A novel finding is herein reported that the bidirectional-signal nanoclusters self-assemble simultaneously on the nanoflowers as a result of four-way folding (FWF) nanoprobes and DNA rolling circle replication reactions. The functionalized FWF nanoprobe containing the identification region for two targets monitoring and the trigger region for amplification signals is first used to activate the clustered amplification for two cancer-related microRNAs (miRNAs) assays in single cells. Furthermore, the self-assembled nanoclusters with two-way amplification signals can provide more reliable information in situ in individual cell. Importantly, this new method can significantly distinguish cancer cells from normal cells and identify changes in the expression levels of cancer-related miRNAs for single cells. These findings have exciting potential to provide new opportunities for detection and enhance the accuracy of early disease diagnosis.

Determination of microRNAs (miRNAs) as valuable blood-borne biomarkers has attracted many scientific attentions. However, analytical methods are still restricted by miRNAs intrinsic characteristics. In this study, for the first time, novel blackberry-like magnetic DNA/FMMA nanospheres were synthesized and mounted on a gold stir-bar as signal amplification probes. To produce this strong electrochemical signal label, double strand DNAs were immobilized on gold coated magnetic nanospheres through a hybridization chain reaction followed by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization, which brought a great quantity of the electroactive tags (FMMA) on the nanosphere surface. These nanospheres were then fixed on the gold stir-bar as signal probes. The magnetic DNA/FMMA nanosphere probes can be released by substituting with the newly emerging DNA fragments of catalyzed hairpin assembly products. Eventually, these signal probes were magnetically enriched on the electrode surface to produce electrochemical signal and finally, the biosensor was developed to detect miRNA-106a (model target). The suggested aptamer-based biosensor demonstrated considerable selectivity, acceptable storage stability, high specificity, and excellent performance in real sample analysis without any pretreatments. As a result, current study reveals that the developed strategy has a great potential for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer and additionally the clinical monitoring of any miRNA sequences.

ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important biomarkers for tracking occurrence and development of many diseases, therefore, the reliable, sensitive, fast and accurate detection of miRNAs plays an extremely critical role in clinic diagnosis and treatment of early stage diseases. Herein, we developed ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor constructed by luminol-diazonium ion functionalized Au/MXene nanocomposites for early stage detection of kidney disease in human. The synergistic effect of MXene and Au nanoparticles significantly enhanced the ECL emission of luminol up to 6.9-fold due to their shortened electron transfer distance and excellent catalytic performance. The loading efficiency of luminol on MXene could be as high as ∼7%, enabling the enrichment of luminol on MXene nanosheets. The enhanced ECL signal and excessive loading of luminol allowed the Au-MXene-luminol as an excellent ECL labeling agent, which was further developed for the determination of miRNA-377 according to the sandwich-like assay. The as-developed miRNA-377 biosensor had ultrahigh sensitivity, wide linear range (from ∼50 aM to ∼1 nM), low limit of detection (∼13.2 aM) and high selectivity (∼82.6%) for highly homologous miRNA with mismatched single-bases. The ultrasensitive ECL biosensor was successfully applied to determine miRNA-377 in the serum samples of early stage kidney patients, which were well consistent with the clinic standard of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method. The ultrasensitive ECL-labeling biosensor with high selectivity is very promising for universally screening any kinds of biomarkers with corresponding specific targets.

A self-powered microRNA (miRNA) biosensing device is fabricated with high-energy enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC) and cruciform DNA (cDNA). Sulfur-selenium co-doped graphene/gold nanoparticles (S–Se-GR/AuNPs) is synthesized and used as supporting substrate of biocathode and bioanode . The glucose oxidase (GOD) molecules are bonded to carboxyl-functionalized AuNPs through the condensation reaction between the amino groups in enzyme and carboxyl groups on the AuNPs to form the bioanode. The ultra-thin porous carbon shell/AuNPs-complementary strand of cDNA (UPCS/AuNPs-cDNA) is meticulously designed. The potassium ferricyanides are then inserted in mesoporous UPCS/AuNPs as the biocathode electron acceptor , and the cruciform DNA bioconjugate is synthesized as signal amplifier. When target miRNA is added, the hybridization reaction happens between miRNA and capture probe DNA on the biocathode to open the capture probe DNA chain. Cruciform DNA bioconjugate is immobilized onto the biocathode through base pairing with the capture DNA on the biocathode, which can release electron acceptor [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3- , resulting in the dramatically increase of the open circuit voltage of the EBFCs. The self-powered biosensor responds linearly in the miRNA level range of 0.5–10000 fM with a detection limit of 1.5 × 10 −16 mol L −1 . Detection of miRNA in spiked serum samples is also realized with the self-powered biosensor, demonstrating its great potential in the clinical applications.
