On Chip Analysis of CNS Lymphoma in Cerebrospinal Fluid

Abstract: Molecular profiling of central nervous system lymphomas in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples can be challenging due to the paucicellular and limited nature of the samples. Presented herein is a microfluidic platform for complete CSF lymphoid cell analysis, including single cell capture in sub-nanoliter traps, and molecular and chemotherapeutic response profiling via on-chip imaging, all in less than one hour. The system can detect scant lymphoma cells and quantitate their kappa/lambda immunoglobulin light chai… Show more

“…However, despite all the aforementioned differences, it is interesting to note how the majority of the studies report an increased number of positive CSF samples for lymphoma involvement employing flow cytometry along with conventional cytology, although in a few cases only morphology can correctly identify malignant cells. The clinical meaning of these findings is currently not completely clear, but we hope it will be more deeply examined in future years, when new molecular and more sensitive methods will be introduced in clinical laboratories . Eventually, focusing on clinical outcome of laboratory tests for meningeal involvement by lymphoproliferative disease, along with improved standardization of methods, will lead to optimal clinical applications on individual patients.…”

“…In the past few years, the clinical potential of some other technological platforms including microfluidic technology, immunomagnetic platform, high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, next generation sequencing (NGS) and proteolytic activity matrix assay (PrAMA) has also been demonstrated [25,50,55,66,67,68,69]. Despite interest and promises, the singularity of these reports does not allow yet making conclusions on suitability of these methods to improve prognosis in patients.Overall, despite CSF liquid biopsy is expected to yield clinically significant biomarkers and assays, the main drawback to all aforementioned approaches in vitro is that their sensitivity is substantially limited by the volume of the sample [70,71].…”
