Popis: Here we report a simple all-nucleic-acid enzyme-free catalyzed hairpin assembly assisted amplification strategy with quantum dots (QDs) as the nanoscale signal reporter for homogeneous visual and fluorescent detection of A549 lung cancer cells from clinical blood samples. This work was based on the phenomenon that CdTe QDs can selectively recognize Agsup+/supand C-Agsup+/sup-C and by using mucin 1 as the circulating tumor cells (CTCs) marker and aptamer as the recognition probe. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detections as low as 0.15 fg/mL of mucin 1 and 3 cells/mL of A549 cells were achieved with fluorescence signals. A 1 fg/mL concentration of mucin 1 and 100 cells/mL of A549 can be distinguished by the naked eye. This method was used to quantitatively analyze CTCs in 51 clinical whole blood samples of patients with lung cancer. The levels of CTCs detected in clinical samples by this method were consistent with those obtained using the folate receptor-polymerase chain reaction clinical test kit and correlated with radiologic and pathological findings.
