Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are pivotal mediators in early tumorigenesis and metastatic dissemination. The detection of CTCs offers unparalleled advantages for early diagnosis and metastasis monitoring. NCI–H460 and NCI–H1650 cell lines serve as representative models for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and are critical biomarkers given that NSCLC accounts for over 85 % of lung cancer cases. Effective enrichment and precise identification of CTCs from whole blood are essential for early diagnostic applications. Herein, a microfluidic platform integrated with a dual-modal detection system, comprising photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing and fluorescence imaging, was fabricated for the enrichment and quantification of CTCs (NCI–H460 and NCI–H1650 cells). The Hcy-Thiol probe-labeled CTCs in whole blood were separated by a microfluidic chip, and then a cathodic photoelectrochemical sensing system based on different aptamer-modified CuInS<sub>2</sub> nanoflowers was used to selectively capture CTCs and provide photocurrent signals, thus achieving fluorescence/photoelectrochemical dual-mode detection. Under the optimized conditions, the separation efficiency and purity of CTCs were 83.4 % and 76.8 %, respectively. Quantitative analysis of spiked blood samples at 100 cells/mL yielded cell counts of 107 ± 5 NCI–H460 cells and 87 ± 4 NCI–H1650 cells via photocurrent responses, corroborated by fluorescence signals with counts of 110 ± 4 and 85 ± 3 cells/mL, respectively. This microfluidic integrated with PEC/fluorescence dual-modal sensing system exhibits promising potential for early NSCLC detection and metastasis evaluation with high specificity and sensitivity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":435,"journal":{"name":"Talanta","volume":"297 ","pages":"Article 128613"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144694764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a hydrogel-based 3D system, we cultured preadipocytes and adipocytes, incorporating macrophage co-culture to induce insulin resistance. Relative lipid quantification was achieved using D<sub>2</sub>O labeling for global omics relative quantification (DOLGOReQ). This method enabled the quantification of hundreds of lipids across major categories, including glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, fatty acyls, and sphingolipids, while also revealing cell-type-specific D-labeling efficiencies. DOLGOReQ analysis revealed that macrophage co-culture significantly reduced long-chain free fatty acids and triacylglycerols (TGs). Quantitative correlation analysis between TGs and free fatty acids indicated that the macrophage-mediated TG reduction stemmed from decreased free fatty acid availability, the precursors for lipid synthesis. Furthermore, macrophages increased D-labeling efficiency, suggesting enhanced lipolysis contributing to TG reduction.

In response to the urgent demand for effective DOX detection, we have developed a label-free fluorescent aptamer biosensor (FAB) that employs SYBR Green I (SG I)-mediated signal amplification. A key innovation in this design is the strategic fragmentation of the 41-mer complementary strand (CP) of the DOX aptamer into three 11-mer fragments. It significantly mitigates nonspecific SG I binding interference caused by the longer ssDNA CP, enhancing the fluorescence signal ratio (F<sub>dsDNA</sub>/F<sub>ssDNA</sub>) from 4.6-fold to 12.6-fold. Upon DOX introduction, competitive binding between DOX, SG I, and DNA further suppresses background noise, yielding an exceptional fluorescence quenching ratio (F<sub>0</sub>/F) of 52.8. The optimized FAB demonstrates ultra-sensitive DOX detection, with a detection limit of 1.41 nM and a linear response between 1.41 nM and 300 nM. The recoveries of DOX spiked into pond water and drinking water samples ranged from 95.1 % to 101.8 %, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 3.46 %, demonstrating negligible matrix effects and confirming the FAB method's robustness for environmental monitoring applications.
