As a member of the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide family, rhenium disulfide (ReS2) is a highly competitive favorite in the field of photoelectric sensors. Nevertheless, the rapid recombination of electron–hole pairs and poor electronic transmission capacity of pure ReS2 limit its wider applications. As a new attempt to optimize its inherent structure and challenge its competency boundary, in this work, a bimetallic co-chamber feeding atomic layer deposition with a precise dose regulation strategy has been used to fabricate ReS2 nanotubes (ReS2-NTs) and MoS2–ReS2 heterojunction nanotubes (MoS2–ReS2-HNTs) based on the anodic aluminum oxide template sacrifice method for the first time. These obtained NTs have at least two advantages: they have a controllable diameter (40–500 nm), definite wall thickness (1 layer to 10 layers), and desirable Mo-to-Re ratio (0 to 90%), and their electron-transfer capacity and photocurrent response can be effectively enhanced by the incorporated Mo atoms. Further experiments indicated that MoS2–ReS2-HNTs with a real Mo-to-Re ratio of 31.0% exhibits the best photocurrent response performance, by which the ultrasensitive detection of cancer-related miRNA-155 with a linear range of 10 aM to 1 nM and a detection limit of 1.8 aM is achieved.

MiRNA-155 is a typical biomarker for breast cancer. Since its low concentration in the physiological environment and the limitations of conventional miRNA detection methods like Northern imprinting and RT-qPCR, convenient, real-time, and rapid detection methods are urgently needed. In this work, an electrochemical biosensor was constructed based on the flower-like MoSe 2 @1T-MoS 2 heterojunction electrode material and specific RNA recognition probes, which can realize the rapid determination of miRNA-155 content with a wide detection range from 1 fM to 1 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.34 fM. Furthermore, the contents of miRNA-155 in blood samples of tumor-bearing mice and normal mice were measured as 724.93 pM and 21.42 pM, respectively by this biosensor, demonstrating its strong identification ability and miRNA-155 can be regarded as an ideal diagnostic marker. On this basis, a portable sensor platform was designed for on-site detection simulation and showed good recovery efficiency from 95.80% to 98.69%. Meanwhile, compared with the standard detection method RT-qPCR, the accuracy and reliability of the biosensor were verified, indicating that the biosensor has the potential to provide point-of-care testing (POCT) for the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

A specific and sensitive method was developed for quantitative detection of miRNA by integrating horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-assisted catalytic reaction with a simple electrochemical RNA biosensor. The electrochemical biosensor was constructed by a double-stranded DNA structure . The structure was formed by the hybridization of thiol-tethered oligodeoxynucleotide probes (capture DNA), assembled on the gold electrode surface , with target DNA and aminated indicator probe (NH 2 -DNA). After the construction of the double-stranded DNA structure, the activated carboxyl groups of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) assembled on NH 2 -DNA. GQDs were used as a new platform for HRP immobilization through noncovalent assembly. HRP modified biosensor can effectively catalyze the hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )-mediated oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), accompanied by a change from colorless to blue in solution color and an increased electrochemical current signal. Due to GQDs and enzyme catalysis, the proposed biosensor could sensitively detect miRNA-155 from 1 fM to 100 pM with a detection limit of 0.14 fM. High performance of the biosensor is attributed to the large surface-to-volume ratio, excellent compatibility of GQDs. For these advantages, the proposed method holds great potential for analysis of other interesting tumor makers.

Introduction: To investigate the effect and mechanism of Kaempferol on alcoholic steatohepatitis. Methods: C57BL/6 N mice were utilized to establish Binge-on-Chronic alcohol exposure mice model. Kaempferol was given as the interventional drug to chronic alcohol-fed mice for six weeks to assess its effects. In vitro, intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells were stimulated by alcohol, and miRNA-155 mimics were used to further study the effect of kaempferol to miRNA-155 signaling in intestinal epithelial cells. HE staining and oil red O staining were used to observe the liver and intestinal tissue damage in each group of mice, and ALT, AST, IL-1B and TNF-a were detected by kits; LPS expression was detected by ELISA kit, and the expression of IL-1B and TNF-a was assessed by qRT-PCR; activated inflammatory response of liver and colon tissue and the related signalling pathway activation. Results: Kaempferol treatment significantly improved pathological changes such as steatosis and vacuolated lesions in liver tissue of the alcohol diet model group, and reduced serum ALT and AST enzyme activities and liver tissue interleukin-1β and tumour necrosis factor-α mRNA expression levels. Kaempferol significantly reduced the expression of miRNA-155 in the intestinal tissue of alcohol-fed mice, significantly increased their SOCS1 protein expression, inhibited the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B and significantly increased the production of the intestinal tight junction proteins occludin and ZO-1. What's more, kaempferol significantly reduced serum LPS levels in ASH mice. In vitro experiments showed that compared with the control group, kaempferol significantly inhibited the expression level of miRNA-155 in Caco-2 cells under ethanol exposure, decreased the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B, led to an increase in the expression of SOCS1 protein, and increased the production level of occludin protein in Caco-2 cells under the effect of alcohol. In contrast, overexpression of miRNA-155 significantly decreased occludin and SOCS1 protein production and increased nuclear factor kappa-B activation levels in Caco-2 cells, and the administration of kaempferol significantly inhibited this effect. Conclusion: Kaempferol improved the stability of gut barrier function to ameliorate hepatic injury induced by alcohol intake through enhancing occludin protein expression, by targeting miR-155 to inhibit the excessive inflammatory response in the intestine

MiRNA-155 is a reliable biomarker for cancers and allergic rhinitis, also plays a critical role in regulating gene expression and mediating the allergic TH2 process. The accurate determination of miRNA-155 will be significant for diagnosing allergic rhinitis, especially for children. Herein, Yb-Bi2S3 nanorods were prepared through a hydrothermal method. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were assembled onto Yb-Bi2S3 nanorods surface to provide a Yb-Bi2S3/AuNPs nanocomposite. Yb-Bi2S3/AuNPs nanocomposite was used as a photoactive element for fabricating a near-infrared photoelectrochemical aptasensing platform by assembling the aptamer for specific recognition of miRNA-155. The photocurrent variation of the photoelectrochemical aptasensor before and after recognizing miRNA-155 is linearly related to the miRNA-155 concentration in the range of 1.0 fmo l L-1 ~ 1.0 nmo l L-1. The detection limit was calculated to be 0.34 fmol L-1. The developed photoelectrochemical aptasensor was successfully employed for determining miRNA-155 in serum samples with satisfactory results, indicating possessing practical applications in the determination of miRNA-155 in real samples.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube-gold nanocomposites (MWCNT/AuNCs) were prepared and used as a novel fluorescence quenching platform for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-155. In the designed system, fluorophore labeled DNA probe was introduced, and the fluorescence signal of them were effectively quenched due to the adsorption of them on MWCNT/AuNCs. Upon the addition of target miRNA-155, DNA-RNA heteroduplexes were formed and desorbed from MWCNT/AuNCs to yield a strong fluorescence signal. In the presence of duplex-specific nuclease (DSN), DNA-RNA heteroduplexes became a substrate for the enzymatic hydrolysis of DNA strands and triggered cyclic signal amplification. Under optimal conditions, MWCNT/AuNCs displayed 93.2% of the quenching efficiency to the fluorophore labeled DNA probe, paving the way for ultrasensitive miRNA-155 detection with a detection limit down to 33.4 fM. Meantime, the present strategy showed excellent selectivity for miRNA-155 detection against other miRNAs including miRNA-21, miRNA-141, and mutated miRNA-155 strands. Moreover, satisfactory results were obtained for miRNA-155 detection in human serum samples, illustrating that the proposed sensing platform is applicable in disease diagnosis.

In this work, a novel label-free and signal-off electrochemical biosensor based on efficient target-trigger T-structure recycling with dual strand displacement amplification (T-DSDA) was constructed for sensitive detection of miRNA-155 that related to cardiovascular diseases. Compared with traditional SDA, the proposed strategy not only accomplished simple polymerization and shearing of dsDNA without continuous consumption of temple DNA , but also ingeniously designed two analogous sequences that produced double cleavage sites, thereby obtaining extensive output DNA for further cleaving Y-structure assembled on electrode with significantly improved target conversion efficiency. Since the redox probe methylene blue (MB) attach to Y-structure via electrostatic interaction and tessellation, an obviously decreased current with a typical signal-off mode could be acquired for sensing miRNA-155 in the assistant of DNAzyme cleavage recycling. As a result, the electrochemical biosensor realized the rapid and sensitive detection of miRNA-155 with a low detection limit down to 166.7 fM. In addition, the biosensor displayed a strong anti-interference ability in bovine whole blood, and thus was expected to be applied to detect blood samples of various miRNA-155 related diseases in clinical diagnosis.

Constructing an ultrasensitive CRISPR/Cas-based biosensing strategy is highly significant for the detection of trace targets. Here we presented a dual-amplified biosensing method based on CRISPR/Cas13a-triggered Cas12a, namely, Cas13a-12a amplification. As proof-of-principle, the developed strategy was used for miRNA-155 detection. The target bound to the Cas13a-crRNA complex and activated the cleavage activity of Cas13a for cleaving uracil ribonucleotides (rU) in the bulge structure of blocker strand (BS), resulting in the release of primer strand (PS) from the BS modified on magnetic beads. Then, the released PS activated the cleavage activity of Cas12a to cleave single-strand DNA reporter probes, producing a significantly increased fluorescent signal. The detection limit of the Cas13a-12a amplification using synthetic miRNA-155 was as low as 0.35 fM, which was much lower than that of the only Cas13a-based assay. The applied performance of this amplification strategy was verified by accurately quantifying miRNA-155 expression levels in different cancer patients. Therefore, the developed strategy offers a supersensitive and highly specific miRNAs sensing platform for clinical application.

In this paper, a novel rare-earth-doped upconverted nanomaterial NaYF4:Yb,Tm fluorescent probe is reported, which can detect cancer-related specific miRNAs in low abundance. The detection is based on an upconversion of nanomaterials NaYF4:Yb,Tm, with emissions at 345, 362, 450, 477, 646, and 802 nm, upon excitation at 980 nm. The optimal Yb3+:Tm3+doping ratio is 40:1, in which the NaYF4:Yb,Tm nanomaterials have the strongest fluorescence. The NaYF4:Yb, Tm nanoparticles were coated with carboxylation or carboxylated protein, in order to improve their water solubility and biocompatibility. The two commonly expressed proteins, miRNA-155 and miRNA-150, were detected by the designed fluorescent probe. The results showed that the probes can distinguish miRNA-155 well from partial and complete base mismatch miRNA-155, and can effectively distinguish miRNA-155 and miRNA-150. The preliminary results indicate that these upconverted nanomaterials have good potential for protein detection in disease diagnosis, including early cancer detection.Keywords:upconversion nanomaterials;novel fluorescent probe;miRNA-155;miRNA-150

A novel strategy was developed for microRNA-155 (miRNA-155) detection based on the fluorescence quenching of positively charged gold nanoparticles [(+)AuNPs] to Ag nanoclusters (AgNCs). In the designed system, DNA-stabilized Ag nanoclusters (DNA/AgNCs) were introduced as fluorescent probes, and DNA–RNA heteroduplexes were formed upon the addition of target miRNA-155. Meanwhile, the (+)AuNPs could be electrostatically adsorbed on the negatively charged single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or DNA–RNA heteroduplexes to quench the fluorescence signal. In the presence of duplex-specific nuclease (DSN), DNA–RNA heteroduplexes became a substrate for the enzymatic hydrolysis of the DNA strand to yield a fluorescence signal due to the diffusion of AgNCs away from (+)AuNPs. Under the optimal conditions, (+)AuNPs displayed very high quenching efficiency to AgNCs, which paved the way for ultrasensitive detection with a low detection limit of 33.4 fM. In particular, the present strategy demonstrated excellent specificity and selectivity toward the detection of target miRNA against control miRNAs, including mutated miRNA-155, miRNA-21, miRNA-141, let-7a, and miRNA-182. Moreover, the practical application value of the system was confirmed by the evaluation of the expression levels of miRNA-155 in clinical serum samples with satisfactory results, suggesting that the proposed sensing platform is promising for applications in disease diagnosis as well as the fundamental research of biochemistry.

DNA nanosheets (DNSs) have been utilized effectively as a fluorescence anisotropy (FA) amplifier for biosensing. But, their sensitivity needs to be further improved. Herein, CRISPR-Cas12a with strong trans-cleavage activity was utilized to enhance the FA amplification ability of DNSs for the sensitive detection of miRNA-155 (miR-155) as a proof-of-principle target. In this method, the hybrid of the recognition probe of miR-155 (T1) and a blocker sequence (T2) was immobilized on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs). In the presence of miR-155, T2 was released by a strand displacement reaction, which activated the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a. The single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probe modified with a carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) fluorophore was cleaved in large quantities and could not bind to the handle chain on DNSs, inducing a low FA value. In contrast, in the absence of miR-155, T2 could not be released and the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a could not be activated. The TAMRA-modified ssDNA probe remained intact and was complementary to the handle chain on the DNSs, and a high FA value was obtained. Thus, miR-155 was detected through the obviously decreased FA value with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 40 pM. Impressively, the sensitivity of this method was greatly improved about 322 times by CRISPR-Cas12a, confirming the amazing signal amplification ability of CRISPR-Cas12a. At the same time, the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein was detected by the strategy successfully, indicating that this method was general. Moreover, this method has been applied in the analysis of miR-155 in human serum and the lysates of cells, which provides a new avenue for the sensitive determination of biomarkers in biochemical research and disease diagnosis.

Sensitive and accurate miRNA detection is important in cancer diagnosis but remains challenging owing to the essential features of miRNAs, such as their small size, high homology, and low abundance. This work proposes a novel electrochemical (EC)-enhanced quantum sensor achieving quantitative detection of miRNA-155 with simultaneous EC sensing. Specifically, fluorescent nanodiamonds/MXene nanocomposites were synthesized and modified with dual-mode signal labels, enabling miRNA-155 concentration measurement via T1 relaxation time of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers and EC signals. Quantum sensing was enhanced via external voltage during the EC process, which modulated the negatively charged state of the NV centers, thereby improving the sensitivity and accuracy of miRNA-155 detection. EC sensing improved the accuracy and reliability of miRNA-155 detection while enhancing quantum sensing. The limit of detection (LOD) of the EC-enhanced quantum biosensor reached 10.0 aM, nearly 106 and 10 times lower than the reported LODs of a quantum sensor using bulk diamond and fluorescent sensors, respectively. The LOD of EC sensing was 2.6 aM, aligning with previous reports. The findings of the study indicated that quantum sensing combined with EC sensing can achieve ultrasensitive miRNA-155 detection with high accuracy and reliability, providing an advanced approach for early cancer diagnosis.
