Verdin A, Malherbe C, Eppe G. Designing SERS nanotags for profiling overexpressed surface markers on single cancer cells: A review. Talanta 2024; 276:126225. [PMID: 38749157 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
This review focuses on the chemical design and the use of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)-active nanotags for measuring surface markers that can be overexpressed at the surface of single cancer cells. Indeed, providing analytical tools with true single-cell measurements capabilities is capital, especially since cancer research is increasingly leaning toward single-cell analysis, either to guide treatment decisions or to understand complex tumor behaviour including the single-cell heterogeneity and the appearance of treatment resistance. Over the past two decades, SERS nanotags have triggered significant interest in the scientific community owing their advantages over fluorescent tags, mainly because SERS nanotags resist photobleaching and exhibit sharper signal bands, which reduces possible spectral overlap and enables the discrimination between the SERS signals and the autofluorescence background from the sample itself. The extensive efforts invested in harnessing SERS nanotags for biomedical purposes, particularly in cancer research, highlight their potential as the next generation of optical labels for single-cell studies. The review unfolds in two main parts. The first part focuses on the structure of SERS nanotags, detailing their chemical composition and the role of each building block of the tags. The second part explores applications in measuring overexpressed surface markers on single-cells. The latter encompasses studies using single nanotags, multiplexed measurements, quantitative information extraction, monitoring treatment responses, and integrating phenotype measurements with SERS nanotags on single cells isolated from complex biological matrices. This comprehensive review anticipates SERS nanotags to persist as a pivotal technology in advancing single-cell analytical methods, particularly in the context of cancer research and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Proteins are an eminently important class of ubiquitous biomacromolecules with diverse biological functions, and numerous techniques for their detection, quantification, and localisation have been developed. Many of these methods exploit the selectivity arising from molecular recognition of proteins/antigens by immunoglobulins. The combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with such "immuno"-techniques to immuno-SERS (iSERS) is the central topic of this review, which is focused on colloidal SERS nanotags, i.e., molecularly functionalised noble metal nanoparticles conjugated to antibodies, for their use in protein assays and ex vivo imaging. After contrasting the fundamental differences between label-free SERS and iSERS, including a balanced description of the advantages and drawbacks of the latter, we describe the usual workflow of iSERS experiments. Milestones in the development of the iSERS technology are summarised from a historical perspective. By highlighting selected examples from the literature, we illustrate the conceptual progress that has been achieved in the fields of iSERS-based protein assays and ex vivo imaging. Finally, we attempt to predict what is necessary to fully exploit the transformative potential of the iSERS technology by stimulating the transition from research in academic labs into applications for the benefit of our society.

Abstract
With their intricate design, nanoparticles (NPs) have become indispensable tools in the quest for precise cellular targeting. Among various NPs, gold NPs stand out with unique features such as chemical stability, biocompatibility, adjustable shape, and size-dependent optical properties, making them particularly promising for molecular detection by leveraging the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Their multiplexing abilities for the simultaneous identification of multiple biomarkers are important in the rapidly evolving landscape of diverse cellular phenotypes and biomolecular profiling. However, the challenge is ensuring that SERS NPs can effectively target specific cells and biomarkers among intricate cell types and biomolecules with high specificity. In this study, we improve the functionalization of SERS NPs, optimizing their targeting efficiency in cellular applications for ca. 160 nm NP-based probes. Spherical SERS NPs, conjugated with antibodies targeting epidermal growth factor receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, were incubated with cells overexpressing these proteins, and their specific binding potential was quantified at each stage by using flow cytometry to achieve optimal targeting efficiency. We determined that maintaining an average of 3.5 × 105 thiols per NP, 300 antibodies per NP, 18,000 NPs per cell, conducting a 15 min staining incubation at 4 °C in a shaker, and using SM(PEG)12 as a cross-linker for the NP conjugation were crucial to achieve the highest targeting efficiency. Fluorescence and Raman imaging were used with these parameters to observe the maximum ability of these NPs to efficiently target suspended cells. These highly sensitive contrast agents demonstrate their pivotal role in effective active targeting, making them invaluable for multiplexing applications across diverse biological environments.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 248:115948. [PMID: 38160636 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
To develop a reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay as a new liquid biopsy modality, SERS nanoprobes emitting strong and stable signals are necessary. However, Ag nanoparticles used as SERS nanoprobes are prone to rapid fading of SERS signals by oxidation. This has driven the development of a new strategy for Ag-based SERS nanoprobes emitting stable and strong SERS signals over time. Herein, Ag nanogap shells entrapping Raman labels are created in the confined pores of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AgNSM) through a rapid single-step reaction for SERS liquid biopsy. Each AgNSM nanoprobe possesses multiple nanogaps of 1.58 nm to entrap Raman labels, allowing superior long-term SERS signal stability and large enhancement of 1.5 × 106. AgNSM nanoprobes conjugated with an antibody specific for carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 are employed in the SERS sandwich immunoassay including antibody-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles for CA19-9 detection, showing a two orders of magnitude lower limit of detection (0.025 U mL-1) than an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (0.3 U mL-1). The AgNSM nanoprobe immunoassay accurately quantifies CA19-9 levels from clinical serum samples of early and advanced pancreatic cancer. AgNSM nanoprobes with stable SERS signals provide a new route to SERS liquid biopsy for effective detection of blood biomarkers.

Abstract
This study compares two kinds of magnetic microbeads with different surface features and cell entry pathways, aiming to provide insights into how to program their cell uptake and intracellular fate. It is found that a rougher surface enhances the cell uptake of the microbeads, regardless of whether they are pulled by a magnetic field gradient or adsorbed by the cell membrane. However, the entry route affects the intracellular localization of the microbeads: The magnetically dragged microbeads reach the cytoplasm, while the adsorbed microbeads stay in the late endosomes and lysosomes. This suggests that different strategies can be used to target different cellular compartments with magnetic microbeads. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the cells containing the microbeads can be moved and regrown at specific locations by applying a magnetic field gradient, showing the potential of these magnetic microbeads for cell delivery and manipulation.

Abstract
This work presents a novel nanoparticle-based thermosensor implant able to reveal the precise temperature variations along the polymer filaments, as it contracts and expands due to changes in the macroscale local temperature. The multimodal device is able to trace the position and the temperature of a polypropylene mesh, employed in abdominal hernia repair, by combining plasmon resonance and Raman spectroscopy with hydrogel responsive system. The novelty relies on the attachment of the biocompatible nanoparticles, based on gold stabilized by a chitosan-shell, already charged with the Raman reporter (RaR) molecules, to the robust prosthesis, without the need of chemical linkers. The SERS enhanced effect observed is potentiated by the presence of a quite thick layer of the copolymer (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-poly(acrylamide)) hydrogel. At temperatures above the LCST of PNIPAAm-co-PAAm, the water molecules are expulsed and the hydrogel layer contracts, leaving the RaR molecules more accessible to the Raman source. In vitro studies with fibroblast cells reveal that the functionalized surgical mesh is biocompatible and no toxic substances are leached in the medium. The mesh sensor opens new frontiers to semi-invasive diagnosis and infection prevention in hernia repair by using SERS spectroscopy. It also offers new possibilities to the functionalization of other healthcare products.

Abstract
A new avenue has opened up for applications of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in the biomedical field, mainly due to the striking advantages offered by SERS tags. SERS tags provide indirect identification of analytes with rich and highly specific spectral fingerprint information, high sensitivity, and outstanding multiplexing potential, making them very useful in in vitro and in vivo assays. The recent and innovative advances in nanomaterial science, novel Raman reporters, and emerging bioconjugation protocols have helped develop ultra-bright SERS tags as powerful tools for multiplex SERS-based detection and diagnosis applications. Nevertheless, to translate SERS platforms to real-world problems, some challenges, especially for clinical applications, must be addressed. This review presents the current understanding of the factors influencing the quality of SERS tags and the strategies commonly employed to improve not only spectral quality but the specificity and reproducibility of the interaction of the analyte with the target ligand. It further explores some of the most common approaches which have emerged for coupling SERS with microfluidic technologies, for biomedical applications. The importance of understanding microfluidic production and characterisation to yield excellent device quality while ensuring high throughput production are emphasised and explored, after which, the challenges and approaches developed to fulfil the potential that SERS-based microfluidics have to offer are described.

Abstract
Polypropylene (PP) surgical meshes, with different knitted architectures, were chemically functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 4-mercaptothiazole (4-MB) to transform their fibers into a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detectable plastic material. The application of a thin layer of poly[N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N'-methylene bis(acrylamide)] (PNIPAAm-co-MBA) graft copolymer, covalently polymerized to the mesh-gold substrate, caused the conversion of the inert plastic into a thermoresponsive material, resulting in the first PP implantable mesh with both SERS and temperature stimulus responses. AuNPs were homogeneously distributed over the PP yarns, offering a clear SERS recognition together with higher PNIPAAm lower critical solution temperature (LCST ∼ 37 °C) than without the metallic particles (LCST ∼ 32 °C). An infrared thermographic camera was used to observe the polymer-hydrogel folding-unfolding process and to identify the new value of the LCST, connected with the heat generation by plasmonic-resonance gold NPs. The development of SERS PP prosthesis will be relevant for the bioimaging and biomarker detection of the implant by using the plasmonic effect and Raman vibrational spectroscopy for minimally invasive interventions (such as laparoscopy), to prevent patient inflammatory processes. Furthermore, Raman sources have been proved to not damage the cells, like happens with near-infrared irradiation, representing another advantage of moving to SERS approaches. The findings reported here offer unprecedented application possibilities in the biomedical field by extrapolating the material functionalization to other nonabsorbable polymer made devices (e.g., surgical sutures, grapes, wound dressings, among others).

The development of materials that selectively mediate the rolling of cancer cells is important for the high-throughput enrichment of high-speed cancer cells. Here we constructed a dense and stretched low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA9.6k)-modified surface to selectively promote the rolling of CD44-high cancer cells. The HA surface (calcium ion-regulated HA9.6k surface, Ca-rHA) was fabricated via a calcium ion-regulated method, where calcium ion incorporation induced the shrink of HA9.6k chains to achieve the highest reported grafting density of about 2.73 ± 0.20 × 104 HA chains μm-2. Upon the removal of calcium ions, the dense HA9.6k chains switched to a highly stretched conformation. The high density and flexibility of Ca-rHA bearing abundant binding sites enhanced the rolling of CD44-high cancer cells and reduced the velocity of cells from 1389 µm s-1 to 99 µm s-1 (7%), comparable to that of the physiological rolling event and outperforming traditional grafting-to HA and E-selectin, without causing phenotypic changes. When processing complex samples under high-speed flow, Ca-rHA selectively mediated the rolling of cancer cells and enriched their ratio to peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 1:1 to 15:1. As the only reported artificial biomaterial capable of selectively mediating the rolling of cancer cells under a physiological high-speed flow, Ca-rHA holds promise in enriching intact cells for downstream analysis in the clinics by encouraging the surface-cell contacts. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The development of materials that selectively mediate the rolling of cancer cells is important for the high-throughput enrichment of cancer cells rolling under high-speed flow, yet is less reported. To selectively promote the rolling of cancer stem cell marker CD44-high cancer cells, a surface with dense and stretched low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA9.6k) was constructed. With Ca2+ regulation, HA9.6k chains shrank to achieve the highest reported grafting density of 2.73 ± 0.20 × 104 chains μm-2 and further switched to a highly stretched conformation after the removal of Ca2+ ions. As the only reported artificial biomaterial capable of selectively mediating the rolling of cancer cells under a physiological high-speed flow, this Ca2+-regulated HA9.6k surface holds promise in enriching intact cells for downstream analysis in the clinics.

Abstract
Recently, filter paper (FP)-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have stimulated significant attention owing to their promising advantages such as being low-cost, easy to handle, and practically suitable for real-field applications in comparison to the solid-based substrates. Herein, a simple and versatile approach of laser-ablation in liquid for the fabrication of silver (Ag)-gold (Au) alloy nanoparticles (NPs). Next, the optimization of flexible base substrate (sandpaper, printing paper, and FP) and the FP the soaking time (5−60 min) was studied. Further, the optimized FP with 30 min-soaked SERS sensors were exploited to detect minuscule concentrations of pesticide (thiram-50 nM), dye (Nile blue-5 nM), and an explosive (RDX-1,3,5-Trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine-100 nM) molecule. Interestingly, a prominent SERS effect was observed from the Au NPs exhibiting satisfactory reproducibility in the SERS signals over ~1 cm2 area for all of the molecules inspected with enhancement factors of ~105 and relative standard deviation values of <15%. Furthermore, traces of pesticide residues on the surface of a banana and RDX on the glass slide were swabbed with the optimized FP substrate and successfully recorded the SERS spectra using a portable Raman spectrometer. This signifies the great potential application of such low-cost, flexible substrates in the future real-life fields.

Abstract
The development of biocompatible and nontoxic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles is of considerable current interest because of their attractive biomedical applications such as ultrasensitive in vitro diagnostics, in vivo tumor imaging, and spectroscopy-guided cancer surgery. However, current SERS nanoparticles are prepared and stored in aqueous solution, have limited stability and dispersibility, and are not suitable for lyophilization and storage by freeze-drying or other means. Here, we report a simple but robust method to coat colloidal SERS nanoparticles by naturally derived biomimetic red blood cell membranes (RBCM), leading to a dramatic improvement in stability and dispersibility under freeze-thawing, lyophilization, heating, and physiological conditions. The results demonstrate that the lyophilized SERS nanoparticles in the solid form can be readily dissolved and dispersed in physiological buffer solutions. A surprising finding is that the RBCM-coated SERS particles are considerably brighter (by as much as 5-fold) than PEGylated SERS particles under similar experimental conditions. This additional enhancement is believed to arise from the hydrophobic nature of RBCM's hydrocarbon chains, which is known to reduce electronic dampening and boost electromagnetic field enhancement. A further advantage in using biomimetic membrane coatings is that the bilayer membrane structure allows nonvalent insertion of molecular ligands for tumor targeting. In particular, we show that cyclic-RGD, a tumor-targeting peptide, can be efficiently inserted into the membrane coatings of SERS nanoparticles for targeting the ανβ3 integrin receptors expressed on cancer cells. Thus, biomimetic RBCMs provide major advantages over traditional polyethylene glycols for preparing SERS nanoparticles with improved dispersibility, higher signal intensity, and more efficient biofunctionalization.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanotags hold a unique place among bioimaging contrast agents due to their fingerprint-like spectra, which provide one of the highest degrees of detection specificity. However, in order to achieve a sufficiently high signal intensity, targeting capabilities, and biocompatibility, all components of nanotags must be rationally designed and tailored to a specific application. Design parameters include fine-tuning the properties of the plasmonic core as well as optimizing the choice of Raman reporter molecule, surface coating, and targeting moieties for the intended application. This review introduces readers to the principles of SERS nanotag design and discusses both established and emerging protocols of their synthesis, with a specific focus on the construction of SERS nanotags in the context of bioimaging and theranostics.

Abstract
Early specific detection through indicative biomarkers and precise visualization of lesion sites are urgent requirements for clinical disease diagnosis. However, current detection and optical imaging methods are insufficient for these demands. Molecular imaging technologies are being intensely studied for reliable medical diagnosis. In the past several decades, molecular imaging with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has significant advances from analytical chemistry to medical science. SERS is the inelastic scattering generated from the interaction between photons and substances, presenting molecular structure information. The outstanding SERS virtues of high sensitivity, high specificity, and resistance to biointerference are highly advantageous for biomarker detection in a complex biological matrix. In this work, we review recent progress on the applications of SERS imaging in clinical diagnostics. With the assistance of SERS imaging, the detection of disease-related proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and pH of the cellular microenvironment can be implemented for adjuvant medical diagnosis. Moreover, multimodal imaging integrates the high penetration and high speed of other imaging modalities and imaging precision of SERS imaging, resulting in final complete and accurate imaging outcomes and exhibiting robust potential in the discrimination of pathological tissues and surgical navigation. As a promising molecular imaging technology, SERS imaging has achieved remarkable performance in clinical diagnostics and the biomedical realm. It is expected that this review will provide insights for further development of SERS imaging and promote the rapid progress and successful translation of advanced molecular imaging with clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of clinical biomolecules in a multiplexed fashion is of great importance for accurate diagnosis of diseases. Mass spectrometric (MS) approaches are exceptionally suitable for clinical analysis due to its high throughput, high sensitivity, and reliable qualitative and quantitative capabilities. To break through the bottleneck of MS technique for detecting high-molecular-weight substances with low ionization efficiency, the concept of mass spectrometric biosensing has been put forward by adopting mass spectrometric chips to recognize the targets and mass spectrometry to detect the signals switched by the recognition. In this review, the principle of mass spectrometric sensing, the construction of different mass tags used for biosensing, and the typical combination mode of mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) technique are summarized. Future perspectives including the design of portable matching platforms, exploitation of novel mass tags, development of effective signal amplification strategies, and standardization of MSI methodologies are proposed to promote the advancements and practical applications of mass spectrometric biosensing.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has become a powerful tool for biosensing applications owing to its fingerprint recognition, high sensitivity, multiplex detection, and biocompatibility. This review provides an overview of the most significant aspects of SERS for biomedical and biosensing applications. We first introduced the mechanisms at the basis of the SERS amplifications: electromagnetic and chemical enhancement. We then illustrated several types of substrates and fabrication methods, with a focus on gold-based nanostructures. We further analyzed the relevant factors for the characterization of the SERS sensor performances, including sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, sensor configuration (direct or indirect), and nanotoxicity. Finally, a representative selection of applications in the biomedical field is provided.

Abstract
Abstract
Cancer vaccines have exhibited immense potential in cancer treatment. Through activating the host's immune system, vaccines stimulate extensive functional T cells to eliminate cancer. However, the therapeutic efficacy of cancer vaccines is limited by their inferior lymph node delivery and inadequate uptake of dendritic cells. Herein, we propose an in situ phase transitional strategy on vaccine manufacturing to maximally enhance lymph node drainage while ensuring adequate dendritic cell uptake. The phase transitional vaccines, with dynamic size modulation property, retain a small size (24.4 ± 3.1 nm) during lymph node draining then transform into larger particles (483.0 ± 41.6 nm) on-site by external signal input. Results show that this strategy induced rapid and robust immune response in a mouse melanoma tumor model. Furthermore, a stronger humoral immune response was observed in mice when immunized with MHC-II restricted antigen, which demonstrated that lymph node-targeted cancer vaccine delivery could be effectively manipulated through dynamic size modulation.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has revolutionized diverse fields, which include agriculture, the consumer market, medicine, and other fields. Widespread use of nanotechnology-based products has led to increased prevalence of these novel formulations in the environment, which has raised concerns regarding their deleterious effects. The application of nanotechnology-based formulations into clinical use is hampered by the lack of the availability of effective in vitro systems, which could accurately assess their in vivo toxic effects. A plethora of studies has shown the hazardous effects of nanoparticle-based formulations in two-dimensional in vitro cell cultures and animal models. These have some associated disadvantages when used for the evaluation of nano-toxicity. Organoid technology fills the space between existing two-dimensional cell line culture and in vivo models. The uniqueness of organoids over other systems for evaluating toxicity caused by nano-drug formulation includes them being a co-culture of diverse cell types, dynamic flow within them that simulates the actual flow of nanoparticles within biological systems, extensive cell-cell, cell-matrix interactions, and a tissue-like morphology. Thus, it mimics the actual tissue microenvironment and, subsequently, provides an opportunity to study drug metabolism and toxico-dynamics of nanotechnology-based novel formulations. The use of organoids in the evaluation of nano-drug toxicity is in its infancy. A limited number of studies conducted so far have shown good predictive value and efficiently significant data correlation with the clinical trials. In this review, we attempt to introduce organoids of the liver, lungs, brain, kidney intestine, and potential applications to evaluate toxicity caused by nanoparticles.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles are used to modify/enhance the properties of a polymer matrix for a broad range of applications in bio-nanotechnology. Here, we study the properties of polymer/gold nanoparticle (NP) nanocomposites through atomistic molecular dynamics, MD, simulations. We probe the structural, conformational and dynamical properties of polymer chains at the vicinity of a gold (Au) NP and a functionalized (core/shell) Au NP, and compare them against the behavior of bulk polyethylene (PE). The bare Au NPs were constructed via a systematic methodology starting from ab-initio calculations and an atomistic Wulff construction algorithm resulting in the crystal shape with the minimum surface energy. For the functionalized NPs the interactions between gold atoms and chemically adsorbed functional groups change their shape. As a model polymer matrix we consider polyethylene of different molecular lengths, from the oligomer to unentangled Rouse like systems. The PE/Au interaction is parametrized via DFT calculations. By computing the different properties the concept of the interface, and the interphase as well, in polymer nanocomposites with metal NPs are critically examined. Results concerning polymer density profiles, bond order parameter, segmental and terminal dynamics show clearly that the size of the interface/interphase, depends on the actual property under study. In addition, the anchored polymeric chains change the behavior/properties, and especially the chain density profile and the dynamics, of the polymer chain at the vicinity of the Au NP.

Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) are ideal scaffolds for the fabrication of sensing devices because of their high surface-to-volume ratio combined with their unique optical and electrical properties which are extremely sensitive to changes in the environment. Such characteristics guarantee high sensitivity in sensing processes. Metal NPs can be decorated with ad hoc molecular building blocks which can act as receptors of specific analytes. By pursuing this strategy, and by taking full advantage of the specificity of supramolecular recognition events, highly selective sensing devices can be fabricated. Besides, noble metal NPs can also be a pivotal element for the fabrication of chemical nose/tongue sensors to target complex mixtures of analytes. This review highlights the most enlightening strategies developed during the last decade, towards the fabrication of chemical sensors with either optical or electrical readout combining high sensitivity and selectivity, along with fast response and full reversibility, with special attention to approaches that enable efficient environmental and health monitoring.

Abstract
In a pandemic era, rapid infectious disease diagnosis is essential. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) promises sensitive and specific diagnosis including rapid point-of-care detection and drug susceptibility testing. SERS utilizes inelastic light scattering arising from the interaction of incident photons with molecular vibrations, enhanced by orders of magnitude with resonant metallic or dielectric nanostructures. While SERS provides a spectral fingerprint of the sample, clinical translation is lagged due to challenges in consistency of spectral enhancement, complexity in spectral interpretation, insufficient specificity and sensitivity, and inefficient workflow from patient sample collection to spectral acquisition. Here, we highlight the recent, complementary advances that address these shortcomings, including (1) design of label-free SERS substrates and data processing algorithms that improve spectral signal and interpretability, essential for broad pathogen screening assays; (2) development of new capture and affinity agents, such as aptamers and polymers, critical for determining the presence or absence of particular pathogens; and (3) microfluidic and bioprinting platforms for efficient clinical sample processing. We also describe the development of low-cost, point-of-care, optical SERS hardware. Our paper focuses on SERS for viral and bacterial detection, in hopes of accelerating infectious disease diagnosis, monitoring, and vaccine development. With advances in SERS substrates, machine learning, and microfluidics and bioprinting, the specificity, sensitivity, and speed of SERS can be readily translated from laboratory bench to patient bedside, accelerating point-of-care diagnosis, personalized medicine, and precision health.

Abstract
Raman-encoded gold nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely employed as photostable multifunctional probes for sensing, bioimaging, multiplex diagnostics, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-guided tumor therapy. We report a strategy toward obtaining a particularly large library of Au nanocapsules encoded with Raman codes defined by the combination of different thiol-free Raman reporters, encapsulated at defined molar ratios. The fabrication of SERS tags with tailored size and predefined codes is based on the in situ incorporation of Raman reporter molecules inside Au nanocapsules during their formation via galvanic replacement coupled to seeded growth on Ag NPs. The hole-free closed-shell structure of the nanocapsules is confirmed by electron tomography. The unusually wide encoding possibilities of the obtained SERS tags are investigated by means of either wavenumber-based encoding or Raman frequency combined with signal intensity, leading to an outstanding performance as exemplified by 26 and 54 different codes, respectively. We additionally demonstrate that encoded nanocapsules can be readily bioconjugated with antibodies for applications such as SERS-based targeted cell imaging and phenotyping.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobes based on Au@Ag core@shell nanoparticles coated with poly(allylamine) were functionalized with small targeting molecules to evaluate simultaneously the level of expression of two cancer-related markers, both in cells and in tissues. The Au@Ag nanoparticles provide a high SERS signal enhancement in the visible range when combined with resonant Raman-active molecules. The poly(allylamine) coating plays a dual key role in (i) protecting the metal surface against the complex biological medium, leading to a stable signal of the Raman-active molecules, and (ii) enabling specific biofunctionalization through its amine functions. Using small targeting molecules linked to the polymer coating, two different nanoprobes (duplex approach) were designed. Each was able to specifically target a particular cancer-related marker: folate receptors (FRs) and sialic acid (SA). We demonstrate that the level of expression of these targeted markers can be evaluated following the SERS signal of the probes incubated on cells or tissues. The potential overexpression of folate receptors and of sialic acid was evaluated and measured in breast and ovarian cancerous tissue sections. In addition, FR and/or SA overexpression in the tumor region can be visualized with high contrast with respect to the healthy region and with high spatial accuracy consistent with histology by SERS imaging of the nanoprobe signal. Owing to the unique spectral signature of the designed nanoprobes, this approach offers an efficient tool for the spatially resolved, in situ measurement of the expression level of several cancer-related markers in tumors at the same time.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Chemical and biological/biochemical sensors are capable of generating readout signals that are proportional to the concentration of specific analytes of interest. Signal sensitivity and limit of detection/quantitation can be enhanced through the use of polymers, nanomaterials, and their hybrids. Of particular interest are stimuli-responsive polymers and nanomaterials due to their ability to change their physical and/or chemical characteristics in response to their environment, and/or in the presence of molecular/biomolecular species of interest. Their individual use for sensing applications have many benefits, although this review focuses on the utility of stimuli-responsive polymer and nanomaterial hybrids. We discuss three main topics: stimuli-responsive nanogels, stimuli-responsive network polymers doped with nanomaterials, and nanoparticles modified with stimuli-responsive polymers.

Abstract
Thermo-responsive plasmonic systems of gold and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) have been actively studied for several decades but this system keeps reinventing itself, with new concepts and applications which seed new fields. In this minireview, we show the latest few years development and applications of this intriguing system. We start from the basic working principles of this puzzling system which shows different plasmon shifts for even slightly different chemistries. We then present its applications to colloidal actuation, plasmon/meta-film tuning, and bioimaging and sensing. Finally we briefly summarize and propose several promising applications of the ongoing effort in this field.

Abstract
Aim: Exosomes, known as novel biocompatible vesicles, have attracted much interest. This makes it urgent to observe exosomes at the visually cellular or subcellular levels. Methods: Herein, we constructed a new kind of exosome/metal nanohybrid and employed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering technique to study the intracellular behaviors of hybrid exosomes. Results: Experimental results revealed that hybrid exosomes were internalized mainly through clathrin-mediated endocytosis and thereafter transported to lysosomes. The metal nanoparticles in the hybrid were demonstrated to have little effect on exosomal characteristics while serving as surface-enhanced Raman scattering generators. Conclusion: This study is significant for removing the barrier in designing programmable exosome/metal nanohybrids, which will greatly improve the utility of exosomal nanohybrids for therapeutics, such as multifunctional drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
Cancer heterogeneity increasingly requires ultrasensitive techniques that allow early diagnosis for personalized treatment. In addition, they should preferably be non-invasive tools that do not damage surrounding tissues or contribute to body toxicity. In this context, liquid biopsy of biological samples such as urine, blood, or saliva represents an ideal approximation of what is happening in real time in the affected tissues. Plasmonic nanoparticles are emerging as an alternative or complement to current diagnostic techniques, being able to detect and quantify novel biomarkers such as specific peptides and proteins, microRNA, circulating tumor DNA and cells, and exosomes. Here, we review the latest ideas focusing on the use of plasmonic nanoparticles in coded and label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. Moreover, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, colorimetric assays, dynamic light scattering (DLS) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry or total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy among others are briefly examined in order to highlight the potential and versatility of plasmonics.

Abstract
A carbon dots-embedded epitope imprinted polymer (C-MIP) was fabricated for targeted fluorescence imaging of cervical cancer by specifically recognizing the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The core-shell C-MIP was prepared by a reverse microemulsion polymerization method. This method used silica nanoparticles embedded with carbon dots as carriers, acrylamide as the main functional monomer, and N-terminal nonapeptides of EGFR modified by palmitic acid as templates. A series of characterizations (transmission electron microscope, dynamic light scattering, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) prove the successful synthesis of C-MIP. The fluorescence of C-MIP is quenched by the epitopes of EGFR due to the specific recognition of epitopes of EGFR through their imprinted cavities (analytical excitation/emission wavelengths, 540 nm/610 nm). The linear range of fluorescence quenching is 2.0 to 15.0 μg mL-1 and the determination limit is 0.73 μg mL-1. The targeted imaging capabilities of C-MIP are demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The laser confocal imaging results indicate that HeLa cells (over-expression EGFR) incubated with C-MIP show stronger fluorescence than that of MCF-7 cells (low-expression EGFR), revealing that C-MIP can target tumor cells overexpressing EGFR. The results of imaging experiments in tumor-bearing mice exhibit that C-MIP has a better imaging effect than C-NIP, which further proves the targeted imaging ability of C-MIP in vivo. Graphical abstract An oriented epitope imprinted polymer embedded with carbon dots was prepared for the determination of the epitopes of epidermal growth factor receptor and targeted fluorescence imaging of cervical cancer.

Abstract
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical effort has been directed toward understanding the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and demonstrating its potential in various types of ultrasensitive sensing applications in a wide variety of fields. In the 45 years since its discovery, SERS has blossomed into a rich area of research and technology, but additional efforts are still needed before it can be routinely used analytically and in commercial products. In this Review, prominent authors from around the world joined together to summarize the state of the art in understanding and using SERS and to predict what can be expected in the near future in terms of research, applications, and technological development. This Review is dedicated to SERS pioneer and our coauthor, the late Prof. Richard Van Duyne, whom we lost during the preparation of this article.

SENSORS 2019; 19:s19183872.

Abstract
Intensity-based optical fiber sensors are one of the most studied sensor approaches thanks to their simplicity and low cost. Nevertheless, their main issue is their lack of robustness since any light source fluctuation, or unexpected optical setup variation is directly transferred to the output signal, which, significantly reduces their reliability. In this work, a simple and robust hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) optical fiber sensor is proposed based on the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) sensitivity of silver and gold metallic nanoparticles. The precise and robust detection of H2O2 concentrations in the ppm range is very interesting for the scientific community, as it is a pathological precursor in a wide variety of damage mechanisms where its presence can be used to diagnose important diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, asthma, or even Alzheimer’s disease). In this work, the sensing principle is based the oxidation of the silver nanoparticles due the action of the hydrogen peroxide, and consequently the reduction of the efficiency of the plasmonic coupling. At the same time, gold nanoparticles show a high chemical stability, and therefore provide a stable LSPR absorption band. This provides a stable real-time reference that can be extracted from the spectral response of the optical fiber sensor, giving a reliable reading of the hydrogen peroxide concentration.

Abstract
Early precise diagnosis of cancers is crucial to realize more effective therapeutic interventions with minimal toxic effects. Cancer phenotypes may also alter greatly among patients and within individuals over the therapeutic process. The identification and characterization of specific biomarkers expressed on tumor cells are in high demand for diagnosis and treatment, but they are still a challenge. Herein, we designed three new bioorthogonal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobes and successfully applied the cocktail of them for MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer multiplex phenotype detection. The SERS nanoprobes containing Raman reporters with diynl, azide, or cyano moieties demonstrated apparent Raman shift peaks in 2205, 2120, and 2230 cm-1, respectively, in the biologically Raman-silent region. Three target ligands, including oligonucleotide aptamer (AS1411), arginine-glycine-aspatic acid (RGD) peptide, and homing cell adhesion molecule antibody (anti-CD44), were separately conjugated to the nanoprobes for active recognition capability. The cocktail of the nanoprobes manifested minimal cytotoxicity and simultaneously multiplex phenotype imaging of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. Quantitative measurement of cellular uptake by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) verified that MDA-MB-231 cells harbored a much higher expression level of CD44 receptor than MCF-7 cells. For in vivo SERS detection, Raman shift peaks of 2120, 2205, and 2230 cm-1 in the micro-tumor were clearly observed, representing the existence of three specific biomarkers of nucleolin, integrin αvβ3, and CD44 reporter, which could be used for early cancer phenotype identification. The biodistribution results indicated that target ligand modified nanoprobes exhibited much more accumulation in tumors than those nanoprobes without target ligands. The multicolor cocktail of bioorthogonal SERS nanoprobes offers an attractive and insightful strategy for early cancer multiplex phenotype targeting and diagnosis in vivo that is noninvasive and has low cross-talk, unique spectral-molecular signature, high sensitivity, and negligible background interference.

Abstract
One of the frontiers of nanomedicine is the rational design of theranostic nanovectors. These are nanosized materials combining diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, i.e. capable of tracking cancer cells and tissues in complex environments, and of selectively acting against them. We herein report on the preparation and application of antifolate plasmonic nanovectors, made of functionalized gold nanoparticles conjugated with the folic acid competitors aminopterin and methotrexate. Due to the overexpression of folate binding proteins on many types of cancer cells, these nanosystems can be exploited for selective cancer cell targeting. The strong surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signature of these nanovectors acts as a diagnostic tool, not only for tracing their presence in biological samples, but also, through a careful spectral analysis, to precisely quantify the amount of drug loaded on a single nanoparticle, and therefore delivered to the cells. Meanwhile, the therapeutic action is implemented based on the strong toxicity of antifolate drugs. Remarkably, supplying the drug in the nanostructured form, rather than as a free molecule, enhances its specific toxicity. The selectivity of the antifolate nanovectors can be optimized by the design of a hybrid folate/antifolate coloaded nanovector for the specific targeting of folate receptor α, which is overexpressed on numerous cancer cell types.

Abstract
Myxovirus protein A (MxA) is a biomarker that can be used to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections. While MxA lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been successfully used for viral vs. bacterial differential diagnosis for children, the clinically relevant level of MxA for adults has been reported to be 100 times lower, which is too low for traditional LFAs. We present results applying the use of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect MxA. AuAg nanoshells (AuAg NSs) were used to enhance the Raman signal of mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA), enabling readout by SERS. The AuAg NSs were conjugated to antibodies for the biomarker of interest, resulting in a "nanotag", that could be used in a dipstick immunoassay for detection. We first optimized the nanotag parameters using anti-human IgG/human IgG as a model antibody/antigen system, and then demonstrated detection of MxA using anti-MxA antibodies. We show that SERS readout of immunoassays for MxA can quantify MxA levels at clinically relevant levels for adult viral infection.

Abstract
As medicine continues to advance our understanding of and knowledge about the complex and multifactorial nature of cancer, new major technological challenges have emerged in the design of analytical methods capable of characterizing and assessing the dynamic heterogeneity of cancer for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring, as required by precision medicine. With this aim, novel nanotechnological approaches have been pursued and developed for overcoming intrinsic and current limitations of conventional methods in terms of rapidity, sensitivity, multiplicity, non-invasive procedures and cost. Eminently, a special focus has been put on their implementation in liquid biopsy analysis. Among optical nanosensors, those based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) have been attracting tremendous attention due to the combination of the intrinsic prerogatives of the technique (e.g., sensitivity and structural specificity) and the high degree of refinement in nano-manufacturing, which translate into reliable and robust real-life applications. In this review, we categorize the diverse strategic approaches of SERS biosensors for targeting different classes of tumor biomarkers (cells, nucleic acids and proteins) by illustrating key recent research works. We will also discuss the current limitations and future research challenges to be addressed to improve the competitiveness of SERS over other methodologies in cancer medicine.

Abstract
We have recently witnessed a major improvement in the quality of nanoparticles encoded with Raman-active molecules (SERS tags). Such progress relied mainly on a major improvement of fabrication methods for building-blocks, resulting in widespread application of this powerful tool in various fields, with the potential to replace commonly used techniques, such as those based on fluorescence. We present hereby a brief Perspective on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags, regarding their composition, morphology, and structure, and describe our own selection from the current state-of-the-art. We then focus on the main bioimaging applications of SERS tags, showing a gradual evolution from two-dimensional studies to three-dimensional analysis. Recent improvements in sensitivity and multiplexing ability have enabled great advancements toward in vivo applications, e.g., highlighting tumor boundaries to guide surgery. In addition, the high level of biomolecule sensitivity reached by SERS tags promises an expansion toward biomarker detection in cases for which traditional methods offer limited reliability, as a consequence of the frequently low analyte concentrations.

Abstract
We report a quantitative evaluation of the choice of reporters for multiplexed surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). An initial library consisted of 15 reporter molecules that included commonly used Raman dyes, thiolated reporters, and other small molecules. We used a correlation matrix to downselect Raman reporters from the library to choose five candidates: 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, 4-mercaptobenzoic acid, 3,5-dichlorobenzenthiol, pentachlorothiophenol, and 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). We evaluated the ability to distinguish the five SERS reporters in a dipstick immunoassay for the biomarker human IgG. Raman nanotags, or gold nanostars conjugated to the five reporters and anti-human IgG polyclonal antibodies were constructed. A linear discriminant analysis approach was used to evaluate the separation of the nanotag spectra in mixtures of fixed ratios.

Abstract
Stimuli triggered drug delivery systems enable controlled release of drugs at the optimal space and time, thus achieving optimal therapeutic effects. As one of the most important stimuli used in bioapplications, near-infrared (NIR) light possesses unique advantages such as deep tissue penetration with minimum auto-fluorescence & tissue scattering and high biosafety. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are one of the most studied nanocarriers; apart from having a high surface area and large pore volume for loading of drugs, they can be easily functionalized with inorganic nanomaterials and stimuli responsive polymers or organic switch molecules, creating possibilities for designing complex stimuli triggered drug delivery systems. Considering the high tissue penetration depth of NIR light and the unique mesoporous structure of MSNs, NIR responsive inorganic nanoparticle functionalized MSNs can be further combined with stimuli responsive materials to form smart "nano-devices" for controlled drug delivery toward tumors, and to date much progress has been made. In this article, recent advances in the design of NIR triggered mesoporous silica drug delivery systems are systematically summarized and some outstanding studies are highlighted. We will also discuss the shortcomings, challenges and opportunities in the field.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags have attracted tremendous attention in diverse fields owing to their outstanding sensitivity and multiplexing capability. However, the selection of Raman dyes that can be immobilized onto metal nanoparticles is very limited, because certain chemical groups are needed in the dye molecules to interact either with the metal surface or through some intermediate layers. Here, we report a simple, rapid, and robust platform methodology for the one-pot preparation of Raman nanoprobes without the constraints of Raman dye chemical structures. We demonstrate this general approach by immobilizing dye molecules on silver nanoparticle surfaces that were difficult to incorporate previously, and show their applications in multiplexed immunohistochemistry (IHC). We expect that this platform nanotechnology will significantly expand the library of SERS tags and their biomedical uses.

Abstract
Exploring and understanding biological and pathological changes are of great significance for early diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Optical sensing and imaging approaches have experienced major progress in this field. Particularly, an emergence of various functional optical nanoprobes has provided enhanced sensitivity, specificity, targeting ability, as well as multiplexing and multimodal capabilities due to improvements in their intrinsic physicochemical and optical properties. However, one of the biggest challenges of conventional optical nanoprobes is their absolute intensity-dependent signal readout, which causes inaccurate sensing and imaging results due to the presence of various analyte-independent factors that can cause fluctuations in their absolute signal intensity. Ratiometric measurements provide built-in self-calibration for signal correction, enabling more sensitive and reliable detection. Optimizing nanoprobe designs with ratiometric strategies can surmount many of the limitations encountered by traditional optical nanoprobes. This review first elaborates upon existing optical nanoprobes that exploit ratiometric measurements for improved sensing and imaging, including fluorescence, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photoacoustic nanoprobes. Next, a thorough discussion is provided on design strategies for these nanoprobes, and their potential biomedical applications for targeting specific biomolecule populations (e.g. cancer biomarkers and small molecules with physiological relevance), for imaging the tumor microenvironment (e.g. pH, reactive oxygen species, hypoxia, enzyme and metal ions), as well as for intraoperative image guidance of tumor-resection procedures.

Abstract
The combination of multifunctionality and synergestic effect displayed by hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) has been revealed as an effective stratagem in the development of advanced nanostructures with unique biotechnology and optoelectronic applications. Although important work has been devoted, the demand of facile, versatile and efficient synthetic approach remains still challenging. Herein, we report a feasible and innovative way for polymer-shell assembling onto gold nanoparticles in competitive conditions of hydrophobic/hydrophilic feature and interfacial energy of components to generate core-shell nanohybrids with singular morphologies. The fine control of reaction parameters allows a modulated transformation from concentric to eccentric nanostructure-geometries. In this regard, a rational selection of the components and solvent ratio guarantee the reproducibility and efficiency on hybrid-nanoassembly. Furthermore, the simplicity of the synthetic approach offers the possibility to obtain asymmetric Janus NPs and new morphologies (quizzical-aspheric polymer-shell, named Emoji-N-hybrids) with adjustable surface-coating, leading to new properties and applications that are unavailable to their symmetrical or single components.

Abstract
Polymers and nanoparticles can be combined into different materials with applications in various fields like catalysis, biotechnology, or drug delivery, to cite just a few. Colloidal composites may vary significantly, ranging from a single nanoparticle stabilized by a polymer shell through a polymeric carrier decorated with hundreds of particles. We review here composite colloids comprising gold nanoparticles, with an emphasis in systems with potential application in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The focus is on selected strategies for synthesis and functionalization, such as: encapsulation of gold nanoparticles by amphiphilic polymers, polymeric matrices as nanoparticle carriers and smart polymer based composites. We stress the benefits derived from the combination of polymers and metal particles toward SERS, such as chemical and colloidal stabilization in complex environments, and collective optical effects through hot spot generation for optimized SERS enhancement or improved imaging tags.

Abstract
Zika and dengue are mosquito-borne diseases that present similar nonspecific symptoms but possess dramatically different outcomes. The first line of defense in epidemic outbreaks are rapid point-of-care diagnostics. Because many outbreaks occur in areas that are resource poor, assays that are easy to use, inexpensive, and require no power have become invaluable in patient treatment, quarantining, and surveillance. Paper-based sandwich immunoassays such as lateral flow assays (LFAs) are attractive as point-of-care solutions as they have the potential for wider deployability than lab-based assays such as PCR. However, their low sensitivity imposes limitations on their ability to detect low biomarker levels and early diagnosis. Here, we exploit the high sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in a multiplexed assay that can distinguish between Zika and dengue nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) biomarkers. SERS-encoded gold nanostars were conjugated to specific antibodies for both diseases and used in a dipstick immunoassay, which exhibited 15-fold and 7-fold lower detection limits for Zika NS1 and dengue NS1, respectively. This platform combines the simplicity of a LFA with the high sensitivity of SERS and could not only improve Zika diagnosis but also detect diseases sooner after infection when biomarker levels are low.
