Aptamers are nucleic acid ligands that bind specifically to a target of interest. Aptamers have gained in popularity due to their high potential for different applications in analysis, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The procedure called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is used for aptamer isolation from large nucleic acid combinatorial libraries. The huge number of unique sequences implemented in the in vitro evolution in the SELEX process imposes the necessity of performing extensive sequencing of the selected nucleic acid pools. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) meets this demand of SELEX. Analysis of the data obtained from sequencing of the libraries produced during and after aptamer isolation provides an informative basis for precise aptamer identification and for examining the structure and function of nucleic acid ligands. This review discusses the technical aspects and the potential of the integration of HTS with SELEX.

Selection of blood glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)- and total hemoglobin (Hb)-specific single-stranded DNA aptamers was performed on a microfluidic chip to continuously and automatically carry out multiple rounds of systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) processes.

The aim of the research. To obtain aptamers-inhibitors of platelet glycoprotein IIb / IIIa receptors, blocking platelet aggregation. Material and methods. Th e selection of aptamers for IIb / IIIa receptors of platelets was carried out according to the SELEX method (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment), modifi ed to select aptamers for a specifi c epitope. Th e method allows selection and in vitro evolution of aptamers with selectivity to a specifi c target from a large library of oligonucleotides. Th e affi nity of aptamers for platelet IIb / IIIa receptors was determined using fl ow cytometry. Results. Pools of aptamers of aptamers with high affi nity for IIb / IIIa platelet receptors were obtained. Th e study of the antiaggregation properties of the pools with the best binding showed that platelet aggregation was minimal when using the aptamers from the pool of the 5th round of selection. Th us, the aptamers of this pool have the greatest potential to be used as an analogue of a synthetic peptide that blocks thromboaggregation. Aptamers from this pool were taken for sequencing in order to obtain sequences of aptamers with the best antiaggregatory properties. Conclusion. Pools of aptamers with high affi nity for IIb / IIIa receptors of platelets and anticoagulant activity were obtained.

: Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides generated by a novel in vitro selection technique termed Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). During the past two decades, various aptamer drugs have been developed and many of them have entered into clinical trials. : In the present review, we focus on aptamers as potential therapeutics for hematological diseases, including anemia of chronic inflammation (ACI) and anemia of chronic disease (ACD), hemophilia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) or VWD type-2B, and sickle cell disease (SCD), in particular, those that have entered into clinical trials

Differential cell systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is anin vitroselection method for obtaining molecular recognition elements (MREs) that specifically bind to individual cell types with high affinity. MREs are selected from initial large libraries of different nucleic or amino acids. This review outlines the construction of peptide and antibody fragment libraries as well as their different host types. Common methods of selection are also reviewed. Additionally, examples of cancer cell MREs are discussed, as well as their potential applications.

ABSTRACT Interleukin-6 (IL-6) binds to IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) subunit, related to autoimmune diseases and cytokine storm in COVID-19. In this study we performed Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment (SELEX) and identified a novel RNA aptamer. This RNA aptamer not only bound to IL-6R with a dissociation constant of 200 nM, but also inhibited the interaction of IL-6R with IL-6.
