Application of nanotechnology in the early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of gastrointestinal cancer. J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:415. [PMID: 36109734 PMCID: PMC9479390 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01613-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) is a common malignant tumour of the digestive system that seriously threatens human health. Due to the unique organ structure of the gastrointestinal tract, endoscopic and MRI diagnoses of GIC in the clinic share the problem of low sensitivity. The ineffectiveness of drugs and high recurrence rates in surgical and drug therapies are the main factors that impact the curative effect in GIC patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve diagnostic accuracies and treatment efficiencies. Nanotechnology is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of GIC by virtue of its unique size advantages and extensive modifiability. In the diagnosis and treatment of clinical GIC, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles, electrochemical nanobiosensors and magnetic nanoparticles, intraoperative imaging nanoparticles, drug delivery systems and other multifunctional nanoparticles have successfully improved the diagnosis and treatment of GIC. It is important to further improve the coordinated development of nanotechnology and GIC diagnosis and treatment. Herein, starting from the clinical diagnosis and treatment of GIC, this review summarizes which nanotechnologies have been applied in clinical diagnosis and treatment of GIC in recent years, and which cannot be applied in clinical practice. We also point out which challenges must be overcome by nanotechnology in the development of the clinical diagnosis and treatment of GIC and discuss how to quickly and safely combine the latest nanotechnology developed in the laboratory with clinical applications. Finally, we hope that this review can provide valuable reference information for researchers who are conducting cross-research on GIC and nanotechnology.

Abstract
Metal stable isotope tagging has demonstrated great and unique success in the multiplex and ratiometry-based accurate detection of biomolecules and single cells, while its sensitivity is regarded as an Achilles' heel. Although lanthanide nanoparticles remain the most promising tags for elemental mass spectrometry, there is no report on the lanthanide nanoparticle-based multiplex immunoassay of disease markers in clinical serum samples because of their tough synthesis and bioconjugation and a complex physiological sample matrix. Herein, to fill this gap, multiple lanthanide nanoparticle tags (NaEuF4, NaTbF4, and NaHoF4) were delicately designed and facilely synthesized with a one-pot solvothermal method for the multiplex evaluation of breast cancer biomarkers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA153, and CA125 in human serum samples. The proposed method exhibited wide linear ranges and low levels of the detection limit for all biomarkers. The test results were consistent with the routine electrochemiluminescence results in clinical serum samples, which proved the possibility of the early prognosis of breast cancer as well as improving the surgical outcome prediction.

Abstract
The accurate analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) holds great promise in early diagnosis and prognosis of cancers. However, the extremely low abundance of CTCs in peripheral blood samples limits the practical utility of the traditional methods for CTCs detection. Thus, novel and powerful strategies have been proposed for sensitive detection of CTCs. In particular, nanomaterials with exceptional physical and chemical properties have been used to fabricate cytosensors for amplifying the signal and enhancing the sensitivity. In this review, we summarize the recent development of nanomaterials-based optical and electrochemical analytical techniques for CTCs detection, including fluorescence, colorimetry, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, chemiluminescence, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence, photoelectrochemistry and so on.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. In this work, a dual-functional magnetic microsphere probe was designed for ICP-MS quantification and fluorescence imaging of MMP2 in cell secretion. In the designed probe, a NH2-peptide (-FAM)-biotin was used as a bridge for the combination of carboxylated magnetic beads (MBs-COOH) and streptavidin functionalized gold nanoparticle (Au NP-SA). Initially, the fluorescence of FAM was quenched by Au NP. Since the NH2-peptide (-FAM)-biotin had a MMP2-specifically recognized sequence, the peptide was specifically cleaved in the presence of MMP2, thus releasing Au NP for the ICP-MS quantification of MMP2 and turning on the fluorescence of FAM for the fluorescence imaging of MMP2. Under the optimal experimental conditions, a linear range of 0.05-50 ng mL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.02 ng mL-1 were obtained for MMP2. The relative standard deviation (n = 7, c = 0.1 ng mL-1) of the proposed method was 5.4%. With good sensitivity and good accuracy, the proposed method realized the quantification and imaging of MMP2 in A549 cell secretion. The proposed method was applied to monitor the expression of MMP2 in the A549 cell secretion under the stimulation of Cd2+, providing a new detection strategy in the study of MMP2-related life process.

Abstract
The growing use of rare-earth doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) has caused increasing concern about their biosafety. Here, to understand the toxicity of UCNPs and their mechanism in HepG2 cells, we systematically study the cytotoxicity, uptake and elimination behaviors of three types of UCNPs combined multiple cytotoxicity evaluation means with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection. Sodium yttrium fluoride, doped with 18% (molar ratio) ytterbium and 2% erbium (NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+) was selected as the model UCNPs with two sizes (35 and 55 nm), and the poly(acrylic acid) and polyethylenimine were selected as the representatives of negative and positive surface coating of UCNPs, respectively. UCNPs were found to induce cytotoxicity in time- and dose-dependent manners, which might be mediated by reactive oxygen species generation and oxidative stress. Apoptosis, inflammation, and metabolic process were enhanced after cells exposed to 200 mg/L UCNPs for 48 h. Increase in the protein levels of cleaved caspased-9, cleaved caspase-3 and Bax and decrease in the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2 suggested that the mitochondria mediated pathway was involved in UCNP-induced apoptosis. With the aid of ICP-MS, it demonstrated that the cytotoxicity was associated with internalized amount of UCNPs, which largely relied on their surface properties rather than size in the tested range. By comparing UCNPs with Y3+ ions, it demonstrated that NPs properties played a nonnegligible role in the cytotoxicity of UCNPs. These findings provide new insights for fundamental understanding of cytotoxicity of UCNPs and may contribute to more rational use of these materials in the future.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), as a high-energy phosphate compound that stores and releases energy in living cells, has an irreplaceable role in many physiological processes and maintenance of biological functions, and can be used as an indicator of many diseases. In this work, a composite nanoprobe, silver nanocluster (AgNC) @ molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), was designed to achieve in situ fluorescence imaging and quantitative analysis of intracellular ATP in HeLa cells by fluorescence spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The probe was constructed based on the adsorption of DNA-AgNCs by MoS2 nanosheets, and the DNA-AgNCs were prepared with the ATP aptamer as a template, whose fluorescence was initially quenched by MoS2. When the probe was incubated into the cells, intracellular ATP recognized the aptamer sequence and caused the DNA-AgNCs to fall off the MoS2 nanosheets, resulting in fluorescence recovery. Here, AgNCs not only acted as a fluorescence label for imaging, but also as an element tag for quantitative analysis of intracellular ATP with the detection of 107Ag by ICP-MS. The ATP in HeLa cells detected by this method was 24.6 ± 1.7 nmol L-1, which was in good agreement with the test result of the ATP test kit (20.4 ± 0.8 nmol L-1). The proposed method has potential application in medical clinical diagnosis and evaluation of the body's metabolic level via fluorescence imaging and ICP-MS detection of intracellular ATP.

Abstract
Phosphorylated p53 proteins are biomarkers with clinical utility for early diagnosis of cancer, but difficult to quantify. An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) based immunoassay is described here that uses uniform lanthanide nanoparticles (NPs) as elemental tags for the simultaneous determination of two phosphorylated p53 proteins. Apoferritin templated europium (Eu) phosphate (AFEP) NPs and apoferritin templated lutetium (Lu) phosphate (AFLP) NPs with 8 nm in diameter were used to label two phosphorylated p53 proteins at serine 15 and serine 392 sites (p-p5315 and p-p53392), respectively. The assay has a sandwich format, and p-p5315 and p-p53392 were first captured and then recognized by AFEP and AFLP NPs labelled antibodies, respectively. The Eu and Lu were then released from the immune complexes under acidic condition for ICP-MS measurement. The limits of detection for p-p5315 and p-p53392 are 200 and 20 pg·mL-1, with linear ranges of 0.5-20 and 0.05-20 ng·mL-1, respectively. The method was further applied to study the response of p-p5315 and p-p53392 in SCC-7 cells exposed to the natural carcinogen arsenite. A significant up-regulation of p-p5315 and p-p53392 can be observed when cells were exposed to arsenite at 5 μmol·L-1 level for 24 h. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the ICP-MS immunoassay using apoferritin templated europium (III) and lutetium (III) phosphate nanoparticles as labels for the simultaneous determination of two phosphorylated p53 proteins. Europium (Eu) phosphate nanoparticles (blue) and lutetium (Lu) phosphate nanoparticles (pink) were synthesized in the size-restricted cavity of apoferritin. They were further coupled with antibodies to prepare Eu and Lu labelled probes for p-p5315 (blue) and p-p53392 (pink), respectively. After formation of a a sandwich, the labelled Eu and Lu were dissociated in acid and then introduced to ICP-MS for the simultaneous determination of two phosphorylated p53 proteins p-p5315 (blue) and p-p53392 (pink).

Quantitative mapping of specific proteins in biological tissues by laser ablation-ICP-MS using exogenous labels: aspects to be considered. Anal Bioanal Chem 2018; 411:549-558. [PMID: 30310944 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-018-1411-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2018] [Revised: 09/17/2018] [Accepted: 09/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Laser ablation (LA) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a versatile tool for direct trace elemental and isotopic analysis of solids. The development of new strategies for quantitative elemental mapping of biological tissues is one of the growing research areas in LA-ICP-MS. On the other hand, the latest advances are related to obtaining not only the elemental distribution of heteroatoms but also molecular information. In this vein, mapping of specific proteins in biological tissues can be done with LA-ICP-MS by use of metal-labelled immunoprobes. However, although LA-ICP-MS is, in principle, a quantitative technique, critical requirements should be met for absolute quantification of protein distribution. In this review, progress based on the use of metal-labelled antibodies for LA-ICP-MS mapping of specific proteins is reported. Critical requirements to obtain absolute quantitative mapping of specific proteins by LA-ICP-MS are highlighted. Additionally, illustrative examples of the advances made so far with LA-ICP-MS are provided. Graphical abstract In the proposed critical review, last advances based on the use of metal-labelled antibodies and critical requirements for LA-ICP-MS quantitative mapping of specific proteins are tackled.

Abstract
This study presents a facile synthesis method for the preparation of positively charged N,S co-doped carbon nanodots with excellent optical properties, and it develops a selective method for fluorescent detection of living cancer cells. The specific recognition is due to the application of an aptamer sequence, which shows high affinity and specificity to target cells. The aptamer is firstly labeled with BHQ and wraps around the carbon nanodots, then it finally quenches the fluorescence emission of the carbon nanodots. For the sensitive and selective analysis of target cells, the cells are simply mixed with the carbon nanodot-aptamer nanoconjugates, which are then centrifuged at a low speed. The recognition reaction between aptamer and target cells releases the quencher from the surface of the carbon nanodots and the centrifugation process enables the recovery of fluorescence intensity of the suspension, which reflects the level of initial cancer cells. The developed method is simple, highly selective and cost-effective, thus, it may be further exploited in clinical applications in the future.

Abstract
Development of multimodal detection technologies for accurate diagnosis of cancer at early stages is in great demand. In this work, we report a novel approach using an aptamer-based dual-functional probe for rapid, sensitive, and specific counting and visualization of MCF-7 cells by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and fluorescence imaging. The probe consists of a recognition unit of aptamer to catch cancer cells specifically, a fluorescent dye (FAM) moiety for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based "off-on" fluorescence imaging as well as gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) tag for both ICP-MS quantification and fluorescence quenching. Due to the signal amplification effect and low spectral interference of Au NPs in ICP-MS, an excellent linearity and sensitivity were achieved. Accordingly, a limit of detection of 81 MCF-7 cells and a relative standard deviation of 5.6% (800 cells, n = 7) were obtained. The dynamic linear range was 2 × 102 to 1.2 × 104 cells, and the recoveries in human whole blood were in the range of 98-110%. Overall, the established method provides quantitative and visualized information on MCF-7 cells with a simple and rapid process and paves the way for a promising strategy for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.
