Integrating Cycled Enzymatic DNA Amplification and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering for Sensitive Detection of Circulating Tumor DNA.

ABSTRACT: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) represents an emerging biomarker of liquid biopsies for the development of precision cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. However, sensitive detection of ctDNA remains challenging, due to their short half-life and low concentrations in blood samples. In this study, we report a new method to address this challenge by integrating cycled enzymatic DNA amplification technique and Au nanoparticle@silicon-assisted surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique. We have demonstrated a reproducible identification of a single-base-mutated ctDNA sequence of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), with the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 9.1 fM in the spiked blood samples. This approach can be used to analyze trace amounts of ctDNA in translational medicine for early diagnosis, therapeutic effect monitoring, and prognosis of patients with cancer.

Quantitative and Sensitive Detection of Chloramphenicol by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering.

Project description:We used surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for the quantitative and sensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP). Using 30 nm colloidal Au nanoparticles (NPs), a low detection limit for CAP of 10-8 M was obtained. The characteristic Raman peak of CAP centered at 1344 cm-1 was used for the rapid quantitative detection of CAP in three different types of CAP eye drops, and the accuracy of the measurement result was verified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The experimental results reveal that the SERS technique based on colloidal Au NPs is accurate and sensitive, and can be used for the rapid detection of various antibiotics.

Fiber-Enhanced Stimulated Raman Scattering and Sensitive Detection of Dilute Solutions.

Project description:Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is known to gain coherent amplification of molecular vibrations that allow for rapid and label-free chemical imaging in the microscopy setting. However, the tightly focused laser spot has limited the detection sensitivity, partly due to the tiny interaction volume. Here, we report the use of metal-lined hollow-core fiber (MLHCF) to improve the sensitivity of SRS in sensing dilute solutions by extending the light-matter interaction volume through the fiber waveguide. With a focusing lens (100 mm FL) and 320 μm diameter fiber, we demonstrated an optimum enhancement factor of ~20 at a fiber length of 8.3 cm. More importantly, the MLHCF exhibited a significantly suppressed cross-phase modulation (XPM) background, enabling the detection of ~0.7 mM DMSO in water. Furthermore, the relationship between fiber length and SRS signal could be well explained theoretically. The fiber-enhanced SRS (FE-SRS) method may be further optimized and bears potential in the sensitive detection of molecules in the solution and gas phases.

Quasi-Metal for Highly Sensitive and Stable Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering.

Project description:Compared with the noble-metal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates activated by the surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-induced electromagnetic mechanism (EM), the relative low sensitivity and stability of the chemical mechanism (CM)-based substrates are the biggest obstacles to their applications. Herein, we report that quasi-metallic VO2 nanosheet arrays can be used as a sensitive and stable SERS substrate. The lowest detectable limit of analyte adsorbed on the VO2 nanosheets achieves 10-10 M and the maximum Raman enhancement factor (EF) reaches 6.7 × 107, which is comparable with that of the noble metals. The experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the SERS performance of the VO2 nanosheets comes from the strong interfacial interactions based on charge transfer and the vigorous SPR effects. Our research results demonstrate that quasi-metals are very promising SERS detection platforms and reveal that CM, like EM, contributes significantly to the SERS activity of quasi-metals.

Quantizing single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering with DNA origami metamolecules.

Project description:Tailored metal nanoclusters have been actively developed to manipulate light at the subwavelength scale for nanophotonic applications. Nevertheless, precise arrangement of molecules in a hot spot with fixed numbers and positions remains challenging. Here, we show that DNA origami metamolecules with Fano resonances (DMFR) can precisely localize single dye molecules and produce quantified surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) responses. To enable tailored plasmonic permutations, we develop a general and programmable method for anchoring a set of large gold nanoparticles (L-AuNPs) on prescribed n-tuple docking sites of super-origami DNA frameworks. A tetrameric nanocluster with four spatially organized 80-nm L-AuNPs exhibits peak-and-dip Fano characteristics. The drastic enhancement at the wavelength of the Fano minimum allows the collection of prominent SERS spectrum for even a single dye molecule. We expect that DMFR provides physical insights into single-molecule SERS and opens new opportunities for developing plasmonic nanodevices for ultrasensitive sensing, nanocircuits, and nanophotonic lasers.

Amplification of surface-enhanced Raman scattering by the oxidation of capping agents on gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a powerful analytical method, and is especially useful for the detection of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing organic substances in trace amounts. SERS substrates with high enhancement factors can be produced via the aggregation of gold nanoparticles, leading to the formation of 'hot spots' - regions of highest electric field intensity and Raman scattering enhancement. Thus, the availability of gold surfaces in 'hot spots' for the adsorption of analyte molecules strongly influences the enhancement factor of a substrate. We studied the kinetics of oxidation of dyes with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles and discovered the amplification of surface-enhanced Raman scattering, probably due to the oxidation of citrate ligands and the additional adsorption of dye molecules onto vacant spots on the gold surface. Maximum amplification was observed with 3% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide in the reaction medium. Under optimized conditions, model analytes can be detected at concentrations as low as 1 × 10-9 M, which is ten times lower than the detection limit without hydrogen peroxide addition.

Ag@Au core-shell dendrites: a stable, reusable and sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate.

Project description:Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on fabricated Ag@Au core-shell dendrite was achieved. Ag dendrites were grown on Si wafer by the hydrothermal corrosion method and Au nanofilm on the surface of Ag dendritic nanostructure was then fabricated by chemical reduction. With the help of sodium borohydride in water, Au surface absorbates such as thiophene, adenine, rhodamine, small anions (Br(-) and I(-)), and a polymer (PVP, poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)) can be completely and rapidly removed. After four repeatable experiments, the substrate SERS function did not decrease at all, indicating that the Ag@Au dendrite should be of great significance to SERS application because it can save much resource. Six-month-duration stability tests showed that the Ag@Au core-shell dendrite substrate is much more stable than the Ag dendrite substrates. We have also experimented on fast detection of Cd(2+) at 10(-8) M concentration by decorating single-stranded DNA containing adenine and guanine bases on the surface of this Ag@Au dendrite. Finite-difference time-domain simulations were carried out to investigate the influence of Au nanolayer on Ag dendrites, which showed that the local electric fields and enhancement factor are hardly affected when a 4 nm Au nanolayer is coated on Ag dendrite surface.

Detection of circulating tumor cells in human peripheral blood using surface-enhanced Raman scattering nanoparticles.

Project description:The detection and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTC) holds great promise for personalizing medicine and optimizing systemic therapy. However, low specificity, low sensitivity, and the time consuming nature of current approaches have impeded clinical adoption. Here we report a new method using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to directly measure targeted CTCs in the presence of white blood cells. SERS nanoparticles with epidermal growth factor peptide as a targeting ligand have successfully identified CTCs in the peripheral blood of 19 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), with a range of 1 to 720 CTCs per milliliter of whole blood. Our technique may provide an important new clinical tool for management of patients with SCCHN and other cancers.

Integrated plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering (iPERS) spectroscopy.

Project description:A new strategy named integrated plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering (iPERS) spectroscopy that features a configuration of evanescent field excitation and inverted collection is presented, which well unites the local field enhancement and far field emission, couples localized and propagating surface plasmons, integrates the SERS substrates and Raman spectrometers via a self-designed aplanatic solid immersion lens. A metallic nanoparticle-on-a film (NOF) system was adopted in this configuration because it improves the amplification of the incidence light field in near field by 10 orders of magnitude due to the simultaneous excitation of quadrupolar and dipolar resonance modes. This iPERS allows for higher excitation efficiency to probed molecules and full collection of the directional-radiation Raman scattering signal in an inverted way, which exhibits a practical possibility to monitor plasmonic photocatalytic reactions in nanoscale and a bright future on interfacial reaction studies.

Novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based assays for ultra-sensitive detection of human pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a promising cell source for regenerative medicine, but their derivatives need to be rigorously evaluated for residual stem cells to prevent teratoma formation. Here, we report the development of novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based assays that can detect trace numbers of undifferentiated hPSCs in mixed cell populations in a highly specific, ultra-sensitive, and time-efficient manner. By targeting stem cell surface markers SSEA-5 and TRA-1-60 individually or simultaneously, these SERS assays were able to identify as few as 1 stem cell in 10(6) cells, a sensitivity (0.0001%) which was ∼2000 to 15,000-fold higher than that of flow cytometry assays. Using the SERS assay, we demonstrate that the aggregation of hPSC-based cardiomyocyte differentiation cultures into 3D spheres significantly reduced SSEA-5(+) and TRA-1-60(+) cells compared with parallel 2D cultures. Thus, SERS may provide a powerful new technology for quality control of hPSC-derived products for preclinical and clinical applications.
