Talanta 2023; 265:124818. [PMID: 37453393 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is increasingly used as a sensitive bioanalytical tool for detection of variety of analytes ranging from viruses and bacteria to cancer biomarkers and toxins, etc. This comprehensive review describes principles of operation and compares the performance of immunoassays and aptamer assays with Surface Enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection to each other and to some other bioassay methods, including ELISA and fluorescence assays. Both immuno- and aptamer-based assays are categorized into assay on solid substrates, assays with magnetic nanoparticles and assays in laminar flow or/and strip assays. The best performing and recent examples of assays in each category are described in the text and illustrated in the figures. The average performance, particularly, limit of detection (LOD) for each of those methods reflected in 9 tables of the manuscript and average LODs are calculated and compared. We found out that, on average, there is some advantage in terms of LOD for SERS immunoassays (0.5 pM median LOD of 88 papers) vs SERS aptamer-based assays (1.7 pM median LOD of 51 papers). We also tabulated and analyzed the clinical performance of SERS immune and aptamer assays, where selectivity, specificity, and accuracy are reported, we summarized the best examples. We also reviewed challenges to SERS bioassay performance and real-life application, including non-specific protein binding, nanoparticle aggregation, limited nanotag stability, sometimes, relatively long time to results, etc. The proposed solutions to those challenges are also discussed in the review. Overall, this review may be interesting not only to bioanalytical chemist, but to medical and life science researchers who are interested in improvement of bioanalyte detection and diagnostics.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a sensitive, widely used spectroscopic technique. However, SERS is perceived as poorly reproducible and insufficiently robust for standard applications in analytical chemistry. Here, we demonstrated that reliable SERS immunoassay quantification at low concentrations (pM range) can be achieved by careful experimental design and appropriate data analysis statistics. A SERS-based immunoassay for IgG in human serum (3.1-50.0 ng mL-1 or 20.6-333 pM) was developed as a proof of concept. Calibration curves were created using the population median of the band area, centered at 592 cm-1, of a SERS reporter (Nile Blue A). Histograms of 7200 SERS spectra show lognormal distributions. SEM images of the sensor platform confirm a correlation between the number of SERS probes (ERLs) at the surface and the SERS intensity response. The IgG immunosensor reported here presented a limit of detection of 1.11 ng mL-1 or 7.39 pM and a limit of quantification of 9.04 ng mL-1 or 60.30 pM, within a 95% confidence level. The % error of the predicted versus the actual response of a quality control (QC) sample was 0.13%. The percent error of the QC sample decreases exponentially with the number of measurements. Randomly selected spatially separated measurements provided lower QC % error than a larger number of measurements that were closely spaced. We propose that it is necessary to describe the measured populations using an appropriate sample size for good statistics and consider the interrogation of sufficiently large and well-separated areas of the sensor surface to achieve a reliable sampling.

Abstract
In the last two decades, the application of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles for preclinical cancer imaging has attracted increasing attention. Raman imaging with SERS nanoparticles offers unparalleled sensitivity, providing a platform for molecular targeting, and granting multiplexed and multimodal imaging capabilities. Recent progress has been facilitated not only by the optimization of the SERS contrast agents themselves, but also by the developments in Raman imaging approaches and instrumentation. In this article, we review the principles of Raman scattering and SERS, present advances in Raman instrumentation specific to cancer imaging, and discuss the biological means of ensuring selective in vivo uptake of SERS contrast agents for targeted, multiplexed, and multimodal imaging applications. We offer our perspective on areas that must be addressed in order to facilitate the clinical translation of SERS contrast agents for in vivo imaging in oncology.

Abstract
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is an important hormone drug that is used to treat several medical conditions. It is also frequently abused by athletes as a performance enhancing agent at sporting events. The time window of the rHuEPO in blood is short. Therefore, the rapid detection of rHuEPO use/abuse at points of care and in sports requires a selective analytical method and a sensitive sensor. Herein, we present a highly selective method for the rapid detection of rHuEPO in human blood plasma by a sensitive optical sensor. rHuEPO is selectively extracted from human blood plasma by a target-specific extractor chip and converted into a biothiol by reducing its disulfide bond structure. The formed biothiol reacts with a water soluble (E)-1-((6-methoxybenzo[d]thiazole-2-yl)diazenyl)naphthalene-2,6-diolHg(ii) (BAN-Hg) optical sensor and causes its rapid decomposition. This leads to a rapid change in the sensor color from blue to pink that can be observed by the naked eye. The optical sensor was used to quantify rHuEPO in the concentration range 1 × 10-8 M to 1 × 10-12 M by UV-Vis spectroscopy. For the screening of blood plasma, an EPO-specific extractor chip was synthesized and used to selectively extract the protein from the biological matrix prior to its conversion into biothiol and quantification by the optical sensor. Since many proteins have a disulfide bond structure, the new method has strong potential for their rapid sensitive and selective detection by the BAN-Hg sensor and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Abstract
Gaining insight into the mode of operation of heterogeneous catalysts is of great scientific and economic interest. Raman spectroscopy has proven its potential as a powerful vibrational spectroscopic technique for a fundamental and molecular-level characterization of catalysts and catalytic reactions. Raman spectra provide important insight into reaction mechanisms by revealing specific information on the catalysts' (defect) structure in the bulk and at the surface, as well as the presence of adsorbates and reaction intermediates. Modern Raman instrumentation based on single-stage spectrometers allows high throughput and versatility in design of in situ/operando cells to study working catalysts. This review highlights major advances in the use of Raman spectroscopy for the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts made during the past decade, including the development of new methods and potential directions of research for applying Raman spectroscopy to working catalysts. The main focus will be on gas-solid catalytic reactions, but (photo)catalytic reactions in the liquid phase will be touched on if it appears appropriate. The discussion begins with the main instrumentation now available for applying vibrational Raman spectroscopy to catalysis research, including in situ/operando cells for studying gas-solid catalytic processes. The focus then moves to the different types of information available from Raman spectra in the bulk and on the surface of solid catalysts, including adsorbates and surface depositions, as well as the use of theoretical calculations to facilitate band assignments and to describe (resonance) Raman effects. This is followed by a presentation of major developments in enhancing the Raman signal of heterogeneous catalysts by use of UV resonance Raman spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and shell-isolated nanoparticle surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). The application of time-resolved Raman studies to structural and kinetic characterization is then discussed. Finally, recent developments in spatially resolved Raman analysis of catalysts and catalytic processes are presented, including the use of coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). The review concludes with an outlook on potential future developments and applications of Raman spectroscopy in heterogeneous catalysis.

Unveiling the role of ATP in amplification of intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoparticles. 3 Biotech 2018; 8:67.

Abstract
Peroxidase enzyme-like activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is currently being investigated for the potential application in the several realms of biomedicines. However, little is explored about the peroxidase activity of AuNPs decorated with different surface charges. It is well-documented that the catalytic activity and the interaction with mammalian cells are significantly different among AuNPs carrying different surface charges. We have recently reported that ATP enhances the peroxidase-like activity of AuNPs and iron oxide nanoparticles. However, a comprehensive and systematic study to reveal the role of surface charge on nanoparticles peroxidase-like activity has not been studied. In this work, we have shown that AuNPs coated with PEG (PEG AuNPs), citrate (citrate AuNPs) or CTAB (CTAB AuNPs) exhibit varying peroxidase-like activity and the boosting effect imparted by ATP was also different. We found that the peroxidase-like activity of PEG AuNPs and citrate AuNPs is dependent on hydroxyl radical formation, whereas CTAB AuNPs did not show any significant activity under the same experimental conditions. We also studied the boosting effect of ATP on the peroxidase-like activity of PEG and citrate AuNPs. Although the use of ATP resulted in enhanced peroxidase-like activity; however, contrary to the expectation, it did not facilitate the enhanced production of hydroxyl radical. In further studies, we found that the likely mechanism of boosting effect by ATP is the stabilization of oxidized TMB after peroxidase reaction. ATP imparts stabilization to the oxidized TMB produced due to PEG AuNPs, citrate AuNPs as well as HRP.

Abstract
We report an automated single particle tracking technique for tracking the x, y, z coordinates, azimuthal and elevation angles of anisotropic plasmonic gold nanorod probes in live cells. These five spatial coordinates are collectively referred to as 5D. This method overcomes a long-standing challenge in distinguishing rotational motions from translational motions in the z-axis in differential interference contrast microscopy to result in full disclosure of nanoscale motions with high accuracy. Transferrin-coated endocytic gold nanorod cargoes initially undergo active rotational diffusion and display characteristic rotational motions on the membrane. Then as the cargoes being enclosed in clathrin-coated pits, they slow down the active rotation and experience a quiet period before they restore active rotational diffusion after fission and eventually being transported away from the original entry spots. Finally, the 3D trajectories and the accompanying rotational motions of the cargoes are resolved accurately to render the intracellular transport process in live cells.Distinguishing rotational motions from translational motions in the z-axis has been a long-standing challenge. Here the authors develop a five-dimensional single particle tracking method to detect rotational behaviors of nanocargos during clathrin-mediated endocytosis and intracellular transport.

Abstract
Rapid and convenient biosensing platforms could be beneficial to timely diagnosis and treatment of diseases in virtually any care settings. Sandwich immunoassays, the most commonly used methods for protein detection, often rely on expensive tags such as enzyme and tedious wash and incubation procedures operated by skilled labor. In this report, we revolutionized traditional sandwich immunoassays by providing a wash-free homogeneous colorimetric immunoassay method without requirement of any separation steps. The proposed strategy was realized by controlling the growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to mediate the interparticle spacing in the protein-AuNP oligomers. We have demonstrated the successful in vitro detection of cancer biomarker in serum samples from patients with high clinical sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Seeded emulsion polymerization is by far the most successful synthetic method for making anisotropic particles with precise control and high throughput. However, this synthesis involves multiple steps and the types of anisotropic properties that have been made on particles are limited. Here, we demonstrate, by using two different types of nonpolymerizable swelling agents, that we can simplify this method while still producing colloidal dimers with combined anisotropic properties in geometry, interface, and composition. When we swell cross-linked polystyrene seed particles with a simple solvent toluene, without additional polymerization steps we can make dimers with asymmetric distribution of surface charges and roughness on two lobes by fast extraction of toluene. We further show that this toluene-swelling-extraction method can promote the surface modification of the second lobe selectively especially for hydrophilic and stimuli-responsive polymers, which was a significant challenge in dimer synthesis. When we change the swelling agent to a sol-gel precursor, that is, tetraethyl orthosilicate, we can make polystyrene-silica hybrid particles with different morphologies. Our method provides a facile synthetic platform for making colloidal particles with different types of anisotropic properties, which are expected to find important applications for colloidal surfactant, self-assembly, and artificial motors.

Abstract
Up to now, the successful fabrication of efficient hot-spot substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) remains an unsolved problem. To address this issue, we describe herein a universal aptamer-based SERS biodetection approach that uses a single-stranded DNA as a universal trigger (UT) to induce SERS-active hot-spot formation, allowing, in turn, detection of a broad range of targets. More specifically, interaction between the aptamer probe and its target perturbs a triple-helix aptamer/UT structure in a manner that activates a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) among three short DNA building blocks that self-assemble into a long DNA polymer. The SERS-active hot-spots are formed by conjugating 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT)-encoded gold nanoparticles with the DNA polymer through a specific Au-S bond. As proof-of-principle, we used this approach to quantify multiple target analytes, including thrombin, adenosine, and CEM cancer cells, achieving lowest limit of detection values of 18 pM, 1.5 nM, and 10 cells/mL, respectively. As a universal SERS detector, this prototype can be applied to many other target analytes through the use of suitable DNA-functional partners, thus inspiring new designs and applications of SERS for bioanalysis.

Abstract
This perspective provides an overview of the diverse surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensor platforms that have been developed for in vitro diagnostic applications. To provide focus, protein and nucleic acid detection assays based on the principle of extrinsic SERS sensing are emphasized, as well as their potential for translation to fully integrated point-of-care (POC) test platforms. The development of intrinsic SERS sensors, which are predicated on the direct detection of analytes by laser excitation, entails unique opportunities and challenges deserving of their own attention. As the robust sensing of disease pathogens and cancers in both clinical facilities and limited resource settings is the targeted objective of many next-generation biosensors, the majority of the research progress summarized here centers on SERS sensors developed for the rapid, sensitive and selective detection of disease-causing pathogens and biomarkers. In our effort to communicate a realistic assessment of the progress that has been made and the challenges that lie ahead, we avoid an overtly optimistic appraisal of the current status of SERS diagnostics that does not tacitly acknowledge the difficulties inherent in aligning SERS-based technologies alongside ELISA and PCR technologies as a complementary method for bioanalyte detection possessing unique advantages.

Abstract
A rapid and simple SERS-based immunoassay has been developed to overcome diffusion-limited binding kinetics that often impedes rapid analysis in conventional heterogeneous immunoassays. This paper describes the development of an antibody-modified membrane as a flow-through capture substrate for a nanoparticle-enabled SERS immunoassay to enhance antibody-antigen binding kinetics. A thin layer of gold is plated onto polycarbonate track-etched nanoporous membranes via electroless deposition. Capture antibody is immobilized onto the surface of a gold-plated membrane via thiolate coupling chemistry to serve as a capture substrate. A syringe is then used to actively transport the analyte and extrinsic Raman labels to the capture substrate. The fabrication of the gold-plated membrane is thoroughly investigated and established as a viable capture substrate for a SERS-based immunoassay in the absence of sample/SERS label flow. A syringe pump is used to systematically investigate the effect of flow rate on antibody-antigen binding kinetics and demonstrate that active transport to the capture membrane surface expedites antibody-antigen binding. Mouse IgG and goat anti-mouse IgG are selected as a model antigen-antibody system to establish proof of principle. It is demonstrated that the assay for mouse IgG is reduced from 24 h to 10 min and a 10-fold improvement in detection limit is achieved with the flow assay developed herein relative to the passive, i.e., no flow, assay. Moreover, mouse serum is directly analyzed and IgG level is determined using the flow assay.

Abstract
Monodispersed truncated octahedral (TOH) Au nanoparticles (NPs) with an average edge-length of about 16 nm were synthesized using poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) both as a stabilizing and reducing agent via a one-step reaction. Remarkably, no seeds, surfactants or additional reductant were used in this reaction. In addition, the PDDA molecules on the surface of the TOH AuNPs make them convenient for use in layer-by-layer assembly by electrostatic interactions. Importantly, the TOH AuNPs show a significant surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity, and can be directly used for building SERS-active substrates and tags. Based on these promising properties, an ultrasensitive SERS-based immunosensing platform was developed. Using human immunoglobulin (h-IgG) as a model target analyte, a detection limit of 36.56 fg ml(-1) was reached.

Abstract
A full understanding of cell mechanics requires knowledge of both translational and rotational dynamics. The single particle orientation and rotational tracking (SPORT) technique is combined here with correlation analysis to identify the fundamental rotational modes: in-plane rotation and out-of-plane tilting, as well as other more complex rotational patterns, from the vast image data captured at a temporal resolution of 5 ms for single gold nanorod probes in live cell imaging experiments. The unique capabilities of visualizing and understanding rotational motions of functional nanoparticles on live cell membranes allow correlation of the rotational and translational dynamics in unprecedented detail and provide new insights into complex membrane processes. Particles with functionalized surfaces, which interact with the membrane in fundamentally different ways, can exhibit distinct rotational modes and are, for the first time, directly visualized, and these show the early events for membrane approach and attachment.

Abstract
For improving signals, reproducibility, and stabilities of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), numerous technologies have recently been reported in the literature. However, the fabrication processes are usually complicated. It is well-known that nanoparticles (NPs) of Au and SiO(2) are SERS active and inactive materials, respectively. In this work, a simple synthesis route based on sonoelectrochemical pulse deposition (SEPD) methods has been developed to synthesize effectively SERS-active Au/SiO(2) nanocomposites (NCs) with an enhancement factor of 5.4 × 10(8). Experimental results indicate that pH value of solution and addition of SiO(2) NPs before and after oxidation-reduction cycles (ORCs) can significantly influence the corresponding SERS activities. Encouragingly, the SERS of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) adsorbed on the developed Au/SiO(2) NCs exhibits a higher intensity by more than 1 order of magnitude, as compared with that of R6G adsorbed on Au NPs synthesized using the same method. Moreover, this improved SERS activity is successfully verified from the mechanisms of electromagnetic (EM) and chemical (CHEM) enhancements.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy can differentiate the spectral fingerprints of many molecules, resulting in potentially high multiplexing capabilities of Raman-tagged nanoparticles. However, accurate quantitative unmixing of Raman spectra is challenging because of potential overlaps between Raman peaks from each molecule as well as slight variations in the location, height and width of the very narrow peaks. If not accounted for properly, even minor fluctuations in the spectra may produce significant error which will ultimately result in poor unmixing accuracy. The objective of our study was to develop and validate a mathematical model of the Raman spectra of nanoparticles to unmix the contributions from each nanoparticle allowing simultaneous quantitation of several nanoparticle concentrations during sample characterization. We developed and evaluated an algorithm for quantitative unmixing of the spectra, called Narrow Peak Spectral Algorithm (NPSA) . Using NPSA, we were able to successfully unmix Raman spectra from up to 7 Raman nanoparticles after correcting for the spectral variations of 30% in intensity and shifts in peak locations of up to 10 cm-1 which is equivalent to 50% of the full width at half maximum (FWHM). We compared the performance of NPSA to the conventional least squares analysis (LS), error in NPSA is approximately 50% lower than LS. The error in estimating the relative contributions of each nanoparticle using NPSA are in the range of 10-16% for equal ratios and 13-19% for unequal ratios for unmixing of 7 composite organic - inorganic nanoparticles (COINs) whereas the errors using the traditional least squares approach were in the range of 25-38% for equal ratios and 45-68% for unequal ratios. Here, we report for the first time, the quantitative unmixing of 7 nanoparticles with maximum RMS % error less than 20%.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor protein, p53, is either mutated or absent in >50% of cancers and is negatively regulated by the mouse double minute (MDM2) protein. Understanding and inhibition of the MDM2-p53 interaction are, therefore, critical for developing novel chemotherapeutics, which are currently limited because of a lack of appropriate study tools. We present a nanosensing approach to investigate full-length MDM2 interactions with p53, thus providing an allosteric assay for identifying binding ligands. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active nanoparticles, functionalized with a p53 peptide mimic (peptide 12.1), display biologically specific aggregation following addition of MDM2. Nanoparticle assembly is competitively inhibited by the N-terminal MDM2-binding ligands peptide 12.1 and Nutlin-3. This study reports nanoparticle assembly through specific protein-peptide interactions that can be followed by SERS. We demonstrate solution-based MDM2 allosteric interaction studies that use the full-length protein.

Abstract
This perspective gives an overview of recent developments in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for biosensing. We focus this review on SERS papers published in the last 10 years and to specific applications of detecting biological analytes. Both intrinsic and extrinsic SERS biosensing schemes have been employed to detect and identify small molecules, nucleic acids, lipids, peptides, and proteins, as well as for in vivo and cellular sensing. Current SERS substrate technologies along with a series of advancements in surface chemistry, sample preparation, intrinsic/extrinsic signal transduction schemes, and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy are discussed. The progress covered herein shows great promise for widespread adoption of SERS biosensing.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful technique for detection and characterization because of its extremely high sensitivity and the rich structural information that it can offer. However, most SERS substrates are composed of Au, Ag, or Cu, and a lack of substrate generality has greatly limited the breadth of the use of SERS. Recently, we have devised a method by which SERS can be obtained from virtually any surface. Au nanoparticles are coated with ultrathin silica shells. The Au core provides Raman signal enhancement; the silica shell prevents the core from coming into direct contact with probe/analyte molecules or the surface over which these particles are spread (i.e., prevents the contamination of the chemical system under study). In the present review, we expand upon previous discussion of the enhancement mechanism; procedures for the synthesis and characterization of our nanoparticles; and applications in surface chemistry, electrochemistry, and inspection.

Abstract
This paper describes the development and preliminary testing of a competitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay for calcitriol, the 1,25-dihydroxy metabolite (1,25-(OH)(2)-D(3)) of vitamin D(3). Deficiencies in 1,25-(OH)(2)-D have been linked to renal disease, while elevations are linked to hypercalcemia. Thus, there has been a sharp increase in the clinical demand for measurements of this metabolite. The work herein extends the many attributes of SERS-based sandwich immunoassays that have been exploited extensively in the detection of large biolytes (e.g., DNA, proteins, viruses, and microorganisms) into a competitive immunoassay for the low level determination of a small biolyte, 1,25-(OH)(2)-D(3) (M(w) = 416 g mol(-1)). The assay uses surface modified gold nanoparticles as SERS labels, and has a dynamic range of 10-200 pg mL(-1) and a limit of detection of 8.4 ± 1.8 pg mL(-1). These analytical performance metrics match those of tests for 1,25-(OH)(2)-D(3) that rely on radio- or enzyme-labels, while using a much smaller sample volume and eliminating the disposal of radioactive wastes. Moreover, the SERS-based data from pooled-patient sera show strong agreement with that from radioimmunoassays. The merits and potential utility of this new assay are briefly discussed.
