Abstract
The generation of DNase type I 3′OH DNA ends is closely related to the harm of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) and environmental genotoxic agents. The evaluation of this type of DNA damage plays an important role in clinical intervention and environmental toxicity assessment. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-assisted isothermal amplification (TAIA) offers a facile and versatile way to detect DNase type I 3′OH DNA ends. Its ability of templated-independent isothermal amplification is one unique feature. Here, we reported a paper-based analytical device (PAD) coupled with a smartphone for the detection of DNase type I 3′OH DNA ends using TAIA and colorimetric signal readout. We achieved the integration of cell lysis, DNA extraction, TAIA, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-enabled colorimetric reaction, and signal readout. This device could achieve a limit of detection of 264 cells with a total assay time of less than 45 min. By combining PAD with a smartphone, the integrated platform could be used for the visual and quantitative analysis of DNA damages with the advantages of ease-to-use, fast response, inexpensive, and instrument free. Furthermore, successful assessment of the genotoxicity in wastewater effluents suggested the great promise of the integrated platform for on-site testing in practical applications.
