Development and comparison of cross-linking and non-crosslinking probe-gold nanoparticle hybridization assays for direct detection of unamplified bovine viral diarrhea virus-RNA.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a major economic disease that has been spread in most countries. In addition to vaccination, one of the main ways to control the disease and prevent it from spreading is to detect and cull infected animals, especially those with persistent infection (PI). We developed and compared two colorimetric biosensor assays based on probe-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to detect BVDV. Specific probes were designed to detect the 5' untranslated region of BVDV-RNA. The thiolated probes were immobilized on the surface of the AuNPs. Two methods of cross-linking (CL) and non-crosslinking (NCL) probe-AuNPs hybridization were developed and compared.

Results

The hybridization of positive targets with the two probe-AuNPs formed a polymeric network between the AuNPs which led to the aggregation of nanoparticles and color change from red to blue. Alternatively, in the NCL mode, the hybridization of complementary targets with the probe-AuNPs resulted in the increased electrostatic repulsion in nanoparticles and the increased stabilization against salt-induced aggregation. The CL and NCL assays had detection limits of 6.83 and 44.36 ng/reaction, respectively.

Conclusion

The CL assay showed a higher sensitivity and specificity; in contrast, the NCL assay did not require optimizing and controlling of hybridization temperature and showed a higher response speed. However, both the developed methods are cost-effective and easy to perform and also could be implemented on-site or in local laboratories in low-resource countries.

Simultaneous Detection of Bovine Rotavirus, Bovine Parvovirus, and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Using a Gold Nanoparticle-Assisted PCR Assay With a Dual-Priming Oligonucleotide System.

Project description:Bovine rotavirus (BRV), bovine parvovirus (BPV), and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are the pathogens that cause diarrhea primarily in newborn calves. A mixed infection of BRV, BPV, and BVDV makes clinical diagnosis difficult. In this study, we designed dual-priming oligonucleotide (DPO) primers the VP6 gene of BRV, VP2 gene of BPV, and 5'UTR gene of BVDV and synthesized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with an average diameter of 10 nm. We combined the DPOs with the GNPs to develop a DPO-nanoPCR assay for detecting BRV, BPV, and BVDV. The annealing temperature, primer concentration, and GNP concentration were optimized for this assay. Compared to a conventional PCR assay, the DPO-nanoPCR assay allowed the use of a wider range of annealing temperatures (41-65°C) to effectively amplify target genes. PCR amplification was the most efficient at 56.2°C using conventional primers. The optimal volume of all the primers (10 μM) was 1.0 μL. The optimal volume of GNPs (10 nM) for all the reactions was 0.5 μL. The detection limits of DPO-nanoPCR for pMD19-T-VP6, pMD19-T-VP2, and pMD19-T-5'UTR were 9.40 × 102 copies/μL, 5.14 × 103 copies/μL, and 4.09 × 101 copies/μL, respectively; and those using conventional PCR were 9.40 × 104 copies/μL, 5.14 × 105 copies/μL, and 4.09 × 104 copies/μL, respectively. The sensitivity of DPO-nanoPCR was at least 100-fold higher than that of conventional PCR. The specificity detection showed that the DPO-nanoPCR was able to specifically detect BRV, BPV, and BVDV. Use of clinical samples indicated that target viruses can be detected accurately. Thus, DPO-nanoPCR is a new powerful, simple, specific, and sensitive tool for detecting mixed infections of BRV, BPV, and BVDV.

"Three-dimensional hybridization" with polyvalent DNA-gold nanoparticle conjugates.

Project description:We have determined the minimum number of base pairings necessary to stabilize DNA-Au NP aggregates as a function of salt concentration for particles between 15 and 150 nm in diameter. Significantly, we find that sequences containing a single base pair interaction are capable of effecting hybridization between 150 nm DNA-Au NPs. While traditional DNA hybridization involves two strands interacting in one dimension (1D, Z), we propose that hybridization in the context of an aggregate of polyvalent DNA-Au NP conjugates occurs in three dimensions (many oligonucleotides oriented perpendicular to the X, Y plane engage in base pairing), making nanoparticle assembly possible with three or fewer base pairings per DNA strand. These studies enabled us to compare the stability of duplex DNA free in solution and bound to the nanoparticle surface. We estimate that 4-8, 6-19, or 8-33 additional DNA bases must be added to free duplex DNA to achieve melting temperatures equivalent to hybridized systems formed from 15, 60, or 150 nm DNA-Au NPs, respectively. In addition, we estimate that the equilibrium binding constant (K(eq)) for 15 nm DNA-Au NPs (3 base pairs) is approximately 3 orders of magnitude higher than the K(eq) for the corresponding nanoparticle free system.

Effects of Cationic Proteins on Gold Nanoparticle/Aptamer Assays.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and aptamers are compelling building blocks for analytical assays with desired attributes of selectivity and sensitivity and may theoretically form the basis of instrument-free color-changing assays for any target against which a DNA aptamer has been selected. However, assays for proteins based on these components may be subject to significant interferences from the interaction of proteins with nanoparticles. We found that for three representative protein/aptamer systems-thrombin, apolipoprotein E, and platelet-derived growth factor-pH-dependent aggregation occurred, even in the absence of the aptamer, to differing extents. This effect is most pronounced when proteins display net surface charge (i.e., when pH < pI) but can even be observed at pH = pI when the protein retains regions of positive charge. These interactions of AuNPs and cationic regions on proteins may present an important limitation on the development of AuNP-based analytical assays.

A DNAzyme-gold nanoparticle probe for uranyl ion in living cells.

Project description:DNAzymes have shown great promise as a general platform for detecting metal ions, as many metal-specific DNAzymes can be obtained using in vitro selection. While DNAzyme-based metal sensors have found many applications in the extracellular environment, no intracellular application of DNAzyme sensors has yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate a novel type of metal ion sensor for intracellular metal ion detection. The probe consists of a 13 nm gold nanoparticle (AuNP) core functionalized with a shell consisting of a uranyl-specific 39E DNAzyme whose enzyme strand contains a thiol at the 3' end for conjugation to the AuNP, and whose substrate strand is modified with a Cy3 fluorophore at the 5' end and a molecular quencher at the 3' end. In the absence of uranyl, the fluorescence of the Cy3 is quenched by both AuNP and the molecular quencher. In the presence of uranyl, the DNAzyme cleaves the fluorophore-labeled substrate strand, resulting in release of the shorter product strand containing the Cy3 and increased fluorescence. We demonstrate that this DNAzyme-AuNP probe can readily enter cells and can serve as a metal ion sensor within a cellular environment, making it the first demonstration of DNAzymes as intracellular metal ion sensors. Such a method can be generally applied to the detection of other metal ions using other DNAzymes selected through in vitro selection.

Detection of Unamplified <i>E. coli</i> O157 DNA Extracted from Large Food Samples Using a Gold Nanoparticle Colorimetric Biosensor.

Project description:Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens such as E. coli O157 is essential in reducing the prevalence of foodborne illness and subsequent complications. Due to their unique colorimetric properties, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can be applied in biosensor development for affordability and accessibility. In this work, a GNP biosensor was designed for visual differentiation between target (E. coli O157:H7) and non-target DNA samples. Results of DNA extracted from pure cultures indicate high specificity and sensitivity to as little as 2.5 ng/µL E. coli O157 DNA. Further, the biosensor successfully identified DNA extracted from flour contaminated with E. coli O157, with no false positives for flour contaminated with non-target bacteria. After genomic extraction, this assay can be performed in as little as 30 min. In addition, food sample testing was successful at detecting approximately 103 CFU/mL of E. coli O157 magnetically extracted from flour after only a 4 h incubation step. As a proof of concept, these results demonstrate the capabilities of this GNP biosensor for low-cost and rapid foodborne pathogen detection.

Gold nanoparticle-based activatable probe for sensing ultralow levels of prostate-specific antigen.

Project description:It is still in high demand to develop extremely sensitive and accurate clinical tools for biomarkers of interest for early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. In this report, we present a highly sensitive and compatible gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based fluorescence-activatable probe for sensing ultralow levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in patient serum samples. The limit of detection of the newly developed probe for PSA was pushed down to 0.032 pg/mL, which is more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than that of the conventional fluorescence probe. The ultrahigh sensitivity of this probe was attributed to the high loading efficiency of the dyes on AuNP surfaces and high fluorescence quenching-unquenching abilities of the dye-AuNP pairs. The efficiency and robustness of this probe were investigated in patient serum samples, demonstrating the great potential of this probe in real-world applications.

Encased Gold Nanoparticle Synthesis as a Probe for Oleuropein Self-Assembled Structure Formation.

Project description:Stable oleuropein-coated gold nanoparticles in aqueous media were synthesized for the first time. Oleuropein (OLE) concentration in the reaction medium was found to greatly influence the outcome and stability of the resulting nanocolloid, with a marked decrease in particle size being found for the more concentrated oleuropein solutions. The protection mechanisms involved in the stabilized nanosystems were analyzed. Oleuropein self-assembled structures were found to be formed at a concentration threshold of [OLE] > 5 × 10-5 M, and observed through the use of CryoSEM imaging. Those structures were responsible for both the increased stability and the decrease in size observed at the more concentrated solutions.

Non-cross-linking gold nanoparticle aggregation as a detection method for single-base substitutions.

Project description:Aggregation of DNA-modified gold nanoparticles in a non-cross-linking configuration has extraordinary selectivity against terminal mismatch of the surface-bound duplex. In this paper, we demonstrate the utility of this selectivity for detection of single-base substitutions. The samples were prepared through standard protocols: DNA extraction, PCR amplification and single-base primer extension. Oligonucleotide-modified nanoparticles correctly responded to the unpurified products from the primer extension: aggregation for the full match and dispersion for all the mismatches. Applicability of this method to genomic DNA was tested with five human tumor cell lines, and verified by conventional technologies: mass spectrometry and direct sequencing. Unlike the existing methods for single-base substitution analysis, this method does not need specialized equipments, and opens up a new possibility of point-of-care diagnosis for single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

Toggled RNA aptamers against aminoglycosides allowing facile detection of antibiotics using gold nanoparticle assays.

Project description:We have used systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) to isolate RNA aptamers against aminoglycoside antibiotics. The SELEX rounds were toggled against four pairs of aminoglycosides with the goal of isolating reagents that recognize conserved structural features. The resulting aptamers bind both of their selection targets with nanomolar affinities. They also bind the less structurally related targets, although they show clear specificity for this class of antibiotics. We show that this lack of aminoglycoside specificity is a common property of aptamers previously selected against single compounds and described as "specific". Broad target specificity aptamers would be ideal for sensors detecting the entire class of aminoglycosides. We have used ligand-induced aggregation of gold-nanoparticles coated with our aptamers as a rapid and sensitive assay for these compounds. In contrast to DNA aptamers, unmodified RNA aptamers cannot be used as the recognition ligand in this assay, whereas 2'-fluoro-pyrimidine derivatives work reliably. We discuss the possible application of these reagents as sensors for drug residues and the challenges for understanding the structural basis of aminoglycoside-aptamer recognition highlighted by the SELEX results.

Improvement of Seed-Mediated Growth of Gold Nanoparticle Labels for DNA Membrane-Based Assays.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are popular labels for colorimetric detection of various analytes, involving proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, and whole cells because of their outstanding optical properties, inertness, and modification variability. In this work, we present an improved approach for enhancement of color intensity for DNA membrane microarrays based on seed-mediated growth of AuNP labels. Biotin-labeled DNA is hybridized with capture oligonucleotide probes immobilized on the microarrays. Then biotin is revealed by a streptavidin-AuNP conjugate followed by the detection of AuNPs. Optimization of seed-mediated enlargement of AuNPs by the reduction of tetrachloroauric acid with hydroxylamine made it possible to change the coloring of specific spots on the microarrays from pink to a more contrasting black with minor background staining. Mean size of the resulting AuNPs was four times larger than before the enhancement. Adjusting the pH of HAuCl4 solution to 3.5 and use of a large excess of hydroxylamine increased the signal/background ratio by several times. The method's applicability was demonstrated for quantification of a short oligonucleotide of 19 bases and full-length TEM-type β-lactamase genes of 860 bp responsible for the development of bacterial resistance against β-lactam antibiotics. Improved protocol for AuNP enlargement may be further transferred to any other membrane-based assays of nucleic acids with both instrumental and visual colorimetric detection.
