RESUMO

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) colorimetric assays based on distance-dependent optical characteristics have been widely employed for bioanalysis. However, this assay is not effective for visually detecting low-concentration targets due to the faint color change. Here, we developed a handheld nano-centrifugal device which could separate the crosslinked and non-crosslinked AuNPs. Results showed that the handheld nano-centrifugal device could easily reach more than 6000 r/min within 10 s simply by stretching and tightening the coiled rope in an appropriate rhythm. Further, combined with the CRISPR/Cas12a nucleic acids recognition system, a field-deployable colorimetric platform termed handheld nano-centrifugal device assisted CRISPR/Cas12a (Hand-CRISPR) has been validated. Moreover, clinical diagnostics applications for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection with high sensitivity and accuracy (100% consistency with reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) test results) have been demonstrated. Overall, the Hand-CRISPR platform showed great promise in point-of-care-test (POCT) application, expected to become a powerful supplement to the standard nucleic acid testing method in remote or poverty-stricken areas.

RESUMO

Accurate and non-invasive monitoring of allograft posttransplant is essential for early detection of acute cellular rejection and determines the long-term survival of the graft. Clinically, tissue biopsy is the most effective approach for diagnosing transplant rejection. Nonetheless, the procedure is invasive and potentially triggers organ failure. This work aims to design and apply GzmB-responsive nanosensors (GBRNs) that can readily size-change in graft tissues. Subsequently, we investigate the activity of serine protease granzyme B by generating a direct colorimetric urinary readout for non-invasive detection of transplant rejection in under 1 h. In preclinical heart graft mice models of transplant rejection, GBRNs were cleaved by GzmB and excreted by the kidneys via accurate nanometre-size glomerular filtration. By exploiting the catalytic activity of ultrasmall gold nanoclusters, GBRNs urinalysis promotes ultrasensitive surveillance of rejection episodes with a receiver operator characteristic curve area under the curve of 0.896 as well as a 95% confidence interval of about 0.7701-1.000. Besides, the catalytic activity of gold nanoclusters in urine can be detected at point-of-care testing to predict the immunity responses in mice with insufficient immunosuppressive therapy. Therefore, this non-invasive, sensitive, and quantitative method is a robust and informative approach for rapid and routine monitoring of transplant allografts without invasive biopsy.
