Simultaneous detection of multiple tumor markers is of
great significance
for an accurate diagnosis and early treatment of cancer. Electrochemical
homogeneous biosensing strategies have been shown to have advantages,
such as high sensitivity and no electrode modification, but they are
still a challenge in the field of simultaneous detection of multiple
tumor markers. The ER, PR, HER2, and Ki67 proteins are the standard
biomarkers for the clinical molecular typing of breast cancer. Precise,
sensitive, and simultaneous detection of these four biomarkers is
of great importance in the molecular typing of breast cancer, which
helps in the creation of personalized treatment plans. In the present
study, we developed an electrochemical homogeneous electrochemical
bioplatform based on metal ions/SiO2NPs/magnetic beads
for detection of the four biomarkers and simultaneous diagnosis of
the 10 types of breast cancer directly in human serum at one system
by a single electrode. The electrochemical bioplatform has a short
detection time of 140 min; however, the current clinical tissue testing
time takes about 1 week. Also, the electrochemical bioplatform selectively
detects HER2, ER, Ki67, and PR in a range of 0–1000 pg/mL with
detection limits of 2, 1.8, 10.36, and 1.33 pg/mL, respectively.
