摘要
Exosomes, carrying specific molecular information of their parent cells, have been regarded as a kind of promising noninvasive biomarker for liquid biopsy. Plentiful fluorescence methods have been proposed for exosome assay. However, most of them are dependent on nucleic acid signal amplification strategies, which require complicated sequence design and experimental operation. Herein, a metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) biochip based on shell-isolated Au@MnO2 nanoparticle array was designed for simple and sensitive assay of exosomes. The designed method consists of only two parts: signal conversion and MEF amplification. The conversion of exosome signals to DNA signals was realized by means of chain displacement reaction. The subtle conversion effectively averts the effect of steric hindrance on MEF while amplifying the signal easily for the first time. The MEF biochip based on shell-isolated Au@MnO2 nanoparticle array achieves a second signal amplification in a simple way. Profiting from the two signal amplifications, this strategy displays high sensitivity toward exosomes with a detection limit of 4.5 × 103 particles μL-1. Compared with the result without MEF, the sensitivity is enhanced about thirty times. As far as we know, this is the first attempt for exosome assay by using MEF strategy. In addition to the favorable fluorescence enhancement, both shell-isolated Au@MnO2 nanoparticles and Au@MnO2 nanoparticle array show excellent stability in buffer solutions, which is conducive to practical application. Moreover, the proposed method is able to distinguish breast cancer patients from healthy people, showing its potential for exosome-based liquid biopsy.
