Abstract Background: Methods based on magnetic bead probes have been developed for immunoassay, but most involve complicated labeling or stripping procedures and are unsuitable for routine use. Methods: We synthesized magnet core/shell NiFe2O4/SiO2 nanoparticles and fabricated an electrochemical magnetic controlled microfluidic device for the detection of 4 tumor markers. The immunoassay system consisted of 5 working electrodes and an Ag/AgCl reference electrode integrated on a glass substrate. Each working electrode contained a different antibody immobilized on the NiFe2O4/SiO2 nanoparticle surface and was capable of measuring a specific tumor marker using noncompetitive electrochemical immunoassay. Results: Under optimal conditions, the multiplex immunoassay enabled the simultaneous detection of 4 tumor markers. The sensor detection limit was <0.5 μg/L (or <0.5 kunits/L) for most analytes. Intra- and interassay imprecisions (CVs) were <4.5% and 8.7% for analyte concentrations >5 μg/L (or >5 kunits/L), respectively. No nonspecific adsorption was observed during a series of procedures to detect target proteins, and electrochemical cross-talk (CV) between neighboring sites was <10%. Conclusion: This immunoassay system offers promise for label-free, rapid, simple, cost-effective analysis of biological samples. Importantly, the chip-based immunosensor could be suitable for use in the mass production of miniaturized lab-on-a-chip devices and open new opportunities for protein diagnostics and biosecurity.

Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck region is the sixth most frequent malignancy with high mortality rate. Due to its poor prognosis it is considered a growing public health problem worldwide inspite of existing treatment modalities. Thus, early diagnosis of new diseases and recurrences is emerging on one hand, but on the other hand troublesome in the lack of reliable tumor markers in this field. The rapid development of proteomics has opened new perspectives in tumor marker discovery. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) as the gold standard in proteomics enables the semi-quantitative analysis of proteins within various tissues. Abundance differences between tumor and normal tissue also can be interpreted as tumor specific changes. The aim of this study was to identify potential tumor markers of laryngeal/hypopharyngeal SCC by revealing abundance changes between cancerous and the surrounding phenotypically healthy tissue. After separating the phenotypically cancerous and healthy parts of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, each sample underwent protein recovery process and tryptic digestion for label-free semi-quantitative LC/MS analysis. Eight proteins showed significantly higher abundance in tumor including tenascin, transmembrane emp24 domain-containing protein 2, cytoplasmic dynein light chain 1, coactosin-like protein, small proline-rich protein 2D, nucleolin, U5 small nuclear RNP 200-kDa helicase and fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase. Desmoglein-1 and keratin type I cytoskeletal 9 were down-regulated in tumor. Using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis we mapped the signaling pathways these proteins play role in regarding other tumors. Based on these findings these proteins may serve as promising biomarkers in the fight against laryngeal/hypopharyngeal SCCs.
