新型自供能细胞传感平台构建及循环肿瘤细胞检测研究

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood play crucial roles in cancer metastasis process, therefore, there is an urgent need to develop ultrasensitive testing approachs, even at the single-cell level, for early cancer diagnosis and treatment. Self-powered biosensors have the merits of needing no external power sources, simple fabrication process and strong anti-interference ability, making them promising candidates for CTCs detection in human disease diagnosis. The core technique of self-powered biosensors is the fabrication of the high-performance enzymic biofuel cell (EBFC). Meanwhile, DNA amplification techniques have been widly used for improving the sensitivity of the biosensors. Thus, this project is proposed to develop a novel self-powered cytosensing strategy for the detection of CTCs in peripheral blood based on dual-signal amplification of high-performance EBFC and DNA amplification techniques. A new self-powered cytosensing platform will be built in order to realize simple, fast, highly selective and ultrasensitive detection of CTCs. Furthermore, this cytosensor does not need external voltage, which efficiently eliminates the non-specific redox of the electro-active interferences, improves the anti-fouling ability of the cytosensor, and facilitates the detection of CTCs in peripheral blood samples. This project would provide some new methods and techniques for the early cancer diagnosis. Some innovative research results are also expected with the execution of the current project.
