Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Diagnostics
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Cancer classification relies on DNA mutation profiling for precision medicine.
  • Conventional PCR assays require extensive labor for target amplification.
  • There is a need for rapid, amplification-free methods for detecting multiple mutations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an amplification-free Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) biochip for direct, simultaneous identification of multiple point mutations in tumor cells.
  • To enable rapid, multiplex analysis for cancer classification.
  • To validate the SERS biochip for clinical point-of-care diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of an amplification-free SERS biochip integrated into a microfluidic chip.
  • Direct detection of cellular mutations via Raman fingerprints without pre-amplification.
  • Utilizing SERS spectra encoding and supervised learning for distinguishing mutation profiles.
  • Analysis of colorectal cancer, melanoma cell lines, and patient samples.

Main Results:

  • The SERS biochip achieved simultaneous identification of multiple point mutations.
  • Multiplex analysis was completed in a single step within 40 minutes.
  • The system demonstrated excellent classification levels in cell lines.
  • Clinical validation showed an accuracy exceeding 90% in classifying cancer patient samples.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SERS biochip offers a simple, rapid, and accurate method for cancer mutation profiling.
  • This amplification-free approach eliminates the labor-intensive PCR pre-amplification step.
  • The SERS biosensor shows significant promise as a clinical tool for point-of-care diagnosis in precision medicine.
