Abstract:

Plant pathogen detection systems have been useful tools to monitor inoculum presence and initiate management schedules. More recently, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was successfully designed for field use in the grape powdery mildew pathosystem; however, false negatives or false positives were prevalent in grower-conducted assays due to the difficulty in perceiving the magnesium pyrophosphate precipitate at low DNA concentrations. A quantitative LAMP (qLAMP) assay using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based probe was assessed by grape growers in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Custom impaction spore samplers were placed at a research vineyard and six commercial vineyard locations, and were tested bi-weekly by the lab and by growers. Grower-conducted qLAMP assays used a beta-version of the Smart-DART handheld LAMP reaction devices (Diagenetix, Inc., Honolulu, HI, USA), connected to Android 4.4 enabled, Bluetooth-capable Nexus 7 tablets for output. Quantification by a quantitative PCR assay was assumed correct to compare the lab and grower qLAMP assay quantification. Growers were able to conduct and interpret qLAMP results; however, theErysiphe necatorinoculum quantification was unreliable using the beta-Smart-DART devices. The qLAMP assay developed was sensitive to one spore in early testing of the assay, but decreased to >20 spores by the end of the trial. The qLAMP assay is not likely a suitable management tool for grape powdery mildew due to losses in sensitivity and decreasing costs and portability for other, more reliable molecular tools.

Abstract:

An accurate method that rapidly detects the number of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) Cronobacter sakazakii was developed by combining propidium bromide with quantitative LAMP (PMA-QLAMP). The gyrB gene was the target for primers design. The optimal PMA treatment conditions were determined to eliminate the DNA amplification of 108 CFU/mL of dead C. sakazakii without affecting any viable C. sakazakii DNA amplification. Compared with the DNA of 24 strains of common non-C. sakazakii strains found in raw milk and dairy products, the DNA of only six C. sakazakii strains from different sources was amplified using PMA-QLAMP. The ability of PMA-QLAMP to quantitatively detect non-dead C. sakazakii in a 10% powdered infant formula (PIF) solution was limited to 4.3 × 102 CFU/mL and above concentrations. Pasteurizing 106 CFU/mL viable C. sakazakii yielded the maximum ratio of the VBNC C. sakazakii. PMA-QLAMP-based detection indicated that, although approximately 13% of 60 samples were positive for viable C. sakazakii, the C. sakazakii titers in these positive samples were low, and none entered the VBNC state under pasteurization. PMA-QLAMP showed potential as a specific and reliable method for detecting VBNC-C. sakazakii in pasteurized raw milk, thereby providing an early warning system that indicates potential contamination of PIF.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), continues to be a pandemic even in 2022. As the initial symptoms of COVID-19 overlap with those of infections from other respiratory viruses, an accurate and rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 is essential for administering appropriate treatment to patients. Currently, the most widely used method for detecting respiratory viruses is based on real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and includes reverse-transcription real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). However, RT-qPCR assays require sophisticated facilities and are time-consuming. This study aimed to develop a real-time quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-qLAMP) assay and compare its analytical performance with RT-qPCR. Materials and Methods: A total of 315 nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with symptoms of respiratory infections were included in this study. A primary screening of the specimens was performed using RT-qPCR. RNA/DNA from standard strains for respiratory viruses and heat-inactivated preparations of standard strains for SARS-CoV-2 were used to evaluate the accuracy and target specificity of the RT-qLAMP assay. Results: We successfully developed an RT-qLAMP assay for seven respiratory viruses: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) A, RSV B, adenovirus, influenza (Flu) A (H1N1 and H3N2), Flu B, and SARS-CoV-2. RT-qLAMP was performed in a final reaction volume of 9.6 µL. No cross-reactivity was observed. Compared with the RT-PCR results, the sensitivity and specificity of the RT-qLAMP assay were 95.1% and 100%, respectively. The agreement between the two methods was 97.1%. The median amplification time to RT-qLAMP positivity was 22:34 min (range: 6:80–47:98 min). Conclusions: The RT-qLAMP assay requires a small number of reagents and samples and is performed with an isothermal reaction. This study established a fast, simple, and sensitive test that can be applied to point-of-care testing devices to facilitate the detection of respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract:

Aspergillus flavus is an aflatoxin-producing fungus which is poisonous to humans and animals when consumed. Detecting the fungus can help to prevent this danger. The four molecular methods, namely, conventional isothermal amplification (LAMP), PCR, quantitative LAMP (qLAMP), and qPCR, were compared to determine their efficiency for A. flavus detection. Thirty samples of peanut and dried shrimp were collected from 15 markets around Pathum Thani Province in Thailand. The samples were artificially infected with 108 conidia/ml of A. flavus for 1 hr and enriched for one day to represent real contamination. The results show that the sensitivity detection for A. flavus in PCR, LAMP, qPCR, and qLAMP was 50 ng, 5 ng, 5 pg, and 5 pg, respectively. Aspergillus in 30 peanut and dried shrimp from the market was detected by all four methods. The detection rate was about 20%, 60%, 100%, and 100% with PCR, LAMP, qPCR, and qLAMP, respectively. The molecular detection technique, especially LAMP, qPCR, and qLAMP, can detect this pathogenic fungi very rapidly with high sensitivity and reliability in comparison to conventional PCR.

Abstract:

Salmonella is a bacterium that infects people when they consume contaminated food or liquids. To prevent humans from becoming ill, it is useful to have an efficient method of detecting Salmonella before the disease is passed on through the food chain. In this research, the efficiency of Salmonella detection was compared using the following four methods: conventional loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), PCR, quantitative LAMP (qLAMP), and qPCR. The artificial infection of chicken samples started with incubating of 10 mL of 108 CFU of S. typhimurium for 6 hr. and enriching for 2 hr. to represent real contamination of the samples. The results show that the sensitivity of Salmonella DNA detection in PCR, qPCR, LAMP, and qLAMP were 50 ng, 5 ng, 50 pg, and and 500 fg, respectively. Thirty samples of 10 g chicken were collected from 10 markets in Pathum Thani, Thailand; then, the infection was detected. The conventional LAMP, qLAMP, and qPCR methods detected Salmonella in all the chicken samples. However, the conventional PCR method detected Salmonella infection in only eight of the samples. Overall, the qLAMP method had the highest sensitivity of Salmonella DNA detection.

Abstract:

Gray leaf spot (GLS) is a destructive disease of perennial ryegrass caused by a host specific pathotype of the ascomycete Magnaporthe oryzae. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective disease management and the implementation of Integrated Pest Management practices. However, a rapid protocol for the detection of low levels of airborne inoculum is still missing. We developed a pathogen-specific quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) assay coupled with a spore trap system for rapid detection and quantification of airborne inoculum of the M. oryzae perennial ryegrass pathotype, and tested its suitability for implementation in GLS-infected turfgrass fields. In summer 2015, two perennial ryegrass plots were artificially inoculated with the pathogen, with four continuously running custom impaction spore traps placed in each plot. Sampling units were replaced daily and tested with the developed qLAMP assay, while plots were monitored for symptom development. Results confirmed that the qLAMP assay-trap system was able to detect as few as 10 conidia up to 12 days before symptoms developed in the field. LAMP technology is particularly appropriate for field implementation by nontechnical users, and has the potential to be a powerful decision support tool to guide timing of fungicide applications for GLS management.

Abstract:

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most devastating and cosmopolitan plant pathogens. Rapid detection of S. sclerotiorum can provide growers an advantage in knowing what control measures should be taken to minimize crop damage and financial losses caused by it. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a fast, sensitive, and specific nucleic acid amplification method that does not require a thermal cycler. This study aimed to develop a LAMP-based assay for the specific detection of S. sclerotiorum (Ss-LAMP). A real-time quantitative LAMP reaction (Ss-qLAMP) and a calcein ion indicator-based LAMP reaction (Ss-cLAMP) were designed, optimized, and tested on fungi, plant, and soil samples. The Ss-LAMP reactions were very specific and sensitive. Applying the artificially inoculated soil samples with DNA purified by five protocols in the Ss-qLAMP reaction, it was possible to detect and quantify the pathogen DNA, regardless of the extraction protocol. Naturally infected soybean tissues had the pathogen detected by Ss-cLAMP directly in the reaction tube with no DNA extraction requirement. The assays should be applicable for many types of samples, such as soil, spore traps, and plant tissues from several crops, with no requirement for DNA extraction. The Ss-LAMP reactions took less than 1 h to complete, and they can be made directly in the field with real-time quantitative results (Ss-qLAMP) or qualitative naked-eye visual results (Ss-cLAMP). Results were obtained with 10 pg of DNA or 10 ng of crude mycelium, suggesting a detection limit close to a single DNA copy. Ss-LAMP reactions will allow rapid and accurate diagnosis of S. sclerotiorum and assist in pathogen management and control.

Abstract:

In forensic study, the biological evidence can easily degrade, especially DNA. Degraded and environmentally challenged samples can produce numerous problems in forensic DNA analysis including loss of band product. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification or LAMP is one of the DNA analysis techniques used in forensic study. This study explores the limitations of the efficiency of the LAMP technique on abandoned DNA. For the DNA template, 8 male and 2 female blood-stained samples were taken from the surfaces, namely, brick, cloth, and tile from inside, and buried outside the laboratory. The LAMP reaction was used to amplify the SRY gene for detecting male DNA. All the blood-stained samples were stored for 1, 7, 15, 30, and 45 day (s). The LAMP product from the blood-stained samples on all the surfaces that were kept in a laboratory was detected using the gel electrophoresis technique from day 1 until day 45. However, the LAMP product on day 30 and 45 was smear and dim. The LAMP product from the blood-stained samples buried outside the laboratory was observed using the gel electrophoresis technique within day 30 (smear and dim). To increase the efficiency of detection, the qLAMP technique detected product on all the male samples from all the surfaces buried outside the laboratory for 45 days. The results indicate that this LAMP condition was possible detecting male DNA and the environmental factors are the main influence on the sensitivity of the LAMP technique. In addition, the qLAMP technique can increase the capacity and sensitivity of the detection.

Abstract:

This study explores the development of Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for detection of rose rosette virus (RRV), a technique with the potential to be translated to rose nurseries. RRV is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which is a member of the genus Emaravirus (Family Fimoviridae) and the causal agent of the rose rosette disease (RRD). Although RRV symptoms are characteristics, early visual diagnosis of RRD can be misleading and confusing since it may appear like herbicide damage. Moreover, it may take incubation time for symptoms to appear after virus infection. Two sets of RRV gene sequences RNA3 and RNA4 were analyzed and two sets of four LAMP primers were designed. The direct antigen-capture method for direct trapping of RRV in plastic was used for RNA extraction followed by cDNA synthesis. RT-LAMP reactions were for 1 hour at 64°C (RRV-P3) and 66.5°C (RRV-P4) using either a thermocycler or a portable dry bath. RT-qLAMP was also optimized using DNA polymerase GspSSD LD using the same RRV sets of primers. RRV was detected in symptomatic and non-symptomatic RRD tissue from Oklahoma. The limit of detection (LoD) was 1pg/μL and 1 fg/μL using Bst 2.0 LAMP and GspSSD LD quantitative LAMP, respectively. In visual colorimetric pre- and post-reactions, the LoD was 10 pg/μL and 0.1 pg/μL using hydroxy naphthol blue (HNB, 120 μM) and SYBR green I (1:10 dilution), respectively. No cross-reactivity was detected in the RT-LAMP reaction testing cDNAs of eight commonly co-infecting rose viruses and one virus taxonomically related to RRV. Four different dyes were tested, and visible colorimetric reactions were obtained with RT-LAMP Bst 2.0 combined with SYBR I or HNB. RT-qLAMP with GspSSD2.0 offers LoD equal to RT-PCR and it is faster since it works with RNA directly.

Abstract:

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has been recently studied as an alternative method for cost-effective diagnostics in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Recent reports document that LAMP-based diagnostic methods have a comparable sensitivity and specificity to that of RT-qPCR. We report the use of a portable Arduino-based LAMP-based amplification system assisted by pH microelectrodes for the accurate and reliable diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 during the first 3 min of the amplification reaction. We show that this simple system enables a straightforward discrimination between samples containing or not containing artificial SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in the range of 10 to 10,000 copies per 50 µL of reaction mix. We also spiked saliva samples with SARS-CoV-2 synthetic material and corroborated that the LAMP reaction can be successfully monitored in real time using microelectrodes in saliva samples as well. These results may have profound implications for the design of real-time and portable quantitative systems for the reliable detection of viral pathogens including SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract:

Humans are exposed to Toxoplasma gondii infection as pet cats gradually become family members and represent an increasing public health risk worldwide. Toxoplasmosis diagnosis constitutes an important measure for disease prevention and control. In this study, real-time fluorescence quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) and visual LAMP detection technologies were established to conduct tests of T. gondii based on the membrane DNA extraction method, and the optimal detection mix was determined by adding the protective reagent trehalose and screening the concentrations of Mg2+ and dNTPs. Paraffin and lyophilization were used to reduce and even remove aerosol pollution, constructing a detailed anti-contamination protocol. Based on the positive standard plasmid DNA, the LODs of qLAMP and visual LAMP were 92 copies/μL and 92 copies/μL, and the standard curve of qLAMP was Y=2.9503X+20.8992 with R2 = 0.99. The applicability of the qLAMP and visual LAMP assays in disease diagnosis was assessed by evaluating 200 clinical cat faeces samples. The assays showed good diagnostic consistency, with kappa values of 1.0 and 0.99 compared with TaqMan qPCR, respectively. Compared with TaqMan qPCR, the diagnostic specificity/sensitivity of qLAMP and visual LAMP were 100%/100% and 100%/80%, respectively. The qLAMP and visual LAMP assays reported here are rapid and simple tests without extensive sample preparation and have a short turnaround time within 60 min, making them suitable for point-of-care testing.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT To quantify viable probiotic Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) in fermented milk accurately and quickly, propidium monoazide combined with quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (PMA-qLAMP) was applied. The optimal PMA treatment conditions for treating a L. paracasei suspension were determined using an orthogonal test to eliminate the DNA amplification of 108 CFU/mL of dead L. paracasei. Primers were designed based on the species-specific gyrB gene of L. paracasei. A phylogenetic tree based on the gyrB gene showed that L. paracasei clustered on the same branch with 91% support. Compared with the 16 strains commonly found in fermented milk, three strains of L. paracasei showed positive PMA-qLAMP results, and the melting temperature was approximately 82.4°C. There was a linear relationship (R2 = 0.9983) between the Ct values and the logarithm of the concentration of viable bacteria. The PMA-qLAMP detection limit for the L. paracasei artificially added to fermented milk was 7.3 × 102 CFU/mL. There was no significant difference between the logarithm values of the concentration of viable L. paracasei of 50 fermented milk samples within shelf life using the PMA-qLAMP and plate count methods (P > 0.01). PMA-qLAMP is specific and accurate for obtaining reliable results faster than when using plate counts.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This study reports the development and optimization of a real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) method for rapid detection of Acetobacter aceti strain in red wine samples. Our results showed that the primers and probes designed for 16S rRNA were effective for A. aceti detection. The quantification limit of real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and qLAMP in pure culture was 2.05 × 101 colony forming units (CFU) mL−1. qLAMP had a sensitivity of 6.88 × 101 CFU mL−1 in artificially contaminated Changyu dry red wine (CDRW) and Changyu red wine (CRW), and 6.88 × 102 CFU mL−1 in artificially contaminated Greatwall dry red wine (GDRW), which was 10 times higher than that of qPCR. In conclusion, this newly developed qLAMP is a reliable, rapid and accurate method for the detection and quantification of A. aceti species in red wine samples. Furthermore, our work provides a standard reference method for the quantitative detection of A. aceti and other acetic acid bacteria during the fermentation and storage of red wine samples.

Abstract:

AbstractZebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is considered as one of the 100 most harmful IAS in the world. Traditional detection methods have limitations, and PCR based environmental DNA detection has provided interesting results for early warning. However, in the last years, the development of isothermal amplification methods has received increasing attention. Among them, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has several advantages, including its higher tolerance to the presence of inhibitors and the possibility of naked-eye detection, which enables and simplifies its potential use in decentralized settings. In the current study, a real-time LAMP (qLAMP) method for the detection of Dreissena polymorpha was developed and tested with samples from the Guadalquivir River basin, together with two real-time PCR (qPCR) methods using different detection chemistries, targeting a specific region of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome C oxidase subunit I. All three developed approaches were evaluated regarding specificity, sensitivity and time required for detection. Regarding sensitivity, both qPCR approaches were more sensitive than qLAMP by one order of magnitude, however the qLAMP method proved to be as specific and much faster being performed in just 9 min versus 23 and 29 min for the qPCR methods based on hydrolysis probe and intercalating dye respectively.

Abstract:

Russula subnigricans is the only deadly species in the genus Russula with a mortality rate of more than 50%, and Russula japonica is the most common poisonous species, making rapid species identification in mushroom poisoning incidents extremely important. The main objective of this study was to develop a rapid, specific, sensitive, and simple loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of R. subnigricans and R. japonica. Two sets of species-specific LAMP primers targeting internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions were designed to identify R. subnigricans and R. japonica. The results demonstrated that while LAMP could specifically detect R. subnigricans and R. japonica, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) could not distinguish R. subnigricans from Russula nigricans. In addition, the results demonstrated that, compared to electrophoresis-LAMP and real-time quantitative LAMP (RT-qLAMP), the detection sensitivity of HNB-LAMP (a mixture of LAMP with hydroxy naphthol blue (HNB) dye) for R. subnigricans could reach 0.5 pg/μl and was 100-fold higher than that of PCR. The LAMP reaction could be completed in 45 min, which is much faster than the conventional PCR. In the future, LAMP can be used a quick, specific, and sensitive detection tool in various fields.

Abstract:

Dengue is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in the world. Rapid, accurate and scalable diagnostics are key to patient management and epidemiological surveillance of the dengue virus (DENV), however current technologies do not match required clinical sensitivity and specificity or rely on large laboratory equipment. In this work, we report the translation of our smartphone-connected handheld Lab-on-Chip (LoC) platform for the quantitative detection of two dengue serotypes. At its core, the approach relies on the combination of Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) microchip technology to integrate an array of 78 × 56 potentiometric sensors, and a label-free reverse-transcriptase loop mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay. The platform communicates to a smartphone app which synchronises results in real time with a secure cloud server hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for epidemiological surveillance. The assay on our LoC platform (RT-eLAMP) was shown to match performance on a gold-standard fluorescence-based real-time instrument (RT-qLAMP) with synthetic DENV-1 and DENV-2 RNA and extracted RNA from 9 DENV-2 clinical isolates, achieving quantitative detection in under 15 min. To validate the portability of the platform and the geo-tagging capabilities, we led our study in the laboratories at Imperial College London, UK, and Kaohsiung Medical Hospital, Taiwan. This approach carries high potential for application in low resource settings at the point of care (PoC).

Abstract:

Objective: Chemotherapy induced phlebitis (CIP) is a side product of chemotherapy treatment for malignant tumors, which affects the therapeutic effect and quality of life of cancer patients, and still lacks a clear therapeutic means. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of QLTMP on CIP using network pharmacology and verified the anti-inflammatory mechanism of QLTMP in mice model induced by vinorelbine. Methods: Network pharmacology analysis was performed to identify bioactive compounds in QLTMP. The protein-protein interaction network was used to identify the core therapeutic targets of QLTMP against CIP. Analyzed biological function and pathway enrichment based on the identified core therapeutic targets. Evaluate the therapeutic effect of QLTMP in a model of CIP induced by vinorelbine to confirm the reliability of the network pharmacological analysis. Materials and methods: The 165 bioactive compounds of QLTMP matched the screening criteria and identified 19 core therapeutic targets of QLTMP against CIP. Biofunctional analysis showed that the therapeutic effect of QLTMP on CIP was mainly related to the inhibition of inflammation; while pathway enrichment analysis showed that TNF signaling pathway was involved in the inflammatory process. Experimental confirmation in mice model showed that QLTMP exerts anti-inflammatory effects through modulation of PI3K/AKT/TNF signaling pathway, a discovery consistent with the network pharmacological analysis. Discussion and conclusions: The network pharmacological analysis of the anti-inflammatory mechanism of QLTMP on CIP and its exploration of in vivo experiments provide a theoretical basis for the design of agents that can mitigate or cure CIP.
