Abstract
Cervical cancer is among the most common malignant tumors in women. The development of rapid screening techniques plays an important role in early screening for cancer treatment. We have developed an HPV screening method, which effectively combines the high-efficiency nucleic acid enrichment of chitosan-modified filter paper and the rapid visual detectability of colorimetric LAMP, along with the enhancement of the tolerance ability of the pH-sensitive LAMP reagent to acidic original samples, making the detection of HPV 16/18 easy to carry out and reliable, which is helpful for the epidemiological prevention and control strategies of HPV-induced cancer. This technique can simultaneously exhibit the "in situ amplification" capability of chitosan-modified filter paper and the nontemperature cycle dependence of visual LAMP detection. Therefore, DNA extraction and amplification can be performed efficiently and quickly within a single reaction where all DNA is concentrated in the QF paper disc. By embedding amino-modified filter paper into the plastic chip, a simple and reliable disposable chip was prepared for rapid HPV16 and HPV18 detection from clinical endometrial samples, and the results were 100% consistent with clinical diagnosis. More importantly, even after the sample was diluted 100-fold, HPV16/18-infected cells could be accurately identified, showing the advantages of the system in early cancer screening. Moreover, for endometrial samples containing plenty of cells, the filter paper could be used to enrich cells by filtration, preventing the acidic fluid from impacting pH-induced colorimetric LAMP detection and realizing direct amplification for HPV identification without nucleic acid extraction. This easy-to-operate system that can analyze a wide range of samples will be suitable for routine on-site HPV screening, dramatically extending the applications and utility for rapid, near-patient nucleic acid testing.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped DNA virus transmitted through skin-to-skin contact that infects epithelial and mucosal tissue. It has over 200 known genotypes, classified by their pathogenicity as high-risk and low-risk categories. High-risk HPV genotypes are associated with the development of different types of cancers, including cervical cancer, which is a leading cause of mortality in women. In clinical practice and the market, the principal tests used to detect HPV are based on cytology, hybrid detection, and qPCR. However, these methodologies may not be ideal for the required timely diagnosis. Tests have been developed based on isothermal nucleic acid amplification tests (INAATs) as alternatives. These tests offer multiple advantages over the qPCR, such as not requiring specialized laboratories, highly trained personnel, or expensive equipment like thermocyclers. This review analyzes the different INAATs applied for the detection of HPV, considering the specific characteristics of each test, including the HPV genotypes, gene target, the limit of detection (LOD), detection methods, and detection time. Additionally, we discuss the tests available on the market that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Finally, we address the challenges and potential solutions for the large-scale implementation of INAATs, particularly in rural or underserved areas.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticle (AuNP) fabrication via the oxidation of D-glucose is applied for detecting two foodborne pathogens, Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). D-glucose is used as a reducing agent due to its oxidation to gluconic acid by sodium hydroxide (NaOH), resulting in the formation of AuNPs. Based on this mechanism, we develop AuNP-based colorimetric detection in conjunction with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for accurately identifying the infectious bacteria. Here, Au+ ions bind to the base of double-stranded DNA. In the presence of D-glucose and NaOH, the LAMP amplicon-Au+ complex maintains its bound state at 65 °C for 10 min while it is reduced to AuNPs in a dispersed form, exhibiting a red color. We aimed to pre-mix D-glucose with LAMP reagents before amplification and induce successful colorimetry without inhibiting amplification to simplify the experimental process and decrease the reaction time. Therefore, the entire process, including LAMP and colorimetric detection, is accomplished in approximately 1 h. The limit of detection of E. faecium and S. aureus is confirmed using the introduced method as 101 CFU/mL and 100 fg/μL, respectively. We expect that colorimetric detection using D-glucose-mediated AuNP synthesis offers an application for simple and immediate molecular diagnosis.

Abstract
Isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods have many advantages for use at the point of care. However, there is a lack of multiplexed isothermal amplification tests to detect multiple targets in a single reaction, which would be valuable for many diseases, such as infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV). In this study, we developed a multiplexed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction to detect the three most common hrHPV types that cause cervical cancer (HPV16, HPV18, and HPV45) and a cellular control for sample adequacy. First, we characterized the assay limit of detection (LOD) in a real-time reaction with fluorescence readout; after 30 min of amplification the LOD was 100, 10, and 10 copies/reaction of HPV16, HPV18, and HPV45, respectively, and 0.1 ng/reaction of human genomic DNA (gDNA). Next, we implemented the assay on lateral flow strips, and the LOD was maintained for HPV16 and HPV18, but increased to 100 copies/reaction for HPV45 and to 1 ng/reaction for gDNA. Lastly, we used the LAMP test to evaluate total nucleic acid extracted from 38 clinical samples; compared to qPCR, the LAMP test had 89% sensitivity and 95% specificity. When integrated with sample preparation, this multiplexed LAMP assay could be useful for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is the primary and initiating factor for cervical cancer. With over 200 identified HPV types, including 14 high-risk types that integrate into the host cervical epithelial cell DNA, early determination of HPV infection type is crucial for effective risk stratification and management. Presently, on-site immediate testing during the HPV screening stage, known as Point of Care Testing (POCT), remains immature, severely limiting the scope and scenarios of HPV screening. This study, guided by the genomic sequence patterns of HPV, established a multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology based on the concept of "universal primers." This approach achieved the multiple amplification of RPA, coupled with the CRISPR/Cas12a system serving as a medium for signal amplification and conversion. The study successfully constructed a POCT combined detection system, denoted as H-MRC12a (HPV-Multiple RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a), and applied it to high-risk HPV typing detection. The system accomplished the typing detection of six high-risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, and 45) can be completed within 40 min, and the entire process, from sample loading to result interpretation, can be accomplished within 45 min, with a detection depth reaching 1 copy/μL for each high-risk type. Validation of the H-MRC12a detection system's reproducibility and specificity was further conducted through QPCR on 34 clinical samples. Additionally, this study explored and optimized the multiplex RPA amplification system and CRISPR system at the molecular mechanism level. Furthermore, the primer design strategy developed in this study offers the potential to enhance the throughput of H-MRC12a detection while ensuring sensitivity, providing a novel research avenue for high-throughput detection in Point-of-Care molecular pathogen studies.

Analytical evaluation of the automated genotyping system (GenPlex) compared to a traditional real-time PCR assay for the detection of high-risk human papillomaviruses. J Med Virol 2024; 96:e29496.

Abstract
The detection of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is crucial for early screening and preventing cervical cancer. However, the substantial workload in high-level hospitals or the limited resources in primary-level hospitals hinder widespread testing. To address this issue, we explored a sample-to-answer genotyping system and assessed its performance by comparing it with the traditional real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method conducted manually. Samples randomly selected from those undergoing routine real-time PCR detection were re-analyzed using the fully automatic GenPlex® system. This system identifies 24 types of HPV through a combination of ordinary PCR and microarray-based reverse hybridization. Inconsistent results were confirmed by repeated testing with both methods, and the κ concordance test was employed to evaluate differences between the two methods. A total of 365 samples were randomly selected from 7259 women. According to real-time PCR results, 76 were high-risk HPV negative, and 289 were positive. The GenPlex® system achieved a κ value greater than 0.9 (ranging from 0.920 to 1.000, p < 0.0001) for 14 types of high-risk HPV, except HPV 51 (κ = 0.697, p < 0.0001). However, the inconsistent results in high-risk HPV 51 were revealed to be false positive in real-time PCR by other method. When counting by samples without discriminating the high-risk HPV type, the results of both methods were entirely consistent (κ = 1.000, p < 0.0001). Notably, the GenPlex® system identified more positive cases, with 73 having an HPV type not covered by real-time PCR, and 20 potentially due to low DNA concentration undetectable by the latter. Compared with the routinely used real-time PCR assay, the GenPlex® system demonstrated high consistency. Importantly, the system's advantages in automatic operation and a sealed lab-on-chip format respectively reduce manual work and prevent aerosol pollution. For widespread use of GenPlex® system, formal clinical validation following international criteria should be warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cervical cancer is the most frequent malignancy among women caused by an unresolved long-term infection with distinct human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes. It is the fourth most common form of cancer among women worldwide. The two oncogenic genotypes, HPV 16 and 18, are responsible for >70% of all cervical cancers worldwide. Cervical cancer is one of the most successfully preventable and treatable forms of cancer if detected early. AREAS COVERED In this review article, we have summarizedsummarised the different approaches used in clinical diagnosis and research laboratories to detect HPV-related changes associated with cervical cancer for a better understanding of the advantages and limitations of these tests. EXPERT OPINION Despite the well-known screening strategies for cervical cancer, developing nations lack effective implementation due to various factors. With the current rate of cervical cancer cases, precise and timely identification of HPV can significantly impact the prevention and efficient management of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in developing countries. The primary screening test with cytology and molecular testing of HPV is important for preventing cervical cancer. To address these issues, several point-of-care assays have been developed to facilitate rapid screening of HPV with the least turnaround time.

Abstract
Rapid human papillomavirus (HPV) screening is urgently needed for preventing and early diagnosis of cervical cancer in rural areas. To date, no HPV nucleic acid test (NAT) can be implemented within a single patient visit starting from clinical samples. Here, we develop a hydrogel loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method in a fashion of large-scale parallel (about 1000 cells) in situ HPV DNA detection in clinical cervical exfoliated cells at the single-cell level. It can be used with a hotplate and smartphone to obtain HPV NAT results in less than 30 min, which is especially suitable for the on-site scenario. We apply this rapid HPV NAT on 40 clinical cervical exfoliated cell samples and compare the results to a clinical gold standard quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method [area under curve (AUC), 1.00]. Meanwhile, our assay can provide HPV infection information for large-scale parallel single clinical cervical exfoliated cells, which cannot be received from traditional NAT methods. Our findings suggest the potential of in situ hydrogel LAMP as a powerful tool for clinical HPV screening and fundamental research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The detection of human papillomaviruses (HPV) is a well-recognized strategy in early screening and prevention of cervical cancer. However, it's hard to carry out in undeveloped area because the sophisticated equipment that required in traditional methods is usually unavailable. To overcome this situation, we aim to establish a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method, which is simple and reliable for on-site detection of HPV. METHODS At least 3 sets of LAMP primers for each of the 13 types of high risk HPV were designed. After preliminary validation, the candidate primers were used in the detection of clinical samples and the results were head-to-head compared with a clinically approved real-time PCR assay. The performance of the LAMP method was assessed by kappa concordance test. RESULTS Cervical secretions samples from 1412 patients were included, with 224 samples were used in the preliminary screening of the LAMP primers and the other 1188 samples were used in the verification. Compared with real-time PCR method, the specificity of our LAMP method for each type of HPV were 100 %, and 11 of the 13 types had a sensitivity greater than 80 %. Among them, HPV 31 and 52 demonstrated the best performance, both with Kappa value of 0.913 (P < 0.0001). Besides, HPV 18, 35 and 56 only achieved a Kappa value less than 0.7, indicating their primers or reaction conditions may need further optimization. In general, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and agreement of the LAMP assay in all HPV types was 86.9 %, 100 %, 100 %, 71.4 %, and 90.2 %, respectively (Kappa = 0.766, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION In present study, we preliminary established and validated a LAMP method for HPV detection. This method could combine with self-sampling, thermostatic device, and appropriate dyes to form a simple and effective assay in the future, which would has good prospect and practical value in cervical cancer prevention, especially in undeveloped area.

[PMID: 35250953 PMCID: PMC8894891 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.842178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
With mushroom poisoning emerging as one of the most serious food safety problems worldwide, a rapid identification method of poisonous mushrooms is urgently required to investigate the source of poisoning. Gyromitra infula, a kind of poisonous mushroom, contains gyromitrin toxin, which causes epileptogenic neurotoxicity and hemolytic disease. This study aimed to establish a rapid and visual method of G. infula identification based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). A set of specific LAMP primers was designed, and its specificity in G. infula was confirmed against various mushroom species, including its closely related species and other macrofungi. The sensitivity assay showed that the minimum concentration of genomic DNA detected by LAMP was 1 ng/μl. The method's applicability was conducted by preparing mushroom samples that were boiled and digested in artificial gastric juice. The results showed that the content as low as 1% G. infula can be successfully detected. This method can be completed within 90 min, and the reaction results can be directly observed by the naked eyes. Hence, the identification method of G. infula established based on LAMP in this study is accurate, rapid, sensitive, and low-cost, which is required for clinical treatment or forensic analysis when mushroom poisoning occurs.

Abstract
Early detection is one of the ways to deal with DNA virus widespread prevalence, and it is necessary to know new diagnostic methods and techniques. Colorimetric assays are one of the most advantageous methods in detecting viruses. These methods are based on color change, which can be seen either with the naked eye or with special devices. The aim of this study is to introduce and evaluate effective colorimetric methods based on amplification, nanoparticle, CRISPR/Cas, and Lateral flow in the diagnosis of DNA viruses and to discuss the effectiveness of each of the updated methods. Compared to the other methods, colorimetric assays are preferred for faster detection, high efficiency, cheaper cost, and high sensitivity and specificity. It is expected that the spread of these viruses can be prevented by identifying and developing new methods.

Abstract
We present a novel Faradaic reaction-free nucleic acid amplification (NAA) method for use with microscale liquid samples. Unlike previous Joule heating methods where the electrodes produce electrolysis gaseous by-products and require both the electrodes be isolated from a sample and the venting of produced electrolysis gas, our electrokinetic Nucleic Acid Amplification (E-NAAMP) method alleviates these issues using a radio frequency (RF) alternating current electric field. In this approach, a pair of microscale thin film gold electrodes are placed directly in contact with a nucleic acid reaction mixture. A high frequency (10-40 MHz) RF potential is then applied across the electrode pair to induce a local Ohmic current within the sample and drive the sample temperature to increase by Joule heating. The temperature increase is sustainable in that it can be generated for several hours of constant use without generating any pH change to the buffer or any microscopically observable gaseous electrolysis by-products. Using this RF Joule heating approach, we demonstrate successful direct thermal amplification using two popular NAA biochemical reactions: loop-mediated isothermal amplification and polymerase chain reaction. Our results demonstrate that a simple microscale electrode structure can be used for thermal regulation for NAA reactions without observable electrolytic reactions, minimal enzyme activity loss and sustained (>50 h use per device) continuous operations without electrode delamination. As such, E-NAAMP offers substantial miniaturization of the heating elements for use in microfluidic or miniaturized NAA reaction systems.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-mediated cancers, particularly cervical and oropharyngeal cancer, lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide each year. Simple, straightforward, and cost-effective detection of HPV DNA from patients with these malignancies or at risk for developing cancer can improve outcomes for patients, serving as a tool for early detection, monitoring treatment response, and assessment of cancer recurrence. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a simple and robust method for the detection and amplification of DNA in a single tube, utilizing the Bst strand-displacing DNA polymerase. We developed a workflow utilizing LAMP for the visual detection of HPV DNA in oral rinses. We demonstrate that LAMP is able to easily discriminate between two of the high-risk HPV subtypes, HPV16 and HPV18. We then utilized LAMP to visually detect HPV DNA directly from cells in oral rinses, mimicking a clinical inspired scenario of detecting HPV DNA in clinical samples. Our results suggest that LAMP is a robust, colorimetric assay method for the detection of HPV DNA in complex cellular samples, and further development is warranted to bring LAMP into the clinic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and it remains a significant health problem in several parts of the world. Early and accurate diagnosis of this disease is therefore essential. Previously published loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) protocols for detecting mycobacterial species used conventional primers targeting the 16S rRNA, gyrB and insertion sequence genes. METHODS In this study, we conducted a LAMP assay for leprosy and compared it with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) and conventional PCR assays to determine the efficiency, sensitivity and specificity of each technique. We chose conserved sequence RLEP as a suitable molecular target for assays. RESULTS The LAMP assay provided rapid and accurate results, confirming leprosy in 91/110 clinical skin tissue samples from leprosy patients and amplifying the target pathogen in <60 min at 65 °C. The assay was more sensitive than conventional PCR and more straightforward and faster than the q-PCR assay. CONCLUSIONS The LAMP assay has the potential for developing quicker, more accessible visual methods for the detection of M. leprae, which will enable early diagnosis and treatment and prevent further infection in endemic areas.

Abstract
Chlorophyllum molybdites is a kind of common poisonous mushroom in China that is widely distributed in different areas. Food poisoning caused by accidentally eating C. molybdites has become more frequent in recent years. In 2019, there were 55 food poisoning incidents caused by eating this mushroom in China. Mushroom poisoning continues to be a common health issue of global concern. When mushroom poisoning occurs, an effective, simple, and rapid detection method is required for accurate clinical treatment or forensic analysis. For the first time, we established a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the visual detection of C. molybdites. A set of specific LAMP primers was designed, and the specificity was confirmed against 43 different mushroom species. The LAMP method could detect as low as 1 pg of genomic DNA. Boiled mushrooms and artificial gastric-digested mushroom samples were prepared to test the applicability of the method, and the results showed that as low as 1% C. molybdites in boiled and digested samples could be successfully detected. The LAMP method can also be completed within 45 min, and the reaction results could be directly observed based on a color change under daylight by the naked eye. Therefore, the LAMP assay established in this study provides an accurate, sensitive, rapid, and low-cost method for the detection of C. molybdites.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide and most cases occur in developing countries. Detection of high-risk (HR) HPV, the etiologic agent of cervical cancer, is a primary screening method for cervical cancer. However, the current gold standard for HPV detection, real-time PCR, is expensive, time-consuming, and instrumentation-intensive. A rapid, low-cost HPV detection method is needed for cervical cancer screening in low-resource settings. We previously developed a digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification (dLAMP) assay for rapid, quantitative detection of nucleic acids without the need for thermocycling. This assay employs a microfluidic self-digitization chip to automatically digitize a sample into an array of nanoliter wells in a simple assay format. Here we evaluate the dLAMP assay and self-digitization chip for detection of the commonly tested 14 high-risk HPVs in clinical samples. The dLAMP platform provided reliable genotyping and quantitative detection of the 14 high-risk HPVs with high sensitivity, demonstrating its potential for simple, rapid, and low-cost diagnosis of HPV infection.

Abstract
HPV16 infection is found in more than 50 % of cervical cancer cases worldwide, triggering the development of numerous molecular techniques for viral diagnosis. The present study focuses on the development of a colorimetric IsoPCR for HPV16 DNA detection. The methodology combines the advantages of PCR and LAMP, while the most significant aspect of the new established methodology is the visual detection of amplification products through hydroxynapthol blue dye, thus minimizing the time and labor needed. An experimental cut-off value was tested through reconstitution experiments, while the specificity was evaluated by assessing clinical samples. The analytical sensitivity of the new colorimetric IsoPCR was found to be 0.1 viral DNA copy per reaction, while the specificity was 100 % for the detection of HPV16 DNA. The assay enabled the amplification of viral DNA in cases with viral load lower than 1 copy. In conclusion, the new established colorimetric IsoPCR can be regarded as an attractive molecular tool that facilitates the specific, rapid and highly sensitive visual detection of HPV16 DNA even at the very early stages of viral infection.

Abstract
Recent outbreaks of African swine fever virus (ASFV) have seen the movement of this virus into multiple new regions with devastating impact. Many of these outbreaks are occurring in remote, or resource-limited areas, that do not have access to molecular laboratories. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid point of care test that can overcome a range of inhibitors. We outline further development of a real-time ASFV LAMP, including field verification during an outbreak in Timor-Leste. To increase field applicability, the extraction step was removed and an internal amplification control (IAC) was implemented. Assay performance was assessed in six different sample matrices and verified for a range of clinical samples. A LAMP detection limit of 400 copies/rxn was determined based on synthetic positive control spikes. A colourmetric LAMP assay was also assessed on serum samples. Comparison of the LAMP assay to a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed on clinical ASFV samples, using both serum and oral/rectal swabs, with a substantial level of agreement observed. The further verification of the ASFV LAMP assay, removal of extraction step, implementation of an IAC and the assessment of a range of sample matrix, further support the use of this assay for rapid in-field detection of ASFV.

Abstract
Carcinoma precursor lesion caused by persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 is known as a principal inducer of cervical cancer. Therefore, rapid and effective detection of HPV-16 and HPV-18 infection at early stage is an important strategy for preventing such disease. In this study, a novel duplex nanoparticle-assisted polymerase chain reaction (nanoPCR) assay was developed to detect both of the two genotypes simultaneously. Two pairs of primers for nanoPCR were designed based on the conserved region within the early 6 (E6) gene of HPV-16 and HPV-18, respectively. After optimizing reaction conditions, the nanoPCR assay displayed 10-fold more sensitive than that of conventional PCR and showed high specificity. The detection limit of nanoPCR was 1.7 × 101 copies/μL for HPV-16, 1.2 × 102 copies/μL for HPV-18, and no cross-reaction was detected after using other viruses or HPV subtypes as templates. Of 209 clinical samples collected from patients, as also confirmed by sequencing, the nanoPCR method gave consistent results with conventional PCR assay: 7 positives for HPV-16, 4 positives for HPV-18, and no co-infection. Here is the first report to introduce a reproducible nanoPCR assay for detecting HPV DNA with high sensitivity and specificity, which may point out a useful diagnostic tool for potential clinical application.
