Repurposing Fc gamma receptor I (FcγRI, CD64) for site-oriented monoclonal antibody capture: A proof-of-concept study for real-time detection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF -α). Heliyon 2023; 9:e19469. [PMID: 37809995 PMCID: PMC10558606 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The controlled orientation of biomolecules on the sensor surface is crucial for achieving high sensitivity and accurate detection of target molecules in biosensing. FcγRI is an immune cell surface receptor for recognizing IgG-coated targets, such as opsonized pathogens or immune complexes. It plays a crucial role in T cell activation and internalization of the cargos, leading downstream signaling cascades. In this study, we repurposed the FcγRI as an analytical ligand molecule for site-oriented ADA capture, a monoclonal antibody-based biosimilar drug, on a plasmonic sensor surface and demonstrated the real-time detection of the corresponding analyte molecule, TNF-α. The study encompasses the analysis of comparative ligand behaviors on the surface, biosensor kinetics, concentration-dependent studies, and sensor specificity assays. The findings of this study suggest that FcγRI has a significant potential to serve as a universal ligand molecule for site-specific monoclonal antibody capture, and it can be used for biosensing studies, as it represents low nanomolar range affinity and excellent selectivity towards the target. However, there is still room for improvement in the surface stability and sensing response, and further studies are needed to reveal its performance on the monoclonal antibodies with various antigen binding sites and glycoforms.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex chronic pain condition. Its symptoms are nonspecific, and to date, no objective test exists to confirm FM diagnosis. Potential objective measures include the circulating levels of blood biomarkers. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to review studies assessing blood biomarkers' levels in patients with FM compared with healthy controls. We systematically searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO databases. Fifty-four studies reporting the levels of biomarkers in blood in patients with FM were included. Data were extracted, and the methodological quality was assessed independently by 2 authors. The methodological quality of 9 studies (17%) was low. The results of most studies were not directly comparable given differences in methods and investigated target immune mediators. Thus, data from 40 studies only were meta-analyzed using a random-effects model. The meta-analysis showed that patients with FM had significantly lower levels of interleukin-1 β and higher levels of IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interferon gamma, C-reactive protein, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor compared with healthy controls. Nevertheless, this systematic literature review and meta-analysis could not support the notion that these blood biomarkers are specific biomarkers of FM. Our literature review, however, revealed that these same individual biomarkers may have the potential role of identifying underlying pathologies or other conditions that often coexist with FM. Future research is needed to evaluate the potential clinical value for these biomarkers while controlling for the various confounding variables.

Abstract
More than 30 proteins and peptides have been found to form amyloid fibrils in human diseases. Fibrils formed by transthyretin (TTR) are associated with ATTR amyloidosis, affecting many vital organs, including the heart and peripheral nervous system. Congo red staining is the gold standard method for detection of amyloid deposits in tissue. However, Congo red staining and amyloid typing methods such as immunofluorescence labelling are limited to relatively large deposits. Detection of small ATTR deposits present at an early stage of the disease could enable timely treatment and prevent severe tissue damage. In this study, we developed an enhanced ATTR amyloid detection method that uses functionalised protein nanofibrils. Using this method, we achieved sensitive detection of monomeric TTR in a microplate immunoassay and immunofluorescence labelling of ex vivo tissue from two patients containing ATTR aggregates. The system's utility was confirmed on sections from a patient with AA amyloidosis and liver sections from inflamed mouse. These results suggest that the detection system constitutes important new technology for highly sensitive detection of microscopic amounts of ATTR amyloid deposited in tissue.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation generated by the tumor microenvironment is known to drive cancer initiation, proliferation, progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. The tumor microenvironment promotes the secretion of diverse cytokines, in different types and stages of cancers. These cytokines may inhibit tumor development but alternatively may contribute to chronic inflammation that supports tumor growth in both autocrine and paracrine manners and have been linked to poor cancer outcomes. Such distinct sets of cytokines from the tumor microenvironment can be detected in the circulation and are thus potentially useful as biomarkers to detect cancers, predict disease outcomes and manage therapeutic choices. Indeed, analyses of circulating cytokines in combination with cancer-specific biomarkers have been proposed to simplify and improve cancer detection and prognosis, especially from minimally-invasive liquid biopsies, such as blood. Additionally, the cytokine signaling signatures of the peripheral immune cells, even from patients with localized tumors, are recently found altered in cancer, and may also prove applicable as cancer biomarkers. Here we review cytokines induced by the tumor microenvironment, their roles in various stages of cancer development, and their potential use in diagnostics and prognostics. We further discuss the established and emerging diagnostic approaches that can be used to detect cancers from liquid biopsies, and additionally the technological advancement required for their use in clinical settings.

Abstract
The rapid progress in the development of surface plasmon resonance-based immunosensing platforms offers wide application possibilities in medical diagnostics as a label-free alternative to enzyme immunoassays. The early diagnosis of diseases or metabolic changes through the detection of biomarkers in body fluids requires methods characterized by a very good sensitivity and selectivity. In the case of the SPR technique, as well as other surface-sensitive detection strategies, the quality of the transducer-immunoreceptor interphase is crucial for maintaining the analytical reliability of an assay. In this work, an overview of general approaches to the design of functional SPR-immunoassays is presented. It covers both immunosensors, the design of which utilizes well-known and often commercially available substrates, as well as the latest solutions developed in-house. Various approaches employing chemical and passive binding, affinity-based antibody immobilization, and the introduction of nanomaterial-based surfaces are discussed. The essence of their influence on the improvement of the main analytical parameters of a given immunosensor is explained. Particular attention is paid to solutions compatible with the latest trends in the development of label-free immunosensors, such as platforms dedicated to real-time monitoring in a quasi-continuous mode, the use of in situ-generated receptor layers (elimination of the regeneration step), and biosensors using recombinant and labelled protein receptors.

Abstract
In this work, we describe an innovative methodology based on combined surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and electrochemical responses (eSPR) in the same immunoassay for screening CA 15-3 cancer biomarker with high sensitivity (and selectivity), in a very simple, label-free, accurate, and fully automated manner. Detection was achieved by performing two simple steps. In the first step, direct SPR was used to monitor CA 15-3 interaction with surface immobilized antibody. Two linear response ranges were obtained and the detection limit achieved is poor (LOD of 21 U mL-1). However, in the second detection step, electrochemical measurements at the SPR gold surface were performed to measure the decrease of redox probe peak current upon antigen-antibody interaction, providing a suitable amplification strategy to lower detection levels of CA 15-3 (LOD of 0.0998 U mL-1), without the need of additional complex and/or expensive amplification steps to enhance the sensitivity. Moreover, selectivity studies were performed against other common cancer biomarkers and the results showed that the eSPR immunosensor is selective for the CA 15-3 protein. Finally, the clinical applicability of the developed eSPR biosensing methodology was successfully applied to detect CA 15-3 in human serum samples at clinically relevant levels due to the high sensitivity of electrochemical readout. The same concept may be further extended to other proteins of interest.

Abstract
Cancer is the second most extended disease with an improved death rate over the past several time. Due to the restrictions of cancer analysis methods, the patient's real survival rate is unknown. Therefore, early stage diagnosis of cancer is crucial for its strong detection. Bio-analysis based on biomarkers may help to overcome the problem Biosensors with high sensitivity and specificity, low-cost, high analysis speed and minimum limit of detection are practical alternatives for laboratory tests. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is reaching a maturity level sufficient for their application in detection and determination cancer biomarkers in clinical samples. This review discusses main concepts and performance characteristics of SPR biosensor. Mainly, it focuses on newly emerged enhanced SPR biosensors towards high-throughput and ultrasensitive screening of cancer biomarkers such as PSA, α-fetoprotein, CEA, CA125, CA 15-3, HER2, ctDNA, ALCAM, hCG, VEGF, TNF, Interleukin, IFN-γ, CD24, CD44, Ferritin, COLIV using labeling processes with focusing on the future application in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. This article reviews current status of the field, showcasing a series of early successes in the application of SPR for clinical bioanalysis of cancer related biomolecules and detailing a series of considerations regarding sensing schemes, exposing issues with analysis in biofluids, while providing an outlook of the challenges currently associated with plasmonic materials, bioreceptor selection, microfluidics, and validation of a clinical bioassay for applying SPR biosensors to clinical samples. Research opportunities are proposed to further advance the field and transition SPR biosensors from research proof-of-concept stage to actual clinical usage.

Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate the potential use of SPRi for secretion-monitoring of pancreatic islets, small micro-organs that regulate glucose homeostasis in the body. In the islets, somatostatin works as a paracrine inhibitor of insulin and glucagon secretion. However, this inhibitory effect is lost in diabetic individuals and little is known about its contribution to the pathology of diabetes. Thus, the simultaneous detection of insulin, glucagon and somatostatin could help understand such communications. Previously, the authors introduced an SPRi biosensor to simultaneously monitor insulin, glucagon and somatostatin using an indirect competitive immunoassay. However, our sensor achieved a relatively high LOD for somatostatin detection (246 nM), the smallest of the three hormones. For this reason, the present work aimed to improve the performance of our SPRi biosensor using gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as a means of ensuring somatostatin detection from a small group of islets. Although GNP amplification is frequently reported in the literature for individual detection of analytes using SPR, studies regarding the optimal strategy in a multiplexed SPR setup are missing. Therefore, with the aim of finding the optimal GNP amplification strategies for multiplex sensing we compared three architectures: (1) GNPs immobilized on the sensor surface, (2) GNPs conjugated with primary antibodies (GNP-Ab1) and (3) GNPs conjugated with a secondary antibody (GNP-Ab2). Among these strategies an immunoassay using GNP-Ab2 conjugates was able to achieve multiplex detection of the three hormones without cross-reactivity and with 9-fold LOD improvement for insulin, 10-fold for glucagon and 200-fold for somatostatin when compared to the SPRi biosensor without GNPs. The present work denotes the first report of the simultaneous detection of such hormones with a sensitivity level comparable to ELISA assays, particularly for somatostatin.

Abstract
In recent years, hybrid ligand-binding assays (LBAs)/LC–MS assays have been increasingly used for quantitation of protein biomarkers in biological matrices. However, unlike in LBAs where the importance of critical reagent screening and characterization is well understood and widely reported, benefits of well-characterized hybrid LC–MS assay reagents are frequently underestimated. Two groups of analyte-specific reagents, binding reagents and assay calibrators, are considered the critical reagents for biomarker assays. In this article, we summarize the similarities and differences of critical reagents used in LBAs and hybrid LC–MS assays, overview the benefits and approaches of critical reagent screening, characterization, antibody conjugation and discuss bioanalytical considerations in hybrid LC–MS assay development for robust measurements of protein biomarkers in biological matrices.

Abstract
Nanoparticles functionalized with specific biological recognition molecules play a major role for sensor response enhancement in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based biosensors. The functionalization procedure of such nanoparticles is crucial, since it influences their interactions with the environment and determines their applicability to biomolecular detection in complex matrices. In this work we show how the ζ-potential (Zpot) of bio-functionalized gold spherical NPs (Bio-NPs) is related to the SPR sensor response enhancement of an immune-sandwich-assay for the detection of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a cancer marker for colorectal carcinomas. In particular, we prepare bio-functional nanoparticles by varying the amount of peptide (either streptavidin or antibody against CEA) bound on their surface. Specific and non-specific sensor responses, reproducibility, and colloidal stability of those bio-functional nanoparticles are measured via SPR and compared to ζ-potential values. Those parameters are first measured in buffer solution, then measured again when the surface of the biosensor is exposed to blood plasma, and finally when the nanoparticles are immersed in blood plasma and flowed overnight on the biosensor. We found that ζ-potential values can guide the design of bio-functional NPs with improved binding efficiency and reduced non-specific sensor response, suitable reproducibility and colloidal stability, even in complex matrixes like blood plasma.

Abstract
Organic semiconductor lasers are a sensitive biosensing platform that respond to specific biomolecule binding events. So far, such biosensors have utilized protein-based interactions for surface functionalization but a nucleic acid-based strategy would considerably widen their utility as a general biodiagnostic platform. This manuscript reports two important advances for DNA-based sensing using an organic semiconductor (OS) distributed feedback (DFB) laser. First, the immobilization of alkyne-tagged 12/18-mer oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN) probes by Cu-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or "click-chemistry" onto an 80 nm thick OS laser film modified with an azide-presenting polyelectrolyte monolayer is presented. Second, sequence-selective binding to these immobilized probes with complementary ODN-functionalized silver nanoparticles, is detected. As binding occurs, the nanoparticles increase the optical losses of the laser mode through plasmonic scattering and absorption, and this causes a rise in the threshold pump energy required for laser action that is proportional to the analyte concentration. By monitoring this threshold, detection of the complementary ODN target down to 11.5 pM is achieved. This complementary binding on the laser surface is independently confirmed through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).

Although many advanced biosensing techniques have been proposed for cytokine profiling, there are no clinically available methods that integrate high-resolution immune cell monitoring and in situ multiplexed cytokine detection together in a biomimetic tissue microenvironment. The primary challenge arises due to the lack of suitable label-free sensing techniques and difficulty for sensor integration. In this work, we demonstrated a novel integration of a localized-surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based biosensor with a biomimetic microfluidic 'adipose-tissue-on-chip' platform for an in situ label-free, high-throughput and multiplexed cytokine secretion analysis of obese adipose tissue. Using our established adipose-tissue-on-chip platform, we were able to monitor the adipose tissue initiation, differentiation, and maturation and simulate the hallmark formation of crown-like structures (CLSs) during pro-inflammatory stimulation. With integrated antibody-conjugated LSPR barcode sensor arrays, our platform enables simultaneous multiplexed measurements of pro-inflammatory (IL-6 and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10 and IL-4) cytokines secreted by the adipocytes and macrophages. As a result, our adipose-tissue-on-chip platform is capable of identifying stage-specific cytokine secretion profiles from a complex milieu during obesity progression, highlighting its potential as a high-throughput preclinical readout for personalized obesity treatment strategies.

Abstract
![]()
There is a large
unmet need for reliable biomarker measurement
systems for clinical application. Such systems should meet challenging
requirements for large scale use, including a large dynamic detection
range, multiplexing capacity, and both high specificity and sensitivity.
More importantly, these requirements need to apply to complex biological
samples, which require extensive quality control. In this paper, we
present the development of an enhancement detection cascade for surface
plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). The cascade applies an antibody
sandwich assay, followed by neutravidin and a gold nanoparticle enhancement
for quantitative biomarker measurements in small volumes of complex
fluids. We present a feasibility study both in simple buffers and
in spiked equine synovial fluid with four cytokines, IL-1β,
IL-6, IFN-γ, and TNF-α. Our enhancement cascade leads
to an antibody dependent improvement in sensitivity up to 40 000
times, resulting in a limit of detection as low as 50 fg/mL and a
dynamic detection range of more than 7 logs. Additionally, measurements
at these low concentrations are highly reliable with intra- and interassay
CVs between 2% and 20%. We subsequently showed this assay is suitable
for multiplex measurements with good specificity and limited cross-reactivity.
Moreover, we demonstrated robust detection of IL-6 and IL-1β
in spiked undiluted equine synovial fluid with small variation compared
to buffer controls. In addition, the availability of real time measurements
provides extensive quality control opportunities, essential for clinical
applications. Therefore, we consider this method is suitable for broad
application in SPRi for multiplex biomarker detection in both research
and clinical settings.

Abstract
Measurement of small molecules in extremely dilute concentrations of analyte play an important role in different issues ranging from food industry to biological, pharmaceutical and therapeutical applications. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors can be a suitable choice for detection of small molecules based on interactions with biomolecules. However, sensitivity of the system for detection of these molecules is very low. Improving sensitivity has been a challenge for years. Therefore, different methods have been used to enhance SPR signals. The SPR signal enhancement using numerous nanomaterials has provided exciting results. Among various nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles (for instance gold, silver and magnetic nanoparticles), quantum dots, nanorads, and carbon-based nanostructures have got much attention due to ease in fabrication, appropriate size and shape. In addition to the advantages provided by using nanomaterials, signal enhancement provided by the appropriate use of phase information of the reflected light could be also important to improve SPR sensitivity. Phase-sensitive SPR sensors are able to detect infinitesimal changes in external properties of target while traditional type of SPR cannot demonstrate these changes. This article provides an overview on signal enhancment in SPR using nanomaterials and properties of light. We also discuss on recent progresses of the field, describing basic concepts concerning nanostructures as well as phase-sensitive sensors as platform for enhancement of signal in SPR.

Abstract
We demonstrated a cytokine detection device based on gold nanoparticle modified silica optical fiber for the monitoring of locally variable cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations using a sandwich immunoassay scheme. The fiber is designed to be introduced into an intrathecal catheter with micrometer-sized holes drilled along its length to enable fluid exchange between the outside and inside of the catheter. An exposed optical fiber (diameter 125 μm) modified with a layer of gold nanoparticles was functionalized with the IL-6 capture antibody to form the sensing interface. The immunocapture device was incubated with a cytokine solution to capture the analyte. The device was then exposed to the IL-6 detection antibody which was loaded on the fluorescently labeled magnetic nanoparticles, making it possible to quantify the cytokine concentration based on the intensity of fluorescence. A reliable method for quantifying the fluorescent signal on a 3D structure was developed. This device was applied to the detection of cytokine IL-6 with the low limit of detection of 1 pg mL-1 in a sample volume of 1 μL. The device has the linear detection range of 1-400 pg mL-1 and spatial resolution on the order of 200-450 μm, and it is capable of detecting localized IL-6 secreted by live BV2 cells following their liposaccharide stimulation. This biological detection system is suitable for monitoring multiple health conditions.

Abstract
Protein biomarkers, especially cytokines, play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases. Therefore, a critical need for advanced cytokine sensors has been rapidly growing and will continue to expand to promote clinical testing, new biomarker development, and disease studies. In particular, sensors employing transduction principles of various optical modalities have emerged as the most common means of detection. In typical cytokine assays which are based on the binding affinities between the analytes of cytokines and their specific antibodies, optical schemes represent the most widely used mechanisms, with some serving as the gold standard against which all existing and new sensors are benchmarked. With recent advancements in nanoscience and nanotechnology, many of the recently emerging technologies for cytokine detection exploit various forms of nanomaterials for improved sensing capabilities. Nanomaterials have been demonstrated to exhibit exceptional optical properties unique to their reduced dimensionality. Novel sensing approaches based on the newly identified properties of nanomaterials have shown drastically improved performances in both the qualitative and quantitative analyses of cytokines. This article brings together the fundamentals in the literature that are central to different optical modalities developed for cytokine detection. Recent advancements in the applications of novel technologies are also discussed in terms of those that enable highly sensitive and multiplexed cytokine quantification spanning a wide dynamic range. For each highlighted optical technique, its current detection capabilities as well as associated challenges are discussed. Lastly, an outlook for nanomaterial-based cytokine sensors is provided from the perspective of optimizing the technologies for sensitivity and multiplexity as well as promoting widespread adaptations of the emerging optical techniques by lowering high thresholds currently present in the new approaches.

Abstract
The detection of tumor markers is very important in early cancer diagnosis; however, tumor markers are usually present at very low concentrations, especially in the early stages of tumor development. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely used to detect biomolecular interactions; it has inherent advantages of being high-throughput, real-time, and label-free technique. However, its sensitivity needs essential improvement for practical applications. In this study, we developed a signal amplification strategy using antibody-quantum dot (QD) conjugates for the sensitive and quantitative detection of α-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin fragment 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) in clinical samples. The use of a dual signal amplification strategy using AuNP-antibody and antibody-QD conjugates increased the signal amplification by 50-folds. The constructed SPR biosensor showed a detection limit as low as 0.1 ng/mL for AFP, CEA, and CYFRA 21-1. Moreover, the results obtained using this SPR biosensor were consistent with those obtained using the electrochemiluminescence method. Thus, the constructed SPR biosensor provides a highly sensitive and specific approach for the detection of tumor markers. This SPR biosensor can be expected to be readily applied for the detection of other tumor markers and can offer a potentially powerful solution for tumor screening.

Abstract
Determining ultratrace amounts of protein biomarkers in patient samples in a straightforward and quantitative manner is extremely important for early disease diagnosis and treatment. Here, we successfully demonstrate the novel use of zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) in the ultrasensitive and quantitative detection of two acute kidney injury (AKI)-related protein biomarkers, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-8, directly from patient samples. We first validate the ZnO NRs-based IL-8 results via comparison with those obtained from using a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent method in samples from 38 individuals. We further assess the full detection capability of the ZnO NRs-based technique by quantifying TNF-α, whose levels in human urine are often below the detection limits of conventional methods. Using the ZnO NR platforms, we determine the TNF-α concentrations of all 46 patient samples tested, down to the fg per mL level. Subsequently, we screen for TNF-α levels in approximately 50 additional samples collected from different patient groups in order to demonstrate a potential use of the ZnO NRs-based assay in assessing cytokine levels useful for further clinical monitoring. Our research efforts demonstrate that ZnO NRs can be straightforwardly employed in the rapid, ultrasensitive, quantitative, and simultaneous detection of multiple AKI-related biomarkers directly in patient urine samples, providing an unparalleled detection capability beyond those of conventional analysis methods. Additional key advantages of the ZnO NRs-based approach include a fast detection speed, low-volume assay condition, multiplexing ability, and easy automation/integration capability to existing fluorescence instrumentation. Therefore, we anticipate that our ZnO NRs-based detection method will be highly beneficial for overcoming the frequent challenges in early biomarker development and treatment assessment, pertaining to the facile and ultrasensitive quantification of hard-to-trace biomolecules.

Abstract
TNF-α is an inflammatory cytokine produced by the immune system. Serum TNF-α level is elevated in some pathological states such as septic shock, graft rejection, HIV infection, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. Detecting trace amount of TNF-α is, also, very important for the understanding of tumor biological processes. Detection of this key biomarker is commonly achieved by use of ELISA or cytofluorimetric based methods. In this study the traditional optical detection was replaced by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and an affinity molecule, produced by evolutionary approaches, has been tested as capture bioreceptor. This molecule, namely a combinatorial non-immunoglobulin protein (Affibody®) interacts with TNF-α selectively and was here tested in a sandwich assay format. Moreover magnetic beads were used as support for bioreceptor immobilization and screen printed carbon electrodes were used as transducers. TNF-α calibration curve was performed, obtaining the detection limit of 38pg/mL, the quantification range of 76-5000pg/mL and RSD%=7. Preliminary results of serum samples analysis were also reported.

Abstract
Systemic inflammatory disorders resulting from infection, trauma, surgery, and severe disease conditions pose serious threats to human health leading to organ dysfunction, organ failure, and mortality. The highly complex and dynamic nature of the immune system experiencing acute inflammation makes immunomodulatory therapy blocking pro-inflammatory cytokines very challenging. Successful therapy requires the ability to determine appropriate anti-cytokine drugs to be delivered at a right dose in a timely manner. Label-free micro- and nano-biosensors hold the potential to overcome the current challenges, enabling cytokine-targeted treatments to be tailored according to the immune status of an individual host with their unique cytokine biomarker detection capabilities. This review studies the recent progress in label-free cytokine biosensors, summarizes their performances and potential merits, and discusses future directions for their advancements to meet challenges towards personalized anti-cytokine drug delivery.

However, the multiplexed detection of biomarkers in real samples is still challenging. Interleukin 8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) are two typical biomarkers of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we developed a multiplexed detection methodology for IL-8 and TNF-α detection in saliva using SiNW FET biosensors. We fabricated the SiNW FET sensors using a top-down lithography fabrication technique. Subsequently, we achieved the multiplexed detection of two biomarkers in saliva by specific recognition of the two biomarkers with their corresponding antibodies, which were modified on the SiNW. The established method was found to have a limit of detection as low as 10 fg/mL in 1 × PBS as well as 100 fg/mL in artificial saliva. Because of its advantages, including label-free and multiplexed detection, non-invasive analysis, highly sensitive and specific determination, the proposed method is expected to be widely used for the early diagnosis of OSCC.

Abstract
Proteomic methodologies for identification and analysis of biomarkers have gained more attention during recent years and have evolved rapidly. Identification and detection of disease biomarkers are important to foresee outbreaks of certain diseases thereby avoiding surgery and other invasive and expensive medical treatments for patients. Thus, more research into discovering new biomarkers and new methods for faster and more accurate detection is needed. It is often difficult to detect and measure biomarkers because of their low concentrations and the complexity of their respective matrices. Therefore it is hard to find and validate methods for accurate screening methods suitable for clinical use. The most recent developments during the last three years and also some historical considerations of proteomic methodologies for identification and validation of disease biomarkers are presented in this review.

Abstract
Cytokines are bioactive proteins produced by many different cells of the immune system. Due to their role in different inflammatory disease states and maintaining homeostasis, there is enormous clinical interest in the quantitation of cytokines. The typical standard methods for quantitation of cytokines are immunoassay-based techniques including enzyme-linked immusorbent assays (ELISA) and bead-based immunoassays read by either standard or modified flow cytometers. A review of recent developments in analytical methods for measurements of cytokine proteins is provided. This review briefly covers cytokine biology and the analysis challenges associated with measurement of these biomarker proteins for understanding both health and disease. New techniques applied to immunoassay-based assays are presented along with the uses of aptamers, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, optical resonator-based methods. Methods used for elucidating the release of cytokines from single cells as well as in vivo collection methods are described.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) has emerged as a versatile biosensor to detect a wide range of biomolecular interactions with divergent potential applications. However, the use of this advanced-level technology for stem cell lysate study is still not much explored. Cell lysates are significant biological analytes used for disease diagnostics and proteomic studies, but their complex nature limits their use as an analyte for SPRi biosensors. Here, we review the problems associated with the use of SPRi for stem cell lysate study and examine the role of surface chemistry, running buffer, and blocking solution in order to minimize nonspecific adsorption (NSA). We detect the expression of Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, Rex1, and Lin28 biomarkers present in mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) lysate against their corresponding antibodies immobilized on the sensor surface with reduced NSA. The current study shows that the conjunction of SPRi and microarray can be used as a label-free, high-throughput, and rapid technique for detection of biomarkers and their relative abundance in stem cell lysate study.

Amperometric magnetoimmunoassay for the direct detection of tumor necrosis factor alpha biomarker in human serum. Anal Chim Acta 2014; 838:37-44.

Abstract
An amperometric immunoassay for the determination of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) protein biomarker in human serum based on the use of magnetic microbeads (MBs) and disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) has been developed. The specifically modified microbeads were magnetically captured on the working electrode surface and the amperometric responses were measured at -0.20V (vs. Ag pseudo-reference electrode), upon addition of hydroquinone (HQ) as electron transfer mediator and H2O2 as the enzyme substrate. After a thorough optimization of the assay, extremely low limits of detection were achieved: 2.0pg mL(-1) (36fM) and 5.8pg mL(-1) (105fM) for standard solutions and spiked human serum, respectively. The simplicity, robustness and this clinically interesting LOD proved the developed TNFα immunoassay as a good contender for real clinical application.
