[PMID: 38609270 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342532] [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: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most abundant chemical modifications in RNA and has vital significance in cellular processes and tumor development. However, the accurate analysis of site-specific m6A modification remains a challenge. In this work, a MazF endoribonuclease activated rolling circle amplification (MazF-RCA) combined MALDI-TOF MS assay is developed for the detection of site-specific m6A-RNA. MazF endoribonuclease can specifically cleave the ACA motif, leaving methylated (m6A)CA motif intact. The intact methylated RNA can then be amplified through rolling circle amplification, and the generated reporter oligonucleotides are detected by MALDI-TOF MS. The assay exhibits good quantification ability, presenting a wide linear range (100 fM to 10 nM) with the limit-of-detection lower than 100 fM. Additionally, the assay can accurately detect methylated RNA in the presence of large amount of non-methylated RNA with a relative abundance of methylated RNA down to 0.5%. The developed assay was further applied to detect m6A-RNA spiked in MCF-7 cell RNA extracts, with the recovery rates in the range of 90.64-106.93%. The present assay provides a novel platform for the analysis of site-specific m6A-RNA at high specificity and sensitivity, which can promote the study of RNA methylation in clinical and biomedical research.

Abstract
The frequent mutations in SARS-CoV-2 significantly increase the virus's pathogenicity and transmissibility while also diminishing the effectiveness of vaccines. Consequently, assays capable of rapidly and simultaneously identifying multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants are essential for large-scale applications that aim to monitor the evolution of the virus. In this work, we propose a method combining duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted cyclic amplification with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) detection, enabling the simultaneous identification of multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants at high-throughput. Due to the high specificity of DSN, single-base mutations can be resolved by the method. With ultra-sensitive detection by MALDI-TOF MS, a limit of detection of 100 pM viral RNA fragment was demonstrated. The assay was used for simultaneous identification and typing of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants. The whole assay can be accomplished within 3 h, and the amplification is performed under constant temperature, making the technique simple in operation and efficient. It is also feasible to extend the technique to the detection of many other variants of the virus. We expect that the method can add value to the rapid screening of viral variants and can play an important role in pandemic control.

Abstract
Rapid and simple nucleic acid detection is significant for disease diagnosis and pathogen screening, especially under specific conditions. However, achieving highly sensitive and specific nucleic acid detection to meet the time and equipment demand remains technologically challenging. In this study, we proposed a magnetic separation enhanced colorimetry biosensor based on a toehold-containing three-way junction (TWJ) induced multiple isothermal exponential amplification and the CRISPR/Cas14a (C-TEC) biosensor. The TWJ template was designed as a Y-X-Y structure. In the presence of the target, the formation of toehold-containing TWJ complex induced primer extension, leading to the generation of amplified single-stranded DNA; this amplified DNA could then bind to either the free TWJ template for EXPAR reaction or the toehold of the TWJ complex for toehold-mediated strand displacement, thereby enabling the recycling of the target. The amplification products could trigger CRISPR/Cas14a for efficient trans-cleavage and release the magnetically bound gold nanoparticle probes for colorimetry detection. Using Mycobacterium tuberculosis 16S rDNA as the target, the proposed C-TEC could detect 16S rDNA down to 50 fM by the naked eye and 20.71 fM by UV-vis detector at 520 nm within 90 min under optimal conditions. We successfully applied this biosensor to clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In addition, the C-TEC biosensor also showed feasibility for the detection of RNA viruses. In conclusion, the proposed C-TEC is a convenient, fast, and versatile platform for visual detection of pathogen DNA/RNA and has potential clinical applications.

Abstract
In the decade after being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been widely used as an analytical chemistry tool for the detection of large and small molecules (e.g., polymers, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, amino acids, lipids, etc.) and for clinical analysis and research (e.g., pathogen identification, genetic disorders screening, cancer diagnosis, etc.). In view of the fast development of MALDI-TOF MS in clinical usage, this review systematically summarizes the most important applications of MALDI-TOF MS in clinical analysis and research by analyzing MALDI TOF MS-related reviews collected in the Web of Science database. On the basis of the analysis of keyword co-occurrence of over 2000 review articles, four themes consisting of "pathogen identification", "disease diagnosis", "nucleic acids analysis", and "small molecules analysis" were found. For each theme, the review further outlined their application implications, analytical methods, and systems as well as limitations that need to be addressed. Overall, the review summarizes and elaborates on the clinical applications of MALDI-TOF MS, providing a comprehensive picture for researchers embarking on MALDI TOF MS-related clinical analysis and research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Symptomatic testing and asymptomatic screening for SARS-CoV-2 continue to be essential tools for mitigating virus transmission. Though COVID-19 diagnostics initially defaulted to oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal sampling, the worldwide urgency to expand testing efforts spurred innovative approaches and increased diversity of detection methods. Strengthening innovation and facilitating widespread testing remains critical for global health, especially as additional variants emerge and other mitigation strategies are recalibrated. AREAS COVERED A growing body of evidence reflects the need to expand testing efforts and further investigate the efficiency, sensitivity, and acceptability of saliva samples for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Countries have made pandemic response decisions based on resources, costs, procedures, and regional acceptability - the adoption and integration of saliva-based testing among them. Saliva has demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity while being less invasive relative to nasopharyngeal swabs, securing saliva's position as a more acceptable sample type. EXPERT OPINION Despite the accessibility and utility of saliva sampling, global implementation remains low compared to swab-based approaches. In some cases, countries have validated saliva-based methods but face challenges with testing implementation or expansion. Here, we review the localities that have demonstrated success with saliva-based SARS-CoV-2 testing approaches and can serve as models for transforming concepts into globally-implemented best practices.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. Infection in humans requires angiotensin-converting enzyme II (hACE2) as the point of entry for SARS-CoV-2. PCR testing is generally definitive but expensive, although it is highly sensitive and accurate. Biosensor-based monitoring could be a low-cost, accurate, and non-invasive approach to improve testing capacity. We develop a capacitive hACE2 biosensor for intact SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva. Laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrodes were modified with platinum nanoparticles. The quality control of LIG electrodes was performed using cyclic voltammetry. Truncated hACE2 was used as a biorecognition element and attached to the electrode surface by streptavidin-biotin coupling. Biolayer interferometry was used for qualitative interaction screening of hACE2 with UV-attenuated virions. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used for signal transduction. Truncated hACE2 binds wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and its variants with greater avidity than human coronavirus (common cold virus). The limit of detection (LoD) is estimated to be 2,960 copies/ml. The detection process usually takes less than 30 min. The strength of these features makes the hACE2 biosensor a potentially low-cost approach for screening SARS-CoV-2 in non-clinical settings with high demand for rapid testing (for example, schools and airports).
