Abstract
The escalating threat of emerging diseases, often stemming from contaminants and lethal pathogens, has precipitated a heightened demand for sophisticated diagnostic tools. Within this landscape, the functional nucleic acid (FNA) biosensor, harnessing the power of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), has emerged as a preeminent choice for target analyte detection. However, the dependence on ssDNA has raised difficulties in realizing it in biological samples. Therefore, the production of high-quality ssDNA from biological samples is critical. This review aims to discuss strategies for generating ssDNA from biological samples for integration into biosensors. Several innovative strategies for ssDNA generation have been deployed, encompassing techniques, such as asymmetric PCR, Exonuclease-PCR, isothermal amplification, biotin-streptavidin PCR, transcription-reverse transcription, ssDNA overhang generation, and urea denaturation PAGE. These approaches have been seamlessly integrated with biosensors for biological sample analysis, ushering in a new era of disease detection and monitoring. This amalgamation of ssDNA generation techniques with biosensing applications holds significant promise, not only in improving the speed and accuracy of diagnostic processes but also in fortifying the global response to deadly diseases, thereby underlining the pivotal role of cutting-edge biotechnology in public health and disease prevention.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of nucleic acids has become crucial in various fields. However, most current nucleic acid detection methods can only be used in specific scenarios, such as RT-qPCR, which relies on fluorometer for signal readout, limiting its application at home or in the field due to its high price. In this paper, a universal nucleic acid detection platform combing CRISPR/Cas12a and strand displacement amplification (CRISPR-SDA) with multiple signal readout was established to adapt to different application scenarios. Nucleocapsid protein gene of SARS-CoV-2 (N gene) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA were selected as model targets. The proposed strategy achieved the sensitivity of 53.1 fM, 0.15 pM, and 1 pM for N gene in fluorescence mode, personal glucose meter (PGM) mode and lateral flow assay (LFA) mode, respectively. It possessed the ability to differentiate single-base mismatch and the presence of salmon sperm DNA with a mass up to 105-fold of the targets did not significantly interfere with the assay signal. The general and modular design idea made CRISPR-SDA as simple as building blocks to construct nucleic acid sensing methods to meet different requirements by simply changing the SDA template and selecting suitable signal report probes, which was expected to find a breadth of applications in nucleic acids detection.

Abstract
Herein, a nucleic acid assay based on autocatalytic hairpin assembly (ACHA) was proposed. In this system, two split G-quadruplex sequences were integrated into H1 and H2, respectively. And a DNA strand with the same sequence to target DNA was integrated into the assistant hairpin H3. In the presence of target DNA, the hairpin structure of H1 was opened and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) was activated, and then a series of DNA assembly steps based on the toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement were triggered and the product H1-H2 with sticky ends on both sides was formed. On the one side of H1-H2, the split two G-quadruplex sequences were close enough to form the intact G-quadruplex for the signal readout. At the same time, two sticky ends on the other side of H1-H2 hybridized with H3 and a new sticky end with the sequence same to the target DNA was exposed, which can immediately trigger the autocatalytic hairpin assembly reaction, and then the reaction rate of CHA was effectively accelerated and the colorimetric signal was significantly amplified. This ACHA signal amplified strategy has been successfully applied for the rapid and colorimetric nucleic acid detection.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA), crucial non-coding RNAs, have emerged as key biomarkers in molecular diagnostics, prognosis, and personalized medicine due to their significant role in gene expression regulation. Salivary miRNA, in particular, stands out for its non-invasive collection method and ease of accessibility, offering promising avenues for the development of point-of-care diagnostics for a spectrum of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious diseases. Such development promises rapid and precise diagnosis, enabling timely treatment. Despite significant advancements in salivary miRNA-based testing, challenges persist in the quantification, multiplexing, sensitivity, and specificity, particularly for miRNA at low concentrations in complex biological mixtures. This work delves into these challenges, focusing on the development and application of salivary miRNA tests for point-of-care use. We explore the biogenesis of salivary miRNA and analyze their quantitative expression and their disease relevance in cancer, infection, and neurodegenerative disorders. We also examined recent progress in miRNA extraction, amplification, and multiplexed detection methods. This study offers a comprehensive view of the development of salivary miRNA-based point-of-care testing (POCT). Its successful advancement could revolutionize the early detection, monitoring, and management of various conditions, enhancing healthcare outcomes.

Abstract
Most electroanalytical detection schemes for DNA markers require considerable time and effort from expert personnel to thoroughly follow the analysis and obtain reliable outcomes. This work aims to present an electrochemical assay performed inside a small card-based platform powered by microfluidic manipulation, requiring minimal human intervention and consumables. The assay couples a sample/signal dual amplification and DNA-modified magnetic particles for the detection of DNA amplification products. Particularly, the sul1 and sul4 genes involved in the resistance against sulfonamide antibiotics were analyzed. As recognized by the World Health Organization, antimicrobial resistance threatens global public health by hampering medication efficacy against infections. Consequently, analytical methods for the determination of such genes in environmental and clinical matrices are imperative. Herein, the resistance genes were extracted from E. coli cells and amplified using an enzyme-assisted isothermal amplification at 37 °C. The amplification products were analyzed in an easily-produced, low-cost, card-based set-up implementing a microfluidic system, demanding limited manual work and small sample volumes. The target amplicon was thus captured and isolated using versatile DNA-modified magnetic beads injected into the microchannel and exposed to the various reagents in a continuously controlled microfluidic flow. After the optimization of the efficiency of each phase of the assay, the platform achieved limits of detections of 44.2 pmol L-1 for sul1 and 48.5 pmol L-1 for sul4, and was able to detect down to ≥500-fold diluted amplification products of sul1 extracted from E. coli living cells in around 1 h, thus enabling numerous end-point analyses with a single amplification reaction.

Abstract
The available heavy metals in soil samples can cause the direct toxicity on ecosystems, plants, and human health. Traditional chemical extraction and recombinant bacterial methods for the available heavy metals assay often suffer from inaccuracy and poor specificity. In this work, we construct half adder and half subtractor molecular logic gates with molecular-level biocomputation capabilities for the intelligent sensing of the available lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). The available Pb and Cd can cleave DNAzyme sequences to release the trigger DNA, which can activate the hairpin probe assembly in the logic system. This multifunctional logic system can not only achieve the intelligent recognition of the available Pb and Cd according to the truth tables, but also can realize the simultaneous quantification with high sensitivity, with the detection limits of 2.8 pM and 25.6 pM, respectively. The logic biosensor is robust and has been applied to determination of the available Pb and Cd in soil samples with good accuracy and reliability. The relative error (Re) between the logic biosensor and the DTPA + ICP-MS method was from -8.1 % to 7.9 %. With the advantages of programmability, scalability, and multicomputing capacity, the molecular logic system can provide a simple, rapid, and smart method for intelligent monitoring of the available Pb and Cd in environmental samples.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a major malignant cancer with low survival rates, and early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Herein, a biosensing platform that is self-powered derived from a capacitor-coupled EBFC has been developed for ultra-sensitive real-time identification of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) with the assistance of a mobile phone. The flexible substrate of the platform is prepared on a carbon paper modified with graphdiyne and gold nanoparticles. The biosensor employs DNAzyme-mediated dual strand displacement amplification, which enhances the signal output intensity of the EBFC and improves selectivity. The coupling of the capacitor with the EBFC significantly amplifies the sensing signal, causing a 10.6-fold surge in current respond and further improving the sensitivity of the sensing platform. The established detection approach demonstrates a linear relationship varied from 0.0001 to 10,000 pM, with a sensitivity down to 32.3 aM as the minimum detectable limit, which has been effectively utilized for detecting miRNA-21 in practical samples. This sensing system provides strong support for the construction of portable detection devices, and the strategy of the platform construction provides an effective method for ultra-sensitive and accurate detection of miRNA, holding great potential in clinical diagnosis, prognosis evaluation, and drug screening for cancer.

Abstract
Early tumor diagnosis is crucial to successful treatment. Earlier studies have shown that microRNA is a biomarker for early tumor diagnosis. The development of highly sensitive miRNA detection methods, especially in living cells, plays an indispensable role for early diagnosis and treatment of tumor. Although the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA)-based miRNA analysis strategy is commonly used for disease diagnosis, further application of CHA is hindered due to its low amplification efficiency and low tumor recognition contrast. To address these limitations, we propose a dual-signal amplification strategy based on CHA and APE1-assisted amplification, enabling highly sensitive and high-contrast miRNA imaging. The miR-221 was selected as a target model. This dual-signal amplification strategy has exhibited high amplification efficiency, which could analyze miRNA as low as 21 fM. This strategy also exhibited high specificity, which could distinguish target miRNA and nontarget with single-base differences. Moreover, this method showed significant potential for practical application, as it could successfully distinguish the expression difference of miR-221 in the plasma samples of normal people and patients. Most importantly, the expression level of the APE1 enzyme in tumor cells is higher than that in normal cells, allowing this strategy to sensitively and specifically image miRNA within tumor cells. This proposed method has also been successfully used to indicate fluctuations of intracellular miRNA and to distinguish miRNA expression between normal cells and cancer cells with high contrast. We anticipate that this method will provide fresh insights and can be a powerful tool for tumor diagnosis and treatment based on miRNA analysis.

Abstract
Nucleic acids amplification is a widely used technique utilized for different manipulations with DNA and RNA. Although, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remains the most popular amplification method, isothermal approaches are gained more attention last decades. Among these, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) became an excellent alternative to PCR. LAMP requires an increased number of primers and, therefore, is considered a highly specific amplification reaction compared to PCR. LAMP primers design is still a non-trivial task, and all niceties should be taken into account during their selection. Here, we report on a new program called LAMPrimers iQ destined for high-quality LAMP primers design. LAMPrimers iQ is based on an original algorithm considering rigorous criteria for primers selection. Unlike alternative programs, LAMPrimers iQ can process long DNA or RNA sequences, and completely avoid primers that can form homo- and heterodimers. The quality of the primers designed was checked using SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus RNA as a model target. It was shown that primers selected with LAMPrimers iQ provide higher specificity and reliable detection of viral RNA compared to those obtained by alternative programs. The program is available at https://github.com/Restily/LAMPrimers-iQ.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections constitute a major public health problem worldwide. A rapid method for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is critical for the timely prevention of bacterial infections and the accurate clinical use of drugs. The nuc and mecA genes are potentially indicative of MRSA infection and in this study, a multiplex molecular fluorescence multi-enzyme isothermal rapid amplification visual assay was proposed and established. The method is capable of detecting MRSA at 17 min, 40°C amplification, and is well differentiated from common clinical bacteria in specific assays, with 500 colony-forming units (CFU) mL-1 of MRSA detected under optimal conditions. This method has excellent diagnostic capabilities versus classical methods to detect clinical samples and shows potential in the identification of pathogenic microorganisms in a clinical setting.

Abstract
The detection of cadmium is essential because it poses a significant threat to human health and the environment. Recent advancements in biosensors that detect nonnucleic-acid targets using CRISPR/Cas12a in combination with aptamers or DNAzymes show promising performance. Herein, we integrated DNAzyme, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and CRISPR/Cas12a into a single biosensor for the first time and realized the ultrasensitive detection of Cd2+. A single phosphorothioate ribonucleobase (rA)-containing oligonucleotide (PS substrate) and a Cd2+-specific DNAzyme (Cdzyme) are used for Cd2+ recognition, releasing short single-stranded DNA. Then, the HCR is triggered by the cleavage products for signal transduction and amplification. Next, the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a is activated due to the presence of crRNA complementary strands and PAM sites in the HCR products. As a result, FQ-reporters are cleaved, and the fluorescence values can be easily read using a fluorometer, allowing Cd2+ quantification by measuring the fluorescent signal. The Cd2+ detection biosensor is ultrasensitive with a detection limit of 1.25 pM. Moreover, the biosensor shows great stability under different pH and various anion conditions. The proposed sensor was utilized for environmental water sample detection, demonstrating the dependability of the detection system. Considering the high sensitivity and reliable performance of the assay, it could be further used in environmental monitoring. In addition, the design strategy reported in this study could extend the application of CRISPR/Cas12a in heavy metal detection.

Abstract
Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is a widely used DNA amplification method that uses circular template DNA as input and produces multimeric, linear single- or double-stranded DNA. Circle-to-circle amplification (C2CA) has further expanded this method by implementing product recircularization using restriction and ligation, leading to a higher amplification yield and enabling the generation of circular products. However, C2CA is a multistep, nonisothermal method, requiring multiple fluid manipulations and thereby compromises several advantages of RCA. Here, we improved C2CA to implement a one-pot, single step, isothermal reaction at temperatures ranging from 25 to 37 °C. Our C2CAplus method is simple, robust, and produces large quantities of product DNA that can be seen with the naked eye.

Abstract
The landscape of diagnostic assessments has experienced a paradigm shift driven by the advent of isothermal amplification techniques on point-of-care testing (POCT). The development of compact, portable isothermal amplification devices further emphasizes their transformative influence on diagnostic approaches. However, in prioritizing portability, these devices may exhibit limitations in functionality, rendering them less effective in addressing urgent public health emergencies during sudden pathogen outbreaks. In this paper, an efficient isothermal fluorescence amplification device has been fabricated for the rapid detection of pathogens during public health crises. The device features multichannel capability for simultaneous detection of various targets, integrates with the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) for remote control and data uploading, and includes a deep learning-based batch processing system for rapid (9.4 ms) and accurate discrimination of pathogen type with excellent accuracy. The device has been successfully employed to simultaneously detect Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with limits of detection (LODs) of 18 CFU/mL (SA) and 20 CFU/mL (MRSA) within 35 min by multiplex RPA assay and CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated nucleic acid detection assay.

Abstract
Herein, powerful DNA strand displacement reaction and sensitive electrochemical analysis method were ingeniously integrated to develop a programmable biosensing platform. Using DNA as the detection model, a cascade amplification system based on catalytic hairpin assembly and entropy-driven catalytic was constructed, and the reaction rate and signal amplification effect were significantly improved. The product of the cascade amplification circuit could undergo strand displacement reaction with the signal probe on the electrode surface to obtain sensitive electrochemical signal changes and realize highly sensitive detection of the target. In addition, without redesigning the DNA sequences in the cascade amplification circuit, the by-product strand typically wasted in traditional entropy-driven catalytic reactions can be fully utilized to construct a single-signal output biosensing system and even a dual-signal output ratiometric biosensing platform, improving the detection repeatability and reliability of the system, and expanding the application of DNA strand displacement reaction in electrochemical biosensing. Furthermore, benefiting from the design flexibility of the DNA molecules, the constructed biosensing platform realized the sensitive detection of aptamer substrate (kanamycin as an example) and certain metal ion (mercury as an example) by simply recoding the corresponding recognition sequence, demonstrating the good versatility of the biosensing platform.

Abstract
An ochratoxin A (OTA) electrochemical biosensor based on a cascade signal amplification strategy with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) and ring opening polymerization (ROP) was constructed. The large specific surface area of AgNPs was used to increase the loading of OTA aptamer on the electrode surface, enhancing the ability to capture OTA as a way to achieve the first signal amplification. The OTA antibody modified with polyethylenimine specifically recognizes the OTA, forming an aptamer-OTA-antibody sandwich structure. The amino group on polyethylenimine initiates the ROP reaction with α-amino acid-n-carboxylic anhydride-ferrocene (NCA-Fc) as the monomer. A large number of electrochemical signal units of ferrocene are introduced into the sensing system for a second signal amplification. By amplifying the signal twice, the sensitivity of the sensor is improved. Under the optimal conditions, the detection range of the sensor is 1 pg·mL-1 ~ 1 μg·mL-1, while the detection limit is as low as 117 fg·mL-1. Moreover, the sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, good stability and selectivity. Standard addition recovery experiment proved that the sensing system can be successfully used for the detection of OTA in four actual samples with recoveries in the range 90.0 to 113% with RSDs of 0.6 to 5.2%, providing a new idea for the pollution assessment of mycotoxins.

Abstract
Quantitative detection of veterinary drug residues in animal-derived food is of great significance. In this work, a simple and label-free electrochemical aptasensor for the highly sensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) in milk was successfully developed based on a new biosensing method, where the single- or few-layer Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets functionalized via the specific aptamer by self-assembly were used as electrode modifiers for a glassy carbon electrode (aptamer/Ti3C2 MXene/GCE). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and so on were utilized for electrochemical and morphological characterization. Under the optimized conditions, the constructed aptasensor exhibited excellent performance with a wider linearity to CAP in the range from 10 fM to 1 μM and a low detection limit of 1 fM. Aptamer/Ti3C2 MXene/GCE demonstrated remarkable selectivity over other potentially interfering antibiotics, as well as exceptional reproducibility and stability. In addition, the aptasensor was successfully applied to determine CAP in milk with acceptable recovery values of 96.13% to 108.15% and relative standard deviations below 9%. Therefore, the proposed electrochemical aptasensor is an excellent alternative for determining CAP in food samples.

Investigation of the Impact of Hydrogen Bonding Degree in Long Single-Stranded DNA (ssDNA) Generated with Dual Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) on the Preparation and Performance of DNA Hydrogels. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:755.

Abstract
DNA hydrogels have gained significant attention in recent years as one of the most promising functional polymer materials. To broaden their applications, it is critical to develop efficient methods for the preparation of bulk-scale DNA hydrogels with adjustable mechanical properties. Herein, we introduce a straightforward and efficient molecular design approach to producing physically pure DNA hydrogel and controlling its mechanical properties by adjusting the degree of hydrogen bonding in ultralong single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) precursors, which were generated using a dual rolling circle amplification (RCA)-based strategy. The effect of hydrogen bonding degree on the performance of DNA hydrogels was thoroughly investigated by analyzing the preparation process, morphology, rheology, microstructure, and entrapment efficiency of the hydrogels for Au nanoparticles (AuNPs)-BSA. Our results demonstrate that DNA hydrogels can be formed at 25 °C with simple vortex mixing in less than 10 s. The experimental results also indicate that a higher degree of hydrogen bonding in the precursor DNA resulted in stronger internal interaction forces, a more complex internal network of the hydrogel, a denser hydrogel, improved mechanical properties, and enhanced entrapment efficiency. This study intuitively demonstrates the effect of hydrogen bonding on the preparation and properties of DNA hydrogels. The method and results presented in this study are of great significance for improving the synthesis efficiency and economy of DNA hydrogels, enhancing and adjusting the overall quality and performance of the hydrogel, and expanding the application field of DNA hydrogels.

Abstract
Food safety has always been a major global challenge to human health and the effective detection of harmful substances in food can reduce the risk to human health. However, the food industry has been plagued by a lack of effective and sensitive safety monitoring methods due to the tension between the cost and effectiveness of monitoring. DNA-based hydrogels combine the advantages of biocompatibility, programmability, the molecular recognition of DNA molecules, and the hydrophilicity of hydrogels, making them a hotspot in the research field of new nanomaterials. The stimulus response property greatly broadens the function and application range of DNA hydrogel. In recent years, DNA hydrogels based on stimulus-responsive mechanisms have been widely applied in the field of biosensing for the detection of a variety of target substances, including various food contaminants. In this review, we describe the recent advances in the preparation of stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels, highlighting the progress of its application in food safety detection. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and future application of stimulus-responsive DNA hydrogels.

[PMID: 36714617 PMCID: PMC9881591 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1124441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Telomerase has been considered as a biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), while the highly sensitive and specific methods remain challenging. To detect telomerase, a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor was constructed using the dual DNA-catalyzed amplification strategy composed of strand displacement amplification (SDA) and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA). This strategy relies on the extension reaction of telomerase primer induced by telomerase, forming long-stranded DNAs with repetitive sequence to catalyze the follow-up SDA event. Subsequently, the SDA products can trigger the CHA reaction between the SERS probes (Au-Ag nanocages (Au-AgNCs) modified with hairpin DNA1 and Raman reporters) and capture substrate (Au@SiO2 array labeled with hairpin DNA2), resulting in the formation of numerous "hot spots" to significantly enhance the SERS signal. Results are promising that the established biosensor presented excellent reproducibility, specificity and sensitivity. Moreover, ELISA was applied as the golden standard to verify the application of the proposed biosensor in real samples and the results confirmed the satisfactory accuracy of our method. Therefore, the proposed SERS biosensor has the potential to be an ideal tool for the early screening of HCC.

BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:1174. [PMID: 36551141 PMCID: PMC9776058 DOI: 10.3390/bios12121174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Isothermal amplifications allow for the highly sensitive detection of nucleic acids, bypassing the use of instrumental thermal cycling. This work aimed to carry out an experimental comparison of the four most promising techniques: recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) coupled with lateral flow test or coupled with additional amplification based on CRISPR/Cas12a resulting from the fluorescence of the Cas12a-cleaved probe. To compare the four amplification techniques, we chose the bacterial phytopathogen Erwinia amylovora (causative agent of fire blight), which has a quarantine significance in many countries and possesses a serious threat to agriculture. Three genes were chosen as the targets and primers were selected for each one (two for RPA and six for LAMP). They were functionalized by labels (biotin, fluorescein) at the 5' ends for amplicons recognition by LFT. As a result, we developed LAMP-LFT, LAMP-CRISPR/Cas, RPA-LFT, and RPA-CRISPR/Cas for E. amylovora detection. The detection limit was 104 CFU/mL for LAMP-LFT, 103 CFU/mL for LAMP-CRISPR/Cas, and 102 CFU/mL for RPA-LFT and RPA-CRISPR/Cas. The results of four developed test systems were verified by qPCR on a panel of real samples. The developed assays based on RPA, LAMP, CRISPR/Cas12a, and LFT are rapid (30-55 min), user-friendly, and highly sensitive for E. amylovora detection. All proposed detection methods can be applied to fire blight diagnosis and effective management of this disease.
