Surface plasmon resonance-based oligonucleotide biosensor for Salmonella Typhi detection. Anal Biochem 2023; 677:115250. [PMID: 37482208 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2023.115250] [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: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Due to high mortality rates, typhoid fever still is one of the major health problems in the world, particularly in developing countries. The lack of highly specific and sensitive diagnostic tests and the great resemblance of typhoid fever symptoms to other diseases made the false-negative diagnosis a major challenge in typhoid fever management. Hence, we decided to design a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) based biosensor for specific detection of Salmonella typhi through DNA hybridization. The results showed that the 10 nM of the synthetic target sequence, as well as 1 nM of PCR product, were the lowest feasible detected concentrations by the designed biosensor. This genosensor was also found to significantly distinguish the complementary sequence with the accuracy of one base mismatch sequence. The surface of the chip can be regenerated with NaOH solution and used for consecutive diagnosis. Therefore, the function of the designed biosensor indicates its high potential for Salmonella typhi detection practice.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 238:124089. [PMID: 36948336 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
Biomolecular interactions underpin most processes inside the cell. Hence, a precise and quantitative understanding of molecular association and dissociation events is crucial, not only from a fundamental perspective, but also for the rational design of biomolecular platforms for state-of-the-art biomedical and industrial applications. In this context, atomic force microscopy (AFM) appears as an invaluable experimental technique, allowing the measurement of the mechanical strength of biomolecular complexes to provide a quantitative characterization of their interaction properties from a single molecule perspective. In the present review, the most recent methodological advances in this field are presented with special focus on bioconjugation, immobilization and AFM tip functionalization, dynamic force spectroscopy measurements, molecular recognition imaging and theoretical modeling. We expect this work to significantly aid in grasping the principles of AFM-based force spectroscopy (AFM-FS) technique and provide the necessary tools to acquaint the type of data that can be achieved from this type of experiments. Furthermore, a critical assessment is done with other nanotechnology techniques to better visualize the future prospects of AFM-FS.

Abstract
The epidemic of infectious diseases caused by contagious pathogens is a life-threatening hazard to the entire human population worldwide. A timely and accurate diagnosis is the critical link in the fight against infectious diseases. Aptamer-based biosensors, the so-called aptasensors, employ nucleic acid aptamers as bio-receptors for the recognition of target pathogens of interest. This review focuses on the design strategies as well as state-of-the-art technologies of aptasensor-based diagnostics for infectious pathogens (mainly bacteria and viruses), covering the utilization of three major signal transducers, the employment of aptamers as recognition moieties, the construction of versatile biosensing platforms (mostly micro and nanomaterial-based), innovated reporting mechanisms, and signal enhancement approaches. Advanced point-of-care testing (POCT) for infectious disease diagnostics are also discussed highlighting some representative ready-to-use devices to address the urgent needs of currently prevalent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pressing issues in aptamer-based technology and some future perspectives of aptasensors are provided for the implementation of aptasensor-based diagnostics into practical application.

Abstract
In this work, a biosensor based on surface plasmon field-enhanced florescence spectroscopy (SPFS) method was successfully constructed to detect the truncated form of cholera toxin, that is, its beta subunit (CTX-B). CTX-B is a relatively small molecule (12 kDa) and it was chosen as model analyte for the detection of protein toxins originated from waterborne pathogens. Recognition layer was prepared on gold-coated LaSFN9 glasses modified with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA). Biotin-conjugated anti-CTX-B polyclonal antibody (B-Ab) was immobilized on streptavidin (SA) layer constructed on the 11-MUA-modified surface. CTX-B amount was determined with direct assay using B-Ab in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) mode and with sandwich assay in SPFS mode using Cy5-conjugated anti-CTX-B polyclonal antibody. Minimum detected CTX-B concentrations were 10 and 0.01 μg/ml with SPR and SPFS, respectively, showing the sensitivity of the SPFS system over the conventional one. The detection was done in 2-6 h, which was faster than both culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods. Stability tests were performed with SA-coated sensors (excluding B-Ab). In this form, the layer was stable after 30 days of storage in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; 0.01 M, pH = 7.4) at +4°C. B-Ab layer was formed immediately on them before each measurement.

Abstract
A higher level of food safety is required due to the fast-growing human population along with the increased awareness of healthy lifestyles. Currently, a large percentage of food is spoiled during storage and processing due to enzymes and microbial activity, causing huge economic losses to both producers and consumers. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), as a powerful scanning probe microscopy, has been successfully and widely used in food preservation research. This technique allows a non-invasive examination of food products, providing high-resolution images of surface structure and individual polymers as well as the physical properties and adhesion of single molecules. In this paper, detailed applications of AFM in food preservation are reviewed. AFM has been used to provide comprehensive information in food preservation by evaluating the spoilage with its related structure modification. By utilizing AFM imaging and force measurement function, the main mechanisms involved in the loss of food quality and preservation technologies development can be further elucidated. It is also capable of exploring the activities of enzymes and microbes in influencing the quality of food products during storage. AFM provides comprehensive solutions to overcome spoilage issues with its versatile functions and high-throughput outcomes. Further research and development of this novel technique in order to solve integrated problems in food preservation are necessary.

Abstract
The frequent outbreaks of foodborne pathogens have stimulated the demand of biosensors capable of rapid and multiplex detection of contaminated food. In this study, surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) was used in simultaneous label-free detection of multiple foodborne pathogens, mainly Salmonella spp. and Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC), in commercial chicken carcass rinse. The antibodies were immobilized on the same SPRi sensor chip as a label-free immunoassay. Their immobilization concentrations were optimized to be ranging from 0.25 to 1.0 mg/mL, and independent of pH values. This label-free immunoassay achieved 106 colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL limit of detection for Salmonella, which was further improved to 1.0 CFU/mL with overnight bacteria enrichment. The injected samples with different bacteria, Salmonella Enteritidis, STEC, and Listeria monocytogenes, have been identified by the same biochip. Moreover, the SPRi signals revealed complex interference effects among coexisting bacteria species in heterogeneous bacteria solutions. This SPRi-based immunoassay demonstrates the great potential in high-throughput screening of multiple pathogenic bacteria coexisting in chicken carcass rinse. The reliability of antibody immobilization and cross-reactions of different antibodies on the same biochip are the major challenges of practical application of SPRi.

Abstract
DNA encodes the genetic information; recently, it has also become a key player in material science. Given the specific Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions between only four types of nucleotides, well-designed DNA self-assembly can be programmable and predictable. Stem-loops, sticky ends, Holliday junctions, DNA tiles, and lattices are typical motifs for forming DNA-based structures. The oligonucleotides experience thermal annealing in a near-neutral buffer containing a divalent cation (usually Mg2+ ) to produce a variety of DNA nanostructures. These structures not only show beautiful landscape, but can also be endowed with multifaceted functionalities. This Review begins with the fundamental characterization and evolutionary trajectory of DNA-based artificial structures, but concentrates on their biomedical applications. The coverage spans from controlled drug delivery to high therapeutic profile and accurate diagnosis. A variety of DNA-based materials, including aptamers, hydrogels, origamis, and tetrahedrons, are widely utilized in different biomedical fields. In addition, to achieve better performance and functionality, material hybridization is widely witnessed, and DNA nanostructure modification is also discussed. Although there are impressive advances and high expectations, the development of DNA-based structures/technologies is still hindered by several commonly recognized challenges, such as nuclease instability, lack of pharmacokinetics data, and relatively high synthesis cost.
