Extracellular vesicle PD-L1 (programmed death-1 ligand 1) is of greater value in tumor diagnosis, prognosis, and efficacy monitoring of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. However, soluble PD-L1 interferes with the accurate detection of extracellular vesicle (EV) PD-L1. Here, we developed a microfluidic ifferentiation method for the detection of xtracellular PD-L1, without the interference of soluble, by DNA omputation with ipid probes and PD-L1 ptamer as inputs (DECLA). For the developed DECLA method, a cholesterol-DNA probe was designed that efficiently embeds into the EV membrane, and an aptamer-based PD-L1 probe was used for PD-L1 recognition. Due to the stable secondary structure of the designed connector, only cobinding of cholesterol-DNA and PD-L1 affinity probe induced biotin-labeled connector activation, while soluble PD-L1 cannot hybridize. As a result, PD-L1 EVs can be efficiently captured by streptavidin-functioned herringbone chip and quantified by anti-CD63-induced fluorescence signal. The high specificity of dual-input DNA computation allied to the high sensitivity of microfluidic-based detection was suitable for distinguishing lung cancer patients from healthy donors, highlighting its potential translation to clinical diagnosis and therapy monitoring.
细胞外囊泡 PD-L1(程序性死亡配体 1)在肿瘤诊断、预后和抗 PD-1/PD-L1 免疫治疗疗效监测方面具有更大的价值。然而,可溶性 PD-L1 会干扰细胞外囊泡(EV)PD-L1 的准确检测。在这里,我们开发了一种基于 DNA 计算的微流控差异化方法,该方法通过脂质探针和 PD-L1 适体作为输入(DECLA),可以检测到无可溶性干扰的细胞外 PD-L1。对于开发的 DECLA 方法,设计了一种胆固醇-DNA 探针,可有效地嵌入 EV 膜中,并使用基于适配体的 PD-L1 探针进行 PD-L1 识别。由于设计的连接器具有稳定的二级结构,只有胆固醇-DNA 和 PD-L1 亲和探针的共结合才能诱导生物素标记的连接器激活,而可溶性 PD-L1 不能杂交。结果,PD-L1 EV 可以通过链霉亲和素功能化的人字形芯片有效地捕获,并通过抗 CD63 诱导的荧光信号进行定量。基于微流控的高灵敏度与双输入 DNA 计算的高特异性相结合,适用于区分肺癌患者和健康供体,突出了其在临床诊断和治疗监测中的潜在转化应用。
