122113 TROY detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibody-functionalized silicon nanowire field-effect transistors have been shown to exhibit excellent analyte detection sensitivity enabling sensing of analyte concentrations at levels not readily accessible by other methods. One example where accurate measurement of small concentrations is necessary is detection of serum biomarkers, such as the recently discovered tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member TROY (TNFRSF19), which may serve as a biomarker for melanoma. TROY is normally only present in brain but it is aberrantly expressed in primary and metastatic melanoma cells and shed into the surrounding environment. In this study, we show the detection of different concentrations of TROY in buffer solution using top-down fabricated silicon nanowires. We demonstrate the selectivity of our sensors by comparing the signal with that obtained from bovine serum albumin in buffer solution. Both the signal size and the reaction kinetics serve to distinguish the two signals. Using a fast-mixing two-compartment reaction model, we are able to extract the association and dissociation rate constants for the reaction of TROY with the antibody immobilized on the sensor surface.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of LGR5 and TROY Expression in Gastric Carcinogenesis Demonstrates an Inverse Trend
Background: Two of the Wnt signaling pathway target genes, tumor necrosis factor receptor family member (TROY) and leucine-rich G-protein coupled receptor (LGR5), are involved in the generation and maintenance of gastrointestinal epithelium. A negative modulatory role has recently been assigned to TROY, in this pathway. Here, we have examined their simultaneous expression in gastric carcinogene...

متن کاملTroy/TNFRSF19 marks epithelial progenitor cells during mouse kidney development that continue to contribute to turnover in adult kidney.
During kidney development, progressively committed progenitor cells give rise to the distinct segments of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. Similar segment-committed progenitor cells are thought to be involved in the homeostasis of adult kidney. However, markers for most segment-committed progenitor cells remain to be identified. Here, we evaluate Troy/TNFRSF19 as a segment-commit...
متن کاملTroy is expressed in human stomach mucosa and a novel putative prognostic marker of intestinal type gastric cancer
Epithelial stem cells of gastrointestinal tissues are characterized and controlled by an active Wnt signaling. Recently, the Wnt target gene Troy has been proposed as a neoplastic marker in the murine intestine. In this study, we explored the putative tumor biological significance of Troy in humans by using immunohistochemistry (104 cases), quantitative RT-PCR (50 cases) and cell culture experi...
