  • Peptide nucleic acid probe-assisted paper-based electrochemical biosensor for multiplexed detection of respiratory viruses

    Lomae A., Teekayupak K., Preechakasedkit P., Pasomsub E., Ozer T., Henry C.S., Citterio D., Vilaivan T., Chailapakul O., Ruecha N.

    　View Summary

    The similar transmission patterns and early symptoms of respiratory viral infections, particularly severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza (H1N1), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), pose substantial challenges in the diagnosis, therapeutic management, and handling of these infectious diseases. Multiplexed point-of-care testing for detection is urgently needed for prompt and efficient disease management. Here, we introduce an electrochemical paper-based analytical device (ePAD) platform for multiplexed and label-free detection of SARS-CoV-2, H1N1, and RSV infection using immobilized pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acid probes. Hybridization between the probes and viral nucleic acid targets causes changes in the electrochemical response. The resulting sensor offers high sensitivity and low detection limits of 0.12, 0.35, and 0.36 pM for SARS-CoV-2 (N gene), H1N1, and RSV, respectively, without showing any cross-reactivities. The amplification-free detection of extracted RNA from 42 nasopharyngeal swab samples was successfully demonstrated and validated against reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (range of cycle threshold values: 17.43–25.89). The proposed platform showed excellent clinical sensitivity (100 %) and specificity (≥97 %) to achieve excellent agreement (κ ≥ 0.914) with the standard assay, thereby demonstrating its applicability for the screening and diagnosis of these respiratory diseases.

  • Basic evaluation of the CRISPR/Cas system stability for application to paper-based analytical devices

    Tanifuji Y., Suzuki H., Tong G., Hiruta Y., Citterio D.

    　View Summary

    Despite the promising features of the CRISPR/Cas system for application to point-of-care nucleic acid tests, there are only a few reports on its integration into paper-based analytical devices (PADs) for the purpose of assay simplification. In most cases, paper platforms have only been used for the final signal readout in an assay otherwise performed in a test tube. Therefore, there is very limited information on the suitability of the CRISPR/Cas system for on-device reagent storage. To fill this gap, the current work primarily investigated the influence of various factors, including the type of paper, reagent drying method, effect of stabilizers, and storage condition on the storage stability of reagents necessary for CRISPR-based assays on paper substrates, by comparing the fluorescence signal emitted by the trans-cleavage of the dsDNA-activated Cas12a complex. The results obtained in the form of fluorescence signals emitted after trans-cleavage of a ssDNA probe through a dsDNA-activated Cas12a complex on paper substrates showed that CRISPR-related reagents spontaneously dried at room temperature on BSA blocked paper retained over 70% of their initial activity when stored at −20 °C for 28 days, independent of the type of paper substrates, which was improved by the addition of sucrose as a stabilizer. In addition, reagents dried on paper substrates under the optimized conditions exhibited stronger heat tolerance at temperatures above 65 °C compared to their corresponding solutions. This work is expected to contribute to the future development of fully integrated PADs relying on CRISPR/Cas systems for point-of-care applications requiring no additional reagent handling.

  • Rational design of pH-responsive near-infrared spirocyclic cyanines: the effects of substituents and the external environment

    Sakama A., Seo H., Hara J., Shindo Y., Ikeda Y., Oka K., Citterio D., Hiruta Y.

    Chemical Communications 60 ( 46 ) 5984 - 5987 2024.05

    ISSN  13597345

    　View Summary

    pH-responsive spirocyclic cyanine dyes were designed and synthesized. The equilibrium constant for cyclization (pKcycl) could be rationally controlled by changing the nucleophilic moiety and the side chains. Encapsulation in polymeric micelles inhibited the H-aggregation of the dye, and the pKcycl could be shifted according to the amphiphilic polymer employed.

  • Simplified capture, extraction, and amplification of cellular DNA from water samples

    　View Summary

    DNA analysis in water samples is attracting attention in various fields. However, conventional methods for DNA analysis require a work-intensive and time-consuming sample pre-treatment. In this study, a simplified pre-treatment method for analyzing DNA in water samples was evaluated. The process consists of filtration, DNA extraction, and amplification, which can be achieved within a short time. In the filtration process, two types of filters, firstly a tissue paper (Kimwipe) and then a glass filter (GF/F), were used in sequence. The first large pore size filter enabled a reduction in filtration time by removing large particulate matter impurities present in river water matrix. Cells spiked into 1 L of river water were recovered at more than 90% within approximately 5 min filtration time. Also, DNA was extracted from the captured cells directly on the surface of the filter in only 5 min. Thus, DNA collection and extraction from a water sample can be completed within about 10 min. Furthermore, PCR amplification was performed directly from DNA-attached filter sections, which greatly reduced the number of required pre-treatment steps. Finally, we succeeded in establishing a simple and fast on-site pre-treatment system by using a hand-driven syringe filtration method. This pre-treatment system is expected to offer the possibility for the future establishment of a rapid and easy DNA analysis method applicable to various types of water samples.

  • Peroxidase-like Activity of Aptamer-Gold Nanoparticles for Selective and Sensitive Fluorescence Detection of Low-Density Lipoproteins

    Prakobkij A., Saenmuangchin R., Chunta S., Amatatongchai M., Citterio D., Jarujamrus P.

    　View Summary

    Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), commonly called “bad cholesterol”, is crucial to cardiovascular health. Increased LDL-C levels pose a substantial risk to human health. As a result, there is a demand for reliable, affordable, and highly sensitive analytical methods for LDL-C detection. Herein, a facile fluorometric aptasensor for LDL-C detection based on the aptamer-enhanced peroxidase-mimicking activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been developed. AuNPs were functionalized with LDL-C-specific thiolated aptamer to enhance their intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, which could effectively catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (OPD) by H2O2 into the yellow-fluorescent product 2,3-diamino phenazine (DAP). The characterization studies confirmed that the presence of the aptamer enhances the affinity of AuNPs toward the OPD substrate, thereby leading to a marked increase in the peroxidase-mimicking activity. Moreover, after being functionalized with an aptamer, increased dispersibility and substrate affinity of AuNPs were achieved. Using LDL-C as a target analyte, under optimum conditions, a linear relationship between smartphone-recorded signal intensity and the logarithm of the analyte concentration was observed in the range of 0.05-1 mg dL-1 and the limit of detection was 0.0230 mg dL-1. The results agree with those obtained by a clinical laboratory method. This proposed method is readily deployable and a promising prototype for diverse diagnostic applications, particularly in biomarker detection within serum or plasma samples. It holds the potential to yield substantial advantages in point-of-care testing.
