The effects of flow type on aptamer capture in differential mobility cytometry cell separations

In this work, differential mobility cytometry (DMC) was used to monitor cell separation based on aptamer recognition for target cells. In this device, open-tubular capillaries coated with Sgc8 aptamers were used as affinity chromatography columns for separation. After cells were injected into the columns, oscillating flow was generated to allow for long-term cell adhesion studies. This process was monitored by optical microscopy, and differential imaging was used to analyze the cells as they adhered to the affinity surface. We investigated the capture time, capture efficiency, purity of target and control cells, as well as the reusability of the affinity columns. Capture time for both CCRF-CEM cells and Jurkat T cells was 0.4 ± 0.2 s, which demonstrated the high separation affinity between aptamers and target cells. The capture efficiency for CCRF-CEM cells was 95% and purity was 99% in a cell mixture. With the advantage of both high cell capture efficiency and purity, DMC combined with aptamer-based separation emerges as a powerful tool for rare cell enrichment. In addition, aptamer-based DMC channels were found to be more robust than antibody based channels with respect to reuse of the separation device.     

Modified capillary electrophoresis based measurement of the binding between DNA aptamers and an unknown concentration target

The recognition of targets such as biomacromolecules, viruses and cells by their aptamers is crucial in aptamer-based biosensor platforms and research into protein function. However, it is difficult to evaluate the binding constant of aptamers and their targets that are hard to purify and quantify, especially when the targets are undefined. Therefore, we aimed to develop a modified capillary electrophoresis based method to determine the dissociation constant of aptamers whose targets are hard to quantify. A protein target, human thrombin, and one of its aptamers were used to validate our modified method. We demonstrated that the result calculated by our method, only depending on the aptamer’s concentrations, was consistent with the classical method, which depended on the concentrations of both the aptamers and the targets. Furthermore, a series of DNA aptamers binding with avian influenza virus H9N2 were confirmed by a four-round selection of capillary electrophoresis–systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, and we identified the binding constant of these aptamers by directly using the whole virus as the target with the modified method. In conclusion, our modified method was validated to study the interaction between the aptamer and its target, and it may also advance the evaluation of other receptor–ligand interactions.

Aptamer‐modified magnetic metal‐organic framework MIL‐101 for highly efficient and selective enrichment of ochratoxin A

A facile and efficient strategy is developed to modify aptamers on the surface of the magnetic metal‐organic framework MIL‐101 for the rapid magnetic solid‐phase extraction of ochratoxin A. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to create a robust aptamer‐modified magnetic MIL‐101 with covalent bonding for the magnetic separation and enrichment of ochratoxin A. The saturated adsorption of ochratoxin A by aptamer‐modified magnetic MIL‐101 was 7.9 times greater than that by magnetic metal‐organic framework MIL‐101 due to the former's high selective recognition as well as good stability. It could be used for extraction more than 12 times with no significant changes in the extraction efficiency. An aptamer‐modified magnetic MIL‐101‐based method of magnetic solid‐phase extraction combined with ultra high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry was developed for the determination of trace ochratoxin A with limit of detection of 0.067 ng/L. Ochratoxin A of 4.53–13.7 ng/kg was determined in corn and peanut samples. The recoveries were in the range 82.8–108% with a relative standard deviation (n = 5) of 4.5–6.5%. These results show that aptamer‐modified magnetic MIL‐101 exhibits selective and effective enrichment performance and have excellent potential for the analysis of ultra‐trace targets from complex matrices.     

A review on the therapeutic applications of aptamers and aptamer-conjugated nanoparticles in cancer,inflammatory and viral diseases

The advancement in early diagnosis and precise treatments options result in more predictable and powerful health care modalities. Aptamers are known as nucleic acid structures with three-dimensional conformation to selectively bind a target site. Physicochemical properties of aptamers, their conjugation with nanoparticles (NPs) in theranostics applications and their internalization have been found to be of interest in development of aptamer-based drug delivery systems. Therefore, we aimed to present an overview on the structure and generation of aptamers followed by advantages of aptamers-conjugated NPs and their theranostics applications in various diseases such as oncology, inflammatory diseases and viral diseases. Afterward, we discussed several reports on the internalization approaches of aptamers, efficiency of aptamers vs. their analogous, and implications of aptamers in clinical trials. Finally, we discussed the current challenges and future perspectives of actively targeted aptamers for clinical application. In conclusion, this review may hold a great promise for development of aptamer-based therapeutic platforms in clinical trials.     

New extraction sorbent based on aptamers for the determination of ochratoxin A in red wine

A new solid phase extraction method based on aptamers, an oligosorbent, was developed and applied to the determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) from red wine. Two solid supports were chosen to immobilize OTA aptamer by covalent binding (cyanogen bromide-activated sepharose) or noncovalent binding (streptavidin-activated agarose). The resulting oligosorbents were evaluated in terms of retention, selectivity, and capacity. To assess the selectivity of the resulting oligosorbents, control supports made only of a solid support without immobilized aptamers were simultaneously studied. After optimization of the selective extraction procedure, extraction recoveries close to 100% were obtained on both materials. No retention was observed on the control supports. A similar capacity was also found for both oligosorbents. However, the immobilization by covalent bonding appeared more robust for the determination of OTA in the wine. A conventional sorbent and an immunoaffinity column were also applied to the determination of OTA in red wine to compare the potential of the various approaches for the treatment of such complex samples.
