Rational design of genotyping nanodevice for HPV subtype distinction
Abstract
There are more than 200 subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV), and high-risk HPVs are a leading cause of cervical cancer. Identifying the genotypes of HPV is significant for clinical diagnosis and cancer control. Herein, we used programmable and modified DNA as the backbone to construct fluorescent genotyping nanodevice for HPV subtype distinction. In our strategy, the dye-labeled single-stranded recognize-DNA (R-DNA) was hybridized with Black Hole Quencher (BHQ) labeled single-stranded link-DNA (L-DNA) to form three functionalized DNA (RL-DNA). Through the extension of polycytosine (poly-C) in L-DNA, three RL-DNAs can be more firmly adsorbed on graphene oxide to construct reliable genotyping nanodevice. The genotyping nanodevice had low background noise since the dual energy transfer, including Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from dye to BHQ and the resonance energy transfer (RET) from dye to graphene oxide. Meanwhile, the programmability of DNA allows the proposed strategy to simultaneously and selectively distinguish several HPV subtypes in solution using DNA labeled with different dyes. To demonstrate clinical potential, we show multiplexed assay of HPV subtypes in cervical scrapes, and it has been successfully applied in HPV-DNA analysis in cervical scrapes samples. The genotyping nanodevice could be developed for simultaneous and multiplex analysis of several oligonucleotides in a homogeneous solution by adjusting the recognition sequence, demonstrating its…
