Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are oligonucleotide chains with molecular recognition properties. Compared with antibodies, aptamers show advantages given that they are readily produced via chemical synthesis and elicit minimal immunogenicity in biomedicine applications. Notably, aptamer-encoded nucleic acid assemblies further improve the binding affinity of aptamers with the targets due to their multivalent synergistic interactions. Specially, aptamers can be engineered with special topological arrangements in nucleic acid assemblies, which demonstrate spatial and valence matching towards antigens on viruses, thus showing potential in the detection and therapeutic applications of viruses. This review presents the recent progress on the aptamers explored for SARS-CoV-2 detection and infection treatment, wherein applications of aptamer-based assembly systems are introduced in detail. Screening methods and chemical modification strategies for aptamers are comprehensively summarized, and the types of aptamers employed against different target domains of SARS-CoV-2 are illustrated. The evolution of aptamer-based assembly systems for the detection and neutralization of SARS-CoV-2, as well as the construction principle and characteristics of aptamer-based DNA assemblies are demonstrated. The typically representative works are presented to demonstrate how to assemble aptamers rationally and elaborately for specific applications in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and neutralization. Finally, we provide deep insights into the current challenges and future perspectives towards aptamer-based nucleic acid assemblies for virus detection and neutralization in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Immunotherapy aimed at inhibiting the negative co-stimulatory molecule programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has limited effectiveness, with clinical response rates remaining below 10%-15%. Therefore, new immune checkpoints need to be explored. Our study focused on human endogenous retrovirus H long terminal repeat-associating protein 2 (HHLA2), a highly glycosylated member of the B7 family that is widely expressed in colorectal cancer. HHLA2 expression negatively correlates with the prognosis of colorectal cancer. Glycosylation of HHLA2, which is regulated by the glycosyltransferase STT3 oligosaccharyltransferase complex catalytic subunit A (STT3A), is crucial for protein stability and expression in cell membranes. Additionally, the binding of HHLA2 to the receptors killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, three immunoglobulin domains and long cytoplasmic tail 3 (KIR3DL3) and transmembrane and immunoglobulin (Ig) domain containing 2 (TMIGD2) is dependent on N-glycosylation. Moreover, N-glycosylation of HHLA2 promotes immune evasion in colorectal cancer by suppressing the immune response of NK cells. Notably, the STT3A inhibitor NGI-1 enhances the anti-tumor immune response of NK cells. Our findings provide new insights and a molecular basis for targeting HHLA2 in immunotherapy for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Modeling severe acute respiratory syndrome, Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in stem cell-derived organoids has helped in our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of COVID-19 disease due to their resemblance to actual human tissues or organs. Over the past decade, organoid 3-dimensional (3D) cultures have represented a new perspective and considerable advancement over traditional in vitro 2-dimensional (2D) cell cultures. COVID-19 disease causes lung injury and multi-organ failure leading to death, especially in older patients. There is an urgent need for physiological models to study SARS-CoV-2 infection during the pandemic. Human stem cell-derived organoids can provide insight into understanding the SARS-CoV-2 cell entry molecular mechanism. Identifying such complexities will help to develop the best preventive drug targets.

Abstract
Aptasensors based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are of high interest due to the superior specificity and low limit of detection. It is possible to produce stable and cheap SERS-active substrates and portable equipment meeting the requirements of point-of-care devices. Here we combine the membrane filtration and SERS-active substrate in the one pot. This approach allows efficient adsorption of the viruses from the solution onto aptamer-covered silver nanoparticles. Specific determination of the viruses was provided by the aptamer to influenza A virus labeled with the Raman-active label. The SERS-signal from the label was decreased with a descending concentration of the target virus. Even several virus particles in the sample provided an increase in SERS-spectra intensity, requiring only a few minutes for the interaction between the aptamer and the virus. The limit of detection of the aptasensor was as low as 10 viral particles per mL (VP/mL) of influenza A virus or 2 VP/mL per probe. This value overcomes the limit of detection of PCR techniques (∼103 VP/mL). The proposed biosensor is very convenient for point-of-care applications.

An engineered SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain produced in Pichia pastoris as a candidate vaccine antigen. N Biotechnol 2022; 72:11-21.

Abstract
Developing affordable and easily manufactured SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will be essential to achieve worldwide vaccine coverage and long-term control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here the development is reported of a vaccine based on the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD), produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris. The RBD was modified by adding flexible N- and C-terminal amino acid extensions that modulate protein/protein interactions and facilitate protein purification. A fed-batch methanol fermentation with a yeast extract-based culture medium in a 50 L fermenter and an immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography-based downstream purification process yielded 30-40 mg/L of RBD. Correct folding of the purified protein was demonstrated by mass spectrometry, circular dichroism, and determinations of binding affinity to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. The RBD antigen also exhibited high reactivity with sera from convalescent individuals and Pfizer-BioNTech or Sputnik V vaccinees. Immunization of mice and non-human primates with 50 µg of the recombinant RBD adjuvanted with alum induced high levels of binding antibodies as assessed by ELISA with RBD produced in HEK293T cells, and which inhibited RBD binding to ACE2 and neutralized infection of VeroE6 cells by SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, the RBD protein stimulated IFNγ, IL-2, IL-6, IL-4 and TNFα secretion in splenocytes and lung CD3+-enriched cells of immunized mice. The data suggest that the RBD recombinant protein produced in yeast P. pastoris is suitable as a vaccine candidate against COVID-19.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a technology for the rapid and sensitive detection of the whole viral particles of SARS-CoV-2 using double-labeled DNA aptamers as recognition elements together with the SERS method for detecting the optical response. We report on the development of a SERS-aptasensor based on a reproducible lithographic SERS substrate, featuring the combination of high speed, specificity, and ultrasensitive quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 virions. The sensor makes it possible to identify SARS-CoV-2 in very low concentrations (the limit of detection was 100 copies/mL), demonstrating a sensitivity level comparable to the existing diagnostic golden standard-the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract
The recent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has posed a great challenge for the development of ultra-fast methods for virus identification based on sensor principles. We created a structure modeling surface and size of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and used it in comparison with the standard antigen SARS-CoV-2—the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S-protein of the envelope of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Wuhan strain—for the development of detection of coronaviruses using a DNA-modified, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based aptasensor in sandwich mode: a primary aptamer attached to the plasmonic surface—RBD-covered Ag nanoparticle—the Cy3-labeled secondary aptamer. Fabricated novel hybrid plasmonic structures based on “Ag mirror-SiO2-nanostructured Ag” demonstrate sensitivity for the detection of investigated analytes due to the combination of localized surface plasmons in nanostructured silver surface and the gap surface plasmons in a thin dielectric layer of SiO2 between silver layers. A specific SERS signal has been obtained from SERS-active compounds with RBD-specific DNA aptamers that selectively bind to the S protein of synthetic virion (dissociation constants of DNA-aptamer complexes with protein in the range of 10 nM). The purpose of the study is to systematically analyze the combination of components in an aptamer-based sandwich system. A developed virus size simulating silver particles adsorbed on an aptamer-coated sensor provided a signal different from free RBD. The data obtained are consistent with the theory of signal amplification depending on the distance of the active compound from the amplifying surface and the nature of such a compound. The ability to detect the target virus due to specific interaction with such DNA is quantitatively controlled by the degree of the quenching SERS signal from the labeled compound. Developed indicator sandwich-type systems demonstrate high stability. Such a platform does not require special permissions to work with viruses. Therefore, our approach creates the promising basis for fostering the practical application of ultra-fast, amplification-free methods for detecting coronaviruses based on SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, global public health and the economy have suffered unprecedented damage. Based on the increasing related literature, the characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms of the virus, and epidemiological and clinical features of the disease are being rapidly discovered. The spike glycoprotein (S protein), as a key antigen of SARS-CoV-2 for developing vaccines, antibodies, and drug targets, has been shown to play an important role in viral entry, tissue tropism, and pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms of interaction between S protein and host factors, especially receptor-mediated viral modulation of host signaling pathways, and highlight the progression of potential therapeutic targets, prophylactic and therapeutic agents for prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
With the threat of increasing SARS-CoV-2 cases looming in front of us and no effective and safest vaccine available to curb this pandemic disease due to its sprouting variants, many countries have undergone a lockdown 2.0 or planning a lockdown 3.0. This has upstretched an unprecedented demand to develop rapid, sensitive, and highly selective diagnostic devices that can quickly detect coronavirus (COVID-19). Traditional techniques like polymerase chain reaction have proven to be time-inefficient, expensive, labor intensive, and impracticable in remote settings. This shifts the attention to alternative biosensing devices that can be successfully used to sense the COVID-19 infection and curb the spread of coronavirus cases. Among these, nanomaterial-based biosensors hold immense potential for rapid coronavirus detection because of their noninvasive and susceptible, as well as selective properties that have the potential to give real-time results at an economical cost. These diagnostic devices can be used for mass COVID-19 detection to understand the rapid progression of the infection and give better-suited therapies. This review provides an overview of existing and potential nanomaterial-based biosensors that can be used for rapid SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics. Novel biosensors employing different detection mechanisms are also highlighted in different sections of this review. Practical tools and techniques required to develop such biosensors to make them reliable and portable have also been discussed in the article. Finally, the review is concluded by presenting the current challenges and future perspectives of nanomaterial-based biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics.
