Tumor-derived exosomes play a vital role in the process of cancer development. Quantitative analysis of exosomes and exosome-shuttled proteins would be of immense value in understanding cancer progression and generating reliable predictive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Recent studies have indicated the critical role of exosomal programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in immune checkpoint therapy and its application as a patient stratification biomarker in cancer immunotherapy. Here, we present a nanoplasmonic exosome immunoassay utilizing gold-silver (Au@Ag) core-shell nanobipyramids and gold nanorods, which form sandwich immune complexes with target exosomes. The immunoassay generates a distinct plasmonic signal pattern unique to exosomes with specific exosomal PD-L1 expression, allowing rapid, highly sensitive exosome detection and accurate identification of PD-L1 exosome subtypes in a single assay. The developed nanoplasmonic sandwich immunoassay provides a novel and viable approach for tumor cell-derived exosome detection and analysis with quantitative molecular details of key exosomal proteins, manifesting its great potential as a transformative diagnostic tool for early cancer detection, prognosis, and post-treatment monitoring.
肿瘤来源的外泌体在癌症发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。对外泌体和外泌体转运蛋白进行定量分析,对于理解癌症进展和生成可靠的癌症诊断和治疗预测性生物标志物具有重要意义。最近的研究表明,外泌体程序性死亡配体 1(PD-L1)在免疫检查点治疗中的关键作用及其作为癌症免疫治疗中患者分层生物标志物的应用。在这里,我们提出了一种利用金-银(Au@Ag)核壳纳米双锥体和金纳米棒的纳米等离子体外泌体免疫分析方法,该方法与靶向外泌体形成三明治免疫复合物。免疫分析产生了一种独特的等离子体信号模式,这种模式是特定外泌体 PD-L1 表达所特有的,允许快速、高度敏感的外泌体检测,并在单次分析中准确识别 PD-L1 外泌体亚型。所开发的纳米等离子体三明治免疫分析为肿瘤细胞衍生的外泌体检测和分析提供了一种新颖且可行的方法,具有关键外泌体蛋白的定量分子细节,显示出其作为早期癌症检测、预后和治疗后监测的变革性诊断工具的巨大潜力。
