Emerging Biosensing Methods to Monitor Lung Cancer Biomarkers in Biological Samples: A Comprehensive Review. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3414. [PMID: 37444523 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15133414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed of all cancers and one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among men and women worldwide, causing 1.5 million deaths every year. Despite developments in cancer treatment technologies and new pharmaceutical products, high mortality and morbidity remain major challenges for researchers. More than 75% of lung cancer patients are diagnosed in advanced stages, leading to poor prognosis. Lung cancer is a multistep process associated with genetic and epigenetic abnormalities. Rapid, accurate, precise, and reliable detection of lung cancer biomarkers in biological fluids is essential for risk assessment for a given individual and mortality reduction. Traditional diagnostic tools are not sensitive enough to detect and diagnose lung cancer in the early stages. Therefore, the development of novel bioanalytical methods for early-stage screening and diagnosis is extremely important. Recently, biosensors have gained tremendous attention as an alternative to conventional methods because of their robustness, high sensitivity, inexpensiveness, and easy handling and deployment in point-of-care testing. This review provides an overview of the conventional methods currently used for lung cancer screening, classification, diagnosis, and prognosis, providing updates on research and developments in biosensor technology for the detection of lung cancer biomarkers in biological samples. Finally, it comments on recent advances and potential future challenges in the field of biosensors in the context of lung cancer diagnosis and point-of-care applications.

[PMID: 36640707 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2022.124244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Revised: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed vesicles secreted from mammalian cells. EVs act as multicomponent delivery vehicles to carry a wide variety of biological molecular information and participate in intercellular communications. Since elevated levels of EVs are associated with some pathological states such as inflammatory diseases and cancers, probing circulating EVs holds a great potential for early diagnostics. To this end, several detection methods have been developed in which biosensors have attracted great attentions in identification of EVs due to their simple instrumentation, versatile design and portability for point-of-care applications. The concentrations of EVs in bodily fluids are extremely low (i.e. 1-100 per μl) at early stages of a disease, which necessitates the use of signal amplification strategies for EVs detection. In this way, this review presents and discusses various amplification strategies for EVs biosensors based on detection modalities including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), calorimetry, fluorescence, electrochemical and electrochemiluminescence (ECL). In addition, microfluidic systems employed for signal amplification are reviewed and discussed in terms of their design and integration with the detection methods.

Abstract
Aptasensors have attracted considerable interest and widespread application in point-of-care testing worldwide. One of the biggest challenges of a point-of-care (POC) is the reduction of treatment time compared to central facilities that diagnose and monitor the applications. Over the past decades, biosensors have been introduced that offer more reliable, cost-effective, and accurate detection methods. Aptamer-based biosensors have unprecedented advantages over biosensors that use natural receptors such as antibodies and enzymes. In the current epidemic, point-of-care testing (POCT) is advantageous because it is easy to use, more accessible, faster to detect, and has high accuracy and sensitivity, reducing the burden of testing on healthcare systems. POCT is beneficial for daily epidemic control as well as early detection and treatment. This review provides detailed information on the various design strategies and virus detection methods using aptamer-based sensors. In addition, we discussed the importance of different aptamers and their detection principles. Aptasensors with higher sensitivity, specificity, and flexibility are critically discussed to establish simple, cost-effective, and rapid detection methods. POC-based aptasensors' diagnostic applications are classified and summarised based on infectious and infectious diseases. Finally, the design factors to be considered are outlined to meet the future of rapid POC-based sensors.

Abstract
A high-sensitivity surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on the coupling of Au grating and Au film is investigated through simulations and experiments. The SPR sensor is designed by using a hybrid method composed of genetic algorithm (GA) and rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA). The numerical results indicate the sensor has an angular sensitivity of 397.3°/RIU (refractive index unit), which is approximately 2.81 times higher than the conventional Au-based sensor and it is verified by experiments. Theoretical analysis, by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, demonstrates the co-coupling between surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating on the surface of Au film and localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in the Au grating nanostructure, improving the sensitivity of the SPR sensor. According to the optimized structural parameters, the proposed sensor is fabricated using e-beam lithography and magnetron sputtering. In addition, the proposed sensor is very sensitive to the detection of small molecules. The limit of detection (LOD) for okadaic acid (OA) is 0.72 ng/mL based on an indirect competitive inhibition method, which is approximately 38 times lower than the conventional Au sensor. Such a high-sensitivity SPR biosensor has potential in the applications of immunoassays and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
A label-free homogeneous electrochemical aptasensor was developed for detection of thrombin based on proximity hybridization triggered hybridization chain reaction induced G-quadruplex formation. Thrombin promoted the formation of a complex via the proximity hybridization of the aptamer DNA strands, which unfolded the molecular beacon, the stem part of molecular beacon as a primer to initiate the hybridization chain reaction process. Thus, with the electrochemical indicator hemin selectively intercalated into the multiple G-quadruplexes, a significant electrochemical signal drop is observed, which is dependent on the concentration of the target thrombin. Thus, using this"signal-off" mode, label-free homogeneous electrochemical strategy for sensitive thrombin assay with a detection limit of 44 fM is realized. Furthermore, this method also exhibits additional advantages of simplicity and low cost, since both expensive labeling and sophisticated probe immobilization processes are avoided. Its high sensitivity, acceptable accuracy, and satisfactory versatility of analytes led to various applications in bioanalysis.

Abstract
An aptamer based assay is described for the colorimetric detection of adenosine. The presence of adenosine triggers the deformation of hairpin DNA oligonucleotide (HP1) containing adenosine aptamer and then hybridizes another unlabeled hairpin DNA oligonucleotide (HP2). This leads to the formation of a double strand with a blunt 3' terminal. After exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted degradation, the guanine-rich strand (GRS) is released from HP2. Hence, the adenosine-HP1 complex is released to the solution where it can hybridize another HP2 and initiate many cycles of the digestion reaction with the assistance of Exo III. This leads to the generation of a large number of GRS strands after multiple cycles. The GRS stabilize the red AuNPs against aggregation in the presence of potassium ions. If, however, GRS forms a G-quadruplex, it loses its ability to protect gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from salt-induced AuNP aggregation. Therefore, the color of the solution changes from red to blue which can be visually observed. This colorimetric assay has a 0.13 nM detection limit and a wide linear range that extends from 5 nM to 1 μM.

Abstract
Single molecule force spectroscopy based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a simple and sensitive technique to probe molecular recognition forces. Here we demonstrate that visual color-intensity analysis of single molecule force mapping (SMFM) can be employed as a quick and convenient force-to-color detection towards the presence of various dissolved analytes in very low concentrations. To achieve this aim, analyte-specific single-strand DNA aptamers are first bound to an AFM tip. The measured forces between the functionalized tip and a suitable substrate, namely either a clean surface or a surface functionalized with the complementary DNA oligomer, change when a critical concentration of the analyte is reached. The current SMFM-based visual biosensing shows improved developments like higher sensitivity, lower detection limits, quicker detection, and much simple readout. The color of the obtained force maps reveals the force intensity, which gives a highly selective and immediate visual force-to-color response towards the presence of adenosine (above ∼0.1 nM) and Hg2+ (∼10 pM). The strategies shown in this work will be helpful to design and fabricate aptasensors for biomedical analysis as well as to understand the molecular interactions between DNA hybridization.

Abstract
A novel nanostructured biosensing platform was designed based on two-dimensional (2D) nanocomposite of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets and MoS2 quantum dots (MoS2 QDs), followed by decoration with chitosan-stabilized Au nanoparticles (CS-AuNPs) (denoted as MoS2QDs@g-C3N4@CS-AuNPs), of which CS-AuNPs were prepared by plasma enhanced-chemical vapor deposition. Owning to the good surface plasmon performance of the CS-AuNPs and excellent electrochemical activity of MoS2QDs@g-C3N4 nanosheets, the as-obtained 2D MoS2QDs@g-C3N4@CS-AuNPs nanocomposite was simultaneously explored to construct both surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR) sensor and electrochemical aptasensor. The MoS2QDs@g-C3N4@CS-AuNPs-based aptasensor shows strong bio-binding affinity toward the prostate specific antigen (PSA) targeted aptamer strands as compared to the individual component, including MoS2 QDs, g-C3N4, and CS-AuNPs. When detecting PSA, the low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.71 pg mL-1 deduced by electrochemical aptasensor is three orders of magnitude lower than that deduced by SPR sensor (0.77 ng mL-1). As expected, both SPR sensor and electrochemical aptasensor demonstrate good selectivity, highly stability, acceptable reproducibility, and well consistent applicability in human serum. The satisfactory results suggest potential application of the MoS2QDs@g-C3N4@CS-AuNPs in bifunctional biosensing fields and clinical monitoring of cancer markers.

Abstract
Plasmonics-based biosensing assays have been extensively employed for biomedical applications. Significant advancements in use of plasmonic assays for the construction of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic methods have been made to provide effective and urgent health care of patients, especially in resourcelimited settings. This rapidly progressive research area, centered on the unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties of metallic nanostructures with exceptional absorption and scattering abilities, has greatly facilitated the development of cost-effective, sensitive, and rapid strategies for disease diagnostics and improving patient healthcare in both developed and developing worlds. This review highlights the recent advances and applications of plasmonic technologies for highly sensitive protein and nucleic acid biomarker detection. In particular, we focus on the implementation and penetration of various plasmonic technologies in conventional molecular diagnostic assays, and discuss how such modification has resulted in simpler, faster, and more sensitive alternatives that are suited for point-of-use.

Abstract
Adenosine is an endogenous nucleotide pivotally involved in nucleic acid and energy metabolism. Its excessive existence may indicate tumorigenesis, typically lung cancer. Encouraged by its significance as the clinical biomarker, sensitive assay methods towards adenosine have been popularized, with high cost and tedious procedures as the inevitable defects. Herein, we report a label-free aptamer-based exonuclease III (Exo III) amplification colorimetric aptasensor for the highly sensitive and cost-effective detection of adenosine. The strategy employed two unlabeled hairpin DNA oligonucleotides (HP1 and HP2), where HP1 contained the aptamer towards adenosine and HP2 embedded the guanine-rich sequence (GRS). In the presence of adenosine, hairpin HP1 could form specific binding with adenosine and trigger the unfolding of HP1's hairpin structure. The resulting adenosine-HP1 complex could hybridize with HP2, generating the Exo III recognition site. After Exo III-assisted degradation, the GRS was released from HP2, and the adenosine-HP1 was released back to the solution to combine another HP2, inducing the cycling amplification. After multiple circulations, the released ample GRSs were induced to form G-quadruplex, further catalyzing the oxidation of TMB, yielding a color change which was finally mirrored in the absorbance change. On the contrary, the absence of adenosine failed to unfold HP1, remaining color unchanged eventually. Thanks to the amplification strategy, the limit of detection was lowered to 17 nM with a broad linear range from 50 nM to 6 μM. The proposed method was successfully applied to the detection of adenosine in biological samples and satisfying recoveries were acquired.

In this work, a simple and highly sensitive label-free electrochemical aptasensor for adenosine detection was developed based on target-aptamer binding triggered nicking endonuclease-assisted strand-replacement DNA polymerization and rolling circle amplification (RCA) strategy. The magnetic beads (MB) probe, which was attached the aptamer of adenosine and mDNA, was firstly fabricated. In the presence of adenosine, mDNA was released from MB upon recognition of the aptamer to target adenosine. The released mDNA as the primer activated autonomous DNA polymerization/nicking process and accompanied by the continuous release of replicated DNA fragments. Subsequently, numerous released DNA fragments were captured on the working electrode, and then as initiators to trigger the downstream RCA process leading to the formation of a long ssDNA concatemer for loading large amounts of Ru(NH3)63+. Therefore, a conspicuously amplified electrochemical signal through the developed dual-amplification strategy could be achieved. This method exhibited a high sensitivity toward adenosine with a detection limit of 0.032nM. Also, it exhibited high selectivity to different nucleoside families and good reproducibility. This design opens new horizons for integrating different disciplines, presenting a versatile tool for ultrasensitive detecting organic small molecules in medical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Imidazole was tethered to the C5 position of thymine in an ATP-binding DNA aptamer with two types of linkers, and the affinities of each aptamer for ATP and AMP were determined by surface plasmon resonance measurements. The imidazole-tethered aptamers exhibited higher affinity for ATP, almost independently of the linker structure or the modification site.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a label-free detection method which has emerged during the last two decades as a suitable and reliable platform in clinical analysis for biomolecular interactions. The technique makes it possible to measure interactions in real-time with high sensitivity and without the need of labels. This review article discusses a wide range of applications in optical-based sensors using either surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI). Here we summarize the principles, provide examples, and illustrate the utility of SPR and SPRI through example applications from the biomedical, proteomics, genomics and bioengineering fields. In addition, SPR signal amplification strategies and surface functionalization are covered in the review.
