Oligonucleotide sensor based on magnetic capture and photoligation of upconverting nanoparticles in solid surfaces. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 596:64-74. [PMID: 33838326 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.02.093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/21/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
In this work, we present a luminescence platform that can be used as point of care system for determining the presence and concentration of specific oligonucleotide sequences. This sensor exhibited a limit of detection as low as 50 fM by means of: (i) the use of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) functionalized magnetic microparticles that captured and concentrated ssDNA-upconverting nanoparticles (ssDNA-UCNPs) on a solid support, when the target sequence (miR-21-5p DNA-analogue) was in the sample, and (ii) a photoligation reaction that covalently linked the ssDNA-UCNPs and the ssDNA magnetic microparticles, allowing stringent washes. The presented sensor showed a similar limit of detection when the assays were conducted in samples containing total miRNA extracted from human serum, demonstrating its suitability for detecting small specific oligonucleotide sequences under real-like conditions. The strategy of combining UCNPs, magnetic microparticles, and a photoligation reaction provides new insight into low-cost, rapid, and ultra-sensitive detection of oligonucleotide sequences.

The Partner Does Matter: The Structure of Heteroaggregates of Acridine Orange in Water. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24152816.

Abstract
Self-assembly of organic molecules in aqueous solutions is governed by a delicate entropy/enthalpy balance. Even small changes in their intermolecular interactions can cause critical changes in the structure of the aggregates and their spectral properties. The experimental results reported here demonstrate that protonated cations of acridine orange, acridine, and acridin-9-amine form stable J-heteroaggregates when in water. The structures of these aggregates are justified by the homonuclear 1H cross-relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The absorption and fluorescence of these aggregates deviate characteristically from the known H-homoaggregates of the protonated cations of acridine orange. The latter makes acridine orange a handy optical sensor for soft matter studies.

An oligonucleotide probe incorporating the chromophore of green fluorescent protein is useful for the detection of HER-2 mRNA breast cancer marker. Eur J Med Chem 2019; 173:99-106. [PMID: 30991278 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2019.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2019] [Accepted: 04/04/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer can be greatly enhanced and personalized based on the quantitative detection of mRNA markers. Here, we targeted the development of a fluorescent oligonucleotide probe to detect specifically the HER-2 mRNA breast cancer marker. We have selected the chromophore of the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), 4-hydroxybenzylidene imidazolinone (HBI), as a fluorophore covalently bound to an oligonucleotide probe and potentially capable of intercalating within a probe-mRNA duplex. We first synthesized the two-ring scaffold of the HBI chromophore 5 and coupled it to 2'-deoxyuridine at C5-position via a 7-atom-spacer, to give 4. Indeed, in the highly viscous glycerol used to mimic the reduced conformational flexibility of the intercalated HBI, chromophore 4 displayed a quantum yield of 0.29 and brightness of 20600 M-1cm-1, while no fluorescent signal was observed in methanol. Next, we synthesized a 20-mer oligonucleotide probe incorporating 4 at position 6 (5'-CCCGTUTCAACAGGAGTTTC-3'), ONHBI, targeting nucleotides 1233-1253 of HER-2 mRNA. A 16-fold enhancement of ONHBI emission intensity upon hybridization with the complementary RNA vs that of the oligonucleotide probe alone indicated the presence of target oligonucleotide and proved the intercalation of the chromophore (quantum yield 0.52; brightness 23500 M-1cm-1). Even more, an 11-fold enhancement of ONHBI emission (quantum yield 0.50; brightness 23200 M-1cm-1) was observed when the probe was mixed with total RNA extract from a human cell line that has high levels of HER2 mRNA expression. Thus, we propose ONHBI as a promising probe potentially useful for the sensitive and specific detection of HER2 mRNA breast cancer marker.

Abstract
In this work, we explore a photochemical ligation reaction to covalently modify oligonucleotide-conjugated upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) in the presence of a specific target DNA sequence. The target sequence acts as a hybridization template, bringing together a biotinylated photoactivatable oligonucleotide probe and the oligonucleotide probe that is attached to UCNPs. The illumination of the UCNPs by NIR light to generate UV emission internally or illuminating the photoactivatable probe directly by an external UV light promotes the photochemical ligation reaction, yielding covalently biotin functionalized UCNPs that can be selectively captured in streptavidin-coated microwells. Following this strategy, we developed a DNA sensor with a limit of detection of 1 × 10-18 mol per well (20 fM). In addition, we demonstrate the possibility to create UCNP patterns on the surface of solid supports upon NIR illumination that are selectively formed under the presence of the target oligonucleotide.

Abstract
DNA molecules containing 5-vinyluracil, 5-vinylcytosine, or 7-deaza-7-vinyladenine were prepared by polymerase incorporation of the corresponding vinyl-modified 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, and the influence of the vinyl group in the major groove of DNA on the cleavage by diverse type II restriction endonucleases (REs) was studied. The presence of 5-vinyluracil was tolerated by most of the REs, whereas only some REs were able to cleave sequences containing 7-deaza-7-vinyladenine. The enzyme ScaI was found to cleave DNA containing 5-vinylcytosine efficiently but not DNA containing the related 5-ethynylcytosine. All other REs failed to cleave sequences containing any cytosine modifications.

Abstract
The programmability of oligonucleotide recognition offers an attractive platform to direct the assembly of reactive partners that can engage in chemical reactions. Recently, significant progress has been made in both the breadth of chemical transformations and in the functional output of the reaction. Herein we summarize these recent progresses and illustrate their applications to translate oligonucleotide instructions into functional materials and novel architectures (conductive polymers, nanopatterns, novel oligonucleotide junctions); into fluorescent or bioactive molecule using cellular RNA; to interrogate secondary structures or oligonucelic acids; or a synthetic oligomer.

Oligonucleotide-templated reactions are useful for applying nucleic acid sensing. Various chemistries for oligonucleotide-templated reaction have been reported so far. Major scientific interests are focused on the development of signal amplification systems and signal generation systems. We introduce the recent advances of oligonucleotide-templated reaction in consideration of the above two points.
