Abstract
Spondin-2 (SPON2), also referred to as M-spondin or DIL-1, is a member of the extracellular matrix protein family known as Mindin-F-spondin (FS). SPON2 can be used as a broad-spectrum tumor marker for more than a dozen tumors, mainly prostate cancer. Meanwhile, SPON2 is also a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of certain non-tumor diseases. Additionally, SPON2 plays a pivotal role in regulating tumor metastasis and progression. In normal tissues, SPON2 has a variety of biological functions represented by promoting growth and development and cell proliferation. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the regulatory mechanisms, diagnostic potential as a broad-spectrum biomarker, diverse biological functions, involvement in various signaling pathways, and clinical applications of SPON2.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common male cancer and is attributable to over 375,000 deaths annually. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a key biomarker for PCa and therefore measuring patient PSA levels is an important aspect of the diagnostic pathway. Automated immunoassays are currently utilized for PSA analysis, but they require a laboratory setting with specialized equipment and trained personnel. This results in high diagnostic costs, extended therapeutic turnaround times, and restrictions on testing capabilities in resource-limited settings. Consequently, there is a strong drive to develop point-of-care (PoC) PSA tests that can offer accurate, low-cost, and rapid results at the time and place of the patient. However, many emerging PoC tests experience a trade-off between accuracy, affordability, and accessibility which distinctly limits their translational potential. This review comprehensively assesses the translational advantages and limitations of emerging laboratory-level and commercial PoC tests for PSA determination. Electrochemical and optical PSA sensors from 2013 to 2023 are systematically examined. Furthermore, we suggest how the translational potential of emerging tests can be optimized to achieve clinical implementation and thus improve PCa diagnosis globally.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common tumors and a leading cause of mortality among men, resulting in ~375 000 deaths annually worldwide. Various analytical methods have been designed for quantitative and rapid detection of PC biomarkers. Electrochemical (EC), optical, and magnetic biosensors have been developed to detect tumor biomarkers in clinical and point-of-care (POC) settings. Although POC biosensors have shown potential for detection of PC biomarkers, some limitations, such as the sample preparation, should be considered. To tackle such shortcomings, new technologies have been utilized for development of more practical biosensors. Here, biosensing platforms for the detection of PC biomarkers such as immunosensors, aptasensors, genosensors, paper-based devices, microfluidic systems, and multiplex high-throughput platforms, are discussed.

Abstract
Wearable, point-of-care diagnostics, and biosensors are on the verge of bringing transformative changes in detection, management, and treatment of cancer. Bioinspired materials with new forms and functions have frequently been used, in both translational and commercial spaces, to fabricate such diagnostic platforms. Engineered from organic or inorganic molecules, bioinspired systems are naturally equipped with biorecognition and stimuli-sensitive properties. Mechanisms of action of bioinspired materials are deeply connected with thermodynamically or kinetically controlled self-assembly at the molecular and supramolecular levels. Thus, integration of bioinspired materials into wearable devices, either as triggers or sensors, brings about unique device properties usable for detection, capture, or rapid readout for an analyte of interest. In this review, we present the basic principles and mechanisms of action of diagnostic devices engineered from bioinspired materials, describe current advances, and discuss future trends of the field, particularly in the context of cancer.

Abstract
The development and characterization of a microfluidic electrochemical glucose biosensor are presented herein. The transducer part is based on thin-film metal electrodes on a glass substrate. The biological recognition element of the biosensor is the pyrroloquinoline quinone-glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GdhB) enzyme, selectively in situ immobilized via microcontact printing of a mixed self-assembling monolayer (SAM) on a gold working electrode, while the microfluidic part of the device comprises microchannel and microfluidic connections formed in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer. The electrode properties throughout all steps of biosensor construction and the biosensor response to glucose concentration and analyte flow rate were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. A measurement range of up to 10 mM in glucose concentration with a linear range up to 200 μM was determined. A detection limit of 30 µM in glucose concentration was obtained. Respective biosensor sensitivities of 0.79 nA/µM/mm2 and 0.61 nA/µM/mm2 were estimated with and without a flow at 20 µL/min. The developed approach of in situ enzyme immobilization can find a wide number of applications in the development of microfluidic biosensors, offering a path towards continuous and time-independent detection.

Abstract
The integration of microfluidics with electrochemical analysis has resulted in the development of single miniaturized detection systems, which allows the precise control of sample volume with multianalyte detection capability in a cost- and time-effective manner. Microfluidic electrochemical sensing devices (MESDs) can potentially serve as precise sensing and monitoring systems for the detection of molecular markers in various detrimental diseases. MESDs offer several advantages, including (i) automated sample preparation and detection, (ii) low sample and reagent requirement, (iii) detection of multianalyte in a single run, (iv) multiplex analysis in a single integrated device, and (v) portability with simplicity in application and disposability. Label-free MESDs can serve an affordable real-time detection with a simple analysis in a short processing time, providing point-of-care diagnosis/detection possibilities in precision medicine, and environmental analysis. In the current review, we elaborate on label-free microfluidic biosensors, provide comprehensive insights into electrochemical detection techniques, and discuss the principles of label-free microfluidic-based sensing approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer cells have very high PCA3 messenger RNA levels, which turns it into one of the new biomarkers for prostate cancer prognosis and diagnosis. OBJECTIVE Our goal here is to development a new aptasensor to detect PCA3 release by cancer cell. METHODS DNA hairpin containing PCA3 aptamer was thiolated, conjugated to methylene blue (MB) redox probe and immobilized on gold electrode through self-assembly to detect label-free cancer cells. RESULTS Our data have evidenced stable and sensitive sensor presenting wide linear detection range (0-150 ng/mL). In addition, monitoring PCA3 released by a different type of prostate cells can provide in-depth knowledge about prostate cancer dynamics; therefore, it is a powerful platform for earlier clinical diagnostic. The released PCA3 can vary depending on the type of adopted prostate cells. CONCLUSION PCA3 release was monitored in a group of cells for 2 h; it showed significantly higher expression in both LNCaP and PC-3 cells. This strategy provides unique and simple methodology to achieve more sensitive and specific PCA3 detection; thus, it emerged as promising tool for early cost-effective diagnosis.

A visible and near-infrared light dual responsive "signal-off" and "signal-on" photoelectrochemical aptasensor for prostate-specific antigen. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 202:113905.

Abstract
A visible and near-infrared light dual responsive "signal-off" and "signal-on" photoelectrochemical aptasensor was constructed for determining prostate-specific antigen (PSA) based on MoS2 nanoflowers and gold nanobipyramids. The dual responsive photoelectrochemical aptasensor can provide accurate results for PSA determination. For the photoelectrochemical aptasensor fabrication, amino-group functionalized aptamers were immobilized on a MoS2 nanoflowers modified glassy carbon electrode surface for the specific recognition, and thus to achieve a "signal-off" aptasensor for PSA under visible light illumination. Subsequently, gold nanobipyramids integrated with thiol-functional aptamer were introduced to the "signal-off" aptasensing interface after PSA recognition. Under excitation with near-infrared light at 808 nm, the photocurrent response can be amplified significantly due to the excellent conductivity and local surface plasmon resonance effect of gold nanobipyramids, thus to producing a "signal-on" model for determining PSA. Under the optimized conditions, the dual-responsive photoelectrochemical aptasensor shows a linear response to the logarithm of PSA concentration in the range of 0.005-100 ng/mL. The detection limits for PSA determination with a "signal-off" or a "signal-on" mode are 1.75 pg mL-1 and 0.39 pg mL-1, respectively. The dual-responsive photoelectrochemical aptasensor was also employed for determining PSA in clinical serum samples with satisfactory selectivity and excellent accuracy.

Abstract
Advanced prostate cancer preferential metastasis to bone is associated with osteomimicry. MINDIN is a secreted matrix protein upregulated in prostate tumors that overexpresses bone-related genes during prostate cancer progression. Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF-1) is a scaffold protein that has been involved both in tumor regulation and osteogenesis. We hypothesize that NHERF-1 modulation is a mechanism used by MINDIN to promote prostate cancer progression. We analyzed the expression of NHERF-1 and MINDIN in human prostate samples and in a premetastatic prostate cancer mouse model, based on the implantation of prostate adenocarcinoma TRAMP-C1 (transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate) cells in immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice. The relationship between NHERF-1 and MINDIN and their effects on cell proliferation, migration, survival and osteomimicry were evaluated. Upregulation of MINDIN and downregulation of NHERF-1 expression were observed both in human prostate cancer samples and in the TRAMP-C1 model. MINDIN silencing restored NHERF-1 expression to control levels in the mouse model. Stimulation with MINDIN reduced NHERF-1 expression and triggered its mobilization from the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm in TRAMP-C1 cells. MINDIN-dependent downregulation of NHERF-1 promoted tumor cell migration and proliferation without affecting osteomimicry and adhesion. We propose that MINDIN downregulates NHERF-1 expression leading to promotion of processes involved in prostate cancer progression.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PC) is the sixth most common cancer type in the world, which causes approximately 10% of total cancer fatalities. The detection of protein biomarkers in body fluids is the key topic for the diagnosis and prognosis of PC. Highly sensitive screening of PC is the most effective approach for reducing mortality. Thus, there are a growing number of literature that recognizes the importance of new technologies for early diagnosis of PC. Graphene is playing an important role in the biosensor field with remarkable physical, optical, electrochemical and magnetic properties. Many recent studies demonstrated the potential of graphene materials for sensitive detection of protein biomarkers. In this review, the graphene-based biosensors toward PC analysis are mainly discussed in two groups: Firstly, novel biosensor interfaces were constructed through the modification of graphene materials onto sensor surfaces. Secondly, ingenious signal amplification strategies were developed using graphene materials as catalysts or carriers. Graphene-based biosensors have exhibited remarkable performance with high sensitivities, wide detection ranges, and long-term stabilities.

Abstract
It is critical to reliably and rapidly detect multiple disease biomarkers in tiny liquid samples with high sensitivity to meet the growing demand for point-of-care diagnostics. This paper reports a microfluidic platform integrating magnetic-based single bead trapping in conjunction with acoustic micromixing for simultaneous detection of multiple cancer biomarkers within minutes. Individual beads retained by permalloy (NiFe81/19) microarray were used to capture biomarkers and facilitate the fluorescence identification. A numerical study indicates that the magnetic force keeping a bead in the trap is proportional to the thickness of the permalloy array and the external magnetic field strength, while inversely proportional to the size of the trap. The acoustic microstreaming activated by a piezo transducer was applied to generate fast-switching flow patterns to minimize the diffusion length scales. The flow at various driving frequencies was experimentally tested to achieve the optimal mixing effect. The flow field of the microstreaming was subsequently described by a mathematical model to understand the flow further. Finally, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were employed as model analytes to demonstrate the capability of the platform for rapid biomarker detection. With the aid of acoustic micromixing, the detection can be finished in 20 minutes. The respective limit of detection of PSA and CEA is 0.028 ng mL-1 (0.8 pM) and 3.1 ng mL-1 (17 pM), which is respectively 1/142 and 1/3 of the cutoff value of PSA and CEA. Our results indicate this platform has great potential for the rapid detection of multiple biomarkers in future point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
This chapter describes innovations in biomarker testing that can facilitate earlier and better treatment of patients who suffer from metabolic disorders. The use of new microfluidic devices along with miniaturized biosensors and transducers enables analysis of a single drop of a blood within the time frame of a typical visit to a doctor's office. Steps are underway so that these approaches will incorporate both biochemical and clinical data, resulting in unique bioprofiles for each patient. This will allow earlier, personalized, and more effective therapeutic options. In addition, smartphone apps for self-monitoring will be used increasingly for the best possible patient outcomes.

Abstract
Early prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic is crucial to enhance patient survival rates; besides, non-invasive platforms have been developed worldwide in order to precisely detect PCa biomarkers. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to develop a new aptamer-based biosensor through the self-assembling of thiolated aptamers for PSA and VEGF on the top of gold electrodes. This biosensor was tested in three prostate cell lines (RWPE-1, LNCaP and PC3). The results evidenced a stable and sensitive sensor presenting wide linear detection ranges (0.08-100 ng/mL for PSA and 0.15 ng-100 ng/mL for VEGF). Therefore, the aptasensor was able to detect the patterns of PSA and VEGF released in vitro by PCa cells, which gave new insights about the prostate cancer protein dynamics. Thus, it could be used as a non-invasive PCa clinical diagnosis instrument in the near future. Graphical Abstract Overview of the experimental design applied to the aptamer-based electrochemical sensor self-assembled on the thiolated hairpin structure. A filter membrane was added on top of working electrode to provide the cell-attachment surface after aptamer incubation, without compromising the aptamer layer. The pore membrane allowed target proteins to pass to the aptamer surface; the MCH backfilling avoided unspecific protein binding to the gold electrode surface.

Abstract
Spondin 2 (SPON2) is a member of the F-spondin superfamily of genes that encode an extracellular matrix protein. SPON2 has been identified by mRNA differential display screening of cancerous and noncancerous lung cell lines in vitro [1], however, its role in pulmonary adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients remains unclear. In our study, we evaluated whether SPON2 can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of pulmonary ADC and any association between SPON2 protein levels and clinicopathological characteristics. Firstly, the mRNA levels of SPON2 in pulmonary ADCs and normal adjacent tissue samples were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) (n = 60) assay and the expression of SPON2 protein were detected by tissue microarray immunohistochemistry analysis (TMA-IHC) (n = 280). Overexpression of SPON2 protein in cancerous tissues was associated with the clinical characteristics of ADC patients and their overall survival. Levels of SPON2 mRNA and protein were significantly expressed higher in ADC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues. Finally, through univariate and multivariate regression analysis, we found that overexpression of SPON2 protein levels correlates with differentiation, positive lymph nodes metastasis, higher serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level and poor overall survival. Overexpression of SPON2 protein is an independent prognostic biomarker in ADC patients. Our data revealed that SPON2 played an oncogene role in ADC development and progression. Inhibiting SPON2 might represent a new strategy for pulmonary ADC.

Abstract
Development of an efficient sensing platform capable of continual monitoring of biomarkers is needed to assess the functionality of the in vitro organoids and to evaluate their biological responses toward pharmaceutical compounds or chemical species over extended periods of time. Here, a novel label-free microfluidic electrochemical (EC) biosensor with a unique built-in on-chip regeneration capability for continual measurement of cell-secreted soluble biomarkers from an organoid culture in a fully automated manner without attenuating the sensor sensitivity is reported. The microfluidic EC biosensors are integrated with a human liver-on-a-chip platform for continual monitoring of the metabolic activity of the organoids by measuring the levels of secreted biomarkers for up to 7 d, where the metabolic activity of the organoids is altered by a systemically applied drug. The variations in the biomarker levels are successfully measured by the microfluidic regenerative EC biosensors and agree well with cellular viability and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses, validating the accuracy of the unique sensing platform. It is believed that this versatile and robust microfluidic EC biosensor that is capable of automated and continual detection of soluble biomarkers will find widespread use for long-term monitoring of human organoids during drug toxicity studies or efficacy assessments of in vitro platforms.
