- W2037596039 abstract "Even with advances in non-invasive diagnosis of diseases such as cancer or inflammatory diseases, tissue biopsy coupled with histopathologic examination remains the gold standard in establishing an accurate diagnosis.1Michalet X. et al.Science. 2005; 307: 538-544Crossref PubMed Scopus (6951) Google Scholar, 2Collins Jr, R.H. et al.N Engl J Med. 1987; 316: 1654-1658Crossref PubMed Scopus (284) Google Scholar Generally, effective tissue diagnosis is fundamentally based on biopsying lesions that are suspicious based on visual inspection. Nevertheless, numerous mucosal conditions, such as dysplasia in ulcerative colitis or Barrett's esophagus, are not always readily recognizable visually, and thus mandate surveillance protocols that involve random biopsies.3Itzkowitz S.H. et al.Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2005; 11: 314-321Crossref PubMed Scopus (498) Google Scholar To effectively sample large organs such as the colon, numerous biopsies are required,4Winawer S. et al.Gastroenterology. 2003; 124: 544-560Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1960) Google Scholar which can be time consuming. Moreover, due to the size of current forceps and the associated mucosal trauma and to the serial operation of the forceps, the number of random biopsies that can be realistically carried out is limited. Consequently, the current standard of care for cancer surveillance in ulcerative colitis patients is performed with at least 33 sequential biopsies (4-quadrant biopsies every 10 cm), which we estimate cumulatively samples less than 0.3% of colonic mucosa. The low sampling coverage may be ineffective at detecting precancerous or cancerous lesions, especially for early, small lesions that are also the most treatable. Here, we demonstrate the use of sub-millimeter, untethered endoscopic microgrippers (μ-grippers) to retrieve tissue samples for diagnostics. Parallel fabrication, deployment and thermal actuation make the μ-grippers ideal to achieve statistical tissue sampling of large organs such as the colon. Our results suggest a new paradigm in medicine whereby large numbers of small, tether-free microsurgical tools could complement individual, large, tethered biopsying devices. We designed the μ-grippers to resemble biological appendages, such as hands, with rigid phalanges and flexible joints (Figure 1A). The joints contain residual stress powered actuators which allow them to close and grasp without the need for tethers (Figure 1B). The rigid phalanges of the μ-grippers are composed of nickel, and hence, respond to applied magnetic field. A thermo-sensitive trigger layer on the joints keeps the μ-grippers flat at 4 °C, but softens at 37 °C, causing the μ-grippers to close.5Gultepe E. et al.Advanced Materials. 2013; 25: 514-519Crossref PubMed Scopus (159) Google Scholar It is noteworthy that the size of the μ-grippers, 1 mm tip-to-tip, is far smaller than conventional biopsy forceps currently in use (Figure 1C). The μ-grippers are small enough that hundreds can be deployed at a time and actuated en masse (Video); therefore, they can form the basis for a more statistically efficient means to screen large area organs. In a Monte Carlo model, we estimated the effectiveness of detecting a mucosal lesion of a particular size by dividing the mucosal area into bins of the lesion size and calculating the probability of getting a sample from the bin with the lesion. The probability of detecting the lesion, which is equal to the number of sampled bins divided by the total number of bins, was calculated as a function of the ratio of lesion size to the organ area (see the statistical model section of the Supplementary Materials). Our simulation clearly shows that because large numbers of μ-grippers can sample many more bins, the sampling success of utilizing the μ-grippers is significantly higher than utilizing conventional biopsy forceps, especially in the case of small lesions. For example, for a lesion size of 6cm2, the sampling success with conventional forceps is 8%, compared with 45% and 95% for 300 and 1500 μ-grippers respectively. To test the feasibility of biologic tissue sampling with μ-grippers, we used a swine colon in ex vivo studies. We inserted an endoscope into the anus and advanced it under endoscopic guidance. The μ-grippers were suspended in sterile water and deployed on the colon surface using a through-the-endoscope catheter. Since the μ-grippers are free to move in the water, there is no preferred orientation when they contact the tissue surface. We uniformly spread hundreds of μ-grippers by rotating the endoscope during the deployment and visually verified the closure of the μ-grippers using the endoscopic imaging (Figures 1D and E). To simulate the normal human temperature, the colon was submerged in a water bath kept at 37 °C. After closure, we retrieved the vast majority of μ-grippers using a magnetic catheter inserted through the endoscope (Figure 1F). The rest of the μ-grippers were suctioned out with the endoscope into a trap bottle. The tissue retrieved with the μ-grippers was then used for genetic diagnostics (RNA and DNA analyses), as well as for cytologic analyses. First, we extracted RNA and DNA from the retrieved tissue. We reverse transcribed the RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA), and then designed primers for several highly abundant transcripts in pigs.6Collado-Romero M. et al.Vet Res. 2010; 41: 23Crossref PubMed Scopus (80) Google Scholar As Figure 2A demonstrates, cDNA amplification produced bands of expected size. Similarly, we employed DNA primers designed for pig DNA.7Ren J. Tang H. et al.J Anim Breed Genet. 2009; 126: 30-36Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar Figure 2B demonstrates that we were able to amplify all 3 genes and that the amplified DNA had the expected size. Hence, the tissue retrieved by the μ-grippers is of sufficient quality and quantity to allow DNA and RNA extraction, as well as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification in an effort to look for previously identified disease-diagnostic markers (see the experimental details section of the Supplementary Material). Notable concerns are whether the cells retrieved using the μ-grippers are desquamated cells in the mucus and if conventional cytologic studies can be achieved using retrieved tissue samples. In order to address these concerns, additional in vivo experiments were also completed in the esophagus, and tissue retrieved using the μ-grippers was layered on a slide and stained using H&E. Cytologic results (Figure 2C) clearly shows that high quality sections and both epithelial and desquamated cells can be obtained using the μ-grippers. In contrast to the dominant paradigm of “one task by one tool” used in conventional surgery, the concept of utilizing large numbers of miniaturized and untethered devices suggests a statistical approach to surgery. We have shown that it is possible with tether-free μ-grippers to retrieve high quality tissue samples which are suitable for either conventional cytologic analysis or genetic analysis. Further, the use of alternate polymer triggers could enable responsiveness to alternate stimuli, such as enzymes,8Bassik N. et al.J Am Chem Soc. 2010; 132: 16314-16317Crossref PubMed Scopus (96) Google Scholar and other biochemicals, to enable autonomous responses at diseased sites.
