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
The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique, that uses magnetic plasmonic particles (MPPs), is an advanced SERS detection platform owing to the synergetic effects of the particles’ magnetic and plasmonic properties. As well as being an ultrasensitive and reliable SERS material, MPPs perform various functions, such as aiding in separation, drug delivery, and acting as a therapeutic material. This literature discusses the structure and multifunctionality of MPPs, which has enabled the novel application of MPPs to various biological fields.

Aptamer binding assays and molecular interaction studies using fluorescence anisotropy - A review. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1125:267-278.

Abstract
Binding of nucleic acid aptamers to specific targets and detection with fluorescence anisotropy (FA) or fluorescence polarization (FP) take advantage of the complementary features of aptamers and the fluorescence techniques. We review recent advances in affinity binding assays using aptamers and FA/FP, with an emphasis on studies of molecular interactions and identification of binding sites. Aptamers provide several benefits, including the ease of labelling fluorophores on specific sites, binding-induced changes in aptamer structures, hybridization of the aptamers to complementary sequences, changes in molecular volume upon binding of the aptamer to its target, and adsorption of aptamers onto nanomaterials. Some of these benefits have been utilized for FA/FP assays. Once the aptamer binds to its target, the resulting changes in molecular volume (size), structure, local rotation of the fluorophore, and/or the fluorescence lifetime influence changes to the FA/FP values. Measurements of these fluorescence anisotropy/polarization changes have provided insights into the molecular interactions, such as the binding affinity and the site of binding. Studies of molecular interactions conducted in homogeneous solutions, as well as those with separations, e.g., capillary electrophoresis, have been summarized in this review. Studies on mapping the position of binding in aptamers at the single nucleotide level have demonstrated a unique benefit of the FA/FP techniques and pointed to an exciting direction for future research.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) is a potential biomarker of tumor angiogenesis. For the first time, we developed a highly sensitive aptasensor for PDGF-BB with an enhanced test line signal by using two different gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Herein, we describe a highly sensitive biosensor for PDGF-BB detection that combines biotinylated aptamer on a sample pad and poly thymine-Cy3-AuNP-monoclonal antibody complexes against PDGF-BB immobilized on conjugate pad A. Streptavidin (SA) and rabbit anti-mouse polyclonal antibody were also immobilized in the nitrocellulose membrane at the test and control zones, respectively. When the target PDGF-BB protein was added, it first bound the aptamer, and later the monoclonal antibody to form a biotinylated complex that was captured by SA, resulting in a visual red line on the test zone. In addition, to enhance the sensitivity, another monoclonal antibody against Cy3 was conjugated on AuNP B and immobilized on conjugate pad B to form a AuNPs (A&B)-antibody-(PDGF-BB-Cy3)-aptamer-biotin-SA complex on the test line when a loading buffer was subsequently added. This approach showed a linear response to PDGF-BB from 3 ng mL−1 to 300 ng mL−1 with a limit of detection as low as 1 ng mL−1 obtained in 10 minutes. Our biosensor displayed results through red lines readable by the naked eye. Interestingly, our approach has been successfully applied for real sample verification, proving its applicability for cancer monitoring and diagnosis. Platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) is a potential biomarker of tumor angiogenesis.![]()

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB), a significant serum cytokine, is an important protein biomarker in diagnosis and recognition of cancer, which straightly rolled in proceeding of various cell transformations, including tumor growth and its development. Fibrosis, atherosclerosis are certain appalling diseases, which PDGF-BB is near to them. Generally, the expression amount of PDGF-BB increases in human life-threatening tumors serving as an indicator for tumor angiogenesis. Thus, identification and quantification of PDGF-BB in biomedical fields are particularly important. Affinity chromatography, immunohistochemical methods and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), conventional methods for PDGF-BB detection, requiring high-cost and complicated instrumentation, take too much time and offer deficient sensitivity and selectivity, which restrict their usage in real applications. Hence, it is essential to design and build enhanced systems and platforms for the recognition and quantification of protein biomarkers. In the past few years, biosensors especially aptasensors have been received noticeable attention for the detection of PDGF-BB owing to their high sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy, fast response, and low cost. Since the role and importance of developing aptasensors in cancer diagnosis is undeniable. In this review, optical and electrochemical aptasensors, which have been applied by many researchers for PDGF-BB cancer biomarker detection, have been mentioned and merits and demerits of them have been explained and compared. Efforts related to design and development of aptamer-based biosensors using nanoparticles for sensitive and selective detection of PDGF-BB have been reviewed considering: Aptamer importance as recognition elements, principal, application and the recent improvements and developments of aptamer based optical and electrochemical methods. In addition, commercial biosensors and future perspectives for rapid and on-site detection of PDGF-BB have been summarized.

Abstract
We describe a sensitive aptamer-based sandwich assay for protein detection on microplate by using rolling circle amplification (RCA) coupled with thrombin catalysis. This assay takes advantage of RCA generating long DNA oligonucleotides with repeat thrombin-binding aptamer sequence, specific aptamer affinity binding to achieve multiple thrombin labeling, and enzyme activity of thrombin for signal generation. Protein target is specifically captured by antibody-coated microplate. Then, an oligonucleotide containing an aptamer for protein and a primer sequence is added to form a typical sandwich structure. Following a template encoded with complementary sequence of aptamer for thrombin, RCA reaction extends the primer sequence into a long oligonucleotide. Many thrombin molecules bind with the RCA product. Thrombin catalyzes the conversion of its chromogenic or fluorogenic peptide substrates into detectable products for final quantification of protein targets. We applied this strategy to the detection of a model protein target, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). Due to double signal amplifications from RCA and thrombin catalysis, this assay enabled the detection of PDGF-BB as low as 3.1 pM when a fluorogenic peptide substrate was used. This assay provides a new way for signal generation in RCA-involved assay through direct thrombin labeling, circumventing time-consuming preparation of enzyme-conjugate and affinity probes. This method has promise for a variety of analytical applications.
