- Abstract
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops from polyps in the inner large intestine or rectum and an increasing incidence and high mortality rate has been observed in humans. Currently, colonoscopy is the preferred modality for early CRC diagnosis. However, this technique has several limitations, such as high medical costs and intricate procedures, leading to increasing demands for the development of a new, simple, and affordable diagnostic method. In this study, an advanced electrochemical biosensor based on rationally designed affinity peptides was developed for discriminating adenoma to carcinoma progression. Amino acid-substituted and rationally designed synthetic peptides (BP3-1 to BP3-8) based on in silico modeling studies were chemically synthesized, and covalently immobilized onto a gold electrode using aromatic ring compounds through surface chemistry techniques. The binding performance of the developed sensor system was observed using square wave voltammetry (SWV). The peptide BP3-2 was selected depending on its relative binding affinity; SWV indicated the limit of detection of BP3-2 for LRG1 to be 0.025 μg/mL. This sensor could distinguish the adenoma-carcinoma transition with improved binding abilities (specificity and selectivity), and stability in plasma samples spiked with LRG1 and real samples from patients with CRC. These results indicate that this electrochemical sensor system can be used for early monitoring of the colorectal adenoma to carcinoma progression. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
