Abstract:
Accurate detection of multiple cardiovascular biomarkers is crucial for the timely screening of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and differential diagnosis from acute aortic syndrome (AAS). Herein, an antibody microarray-based metal-enhanced fluorescence assay (AMMEFA) has been developed to quantitatively detect 7 cardiovascular biomarkers through the formation of a sandwich immunoassay on the poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-decorated GNR-modified slide (GNR@P(GMA-HEMA) slide). The AMMEFA exhibits high specificity and sensitivity, the linear ranges span 5 orders of magnitude, and the limits of detection (LODs) of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), C-reactive protein (CRP), copeptin, myoglobin, D-Dimer, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) reach 0.07, 0.2, 65.7, 0.6, 0.2, 8.3, and 0.3 pg mL-1, respectively. To demonstrate its practicability, the AMMEFA has been applied to quantitatively analyze 7 cardiovascular biomarkers in 140 clinical plasma samples. In addition, the expression levels of cardiovascular biomarkers were analyzed by the least absolute shrinkage and selector operator (LASSO) regression, and the area under receiver operator characteristic curves (AUCs) of healthy donors (HDs), ACS patients, and AAS patients are 0.99, 0.98, and 0.97, respectively.
