Development of an electrochemical biosensor for the detection of mammary gland carcinoma using molybdenum enhanced poly taurine nano-biofilms confirmed pathological findings

Abstract

BackgroundDeveloping high-performance sensing frameworks for diagnosing anaplastic changes is the subject of debate. The lack of on-time diagnosis in patients with suspicious cancers can affect the prognosis and survival rate. As a correlate, the emergence of de novo strategies for developing transducing frameworks has an inevitable role in advanced biosensing. The combination of green chemistry procedures with eco-friendly and biocompatible materials is of high desirability in this context. The synthesis of new biocompatible and cost-effective nanomaterials to meet the emerging needs of rising demands appeals to new synthetic methodologies.MethodsHere, we applied the electrochemical synthesis method to the fabrication of biocompatible and subtly governed Molybdenum trioxide/poly taurine nano-bio films to monitor human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) in sera from breast cancer patients. Morphological and elemental assessments were performed using a scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy, and dot mapping analyses. In addition, HER-2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed on tissue samples, and data were compared to the values obtained by Molybdenum trioxide/poly taurine nano-bio films.ResultsWe also noted our platform is eligible for feasible, rapid, and specific determination of HER-2 factor in human samples. The method had a lower limit of quantification of 0.000001 ng/mL and a linear dynamic range between 0.1 ng/mL and 0.000001 ng/mL. IHC imaging showed that the degree of anaplastic changes in breast samples (intensity of HER-2 factor) was closely associated with the intensity of signals obtained by our developed immunosensor.ConclusionsAccording to the obtained desirable coordination with pathological studies, the designed biosensor has excellent capability to use as a reliable diagnostic tool in clinical laboratories.Graphical
