Efficacy of blood plasma spectroscopy for early liver cancer diagnostics in obese patients. Ann Hepatol 2024; 29:101519. [PMID: 38866366 DOI: 10.1016/j.aohep.2024.101519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents one of the most common cancers worldwide. A considerable proportion of HCC is caused by cirrhosis related to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Due to the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome, it is estimated that MASH-related HCC will become the most prevalent etiology of HCC. Currently, HCC screening is based on liver ultrasonography; however, the sensitivity of ultrasonography for early HCC stages in obese patients only reaches 23 %. To date, no studied biomarker shows sufficient efficacy for screening purposes. Nevertheless, the usage of spectroscopic methods offers a new perspective, as its potential use would provide cheap, fast analysis of samples such as blood plasma. MATERIAL AND METHODS We employed a combination of conventional and chiroptical spectroscopic methods to study differences between the blood plasma of obese cirrhotic patients with and without HCC. We included 20 subjects with HCC and 17 without evidence of liver cancer, all of them with body mass index ≥ 30. RESULTS Sensitivities and specificities reached values as follows: 0.780 and 0.905 for infrared spectroscopy, 0.700 and 0.767 for Raman spectroscopy, 0.840 and 0.743 for electronic circular dichroism, and 0.805 and 0.923 for Raman optical activity. The final combined classification model based on all spectroscopic methods reached a sensitivity of 0.810 and a specificity of 0.857, with the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve among all models (0.961). CONCLUSIONS We suggest that this approach can be used effectively as a diagnostic tool in patients who are not examinable by liver ultrasonography. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04221347.

Abstract
In order to realize the accurate and early diagnosis of liver fibrosis, a long slow pathological process which may lead to cirrhosis or even liver cancer, liver targeting tags made up of gold nanostars and glycyrrhetinic acid are reported in this paper. Gold nanostars (GNSs) and GNS liver targeting tags (GLTTs) were injected into model mice with stage S1 liver fibrosis and normal mice via the tail vein respectively, then the SERS spectra were collected. GLTTs had a better detection effect on liver tissue than unmodified GNSs (12.85 times), and better detection reproducibility as well. Moreover, according to the MTT and survival analysis experiments, GLTTs also had better biocompatibility. Hence, the changes of 10 SERS signals and other substances in the early stage of liver fibrosis were analyzed at the molecular level, and the SERS characteristic peaks that could be used for the diagnosis of early liver fibrosis were screened out. Revealed by the experimental results, the GLTTs designed and prepared were applicable to the efficient SERS detection of early liver fibrosis in mice, and the strategy we have proposed might be a potential approach for the early diagnosis of this disease in clinics.

Abstract
A sensitive CD44-biosensor based on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was proposed for evaluating metastatic potential of breast cancer cells by using hyaluronan (HA) functionalized substrate film, polydopamine and polyethyleneimine composite film, for the purpose of capturing CD44-positive cancer cells through specific binding of HA to CD44. Two differently CD44-expressed breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 cells and MCF-7 cells) were put to use as targets for quantitative analysis as well as evaluation of metastatic potential of the cells. The limit of detection for MDA-MB-231 (M231) cells and MCF-7 cells were 300 and 1,000cellsmL-1, respectively. The expression level of CD44 on M231 cells exhibited two times higher than that of MCF-7 cells, indicating of a higher metastatic potential. Moreover, poly-L-lysine modified QCM sensor was applied to monitor the stiffness of breast cancer cells that can reflect metastatic potential of cells. The results revealed that the MCF-7 cells were stiffer than M231 cells, implying that the M231 cells possessed higher metastatic potential. The proposed protocol is simple and rapid to evaluate the metastatic potential of cancer cells, in addition to offering a promising diagnostic tool for metastatic cancer.
