Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent both a key driving force and therapeutic target of tumoral carcinogenesis, tumor evolution, progression, and recurrence. CSC-guided tumor diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance are strategically significant in improving cancer patients' overall survival. Due to the heterogeneity and plasticity of CSCs, high sensitivity, specificity, and outstanding targeting are demanded for CSC detection and targeting. Nanobiotechnologies, including biosensors, nano-probes, contrast enhancers, and drug delivery systems, share identical features required. Implementing these techniques may facilitate the overall performance of CSC detection and targeting. In this review, we focus on some of the most recent advances in how nanobiotechnologies leverage the characteristics of CSC to optimize cancer diagnosis and treatment in liquid biopsy, clinical imaging, and CSC-guided nano-treatment. Specifically, how nanobiotechnologies leverage the attributes of CSC to maximize the detection of circulating tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells, and exosomes, to improve positron emission computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and to enhance the therapeutic effects of cytotoxic therapy, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy therapy, and radioimmunotherapy are reviewed.

Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:375.

Abstract
A simple, rapid, and highly efficient fluorescent detection technique without PCR through dual-probe ligation with the genetic capture of magnetic beads and reported probe was developed for determination of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene exon 19 deletions. The EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation makes up 48% of all mutations associated with anti-tyrosine kinase inhibition sensitivity, and thus, the EGFR nucleotide variant is very important in clinical diagnosis. In this approach, the dual-probe ligation was designed to target exon 19 deletion. The magnetic genetic captured system was then applied to capture the successful dual-probe ligation. Thereafter, a reporter probe which is coupled with 6-fluorescein amidite (6-FAM) was introduced to hybridize with dual-probe ligation product on the surface of streptavidin magnetic beads, and finally, the supernatant was taken for fluorescence measurements for distinguishing mutant types from wild types. After optimization (the RSD of the fluorescent intensity was less than 4.5% (n = 3) under the optimal condition), 20 blind DNA samples from the population were analyzed by this technique and further confirmed by direct sequencing. The results of our assay matched to those from direct sequencing data, evidencing that the developed method is accurate and successful. These 20 blind DNA samples were diagnosed as wild and then spiked with different percentages of the mutant gene to quantify the ratio of the wild and mutant genes. This strategy was also successfully applied to quantify the ratio of the wild and mutant genes with good linearity at the λex/λem of 480 nm/520 nm (r = 0.996), and the limit of detection reached 1.0% mutant type. This simple fluorescent detection of nucleotide variants shows its potential to be considered a tool in biological and clinical diagnosis. Importantly, this strategy offers a universal detection capability for any kind of mutation (point, deletion, insertion, or substitution) in a gene of interest.

Talanta 2023; 260:124624. [PMID: 37187027 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Lung cancer is the main malignant cancer reported worldwide, with one of the lowest survival rates. Deletions in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene are often associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a common subtype of lung cancer. The detection of such mutations provides key information for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease; therefore, the early screening of such biomarkers is of vital importance. The need for fast, reliable, and early detection means applied to NSCLC has led to the development of highly sensitive devices that can detect cancer-associated mutations. Such devices, known as biosensors, are a promising alternative to more conventional detection methods and can potentially alter the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. In this study, we report the development of a DNA-based biosensor, namely a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), applied to the detection of NSCLC, from liquid biopsies samples. The detection, as is the case of most DNA biosensors, is based on the hybridization between the NSCLC-specific probe and the sample DNA (containing specific mutations associated with NSCLC). The surface functionalization was performed with a blocking agent (dithiothreitol) and thiolated-ssDNA strands. The biosensor was able to detect specific DNA sequences in both synthetic and real samples. Aspects such as reutilization and regeneration of the QCM electrode were also studied.

Abstract
Cancer is a genetic disease induced by mutations in DNA, in particular point mutations in important driver genes that lead to protein malfunctioning and ultimately to tumorigenesis. Screening for the most common DNA point mutations, especially in such genes as TP53, BRCA1 and BRCA2, EGFR, KRAS, or BRAF, is crucial to determine predisposition risk for cancer or to predict response to therapy. In this review, we briefly depict how these genes are involved in cancer, followed by a description of the most common techniques routinely applied for their analysis, including high-throughput next-generation sequencing technology and less expensive low-throughput options, such as real-time PCR, restriction fragment length polymorphism, or high resolution melting analysis. We then introduce benefits of electrochemical biosensors as interesting alternatives to the standard methods in terms of cost, speed, and simplicity. We describe most common strategies involved in electrochemical biosensing of point mutations, relying mostly on PCR or isothermal amplification techniques, and critically discuss major challenges and obstacles that, until now, prevented their more widespread application in clinical settings.

Abstract
A 4-way strand exchange competitive DNA testing system based on Holliday junction has an advantage in realizing high sensitivity and specificity simultaneously. However, the kinetics is limited without enzyme assisting. Herein, we constructed a method that combined a 4-way strand migration system and exonuclease III (Exo III). For the properties of Exo III that has high catalytic effects and no specific recognition site, a DNA probe assisted by Exo III is easy to design and synthesize. We applied the system to detect different lengths of deletion mutation, and the results showed that the time to differentiate wild-type DNA and mutant-type DNA was so short within 5-20 min. Besides, the discrimination factor (DF) was as high as 1177.88 for EGFR-15-nt deletion, and the mutation detection limit was as low as 0.02% for PBRM1-8-nt deletion. Without adding any other specific label, the Exo III-amplified 4-way strand migration system is a simple, sensitive, selective, and cost-effective method that suggests a potential possibility for the diagnosis of cancers.

Site-specific insertion of endonuclease recognition sites into amplicons to improve post-PCR analysis sensitivity of gene mutation. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 208:114191.

Abstract
Precise detection of low-frequency gene mutations surrounded by excess wild-type DNA is important in many aspects of medical fields. Most hybridization-based methods for high-resolution mutant allele analysis are hindered by competition of the complementary strand with single-strand probes for the target strand. Here, we demonstrate that site-specific insertion of endonuclease recognition sites into amplicons allows post-PCR generation of short dsDNA or ssDNA, whereby improves the sensitivity of both melting temperature analysis (MTA) and end-point detection following up. Using a three-staged PCR protocol, enrichment of target gene and incorporation of specific restriction sites in amplicons were ensued with hardly any loss in amplification efficiency and specificity. It enables simultaneous discrimination among a panel of totally 11 EGFR 19 exon deletion mutations via MTA after post-PCR digestion by either FokI only or cooperated with CRISPR-Cas12a, using SYBR green I. By replacement of one double-strand cleavage site with a nickase binding domain post-PCR generation of ssDNA of interest via strand displacement amplification (termed as iSDA) is realized. Our preliminary investigation shows that iSDA permits analysis of single nucleotide variants down to 0.1% allelic-frequency using end-point detection. Given the good compatibility with the majority of mutant-enrich PCR methods, we envision it would advance the current gene profiling technologies to a large extent.

Abstract
Graphene- and carbon-based nanomaterials are key materials to develop advanced biosensors for the sensitive detection of many biomarkers owing to their unique properties. Biosensors have attracted increasing interest because they allow efficacious, sensitive, selective, rapid, and low-cost diagnosis. Biosensors are analytical devices based on receptors for the process of detection and transducers for response measuring. Biosensors can be based on electrochemical, piezoelectric, thermal, and optical transduction mechanisms. Early virus identification provides critical information about potentially effective and selective therapies, extends the therapeutic window, and thereby reduces morbidity. The sensitivity and selectivity of graphene can be amended via functionalizing it or conjoining it with further materials. Amendment of the optical and electrical features of the hybrid structure by introducing appropriate functional groups or counterparts is especially appealing for quick and easy-to-use virus detection. Various techniques for the electrochemical detection of viruses depending on antigen-antibody interactions or DNA hybridization are discussed in this work, and the reasons behind using graphene and related carbon nanomaterials for the fabrication are presented and discussed. We review the existing state-of-the-art directions of graphene-based classifications for detecting DNA, protein, and hormone biomarkers and summarize the use of the different biosensors to detect several diseases, like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes, to sense numerous viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, human immunodeficiency virus, rotavirus, Zika virus, and hepatitis B virus, and to detect the recent pandemic virus COVID-19. The general concepts, mechanisms of action, benefits, and disadvantages of advanced virus biosensors are discussed to afford beneficial evidence of the creation and manufacture of innovative virus biosensors. We emphasize that graphene-based nanomaterials are ideal candidates for electrochemical biosensor engineering due to their special and tunable physicochemical properties.

Abstract
During cancer progression, tumors shed different biomarkers into the bloodstream, including circulating tumor cells (CTCs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). The analysis of these biomarkers in the blood, known as 'liquid biopsy' (LB), is a promising approach for early cancer detection and treatment monitoring, and more recently, as a means for cancer therapy. Previous reviews have discussed the role of CTCs and ctDNA in cancer progression; however, ctDNA and EVs are rapidly evolving with technological advancements and computational analysis and are the subject of enormous recent studies in cancer biomarkers. In this review, first, we introduce these cell-released cancer biomarkers and briefly discuss their clinical significance in cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Second, we present conventional and novel approaches for the isolation, profiling, and characterization of these markers. We then investigate the mathematical and in silico models that are developed to investigate the function of ctDNA and EVs in cancer progression. We convey our views on what is needed to pave the way to translate the emerging technologies and models into the clinic and make the case that optimized next-generation techniques and models are needed to precisely evaluate the clinical relevance of these LB markers.

Abstract
Globally, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Despite advancements in chemotherapy and targeted therapies, the 5-year survival rate has remained at 16% for the past forty years. Minimal residual disease (MRD) is described as the existence of either isolated tumour cells or circulating tumour cells in biological liquid of patients after removal of the primary tumour without any clinical signs of cancer. Recently, liquid biopsy has been promising as a non-invasive method of disease monitoring and treatment guidelines as an MRD marker. Liquid biopsy could be used to detect and assess earlier stages of NSCLC, post-treatment MRD, resistance to targeted therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and tumour mutational burden. MRD surveillance has been proposed as a potential marker for lung cancer relapse. Principally, biosensors provide the quantitative analysis of various materials by converting biological functions into quantifiable signals. Biosensors are usually operated to detect antibodies, enzymes, DNA, RNA, extracellular vesicles (EVs) and whole cells. Here, we present a category of biosensors based on the signal transduction method for identifying biosensor-based biomarkers in liquid biopsy specimens to monitor lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
Traditional cancer therapeutics have been criticized due to various adverse effects and insufficient damage to targeted tumors. The breakthrough of nanoparticles provides a novel approach for upgrading traditional treatments and diagnosis. Actually, nanoparticles can not only solve the shortcomings of traditional cancer diagnosis and treatment, but also create brand-new perspectives and cutting-edge devices for tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, most of the research about nanoparticles stays in vivo and in vitro stage, and only few clinical researches about nanoparticles have been reported. In this review, we first summarize the current applications of nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment. After that, we propose the challenges that hinder the clinical applications of NPs and provide feasible solutions in combination with the updated literature in the last two years. At the end, we will provide our opinions on the future developments of NPs in tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
A long-standing goal of nanoelectronics is the development of integrated systems to be used in medicine as sensor, therapeutic, or theranostic devices. In this review, we examine the phenomena of transport and the interaction between electro-active charges and the material at the nanoscale. We then demonstrate how these mechanisms can be exploited to design and fabricate devices for applications in biomedicine and bioengineering. Specifically, we present and discuss electrochemical devices based on the interaction between ions and conductive polymers, such as organic electrochemical transistors (OFETs), electrolyte gated field-effect transistors (FETs), fin field-effect transistor (FinFETs), tunnelling field-effect transistors (TFETs), electrochemical lab-on-chips (LOCs). For these systems, we comment on their use in medicine.

Abstract
Screening epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, especially deletions, is essential for diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and also critical to inform treatment decisions for NSCLC patients. Here, we demonstrated a facile peptide nucleic acid (PNA) microarray-based fluorometric method for sensitive and specific detection of EGFR mutation, using rolling circle amplification (RCA), graphene oxide (GO), and a fluorescently-labeled detection probe (F-DP). First, the EGFR gene sequence was efficiently captured by the label-free PNA probe which was attached on the surface of a 96-well plate. And then, the EGFR mutation sequence was specifically amplified by RCA using the circular DNA, which was formed by the ligation of the padlock probe when hybridizing with the EGFR mutation, as a template. The single-stranded RCA product (RCAP) was then sensitively detected with the F-DP and GO system. This method has a detection limit of 0.3 pM for EGFR mutation and a high discrimination capability to target EGFR mutation against EGFR wildtype. The use of a PNA microarray and a fluorescence quenching platform make this system quite suitable for high-throughput analysis of EGFR mutations in resource-limited settings without the need of costly and cumbersome equipment. Furthermore, this detection system provides a novel way for the diagnosis of other diseases that are caused by gene deletion mutations.

Abstract
Circulating tumour nucleic acids (ctNAs) are released from tumours cells and can be detected in blood samples, providing a way to track tumors without requiring a tissue sample. This "liquid biopsy" approach has the potential to replace invasive, painful, and costly tissue biopsies in cancer diagnosis and management. However, a very sensitive and specific approach is required to detect relatively low amounts of mutant sequences linked to cancer because they are masked by the high levels of wild-type sequences. This review discusses high-performance nucleic acid biosensors for ctNA analysis in patient samples. We compare sequencing- and amplification-based methods to next-generation sensors for ctDNA and ctRNA (including microRNA) profiling, such as electrochemical methods, surface plasmon resonance, Raman spectroscopy, and microfluidics and dielectrophoresis-based assays. We present an overview of the analytical sensitivity and accuracy of these methods as well as the biological and technical challenges they present.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive fluorescence method for early diagnosis of lung cancer via Nafion-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is reported, in this paper. In the proposed method, thiolated peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is modified to amino magnetic beads (MBs) via a cross-linking agent to specifically capture target DNA (tDNA), and the initiator (Nafion) of ATRP is attached to PNA/DNA heteroduplexes based on the phosphate groups of the tDNA and sulfonate groups of Nafion via phosphate-Zr4+-sulfonate chemistry. Nafion as a macroinitiator of ATRP possesses multiple C-F active sites to initiate polymerization, and numerous polymeric chains that significantly amplify the fluorescent signal are formed. Under optimal conditions, a good linear relationship is obtained in the range of 0.1 nM-0.1 fM with correlation coefficients of 0.9975, and the detection limit is as low as 35.5 aM (∼214 molecules). The proposed strategy has several advantages of simplicity, cost-effectiveness, selectivity and sensitivity. More importantly, the anti-interference results demonstrate that the proposed Nafion-initiated ATRP strategy has great potential in bioanalytical applications.

Abstract
As an alternative to most of the reported nucleic acid amplification-based electrochemical DNA biosensors used for detection of trace levels of genomic DNA, we herein present a novel detection concept. The proposed system involves the conversion of two short double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs), labeled with a thiol-tag or biotin-tag, into a single integrated dsDNA containing thiol and biotin at both terminals in the presence of target DNA through ligase chain reaction (LCR) and followed by the immobilization of these integrated dsDNAs on a bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified gold electrode surface. Owing to rapid depletion of the two short dsDNAs via LCR, the integrated dsDNAs were generated in an exponential manner so that this sensoring approach offered a limit of detection of 25 yoctomoles (15 copies in 50 μL sample volumes), a high discrimination of single-base mismatch and a wide linear concentration range (across 6 orders of magnitude) for target DNA. Significantly, the proposed sensor, which has simplicity in operation and ease of miniaturization, detected the target of interest in total nucleic acid extracts derived from clinical serum samples with excellent results, thereby demonstrating its considerable diagnostic potential in fields ranging from virus detection to the diagnosis of genetic diseases.

Abstract
The authors describe an isothermal and ultrasensitive colorimetric DNA assay that consists of two amplification stages using enzymes and a catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA). The first step consists in the selective amplification of DNA using Klenow fragment and nicking enzyme. The second step consists in the amplification of the optical signal by using a catalytic hairpin assembly. After two amplification steps, the DNA reaction induces the aggregation of the red gold nanoparticles to give a blue color shift. The degree of aggregation can be quantified by measurement of the ratio of the UV-vis absorbances of the solutions at 620 and 524 nm which are the wavelengths of the aggregated gold nanoparticles and bare gold nanoparticles. The detection limit is as low as 3.1 fM. Due to the use of a specific enzyme, only the desired DNAs will be detected. The method can be applied to the determination of DNA of various lengths. Despite the presence of large amounts of wildtype DNA, it can readily detect a target DNA. Conceivably, the technique has a large potential because of its high sensitivity and selectivity. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of DNA detection using gold nanoparticles (AuNP), enzymes and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA). Effective DNA detection is achieved through the aggregation of AuNPs which is caused by DNA amplification using enzymes and signal amplification using CHA.

Abstract
Lung cancer is undoubtedly one of the most serious health issues of the 21 st century. It is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women worldwide, accounting for about 1.5 million deaths annually. Despite advances in the treatment of lung cancer with new pharmaceutical products and technological improvements, morbidity and mortality rates remains a significant challenge for the cancer biologists and oncologists. The vast majority of lung cancer patients present with advanced-stage of pathological process that ultimately leads to poor prognosis and a five-year survival rate less than 20%. Early and accurate screening and analysis using cost-effective means are urgently needed to effectively diagnose the disease, improve the survival rate or to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with lung cancer patients. Thus, the only hope for early recognition of risk factors and timely diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer is biosensors technology. Novel biosensing based diagnostics approaches for predicting metastatic risks are likely to have significant therapeutic and clinical impact in the near future. This article systematically provides a brief overview of various biosensing platforms for identification of lung cancer disease biomarkers, with a specific focus on recent advancements in electrochemical and optical biosensors, analytical performances of different biosensors, challenges and further research opportunities for routine clinical analysis.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of lung cancer helps to reduce the cancer death rate significantly. Over the years, investigators worldwide have extensively investigated many screening modalities for lung cancer detection, including computerized tomography, chest X-ray, positron emission tomography, sputum cytology, magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy. However, these techniques are not suitable for patients with other pathologies. Developing a rapid and sensitive technique for early diagnosis of lung cancer is urgently needed. Biosensor-based techniques have been recently recommended as a rapid and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis of lung tumor markers. This paper reviews the recent development in screening and biosensor-based techniques for early lung cancer detection.

Abstract
The emergence of nanotechnology has opened new horizons for constructing efficient recognition interfaces. This is the first report where the potential of a multiwalled carbon nanotube based zinc nanocomposite (MWCNTs-Zn NPs) investigated for the detection of an agricultural pathogen i.e. Chili leaf curl betasatellite (ChLCB). Atomic force microscope analyses revealed the presence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) having a diameter of 50-100nm with zinc nanoparticles (Zn-NPs) of 25-500nm. In this system, these bunches of Zn-NPs anchored along the whole lengths of MWCNTs were used for the immobilization of probe DNA strands. The electrochemical performance of DNA biosensor was assessed in the absence and presence of the complementary DNA during cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry scans. Target binding events occurring on the interface surface patterned with single-stranded DNA was quantitatively translated into electrochemical signals due to hybridization process. In the presence of complementary target DNA, as the result of duplex formation, there was a decrease in the peak current from 1.89×10-04 to 5.84×10-05A. The specificity of this electrochemical DNA biosensor was found to be three times as compared to non-complementary DNA. This material structuring technique can be extended to design interfaces for the recognition of the other plant viruses and biomolecules.
