ABSTRACT
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is one of the most widely used isothermal amplification technologies in molecular diagnostics. However, LAMP operates at a high temperature of 65 °C; thus, operating LAMP at a lower temperature is desirable to maximize its usefulness for on-site diagnosis. In this study, we propose a new version of LAMP, termed low-temperature LAMP, which operates at the physiological temperature of 37 °C. Low-temperature LAMP differs from conventional LAMP operating at 65 °C in terms of the concentrations of MgSO4 and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), as well as the lengths of DNA probes, which are crucial for the execution of low-temperature LAMP. Under the optimal conditions, the amplification efficiency of low-temperature LAMP is comparable to that of conventional LAMP. In addition, the ligation reaction at 37 °C, which is necessary to detect actual target nucleic acids, is combined without altering the temperature, enabling the identification of miR-21, a cancer-promoting oncogenic miRNA, with high sensitivity and selectivity. The method described in this paper does not require expensive DNA modifications or special additives and would facilitate the widespread application of LAMP in facility-limited or point-of-care settings, paving the way to improvements in other isothermal-amplification-based techniques.
