Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a feasible and ultra-sensitive method for biomedical imaging and disease diagnosis. SERS is widely applied to in vivo imaging due to the development of functional nanoparticles encoded by Raman active molecules (SERS nanoprobes) and improvements in instruments. Herein, the recent developments in SERS active materials and their in vivo imaging and biosensing applications are overviewed. Various SERS substrates that have been successfully used for in vivo imaging are described. Then, the applications of SERS imaging in cancer detection and in vivo intraoperative guidance are summarized. The role of highly sensitive SERS biosensors in guiding the detection and prevention of diseases is discussed in detail. Moreover, its role in the identification and resection of microtumors and as a diagnostic and therapeutic platform is also reviewed. Finally, the progress and challenges associated with SERS active materials, equipment, and clinical translation are described. The present evidence suggests that SERS could be applied in clinical practice in the future.

[PMID: 34921990 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The present review focuses on the diagnosis of prostate cancer using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. On the basis of literature search, SERS-based analysis for prostate cancer detection of different sample types is reported in the present study. Prostate cancer is responsible for nearly one-tenth of all cell cancer deaths among men. Significant efforts have been dedicated to establish precise and sensitive monitoring techniques to detect prostate cancer biomarkers in different types of body samples. Among the various spectro-analytical techniques investigated to achieve this objective, SERS spectroscopy has been proven as a promising approach that provides noticeable enhancements of the Raman sensitivity when the target biomolecules interact with a nanostructured surface. The purpose of this review is to give a brief overview of the SERS-basedapproach and other spectro-analytical strategies being used for the detection and quantification of prostate cancer biomarkers. The revolutionary development of SERS methods for the diagnosis of prostate cancer has been discussed in more details based on the reported literature. It has been noticed that the SERS-based immunoassay presents reliable results for the prostate cancer quantification. The EC-SERS, which integrates electrochemistry with the SERS model, could also offer a potential ultrasensitive strategy, although its application in prostate cancer analysis has been still limited.

Abstract
Traditional chemical methods used to measure the zinc content in rice plants are time-consuming, laborious, requires reagents, and have a limited monitoring range, while the Raman spectroscopy method has the advantage of being fast, non-destructive, and requires no reagents. Unfortunately, the identification accuracy of the Raman partial least squares (PLS) model based on principal components is only 53.33%. To boost this, a One-Way ANOVA method was used to extract the characteristic variables in the Raman spectra. Based on these Raman variables, a model for identifying zinc stressed samples was established. The identification accuracy was improved to 70% but still fell short of the measurement requirements. To further enhance these results, the Raman spectrum was decomposed into components based on the Hilbert Vibration Decomposition (HVD) method. Using characteristic variables of the Raman spectrum and its HVD components to establish a PLS model, the identification accuracy of the test set is raised to 90.25%. These results are a significant improvement from those obtained using a model solely based on the Raman spectral characteristic variables, revealing that HVD components provide highly effective identification information. A Raman modeling method based on the characteristic variables of the HVD component is an innovative way for improving the accuracy of Raman detection, especially for the measurement of trace substances.

Abstract
Over the last 30 years, optical biosensors based on nanostructured materials have obtained increasing interest since they allow the screening of a wide variety of biomolecules with high specificity, low limits of detection, and great sensitivity. Among them, flexible optical platforms have the advantage of adapting to non-planar surfaces, suitable for in vivo and real-time monitoring of diseases and assessment of food safety. In this review, we summarize the newest and most advanced platforms coupling optically active materials (noble metal nanoparticles) and flexible substrates giving rise to hybrid nanomaterials and/or nanocomposites, whose performances are comparable to the ones obtained with hard substrates (e.g., glass and semiconductors). We focus on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based biosensors. We show that large-scale, cost-effective plasmonic platforms can be realized with the currently available techniques and we emphasize the open issues associated with this topic.

Abstract
Raman-enhanced spectroscopy (RESpect) probe, which enhances Raman spectroscopy technology through a portable fiber-optic device, characterizes tissues and cells by identifying molecular chemical composition showing distinct differences/similarities for potential tumor markers or diagnosis. In a feasibility study with the ultimate objective to translate the technology to the clinic, a panel of pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma tissues and non-malignant specimens had RS analyses compared between standard Raman spectroscopy microscope instrument and RESpect probe. Cryopreserved tissues were mounted on front-coated aluminum mirror slides and analyzed by standard Raman spectroscopy and RESpect probe. Principal Component Analysis revealed similarities between non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes but not follicular hyperplasia. Standard Raman spectroscopy and RESpect probe fingerprint comparisons demonstrated comparable primary peaks. Raman spectroscopic fingerprints and peaks of pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes and follicular hyperplasia provided novel avenues to pursue diagnostic approaches and identify potential new therapeutic targets. The information could inform new insights into molecular cellular pathogenesis. Translating Raman spectroscopy technology by using the RESpect probe as a potential point-of-care screening instrument has the potential to change the paradigm of screening for cancer as an initial step to determine when a definitive tissue biopsy would be necessary.

Abstract
As the concentration of Zn2+ in patients with prostate cancer is much less than that in healthy persons, Zn2+ concentration can be used as a marker to expediently screen prostate cancer. In this study, a sensitive and highly selective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method to detect Zn2+ concentration in human prostatic fluids by utilizing water-insoluble 2-carboxyl-2'-hydroxyl-5'-sulfoformazylbenze (Zincon) as a SERS probe based on self-assembled Au nanoarrays at a liquid-liquid interface between n-hexane and Au colloids was proposed. Zincon showed remarkably different SERS bands before and after coordinating Zn2+ in the controlled conditions (70 μL of ethanol, 500 μL of n-hexane, pH value of 7.1 and 10 s of vortex mixing time), which can be used in quantifying Zn2+ with characteristic peaks. The proposed SERS method presented a good linear relationship ranging from 0.5 to 10 μmol/L and a satisfactory detection limit of 0.1 μmol/L as well as low interference with other metal ions. Moreover, the detection results are close to those of the conventional standard atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) method.

Abstract
Optical probes that can be used to measure certain quantities with subcellular resolution give us access to a new level of information at which physics, chemistry, life sciences, and medicine become strongly intertwined. The emergence of these new technologies is owed to great advances in the physical sciences. However, evaluating and improving these methods to new standards requires a joint effort with life sciences and clinical practice. In this Account, we give an overview of the probes that have been developed for measuring a few highly relevant parameters at the subcellular scale: temperature, pH, oxygen, free radicals, inorganic ions, genetic material, and biomarkers. Luminescent probes are available in many varieties, which can be used for measuring temperature, pH, and oxygen. Since they are influenced by virtually any metabolic process in the healthy or diseased cell, these quantities are extremely useful to understand intracellular processes. Probes for them can roughly be divided into molecular dyes with a parameter dependent fluorescence or phosphorescence and nanoparticle platforms. Nanoparticle probes can provide enhanced photostability, measurement quality, and potential for multiple functionalities. Embedding into coatings can improve biocompatibility or prevent nonspecific interactions between the probe and the cellular environment. These qualities need to be matched however with good uptake properties, colloidal properties and eventually intracellular targeting to optimize their practical applicability. Inorganic ions constitute a broad class of compounds or elements, some of which play specific roles in signaling, while others are toxic. Their detection is often difficult due to the cross-talk with similar ions, as well as other parameters. The detection of free radicals, DNA, and biomarkers at extremely low levels has significant potential for biomedical applications. Their presence is linked more directly to physiological and clinical manifestations. Since existing methods for free radical detection are generally poor in sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution, new reliable methods that are generally applicable can contribute greatly to advancing this topic in biology. Optical methods that detect DNA or RNA and protein biomarkers exist for intracellular applications, but are mostly relevant for the development of rapid point-of-care sample testing. To elucidate the inner workings of cells, focused multidisciplinary research is required to define the validity and limitations of a nanoparticle probe, in both physical and biological terms. Multifunctional platforms and those that are easily made compatible with conventional research equipment have an edge over other techniques in growing the body of research evidencing their versatility.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) possesses significant antitumor activity and binds to laminin receptors, overexpressed on cancer cells, with high affinity. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) serve as excellent drug carriers and protect the conjugated drug from enzymatic metabolization. Citrate-gold nanoparticles (C-GNPs) and EGCG-gold nanoparticles (E-GNPs) were synthesized by reduction methods and characterized with UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cytotoxicity of citrate, EGCG, C-GNPs, and E-GNPs was evaluated by the water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1) assay. Nanoparticle cellular uptake studies were performed by TEM and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Dialysis method was employed to assess drug release. Cell viability studies showed greater growth inhibition by E-GNPs compared to EGCG or C-GNPs. Cellular uptake studies revealed that, unlike C-GNPs, E-GNPs were taken up more efficiently by cancerous cells than noncancerous cells. We found that E-GNP nanoformulation releases EGCG in a sustained fashion. Furthermore, data showed that E-GNPs induced more apoptosis in cancer cells compared to EGCG and C-GNPs. From the mechanistic standpoint, we observed that E-GNPs inhibited the nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) with greater potency than EGCG, whereas C-GNPs were only minimally effective. Altogether, our data suggest that E-GNPs can serve as potent tumor-selective chemotoxic agents.

Abstract
The surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based analysis of bacteria suffers from the lack of a standard SERS detection protocol (type of substrates, excitation frequencies, and sampling methodologies) that could be employed throughout laboratories to produce repeatable and valuable spectral information. In this work, we have examined several factors influencing the spectrum and signal enhancement during SERS studies conducted on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species: Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, respectively. These factors can be grouped into those which are related to the structure and types of plasmonic systems used during SERS measurements and those that are associated with the culturing conditions, types of culture media, and method of biological sample preparation. ![]()

Abstract
HIV-positive individuals are at increased risk for precancerous anal squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs). Anal cytology and digital rectal examination are performed as screening tools, but extensive training and appropriate instruments are required to follow up on an abnormal anal cytology. Thus, novel approaches to SIL evaluation could improve better health care follow-up by efficient and timely diagnosis to offer treatment options. Recently, Raman-enhanced spectroscopy (RESpect) has emerged as a potential new tool for early identification of SIL. RESpect is a noninvasive, label-free, laser-based technique that identifies molecular composition of tissues and cells. HIV-serodiscordant couples had anal biopsies obtained during high-resolution anoscopy. RESpect was performed on the specimens. Principal component analysis of the data identified differences between normal and abnormal tissue as well as HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals of each couple even with similar pathologies. RESpect has the potential to change the paradigm of anal pathology diagnosis and could provide insight into different pathways leading to SIL in HIV-serodiscordant couples.

[PMID: 29320428 PMCID: PMC6017320 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23010126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2017] [Revised: 01/04/2018] [Accepted: 01/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Monitoring reaction paths is not only a fundamental scientific issue but also helps us to understand and optimize the catalytic process. Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies are powerful tools for detecting particular molecules or intermediate products as a result of their ability to provide the molecular "finger-print". However, theoretical modeling for the vibrational spectra of molecular adsorbates on metallic surfaces is a long-standing challenge, because accurate descriptions of the electronic structure for both the metallic substrates and adsorbates are required. In the present work, we applied a quasi-analytical IR and Raman simulation method to monitor the dehydrogenation of propane towards propylene on a Pd-doped Cu(111) surface in real-time. Different Pd ensembles were used to construct the single-atom catalyst (SAC). We found that the number of sublayer Pd atoms could only affect the intensity of the peak rather than the peak position on the vibrational spectra. However, with the dehydrogenation reaction proceeding, both IR and Raman spectra were changed greatly, which indicates that every reaction step can be distinguished from the point of view of vibrational spectroscopies. Additionally, we found that the catalytic process, which starts from different initial states, shows different spectral profiles. The present results suggest that the vibrational spectroscopies obtained by the high-precision simulations pave the way for identifying different catalytic reaction paths.
