SsDNA aptamers against amyloid-β peptide as biomarker and inhibtor [SELEX]


ABSTRACT: We report high-affinity ssDNA aptamers as biomarkers and antagonists of amyloid-β peptide. We generated three novel aptamer sequences from the pool of aptamers through the SELEX process, and evaluated their affinity and sensitivity using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). (The forward primer: ATTAGTCAAGAGGTAGACGCACATA, reverse primer TTCTGGTCGTCGTGACTCCTAT) The ssDNA aptamers modeled into a three-dimensional structure; interaction and mechanism of action derived through molecular dynamics simulations (MD). MD simulations revealed the nature of binding and inhibition of aggregation by binding with amyloid-β peptide monomers, dimers, and other oligomers. The presence of high non-bonded interaction energy along with hydrogen bonds constitutes the complex structure of the aptamer-amyloid-β peptide. Furthermore, the changes in the secondary structure induced by aptamers may help remove the peptide through the blood-brain barrier. This study provided a framework for the application of aptamers against amyloid-β peptides as biomarkers and antagonists.
