Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133246. [PMID: 38908633 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133246] [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: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
The mixed infection of duck hepatitis A virus 3 (DHAV-3) and novel duck reovirus (NDRV) has caused significant losses to the global duck farming industry. On-site point-of-care testing of viruses plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis, prevention, and disease control. Here, we proposed an RPA-CRISPR Cas12a/Cas13a one-pot strategy (DRCFS) for rapid and simultaneous detection of DHAV-3 and NDRV. This method integrated the reaction of RPA and CRISPR Cas12a/Cas13a in a single tube, eliminating the need to open the lid during the intermediate processes and thereby avoiding aerosol contamination. On this basis, we proposed a dual RPA-CRISPR strategy coupled with a lateral flow analysis platform (DRC-LFA). This circumvented the necessity for complex instruments, enabling direct visual interpretation of results, making the test more accessible and user-friendly. Our findings demonstrated that the DRCFS method could detect DHAV-3 and NDRV at concentrations as low as 100 copy/μL, while DRC-LFA achieved limit of 101 copies/μL within 35 min. Furthermore, when DRCFS, DRC-LFA, and qPCR were employed collectively for clinical samples analysis, all three methods yielded consistent results. The specificity, sensitivity, and user-friendly of these methods rendered them invaluable for on-site virus detection.

Abstract
The development of ultrasensitive and visual methods is of great significance for molecular diagnosis at the point-of-care. In this study, we have integrated recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with the CRISPR-Cas12a system to design an ultrasensitive strategy for visual nucleic acid testing. RPA is utilized to amplify the target nucleic acid, producing amplicons that activate the single-stranded DNase property of CRISPR-Cas12a. The activated CRISPR-Cas12a then degrades the single-stranded DNA on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), releasing immobilized GOx from the MNPs which catalyses the chromogenic substrate. The developed method exhibits remarkable sensitivity, successfully detecting as low as 10 aM (∼6 copies per μL) of the target nucleic acid by visual colour changes in solution. The instrumental limit of detection is calculated to be 2.86 aM (∼2 copies per μL), comparable to the sensitivity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Importantly, this approach only requires isothermal incubation operation and does not involve costly instruments. The method has been validated by visually detecting the SARS-CoV-2 RNA gene fragment within 50 minutes. With its ultrasensitivity, simplicity of operation, and potential for integration into a point-of-care detection kit, this strategy holds great promise for nucleic acid testing in various settings.

Abstract
A growing number of applications require simultaneous detection of multiplexed nucleic acid targets in a single reaction, which enables higher information density in combination with reduced assay time and cost. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and the CRISPR-Cas system have broad applications for the detection of nucleic acids due to their strong specificity, high sensitivity, and excellent programmability. However, realizing multiplexed detection is still challenging for the CRISPR-Cas system due to the nonspecific collateral cleavage activity, limited signal reporting strategies, and possible cross-reactions. In this review, we summarize the principles, strategies, and features of multiplexed detection based on the CRISPR-Cas system and further discuss the challenges and perspective.

Abstract
Nucleic acids are essential biomarkers in molecular diagnostics. The CRISPR/Cas system has been widely used for nucleic acid detection. Moreover, canonical CRISPR/Cas12a based biosensors can specifically recognize and cleave target DNA, as well as single-strand DNA serving as reporter probe, which have become a super star in recent years in the field of nucleic acid detection due to its high specificity, universal programmability and simple operation. However, canonical CRISPR/Cas12a based biosensors are hard to meet the requirements of higher sensitivity, higher specificity, higher efficiency, larger target scope, easier operation, multiplexing, low cost and diversified signal reading. Then, advanced non-canonical CRISPR/Cas12a based biosensors emerge. In this review, applications of non-canonical CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensors in nucleic acid detection are summarized. And the principles, peculiarities, performances and perspectives of these non-canonical CRISPR/Cas12a based biosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
The African swine fever virus (ASFV) and its variants have induced substantial economic losses in China, prompting a critical need for efficient detection methods. Several PCR-based methods have been developed to discriminate between wild-type ASFV and gene-deleted variants. However, the requirement for sophisticated equipment and skilled operators limits their use in field settings. Here, we developed a CRISPR-Cas12b/Cas13a-based detection assay that can identify ASFV variants with minimal equipment requirements and a short turnaround time. The assay utilizes the distinct DNA/RNA collateral cleavage preferences of Cas12b/Cas13a to detect two amplified targets from multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) in a single tube, and the results can be visualized through fluorescent or lateral-flow readouts. When tested with clinical samples in field settings, our assay successfully detected all ASFV-positive samples in less than 60 min. This assay provides a rapid on-site surveillance tool for detecting ASFV and its emerging variants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV) and Feline calicivirus (FCV) are the primary co-infecting pathogens that cause upper respiratory tract disease in cats. However, there are currently no visual detection assays available for on-site testing. Here, we develop an ultrasensitive and visual detection method based on dual recombinase polymerase amplification (dRPA) reaction and the hybrid Cas12a/Cas13a trans-cleavage activities in a one-tube reaction system, referred to as one-tube dRPA-Cas12a/Cas13a assay. RESULTS The recombinant plasmid DNAs, crRNAs, and RPA oligonucleotides targeting the FCV ORF1 gene and FHV-1 TK gene were meticulously prepared. Subsequently, dual RPA reactions were performed followed by screening of essential reaction components for hybrid CRISPR-Cas12a (targeting the FHV-1 TK gene) and CRISPR-Cas13a (targeting the FCV ORF1 gene) trans-cleavage reaction. As a result, we successfully established an ultra-sensitive and visually detectable method for simultaneous detection of FCV and FHV-1 nucleic acids using dRPA and CRISPR/Cas-powered technology in one-tube reaction system. Visual readouts were displayed using either a fluorescence detector (Fluor-based assay) or lateral flow dipsticks (LDF-based assay). As expected, this optimized assay exhibited high specificity towards only FHV-1 and FCV without cross-reactivity with other feline pathogens while achieving accurate detection for both targets with limit of detection at 2.4 × 10- 1 copies/μL for the FHV-1 TK gene and 5.5 copies/μL for the FCV ORF1 gene, respectively. Furthermore, field detection was conducted using the dRPA-Cas12a/Cas13a assay and the reference real-time PCR methods for 56 clinical samples collected from cats with URTD. Comparatively, the results of Fluor-based assay were in exceptional concordance with the reference real-time PCR methods, resulting in high sensitivity (100% for both FHV-1 and FCV), specificity (100% for both FHV-1 and FCV), as well as consistency (Kappa values were 1.00 for FHV-1 and FCV). However, several discordant results for FHV-1 detection were observed by LDF-based assay, which suggests its prudent use and interpretaion for clinical detection. In spite of this, incorporating dRPA-Cas12a/Cas13a assay and visual readouts will facilitate rapid and accurate detection of FHV-1 and FCV in resource-limited settings. CONCLUSIONS The one-tube dRPA-Cas12a/Cas13a assay enables simultaneously ultrasensitive and visual detection of FHV-1 and FCV with user-friendly modality, providing unparalleled convenience for FHV-1 and FCV co-infection surveillance and decision-making of URTD management.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification tests for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 have been an important testing mechanism for the COVID-19 pandemic. While these traditional nucleic acid diagnostic methods are highly sensitive and selective, they are not suited to home or clinic-based uses. Comparatively, rapid antigen tests are cost-effective and user friendly but lack in sensitivity and specificity. Here we report on the development of a one-pot, duplexed reverse transcriptase recombinase polymerase amplification SARS-CoV-2 assay with MS2 bacteriophage as a full process control. Detection is carried out with either real-time fluorescence or lateral flow readout with an analytical sensitivity of 50 copies per reaction. Unlike previously published assays, the RNA-based MS2 bacteriophage control reports on successful operation of lysis, reverse transcription, and amplification. This SARS-CoV-2 assay features highly sensitive detection, visual readout through an LFA strip, results in less than 25 minutes, minimal instrumentation, and a useful process internal control to rule out false negative test results.

Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas enzymes have been widely applied for biosensor development, combined with various isothermal amplification strategies (IAS) to boost sensitivity and specificity. Currently, the unstable assay and tedious manipulation usually hinder its practical applications. Here, a Cas14a1-advanced LAMP assay (CALA) combined with Rapid Extraction of Bacterial Genomic DNA (REBGD) is proposed for pathogen detection. For rapid CALA, a single stranded fluorescence reporter and ssDNA-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used as signal indicators to establish ultrasensitive and visual platforms. This assay displays precise detection of bacteria, which can achieve an ultrasensitive limit of detection (LOD) 10 aM target genomic DNA. Furthermore, the high reliability of pathogen diagnostic for contrived samples is validated through the rapid visual CALA platform, demonstrating the promising practical testing availability of pathogen detection.

Ov-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay for the detection of Opisthorchis viverrini infection in field-collected human feces. Parasit Vectors 2024; 17:80. [PMID: 38383404 PMCID: PMC10882828 DOI: 10.1186/s13071-024-06134-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Opisthorchis viverrini infection is traditionally diagnosed using the Kato-Katz method and formalin ethyl-acetate concentration technique. However, the limited sensitivity and specificity of these techniques have prompted the exploration of various molecular approaches, such as conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR, to detect O. viverrini infection. Recently, a novel technique known as recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) (RPA-CRISPR/Cas) assay was developed as a point-of-care tool for the detection of various pathogens, including viruses and bacteria such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This technology has demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, we developed and used the RPA-CRISPR/Cas assay to detect O. viverrini infection in field-collected human feces. METHODS To detect O. viverrini infection in fecal samples, we developed a CRISPR/Cas12a (RNA-guided endonuclease) system combined with RPA (Ov-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a). Several fecal samples, both helminth-positive and helminth-negative, were used for the development and optimization of amplification conditions, CRISPR/Cas detection conditions, detection limits, and specificity of the RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay for detecting O. viverrini infection. The detection results were determined using a real-time PCR system based on fluorescence values. Additionally, as the reporter was labeled with fluorescein, the detection results were visually inspected using an ultraviolet (UV) transilluminator. A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the optimal cutoff value for fluorescence detection. The diagnostic performance, including sensitivity and specificity, of the Ov-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay was evaluated on the basis of comparison with standard methods. RESULTS The Ov-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay exhibited high specificity for detecting O. viverrini DNA. On the basis of the detection limit, the assay could detect O. viverrini DNA at concentrations as low as 10-1 ng using the real-time PCR system. However, in this method, visual inspection under UV light required a minimum concentration of 1 ng. To validate the Ov-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay, 121 field-collected fecal samples were analyzed. Microscopic examination revealed that 29 samples were positive for O. viverrini-like eggs. Of these, 18 were confirmed as true positives on the basis of the Ov-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay and microscopic examination, whereas 11 samples were determined as positive solely via microscopic examination, indicating the possibility of other minute intestinal fluke infections. CONCLUSIONS The Ov-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay developed in this study can successfully detect O. viverrini infection in field-collected feces. Due to the high specificity of the assay reported in this study, it can be used as an alternative approach to confirm O. viverrini infection, marking an initial step in the development of point-of-care diagnosis.

Zhu XX, Wang YS, Li SJ, Peng RQ, Wen X, Peng H, Shi QS, Zhou G, Xie XB, Wang J. Rapid detection of mexX in Pseudomonas aeruginosa based on CRISPR-Cas13a coupled with recombinase polymerase amplification. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1341179. [PMID: 38357344 PMCID: PMC10864651 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1341179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
The principal pathogen responsible for chronic urinary tract infections, immunocompromised hosts, and cystic fibrosis patients is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is difficult to eradicate. Due to the extensive use of antibiotics, multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa has evolved, complicating clinical therapy. Therefore, a rapid and efficient approach for detecting P. aeruginosa strains and their resistance genes is necessary for early clinical diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This study combines recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-association protein 13a (CRISPR-Cas13a) to establish a one-tube and two-step reaction systems for detecting the mexX gene in P. aeruginosa. The test times for one-tube and two-step RPA-Cas13a methods were 5 and 40 min (including a 30 min RPA amplification reaction), respectively. Both methods outperform Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reactions (qRT-PCR) and traditional PCR. The limit of detection (LoD) of P. aeruginosa genome in one-tube and two-step RPA-Cas13a is 10 aM and 1 aM, respectively. Meanwhile, the designed primers have a high specificity for P. aeruginosa mexX gene. These two methods were also verified with actual samples isolated from industrial settings and demonstrated great accuracy. Furthermore, the results of the two-step RPA-Cas13a assay could also be visualized using a commercial lateral flow dipstick with a LoD of 10 fM, which is a useful adjunt to the gold-standard qRT-PCR assay in field detection. Taken together, the procedure developed in this study using RPA and CRISPR-Cas13a provides a simple and fast way for detecting resistance genes.

Parasit Vectors 2024; 17:14. [PMID: 38191422 PMCID: PMC10775430 DOI: 10.1186/s13071-023-06106-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite, widely recognized as the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infection (STI) globally. This infection is linked to various complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and an increased risk of acquiring HIV. Current molecular detection methods for T. vaginalis are often costly and technically challenging. METHODS We developed a novel detection method for T. vaginalis using a multi-enzyme isothermal rapid amplification-clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (MIRA-CRISPR)/Cas13a-lateral flow device (LFD). This assay targets the repeated DNA sequence (GenBank: L23861.1) of T. vaginalis and is performed at a constant temperature of 37 °C for approximately 1 hour. RESULTS The detection limit of genomic DNA (gDNA) using our protocol was 1 × 10-4 ng/μl. Specificity was confirmed by the absence of cross-reaction with gDNA from various other microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus taiwanensis, Escherichia coli, Monilia albicans, Giardia lamblia, or Toxoplasma gondii. Among 30 clinical samples tested, the positive rates of T. vaginalis detection were 33.33% (10/30) by wet mount microscopy, 40% (12/30) by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 40% (12/30) by MIRA-CRISPR/Cas13a-LFD, and 40% (12/30) by the culture method. Compared with the culture method, the gold standard for diagnosing trichomoniasis, wet mount microscopy showed a sensitivity of 83.3% and moderate diagnostic agreement (kappa value = 0.87). Both nested PCR and MIRA-CRISPR/Cas13a-LFD exhibited 100% sensitivity and excellent diagnostic agreement (kappa value = 1). CONCLUSIONS The MIRA-CRISPR/Cas13a-LFD method is a convenient, rapid, stable, and accurate diagnostic tool for detecting T. vaginalis. This method has the potential to enhance the diagnosis and management of vaginitis, offering a significant improvement over existing diagnostic techniques.

Abstract
Exosomes are essential indicators of molecular mechanisms involved in interacting with cancer cells and the tumor environment. As nanostructures based on lipids and nucleic acids, exosomes provide a communication pathway for information transfer by transporting biomolecules from the target cell to other cells. Importantly, these extracellular vesicles are released into the bloodstream by the most invasive cells, i. e., cancer cells; in this way, they could be considered a promising specific biomarker for cancer diagnosis. In this matter, CRISPR-Cas systems and microfluidic approaches could be considered practical tools for cancer diagnosis and understanding cancer biology. CRISPR-Cas systems, as a genome editing approach, provide a way to inactivate or even remove a target gene from the cell without affecting intracellular mechanisms. These practical systems provide vital information about the factors involved in cancer development that could lead to more effective cancer treatment. Meanwhile, microfluidic approaches can also significantly benefit cancer research due to their proper sensitivity, high throughput, low material consumption, low cost, and advanced spatial and temporal control. Thereby, employing CRISPR-Cas- and microfluidics-based approaches toward exosome monitoring could be considered a valuable source of information for cancer therapy and diagnosis. This review assesses the recent progress in these promising diagnosis approaches toward accurate cancer therapy and in-depth study of cancer cell behavior.

Tandem CRISPR nucleases-based lateral flow assay for amplification-free miRNA detection via the designed "locked RNA/DNA" as fuels. Talanta 2024; 266:124995.

Abstract
Currently, available biosensors based on CRISPR/Cas typically depend on coupling with nucleic acid amplification technologies to enhance their sensitivity. However, this approach often involves intricate amplification processes, which could be time-consuming and susceptible to contamination. In addition, signal readouts often require sophisticated and cumbersome equipment, obstructing the applicability of CRISPR/Cas assays in resource-limited regions. Herein, a tandem CRISPR/Cas13a/Cas12a mechanism (tanCRISPR) has been developed via the designed "Locked RNA/DNA" probe as fuels for the trans-cleavage nucleic acid of Cas13a and activated nucleic acid of Cas12a. Meanwhile, a lateral flow assay (LFA) is designed to combine with this tandem CRISPR/Cas13a/Cas12a mechanism (termed tanCRISPR-LFA), realizing the portable monitoring of miRNA-21. The tanCRISPR could realize the limit of detection at pM levels (266 folds lower than Cas13a-based miRNA testing alone) without the resort to target amplification procedures. Furthermore, the miRNA-21 levels of MDA-MB-231 cell extracts are sensed by tanCRISPR-LFA, which is comparable to qRT-PCR. With the virtues of portability, rapidity, sensitivity, and low cost, tanCRISPR-LFA is amenable for CRISPR/Cas-based biosensing and potential applications in the clinical diagnosis of miRNA-associated diseases.

Abstract
Point-of-care (POC) detection is getting more and more attention in many fields due to its accuracy and on-site test property. The CRISPR/Cas12a system is endowed with excellent sensitivity, target identification specificity, and signal amplification ability in biosensing because of its unique trans-cleavage ability. As a result, a lot of research has been made to develop CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensors. In this review, we focused on signal readout strategies and summarized recent sensitivity-improving strategies in fluorescence, colorimetric, and electrochemical signaling. Then we introduced novel portability-improving strategies based on lateral flow assays (LFAs), microfluidic chips, simplified instruments, and one-pot design. In the end, we also provide our outlook for the future development of CRISPR/Cas12a biosensors.

Abstract
Introduction Due to the existence of grass carp reovirus (GCRV), grass carp hemorrhagic disease occurs frequently, and its high pathogenicity and infectivity are great challenges to the aquaculture industry. As a highly pathogenic pathogen, the outbreak of hemorrhagic disease often causes tremendous economic losses. Therefore, it is important to rapidly and accurately detect GCRV on site to control timely. Methods In this study, recombinant enzyme amplification (RPA) combined with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas13a system was employed to establish a method to detect the vp7 gene of grass carp reovirus type 1. This method can be adopted for judging the results by collecting fluorescence signal, ultraviolet excitation visual fluorescence and test strip. Results Combined with the RPA amplification experiment, the detection limit of the RPA-CRISPR method can reach 7.2 × 101 copies/μL of vp7 gene per reaction, and the detection process can be completed within 1 h. In addition, this method had no cross-reaction with the other 11 common aquatic pathogens. Then, the performance of the RPA-CRISPR/Cas13a detection method was evaluated by comparing it with the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection method of clinical samples. The results of RPA-CRISPR/Cas13a detection were shown to be in consistence with the results obtained from the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection. The coincidence rate of this method with 26 GCRV clinical samples was 92.31%. Discussion In summary, this method has high sensitivity, specificity and on-site practicability for detecting GCRV type 1, and has great application potential in on-site GCRV monitoring.

Abstract
The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been catastrophic to both human health and social development. Therefore, developing highly reliable and sensitive point-of-care testing (POCT) for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a priority. Among all available POCTs, the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA, also known as immunochromatography) has proved to be effective due to its accuracy, portability, convenience, and speed. In areas with a scarcity of laboratory resources and medical personnel, the LFIA provides an affordable option for the diagnosis of COVID-19. This review offers a comprehensive overview of methods for improving the sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 detection using immunochromatography based on nanotechnology, sorted according to the different detection targets (antigens, antibodies, and nucleic acids). It also looks into the performance and properties of the various sensitivity enhancement strategies, before delving into the remaining challenges in COVID-19 diagnosis through LFIA. Ultimately, it seeks to provide helpful guidance in selecting an appropriate strategy for SARS-CoV-2 immunochromatographic detection based on nanotechnology.

Abstract
Visualized gene detection based on the CRISPR-Cas12/CRISPR-Cas13 technology and lateral flow assay device (CRISPR-LFA) has shown great potential in point-of-care testing sector. Current CRISPR-LFA methodology mainly utilizes conventional immuno-based LFA test strips, which could visualize whether the reporter probe is trans-cleaved by Cas protein, indicating the target positive detection. However, conventional CRISPR-LFA usually produces false-positive results in target negative assay. Herein, a nucleic acid Chain Hybridization-based Lateral Flow Assay platform, named CHLFA, has been developed to achieve the CRISPR-CHLFA concept. Different from the conventional CRISPR-LFA, the proposed CRISPR-CHLFA system was established based on the nucleic acid hybridization between the GNP-probe embedded in test strips and ssDNA (or ssRNA) reporter from CRISPR (LbaCas12a or LbuCas13a) reaction, which eliminated the requirement of immunoreaction in conventional immuno-based LFA. The assay realized the detection of 1-10 copy of target gene per reaction within 50 min. The CRISPR-CHLFA system achieved highly accurate visual detection of target negative samples, thus overcoming the false-positive problem that often produced in assays using conventional CRISPR-LFA. The CRISPR-CHLFA platform was further adopted for the visual detection of marker gene from SASR-CoV-2 Omicron variant and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), respectively, and 100% accuracy for the analysis of clinical specimens (45 SASR-CoV-2 specimens and 20 MTB specimens) was obtained. The proposed CRISPR-CHLFA system could provide an alternative platform for the development of POCT biosensors and can be widely adopted in accurate and visualized gene detection.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive diagnostics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is of utmost importance to control the widespread coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) upsurge. This study demonstrated a novel one-pot surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based immunoassay to detect SARS-CoV-2, without any washing process using a portable Raman spectrometer. The SERS-immune assay was designed using a regular digital versatile disk (DVD) substrate integrated with Raman reporter labeled silver nanoparticles for double clamping effects. The disks were molded to form nanopillar arrays and coated with silver film to enhance the sensitivity of immunoassay. The SERS platform demonstrated a limit of detection (LoD) up to 50 pg mL-1 for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and virus-like-particle (VLP) protein in phosphate buffer saline within a turnaround time of 20 minutes. Moreover, VLP protein spiked in untreated saliva achieved an LoD of 400 pg mL-1, providing a cycle threshold (Ct) value range of 30-32, closer to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results (35-40) and higher than the commercial rapid antigen tests, ranging from 25-28. Therefore, the developed one-pot SERS based biosensor exhibited highly sensitive and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2, which could be a potential point-of-care platform for early and cost-effective diagnosis of the COVID-19 virus.

He S. No-cost ballpoint pen dispenser for lateral flow assays. Talanta 2023; 263:124742. [PMID: 37257236 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124742] [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: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
We have developed a no-cost, lightweight, human-powered dispenser using an empty ballpoint pen. Used in lateral flow assays, this dispenser restricts antibody deposition to narrow zones, allowing freehand drawing of test and control lines. The lines can be drawn in widths ranging from 0.15 to 1.00 mm. Naphthol green B, a compatible stain, was used to label antibody solutions and certify handwriting traces. Using human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) as a model antigen, we demonstrated that the pen dispenser can imprint antibodies on nitrocellulose membranes without affecting their microstructure and chromatographic function. A lateral flow assay using the pen dispenser detected HCG at 0.1 μg/mL, comparable to the sensitivity of standard tests using traditional benchtop dispensers.

RNA extraction-free workflow integrated with a single-tube CRISPR-Cas-based colorimetric assay for rapid SARS-CoV-2 detection in different environmental matrices. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131487. [PMID: 37148798 PMCID: PMC10125216 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
On-site environmental surveillance of viruses is increasingly important for infection prevention and pandemic control. Herein, we report a facile single-tube colorimetric assay for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) from environmental compartments. Using glycerol as the phase separation additive, reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA), CRISPR-Cas system activation, G-quadruplex (G4) cleavage, and G4-based colorimetric reaction were performed in a single tube. To further simplify the test, viral RNA genomes used for the one-tube assay were obtained via acid/base treatment without further purification. The whole assay from sampling to visual readout was completed within 30 min at a constant temperature without the need for sophisticated instruments. Coupling the RT-RPA to CRISPR-Cas improved the reliability by avoiding false positive results. Non-labeled cost-effective G4-based colorimetric systems are highly sensitive to CRISPR-Cas cleavage events, and the proposed assay reached the limit of detection of 0.84 copies/µL. Moreover, environmental samples from contaminated surfaces and wastewater were analyzed using this facile colorimetric assay. Given its simplicity, sensitivity, specificity, and cost-effectiveness, our proposed colorimetric assay is highly promising for applications in on-site environmental surveillance of viruses.

A portable colorimetric point-of-care testing platform for MicroRNA detection based on programmable entropy-driven dynamic DNA network modulated DNA-gold nanoparticle hybrid hydrogel film. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 225:115073. [PMID: 36701948 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) platforms for microRNA (miRNA) detection have attracted considerable attention in recent years, due to the increasingly important role of miRNA as biomarkers for the diagnosis of many diseases, such as cancers. However, several limitations such as the requirement of enzyme-related amplification system, expensive preservation cost, sophisticated analysis instruments and tedious operations of conventional miRNA biosensing devices severely hinder their widespread applications. In this work, a portable and smart colorimetric analysis platform was developed by employing the ultrathin DNA-gold nanoparticle (AuNP) hybrid hydrogel film as the signaling unit and the enzyme-free entropy-driven dynamic DNA network (EDN) as the signal converter and amplification unit. By programming the DNA sequences of the EDN, the EDN could respond to a specific miRNA, with miRNA-155 or miRNA-21 as the model target, and release a converter DNA with amplified concentration to further trigger the release of AuNPs from the hydrogel film as a colorimetric signal output. To avoid the use of sophisticated spectral instruments, digital analysis based on primary three-color channel (R/G/B) was further introduced by using user-friendly camera and image processing software, and a detection limit at pM level was achieved. Moreover, by introducing H2O2-mediated AuNPs enlargement procedure in the colorimetric analysis platform, the detection limit for miRNA target could further be enhanced to fM level. The POCT platform is also portable and storable with a good storage stability for at least 45 days, suggesting its great potential in practical diagnosis applications.

Abstract
The global corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been announced a pandemic outbreak, and has threatened human life and health seriously. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as its causative pathogen, is widely detected in the screening of COVID-19 patients, infected people and contaminated substances. Lateral flow assay (LFA) is a popular point-of-care detection method, possesses advantages of quick response, simple operation mode, portable device, and low cost. Based on the above advantages, LFA has been widely developed for detecting SARS-CoV-2. In this review, we summarized the articles about the sandwich mode LFA detecting SARS-CoV-2, classified according to the target detection objects indicating genes, nucleocapsid protein, spike protein, and specific antibodies of SARS-CoV-2. In each part, LFA is further classified and summarized according to different signal detection types. Additionally, the properties of the targets were introduced to clarify their detection significance. The review is expected to provide a helpful guide for LFA sensitization and marker selection of SARS-CoV-2.
