研究目的
Investigating the utility of exosomes for the early detection of pancreatic cancer using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and principal component differential function analysis (PC-DFA).
研究成果
The study demonstrates that SERS combined with PC-DFA can differentiate exosomes from pancreatic cancer and normal cell lines with high accuracy. The method also shows promise for early detection of pancreatic cancer using serum-derived exosomes, with predictive accuracies up to 90%.
研究不足
The primary limitation is the weak Raman scattering efficiency, which was mitigated by using noble metal nanoparticles for signal enhancement. The study also notes the challenge of differentiating exosomes from diverse origins in patient serum.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Exosomes were isolated from cell culture supernatants and serum samples using density gradient ultracentrifugation. SERS was used for label-free analysis of exosomes. PC-DFA was applied for data analysis.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Exosomes were purified from pancreatic cancer cell lines (CD18/HPAF and MiaPaCa) and a normal pancreatic epithelial cell line (HPDE), as well as from serum samples of healthy controls and early-stage pancreatic cancer patients.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
NanoSight LM10 Nanoparticle Analysis System, Tecnai G2 Spirit transmission electron microscope, MultiMode AFM NanoScope IV system, Renishaw InVia Reflection microscope with 785-nm diode laser excitation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Exosome isolation, characterization by TEM, AFM, and NTA, SERS measurement, and data analysis using PC-DFA.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Principal component analysis (PCA) followed by discriminant function analysis (DFA) for classification of SERS spectra.
