High-throughput extraction on a dynamic solid phase for low-abundance biomarker isolation from biological samples. MICROSYSTEMS & NANOENGINEERING 2023; 9:109. [PMID: 37680311 PMCID: PMC10480215 DOI: 10.1038/s41378-023-00582-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
Liquid biopsy, in particular circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis, has paved the way for a new noninvasive approach to cancer diagnosis, treatment selection and follow-up. As a crucial step in the analysis, the extraction of the genetic material from a complex matrix needs to meet specific requirements such as high specificity and low loss of target. Here, we developed a new generation of microfluidic fluidized beds (FBs) that enable the efficient extraction and preconcentration of specific ctDNA sequences from human serum with flow rates up to 15 µL/min. We first demonstrated that implementation of a vibration system inducing flow rate fluctuations combined with a mixture of different bead sizes significantly enhanced bead homogeneity, thereby increasing capture efficiency. Taking advantage of this new generation of high-throughput magnetic FBs, we then developed a new method to selectively capture a double-stranded (dsDNA) BRAF mutated DNA sequence in complex matrices such as patient serum. Finally, as proof of concept, ligation chain reaction (LCR) assays were performed to specifically amplify a mutated BRAF sequence, allowing the detection of concentrations as low as 6 × 104 copies/µL of the mutated DNA sequence in serum.

Abstract
Recent advances in nano/microfluidics have led to the miniaturization of surface-based chemical and biochemical sensors, with applications ranging from environmental monitoring to disease diagnostics. These systems rely on the detection of analytes flowing in a liquid sample, by exploiting their innate nature to react with specific receptors immobilized on the microchannel walls. The efficiency of these systems is defined by the cumulative effect of analyte detection speed, sensitivity, and specificity. In this perspective, we provide a fresh outlook on the use of important parameters obtained from well-characterized analytical models, by connecting the mass transport and reaction limits with the experimentally attainable limits of analyte detection efficiency. Specifically, we breakdown when and how the operational (e.g., flow rates, channel geometries, mode of detection, etc.) and molecular (e.g., receptor affinity and functionality) variables can be tailored to enhance the analyte detection time, analytical specificity, and sensitivity of the system (i.e., limit of detection). Finally, we present a simple yet cohesive blueprint for the development of high-efficiency surface-based microfluidic sensors for rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of chemical and biochemical analytes, pertinent to a variety of applications.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most significant post-translational modifications occurring to proteins, since it affects some of their basic properties, such as their half-life or biological activity. The developments in analytical methodologies has greatly contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the glycosylation state of proteins. Despite those advances, the difficulty of a full characterization of glycosylation still remains, mainly due to the complexity of the glycoprotein and/or glycopeptide mixture especially when they are present in complex biological samples. For this reason, various techniques that allow a prior selective enrichment of exclusively glycosylated proteins or glycopeptides have been developed in the past and are coupled either on- or off- line with separation and detection methods. One of the most commonly implemented enrichment methods includes the use of lectin proteins immobilized on various solid supports. Lectins are a group of different, naturally occurring proteins that share a common characteristic, which concerns their affinity for specific sugar moieties of glycoproteins. This review presents the different formats and conditions for the use of lectins in affinity chromatography and in solid phase extraction, including their use in dispersive mode, along with the recent progress made on either commercial or home-made lectin-based affinity sorbents, which can lead to a fast and automated glycosylation analysis.

Abstract
We present a lithography-free procedure for fabricating intrinsically three-dimensional microchannels within PDMS elastomers using nylon monofilament molds. We embedded nylon monofilaments in an uncured PDMS composite to fabricate straight channels of desired length, for use as molds to form the microchannels. Next, we fabricated two layer devices consisting of dialysis membranes, which preconcentrate specific proteins in accordance with molecular weight, in between two layers of PDMS substrates with embedded microchannels. Because of the membrane isolation, analyte exchange between two fluidic layers can be precisely controlled by an applied voltage. More importantly, given that only small molecules pass through the dialysis membrane, the integrated membrane is suitable for molecular sieving or size exclusion for a concentrator prior to microchip electrophoresis. Researchers can use our microchip design for online purification and preconcentration of proteins in the presence of excess reagent immediately after fluorescent labeling. This method's technical advantage is that three-dimensional microstructures, such as microchannels that have a circular cross-section, are readily attainable and can be fabricated in a straightforward manner without using specialized equipment. Our method is a low-cost, environmentally sustainable procedure for fabricating microfluidic devices, and will render microfluidic processes more accessible and easy to implement.

Abstract
Microfluidics is the advanced microtechnology of fluid manipulation in channels with at least one dimension in the range of 1-100 microns. Microfluidic technology offers a growing number of tools for manipulating small volumes of fluid to control chemical, biological, and physical processes relevant to separation, analysis, and detection. Currently, microfluidic devices play an important role in many biological, chemical, physical, biotechnological and engineering applications. There are numerous ways to fabricate the necessary microchannels and integrate them into microfluidic platforms. In peptidomics and proteomics, microfluidics is often used in combination with mass spectrometric (MS) analysis. This review provides an overview of using microfluidic systems for peptidomics, proteomics and cell analysis. The application of microfluidics in combination with MS detection and other novel techniques to answer clinical questions is also discussed in the context of disease diagnosis and therapy. Recent developments and applications of capillary and microchip (electro)separation methods in proteomic and peptidomic analysis are summarized. The state of the art of microchip platforms for cell sorting and single-cell analysis is also discussed. Advances in detection methods are reported, and new applications in proteomics and peptidomics, quality control of peptide and protein pharmaceuticals, analysis of proteins and peptides in biomatrices and determination of their physicochemical parameters are highlighted.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 251:119436.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the suitability of flow injection spectrophotometry (FIS) to analyze three degraded therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (bevacizumab, nivolumab, and rituximab). For this purpose, aggregates were generated with stirring, freeze-thaw, and heat stresses. The intact and stressed mab samples were filtered with 0.22 µm hydrophilic filters and analyzed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC), cation-exchange chromatography (CEX), and FIS. In terms of quantitative and qualitative analysis, protein loss and structural changes were assessed. Various aggregates profiles were obtained according to the mabs and the stresses. FIS allowed performing very satisfactory quantifications for each mab with intermediate precision RSD < 3.0 % and recovery between 97.9 and 102.0 %. From the protein loss measurements, it appears that SEC underestimates the mab aggregate proportions up to two times less as compared with FIS since the latter avoids any non-specific interactions (electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions). Using second derivative spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis, we noticed apparent structural differences, located in the regions 245-265 nm for rituximab and nivolumab and 280-300 nm for bevacizumab, depending on the stress. The FIS complementarity with the other techniques used in this study allowed us to demonstrate that the three mabs behave differently for a given stress condition. While extreme mechanical stress formed large aggregates irrespective of the mabs, rituximab showed to be less stable and more sensitive than the two other mabs under freeze-thaw and heat stresses, generating large aggregates (>200 nm) and partial unfolding. Nivolumab tends to form small aggregates less than 50 nm when heated and freeze-thawed. Moreover, freeze-thaw seems to generate native IgG-1 aggregates with rituximab. Similarly, bevacizumab showed to form these IgG-1 aggregates and was resistant to freeze-thaw, likely thanks to trehalose cryoprotectant from its formulation. Finally, FIS associated with multivariate analysis can provide rich information in one single run and appears to be a fast, simple, and reliable method to set complementary and orthogonal approaches for protein aggregates monitoring.

Abstract
The analysis of protein antigens as biomarkers in clinical samples is particularly helpful for the early diagnosis of diseases. However, this is difficult to accomplish owing to the presence of the antigens in trace amounts as well as the complexity of the matrixes in clinical samples. In this study, a lab-on-membrane platform that can be combined with paper spray ionization mass spectrometry was developed for the in situ high-throughput sensitive detection of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The sensitivity of the proposed platform was enhanced via two strategies: (1) the synthesis of a biotin-streptavidin scaffold caused an increase in the capturing efficiency of PSA by a factor of 5 and (2) the immobilization of a large number of mass tag molecules on the gold nanoparticles allowed for the amplification of the mass spectrometry signals. The limit of detection was approximately 3.0 pg mL-1. The selectivity to PSA was guaranteed by using an antibody-aptamer pairing sandwich immunoassay, and PSA detection was unaffected even when other protein antigens (carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 125) were present. The modified membranes maintained their performance for at least 30 days when stored at 4 °C. Finally, analysis of human serum samples confirmed that the PSA concentration as determined using the proposed platform was consistent with that determined with a conventional chemiluminescent immunoassay. Thus, this PSA analyzing platform is suitable for prostate cancer diagnosis in clinical settings.

Abstract
This work demonstrates for the first time the creation of microchip electrophoresis devices with ∼50 μm cross-sectional dimensions by stereolithographic 3D printing and their application in the analysis of medically significant biomarkers related to risk for preterm birth (PTB). We determined that device current was linear with applied potential up to 800 V (620 V/cm). We optimized device and separation conditions using fluorescently labeled amino acids as a model system and compared the performance in our 3D printed microfluidic devices to that in other device materials commonly used for microchip electrophoresis analysis. We demonstrated for the first time microchip electrophoresis in a 3D printed device of three PTB biomarkers, including peptides and a protein, with suitable separation characteristics. Limits of detection for microchip electrophoresis in 3D printed microfluidic devices were also determined for PTB biomarkers to be in the high picomolar to low nanomolar range.

Abstract
Micro-/nanofluidics has received considerable attention over the past two decades, which allows efficient biomolecule trapping and preconcentration due to ion concentration polarization (ICP) within nanostructures. The rich scientific content related to ICP has been widely exploited in different applications including protein concentration, biomolecules sensing and detection, cell analysis, and water purification. Compared to pure microfluidic devices, micro-/nanofluidic devices show a highly efficient sample enrichment capacity and nonlinear electrokinetic flow feature. These two unique characterizations make the micro-/nanofluidic systems promising in high-performance bioanalysis. This review provides a comprehensive description of the ICP phenomenon and its applications in bioanalysis. Perspectives are also provided for future developments and directions of this research field.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2018; 411:5405-5413. [PMID: 30382326 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-018-1440-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2018] [Revised: 10/04/2018] [Accepted: 10/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Preterm birth (PTB) is defined as birth before the 37th week of pregnancy and results in 15 million early deliveries worldwide every year. Presently, there is no clinical test to determine PTB risk; however, a panel of nine biomarkers found in maternal blood serum has predictive power for a subsequent PTB. A significant step in creating a clinical diagnostic for PTB is designing an automated method to extract and purify these biomarkers from blood serum. Here, microfluidic devices with 45 μm × 50 μm cross-section channels were 3D printed with a built-in polymerization window to allow a glycidyl methacrylate monolith to be site-specifically polymerized within the channel. This monolith was then used as a solid support to attach antibodies for PTB biomarker extraction. Using these functionalized monoliths, it was possible to selectively extract a PTB biomarker, ferritin, from buffer and a human blood serum matrix. This is the first demonstration of monolith formation in a 3D printed microfluidic device for immunoaffinity extraction. Notably, this work is a crucial first step toward developing a 3D printed microfluidic clinical diagnostic for PTB risk.

Abstract
An ionic liquid-based headspace in-tube liquid-phase microextraction (IL-HS-ITLPME) in-line coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE) is proposed. The method is capable of quantifying trace amounts of phenols in environmental water samples. In the newly developed method, simply by placing a capillary injected with IL in the HS above the aqueous sample, volatile phenols were extracted into the IL acceptor phase in the capillary. After extraction, electrophoresis of the phenols in the capillary was carried out. Extraction parameters such as the extraction time, extraction temperature, ionic strength, volume of the sample solution and IL types were systematically investigated. Under the optimized conditions, enrichment factors for four phenols were from 1510 to 1985. The proposed method provided a good linearity, low limits of detection (below 5.0 ng mL-1 ), and good repeatability of the extractions (RSDs below 6.7%, n = 6). This method was then utilized to analyze two real environmental samples of Xiaoxi Lake and tap water, obtaining acceptable recoveries and precisions. Compared with the usual HS-ITLPME for CE, IL-HS-ITLPME-CE is a simple, low-cost, fast and environmentally friendly pre-concentration technique. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC), or micro-Total Analysis Systems (μTAS), is recognized as a powerful analytical technology with high capabilities, though end-user products for protein purification are still far from being available on the market. Remarkable progress has been achieved in the separation of nucleic acids and proteins using electrophoretic microfluidic devices, while pintsize devices have been developed for protein isolation according to miniaturized chromatography principles (size, charge, affinity, etc.). In this work, we review the latest advances in the fabrication of components, detection methods and commercial implementation for the separation of biological macromolecules based on microfluidic systems, with some critical remarks on the perspectives of their future development towards standardized microfluidic systems and protocols. An outlook on the current needs and future applications is also presented.

Abstract
The review brings a comprehensive overview of recent developments and applications of high performance capillary and microchip electroseparation methods (zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and electrochromatography) to analysis, microscale isolation, purification, and physicochemical and biochemical characterization of peptides in the years 2015, 2016, and ca. up to the middle of 2017. Advances in the investigation of electromigration properties of peptides and in the methodology of their analysis (sample preseparation, preconcentration and derivatization, adsorption suppression and EOF control, and detection) are described. New developments in particular CE and CEC methods are presented and several types of their applications to peptide analysis are reported: qualitative and quantitative analysis, determination in complex (bio)matrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatical reactions and physical changes, amino acid, sequence and chiral analysis, and peptide mapping of proteins. Some micropreparative peptide separations are shown and capabilities of CE and CEC methods to provide important physicochemical characteristics of peptides are demonstrated.
