Molecular diagnosis and accurate damage analysis of complex genomic DNAs in tumor cells are crucial to the theranostics of cancers but still a huge challenge. Herein, by designed preparation of a uniform plasmonic sunflower-like assembly gold (Au) nanostructure that is capable of efficient DNA capture and providing high-density gap-plasmon "hot spots" for adequate surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enhancement, we succeeded in sensitive and reliable label-free SERS detection of DNA damage in electrostimulus-induced apoptotic cancer cells at the DNA base level for the first time. The SERS results showed that the external electrostimulus (at 1.2 V, for 5 min) was almost harmless to normal healthy cells, but it caused pronounced double strand break and adenine base damage in cancer cell DNAs, which effectively destroyed the reproduction and transcription of DNAs and ultimately induced cell apoptosis. The developed sensing platform and method are promising for cell study of genetically related diseases.
