Popis: Effectively capturing, releasing, and reanalyzing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are critical in cancer diagnosis and individualized treatment. Traditional immunomagnetic separation has disadvantages of low sensitivity and specificity, and is time-consuming and costly in CTCs capture. It is also easily disturbed by the microenvironment in releasing and analyzing CTCs. Here, we proposed an aptamer-mediated DNA concatemer functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-AMDC) for the reversible capture and release of CTCs. In this study, aptamers were used both for efficiently capturing CTCs without complicated assembly steps and stimulus-response switch for releasing CTCs with little influence on cellular activity. The MNPs-AMDC was demonstrated to effectively capture (83%) and release CTCs with a good viability rate (92%). Moreover, this device was also tested in clinical blood samples, which would provide a universal tool for diagnosing cancer and treating individuals.
