.4% to 99%-99.6%). Compared with widely used emerging clinical technologies, our platform achieves accurate decisions with higher sensitivity in a short assay time (∼30 min). The integration of DL models considerably simplifies the readout procedure, resulting in a substantial decrease in processing time. Our findings offer a promising avenue for developing high-precision molecular detection tools for point-of-care (POC) applications.

ABSTRACT

An optical fiber sensing probe using a composite sensitive film of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membrane and gold nanomembrane is presented for the detection of a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a biomarker associated with colorectal cancer and other diseases. The probe is based on a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) with a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) gold nanomembrane and a functionalized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) PAN nanofiber coating that selectively binds to CEA molecules. The performance of the probe is evaluated by measuring the spectral shift of the TFBG resonances as a function of CEA concentration in buffer. The probe exhibits a sensitivity of 0.46 dB/(µg/ml), a low limit of detection of 505.4 ng/mL in buffer, and a good selectivity and reproducibility. The proposed probe offers a simple, cost-effective, and a novel method for CEA detection that can be potentially applied for clinical diagnosis and monitoring of CEA-related diseases.

ABSTRACT

The conical fiber SPR sensor is easy to manufacture and has been used in biochemical detection research, but it has the problem of structural fragility. This article proposes a spiral cone fiber SPR sensor, which introduces a spiral structure on the 76µm fiber coarse cone, achieving good coupling of the core mode into the cladding mode, and improving the physical strength and practicality of the cone-shaped fiber SPR sensor. By modifying the target protein on the surface of the sensor gold film, specific detection of ginsenoside Rg1, an active ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine ginseng, was achieved. The detection sensitivity was 0.138 nm/(µm/ml) and the detection limit was 0.22µm/ml. The proposed spiral cone fiber SPR sensor provides a new scheme for the specific detection of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, which is structurally stable and physically strong.

ABSTRACT

Dopamine is one of the significant neurotransmitters and its monitoring in biological fluids is a critical issue in healthcare and modern biomedical technology. Here, we have developed a dopamine biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). For this purpose, the carboxymethyl dextran SPR chip was used as a surface to immobilize laccase as a bioaffinity recognition element. Data analysis exhibited that the acidic pH value is the optimal condition for dopamine interaction. Calculated kinetic affinity (KD) (48,545 nM), obtained from a molecular docking study, showed strong association of dopamine with the active site of laccase. The biosensor exhibited a linearity from 0.01 to 189 µg/ml and a lower detection limit of 0.1 ng/ml (signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) = 3) that is significantly higher than the most direct dopamine detecting sensors reported so far. Experiments for specificity in the presence of compounds that can co-exist with dopamine detection such as ascorbic acid, urea and L-dopa showed no significant interference. The current dopamine biosensor with high sensitivity and specificity, represent a novel detection tool that offers a label-free, simple procedure and cost effective monitoring system.

ABSTRACT

Long-stranded non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have important roles in disease as transcriptional regulators, mRNA processing regulators and protein synthesis factors. However, traditional methods for detecting lncRNA are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the functions of lncRNA are still being explored. Here, we present a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based biosensor for the detection of lncRNA associated with liver cancer (LC) as well as in situ cellular imaging. Using the dual SERS probes, quantitative detection of lncRNA (DAPK1-215) can be achieved with an ultra-low detection limit of 952 aM by the target-triggered assembly of core-satellite nanostructures. And the reliability of this assay can be further improved with the R2 value of 0.9923 by an internal standard probe that enables the signal dynamic calibration. Meanwhile, the high expression of DAPK1-215 mainly distributed in the cytoplasm was observed in LC cells compared with the normal ones using the SERS imaging method. Moreover, results of cellular function assays showed that DAPK1-215 promoted the migration and invasion of LC by significantly reducing the expression of the structural domain of death associated protein kinase. The development of this biosensor based on SERS can provide a sensitive and specific method for exploring the expression of lncRNA that would be a potential biomarker for the screening of LC.

ABSTRACT

The beta-galactoside-binding mammalian lectin galectin-1 can bind, via its carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), to various cell surface glycoproteins and has been implicated in a range of cancers. As a consequence of binding to sugar residues on cell surface receptors, it has been shown to have a pleiotropic effect across many cell types and mechanisms, resulting in immune system modulation and cancer progression. As a result, it has started to become a therapeutic target for both small and large molecules. In previous studies, we used fluorescence polarization (FP) assays to determine KD values to screen and triage small molecule glycomimetics that bind to the galectin-1 CRD. In this study, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to compare human and mouse galectin-1 affinity measures with FP, as SPR has not been applied for compound screening against this galectin. Binding affinities for a selection of mono- and di-saccharides covering a 1000-fold range correlated well between FP and SPR assay formats for both human and mouse galectin-1. It was shown that slower dissociation drove the increased affinity at human galectin-1, whilst faster association was responsible for the effects in mouse galectin-1. This study demonstrates that SPR is a sound alternative to FP for early drug discovery screening and determining affinity estimates. Consequently, it also allows association and dissociation constants to be measured in a high-throughput manner for small molecule galectin-1 inhibitors.

ABSTRACT

Functional characterization of enzymes/proteins requires determination of the binding affinity of small molecules or other biomolecules with the target proteins. Several available techniques, such as proteomics and drug discovery strategies, require a precise and high-throughput assay for rapid and reliable screening of potential candidates for further testing. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR), a well-established label-free technique, directly measures biomolecular affinities. SPR assays require immobilization of one interacting component (ligand) on a conductive metal (mostly gold or silver) and a continuous flow of solution containing potential binding partner (analyte) across the surface. The SPR phenomenon occurs when polarized light excites the electrons at the interface of the metal and the dielectric medium to generate electromagnetic waves that propagate parallel to the surface. Changes in the refractive index due to interaction between the ligand and analyte are measured by detecting the reflected light, providing real-time data on kinetics and specificity. A prominent use of SPR is identifying compounds in crude plant extracts that bind to specific molecules. Procedures that utilize SPR are becoming increasingly applicable outside the laboratory setting, and SPR imaging and localized SPR (LSPR) are cheaper and more portable alternative for in situ detection of plant or mammalian pathogens and drug discovery studies. LSPR, in particular, has the advantage of direct attachment to test tissues in live-plant studies. Here, we describe three protocols utilizing SPR-based assays for precise analysis of protein-ligand interactions. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol 1: SPR comparison of binding affinities of viral reverse transcriptase polymorphisms Basic Protocol 2: SPR screening of crude plant extract for protein-binding agents Basic Protocol 3: Localized SPR-based antigen detection using antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT

The analytical determination of opiates in biological samples is a critical mission and remains a challenge for almost all judicial and clinical drug testing panels due to their high abuse potential. Based on the high sensitivity of the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak of gold nanorods (AuNRs), we successfully developed a novel and simple refractive index sensing platform for detection of morphine (MOR) and codeine (COD) by means of 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole functionalized gold nanorods (AMTD-AuNRs) in aqueous solution, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report on the assay of MOR and COD using AuNRs. AMTD molecules strongly anchor onto the tips of AuNRs via the mercapto group and subsequent hydrogen-bonding interactions between AMTD and the analytes induced end-to-end chain assembly of AuNRs and a consequent decrease of the LSPR absorption band at 850 nm along with a bathochromic shift and emergence of a new hybridized plasmon mode at 1050 nm which was characterized using a Vis-NIR spectrophotometer. After systematic optimization, the absorbance ratio (A1050/A850) was proportional to the concentration of MOR in the ranges of 0.08-5 µM and 0.2-8 µM for COD without any significant effect from possible interferents. Furthermore, detection limits of 40 and 62 nM were achieved for MOR and COD, respectively, which are much lower than the cut-off level of 2000 ng mL-1 for opiates in urine samples set by the Substance and Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Eventually, as proof-of-applicability, human urine and blood serum samples spiked with MOR and COD were analyzed and excellent recoveries ranging from 94.4 to 108.9% were obtained, demonstrating the successful applicability of the designed refractive index probe in real biological specimens.

ABSTRACT

Ion channels are transmembrane proteins essential for cellular functions and are important drug targets. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a powerful technique for investigating protein-protein and protein-small molecule ligand interactions. SPR has been underutilized for studies of ion channels, even though it could provide a wealth of information on the mechanisms of ion channel regulation and aid in ion channel drug discovery. Here we provide a detailed description of the use of SPR technology for investigating inter-domain interactions in KCNH potassium-selective and voltage-gated ion channels.

ABSTRACT

In this study, a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was developed to detect microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) with high sensitivity by leveraging the combined mechanisms of resonance energy transfer (RET) and surface plasmon coupling (SPC). Initially, the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) were coated with Cu-Zn-In-S quantum dots (CZIS QDs), known for their defect-related emission suitable for ECL sensing. Subsequently, a hairpin DNA H3 with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) attached at the end was modified over the surface of the quantum dots. The Au NPs could effectively quench the ECL signals of CZIS QDs via RET. Further, a significant amount of report DNA was generated through the action of a 3D DNA walker. When the report DNA opened H3-Au NPs, the hairpin structure experienced a conformational change to a linear shape, increasing the gap between the CZIS QDs and the Au NPs. Consequently, the localized surface plasmon resonance ECL (LSPR-ECL) effect replaced ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET). Moreover, the report DNA was released following the addition of H4-Au NPs, resulting in the formation of Au dimers and a surface plasma-coupled ECL (SPC-ECL) effect that enhanced the ECL intensity to 6.97-fold. The integration of new ECL-RET and SPC-ECL biosensor accurately quantified miRNA-21 concentrations from 10-8 M to 10-16 M with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.08 fM, as well as successfully applied to validate human serum samples.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Yersinia pestis is a bacterium that causes the disease plague. It has caused the deaths of many people throughout history. The bacterium possesses several virulence factors (pPla, pFra, and PYV). PFra plasmid encodes fraction 1 (F1) capsular antigen. F1 protein protects the bacterium against host immune cells through phagocytosis process. This protein is specific for Y. pestis. Many diagnostic techniques are based on molecular and serological detection and quantification of F1 protein in different food and clinical samples. Aptamers are small nucleic acid sequences that can act as specific ligands for many targets.This study, aimed to isolate the high-affinity ssDNA aptamers against F1 protein. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, SELEX was used as the main strategy in screening aptamers. Moreover, enzyme-linked aptamer sorbent assay (ELASA) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) were used to determine the affinity and specificity of obtained aptamers to F1 protein. The analysis showed that among the obtained aptamers, the three aptamers of Yer 21, Yer 24, and Yer 25 were selected with a KD value of 1.344E - 7, 2.004E - 8, and 1.68E - 8 M, respectively. The limit of detection (LoD) was found to be 0.05, 0.076, and 0.033 µg/ml for Yer 21, Yer 24, and Yer 25, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the synthesized aptamers could serve as effective tools for detecting and analyzing the F1 protein, indicating their potential value in future diagnostic applications.

ABSTRACT

Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin, a water-soluble metabolite produced by Fusarium cepacia, which mainly contaminates grain and its products and is acutely toxic and potentially carcinogenic to certain domestic animals. In this work, plasma nanocomposites of Fe3O4@Cu@Cu2O with magnetic and optoelectronic properties were synthesized as a sensing platform. On one hand, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of metallic Cu accelerates the electron transfer rate. On the other hand, plasma-induced resonance energy transfer of metals and semiconductors can improve the utilization efficiency of light energy. A split photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on Fe3O4@Cu@Cu2O was proposed for the detection of FB1. The sensor has a wide linear range of 1.0-10 000 pg mL-1 and a low detection limit of 0.28 pg mL-1 (LOD, S/N = 3), which can realize the specific detection of FB1 in real samples.

ABSTRACT

The design of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors has been greatly enhanced in recent years by the advancements in the production and integration of nanostructures, leading to more compact and efficient devices. There have been reports of novel SPR sensors having distinct nanostructures, either as signal amplification tags like gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or as sensing substrate-like two-dimensional (2D) materials including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), MXene, black phosphorus (BP), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and antimonene. Such 2D-based SPR biosensors offer advantages over conventional sensors due to significant increases in their sensitivity with a good figure of merit and limit of detection (LOD). Due to their atomically thin structure, improved sensitivity, and sophisticated functionalization capabilities, 2D materials can open up new possibilities in the field of healthcare, particularly in point-of-care diagnostics, environmental and food monitoring, homeland security protection, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and flexible or transient bioelectronics. The present study articulates an in-depth analysis of the most recent developments in 2D material-based SPR sensor technology. Moreover, in-depth research of 2D materials, their integration with optoelectronic technology for a new sensing platform, and the predicted and experimental outcomes of various excitation approaches are highlighted, along with the principles of SPR biosensors. Furthermore, the review projects the potential prospects and future trends of these emerging materials-based SPR biosensors to advance in clinical diagnosis, healthcare biochemical, and biological applications.

ABSTRACT

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are preeminent carriers of biomarkers and have become the subject of intense biomedical research for medical diagnostics using biosensors. To create effective EV-based immunoassays, it is imperative to develop surface chemistry approaches with optimal EV detection targeting transmembrane protein biomarkers that are not affected by cell-to-cell variability. Here, we developed a series of immunoassays for the detection of EVs derived from mouse monocyte cells using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors. We chemically immobilized antibodies onto mixed self-assembled monolayers of oligo ethylene glycol (OEG) alkanethiolates with carboxylic and hydroxylic terminal groups. The effects of antibody clonality (monoclonal vs polyclonal) and antibody surface coverage in targeting EVs via CD81 tetraspanins were investigated. We determined binding kinetic parameters, establishing trends from steric hindrance effects and epitope recognition properties of antibodies. Our results indicate that a 40% surface coverage of polyclonal antibodies covalently linked onto a mixed SAM with 10% of terminated -COOH groups yields a promising approach for EV detection with a linear range of 1.9 × 108-1.9 × 109 EVs/mL and a limit of detection of 5.9 × 106 EVs/mL. This optimal immunoassay exhibits a 1.92 nM equilibrium dissociation constant for bound EVs, suggesting a high binding affinity when CD81 is targeted. Our study provides important insights into surface chemistry development for EV detection targeted via transmembrane protein biomarkers using antibodies, which has promising applications for disease diagnostics.

ABSTRACT

Programmed cell death-ligand 1 positive (PD-L1+) exosomes play a crucial role in the realm of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, due to the intricate nature of biological specimens, coupled with the heterogeneity, low refractive index (RI), and scant surface coverage density of exosomes, traditional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors still do not meet clinical detection requirements. This study utilizes the exceptional electrical and optical attributes of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as the substrate for SPR sensing, thereby markedly enhancing sensitivity. Furthermore, sp2 hybridized SWCNTs have the ability to load specific recognition elements. Additionally, through the coordination interaction of Ti with phosphate groups and the ferromagnetism of Fe3O4, efficient exosomes isolation and enrichment in complex samples are achievable with the aid of an external magnetic field. Owing to the high-quality and high-RI of Fe3O4@TiO2, the response signal experiences amplification, thus further improving the performance of the SPR biosensor. The linear range of the SPR biosensor constructed by this method is 1.0 × 103 to 1.0 × 107 particles/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 31.9 particles/mL. In the analysis of clinical serum samples, cancer patients can be differentiated from healthy individuals with an Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.9835. This study not only establishes a novel platform for exosomes direct detection but also offers new perspectives for the sensitive detection of other biomarkers.
