Abstract
Tailored healthcare, an approach focused on individual patients, requires integrating emerging interdisciplinary technologies to develop accurate and user-friendly diagnostic tools. KRAS mutations, prevalent in various common cancers, are crucial determinants in selecting patients for novel KRAS inhibitor therapies. This study presents a novel state-of-the-art Lab-on-a-Disc system utilizing peptide nucleic acids-loop backward (PNA-LB) mediated allele-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for detecting the frequent G12D KRAS mutation, signifying its superiority over alternative mutation detection approaches. The designed Lab-on-a-Disc system demonstrated exceptional preclinical and technical precision, accuracy, and versatility. By applying varying cutoff values to PNA- LB LAMP reactions, the assay's sensitivity and specificity were increased by 80 % and 90 %, respectively. The device's key advantages include a robust microfluidic Lab-on-a-Disc design, precise rotary control, and a cutting-edge induction heating module. These features enable multiplexing of LAMP reactions with high reproducibility and repeatability, with CV% values less than 3.5 % and 5.5 %, respectively. The device offers several methods for accurate endpoint result detection, including naked-eye observation, RGB image analysis using Python code, and time of fluorescence (Tf) values. Preclinical specificity and sensitivity, assessed using different cutoffs for Eva-Green fluorescence Tf values and pH-sensitive dyes, demonstrated comparable performance to the best standard methods. Overall, this study represents a significant step towards tailoring treatment strategies for cancer patients through precise and efficient mutation detection technologies.

Optimization of a simple, low-cost one-step reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification method for real-time detection of potato virus A in potato leaves and tubers. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:373. [PMID: 37854940 PMCID: PMC10579207 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03791-w] [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: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Vegetative propagation of potatoes makes it possible for potato viruses to be transmitted through tubers. Potato virus A (PVA) is one of these viruses, which belongs to the Potyvirus genus in the Potyviridae family. Potato tuber yield can be reduced by 30-40% by PVA alone. Losses can be further exacerbated by potato virus X and/or potato virus Y infection. PVA is transmitted primarily by several species of aphids in non-persistent manner. With the aim of resolving this problem, we developed one-step reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA), a highly sensitive and cost-effective method for detecting PVA in both potato tubers and leaves. Detection and amplification are performed using isothermal conditions in this method. There was good amplification of the coat protein gene in PVA with all three primers tested. To conduct this study, a primer set that can amplify specific 185 base pair (bp) product was selected. PVA detection was optimized by 30-min amplification reactions, which showed no cross-reactivity with other potato viruses. A simple heating block or water bath was used to amplify PVA product using RT-RPA at a temperature range of 38-42 °C. In comparison to conventional reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the newly developed RT-RPA protocol exhibited high sensitivity for both potato leaves and tuber tissues. Using cellular paper-based simple RNA extraction procedure, the virus was detected in leaf samples as efficiently as purified total RNA. We also found that combining LiCl-based RNA precipitation with cellular paper discs allowed us to successfully optimize RNA extraction for one-step RT-RPA for detecting PVA in tubers. Tests using this simplified one-step RT-RPA method were successfully applied to 300 samples of both leaves and tubers from various potato cultivars. In our knowledge, this is the first report of an RT-RPA assay utilizing simple RNA obtained from either cellular disc paper or LiCl coupled with cellular disc paper to detect PVA. As a result, this method was equally sensitive and specific for detecting PVA in potatoes. The developed RT-RPA assay is more versatile, durable, and do not require highly purified RNA templates, thus providing an effective alternative to RT-PCR assays for screening of germplasm, certifying planting materials, breeding for virus resistance, and real-time monitoring of PVA.

Development of Reverse Transcription Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RT-RPA): A Methodology for Quick Diagnosis of Potato Leafroll Viral Disease in Potato. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032511. [PMID: 36768834 PMCID: PMC9916786 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Potatoes are developed vegetatively from tubers, and therefore potato virus transmission is always a possibility. The potato leafroll virus (PLRV) is a highly devastating virus of the genus Polerovirus and family Luteoviridae and is regarded as the second-most destructive virus after Potato virus Y. Multiple species of aphids are responsible for the persistent and non-propagating transmission of PLRV. Due to intrinsic tuber damage (net necrosis), the yield and quality are drastically diminished. PLRV is mostly found in phloem cells and in extremely low amounts. Therefore, we have attempted to detect PLRV in both potato tuber and leaves using a highly sensitive, reliable and cheap method of one-step reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA). In this study, an isothermal amplification and detection approach was used for efficient results. Out of the three tested primer sets, one efficiently amplified a 153-bp product based on the coat protein gene. In the present study, there was no cross-reactivity with other potato viruses and the optimal amplification reaction time was thirty minutes. The products of RT-RPA were amplified at a temperature between 38 and 42 °C using a simple heating block/water bath. The present developed protocol of one-step RT-RPA was reported to be highly sensitive for both leaves and tuber tissues equally in comparison to the conventional reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. By using template RNA extracted employing a cellular disc paper-based extraction procedure, the method was not only simplified but it detected the virus as effectively as purified total RNA. The simplified one-step RT-RPA test was proven to be successful by detecting PLRV in 129 samples of various potato cultivars (each consisting of leaves and tubers). According to our knowledge, this is the first report of a one-step RT-RPA performed using simple RNA extracted from cellular disc paper that is equally sensitive and specific for detecting PLRV in potatoes. In terms of versatility, durability and the freedom of a highly purified RNA template, the one-step RT-RPA assay exceeds the RT-PCR assay, making it an effective alternative for the certification of planting materials, breeding for virus resistance and disease monitoring.

[PMID: 35891337 PMCID: PMC9321219 DOI: 10.3390/v14071355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The timely and accurate diagnosis of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection is crucial to reduce the risk of viral transmission. Therefore, the objective of this review was to evaluate the overall diagnostic accuracy of rapid point-of-care tests (POCTs) for PEDV. Studies published before 7 January 2022 were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Springer Link, and Web of Science databases, using subject headings or keywords related to point of care and rapid test diagnostic for PEDV and PED. Two investigators independently extracted data, rated risk of bias, and assessed the quality using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. The bivariate model and the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) model were used for performing the meta-analysis. Threshold effect, subgroup analysis, and meta-regression were applied to explore heterogeneity. Of the 2908 records identified, 24 eligible studies involving 3264 specimens were enrolled in the meta-analysis, including 11 studies on evaluation of lateral flow immunochromatography assay (ICA)-based, and 13 on nucleic acid isothermal amplification (NAIA)-based POCTs. The overall pooled sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were 0.95 (95% CI: 0.92–0.97), 0.96 (95% CI 0.88–0.99) and 480 (95% CI 111–2074), respectively; for ICA-based POCTs and the corresponding values for NAIA-based, POCTs were 0.97 (95% CI 0.94–0.99), 0.98 (95% CI 0.91–0.99) and 1517 (95% CI 290–7943), respectively. The two tests showed highly comparable and satisfactory diagnostic performance in clinical utility. These results support current recommendations for the use of rapid POC tests when PEDV is suspected.

Abstract
Potato virus S (PVS) is a noteworthy threat to the propagation of healthy seed potatoes. Accurate and speedy detection is critical for effective PVS management. In the present study, an isothermal-based one-step reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) approach was developed to detect PVS infection in potato leaves and tubers. A primer set based on the coat protein gene successfully amplified a 158 bp product out of three primer sets examined. The amplification reaction took less than 30 min to complete with no account of cross-reactivity with major potato viruses. Additionally, amplification of RT-RPA products was performed on the heating system and/or water bath at 38-42 °C. The results of sensitivity analysis revealed that one-step RT-RPA has shown 100 times higher sensitivity than routine RT-PCR for the detection of PVS in infected leaves. Furthermore, ten times higher sensitivity of RT-RPA was observed in infected tubers. The methodology was simplified further by the use of template RNA extracted using a cellular disc paper-based extraction method that detected the PVS more effectively than purified total RNA. PVS was detected in 175 samples (leaves and tubers each) of several potato varieties using this innovative technique. To our acquaintance, this is the first report of one-step RT-RPA using a basic RNA extract derived through cellular disc paper that is significantly sensitive and precise for PVS detection in potatoes. The advantages of one-step RT-RPA in terms of proficiency, robustness, and the availability of a highly pure RNA template make it an attractive choice for seed accreditation, resistance breeding, and field inspections.

Abstract
COVID-19 is one of the most severe global health crises that humanity has ever faced. Researchers have restlessly focused on developing solutions for monitoring and tracing the viral culprit, SARS-CoV-2, as vital steps to break the chain of infection. Even though biomedical engineering (BME) is considered a rising field of medical sciences, it has demonstrated its pivotal role in nurturing the maturation of COVID-19 diagnostic technologies. Within a very short period of time, BME research applied to COVID-19 diagnosis has advanced with ever-increasing knowledge and inventions, especially in adapting available virus detection technologies into clinical practice and exploiting the power of interdisciplinary research to design novel diagnostic tools or improve the detection efficiency. To assist the development of BME in COVID-19 diagnosis, this review highlights the most recent diagnostic approaches and evaluates the potential of each research direction in the context of the pandemic.

Abstract
Potato virus X (PVX), is a serious threat to global potato production. A simple and rapid detection method is imperative for PVX diagnosis and early management. In this study, an isothermal one-step reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) method was optimized for the quick and convenient detection of PVX in potato leaves and tubers. Our results revealed that this one-step RT-RPA method was highly efficient than the conventional reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The amplification reaction was free from cross-reactivity with other common potato viruses and completed within 30 min. Moreover, this RT-RPA assay did not require a thermocycler based specific temperature phase amplification and can be easily performed using a simple heating block or water bath at a temperature range of 39-42 °C. The sensitivity assay demonstrated that the developed one-step RT-RPA method was 100 times more sensitive than a routine one-step RT-PCR. Initially, the purified total RNA as the template isolated from infected leaves of potato was used for the detection of PVX. One-step RT-RPA was later performed using cellular disc paper-based simple RNA extract as a template that could detect the virus more efficiently than purified total RNA. The performance of the one-step RT-RPA assay was further evaluated using 500 field samples of leaves and tubers representing different cultivars and geographical regions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection of PVX infection by one-step RT-RPA using cellular disc paper-based simple RNA extract from leaves and dormant tubers of potato. It is superior to the common RT-PCR assay in terms of its versatility, quickness, and independence of highly purified RNA template and can be adopted as a substitute to RT-PCR as an effective technique for seed potato certification, quarantine, breeding, and field surveys.
