Description

Circulating tumor cell detection method based on surface-enhanced Raman spectrum probe
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of spectroscopy, in particular to a circulating tumor cell detection method based on a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy probe.
Background
Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are trace tumor cells released from in situ tumors into blood, metastasized through the blood and colonized at other parts of the body to cause tumor metastasis, and play an important role in the process of metastasis of malignant tumors, thus being an important cause of death caused by malignant tumors. Research shows that the CTCs level of the body of a patient with breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and ovarian cancer has close relation with the progression-free survival period and the overall survival period, so that the early, simple and rapid detection of the CTCs is important for improving the prognosis of a tumor patient. However, it is reported that the minimum content of CTCs in patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, etc. is only 5cells/7.5ml, which is a low-concentration cell in blood, and therefore, the realization of detection of CTCs puts high demands on both sensitivity and specificity of the detection method.
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is based on the principle of Raman spectroscopy and utilizes the mechanisms of chemical enhancement and electromagnetic enhancement of noble metal nanoparticles such as gold/silver and the like to generate Raman light more than ordinary Raman lightSpectral intensity 102~1012Multiplied signal. SERS has the characteristics of narrow Raman spectrum peak, strong correspondence between peak position and corresponding chemical structure and rich spectrum peak information, and is ultrasensitive, so that the SERS can be used as an effective detection means for CTCs. However, since simple SERS techniques do not specifically recognize CTCs, they cannot be directly used for detection of CTCs in blood.
The surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS tags/probes) is based on the principle that the precious metal nanoparticles can enhance SERS signals, and the corresponding nanoparticles are modified according to research purposes, so that the problems of insufficient specificity, weak Raman signals of samples, nanoparticle agglomeration caused by the samples and the like in detection are solved. The basic structure of a SERS probe generally consists of four parts: 1. gold/silver nanoparticles, often called SERS substrates, still play a role in enhancing raman signals in SERS probes; 2. raman active substances such as p-mercaptobenzoic acid, rhodamine isothiocyanate, bipyridine and the like are used as signal sources in an indirect detection mode; 3. coating layers, such as biomolecules, high molecular polymers, liposomes, silicon and the like, mainly play a role in reducing nonspecific adsorption and enhancing the stability of nanoparticles; 4. targeting molecules, such as antibodies, aptamers, biomolecules, and the like. According to the structure, the noble metal nanoparticles are modified step by step, so that corresponding probes suitable for research purposes are constructed, and the requirements of specificity, sensitivity and the like in the CTCs detection process can be effectively met by means of the ultrasensitiveness of the SERS technology and the specificity provided by target molecules modified by the probes.
Generally, an epidermal growth factor antibody (anti-EpCAM antibody), a human growth factor antibody (anti-HER2antibody) and the like are generally adopted as targeting molecules for constructing the SERS probe, but the targeting molecules have certain binding capacity to various tumor cells, relatively wide targeting range and weak specificity.
At present, the related detection patents of the CTCs are mainly completed by methods of synthesizing corresponding magnetic materials, constructing separation devices (such as microfluidics, chips and the like), detecting kits of the CTCs biomarkers and the like. SERS has been published for CTCs detection as early as 2008 (Sha M Y, Xu H, Natan M J, et al. surface-enhanced Raman scattering tags for doped and halogenated cells in the presence of human white blood [ J ]. Journal of the American Chemical Society,2008,130(51):17214-17215.), and many researchers have devoted extensive research in this field in the following time due to the inherent ultra-high sensitivity of SERS technology, coupled with the specificity provided by SERS probes. The domestic application of SERS probe technology to CTCs detection has few patents or other documents, and SERS probes using LHRH as targeting molecules are not reported, and the field still needs continuous research and progress to provide more clinical detection means.
