[PMID: 39250993 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 09/05/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 expressed in several malignant cancers promotes tumor growth and metastasis via several signal transduction pathways. Trop2 is reputed as a prospective biomarker and therapeutic target. Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2-targeted agents, including antibodies, antibody conjugates and therapeutic combinations, could be utilized to fight cancers. To develop an effective drug targeting strategy, we resorted to a new trophoblast cell surface antigen 2-targeted anticancer treatment through aptamer conjugated with chemotherapeutic drug. This study identified trophoblast cell surface antigen 2-specific ssDNA aptamers using engineered trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 overexpression cells for cell-SELEX. The obtained ssDNA aptamer bound to trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 overexpression cells with nanomolar affinity and was specific for several tumor cell types that express trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 abundantly. Significant cytotoxicity against HT29 cell by the conjugate of trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 aptamer and Emtansine was observed while resulting negligible therapeutic effect on human normal intestinal epithelial cell line HIEC in vitro, indicating that the conjugate shows potential as a promising therapeutic agent. Furthermore, the isolated aptamer demonstrated the ability for the targeted delivery, resulting excellent therapeutic effectiveness of aptamer-drug conjugate for xenograft tumor model of mice with human colorectal cancer.

[PMID: 35985482 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2022.114861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Food fraudulence and food contamination are major concerns, particularly among consumers with specific dietary, cultural, lifestyle, and religious requirements. Current food authentication methods have several drawbacks and limitations, necessitating the development of a simpler, more sensitive, and rapid detection approach for food screening analysis, such as an aptamer-based biosensor system. Although the use of aptamer is growing in various fields, aptamer applications for food authentication are still lacking. In this review, we discuss the limitations of existing food authentication technologies and describe the applications of aptamer in food analyses. We also project several potential targets or marker molecules to be targeted in the SELEX process. Finally, this review highlights the drawbacks of current aptamer technologies and outlines the potential route of aptamer selection and applications for successful food authentication. This review provides an overview of the use of aptamer in food research and its potential application as a molecular reporter for rapid detection in food authentication process. Developing databases to store all biochemical profiles of food and applying machine learning algorithms against the biochemical profiles are urged to accelerate the identification of more reliable biomarker molecules as aptamer targets for food authentication.

[PMID: 32814208 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
We report biolayer interferometry based in-vitro selection technique (BLI-SELEX) for fishing out specific aptamers against E. coli Shiga toxin subtypes viz., stx1 & stx2 via epitopic peptides. BLI-SELEX is a one-step technique for rapidly generating aptamers against protein biomarkers in a microtiter plate format, obliterating the need for multiple enrichment rounds to harvest high-affinity aptamers as in conventional SELEX. Two unique aptamers selected against stx1 & stx2 with picomolar Kd (~47 pM & ~29 pM, respectively) were successfully used to fabricate voltammetric diagnostic assay via immobilization onto chitosan exfoliated 2D tungsten diselenide (WSe2) nanosheet platform. These aptamers modified nanosensors showed high sensitivity of ~ 5.0 μA ng-1 mL, a dynamic response range from 50 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1, with a detection limit of 44.5 pg mL-1 & 41.3 pg mL-1 for stx subtypes, respectively and showed low cross-reactivity in spiked urine, serum and milk samples. The synergistic effect of selective aptamers & high sensitivity imparted by 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) highlights the superior potential of a fabricated nanosensor for bacterial toxin detection.

Abstract
The tunability of SELEX procedure is an essential feature to supply bioaffinity receptors (aptamers) almost on demand for analytical and therapeutic purposes. This longstanding ambition is, however, not straightforward. Non-invasive cancer diagnosis, so called liquid biopsy, requires collection of body fluids with minimal or no sample pretreatment. In those raw matrices, aptamers must recognize minute amounts of biomarkers that are not unique entities but large sets of variants evolving with the disease stage. The susceptibility of aptasensors to assay conditions has driven the selection of aptamers to natural environments to ensure their optimum performance in clinical samples. We present herein a compilation of the SELEX procedures in natural milieus. By revising the electrochemical aptasensors applied to clinical samples for cancer diagnosis and tracing back to the original SELEX we analyze whether aptamers raised using these SELEX strategies are being incorporated to the diagnostic devices and how aptasensors are finding their way to a market dominated by antibody-based assays.
