ABSTRACT
Capture of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with high efficiency and high purity holds great value for potential clinical applications. Besides the existing problems of contamination from blood cells and plasma proteins, unknown/down-regulated expression of targeting markers (e.g., antigen, receptor, etc.) of CTCs have questioned the reliability and general applicability of current CTCs capture methodologies based on immune/aptamer-affinity. Herein, a cell-engineered strategy is designed to break down such barriers by employing the cell metabolism as the leading force to solve key problems. Generally, through an extracellular vesicle generation way, the cell-released magnetic vesicles inherited parent cellular membrane characteristics are produced, and then functionalized with dibenzoazacyclooctyne to target and isolate the metabolic labeled rare CTCs. This strategy offers good reliability and broader possibilities to capture different types of tumor cells, as proven by the capture efficiency above 84% and 82% for A549 and HepG2 cell lines as well as an extremely low detection limitation of 5 cells. Moreover, it enabled high purity enrichment of CTCs from 1 mL blood samples of tumor-bearing mice, only ≈5-757 white blood cells are non-specific caught, ignoring the potential phenotypic fluctuation associated with the cancer progression.
