Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) serve as important biomarkers in the liquid biopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, a homogeneous dual fluorescence indicators aptasensing strategy is described for CTCs in HCC, with the core assistance of a steric hindrance-mediated enzymatic reaction. CTCs in the sample could specifically bind to a 5′-biotin-modified glypican-3 (GPC3) aptamer and remove the steric hindrance formed by the biotin–streptavidin system. This influences the efficiency of the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase enzymatic reaction. Then, methylene blue (MB) was introduced to react with the main product poly cytosine (polyC) chain, and trivalent cerium ion (Ce3+) was added to react with the byproduct pyrophosphate to form fluorescent pyrophosphate cerium coordination polymeric nanoparticles. Finally, the CTCs were quantified by dual fluorescence indicators analysis. Under optimized conditions, the linear range was 5 to 104cells/mL, and the limits of detection reached 2 cells/mL. Then, 40 clinical samples (15 healthy and 25 HCC patients) were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed an area under the curve of 0.96, a sensitivity of 92%, and a specificity of 100%. Therefore, this study established a sensitive and accurate CTCs sensing system for clinical HCC patients, promoting early tumor diagnosis. |
