An electrochemical aptasensor with N protein binding aptamer-complementary oligonucleotide as probe for ultra-sensitive detection of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic has affected the lives of hundreds of millions of people globally. There is no doubt that the development of fast and sensitive detection methods is crucial while the worldwide effective vaccination programs are miles away from actualization. In this study, we have reported an electrochemical N protein aptamer sensor with complementary oligonucleotide as probe for the specific detection of COVID-19. The electrochemical aptasensor was prepared by fixing the double-stranded DNA hybrid obtained by the hybridization of N protein aptamer and its Fc-labeled complementary strand on the surface of a gold electrode. After incubation with the target, the aptamer dissociated from the labeled complementary DNA oligonucleotide hybrid to preferentially bind with N protein in the solution. The concentration of N protein was measured by detecting the changes in electrochemical current signals induced by the conformational transformation of the complementary DNA oligonucleotide left on the electrode surface. The sensor had a linear relationship between the logarithm of the N protein concentration from 10 fM to 100 nM (ΔI_p = 0.098 log C_{N protein}/fM - 0.08433, R² = 0.99), and the detection limitation was 1 fM (S/N = 3). The electrochemical aptamer sensor was applied to test the spiked concentrations of throat swabs and blood samples from three volunteers, and the obtained results proved that the sensor has great potentials for the early detection of COVID-19 in patients.

Highly sensitive electrochemical aptasensor for SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection based on aptamer-binding induced multiple hairpin assembly signal amplification.

Project description:In this work, a brief electrochemical aptasensor was developed for highly sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen utilizing an aptamer-binding induced multiple hairpin assembly strategy for signal amplification. In the presence of SARS-CoV-2, a pair of aptamers was brought in a close proximity according to the aptamer-protein antigen binding, which initiated strand displacement reaction thereby triggering a multiple hairpin assembly to obtain long linear DNA concatemers on the electrode surface. As the fabricated hairpin probes were labeled with biotin, massive streptavidin-alkaline phosphatases (ST-ALP) could be further introduced on the electrode interface via biotin-streptavidin interaction thus generating strong electrochemical signal in electrolyte solution containing 1-naphthol phosphate. Benefiting from the non-enzymatic multiple hairpin assembly signal amplification strategy, the designed aptasensor for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein detection exhibited the wide linear range from 50 fg·mL-1 to 50 ng·mL-1 and low detection limit of 9.79 fg·mL-1. Meaningfully, this proposed electrochemical assay provided a potential application for the point of care analysis of viral diseases under ambient temperature.

Homogeneous Electrochemical Aptasensor for Sensitive Detection of Zearalenone Using Nanocomposite Probe and Silica Nanochannel Film.

Project description:Developing rapid and efficient analytical methods is of great importance for food safety Herein, we present a novel homogeneous electrochemical aptasensor for ultrasensitive quantitative determination of zearalenone (ZEN) based on a nanocomposite probe and silica nanochannel film. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-Vis characterization techniques confirm that graphene oxide (GO) bears an aromatic conjugated structure, along with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, facilitating the subsequent adsorption of cationic redox hexa-ammine-ruthenium (III) (Ru(NH3)63+) and anionic ZEN aptamer, to form a Ru(NH3)63+-ZEN aptamer-GO nanocomposite probe in a homogeneous solution. Vertically-ordered mesoporous silica films (VMSF) bearing silanol groups can be simply grown on the solid indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode surface and enable the selective preconcentration of Ru(NH3)63+, eventually leading to signal amplification. Since the detachment of Ru(NH3)63+ from the GO surface by the recognized ZEN aptamer in the presence of ZEN, more free Ru(NH3)63+ is released in solution and produces enhanced redox signals at the VMSF modified ITO electrode, allowing quantitative detection of ZEN. On the basis of the above sensing strategy, the proposed homogeneity, due to the assistance of graphene, as well as of the signal amplification and anti-fouling effects of VMSF, accurate analysis of ZEN can be realized in maize and Chinese chestnut samples.

A Polyamidoamine-Based Electrochemical Aptasensor for Sensitive Detection of Ochratoxin A.

Project description:Sensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) is significant and essential because OTA may pose risks to human and animal health. Here, we developed an electrochemical aptasensor for OTA analysis using polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers as a signal amplifier. As a carrier, PAMAM has numerous primary amino groups that can be coupled with thiolated complementary strand DNA (cDNA), allowing it to recognize aptamers bound to the surface of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), thereby improving the sensitivity of the aptasensor. When monitoring the positive samples, OTA was captured by the aptamer fixed on the HRP-conjugated AuNP surface by specific recognition, after which the formed OTA-aptamer conjugates were detached from the electrode surface, ultimately decreasing the electrochemical signal monitored by differential pulse voltammetry. The novel aptasensor achieved a broad linear detection range from 5 to 105 ng L-1 with a low detection limit of 0.31 ng L-1. The proposed aptasensor was successfully applied for OTA analysis in red wine, with recovery rates ranging from 94.15 to 106%. Furthermore, the aptasensor also exhibited good specificity and storage stability. Therefore, the devised aptasensor represents a sensitive, practical and reliable tool for monitoring OTA in agricultural products, which can also be adapted to other mycotoxins.

Truncated Electrochemical Aptasensor with Enhanced Antifouling Capability for Highly Sensitive Serotonin Detection.

Project description:Accurate determination of serotonin (ST) provides insight into neurological processes and enables applications in clinical diagnostics of brain diseases. Herein, we present an electrochemical aptasensor based on truncated DNA aptamers and a polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule-functionalized sensing interface for highly sensitive and selective ST detection. The truncated aptamers have a small size and adopt a stable stem-loop configuration, which improves the accessibility of the aptamer for the analyte and enhances the sensitivity of the aptasensor. Upon target binding, these aptamers perform a conformational change, leading to a variation in the Faraday current of the redox tag, which was recorded by square wave voltammetry (SWV). Using PEG as blocking molecules minimizes nonspecific adsorption of other interfering molecules and thus endows an enhanced antifouling ability. The proposed electrochemical aptamer sensor showed a wide range of detection lasting from 0.1 nM to 1000 nM with a low limit of detection of 0.14 nM. Owing to the unique properties of aptamer receptors, the aptasensor also exhibits high selectivity and stability. Furthermore, with the reduced unspecific adsorption, assaying of ST in human serum and artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) showed excellent performance. The reported strategy of utilizing antifouling PEG describes a novel approach to building antifouling aptasensors and holds great potential for neurochemical investigations and clinical diagnosis.

Sensitive Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Variants Using an Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Based Aptasensor.

Project description:The global pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused a threat to public health and a worldwide crisis. This raised the need for quick, effective, and sensitive detection tools to prevent the rapid transmission rate of the infection. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)-based aptasensor employing an interdigitated gold electrode (IDE) to detect SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) glycoprotein and viral particles. This allowed us to sensitively detect SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 pg/mL in a buffer solution and to obtain a linear increase for concentrations between 0.2 to 0.8 pg/mL with high specificity. The proposed aptasensor also showed a good sensitivity towards the heat-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 variants in a buffer solution, where the Delta, Wuhan, and Alpha variants were captured at a viral titer of 6.45 ± 0.16 × 103 TCID50/mL, 6.20 × 104 TCID50/mL, and 5.32 ± 0.13 × 102 TCID50/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the detection of SARS-CoV-2 performed in a spiked human nasal fluid provided an LOD of 6.45 ± 0.16 × 103 TCID50/mL for the Delta variant in a 50 µL sample and a detection time of less than 25 min. Atomic force microscopy images complemented the EIS results in this study, revealing that the surface roughness of the IDE after each modification step increased, which indicates that the target was successfully captured. This label-free EIS-based aptasensor has promising potential for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 in complex clinical samples.

A cooperative-binding split aptamer assay for rapid, specific and ultra-sensitive fluorescence detection of cocaine in saliva.

Project description:Sensors employing split aptamers that reassemble in the presence of a target can achieve excellent specificity, but the accompanying reduction of target affinity mitigates any overall gains in sensitivity. We for the first time have developed a split aptamer that achieves enhanced target-binding affinity through cooperative binding. We have generated a split cocaine-binding aptamer that incorporates two binding domains, such that target binding at one domain greatly increases the affinity of the second domain. We experimentally demonstrate that the resulting cooperative-binding split aptamer (CBSA) exhibits higher target binding affinity and is far more responsive in terms of target-induced aptamer assembly compared to the single-domain parent split aptamer (PSA) from which it was derived. We further confirm that the target-binding affinity of our CBSA can be affected by the cooperativity of its binding domains and the intrinsic affinity of its PSA. To the best of our knowledge, CBSA-5335 has the highest cocaine affinity of any split aptamer described to date. The CBSA-based assay also demonstrates excellent performance in target detection in complex samples. Using this CBSA, we achieved specific, ultra-sensitive, one-step fluorescence detection of cocaine within fifteen minutes at concentrations as low as 50 nM in 10% saliva without signal amplification. This limit of detection meets the standards recommended by the European Union's Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines program. Our assay also demonstrates excellent reproducibility of results, confirming that this CBSA-platform represents a robust and sensitive means for cocaine detection in actual clinical samples.

Ultra pH-sensitive detection of total and free prostate-specific antigen using electrochemical aptasensor based on reduced graphene oxide/gold nanoparticles emphasis on TiO<sub>2</sub>/carbon quantum dots as a redox probe.

Project description:The development of a rapid, sensitive, and straightforward detection method of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is indispensable for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). This work relates an electrochemical method using functionalized single-stranded DNA aptamer to diagnose PCa and benign prostate hyperplasia. The sensing platform relies on PSA recognition by aptamer/Au/GO-nanohybrid-modified glassy carbon electrode. Besides ferrocyanide TiO2/carbon quantum dots (CQDs) probe is used to investigate the effect of nanoparticle-containing electrolyte. Optimization of incubation time of aptamer/Au/GO-nanohybrid and volume fraction of nafion were done using Design Expert 10 software reporting 42.4 h and 0.095% V/V, respectively. In ferrocyanide medium, PSA detection as low as 3, 2.96, and 0.85 ng mL-1 was achieved with a dynamic range from 0.5 to 7 ng ml-1, in accord with clinical values, using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, respectively. Moreover, this sensor exhibited conspicuous performance in TiO2/CQDs-containing medium with different pH values of 5.4 and 8 to distinguish total PSA and free PSA, resulting in very low limit of detections, 0.028, and 0.007 ng ml-1, respectively. The results manifested the proposed system as a forthcoming sensor in a clinical and point of care analysis of PSA.

Ultra-sensitive detection of kanamycin for food safety using a reduced graphene oxide-based fluorescent aptasensor.

Project description:Overuse of antibiotics has caused serious problems, such as appearance of super bacteria, whose accumulation in the human body through the food chain is a concern. Kanamycin is a common antibiotic used to treat diverse infections; however, residual kanamycin can cause many side effects in humans. Thus, development of an ultra-sensitive, precise, and simple detection system for residual kanamycin in food products is urgently needed for food safety. In this study, we identified kanamycin-binding aptamers via a new screening method, and truncated variants were analyzed for optimization of the minimal sequence required for target binding. We found various aptamers with high binding affinity from 34.7 to 669 nanomolar Kdapp values with good specificity against kanamycin. Furthermore, we developed a reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based fluorescent aptasensor for kanamycin detection. In this system, kanamycin was detected at a concentration as low as 1?pM (582.6?fg/mL). In addition, this method could detect kanamycin accurately in kanamycin-spiked blood serum and milk samples. Consequently, this simple, rapid, and sensitive kanamycin detection system with newly structural and functional analysis aptamer exhibits outstanding detection compared to previous methods and provides a new possibility for point of care testing and food safety.

Allosteric aptasensor-initiated target cycling and transcription amplification of light-up RNA aptamer for sensitive detection of protein.

Project description:The early detection of biomarker proteins in clinical samples is of great significance for the diagnosis of diseases. However, it is still a challenge to detect low-concentration protein. Herein, a label-free aptamer-based amplification assay, termed the ATC-TA system, that allows fluorescence detection of very low numbers of protein without time-consuming washing steps and pre-treatment was developed. The target induces a conformational change in the allosteric aptasensor, triggers the target cycling and transcription amplification, and ultimately converts the input of the target protein into the output of the light-up aptamer (R-Pepper). It exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity with a detection limit of 5.62 fM at 37 ℃ and the accuracy is comparable to conventional ELISA. ATC-TA has potential application for the detection of endogenous PDGF-BB in serum samples to distinguish tumor mice from healthy mice at an early stage. It also successfully detects exogenous SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins in human serum. Therefore, this high-sensitive, universality, easy-to-operate and cost-effective biosensing platform holds great clinical application potential in early clinical diagnosis.
