Label-free fluorescent sensor for sensitive detection of ctDNA based on water stabilized CsPbBr3 nanosheet
BIOSENSORS & BIOELECTRONICS(2024)
Abstract
The detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), as a practical liquid biopsy technique, was of great significance for the study of cancer diagnosis and prognosis. However, reported methods for detection ctDNA still have some limitations, such as tedious process and high cost. In this study, CsPbBr3 nanosheet (CsPbBr3 NS) with high water stability was prepared by etching, and its fluorescence intensity could be stably stored for 1 year. The Ti3C2Tx possessed high quenching efficiency for CsPbBr3 NS and the HOMO-LUMO orbital study revealed that the PET mechanism was responsible for fluorescence quenching. And the Ti3C2Tx showed stronger affinity towards singlestranded DNA (ssDNA), as compared with double -stranded DNA (dsDNA). The probe ssDNA could be adsorbed on the surface of Ti3C2Tx through pi-pi stacking. After the targets were recognized by probe ssDNA to form dsDNA, its affinity with Ti3C2Tx decreased and the active site of Ti3C2Tx recovered, causing a high quenching efficiency on CsPbBr3 NS. Based on this, a label-free fluorescent biosensor was designed for the sensitive detection of ctDNA (EGFR 19 Dels for non -small cell lung cancer, NSCLC). Under the optimal experimental conditions, this biosensor exhibited a detection limit of 180 fM and a linear range of 50 pM-350 pM with amplification of magnetic beads through strand displacement reaction. In addition, this sensor was applied to the detection of ctDNA in serum samples and cells lysates. This method for ctDNA detection was expected to have great potential for biomarker detection in the field of liquid biopsy.
