Nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell screening based on the electroporation-SERS spectroscopy.
Spectrochimica Acta. Part A, Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy 2023 December 10
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor in head and neck. Early diagnosis can effectively improve the survival rate of patients. Nasopharyngeal exfoliative cytology, as a convenient and noninvasive auxiliary diagnostic method, is suitable for the population screening of NPC, but its diagnostic sensitivity is low. In this study, an electroporation-based SERS technique was proposed to detect and screen the clinical nasopharyngeal exfoliated cell samples. Firstly, nasopharyngeal swabs was used to collected the nasopharyngeal exfoliated cell samples from NPC patients (n = 54) and healthy volunteers (n = 60). Then, gold nanoparticles, as the Raman scattering enhancing substrates, were rapidly introduced into cells by electroporation technique for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. Finally, SERS spectra combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were employed to diagnose and distinguish NPC cell samples. Raman peak assignments combined with spectral differences reflected the biochemical changes associated with NPC, including nucleic acid, amino acid and carbohydrates. Based on the PCA-LDA approach, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 98.15 %, 96.67 % and 97.37 %, respectively, were achieved for screening NPC. This study offers valuable assistance for noninvasive NPC auxiliary diagnosis, and has grate potential in expanding the application of the SERS technique in clinical cell sample testing.
