研究目的
To develop an integrated system for both qualitative location and quantitative detection of cancer cells using DNA-templated silver nanoclusters as dual signal probes.
研究成果
The integrated system successfully enables noninvasive fluorescence imaging and amplified electrochemical detection of cancer cells with high sensitivity (detection limit of 3 cells) and specificity. It provides a biocompatible and effective method for cancer cell analysis, with potential for future applications in clinical settings, though improvements in specificity are needed.
研究不足
The response signal may be disturbed by the coexistence of target MCF-7 cells and non-target NCL-positive cancer cells. The system is a proof-of-principle and may require more specific aptamers for broader applicability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study integrates fluorescence imaging and electrochemical biosensing using DNA-AgNCs as dual-signal probes. ITO electrodes are used as substrates due to their light transmittance and conductivity. A sandwich-like structure is formed with AS1411 aptamer for cell capture and anti-MUC1 antibody conjugated with DNA-AgNCs for labeling.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
MCF-7 breast cancer cells are used as the model, with control cells including HepG2, MDA-MB-231, and L-02. Cells are cultured in DMEM or RPMI-1640 medium.
3:Cells are cultured in DMEM or RPMI-1640 medium. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Includes ITO electrodes, oligonucleotides (e.g., SH-DNA, AS1411), chemicals (e.g., AgNO3, NaBH4), antibodies (anti-MUC1), cells (MCF-7, HepG2, etc.), and equipment like confocal microscope (LSM 710, Zeiss), electrochemical workstation (CHI-660C), and ultrafiltration centrifuge tubes.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Steps involve preparation of DNA-AgNCs, functionalization of ITO electrodes with AS1411 aptamer, cell capture, labeling with CADA (composite of anti-MUC1 and DNA-AgNCs), fluorescence imaging using confocal microscopy, and electrochemical detection using linear sweep voltammetry.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fluorescence intensity is analyzed with ImageJ software; electrochemical data is processed using the CHI-660C workstation; cell viability is assessed via MTT assay and UV-vis spectrometry.
