| Popis: | The design and fabrication of multifunctional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotags are key issues in their application to biological imaging of cells and tissues. In this study, highly sensitive, reproducible and long-term stable SERS nanotags were developed for the identification of localized distribution of multiple protein biomarkers expressed on breast cancer cells. To enhance the surface electromagnetic fields of Raman reporter molecules, Ag-encapsulated Au (Ag-Au) hollow nanospheres were synthesized. Strong Raman signal enhancement effects could be achieved by positioning Raman reporter molecules in nanogaps between the Au hollow nanospheres and silver shell. In addition, the signal was also enhanced due to the localization of surface electromagnetic fields through the pinholes on the surface of Au hollow nanospheres. To maintain the long-term stability of the Au hollow-Ag core/shell nanospheres, their surface was coated with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) layer. The biocompatibility of PEGylated Ag-Au hollow nanospheres was investigated using the premix water soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1) cell viability test. These SERS nanotags also enabled a high-resolution multiplexed live cell imaging. Our proposed SERS imaging technique using the new SERS nanotags provides a new platform for fast and accurate classification of different phenotypes of breast cancer cells. |
