Gold nanoparticle-based detection of EGFR mutations on microarrays

Objective: To develop a DNA microarray based on gold nanoparticle and silver development for simple and rapid detection of mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) gene.Methods:The amino-modified probes that are designed to bind complementary DNA targets had been immobilized on the aldehyde-modified glass surface.Fragments containing the exon 18,19,20 or 21 of EGFR were amplified with PCR using 5’-biotinylated primers.The immobilized probes were used to capture complementary PCR amplicons,which were then detected by streptavidin coated gold nanoparticle.A silver development methodology was employed to amplify the signal and DNA sequencing was used to validate the genotype.Results:The EGFR mutations were detected rapidly using this DNA chip and gold nanoparticle-mediated silver staining.The lower limit of detection(LOD) of the assay was 10-9mol/L of PCR products.And it could distinguish 5% of mutation in sample.Conclusions:This gold nanoparticle-based microarray assay is able to detect and distinguish EGFR mutations.With advantages of high specificity and sensitivity and simpler procedure,this method can be used for quick detection of EGFR mutations in clinical work.
