Abstract
Spectroscopic studies increasingly employ Raman tags exhibiting a signal in the cell - silent region of the Raman spectrum (1800-2800 cm-1), where bands arising from biological molecules are inherently absent. Raman tags bearing functional groups which contain a triple bond, such as alkyne and nitrile or a carbon-deuterium bond, have a distinct vibrational frequency in this region. Due to the lack of spectral background and cell-associated bands in the specific area, the implementation of those tags can help overcome the inherently poor signal-to-noise ratio and presence of overlapping Raman bands in measurements of biological samples. The cell - silent Raman tags allow for bioorthogonal imaging of biomolecules with improved chemical contrast and they have found application in analyte detection and monitoring, biomarker profiling and live cell imaging. This review focuses on the potential of the cell - silent Raman region, reporting on the tags employed for biomedical applications using variants of Raman spectroscopy.

Zhou R, Chen X, Huang M, Chen H, Zhang L, Xu D, Wang D, Gao P, Wang B, Dai X. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics to assess the spectral markers of irradiated baijius and their potential application in irradiation dose control. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 302:123162. [PMID: 37478760 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Although some methods have been proposed for the identification of irradiated baijius, they are often costly, time-consuming, and destructive. It is also unclear what instrumentation can be used to fully characterize the quality changes in irradiated baijius. To address this issue, this study pioneers the use of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics to open up new avenues for characterizing irradiated baijius and their quality control. Principal component analysis, five spectral pre-processing methods (Savitzky-Golay smoothing (S-G), second-order derivative (SD), multiple scattering correction (MSC), S-G + SD and S-G + MSC), five wavelength selection methods (random forest variable importance (RFVI), two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS), variable importance in projection (VIP), ReliefF, and Venn), and three classification models (partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), random forest (RF), and grasshopper optimization algorithm-based support vector machine (GOA-SVM)) were integrated into the analytical framework of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, aiming to accurately identify baijiu samples according to different irradiation doses and to search for irradiation-induced spectral difference characteristics (spectral markers). The results showed that SD was the best spectral pre-processing method, and RF models constructed using the 20 most competitive and discriminative spectral markers (selected by Venn) could achieve accurate identification of baijiu samples based on irradiation dose (0, 4, 6, and 8 kGy). After Pearson correlation analysis, the five significantly (P<0.05) changed spectral markers (1596, 2025, 2309, 2329, and 2380 cm-1) were attributed to changes in the content of total acids, alcohols, and aromatic compounds. These findings demonstrate for the first time the potential of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy as a fast, low-cost, and non-destructive tool for the characterization and identification of irradiated baijiu samples. This approach may also offer a promising solution for labeling management of irradiated foods, vintage identification of baijius, and brand protection.

Abstract
Recently, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the need for early diagnosis of infectious diseases, including viruses, is emerging. Though early diagnosis is essential to prevent infection and progression to severe illness, there are few technologies that accurately measure low concentrations of biomarkers. Plasmonic nanomaterials are attracting materials that can effectively amplify various signals, including fluorescence, Raman, and other optical and electromagnetic output. In this review, we introduce recently developed plasmonic nanobiosensors for measuring viral DNA/RNA as potential biomarkers of viral diseases. In addition, we discuss the future perspective of plasmonic nanobiosensors for DNA/RNA detection. This review is expected to help the early diagnosis and pathological interpretation of viruses and other diseases.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigated the feasibility of using urine surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for the rapid screening of patients with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The SERS spectra were recorded from the urine of 49 liver cirrhosis, 55 HCC, and 50 healthy volunteers using a Raman spectrometer. The normalized mean Raman spectra showed the difference of specific biomolecules associated with the illnesses, and the metabolism of specific nucleic acids and amino acids is abnormal in patients with liver cirrhosis and HCC. Based on the SVM algorithm, the urine SERS method could identify liver cirrhosis (sensitivity 88.9%, specificity 83.3%, and accuracy 85.9%) and HCC (sensitivity 85.5%, specificity 84.0%, and accuracy 84.8%). It has a higher diagnostic sensitivity for HCC than serum Alpha fetoprotein (AFP). This exploratory study showed that the urine SERS spectra combined with the SVM algorithm has indicated great potential in the noninvasive identification of liver cirrhosis and HCC.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has received considerable attention from researchers due to its high molecular specificity, high sensitivity, non-invasive and multiplexing. Recently, various metal substrates have been exploited for SERS analysis and imaging. Among them, gold nanomaterials are important SERS substrates with outstanding surface plasmon resonance effects, structural adjustability and good biocompatibility, making them widely used in biomedical diagnosis and clinical fields. In this minireview, we discuss the latest progress about the application of gold-based nanomaterials as SERS probes in biomedical research, primarily for in vivo disease diagnosis and imaging. This review mainly includes the basic shapes and morphologies of gold based SERS probes, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), gold nanorods (AuNRs), gold nanostars (AuNSs), as well as other gold nanostructures. Finally, a brief outlook for the future development of SERS technique in the context of efficient diagnostics and therapy guidance is provided. We hope that this minireview will facilitate the design and future development of Surface-enhanced Raman probes based on gold nanomaterials.

Abstract
This work describes a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the sensing of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with high sensitivity. First, a monolayer of 1,6-hexanedithiol (HDT) was fabricated on the screen-printed electrode surface by the interaction between sulfur atoms and SPE. AuNPs can be modified on the electrode by the Au-S bond formed between the HDT-free group and Au atom in AuNPs. Protein A is then adsorbed onto AuNPs. Several parameters were optimized. The optimum concentration of protein A is 0.6 mg/mL. The optimum immobilization time for protein A is 90 min. The optimum concentration of antibody is 80 μg/mL. The optimum immobilization time for antibody is 90 min. Directional immobilization of EBV antibody is achieved by high affinity binding of protein A to the Fc segment of antibody. When antigen specifically binds to antibody, the formation of immune complexes blocks electron transfer of [Fe(CN)6]4-/3- and is reflected in the detection of cyclic voltammetry/electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The detection range is 1 pg/mL-l00 ng/mL with a LOD of 0.1 pg/mL. In addition, the proposed sensor exhibited an excellent antiinterference property.

Abstract
Early specific detection through indicative biomarkers and precise visualization of lesion sites are urgent requirements for clinical disease diagnosis. However, current detection and optical imaging methods are insufficient for these demands. Molecular imaging technologies are being intensely studied for reliable medical diagnosis. In the past several decades, molecular imaging with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has significant advances from analytical chemistry to medical science. SERS is the inelastic scattering generated from the interaction between photons and substances, presenting molecular structure information. The outstanding SERS virtues of high sensitivity, high specificity, and resistance to biointerference are highly advantageous for biomarker detection in a complex biological matrix. In this work, we review recent progress on the applications of SERS imaging in clinical diagnostics. With the assistance of SERS imaging, the detection of disease-related proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and pH of the cellular microenvironment can be implemented for adjuvant medical diagnosis. Moreover, multimodal imaging integrates the high penetration and high speed of other imaging modalities and imaging precision of SERS imaging, resulting in final complete and accurate imaging outcomes and exhibiting robust potential in the discrimination of pathological tissues and surgical navigation. As a promising molecular imaging technology, SERS imaging has achieved remarkable performance in clinical diagnostics and the biomedical realm. It is expected that this review will provide insights for further development of SERS imaging and promote the rapid progress and successful translation of advanced molecular imaging with clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Multiplex surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of markers without background in tumor biosystems has its superiority over other optical methods. Herein, we reported a strategy of quantitative discrimination of two breast cancer cell subtypes. Based on our previous studies, two kinds of Prussian blue analogue coated gold nanoparticles (Au@PBA NPs) were designed and synthesized by the replacement of Fe2+ with Pb2+ or Cu2+. Therefore, two distinct SERS emissions of C≡N bonds at 2122 cm-1 and 2176 cm-1 have been acquired. When modified with aptamers of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which are both expressed in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines but in different levels, the SERS nanoprobes simultaneously identified the relative expression of these biomarkers on the cell surface, providing a good example for ratiometric detection in biosystems without any interference. Each surface marker of tumor cells corresponds to a single SERS emission. Thus, each subtype could be described in a molecular profiling way through duplex C≡N bonds-based SERS emission, which is more advanced than traditional flow cytometry method.

Abstract
Sensitive and precise detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is critical for prostate cancer screening and monitoring. Herein, a target-triggered and self-calibration aptasensor based on a core-satellite nanostructure using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology was developed for the sensitive and reliable determination of PSA protein, with a limit of detection of 0.38 ag mL-1 and a dynamic detection range of 10-2 to 10-15 mg mL-1. Furthermore, the proposed approach for the detection of PSA in patient blood samples was performed, and results showed that it is capable of providing comparable detection accuracy associated with a larger dynamic detection range and a lower detection limit as well as less sample requirement (only 5 μL) in comparison with the clinical commonly used method. Therefore, this SERS-based aptasensor for the detection of PSA in human blood samples has promising potential to be an alternative tool for clinical application in the accurate screening of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Here, straight upward Au nanowires (NWs) were successfully grown onto Fe3O4@TiO2 matrix through a seed-mediated strategy to intensively improve its photocatalysis and SERS performances, facilitating a peculiar recyclable surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based immunoassay of CA19-9 in liquid form based on visible light irradiation. Such immunoassay was also supported by a smart heterobifunctional cross-linking agent-mediated probe of anti-CA19-9/4-MBA without metal nanoparticles. A low limit of detection of 5.65 × 10-4 IUmL-1 and a wide linear range from 1000 to 0.001 IUmL-1 were demonstrated through repeated constructing the sandwich immunostructure with only one batch of nanocomposites. Moreover, the actual levels of CA19-9 for colorectal cancer patients were readily measured by the recyclable immunoassay, the results of which are principally consistent with the conventional CLIA detection. Thus, such a green strategy of visible light-induced recyclable immunoassay could be expected to have a potential practicability in the clinical diagnoses of cancer.

Abstract
The concept of being able to urinate in a cup and screen for colorectal cancer (CRC) is fascinating to the public at large. Here, a simple and label-free urine test based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was employed for CRC detection. Significant spectral differences among normal, stages I-II, and stages III-IV CRC urines were observed. Using discriminant function analysis, the diagnostic sensitivities of 95.8%, 80.9%, and 84.3% for classification of normal, stages I-II, and stages III-IV CRC were achieved in training model, indicating the great promise of urine SERS as a rapid, convenient and noninvasive method for CRC staging detection.

Abstract
In this perspective, we discuss iron-complexes as drug candidates that are promising alternatives to conventional platinum-based chemotherapies owing to their broad range of reactivities and to the targeting of different biological systems. Breakthroughs in the comprehension of iron complexes' structure-activity relationship contributed to the clarification of their metabolization pathways, sub-cellular localization and influence on iron homeostasis, while enlightening the primary molecular targets of theses likely multi-target metallodrugs. Both the antiproliferative activity and elevated safety index observed among the family of iron complexes showed encouraging results as per their therapeutic potential and selectivity also with the aim of reducing chemotherapy side-effects, and facilitated more pre-clinical investigations. The purpose of this perspective is to summarize the recent advances that contributed in unveiling the intricate relationships between the structural modifications on iron-complexes and their reactivity, cellular trafficking and global mechanisms of action to broaden their use as anticancer drugs and advance to clinical evaluation.

Abstract
Viral infections are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality of humans; sensitive and specific diagnostic methods for the rapid identification of viral pathogens are required. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is one of the most promising techniques for routine analysis due to its excellent sensitivity, simple and low-cost instrumentation and minimal required sample preparation. The outstanding sensitivity of SERS is achieved due to tiny nanostructures which must be assembled before or during the analysis. As for specificity, it may be provided using recognition elements. Antibodies, complimentary nucleic acids and aptamers are the most usable recognition elements for virus identification. Here, SERS-based biosensors for virus identification with oligonucleotides as recognition elements are reviewed, and the potential of these biosensors is discussed.

Abstract
Precision oncology, defined as the use of the molecular understanding of cancer to implement personalized patient treatment, is currently at the heart of revolutionizing oncology practice. Due to the need for repeated molecular tumor analyses in facilitating precision oncology, liquid biopsies, which involve the detection of noninvasive cancer biomarkers in circulation, may be a critical key. Yet, existing liquid biopsy analysis technologies are still undergoing an evolution to address the challenges of analyzing trace quantities of circulating tumor biomarkers reliably and cost effectively. Consequently, the recent emergence of cutting-edge plasmonic nanomaterials represents a paradigm shift in harnessing the unique merits of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensing platforms for clinical liquid biopsy applications. Herein, an expansive review on the design/synthesis of a new generation of diverse plasmonic nanomaterials, and an updated evaluation of their demonstrated SERS-based uses in liquid biopsies, such as circulating tumor cells, tumor-derived extracellular vesicles, as well as circulating cancer proteins, and tumor nucleic acids is presented. Existing challenges impeding the clinical translation of plasmonic nanomaterials for SERS-based liquid biopsy applications are also identified, and outlooks and insights into advancing this rapidly growing field for practical patient use are provided.

Abstract
Circulating tumour nucleic acids (ctNAs) are released from tumours cells and can be detected in blood samples, providing a way to track tumors without requiring a tissue sample. This "liquid biopsy" approach has the potential to replace invasive, painful, and costly tissue biopsies in cancer diagnosis and management. However, a very sensitive and specific approach is required to detect relatively low amounts of mutant sequences linked to cancer because they are masked by the high levels of wild-type sequences. This review discusses high-performance nucleic acid biosensors for ctNA analysis in patient samples. We compare sequencing- and amplification-based methods to next-generation sensors for ctDNA and ctRNA (including microRNA) profiling, such as electrochemical methods, surface plasmon resonance, Raman spectroscopy, and microfluidics and dielectrophoresis-based assays. We present an overview of the analytical sensitivity and accuracy of these methods as well as the biological and technical challenges they present.

Abstract
Development of a sensitive, rapid and easy-to-use liquid biopsy method is of imperative clinical value for point-of-care caner diagnostics. Here, a label-free and modification-free nanotechnology based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was employed for DNA analysis. Using the SERS signals of phosphate backbone as internal standard, quantitative detection for nucleobases was achieved even at single base level. The method combined with principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis was further applied for real blood circulating DNA detection for the first time, and an ideal diagnostic sensitivity of 83.3% and specificity of 82.5% could be obtained for differentiating the nasopharyngeal cancer from the normal group, demonstrating promising potential as an alternative nanotechnology for nasopharyngeal cancer screening based on liquid biopsy.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate is a major vector of chemical energy in living organisms, but its detection is sometimes hindered by complicated physiological sample matrixes. In this work, we demonstrated a ratiometric bioassay for the accurate and sensitive detection of ATP by measuring the 197Au/115In signal ratio of a mass spectrometric core-satellite structure. Validation of the proposed bioassay was successfully demonstrated in cell lysates and human serum samples.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopic technique in which the Raman scattering signal strength of molecules, absorbed by rough metals or the surface of nanoparticles, experiences an exponential growth (10³-10⁶ times and even 1014-1015 times) because of electromagnetic or chemical enhancements. Nowadays, SERS has attracted tremendous attention in the field of analytical chemistry due to its specific advantages, including high selectivity, rich informative spectral properties, nondestructive testing, and the prominent multiplexing capabilities of Raman spectroscopy. In this review, we present the applications of state-of-the-art SERS for the detection of DNA, proteins and drugs. Moreover, we focus on highlighting the merits and mechanisms of achieving enhanced SERS signals for food safety and clinical treatment. The machine learning techniques, combined with SERS detection, are also indicated herein. This review concludes with recommendations for future studies on the development of SERS.
