Area of Science:

  • Biomarker Discovery
  • Materials Science
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising non-invasive cancer biomarkers.
  • Current miRNA extraction methods are often non-standardized, costly, and labor-intensive.
  • There is a need for efficient and accessible miRNA isolation techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, standardized solid-phase extraction strategy for circulating miRNAs.
  • To optimize surface properties for selective miRNA binding and elution.
  • To establish a cost-effective and user-friendly method for miRNA purification.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication and functionalization of silicon oxide surfaces (PECVD-SO, TG-SO) with varying ratios of APTES and PEG-s.
  • Surface characterization using AFM, XPS, and s-SDTB assay.
  • Assessment of miRNA adsorption/elution efficiency using fluorescently labeled synthetic miRNAs and fluorescence microscopy.
  • Validation of miRNA integrity and purity using RT-qPCR and Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.

Main Results:

  • Optimized PECVD-SO surfaces (0.1% APTES, 0.9% PEG-s) demonstrated selective miRNA binding and efficient elution in a basic buffer (pH 9).
  • The method confirmed miRNA integrity and excluded interference from circulating DNA and proteins.
  • The developed method showed potential for routine diagnostic and prognostic assays.

Conclusions:

  • An innovative and straightforward solid-state purification method for circulating miRNAs based on charge interaction was demonstrated.
  • This technique offers a standardized and potentially cost-effective alternative to existing methods.
  • The developed method could facilitate the routine use of circulating miRNAs in cancer diagnostics.
