Photocontrolled crRNA activation enables robust CRISPR-Cas12a diagnostics
2022
Overview
CRISPR diagnostics based on nucleic acid amplification faces barriers to its commercial use, such as contamination risks and insufficient sensitivity. Here, we propose a robust solution involving optochemical control of CRISPR RNA (crRNA) activation in CRISPR detection. Based on this strategy, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and CRISPR-Cas12a detection systems can be integrated into a completely closed test tube. crRNA can be designed to be temporarily inactivated so that RPA is not affected by Cas12a cleavage. After the RPA reaction is completed, the CRISPR-Cas12a detection system is activated under rapid light irradiation. This photocontrolled, fully closed CRISPR diagnostic system avoids contamination risks and exhibits a more than two orders of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with the conventional one-pot assay. This photocontrolled CRISPR method was applied to the clinical detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA, achieving detection sensitivity and specificity comparable to those of PCR. Furthermore, a compact and automatic photocontrolled CRISPR detection device was constructed.
