Article Abstract
CRISPR/Cas12a fluorimetry has been extensively developed in the biosensing arena, on account of its high selectivity, simplicity, and rapidness. However, typical CRISPR/Cas12a fluorimetry suffers from low sensitivity due to the limited trans-cleavage efficiency of Cas12a, necessitating the integration of other preamplification techniques. Herein, we develop an enhanced CRISPR/Cas12a fluorimetry via a DNAzyme-embedded framework nucleic acid (FNAzyme) substrate, which was designed by embedding four CLICK-17 DNAzymes into a rigid tetrahedral scaffold. FNAzyme can not only enhance the trans-cleavage efficiency of CRISPR/Cas12a by facilitating the exposure of trans-substrate to Cas12a but also result in an exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratio by mediating enzymatic click reaction. Combined with a functional nucleic acid recognition module, this method can profile methicillin-resistant as low as 18 CFU/mL, whose sensitivity is approximately 54-fold higher than that of TaqMan probe-mediated CRISPR/Cas12a fluorimetry. Meanwhile, the method exhibited satisfactory recoveries in food matrices ranging from 80% to 101%. The DNA extraction- and preamplification-free detection format as well as the potent detection performance highlight its tremendous potential as a next-generation analysis tool.

Accurate detection of glyphosate (GLY) residues is essential for protecting public health, ensuring food safety, and preventing environmental pollution caused by excessive or improper herbicide application. Based on the asymmetric CRISPR/Cas12a system as a signal amplification technique, with phosphorothioate-modified hairpin G-quadruplex (psHG4) acting as a signal probe, a platform named ACC-GLY is developed for the sensitive and accurate detection of GLY. In the designed ACC-GLY platform, the target GLY specifically binds to the aptamer, and the cascading signal amplification strategy, driven by the DNase activity of a single Cas12a, is initiated by two competitive guide RNAs.

The CRISPR/Cas12a system is extensively employed for nucleic acid detection, where crRNA is typically administered in excess to quantify target levels. However, its non-specific trans-cleavage activity poses challenges for achieving multiplexed detection within a single-pot CRISPR/Cas12a assay. In this study, we introduce a crRNA-limited strategy for multiplexed detection based on the CRISPR/Cas12a system, termed cliCRISPR.

Ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin commonly found in food products, poses significant health risks due to its carcinogenic and immunotoxic properties. The development of sensitive and specific detection methods for OTA is therefore essential. In this study, we developed a fluorescence aptasensor for sensitive and selective detection of OTA in complex food matrices.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) can leach into food and the environment, posing health and ecological risks. This paper introduces a novel CRISPR-based fluorescent aptasensor for on-site DEHP detection. The aptasensor selectively binds to DEHP, triggering a competitive displacement reaction that releases an Aptamer-dsDNA probe.
