Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), an enteric coronavirus, induces severe vomiting and acute watery diarrhea in unweaned piglets. The pig industry has suffered tremendous financial losses due to the high mortality rate of piglets caused by PEDV. Consequently, a simple and rapid on-site diagnostic technology is crucial for preventing and controlling PEDV. This study established a detection method for PEDV using recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) and Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute (PfAgo), which can detect 100 copies of PEDV without cross-reactivity with other pathogens. The entire reaction of RAA and PfAgo to detect PEDV does not require sophisticated instruments, and the reaction results can be observed with the naked eye. Overall, this integrated RAA-PfAgo cleavage assay is a practical tool for accurately and quickly detecting PEDV. KEY POINTS: • PfAgo has the potential to serve as a viable molecular diagnostic tool for the detection and diagnosis of viral genomes • The RAA-PfAgo detection technique has a remarkable level of sensitivity and specificity • The RAA-PfAgo detection system can identify PEDV without needing advanced equipment.

Abstract
Food safety is a global issue in public hygiene. The accurate, sensitive, and on-site detection of various food contaminants performs significant implications. However, traditional methods suffer from the time-consuming and professional operation, restricting their on-site application. Hydrogels with the merits of highly porous structure, high biocompatibility, good shape-adaptability, and stimuli-responsiveness offer a promising biomaterial to design sensors for ensuring food safety. This review describes the emerging applications of hydrogel-based sensors in food safety inspection in recent years. In particular, this study elaborates on their fabrication strategies and unique sensing mechanisms depending on whether the hydrogel is stimuli-responsive or not. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels can be integrated with various functional ligands for sensitive and convenient detection via signal amplification and transduction; while non-stimuli-responsive hydrogels are mainly used as solid-state encapsulating carriers for signal probe, nanomaterial, or cell and as conductive media. In addition, their existing challenges, future perspectives, and application prospects are discussed. These practices greatly enrich the application scenarios and improve the detection performance of hydrogel-based sensors in food safety detection.

Rapid and sensitive detection of two fungal pathogens in soybeans using the recombinase polymerase amplification/CRISPR-Cas12a method for potential on-site disease diagnosis. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024; 80:1168-1181. [PMID: 37874890 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaporthe aspalathi and Diaporthe caulivora are two of the fungal pathogens causing soybean stem canker (SSC) in soybean, which is one of the most widespread diseases in soybean growing regions and can cause 100% loss of yield. Current methods for the detection of fungal pathogens, including morphological identification and molecular detection, are mostly limited by the need for professional laboratories and staff. To develop a detection method for potential on-site diagnosis for two of the fungal pathogens causing SSC, we designed a rapid assay combining recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and CRISPR-Cas12a-based diagnostics to specifically detect D. aspalathi and D. caulivora. RESULTS The translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene was employed as the target gene to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of this assay. The RPA/CRISPR-Cas12a system has excellent specificity to distinguish D. aspalathi and D. caulivora from closely related species. The sensitivities of RPA/CRISPR-Cas12a-based fluorescence detection and lateral flow assay for D. aspalathi and D. caulivora are 14.5 copies and 24.6 copies, respectively. This assay can detect hyphae in inoculated soybean stems at 12 days after inoculation and has a recovery as high as 86% for hyphae-spiked soybean seed powder. The total time from DNA extraction to detection was not more than 60 min. CONCLUSION The method developed for rapid detection of plant pathogens includes DNA extraction with magnetic beads or rapid DNA extraction, isothermal nucleic acid amplification at 39 °C, CRISPR-Cas12a cleavage reaction at 37 °C, and lateral flow assay or endpoint fluorescence visualization at room temperature. The RPA and CRISPR-Cas12a reagents can be preloaded in the microcentrifuge tube to simplify the procedures in the field. Both RPA and CRISPR-Cas12a reaction can be realized on a portable incubator, and the results are visualized using lateral flow strips or portable flashlight. This method requires minimal equipment and operator training, and has promising applications for rapid on-site disease screening, port inspection, or controlling fungal pathogen transmission in crop. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Persistent bacterial infections pose a formidable threat to global health, contributing to widespread challenges in areas such as food safety, medical hygiene, and animal husbandry. Addressing this peril demands the urgent implementation of swift and highly sensitive detection methodologies suitable for point-of-care testing and large-scale screening. These methodologies play a pivotal role in the identification of pathogenic bacteria, discerning drug-resistant strains, and managing and treating diseases. Fortunately, new technology, the CRISPR/Cas system, has emerged. The clustered regularly interspaced short joint repeats (CRISPR) system, which is part of bacterial adaptive immunity, has already played a huge role in the field of gene editing. It has been employed as a diagnostic tool for virus detection, featuring high sensitivity, specificity, and single-nucleotide resolution. When applied to bacterial detection, it also surpasses expectations. In this review, we summarise recent advances in the detection of bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) using the CRISPR/Cas system. We emphasize the significance and benefits of this methodology, showcasing the capability of diverse effector proteins to swiftly and precisely recognize bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, the CRISPR/Cas system exhibits promise in the identification of antibiotic-resistant strains. Nevertheless, this technology is not without challenges that need to be resolved. For example, CRISPR/Cas systems must overcome natural off-target effects and require high-quality nucleic acid samples to improve sensitivity and specificity. In addition, limited applicability due to the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) needs to be addressed to increase its versatility. Despite the challenges, we are optimistic about the future of bacterial detection using CRISPR/Cas. We have already highlighted its potential in medical microbiology. As research progresses, this technology will revolutionize the detection of bacterial infections.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION CRISPR/Cas technology has greatly facilitated plant non-coding RNA (ncRNA) biology research, establishing itself as a promising tool for ncRNA functional characterization and ncRNA-mediated plant improvement. Throughout the last decade, the promising genome editing tool clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas; CRISPR/Cas) has allowed unprecedented advances in the field of plant functional genomics and crop improvement. Even though CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing system has been widely used to elucidate the biological significance of a number of plant protein-coding genes, this technology has been barely applied in the functional analysis of those non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that modulate gene expression, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Nevertheless, compelling findings indicate that CRISPR/Cas-based ncRNA editing has remarkable potential for deciphering the biological roles of ncRNAs in plants, as well as for plant breeding. For instance, it has been demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas tool could overcome the challenges associated with other approaches employed in functional genomic studies (e.g., incomplete knockdown and off-target activity). Thus, in this review article, we discuss the current status and progress of CRISPR/Cas-mediated ncRNA editing in plant science in order to provide novel prospects for further assessment and validation of the biological activities of plant ncRNAs and to enhance the development of ncRNA-centered protocols for crop improvement.

Abstract
RNA In situ imaging through DNA self-assembly is advantaged in illustrating its structures and functions with high-resolution, while the limited reaction efficiency and time-consuming operation hinder its clinical application. Here, we first proposed a new strand displacement reaction (SDR) model (Cas12a thrusting SDR, CtSDR), in which Cas12a could overcome the inherent reaction limitation and dramatically enhance efficiency through energy replenishment and by-product consumption. The target-initiated CtSDR amplification was established for RNA analysis, with order of magnitude lower limit of detection (LOD) than the Cas13a system. The CtSDR-based RNA in situ imaging strategy was developed to monitor intra-cellular microRNA expression change and delineate the landscape of oncogenic RNA in 66 clinic tissue samples, possessing a clear advantage over classic in situ hybridization (ISH) in terms of operation time (1 h versus 14 h) while showing comparable sensitivity and specificity. This work presents a promising approach to developing advanced molecular diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) are widely used as gene editing tools in biology, microbiology, and other fields. CRISPR is composed of highly conserved repetitive sequences and spacer sequences in tandem. The spacer sequence has homology with foreign nucleic acids such as viruses and plasmids; Cas effector proteins have endonucleases, and become a hotspot in the field of molecular diagnosis because they recognize and cut specific DNA or RNA sequences. Researchers have developed many diagnostic platforms with high sensitivity, high specificity, and low cost by using Cas proteins (Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, Cas14, etc.) in combination with signal amplification and transformation technologies (fluorescence method, lateral flow technology, etc.), providing a new way for rapid detection of pathogen nucleic acid. This paper introduces the biological mechanism and classification of CRISPR-Cas technology, summarizes the existing rapid detection technology for pathogen nucleic acid based on the trans cleavage activity of Cas, describes its characteristics, functions, and application scenarios, and prospects the future application of this technology.

Abstract
Pests and disease-causing pathogens frequently impede agricultural production. An early and efficient diagnostic tool is crucial for effective disease management. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and the CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) have recently been harnessed to develop diagnostic tools. The CRISPR/Cas system, composed of the Cas endonuclease and guide RNA, enables precise identification and cleavage of the target nucleic acids. The inherent sensitivity, high specificity, and rapid assay time of the CRISPR/Cas system make it an effective alternative for diagnosing plant pathogens and identifying genetically modified crops. Furthermore, its potential for multiplexing and suitability for point-of-care testing at the field level provide advantages over traditional diagnostic systems such as RT-PCR, LAMP, and NGS. In this review, we discuss the recent developments in CRISPR/Cas based diagnostics and their implications in various agricultural applications. We have also emphasized the major challenges with possible solutions and provided insights into future perspectives and potential applications of the CRISPR/Cas system in agriculture.

Abstract
Pathogenic biosafety is a worldwide concern. Tools for analyzing pathogenic biosafety, that are precise, rapid and field-deployable, are highly demanded. Recently developed biotechnological tools, especially those utilizing CRISPR/Cas systems which can couple with nanotechnologies, have enormous potential to achieve point-of-care (POC) testing for pathogen infection. In this review, we first introduce the working principle of class II CRISPR/Cas system for detecting nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid biomarkers, and highlight the molecular assays that leverage CRISPR technologies for POC detection. We summarize the application of CRISPR tools in detecting pathogens, including pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites and their variants, and highlight the profiling of pathogens' genotypes or phenotypes, such as the viability, and drug-resistance. In addition, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of CRISPR-based biosensors in pathogenic biosafety analysis.

Abstract
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is one of the most devastating diseases in aquaculture, causing significant economic losses in seafood supplies worldwide. Early detection is critical for its prevention, which requires reliable and fast-responding diagnosis tools with point-of-care testing (POCT) capacity. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) has been combined with CRISPR/Cas12a for AHPND diagnosis with a two-step procedure, but the operation is inconvenient and has the risk of carryover contamination. Here, we develop an RPA-CRISPR one-pot assay that integrates RPA and CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage into simultaneous reactions. Using the special design of crRNA, which is based on suboptimal protospacer adjacent motifs (PAM), RPA and Cas12a are made compatible in one pot. The assay is highly specific with a good sensitivity of 102 copies/reaction. This study provides a new choice for AHPND diagnosis with a POCT facility and sets a good example for developing RPA-CRISPR one-pot molecular diagnosis assays.

Abstract
As important post-transcriptional regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) play irreplaceable roles in diverse cellular functions. Dysregulated miRNA expression is implicated in various diseases including cancers, and thus miRNAs have become the valuable biomarkers for disease monitoring. Recently, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated (CRISPR/Cas) system has shown great promise for the development of next-generation biosensors because of its precise localization capability, good fidelity, and high cleavage activity. Herein, we review recent advance in development of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors for miRNA detection. We summarize the principles, features, and performance of these miRNA biosensors, and further highlight the remaining challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Plant microRNAs play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation of many processes, thus motivating the development of accurate and user-friendly microRNA detection methods for better understanding of, e.g., plant growth, development, and abiotic/biotic stress responses. By integrating the capture probe, fuel strand, primer, and template onto the surface of a magnetic nanoparticle (MNP), we demonstrated a magnetic DNA nanomachine that could conduct an on-particle cascade amplification reaction in response to the presence of target microRNA. The cascade amplification consists of an exonuclease III-assisted target recycling step and a rolling circle amplification step, leading to changes in the MNP arrangement that can be quantified by ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. After a careful investigation of the exonuclease III side reaction, the biosensor offers a detection limit of 15 fM with a total assay time of ca. 70 min. Moreover, our magnetic DNA nanomachine is capable of discriminating the target microRNA from its family members. Our biosensor has also been tested on total endogenous microRNAs extracted from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, with a performance comparable to qRT-PCR.

Abstract
Antibiotic usage has become very widespread in aquaculture, and the abuse or overuse of antibiotics has led to the evolution of antibiotic-resistance bacteria, which has adverse effects on aquatic products and ecosystems. Moreover, this evolution can potentially cause harm to human health. Thus, there is an urgent need for diagnostic tools for antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Herein, we proposed a signal-off Cas14a1-based platform (SOCP) for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In this SOCP, we have designed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) that not only can activate the trans-cleavage ability of dual Cas14a1-sgRNA complex but also can be used as the primers for the amplified methicilin-resistant gene (mecA). When MRSA is present, the primers can be transformed into products with amplification, leading to the signal decrease of trans-cleavage activity of Cas14a1. The SOCP showed high specificity and fair sensitivity for mecA gene and MRSA. In the detection of real samples, this platform also showed consistent results compared with qPCR. The SOCP could provide an alternative tool for the diagnosis of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in aquaculture, food industry and other fields.

Abstract
Pathogenic infection remains the primary threat to human health, such as the global COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to develop rapid, sensitive and multiplexed tools for detecting pathogens and their mutated variants, particularly the tailor-made strategies for point-of-care diagnosis allowing for use in resource-constrained settings. The rapidly evolving CRISPR/Cas systems have provided a powerful toolbox for pathogenic diagnostics via nucleic acid tests. In this review, we firstly describe the resultant promising class 2 (single, multidomain effector) and recently explored class 1 (multisubunit effector complexes) CRISPR tools. We present diverse engineering nucleic acid diagnostics based on CRISPR/Cas systems for pathogenic viruses, bacteria and fungi, and highlight the application for detecting viral variants and drug-resistant bacteria enabled by CRISPR-based mutation profiling. Finally, we discuss the challenges involved in on-site diagnostic assays and present emerging CRISPR systems and CRISPR cascade that potentially enable multiplexed and preamplification-free pathogenic diagnostics.

Abstract
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is one of the most serious pathogens in shrimp farming. This study combines recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with the Argonaute from Pyrococcus furiosus (PfAgo) and establishes a sensitive and reliable method for on-site detection of EHP. With careful screening of gDNA and optimization of the reaction, the method shows a good specificity and reaches a sensitivity of single copy per reaction, which is higher than the sensitivity of the currently available molecular assays. The whole procedure can be finished within 1.5 h including the sample processing time and only requires minimum laboratory support, which is user-friendly for on-site environments. This is the first application of PfAgo for the diagnosis of infectious diseases in seafood supply chains. It provides a reliable method for on-site detection of EHP in shrimp farms and establishes a groundwork for multiplex detection of important pathogens in seafood farming using PfAgo.

Abstract
Food authenticity is a critical issue associated with the economy, religion, and food safety. Herein, we report a label-free and colorimetric nucleic acid assay for detecting DNA barcodes, enabling the determination of food authenticity with the naked eye. This method, termed the CRISPR-based colorimetric DNA barcoding (Cricba) assay, utilizes CRISPR/Cas12a (CRISPR = clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats; Cas = CRISPR associated protein) to specifically recognize the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products for further trans-cleavaging the peroxidase-mimicking G-quadruplex DNAzyme. Based on this principle, the presence of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene could be directly observed with the naked eye via the color change of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine sulfate (TMB). The whole detection process, including PCR amplification and TMB colorimetric analysis, can be completed within 90 min. The proposed assay can detect pufferfish concentrations diluted to 0.1% (w/w) in a raw pufferfish mixture, making it one of the most sensitive methods for food authenticity. The robustness of the assay was verified by testing four common species of pufferfish, including Lagocephalus inermis, Lagocephalus spadiceus, Takifugu bimaculatus, and Takifugu alboplumbeus. The assay is advantageous in easy signal readout, high sensitivity, and general applicability and thus could be a competitive candidate for food authenticity.

Abstract
The detection of miRNA shows great promise in disease diagnosis. In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent biosensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes@gold nanoclusters (MWCNTs@Au NCs) and duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted signal amplification was fabricated for miRNA detection. Colorectal cancer (CRC)-associated miR-92a-3p extracted from exosomes was selected as the target. MWCNTs@Au NCs performs the dual functions of fluorescence quencher and internal fluorescence reference. In the absence of miR-92a-3p, an Atto-425-modified single-stranded DNA probe is adsorbed on MWCNTs@Au NCs, resulting in the quenching of Atto-425. In the presence of miR-92a-3p, the duplex is formed by hybridization of the probe and miR-92a-3p and leaves the MWCNTs@Au NCs, resulting in the fluorescence recovery of Atto-425. DSN can cleave the probe and result in the release of miR-92a-3p. The released miR-92a-3p can hybridize with other probes to form a signal amplification cycle. The fluorescence of MWCNTs@Au NCs remains stable and constitutes a ratiometric fluorescence system with that of Atto-425. A detection concentration interval of 0.1–10 pM and a limit of detection of 31 fM was obtained under optimized measurement conditions. In addition, the accuracy of the biosensor was validated by detecting the concentration of miR-92a-3p extracted from clinical exosome samples.
