Abstract

Cancer diagnostics often faces challenges, such as invasiveness, high costs, and limited sensitivity for early detection, emphasizing the need for improved approaches. We present a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based platform leveraging inverted pyramid SU-8 nanostructured substrates fabricated via nanoimprint lithography. These substrates, characterized by sharp apices and edges, are further functionalized with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), enabling the uniform self-assembly of AuNPs to create a highly favorable configuration for enhanced SERS analysis. Performance testing of the substrates using malachite green (MG) as a model analyte demonstrated excellent detection capabilities, achieving a limit of detection as low as 10 M. Building on these results, the SERS platform was adapted for the sensitive and specific detection of hyaluronic acid (HA), a key biomarker associated with inflammation and cancer progression. The system employs a sandwich immunoassay configuration, with substrates functionalized with antibodies to capture HA molecules and 4-MBA-labeled SERS tags for detection. This setup achieved an ultra-sensitive detection limit of 10 g/mL for HA. Comprehensive characterization confirmed the uniformity and reproducibility of the SERS substrates, while validation in complex biological matrices demonstrated their robustness and reliability, highlighting their potential in cancer diagnostics and biomarker detection.

摘要

癌症诊断常常面临挑战,如具有侵入性、成本高昂以及早期检测灵敏度有限等,这凸显了改进方法的必要性。我们展示了一种基于表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)的平台,该平台利用通过纳米压印光刻制造的倒金字塔形SU-8纳米结构基板。这些基板具有尖锐的顶点和边缘,进一步用(3-氨丙基)三乙氧基硅烷(APTES)进行功能化,使金纳米颗粒能够均匀自组装,从而形成高度有利于增强SERS分析的配置。使用孔雀石绿(MG)作为模型分析物对基板进行性能测试,结果表明其具有出色的检测能力,检测限低至10 M。基于这些结果,该SERS平台被用于对透明质酸(HA)进行灵敏且特异的检测,透明质酸是一种与炎症和癌症进展相关的关键生物标志物。该系统采用夹心免疫分析配置,基板用抗体进行功能化以捕获HA分子,并使用4-MBA标记的SERS标签进行检测。此设置对HA实现了10 g/mL的超灵敏检测限。全面的表征证实了SERS基板的均匀性和可重复性,而在复杂生物基质中的验证表明了它们的稳健性和可靠性,突出了它们在癌症诊断和生物标志物检测中的潜力。
