Verdin A, Malherbe C, Eppe G. Designing SERS nanotags for profiling overexpressed surface markers on single cancer cells: A review. Talanta 2024; 276:126225. [PMID: 38749157 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
This review focuses on the chemical design and the use of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)-active nanotags for measuring surface markers that can be overexpressed at the surface of single cancer cells. Indeed, providing analytical tools with true single-cell measurements capabilities is capital, especially since cancer research is increasingly leaning toward single-cell analysis, either to guide treatment decisions or to understand complex tumor behaviour including the single-cell heterogeneity and the appearance of treatment resistance. Over the past two decades, SERS nanotags have triggered significant interest in the scientific community owing their advantages over fluorescent tags, mainly because SERS nanotags resist photobleaching and exhibit sharper signal bands, which reduces possible spectral overlap and enables the discrimination between the SERS signals and the autofluorescence background from the sample itself. The extensive efforts invested in harnessing SERS nanotags for biomedical purposes, particularly in cancer research, highlight their potential as the next generation of optical labels for single-cell studies. The review unfolds in two main parts. The first part focuses on the structure of SERS nanotags, detailing their chemical composition and the role of each building block of the tags. The second part explores applications in measuring overexpressed surface markers on single-cells. The latter encompasses studies using single nanotags, multiplexed measurements, quantitative information extraction, monitoring treatment responses, and integrating phenotype measurements with SERS nanotags on single cells isolated from complex biological matrices. This comprehensive review anticipates SERS nanotags to persist as a pivotal technology in advancing single-cell analytical methods, particularly in the context of cancer research and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Developing biomimetic nanoparticles without off-target side-effects remains a major challenge in spinal cord injury (SCI) immunotherapy. In this paper, we have conducted a drug carrier which is biocompatible macrophages-exocytosed exosome-biomimetic manganese (Mn)-iron prussian blue analogues (MPBs) for SCI immunotherapy. Exosome-sheathed MPBs (E-MPBs) exhibit promoted microglia accumulation, alleviation from H2O2-induced microenvironment and inhibition of apoptosis and inflammation in vitro. In addition, E-MPBs possessed significant tissue repair and neuroprotection in vivo. These properties endowed E-MPBs with great improvement in vivo in function recovery, resulting in anti-neuroinflammation activity and excellent biocompatibility in mice SCI model. As a promising treatment for efficient SCI immunotherapy, these results demonstrate the use of exosome-sheathed biomimetic nanoparticles exocytosed by anti-inflammation cells is feasible.

Abstract
Triple bonds, such as that formed between two carbon atoms (i.e., C≡C) or that formed between one carbon atom and one nitrogen atom (i.e., C≡N), afford unique chemical bonding and hence vibrational characteristics. As such, they are not only frequently used to construct molecules with tailored chemical and/or physical properties but also employed as vibrational probes to provide site-specific chemical and/or physical information at the molecular level. Herein, we offer our perspective on the emerging applications of various triple-bond vibrations in energy and biological sciences with a focus on C≡C and C≡N triple bonds.

Prussian blue (PB) modified gold nanoparticles as a SERS-based sensing platform for capturing and detection of pyrazinoic acid (POA). Talanta 2024; 266:125038. [PMID: 37574604 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
Pyrazinoic acid (POA) is a metabolite of the anti-tuberculosis drug pyrazinamide (PZA), and its detection can be used to assess the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cultures, as only sensitive strains of the bacteria can metabolize PZA into POA. Prussian blue is a well-known metal-organic framework compound widely used in various sensing platforms such as electrochemical, photochemical, and magnetic sensors. In this study, we present a novel sensing platform based on Prussian blue-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) designed to enhance the affinity of POA towards the sensing surface and to capture POA molecules from aqueous solutions. This SERS-based method allows for the selective enrichment of POA, which can be detected in both pure aqueous solution and in the presence of its pro-drug PZA. The limit of detection (LOD) for POA was estimated to be 1.08 μM in pure aqueous solution and 0.18 mM in the presence of PZA. Furthermore, the precision of the SERS method was verified by the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.34-12.02% for three parallel samples using different matrices, i.e. aqueous solution, spiked river water and spiked simulated saliva. The recoveries of the samples ranged from 92.65 to 118.51%. These all demonstrate the potential application of the proposed detection scheme in medical research.

Abstract
A sandwich-structured SERS biosensor has been constructed for simultaneous detection of multiple pathogenic bacteria, consisting of non-interfering SERS probes for bacterial labeling and ConA-functionalizd magnetic nanoparticles for bacteria extraction. A the preparation method of PP3 SERS probe with high Raman activity is reported for the first time. Since the PP3 SERS probe has a very strong Raman peak at 2081 cm-1 in the "Raman silent region," the mixed SERS probe formed with MP1 and DP2 can meet the needs of multiple foodborne pathogen detection. Significantly, S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa can be successfully extracted upon external magnetic field, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 1 CFU‧mL-1, lower than that of the congeneric detectors. This work paves a new way for the construction of a novel detector and absorbent for different bacteria in complex samples by using SERS probe.

Abstract
The rapid diagnosis and detection of respiratory bacteria at the early stage can effectively control the epidemic spread and bacterial infection. Here, we designed a rapid, ultrasensitive, and quantitative lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) strip for simultaneous detection of respiratory bacteria S. aureus and S. pneumoniae. In this assay, the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags were designed through combining magnetite Raman enhancement nanoparticle Fe3O4@Au/DTNB and recognition element 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA). Further, 4-MPBA could capture multiple bacteria in a complex environmental solution. Based on the strategies, Fe3O4@Au/DTNB-mediated magnetic enrichment and 4-MPBA-mediated universal capture capabilities improved the detection sensitivity, the limits of detection for S. aureus and S. pneumoniae were as low as 8 and 13 CFU mL-1, respectively, which were more sensitive than those of colloidal gold method. The Fe3O4@Au/DTNB/Au/4-MPBA-LFA also exhibited good reproducibility, excellent specificity, and high recovery rates in sputum samples, indicating its potential application in the detection of respiratory bacteria samples.

Abstract
Avoiding interference and realizing the precise detection of mycotoxins in complex food samples is still an urgent problem for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) analysis technology. Herein, a highly sensitive and specific aptasensor was developed for the anti-interference detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA). In this aptasensor, 4-[(Trimethylsilyl) ethynyl] aniline was employed as an anti-interference Raman reporter to prove a sharp Raman peak (1998 cm-1) in silent region, which could avoid the interference of food bio-molecules in 600-1800 cm-1. 4-TEAE and OTA-aptamer were assembled on Au NPs to serve as anti-interference SERS probes. Meanwhile, Fe3O4 NPs, linked with complementary aptamer (cApts), were applied as capture probes. The specific binding of OTA to aptamer hindered the complementary binding of aptamer and cApt, which inhibited the binding of SERS probes and capture probes. Hence, the Raman responses at 1998 cm-1 were negatively correlated with the OTA level. Under the optimum condition, the aptasensor presented a linear response for OTA detection in the range of 0.1-40 nM, with low detection limits of 30 pM. In addition, the aptasensor was successfully applied to quantify OTA in soybean, grape and milk samples. Accordingly, this anti-interference aptasensor could perform specific, sensitive and precise detection of OTA in real samples, and proved a reliable reference strategy for other small-molecules detection in food samples.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor driven by CRISPR/Cas12a was proposed for on-site nucleic acid detection. We tactfully modified single-strand DNA (ssDNA) with a target-responsive Prussian blue (PB) nanolabel to form a probe and fastened it in the microplate. Attributed to the specific base pairing and highly efficient trans-cleavage ability of the CRISPR/Cas12a effector, precise target DNA recognition and signal amplification can be achieved, respectively. In the presence of target DNA, trans-cleavage towards the probe was activated, leading to the release of a certain number of PB nanoparticles (NPs). Then, these free PB NPs would be removed. Under alkali treatment, the breakdown of the remaining PB NPs in the microplate was triggered, producing massive ferricyanide anions (Fe(CN)64-), which could exhibit a unique characteristic Raman peak that was located in the "biological Raman-silent region". By mixing the alkali-treated solution with the SERS substrate, Au@Ag core-shell NP, the concentration of the target DNA was finally exhibited as SERS signals with undisturbed background, which can be detected by a portable Raman spectrometer. Importantly, this strategy could display an ultralow detection limit of 224 aM for target DNA. Furthermore, by targeting cow milk as the adulterated ingredient in goat milk, the proposed biosensor was successfully applied to milk authenticity detection.
