PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 315:124269. [PMID: 38608561 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
A colorimetric immunoassay was built for determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on papain-based colorimetric catalytic sensing system through the use of glucose oxidase (GOx). In the presence of GOx, glucose was catalytically oxidized to produce H2O2. Through the assistance of papain (as a peroxide mimetic enzyme), the signal came from the oxidative color development of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB, from colorless to blue) catalyzed by the generated H2O2. Herein, a sandwich-type immunoassay was built based on GOx as labels. As the concentration of CEA increased, more GOx-labeled antibodies specifically associate with target, which leaded to more H2O2 generation. Immediately following this, more TMB were oxidized with the addition of papain. Accordingly, the absorbance increased further. As a result, the concentration of CEA is positively correlated with the change in absorbance of the solution. Under optimal conditions, the CEA concentration was linear in the range of 0.05-20.0 ng/mL, and the limit of detection (LOD) reached 37 pg/mL. The papain-based colorimetric immunoassay also exhibited satisfactory repeatability, stability, and selectivity.

Abstract
Golgi protein 73 (GP73) is a new serum marker associated with early diagnosis and postoperative assessment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, an electrochemical/fluorescence dual-signal biosensor was designed for determination of GP73 based on molybdenum disulfide/ferrocene/palladium nanoparticles (MoS2-Fc-PdNPs) and nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs). GP73 aptamer (Apt) was labeled with NGQDs to form the NGQDs-Apt fluorescence probe. MoS2-Fc-PdNPs served not only as the fluorescence quencher but also as electrochemical enhancer. The sensing platform (NGQDs-Apt/MoS2-Fc-PdNPs) was formed based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism. In the presence of GP73, the specific binding of NGQDs-Apt to GP73 interrupted FRET, restoring the fluorescence of NGQDs-Apt at λex/em = 348/438 nm and enhancing the oxidation current of Fc in MoS2-Fc-PdNPs at 0.04 V through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under the optimal conditions, the DPV current change and fluorescence recovery have a good linear relationship with GP73 concentration from 1.00 to 10.0 ng/mL. The calibration equation for the fluorescence mode was Y1 = (0.0213 ± 0.00127)X + (0.0641 ± 0.00448) and LOD was 0.812 ng/mL (S/N = 3). The calibration equation of the electrochemical mode was Y2 = (3.41 ± 0.111)X + (1.62 ± 0.731), and LOD of 0.0425 ng/mL (S/N = 3). The RSDs of fluorescence mode and electrochemical mode after serum detection were 1.62 to 5.21% and 0.180 to 6.62%, respectively. By combining the electrochemical and fluorescence assay, more comprehensive and valuable information for GP73 was provided. Such dual-mode detection platform shows excellent reproducibility, stability, and selectivity and has great application potential.

Abstract
A highly sensitive fluorescent aptasensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was developed by employing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as an energy donor and WS2 nanosheets as an energy acceptor, respectively. Polyacrylic acid (PAA) modified NaYF4:Yb/Er UCNPs and an amine modified CEA aptamer were linked together by a covalent bond. Owing to the physical adsorption between WS2 nanosheets and the CEA aptamer, the UCNPs-aptamer was close to WS2 nanosheets, resulting in upconversion fluorescence energy transfer from UCNPs to WS2 nanosheets, and the UCNP fluorescence was quenched. With the introduction of CEA into the UCNPs-aptamer complex system, the aptamer preferentially bound to CEA resulting in a change in spatial conformation which caused UCNPs to depart from WS2 nanosheets. As a result, the energy transfer was inhibited and the fluorescence of UCNPs was observed again, and the degree of fluorescence recovery was linearly related to the concentration of CEA in a range of 0.05-10 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection of 0.008 ng mL-1. Furthermore, the aptasensor based on UCNPs and WS2 nanosheets could be competent for detecting CEA in human serum, which suggests the great application potential of the proposed aptasensor in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Boronic Acid Sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability are of great importance for tumor diagnosis. Herein, we proposed a novel electrochemical and fluorescent dual-sensing strategy to detect carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA). To this end, monodisperse spindle-like magnetic copper silicate (FeOx@C@CS) was prepared with multiple active sites to immobilize the CEA antibody. Moreover, magnetic properties improved the anti-interference ability and sensitivity to endow the assay for complex samples. In addition, boronic acid-conjugated gold nanocluster (AuNCs@keratin-BA) was prepared as an electrochemical and fluorescent dual-signal indicator. Thus, the sandwich structure of FeOx@C@CS/CEA/AuNCs@keratin-BA was formed for electrochemical/fluorescent dual-modality assay. Under optimal conditions, the quantitation range of 12.5 fg mL-1-37.5 pg mL-1 and detection limit of 4.3 fg mL-1 were obtained for the electrochemical strategy. The fluorescence detection owned the linear range of 0.05 pg mL-1-7.5 pg mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.025 pg mL-1. Dual-modality assay improved the accuracy and efficiency of CEA detection to meet the requirement of tumor diagnosis, while chemical identification and signal transduction lay an important foundation for engineering advanced nanomaterials for clinical applications.

Abstract
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death. In addition to chest X-rays and computerised tomography, the detection of cancer biomarkers serves as an emerging diagnostic tool for lung cancer. This review explores biomarkers including the rat sarcoma gene, the tumour protein 53 gene, the epidermal growth factor receptor, the neuron-specific enolase, the cytokeratin-19 fragment 21-1 and carcinoembryonic antigen as potential indicators of lung cancer. Biosensors, which utilise various transduction techniques, present a promising solution for the detection of lung cancer biomarkers. Therefore, this review also explores the working principles and recent implementations of transducers in the detection of lung cancer biomarkers. The transducing techniques explored include optical techniques, electrochemical techniques and mass-based techniques for detecting biomarkers and cancer-related volatile organic compounds. Graphene has outstanding properties in terms of charge transfer, surface area, thermal conductivity and optical characteristics, on top of allowing easy incorporation of other nanomaterials. Exploiting the collective merits of both graphene and biosensor is an emerging trend, as evidenced by the growing number of studies on graphene-based biosensors for the detection of lung cancer biomarkers. This work provides a comprehensive review of these studies, including information on modification schemes, nanomaterials, amplification strategies, real sample applications, and sensor performance. The paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges and future outlook of lung cancer biosensors, including scalable graphene synthesis, multi-biomarker detection, portability, miniaturisation, financial support, and commercialisation.

Abstract
In this study, epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) aptamer-activated nanoparticles (Ap-NPs) were synthesised to enhance treatment efficiency in colorectal cancer (CRC). PLGA [poly(d, l-lactide-co-glycolide)] copolymer was fabricated by conjugation of COOH-PEG-NH2 to PLGA-COOH through an EDC/NHS-mediated chemistry. Afterwards, 5-fluorouracil-loaded (FU) nanoparticles were prepared using the water/oil/water double emulsion solvent evaporation method. The in vitro cytotoxicity of formulations was evaluated using the MTT assay in HCT-116, CT-26 and HEK-293 cell lines. For in vivo study, tumour-bearing BALB/c mice were established by subcutaneous injection of CT-26 cell line. The results indicated that fabricated AP-FU-NPs had 101 nm size with a spherical surface, relatively homogeneously and, satisfactory encapsulation efficiency (83.93%). In vitro experiments revealed that Ap-FU-NPs had a superior in vitro cytotoxicity than both FU-NPs and free 5-FU in CT-26 and HCT-116 cells but, were significantly low toxic against HEK-293 cells relative to free 5-FU. Furthermore, in vivo results showed no significant haemolytic effect, hepatic and renal injury, or weight loss. After treatment of various animal groups with formulations, notable tumour growth delay was observed following the order: Ap-FU-NPs < FU-NPs < 5-FU < PBS. The results suggest that AP-FU-NPs could be an effective and promising carrier for 5-FU delivery to the EpCAM overexpressing CRC cells.

Abstract
In this work, a chemiluminescence (CL) aptasensor for sensitive carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection was constructed based on the CL system of luminol-H2O2-NaOH. Magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs), as the base material, was modified with CEA-aptamer and DNA1, and was combined with the novel flower-shaped Ag@ZIF-67 of modified with DNA2 through the principle of base complementary pairing. CEA combined with aptamer when it existed in the solution. At the same time, MCNTs was adsorbed at the bottom of the container under the influence of external magnetic field, and Ag@ZIF-67 enhanced the CL signal. The CL aptasensor demonstrated high selectivity and sensitivity for CEA in human serum sample with (1-4): a detection limit of 4.53 × 10-3 ng/mL in case the detection range was 0.05-500 ng/mL.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is regarded as a promising broad spectrum tumor biomarker for clinical diagnosis, progression, and prognosis. Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) was considered as one of the powerful tools for immunoassay with advantages of label-free, real-time detection with high-throughput. Herein, wavy gold-silver alloy nanoplates functionalized with anti-CEA antibodies providing high protein loading capacity and high mass are used as signal enhancers for CEA detection through SPRi sandwich assay. The present method exhibits a dynamic range for CEA determination from 0.1 to 312.5 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 0.55 ng mL-1, well below normal physiological levels. This biosensing approach demonstrates the advantages of wavy gold-silver alloy nanoplates compared to conventional gold nanoparticles as a signal amplifier to enhance the SPRi signal, which is expected to become a new prospect for detection of cancer markers in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with an increasing mortality rate over the past years. The early detection of cancer contributes to early diagnosis and subsequent treatment. How to detect early cancer has become one of the hot research directions of cancer. Tumor biomarkers, biochemical parameters for reflecting cancer occurrence and progression have caused much attention in cancer early detection. Due to high sensitivity, convenience and low cost, biosensors have been largely developed to detect tumor biomarkers. This review describes the application of various biosensors in detecting tumor markers. Firstly, several typical tumor makers, such as neuron-specific enolase (NSE), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA), carbohydrate, antigen19-9 (CA19-9) and tumor suppressor p53 (TP53), which may be helpful for early cancer detection in the clinic, are briefly described. Then, various biosensors, mainly focusing on electrochemical biosensors, optical biosensors, photoelectrochemical biosensors, piezoelectric biosensors and aptamer sensors, are discussed. Specifically, the operation principles of biosensors, nanomaterials used in biosensors and the application of biosensors in tumor marker detection have been comprehensively reviewed and provided. Lastly, the challenges and prospects for developing effective biosensors for early cancer diagnosis are discussed.

[PMID: 36290918 PMCID: PMC9599106 DOI: 10.3390/bios12100780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is widely-known as the most commonly used protein biomarker for liver cancer diagnosis at the early stage. Therefore, developing the highly sensitive and reliable method of AFP detection is of essential demand for practical applications. Herein, two types of aptamer-based AFP detection methods, i.e., optical and electrochemical biosensors, are reviewed in detail. The optical biosensors include Raman spectroscopy, dual-polarization interferometry, resonance light-scattering, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence. The electrochemical biosensors include cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and giant magnetic impedance. Looking into the future, methods for AFP detection that are high sensitivity, long-term stability, low cost, and operation convenience will continue to be developed.

Abstract
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a widely used and ideal transduction modality for fluorescent based biosensors as it offers high signal to noise with a visibly detectable signal. While intense efforts are ongoing to improve the limit of detection and dynamic range of biosensors based on biomolecule optimization, the selection of and relative location of the dye remains understudied. Herein, we describe a combined experimental and computational study to systematically compare the nature of the dye, i.e., organic fluorophore (Cy5 or Texas Red) vs. inorganic nanoparticle (QD), and the position of the FRET donor or acceptor on the biomolecular components. Using a recently discovered transcription factor (TF)-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biosensor for progesterone, we examine four different biosensor configurations and report the quantum yield, lifetime, FRET efficiency, IC50, and limit of detection. Fitting the computational models to the empirical data identifies key molecular parameters driving sensor performance in each biosensor configuration. Finally, we provide a set of design parameters to enable one to select the fluorophore system for future intermolecular biosensors using FRET-based conformational regulation in in vitro assays and new diagnostic devices.

Abstract
Two kinds of two-dimensional (2D) covalent-organic frameworks (COF) were used to construct a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for a proof-of-concept study. Vinyl-functionalized COFTab-Dva could be linked with Ab1 by the thiol-ene "click" reaction. Electroactive COFTFPB-Thi was modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to ensure the successful connection with Ab2 through Au-S bond. Meanwhile, electroactive COFTFPB-Thi was used to as signal probe to realize both the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and the amplification of detection signal. In detection process of the sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor, glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with 2D COFTab-Dva first then connected with Ab1 by the thiol-ene "click" reaction, next quantitative CEA was captured, followed by specificially capturing signal probe of Ab2/AuNPs/COFTFPB-Thi where AuNPs acted as nanocarriers of Ab2 and COFTFPB-Thi served as the signal producers. As the amount of CEA was increased, the amount of signal probe captured to the electrode was also increased, and the peak signal intensity of the redox reaction of COFTFPB-Thi was enhanced accordingly. Thus, the quantitative detection of CEA could be realized according to the peak signal intensity of electroactive COFTFPB-Thi. The electrochemical immunosensor owned wide detection range of 0.11 ng/mL-80 ng/mL, low detection limit of 0.034 ng/mL and good practicability. This study opens up a new revelation for quantitative detection of CEA using electroactive COF as enhanced signal probe.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), characterized by converting low-energy excitation to high-energy emission, have attracted considerable interest due to their inherent advantages of large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp and narrow multicolor emissions, negligible autofluorescence background interference, and excellent chemical- and photo-stability. These features make them promising luminophores for sensing applications. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanophosphors including the fundamental principle for the construction of UCNPs with efficient upconversion luminescence (UCL), followed by state-of-the-art strategies for the synthesis and surface modification of UCNPs, and finally describing current advances in the sensing application of upconversion-based probes for the quantitative analysis of various analytes including pH, ions, molecules, bacteria, reactive species, temperature, and pressure. In addition, emerging sensing applications like photodetection, velocimetry, electromagnetic field, and voltage sensing are highlighted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurate determination of the aberrantly expressed biomarkers such as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), mucin 1 (MUC1), and vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF165 have played an essential role in the clinical management of the breast cancer. Assessment of these cancer-specific biomarkers has conventionally relied on time-taking methods like the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemistry. However, recent development in the aptamer-based diagnostics has allowed developing tools that may substitute the conventional means of biomarker assessment in breast cancer. Adopting the aptamer-based diagnostic tools (aptasensors) to clinical practices will depend on their analytical performance on clinical samples. AREAS COVERED In this review, we provide an overview of the analytical merits of HER2, CEA, PDGF, MUC1, and VEGF165 aptasensors. Scopus and Pubmed databases were searched for studies reporting aptasensor development for the listed breast cancer biomarkers in the past one decade. Linearity, detection limit, and response time are emphasized. EXPERT OPINION In our opinion, aptasensors have proven to be on a par with the antibody-based methods for detection of various breast cancer biomarkers. Though robust validation of the aptasensors on significant sample size is required, their ability to detect pathophysiological range of biomarkers suggest the possibility of future clinical adoption.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigens (CEAs) are known as one of the most common tumor markers. Their facile and affordable detection is critical for early diagnosis of malignant tumors, especially in resource-constrained settings. Here, we report a novel multimer-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor for a specific CEA assay. The aptasensor is fabricated through aptamer-assisted self-assembly of silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs), and the self-assembled multimeric structure possesses abundant hot-spots to provide high SERS response. When CEA is introduced, the specific recognition of CEA by aptamers will lead to the disassembly of Au@Ag multimers due to the lack of a bridging aptamer between Au@Ag NPs. As a result, the number of hot-spots in the multimeric system is decreased, and the intensity at 1585 cm-1 of the SERS reporter (4-mercaptobenzoic acid, 4-MBA) on the surface of NPs will also be decreased. The Raman intensity is proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of CEA. The detection sensitivity can be down to the pg mL-1 level. The analytical method only needs a droplet of 2 μL of sample, and the detection time is less than 20 min. The multimer-based SERS aptasensor can be applied in sensitive and inexpensive detection of CEA in serum samples.

Abstract
Aptamers are short single-stranded RNA or DNA molecules that can recognize a series of targets with high affinity and specificity. Known as "chemical antibodies", aptamers have many unique merits, including ease of chemical synthesis, high chemical stability, low molecular weight, lack of immunogenicity, and ease of modification and manipulation compared to their protein counterparts. Using aptamers as the recognition groups, fluorescent aptasensors provide exciting opportunities for sensitive detection and quantification of analytes. Herein, we give an overview on the recent development of aptamer-based fluorescent sensors for the detection of cancer biomarkers. Based on various nanostructured sensor designs, we extended our discussions on sensitivity, specificity and the potential applications of aptamer-based fluorescent sensors in early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of cancers.

Abstract
The excessive use of tetracyclines (TCs), a bacteriostaticantibiotic, in food products, has led to the accumulation of TCs residues in the human body, affecting human health seriously. Therefore, the development of a highly sensitive method to detect TCs in food is of utmost importance. This study reports a novel sensing strategy using aptamer-induced fluorescence fluctuation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) for the rapid and label-free detection of tetracycline with a limit of detection of 45 ng.mL-1. A novel single-step synthesis of positively charged Pd NPs and one-step green synthesis of GQDs directly from graphite has been developed. The proposed strategy provides an efficient way to detect low traces of TCs and a new technique for the development of aptamer-based sensors.

Abstract
Upconversion materials have been the focus of a large body of research in analytical and clinical fields in the last two decades owing to their ability to convert light between various spectral regions and their particular photophysical features. They emit efficient and sharp ultraviolet (UV) or visible luminescence after excitation with near-infrared (NIR) light. These features overcome some of the disadvantages reported for conventional fluorescent materials and provide opportunities for high sensitivity chemo-and bio-sensing. Here, we review studies that used upconversion materials as sensors for the determination of pharmaceuticals and biomolecules in the last two decades. The articles included in this review were retrieved from the SCOPUS database using the search phrases: "upconversion nanoparticles for determination of pharmaceutical compounds", and "upconversion nanoparticles for determination of biomolecules". Details of each developed upconversion nanoparticles based sensor along with their relevant analytical parameters are reported and carefully explained.

Abstract
Traditional techniques for cancer diagnosis, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, ultrasound and tissue analysis, require sophisticated devices and highly trained personnel, which are characterized by elevated operation costs. The use of biomarkers has emerged as an alternative for cancer diagnosis, prognosis and prediction because their measurement in tissues or fluids, such as blood, urine or saliva, is characterized by shorter processing times. However, the biomarkers used currently, and the techniques used for their measurement, including ELISA, western-blot, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or immunohistochemistry, possess low sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, the search for new proteomic, genomic or immunological biomarkers and the development of new noninvasive, easier and cheaper techniques that meet the sensitivity and specificity criteria for the diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of this disease has become a relevant topic. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview about the search for new cancer biomarkers, including the strategies that must be followed to identify them, as well as presenting the latest advances in the development of biosensors that possess a high potential for cancer diagnosis, prognosis and prediction, mainly focusing on their relevance in lung, prostate and breast cancers.

Abstract
A novel sensitive aptasensor for vascular endothelial growth factor-165 (VEGF165) was constructed based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) by employing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and MoS2 nanosheets as the energy donor and acceptor, respectively. The upconversion fluorescence resonance energy transfer (UC-FRET) was triggered by the physical adsorption interaction between the aptamer and MoS2 nanosheets, leading to a remarkable quenching of UCNP fluorescence up to 95%. Upon addition of VEGF165 to the UCNP-aptamer system before MoS2 nanosheets were added, the aptamer preferentially bound to VEGF165 with the change of spatial conformation, which weakened the van der Waals' force between the MoS2 nanosheets and the aptamer, thus leading to the separation of the donor and the acceptor. Consequently, the FRET phenomenon was inhibited and the luminescence of UCNPs was regained, which was linearly related to the concentration of VEGF165 in the range of 0.1 ng mL-1 to 16 ng mL-1. By taking advantage of the extreme fluorescence quenching ability of MoS2 nanosheets and the optical merits of UCNPs, the aptasensor based on UC-FRET exhibited favorable performance for the homogeneous assay of VEGF165 in human serum, which is of great value for clinical diagnosis of tumors and related biological studies.

Abstract
It was extremely urgent to develop some simultaneous and sensitive biosensors for detecting multiplex serum tumor markers (TMs) for early screening of cancers. Herein, a multiplex assay was developed based on the DNA-LaMnO3 (DNA-LMO) perovskite encoded probes and targets mediated competitive replacement strategy. Alpha fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) markers were employed as representative target TMs. Aptasensor is prepared by a series of DNA-LMO-M encode probes which were prepared by three hyperbranched DNA firstly immobilized on LMO encapsulating Pb, Cd or Cu ions. Then, three TMs aptamers were labeled on the stirring-rod and hybridized with the probes. After the developed encoded probes was incubated the TMs, the encoded probes corresponding to different TMs can be released into the supernatant through the competitive replacement. The inner metal ion can be simultaneously detected by square wave voltammetry corresponding to various TMs. Since the stirring rod can enrich many encoded probes containing a lot of metal ions, multiplex signal amplification can be realized. Due to the enrichment and easy separation of the stirring rod, the signal-to-noise ratio was also obviously improved and thus to results in good sensitivity and accuracy. Moreover, it took only 20 min to detect three targets which much faster than many same types of aptasensor. Under the optimal conditions, the low detection limit for CEA (3.6 × 10-4 ng/mL), AFP (3.4 × 10-4 ng/mL) and PSA (2.8 × 10-4 ng/mL) were obtained. Therefore, this method is likely to be used for early and sensitive screening of tumors.

Abstract
Aptamers are chemically synthetic single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules selected by molecular evolution. They have been widely used as attractive tools in biosensing and bioimaging because they can bind to a large variety of targets with high sensitivity and high affinity and specificity. As recognition elements, aptamers contribute in particular to cancer diagnostics by recognizing different cancer biomarkers, while they can also facilitate ultrasensitive detection by further employing signal amplification elements. Optical techniques have been widely used for direct and real-time monitoring of cancer-related biomolecules and bioprocesses due to the high sensitivity, quick response, and simple operation, which has greatly benefited cancer diagnostics. In this review, we highlight recent advances in optical platform-based sensing strategies for cancer diagnostics aided by aptamers. Limitations and current challenges are also discussed.

Abstract
Detection of cancer biomarkers is crucial for the diagnosis and monitoring of malignant tumors. However, the accuracy and sensitivity still require sufficient improvement for practically clinical application. In this work, a reliable and sensitive dual-mode immunosensing method is described for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection using a biofunctional ZnO@SiO2 nanocomposite as a resonance Raman scattering (RRS)-infrared (IR) absorption nanoprobe. The multiphonon RRS signal originating from the ZnO and the characteristic IR fingerprint signal of the transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon modes of the asymmetric stretching of Si-O-Si bonds showed no interference with each other. A CEA antibodies-immobilized substrate was fabricated to capture the analyte/nanoprobe complexes. The RRS intensity at 569 cm‒1 and the IR absorption at 1061 cm‒1 were used for quantitative analysis. Accurate CEA detection was performed as a result of the strong resistance of the dual-mode nanoprobe to surrounding interference. The limit of detection was 98.0 fg mL‒1. The detection range was 500 ng mL‒1 - 50 fg mL‒1, which is wider than those of single-mode RRS or IR absorption immunosensings. High reproducibility, selectivity and specificity were achieved. The assay performance of human serum samples demonstrated the practicability of the method in clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), as one of the common tumor markers, is a human glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion and is expressed during human fetal development. Since the birth of human, CEA expression is largely inhibited, with only low levels in the plasma of healthy adults. Generally, CEA will overexpressed in many cancers, including gastric, breast, ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancers, especially colorectal cancer. As one of the important tumor markers, the detection of CEA has great significance in differential diagnosis, condition monitoring and therapeutic evaluation of diseases. Conventional CEA testing typically uses immunoassay methods. However, immunoassay methods require complex and expensive instruments and professional personnel to operate. Moreover, radioactive element may cause certain damage to the human body, which limits their wide application. In the past few years, biosensors, especially aptamer-based biosensors, have attracted extensive attention due to their high sensitivity, good selectivity, high accuracy, fast response and low cost. This review briefly classifies and describes the advance in optical and electrochemical aptamer biosensors for CEA detection, also explains and compares their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can convert two or more lower-energy near-infrared photons to a single photon with higher energy, which makes them particularly suitable for constructing nanoprobes with large imaging depth and minimal interference of autofluorescence and light scattering from biosamples. Furthermore, they feature excellent photostability, sharp and narrow emissions, and large anti-Stokes shift, which confer them the capability of long-period bioimaging and real-time tracking. In recent years, UCNPs-based nanoprobes (UC-nanoprobes) have been attracting increasing interest in biological and medical research. Signal contrast, the ratio of signal intensity after and before the reaction of the probe and target, is the determinant factor of the sensitivity of all reaction-based probes. This progress report presents the methods of constructing UC-nanoprobes, with a focus fixed on recent strategies to improve the signal contrast, which have kept on promoting the bioapplication of this type of probe.

Abstract
Despite numerous biosensors currently available, the routine biomarker detection still largely relies on traditional ELISA and Western blot. Those standard techniques are labor intensive and time-consuming. Herein we introduce a fast affinity induced reaction sensor (FAIRS) that overcomes a few limitations of traditional and emerging biosensors. FAIRS is a general, one-step method and is naturally specific in detection. FAIRS probes are composed of a sandwich ELISA antibody pair that is conjugated with two fluorogenic click chemicals. This technology leverages significant differences of antibody affinity and chemical reaction rate, which are characterized to guide probe design. The stability, sensitivity, detection range, and response time are fully characterized. Application to IL-6 detection using blood serum and cell culture medium demonstrates that FAIRS can quantify IL-6 with high sensitivity in one step. With the unique features, FAIRS probes may find broad applications in medical sciences and clinical diagnostics, where quick detection of biomarkers is demanded.

Abstract
Thermometers, one of the most commonly used instruments at home, are normally adapted to measure temperature directly with high accuracy but rarely adopted to act as readout in the biosensors. It is necessary to find some ways to establish a relationship between the concentration of the target and the temperature change. In this study, a common thermometer was used as readout to develop a convenient immunosensor. The designed immunosensor comprises three components, including target recognition area, water flow system, and exothermic reaction bottle. The capture antibody for the target [carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was selected as a model target] was preloaded on the bottom of the recognition area. In the presence of CEA, a sandwich-type structure was formed between the capture antibody, CEA, and biotinylated detection antibody. Then, the streptavidin-functionalized platinum nanoparticles were labeled on the detection antibody due to biotin-avidin interaction. The captured platinum nanoparticles can effectively catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 into O2. The continuous production of gas resulted in pressure increment inside the reaction bottle and further pushed the water flow into the exothermic reaction bottle. Finally, the water reacted with calcium oxide to generate a large amount of heat in the exothermic reaction bottle; thereby the temperature inside the bottle was enhanced and recorded by a common thermometer easily. The temperature enhancement has a linear relationship with the CEA concentration in the range of 7.81-500 pg/mL with a detection limit of 0.6 pg/mL. Furthermore, by taking advantage of simplicity, compatibility, stability, and high sensitivity, our temperature-based immunoassay has been applied to detect CEA in human serum samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer, one of the most powerful phenomena for elucidating molecular interactions, has been extensively utilized as a biosensing tool to provide accurate information at the nanoscale. Numerous aptamer- and nanomaterial-based FRET bioassays has been developed for detection of a large variety of molecules. Affinity probes are widely used in biosensors, in which aptamers have emerged as advantageous biorecognition elements, due to their chemical and structural stability. Similarly, optically active nanomaterials offer significant advantages over conventional organic dyes, such as superior photophysical properties, large surface-to-volume ratios, photostability, and longer shelf life. In this report (with 175 references), the use of aptamer-modified nanomaterials as FRET couples is reviewed: quantum dots, upconverting nanoparticles, graphene, reduced graphene oxide, gold nanoparticles, molybdenum disulfide, graphene quantum dots, carbon dots, and metal-organic frameworks. Tabulated summaries provide the reader with useful information on the current state of research in the field. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based aptamer nanoprobe in the absence and presence of a given target molecule (analyte).

Abstract
We developed a simultaneous detection method for multiple tumor markers (TMs) in microfluidic droplets based on a multiple fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system. In this system, graphene oxide (GO) was used as the single quencher, while the multi-color quantum dots (QDs) labeled on different aptamers were employed as energy donors. When the aptamers were adsorbed onto GO due to the π-π stacking interaction, QDs were drawn to the surface of GO and quenched by it. Once the TMs were introduced, the corresponding fluorescence of QDs was recovered obviously owing to the preferential interaction of aptamers with the TMs. Here, the multi-FRET system was encapsulated into nanoliter-volume droplets by a simple T-junction microfluidic chip. The targets could be detected rapidly as the generated droplets flew through the integrated on-line detection zone. Three tumor markers, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) could be detected simultaneously in 33 nL-volume droplets, which is only 1/3000 of the volume of the sample consumed in the conventional fluorescence spectrophotometer. In addition, the signals corresponding to different TM targets in one nanoliter-volume droplet could be read out at the same time, and the signals could be output continuously owing to the uninterruptible generation of droplets. Even with a signal acquisition frequency of 55 droplets per minute, the multi-FRET biosensing system has linear ranges of 0.50-70 ng mL-1 for CEA, 0.25-70 ng mL-1 for PSA and 0.50-70 ng mL-1 for VEGF165. The detection limits of CEA, PSA and VEGF165 were calculated to be 0.15 ng mL-1, 0.035 ng mL-1 and 0.11 ng mL-1, respectively. The method was also validated by analyzing human serum sample dilutions. The proposed multi-FRET-based system has potential to become a powerful tool for rapid, low-cost and simultaneous detection of multiple tumor markers.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based capacitance microscopy using a square-wave voltage is established unprecedentedly to realize the label-free visualization of species on electrode surfaces and cellular plasma membranes. The drop in the local capacitance upon the binding of species to the surface or to a cellular membrane is derived to induce a relatively larger potential drop ( Vdl) across the double layer on the local electrode surface, which is utilized to prompt enhanced ECL at the binding position. The square-wave voltage with a frequency of as high as 1.5 kHz is proven to be favorable for the discrimination of the local ECL from the surrounding signal. Using this new detection principle and resultant capacitance microscopy, carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA) at amounts of as low as 1 pg can be visualized. Further application of this approach permits the direct imaging of CEA antigens on single MCF-7 cells through the capacitance change after the formation of the antigen-antibody complex. Successful visualization of the analyte without any ECL tag will allow not only special capacitance microscopy for label-free bioassays but also a novel ECL detection approach for the sensitive detection of biomolecules.

Abstract
Breast Cancer is one of the world's most notorious diseases affecting two million women in 2018 worldwide. It is a highly heterogeneous disease, making it difficult to treat. However, its linear progression makes it a candidate for early screening programs, and the earlier its detection the higher the chance of recovery. However, one key hurdle for breast cancer screening is the fact that most screening techniques are expensive, time-consuming, and cumbersome, making them impractical for use in several parts of the world. One current trend in breast cancer detection has pointed to a possible solution, the use of salivary breast cancer biomarkers. Saliva is an attractive medium for diagnosis because it is readily available in large quantities, easy to obtain at low cost, and contains all the biomarkers present in blood, albeit in lower quantities. Affinity sensors are devices that detect molecules through their interactions with biological recognition molecules. Their low cost, high sensitivity, and selectivity, as well as rapid detection time make them an attractive alternative to traditional means of detection. In this review article, we discuss the current status of breast cancer diagnosis, its salivary biomarkers, as well as the current trends in the development of affinity sensors for their detection.

Abstract
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a reliable clinical marker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A highly sensitive fluorometric aptamer nanoprobe is described for AFP detection. It is based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between AFP aptamer labelled with 5-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) and palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). The PdNPs quench the green fluorescence of the FAM-AFP aptamer via interactions between nitrogen functional groups of the AFP aptamer and PdNPs. When AFP was introduced into the FAM-AFP aptamer-PdNPs FRET system, the AFP aptamer preferentially combines with AFP. This results in a conformational change and weakens the interaction between the aptamer and the PdNPs. Thus, the fluorescence of FAM recovers. The fluorescence recovery of FAM increases linearly in the 5.0-150 ng·mL-1 AFP concentration range and has a 1.4 ng·mL-1 detection limit. The assay was applied to the analysis of spiked diluted human serum. The recovery values ranged from 98.3 to 112.9%, with relative standard deviations of <1.1%. This biosensing strategy provides a reliable and ultrasensitive protocol for the quantification of biomarkers with relevant antigens and aptamers.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) conjugated with aptamers have been extensively in recent years, which can efficiently target cancer cells that improve the therapeutic effect. Aptamers (Apt) are small oligonucleotide molecule ligands have specific high-affinity. In this work, we developed a PEG-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated with doxorubicin. The NPs were modified with C2NP, a ssDNA aptamer specifically binding to CD30 protein which was over expressed in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cells. PEG-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) were formed by nanoprecipitation and loaded with doxorubicin, further conjugated C2NP aptamer via an EDC/NHS technique. Obtained results demonstrated that the targeted agent was successfully conjugated confirming by Urea PAGE and XPS. The physicochemical properties of Apt-DOX-NPs like particle size at 168.07 ± 2.72 nm and zeta potential at -30.76 ± 0.153 mV. The time of the release drugs was efficiently increased in targeted formulations and showed higher accumulation in ALCL cells than non-targeted system. Findings from this work demonstrated the potential efficacy of C2NP-functionalized nanoparticles for a therapy in ALCL.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in the world, mainly owing to distant metastasis events. Developing targeted strategies to treat and follow individuals in more developed stages is needed. The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a cell surface-overexpressed glycoprotein in most CRC patients, and the evaluation of its serum levels is recommended in the clinic. These reasons motivated the production of CEA-targeted nanotechnologies for monitorization of CRC progression, but only a few centers have reported their use for drug delivery. The cellular internalization of CEA-linked nanosystems occurs by the natural recycling of the CEA itself, enabling longer retention and sustained release of the cargo. The functionalization of nanoparticles with lower affinity ligands for CEA is possibly the best choice to avoid their binding to the soluble CEA. Here, we also highlight the use of nanoparticles made of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymer, a well known material, owing to its biocompatibility and low toxicity. This work offers support to the contribution of antibody fragment-functionalized nanoparticles as promising high affinity molecules to decorate nanosystems. The linkers and conjugation chemistries chosen for ligand-nanoparticle coupling will be addressed herein as an elements essential to the modulation of nanosystem features. This review, to our knowledge, is the first that focuses on CEA-targeted nanotechnologies to serve colorectal cancer therapy and monitorization.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been recognized as one of the most important tumor markers. Herein, we reported an ultrasensitive homogeneous aptasensor based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and graphene oxide (GO) for CEA detection. The CEA aptamer modified UCNPs can bind to the surface of GO through π-π stacking interaction, resulting in fluorescence quenching due to the energy transfer from UCNPs to GO. After the introduction of CEA, the CEA aptamer preferentially combined with CEA to form three-dimensional structure which made UCNPs-aptamer dissociate from the GO, blocking the energy transfer process. The fluorescence of UCNPs was accordingly restored in a CEA concentration-dependent manner both aqueous solution and human serum samples. The aptasensor could monitor CEA level directly in human serum and the results were strongly correlated with commercial chemiluminescence kits. The excellent detection performance suggested promising prospect of the aptasensor in practical application.

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.
