In diagnosing prostate cancer and distinguishing it from other prostate diseases, the ratio of the concentration of free prostate-specific antigen (f-PSA) to total prostate-specific antigen (t-PSA), i.e., (f-PSA%) is more accurate than the concentration of t-PSA alone. Immunoassay based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) frequency shift has been proven to be particularly suitable for detecting large biomolecules with high reproducibility. Along similar lines, the present study developed a SERS-based biosensor that simultaneously detects t-PSA and f-PSA. The 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) on the immunocapture substrate is coupled to the t-PSA antibody through the carboxyl group, and the combination of t-PSA induces the Raman frequency shifts of MBA. The immunocolloidal gold attached with f-PSA antibodies selectively capture the f-PSA that immobilized on the MBA-modified SERS substrates, allowing for f-PSA quantification according to the SERS intensities of the 5, 5'-Dithiobis (succinimidyl-2-nitrobenzoate) (DSNB) probe. The results show that f-PSA and t-PSA have good linear response in the concentration scale of 0.1-20 ng/mL, and 1-200 ng/mL, respectively. The biosensor combines Raman frequency shifts and intensities, which greatly simplifies traditional procedures for f-PSA% detection. All the results demonstrated the great potential of the proposed biosensor in highly reproducible and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancers.
在诊断前列腺癌并将其与其他前列腺疾病区分开来时,游离前列腺特异性抗原(f-PSA)与总前列腺特异性抗原(t-PSA)的浓度比,即(f-PSA%)比单独的 t-PSA 浓度更准确。基于表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)频移的免疫测定已被证明特别适合于具有高重现性的检测大生物分子。类似地,本研究开发了一种基于 SERS 的生物传感器,该传感器同时检测 t-PSA 和 f-PSA。免疫捕获底物上的 4-巯基苯甲酸(MBA)通过羧基与 t-PSA 抗体偶联,t-PSA 的结合诱导 MBA 的拉曼频移。与 f-PSA 抗体结合的免疫胶体金选择性地捕获固定在 MBA 修饰的 SERS 底物上的 f-PSA,允许根据 5,5'-二硫代双(琥珀酰亚胺基-2-硝基苯甲酸)(DSNB)探针的 SERS 强度对 f-PSA 进行定量。结果表明,f-PSA 和 t-PSA 在 0.1-20ng/mL 和 1-200ng/mL 的浓度范围内具有良好的线性响应。该生物传感器结合了拉曼频移和强度,大大简化了传统的 f-PSA%检测程序。所有结果都表明,该生物传感器在前列腺癌的高重现性和准确诊断方面具有巨大的潜力。
