Circulating tumor cells (CTCs)[1] are cancer cells shed from either primary tumors or metastatic sites. The presence and number of CTCs in peripheral blood can provide clinically important data on prognosis and therapeutic response patterns, respectively.[2] Thus, as with traditional invasive tumor biopsies that enable gold-standard pathological analysis, CTCs can be regarded as “liquid biopsies” of the tumor, which enable repeated and relatively non-invasive characterization of tumor evolution, especially important during therapeutic interventions. Currently, the FDA-approved CellSearch assay is costly and inefficient at capturing CTCs, and the enriched CTCs are typically contaminated with a large number of white blood cells (WBCs). As a result, the diagnostic value of CTCs has been underused. Over the past decade, a diversity of CTC detection methods [2d, 3] have been developed to overcome the challenges encountered by the immunomagnetic-separation-based CellSearch assay. Different from the existing CTC diagnostic approaches,[2d, 3] we have demonstrated “nanovelcro” chips [4] that are capable of enriching, identifying, and enumerating CTCs in patient blood samples with superb efficiency. First, we pioneered a unique concept of nanovelcro substrates,[5] by which anti-EpCAM-coated silicon-nanowire (SiNW) substrates were used to immobilize CTCs in a stationary device. We have recently shown that other types of nanostructured substrates (eg, electrochemically deposited conjugated-polymer nanofeatures [6] and horizontally packed TiO2 nanofibers [7]) also exhibit enhanced affinity for capturing CTCs, demonstrating the general applicability of nanovelcro substrates. Our approach is unique because of the use of nanostructured substrates; there are enhanced local topographic interactions [8] between the anti-EpCAM-coated nanosubstrates and the nanoscaled cellular surface components (eg, microvilli) on a CTC, which are analogous to the working principle of velcro. Second, by integrating a lithographically patterned nanovelcro substrate with an overlaid poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) chaotic mixer [9] that enhances the frequency of contact between the CTCs flowing through the system and the substrate, we further improved CTC capture efficiency.[4] Side-by-side analytical validation studies using both artificial and patient CTC samples suggested that the sensitivity of nanovelcro chips outperformed [4] that of CellSearch. Although nanovelcro chips allow efficient and reproducible detection of CTCs in patient blood, challenges remain in 1) broadening its general applicability for detecting other types of solid-tumor CTCs that exhibit surface markers other than EpCAM, and 2) enabling the isolation of single CTCs for subsequent molecular analyses. To broaden the general applicability of the nanovelcro-based cell-affinity assay, we explored a melanoma-specific capture agent [13](ie, anti-CD146) to capture circulating melanoma cells (CMCs; a subcategory of solid-tumor CTCs).
