Paper-based netlike rolling circle amplification (NRCA) for ultrasensitive and visual detection of SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: COVID-19 is a highly diffuse respiratory infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Currently, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) technology is commonly used in clinical diagnosis of COVID-19. However, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is limited in clinical application. Here, we propose a new method for the ultrasensitive and visual detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleic acid. The assay integrates with a paper device and highly efficient isothermal amplification technology - Netlike rolling circle amplification (NRCA), which can reach a limit of detection of 4.12 aM. The paper-based NRCA owns advantages of specificity, portability, visualization and low-cost. Therefore, this method can effectively meet the requirements of point-of-care testing, providing a novel molecular detection technology for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 and promoting the development of NRCA devices.

An ultrasensitive fluorescence aptasensor for SARS-CoV-2 antigen based on hyperbranched rolling circle amplification.

Project description:Sensitive and accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection at early stages can help to attenuate the effects of the COVID-19. Compared to RNA and antibodies detection, direct detection of viral antigens could reflect infectivity more appropriately. However, it is still a great challenge to construct a convenient, accurate and sensitive biosensor with a suitable molecular recognition element for SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Herein, we report a HRCA-based aptasensor for simple, ultrasensitive and quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein and pseudovirus. The aptamer sequence used here is selected from several published aptamers by enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay and molecular docking simulation. The sensor forms an antibody-target-aptamer sandwich complex on the surface of microplates and elicits HRCA for fluorescent detection. Without complicated operations or special instruments and reagents, the aptasensor can detect S1 protein with a LOD of 89.7 fg/mL in the linear range of 100 fg/mL to 1 μg/mL. And it can also detect SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudovirus in artificial saliva with a LOD of 51 TU/μL. Therefore, this simple and ultrasensitive aptasensor has the potential to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection at early stages. It may improve the timeliness and accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and demonstrate a strategy to conduct aptasensors for other targets.

A Novel Rolling Circle Amplification-Based Detection of SARS-CoV-2 with Multi-Region Padlock Hybridization.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 has remained a global health burden, primarily due to the continuous evolution of different mutant strains. These mutations present challenges to the detection of the virus, as the target genes of qPCR, the standard diagnostic method, may possess sequence alterations. In this study, we develop an isothermal one-step detection method using rolling circle amplification (RCA) for SARS-CoV-2. This novel strategy utilizes a multi-padlock (MP-RCA) approach to detect viral-RNA via a simplified procedure with the reliable detection of mutated strains over other procedures. We designed 40 padlock-based probes to target different sequences across the SARS-CoV-2 genome. We established an optimal one-step isothermal reaction protocol utilizing a fluorescent output detected via a plate reader to test a variety of padlock combinations. This method was tested on RNA samples collected from nasal swabs and validated via PCR. S-gene target failure (SGTF)-mutated strains of SARS-CoV-2 were included. We demonstrated that the sensitivity of our assay was linearly proportional to the number of padlock probes used. With the 40-padlock combination the MP-RCA assay was able to correctly detect 45 out 55 positive samples (81.8% efficiency). This included 10 samples with SGTF mutations which we were able to detect as positive with 100% efficiency. We found that the MP-RCA approach improves the sensitivity of the MP-RCA assay, and critically, allows for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants with SGTF. Our method offers the simplicity of the reaction and requires basic equipment compared to standard qPCR. This method provides an alternative approach to overcome the challenges of detecting SARS-CoV-2 and other rapidly mutating viruses.

Immunoassays with rolling circle DNA amplification: a versatile platform for ultrasensitive antigen detection.

Project description:We describe an adaptation of the rolling circle amplification (RCA) reporter system for the detection of protein Ags, termed "immunoRCA. " In immunoRCA, an oligonucleotide primer is covalently attached to an Ab; thus, in the presence of circular DNA, DNA polymerase, and nucleotides, amplification results in a long DNA molecule containing hundreds of copies of the circular DNA sequence that remain attached to the Ab and that can be detected in a variety of ways. Using immunoRCA, analytes were detected at sensitivities exceeding those of conventional enzyme immunoassays in ELISA and microparticle formats. The signal amplification afforded by immunoRCA also enabled immunoassays to be carried out in microspot and microarray formats with exquisite sensitivity. When Ags are present at concentrations down to fM levels, specifically bound Abs can be scored by counting discrete fluorescent signals arising from individual Ag-Ab complexes. Multiplex immunoRCA also was demonstrated by accurately quantifying Ags mixed in different ratios in a two-color, single-molecule-counting assay on a glass slide. ImmunoRCA thus combines high sensitivity and a very wide dynamic range with an unprecedented capability for single molecule detection. This Ag-detection method is of general applicability and is extendable to multiplexed immunoassays that employ a battery of different Abs, each labeled with a unique oligonucleotide primer, that can be discriminated by a color-coded visualization system. ImmunoRCA-profiling based on the simultaneous quantitation of multiple Ags should expand the power of immunoassays by exploiting the increased information content of ratio-based expression analysis.

Gold nanowire based electrical DNA detection using rolling circle amplification.

Project description:We present an electrical sensor that uses rolling circle amplification (RCA) of DNA to stretch across the gap between two electrodes, interact with metal nanoparticle seeds to generate an electrically conductive nanowire, and produce electrical signals upon detection of specific target DNA sequences. RCA is a highly specific molecular detection mechanism based on DNA probe circularization. With this technique, long single-stranded DNA with simple repetitive sequences are produced. Here we show that stretched RCA products can be metalized using silver or gold solutions to form metal wires. Upon metallization, the resistance drops from T? to k? for silver and to ? for gold. Metallization is seeded by gold nanoparticles aligned along the single-stranded DNA product through hybridization of functionalized oligonucleotides. We show that combining RCA with electrical DNA detection produces results in readout with very high signal-to-noise ratio, an essential feature for sensitive and specific detection assays. Finally, we demonstrate detection of 10 ng of Escherichia coli genomic DNA using the sensor concept.

Ultrasensitive Detection of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma-Related MiRNA through Garland Rolling Circle Amplification Integrated Catalytic Hairpin Assembly.

Project description:MiRNA is reported to be closely related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma and has the potential to be a biomarker for the early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, the detection of miRNAs remains to be improved, given their complexity and low sensitivity. Herein, we propose here a novel miRNA detection method through the integration of garland RCA and CHA. In detail, the method is composed of two important signal amplification processes. For the first signal amplification process, the target miRNA could initiate garland RCA and then generate a nicking site on the products with the assistance of Nb.BbvCI enzymes. Afterward, a CHA process is induced with a designed H probe through the two signal amplification processes; the method exhibited a much-improved sensitivity. At last, we believe that this method is a promising approach capable of being applied in screening, diagnosing, and prognosticating multiple diseases.

A novel ultrasensitive ECL sensor for DNA detection based on nicking endonuclease-assisted target recycling amplification, rolling circle amplification and hemin/G-quadruplex.

Project description:In this study, we describe a novel universal and highly sensitive strategy for the electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection of sequence specific DNA at the aM level based on Nt.BbvCI (a nicking endonuclease)-assisted target recycling amplification (TRA), rolling circle amplification (RCA) and hemin/G-quadruplex. The target DNAs can hybridize with self-assembled capture probes and assistant probes to form "Y" junction structures on the electrode surface, thus triggering the execution of a TRA reaction with the aid of Nt.BbvCI. Then, the RCA reaction and the addition of hemin result in the production of numerous hemin/G-quadruplex, which consume the dissolved oxygen in the detection buffer and result in a significant ECL quenching effect toward the O2/S2O8(2-) system. The proposed strategy combines the amplification ability of TRA, RCA and the inherent high sensitivity of the ECL technique, thus enabling low aM (3.8 aM) detection for sequence-specific DNA and a wide linear range from 10.0 aM to 1.0 pM. At the same time, this novel strategy shows high selectivity against single-base mismatch sequences, which makes our novel universal and highly sensitive method a powerful addition to specific DNA sequence detection.

Ultrasensitive multiplexed microRNA quantification on encoded gel microparticles using rolling circle amplification.

Project description:There is great demand for flexible biomolecule analysis platforms that can precisely quantify very low levels of multiple targets directly in complex biological samples. Herein we demonstrate multiplexed quantification of microRNAs (miRNAs) on encoded hydrogel microparticles with subfemtomolar sensitivity and single-molecule reporting resolution. Rolling circle amplification (RCA) of a universal adapter sequence that is ligated to all miRNA targets captured on gel-embedded probes provides the ability to label each target with multiple fluorescent reporters and eliminates the possibility of amplification bias. The high degree of sensitivity achieved by the RCA scheme and the resistance to fouling afforded by the use of gel particles are leveraged to directly detect miRNA in small quantities of unprocessed human serum samples without the need for RNA extraction or target-amplification steps. This versatility has powerful implications for the development of rapid, noninvasive diagnostic assays.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain using fluorescence probe and DNA flowers enabled by rolling circle amplification.

Project description:Using rolling circle amplification (RCA) and two different ways of signal readout, we developed analytical methods to detect the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein). We modified streptavidin-coated magnetic beads with an aptamer of RBD through a biotin-tagged complementary DNA strand (biotin-cDNA). Binding of RBD caused the aptamer to dissociate from the biotin-cDNA, making the cDNA available to initiate RCA on the magnetic beads. Detection of RBD was achieved using a dual signal output. For fluorescence signaling, the RCA products were mixed with a dsDNA probe labeled with fluorophore and quencher. Hybridization of the RCA products caused the dsDNA to separate and to emit fluorescence (λex = 488 nm, λem = 520 nm). To generate easily detectable UV-vis absorbance signal, the RCA amplification was extended to produce DNA flower to encapsulate horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The HRP-encapsulated DNA flower catalyzed a colorimetric reaction between H2O2 and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate an optical signal (λabs = 450 nm). The fluorescence and colorimetric assays for RBD have low detection limits (0.11 pg mL-1 and 0.904 pg mL-1) and a wide linear range (0.001-100 ng mL-1). For detection of RBD in human saliva, the recovery was 93.0-100% for the fluorescence assay and 87.2-107% for the colorimetric assay. By combining fluorescence and colorimetric detection with RCA, detection of the target RBD in human saliva was achieved with high sensitivity and selectivity.

Ultrasensitive detection of low-abundance surface-marker protein using isothermal rolling circle amplification in a microfluidic nanoliter platform.

Project description:With advances in immunology and cancer biology, there is an unmet need for increasingly sensitive systems to monitor the expression of specific cell markers for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools. To address this challenge, a highly sensitive labeling method that translates antigen-antibody recognition processes into DNA detection events that can be greatly amplified via isothermal rolling circle amplification (RCA) is applied. By merging the single-molecule detection power of RCA reactions with microfluidic technology, it is demonstrated that the identification of specific protein markers can be achieved on tumor-cell surfaces in miniaturized nanoliter reaction droplets. Furthermore, this combined approach of signal amplification in a microfluidic format could extend the utility of existing methods by reducing sample and reagent consumption and enhancing the sensitivities and specificities for various applications, including early diagnosis of cancer.

Dual-Signal Amplification Strategy for Sensitive MicroRNA Detection Based on Rolling Circle Amplification and Enzymatic Repairing Amplification.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles as post-transcriptional regulators for gene expression and serve as promising biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. Herein, a dual-signal amplification method has been developed for sensitive and selective detection of miRNA based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) and enzymatic repairing amplification (ERA) with low nonspecific background. This strategy designs a padlock probe that can be cyclized in the presence of target miRNA to initiate the RCA reaction, after which the TaqMan probes that are complementary to the RCA products can be cyclically cleaved to produce obvious fluorescence signals with the help of endonuclease IV (Endo IV). Attributed to the dual-signal amplification procedure and the high fidelity of Endo IV, the RCA-ERA method allows quantitative detection of miR-21 in a dynamic range from 2 pM to 5 nM with a low background signal. Moreover, it has the ability to discriminate single-base difference between miRNAs and shows good performance for miRNA detection in complex biological samples. The results demonstrate that the RCA-ERA assay holds a great promise for miRNA-based diagnostics.
