Abstract
Aptamers have shown significant potential in treating diverse diseases. However, challenges such as stability and drug delivery limited their clinical application. In this paper, the development of AS1411 prodrug-type aptamers for tumor treatment was introduced. A Short oligonucleotide was introduced at the end of the AS1411 sequence with a disulfide bond as responsive switch. The results indicated that the aptamer prodrugs not only enhanced the stability of the aptamer against nuclease activity but also facilitated binding to serum albumin. Furthermore, in the reducing microenvironment of tumor cells, disulfide bonds triggered drug release, resulting in superior therapeutic effects in vitro and in vivo compared to original drugs. This paper proposes a novel approach for optimizing the structure of nucleic acid drugs, that promises to protect other oligonucleotides or secondary structures, thus opening up new possibilities for nucleic acid drug design.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination in food products can easily cause serious health hazards and economic losses to human beings. How to accurately detect and effectively control mycotoxin contamination has become a global concern. Mycotoxins conventional detection techniques e.g; ELISA, HPLC, have limitations like, low sensitivity, high cost and time-consuming. Aptamer-based biosensing technology has the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity, wide linear range, high feasibility, and non-destructiveness, which overcomes the shortcomings of conventional analysis techniques. This review summarizes the sequences of mycotoxin aptamers that have been reported so far. Based on the application of four classic POST-SELEX strategies, it also discusses the bioinformatics-assisted POST-SELEX technology in obtaining optimal aptamers. Furthermore, trends in the study of aptamer sequences and their binding mechanisms to targets is also discussed. The latest examples of aptasensor detection of mycotoxins are classified and summarized in detail. Newly developed dual-signal detection, dual-channel detection, multi-target detection and some types of single-signal detection combined with unique strategies or novel materials in recent years are focused. Finally, the challenges and prospects of aptamer sensors in the detection of mycotoxins are discussed. The development of aptamer biosensing technology provides a new approach with multiple advantages for on-site detection of mycotoxins. Although aptamer biosensing shows great development potential, still some challenges and difficulties are there in practical applications. Future research need high focus on the practical applications of aptasensors and the development of convenient and highly automated aptamers. This may lead to the transition of aptamer biosensing technology from laboratory to commercialization.

[PMID: 37442003 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
Realizing the simultaneous speedy detection of multiple mycotoxins in contaminated food and feed is of great practical importance in the domain of food manufacturing and security. Herein, a fluorescent aptamer sensor based on self-assembled DNA double-crossover was developed and used for effective simultaneous quantitative detection of aflatoxins M1 and B1 by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Fluorescent dye-modified aflatoxin M1 and B1 aptamers are selected as recognition elements and signal probes, and DNA double crosses are consistently locked by the aflatoxin aptamers, which results in a "turn-off" of the fluorescent signal. In the presence of AFM1 and AFB1, the aptamer sequences are more inclined to form Apt-AFM1 and Apt-AFB1 complexes, and the fluorescent probes are released from the DNA double-crossing platform, leading to an enhanced fluorescent signal (Cy3: 568 nm; Cy5: 660 nm). Under the optimal conditions, the signal response of the constructed fluorescent aptamer sensor showed good linearity with the logarithm of AFM1 and AFB1 concentrations, with detection limits of 6.24 pg/mL and 9.0 pg/mL, and a wide linear range of 0.01-200 ng/mL and 0.01-150 ng/mL, respectively. In addition, the effect of potential interfering substances in real samples was analyzed, and the aptasensor presented a good interference immunity. Moreover, by modifying and designing aptamer probes, the sensor can be applied to high-throughput simultaneous screening of other analytes, providing a new approach for the development of fluorescent aptamer sensors.

Abstract
In this study, a chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1 aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel was designed for the simultaneous detection of chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1 for the first time. The acrydite-modified chloramphenicol aptamer sequence was used to synthesize the DNA hydrogel and for visual detection of chloramphenicol depending on the gel-to-sol transition of the target-responsive DNA hydrogel. The DNA hydrogel formulation was set as follows: 60% of each linear polyacrylamide-DNA conjugate and 40% of acrylamide and chloramphenicol aptamer/DNA strand-1 at a molar ratio of 1:1, and the lowest concentration of chloramphenicol leading to gel dissociation was 1.0 nM at 25 °C. Furthermore, the formalized aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel was used to detect aflatoxin M1 by measuring the recovery of the fluorescence signal that was quenched when the FAM-labeled aflatoxin M1 aptamer and BHQ1-labeled DNA strand-2 were hybridized to form a double-stranded DNA in the network of hydrogel. The detection platform was successfully applied to the detection of chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1, both in aqueous solution and in milk. The aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel had detection (LOD) and quantification limits (LOQ) for aflatoxin M1 as 1.7 and 5.2 nM, respectively. Using two aptamer sequences with high affinity and specificity, the dual-sensing platform based on the DNA hydrogel achieved higher selectivity for chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1, which demonstrated its potential as a reliable simultaneous detection platform against two different targets for monitoring food safety.

Abstract
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a strong mycotoxin that is ubiquitous in agricultural products. The establishment of rapid detection methods is an important means to prevent and control FB1 contamination. In this study, an improved enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay (ELONA) method was designed and tested to detect the contents of FB1 in maize (corn) samples. F10 modified with biotin was bound to an enzyme label plate that was coated with streptavidin (SA) in advance, and carbon dots (CDs) were used to catalyze the color of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The complementary chain of F10 was modified with an amino group and coupled with CDs to obtain conjugates. The sample and conjugates were then added to the enzyme plate coated with F10 (an FB1 aptamer). Upon completion of the color reaction, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm. The LOD of this method was 4.30 ng/mL and the LOQ was 13.03 ng/mL. We observed a linear relationship in the FB1 concentration range of 0-100 ng/mL. The standard curve was y = -0.001482 × x + 0.3463, R2 = 0.9918, and the experimental results could be directly measured visually. The recovery of the maize sample was 97.5-99.23% and 94.54-99.25%, and the total detection time was 1 h.

Abstract
Remarkable advancements have been achieved in the development of rapid analytic techniques toward fumonisin B1 (FB1) monitoring and even trace levels for food safety in recent years. However, the point-of-care testing for quantitative and accurate FB1 determination is still challenging. Herein, an innovative aptasensor was established to monitor FB1 by utilizing graphene oxide (GO) and nuclease-triggered signal enhancement. GO can be utilized as a fluorescence quenching agent toward a fluorophore-modified aptamer, and even as a protectant of the aptamer from nuclease cleavage for subsequent target cycling and signal amplification detection. This proposed sensing strategy exhibited a good linearity for FB1 determination in the dynamic range from 0.5 to 20 ng mL−1 with a good correlation of R2 = 0.995. Its limit of detection was established at 0.15 ng mL−1 (S/N = 3), which was significantly lower than the legal requirements by three orders of magnitude. The interferent study demonstrated that the introduced aptasensor possessed high selectivity for FB1. Moreover, the aptasensor was successfully applied to the detection of wheat flour samples, and the results were consistent with the classical ELISA method. The rapid response, sensitive and selective analysis, and reliable results of this sensing platform offer a promising opportunity for food mycotoxin control in point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Handmade dairy products, which retain the nutrients in milk to the greatest extent, have become popular in China recently. However, no investigation regarding the characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in raw milk of handmade dairy retail stores has been reported. Here, we investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility, virulence, biofilm formation, and genetic diversity of S. aureus in raw milk from handmade dairy retail stores in Hefei, China. After 10 months of long-term monitoring, 50 S. aureus strains were isolated from 69 different raw milk samples, of which 6 were positive for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The resistance rates of these isolates to ampicillin, erythromycin, kanamycin, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, gentamicin, ofloxacin, oxacillin, chloramphenicol, and doxycycline were 56, 54, 40, 24, 22, 22, 18, 14, 8 and 6%, respectively. All 50 isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and 29 strains (58%) showed multidrug resistance phenotype. For enterotoxins genes, selp (14%) was detected the most frequently, followed by sea (6%), sec (4%), sei (4%), ser (4%), selj (4%), and seh (2%). By microplate assay, 32 and 68% of the strains showed moderate and strong biofilm formation ability, respectively. Fifty isolates were discriminated into nine spa types, and the most common spa typing was t034 (42%). The results of this study indicate that S. aureus from raw milk may constitute a risk concerning food poisoning, and more attention must be given to awareness and hygienic measures in the food industry.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of Aflatoxins as one of the most hazardous compounds in foodstuffs is very important. In this study, a label-free electrochemical aptasensor was developed to identify aflatoxin M1 using a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based pencil graphite electrode (PGE). The morphological characteristics of the electrode surface were investigated using SEM and rGO functional groups were confirmed by FTIR. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used to characterize various stages of electrode modification. In order to optimize the impedimetric response of the aptasensor, aptamer immobilization time, aptamer concentration, and binding aflatoxin M1 with aptamer time were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the linear concentration range of 0.5-800 ng/L and limit of detection (LOD) of 0.3 ng/L were obtained for aflatoxin M1 by measuring the resistance charge transfer data. Finally, the fabricated aptasensor was successfully used to measure AFM1 compared to HPLC method.

Abstract
Carbendazim (CBZ), a systemic, broad-spectrum benzimidazole fungicide, is widely used to control fungal diseases in agricultural products. Its residues might pose risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, it is warranted to establish a rapid and reliable method for its residual quantification. Herein, we proposed a competitive assay that combined aptamer (DNA) specific recognition and bimetallic nanozyme gold@platinum (Au@Pt) catalysis to trace the CBZ residue. The DNA was labeled onto bimetallic nanozyme Au@Pt surface to produce Au@Pt probes (Au@Pt-DNA). The magnetic Fe3O4 was functionalized with a complementary strand of DNA (C-DNA) to form Fe3O4 probes (Fe3O4-C-DNA). Subsequently, the CBZ and the Fe3O4 probes competitively react with Au@Pt probes to form two Au@Pt-DNA biosensors (Au@Pt-ssDNA-CBZ and Au@Pt-dsDNA-Fe3O4). The Au@Pt-ssDNA-CBZ biosensor was designed for qualitative analysis through a naked-eye visualization strategy in the presence of CBZ. Meanwhile, Au@Pt-dsDNA-Fe3O4 biosensor was developed to quantitatively analyze CBZ using a multifunctional microplate reader. A competitive assay based on the dual-mode Au@Pt-DNA biosensors was established for onsite sensitive determination of CBZ. The limit of detection (LOD) and recoveries of the developed assay were 0.038 ng/mg and 71.88-110.11%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranging between 3.15 and 10.91%. The assay demonstrated a good correlation with data acquired from liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis. In summary, the proposed competitive assay based on dual-mode Au@Pt-DNA biosensors might have a great potential for onsite sensitive detection of pesticides in agro-products.
