Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Spectroscopy
  • Biomedical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Cardiovascular diseases are a major global health concern, necessitating advanced diagnostic tools.
  • Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a critical biomarker for cardiovascular conditions, but its detection requires sensitive methods.
  • Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy shows promise for biomarker detection, yet its application for Gal-3 is unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel plasmonic and magneto-plasmonic nanoplatforms for sensitive immunodetection of Gal-3 using SERS.
  • To establish SERS methodology for Gal-3 detection, a biomarker previously unaddressed by this technique.
  • To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and potential clinical applicability of the developed nanoplatforms.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis and functionalization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with specific ligands for antibody conjugation.
  • Development of SERS-based immunosensors for Gal-3 detection in buffer solutions.
  • Creation of magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles for enhanced Gal-3 uptake and SERS detection coupled with Raman imaging.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 12.2 ng mL⁻¹ for Gal-3 with a working range up to 120 ng mL⁻¹.
  • Demonstrated high selectivity for Gal-3 in the presence of other common biomolecules.
  • Successfully developed and tested magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles for improved Gal-3 detection via SERS and Raman imaging.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SERS-based nanoplatforms enable sensitive and specific immunodetection of Gal-3.
  • This approach holds significant potential for improving the diagnosis and surveillance of cardiovascular diseases.
  • Further optimization and clinical translation of these nanoplatforms are warranted for real-world applications.
