Abstract
Simultaneous detection of multiple breast cancer-associated miRNAs significantly raises the accuracy and reliability of early diagnosis. In this work, disposable carbon fiber paper serves as the biosensing interface, linking DNA probes via click chemistry to efficiently capture targets and signals efficiently. DNA probes have multiple recognition domains that trigger a cascade reaction through the helper probes and targets, resulting in two signals output. The signals are centrally encapsulated in the pore of the MIL-88(Fe)-NH2. The signal carriers are directed by signal probes to the recognition domains that correspond to the DNA probes. The biosensor is selective and stable, and it can quantify miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 simultaneously with detection limits of 0.64 and 0.54 fmol/L, respectively. Furthermore, it demonstrates satisfactory performance in tests conducted with normal human serum and cell lysate. Overall, this method makes a satisfactory exploration to realize an inexpensive and sensitive biosensor for multiple biomarkers.

Abstract
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is a heterogeneous group of breast cancer that accounts for 10-30% of breast cancer cases. Despite the ongoing development of current treatment methods, LABC remains a severe and complex public health concern around the world, thus prompting the urgent requirement for innovative diagnosis and treatment strategies. The primary treatment challenges are inoperable clinical status and ineffective local control methods. With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) exhibit a potential application prospect in diagnosing and treating breast cancer. Due to the unique inherent characteristics of INPs, different functions can be performed via appropriate modifications and constructions, thus making them suitable for different imaging technology strategies and treatment schemes. INPs can improve the efficacy of conventional local radiotherapy treatment. In the face of inoperable LABC, INPs have proposed new local therapeutic methods and fostered the evolution of novel strategies such as photothermal and photodynamic therapy, magnetothermal therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and multifunctional inorganic nanoplatform. This article reviews the advances of INPs in local accurate imaging and breast cancer treatment and offers insights to overcome the existing clinical difficulties in LABC management.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have received significant attention owing to their unique properties, especially enhanced sensitivity. Recent advancements in biomedical diagnosis have highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as sensitive prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases. Current diagnostics methods, however, need further improvements with regards to their sensitivity, mainly due to the low concentration levels of miRNAs in the body. The low limit of detection of nanomaterial-based biosensors has turned them into powerful tools for detecting and quantifying these biomarkers. Herein, we assemble an overview of recent developments in the application of different nanomaterials and nanostructures as miRNA electrochemical biosensing platforms, along with their pros and cons. The techniques are categorized based on the nanomaterial used.

Abstract
MiRNAs are critical regulators of target gene expression in many biological processes and are considered promising biomarkers for diseases. In this study, we developed a simple, specific, and sensitive miRNA detection method based on proximity ligation reaction, which is easy to operate. The method uses a pair of target-specific DNA probes immobilized on the same gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which hybridize to the target miRNA. Hybridization brings the probes close together, allowing the formation of a continuous DNA sequence that can be amplified by Quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR). This method eliminates the need for complex reverse transcription design and achieves high specificity for discriminating single base mismatches between miRNAs through a simple procedure. This method can sensitively measure three different miRNAs with a detection limit of 20 aM, providing high versatility and sensitivity, even distinguishing single-base variations among members of the miR-200 family with high selectivity. Due to its high selectivity and sensitivity, this method has important implications for the investigation of miRNA biological functions and related biomedical research.

A highly sensitive colorimetric DNA sensor for MicroRNA-155 detection: leveraging the peroxidase-like activity of copper nanoparticles in a double amplification strategy. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 191:32.

Abstract
A novel and highly sensitive colorimetric DNA sensor for determination of miRNA-155 at attomolar levelsis presented that combines the peroxidase-like activity of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) with the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) . The utilization of CuNPs offers advantages such as strong interaction with double-stranded DNA, excellent molecular recognition, and mimic catalytic activity. Herein, a capture probe DNA (P1) was immobilized on carboxylated magnetic beads (MBs), allowing for amplified immobilization due to the 3D surface. Subsequently, the presence of the target microRNA-155 led to the formation of a sandwich structure (P2/microRNA-155/P1/MBs) when P2 was introduced to the modified P1/MBs. The HCR reaction was then triggered by adding H1 and H2 to create a super sandwich (H1/H2)n. Following this, Cu2+ ions were attracted to the negatively charged phosphate groups of the (H1/H2)n and reduced by ascorbic acid, resulting in the formation of CuNPs, which were embedded into the grooves of the (H1/H2)n. The peroxidase-like activity of CuNPs catalyzed the oxidation reaction of 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), resulting in a distinct blue color measured at 630 nm. Under optimal conditions, the colorimetric biosensor exhibited a linear response to microRNA-155 concentrations ranging from 80 to 500 aM, with a detection limit of 22 aM, and discriminate against other microRNAs. It was also successfully applied to the determination of microRNA-155 levels in spiked human serum.

Abstract
Cancer diagnosis and treatment have been of broad interest among scientists in the last decades due to the high death rate, widespread occurrence, and recurrence after treatment. The survival rate of cancer patients depends greatly on early detection and appropriate treatments. Therefore developing new technologies applicable to sensitive and specific methods of cancer detection is an inevitable task for cancer researchers. Abnormal miRNA expression is contributed to severe diseases such as cancers and since their expression level and type differ strictly during carcinogenesis and later metastasis and treatments, the improved detection accuracy of these miRNAs would undoubtedly lead to early diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy. Biosensors are accurate and straightforward analytical devices that have had practical applications especially in the last decade. Their domain is still growing through a combination of attractive nanomaterials and amplification methods, leading to innovative biosensing platforms for the efficient detection of miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. In this review, we will provide the recent developments in biosensors to detect intestine cancer miRNA biomarkers and also discuss the challenges and outcomings of this field.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide; therefore, there is an increased need for the discovery, development, optimization, and quantification of diagnostic biomarkers that can improve the disease diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic outcome. Circulating cell-free nucleic acids biomarkers such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) allow the characterization of the genetic features and screening breast cancer patients. Electrochemical biosensors offer excellent platforms for the detection of breast cancer biomarkers due to their high sensitivity and selectivity, low cost, use of small analyte volumes, and easy miniaturization. In this context, this article provides an exhaustive review concerning the electrochemical methods of characterization and quantification of different miRNAs and BRCA1 breast cancer biomarkers using electrochemical DNA biosensors based on the detection of hybridization events between a DNA or peptide nucleic acid probe and the target nucleic acid sequence. The fabrication approaches, the biosensors architectures, the signal amplification strategies, the detection techniques, and the key performance parameters, such as the linearity range and the limit of detection, were discussed.

Abstract
DNA nanomachines have shown potential application in the construction of various biosensors. Here, an electrochemiluminescence biosensor for the sensitive detection of miRNA-21 were reported based on three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanomachine and duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-mediated target recycle amplification strategy. First, the bipedal DNA walkers were obtained by DSN-mediated digestion reaction initiated by target miRNA-21.3D DNA tracks were prepared by modifying Fe3O4 magnetic beads (MBs) with ferrocene-labeled DNA (Fc-DNA). The produced DNA walkers autonomously moved along 3D DNA tracks powered by nicking endonuclease. During the movement, ferrocene-labeled DNA was cleaved, resulting in large amounts of Fc-labeled DNA fragments away from the MBs surface. Finally, the liberated Fc-labeled DNA fragments were dropped on the C-g-C3N4 modified electrode surface, leading to the quenching of C-g-C3N4 electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Benefiting from the dual amplification strategy of 3D DNA nanomachine and DSN-mediated target recycling, the developed ECL biosensor exhibited an excellent performance for miRNA-21 detection with a wide linear range of 10 fM to 10 nM and a low detection limit of 1.0 fM. This work offers a new thought for the application of DNA walkers in the construction of various biosensors.

Abstract
Point mutations are common in the human DNA genome and are closely related to higher susceptibility to cancer diseases. Therefore, suitable methods for their sensing are of general interest. In this work, we report on a magnetic electrochemical bioassay using DNA probes tethered to streptavidin magnetic beads (strep-MBs) to detect T > G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the inteleukin-6 (IL6) gene in human genomic DNA. In the presence of the target DNA fragment and tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), the electrochemical signal related to the oxidation of TMB is observed, which is much higher than the one obtained in the absence of the target. The key parameters affecting the analytical signal, such as the concentration of the biotinylated probe, its incubation time with strep-MBs, DNA hybridization time, and TMB loading, were optimized using the electrochemical signal intensity and signal-to-blank (S/B) ratio as selection criteria. Using spiked buffer solutions, the bioassay can detect the mutated allele in a wide range of concentrations (over six decades) with a low detection limit (7.3 fM). Furthermore, the bioassay displays a high specificity with high concentrations of the major allele (one mismatched), and two mismatched and non-complementary DNA. More importantly, the bioassay can detect the variation in scarcely diluted human DNA, collected from 23 donors, and can reliably distinguish between heterozygous (TG genotype) and homozygous (GG genotype) in respect to the control subjects (TT genotype), where the differences are statistically highly significant (p-value < 0.001). Thus, the bioassay is useful for cohort studies targeting one or more mutations in human DNA.

Abstract
In the field of cancer detection, technologies to analyze tumors using biomarkers circulating in fluids such as blood have developed rapidly based on liquid biopsy. A proactive approach to early cancer detection can lead to more effective treatments with minimal side effects and better long-term patient survival. However, early detection of cancer is hindered by the existing limitations of conventional cancer diagnostic methods. To enable early diagnosis and regular monitoring and improve automation, the development of integrated point-of-care (POC) and biosensors is needed. This is expected to fundamentally change the diagnosis, management, and monitoring of response to treatment of cancer. POC-based techniques will provide a way to avoid complications that occur after invasive tissue biopsy, such as bleeding, infection, and pain. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive view of biosensors and their clinical relevance in oncology for the detection of biomarkers with liquid biopsies of proteins, miRNA, ctDNA, exosomes, and cancer cells. The preceding discussion also illustrates the changing landscape of liquid biopsy-based cancer diagnosis through nanomaterials, machine learning, artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and sensors, many of which apply POC design principles. With the advent of sensitive, selective, and timely detection of cancer, we see the field of POC technology for cancer detection and treatment undergoing a positive paradigm shift in the foreseeable future.

Sensitive electrochemical detection of polymorphisms in IL6 and TGFβ1 genes from ovarian cancer DNA patients using EcoRI and DNA hairpin-modified gold electrodes. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 190:15. [PMID: 36479645 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05595-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Two electrochemical bioplatforms were prepared based on thiolated hairpin DNA probes tethered to AuNP-modified screen-printed electrodes to detect T > G and T > C polymorphisms, namely rs1880269 and rs1800469, present the interleukin-6 (IL6) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) genes. The electrochemical readout was ensured by the detection of the double-stranded DNA using methylene blue as a redox probe after treatment by EcoRI restrictase. The main parameters influencing the analytical response such as the thiolated DNA probe concentration, incubation time with electrode, DNA hybridization time, EcoRI enzyme load, and its cleavage time were optimized based on the current intensity and signal-to-blank (S/B) ratio as selection criteria. Using spiked buffer solutions, the IL6 and TGFβ1 E-bioplatforms display wide ranges of linearity (1 × 102-1 × 108 fM and 5 × 101-1 × 105 fM, respectively) and limits of detection (47.9 fM and 16.6 fM, respectively). The two bioelectrodes have also good discrimination toward 1-mismatched, two mismatched, and non-complementary sequences, when they were used 30-fold higher than the target sequences. More importantly, the two bioplatforms successfully detected the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in scarcely diluted genomic DNA, collected from 52 donors, and showed they can reliably distinguish between heterozygous (TG and TC genotypes) and homozygous (GG and CC genotypes) patients with respect to the control subjects (TT genotype), where the differences are statistically highly significant (p-value < 0.0001). Thus, the designed devices could be used to conduct large cohort studies targeting these mutations or extended to other SNPs.

Abstract
Biosensors are powerful analytical tools used to identify and detect target molecules. Electrochemical biosensors, which combine biosensing with electrochemical analysis techniques, are efficient analytical instruments that translate concentration signals into electrical signals, enabling the quantitative and qualitative analysis of target molecules. Electrochemical biosensors have been widely used in various fields of detection and analysis due to their high sensitivity, superior selectivity, quick reaction time, and inexpensive cost. However, the signal changes caused by interactions between a biological probe and a target molecule are very weak and difficult to capture directly by using detection instruments. Therefore, various signal amplification strategies have been proposed and developed to increase the accuracy and sensitivity of detection systems. This review serves as a reference for biosensor and detector research, as it introduces the research progress of electrochemical signal amplification strategies in olfactory and taste evaluation. It also discusses the latest signal amplification strategies currently being employed in electrochemical biosensors for nanomaterial development, enzyme labeling, and nucleic acid amplification techniques, and highlights the most recent work in using cell tissues as biosensitive elements.

Abstract
Bacterial diseases cause tremendous economic losses due to high morbidity and mortality in livestock animals. F17A protein, the major subunit of F17 fimbriae, is one of the most prevalent and crucial virulence factors among the pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from diarrheic and septicemic animals of various species. Purification and detection of this protein is regarded as an interesting field of investigation due to its important role as a therapeutic target, such as vaccines, and as a diagnostic tool. In this context, polyclonal rabbit antibodies recognizing F17A protein (anti−F17A antibody) were developed and used for its detection. In fact, sandwich biosensor using anti−F17A/gold nanoparticles conjugates as capture probe and anti−F17A antibody labelled with horseradish peroxidase as signal amplification probe was developed for electrochemical and fluorescent detection of purified F17A protein and live F17–positive E. coli bacteria. Good specificity and sensitivity for detection of F17–positive E. coli strains were obtained. The dynamic range for the biosensor varies from 1 × 102 to 1 × 109 CFU·mL−1 (R2 = 0.998) and the detection limit (LOD) and the IC50 value were estimated to be 37 CFU·mL−1 and 75 CFU·mL−1, respectively.

Target amplification-free detection of urinary microRNA for diabetic nephropathy diagnosis with electrocatalytic reaction. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:5695-5707.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious diabetic complication, usually developed from type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and known as type II DN (T2DN). New emerging biomarkers for T2DN are microRNAs (miRNAs) which have been studied for the noninvasive early-stage detection of the disease. In this work, a nucleic acid amplification-free miRNA-124 sensor based on target-induced strand displacement on magnetic beads, and by using methylene blue-loaded silica particles as a label was developed. Measurement methods can be either visual observation, spectrophotometry, or electrochemistry. After incubation and separation of the magnetic particles, a blue-violet solution (564 nm) appeared, depending on the concentration of miRNA displaced. For electrochemical detection, methylene blue on the silica served as a redox mediator for the coupled reaction with ferricyanide in the solution phase. At the electrode surface, ferricyanide was re-reduced to ferrocyanide, and was thus available for further reaction with methylene blue, forming an amplification cycle. After optimization, the total assay time was 60 min, and limits of detection were 1 pM, 6 fM, and 0.65 fM, by the naked eye, spectrophotometry and electrochemistry, respectively. The miRNAs in 42 suspected urine samples from patients suffering from either diabetic nephropathy, diabetes mellitus, or chronic kidney disease were validated by comparing with the droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR).

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignancy associated with high mortality and increasing incidence. Early detection of this disease could help increase survival and overall patient benefit. Non-invasive strategies for the diagnosis of this medical condition are of utmost importance. In this scope, the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma biomarkers could provide a useful diagnostic tool. Aptamers represent as short, single-stranded DNAs or RNAs that can specifically bind selected analytes, and also as pseudo-biorecognition elements that can be employed for electrode functionalization. Also, other types of DNA sequences can be used for the construction of DNA-based biosensors applied for the quantification of hepatocellular carcinoma biomarkers. Herein, we will be analyzing recent examples of aptasensors and DNA biosensors for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma biomarkers like micro-RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, exosomes, circulating tumor cells and proteins. The literature data is discussed comparatively in a critical manner highlighting the advantages of using electrochemical biosensors in diagnosis, as well as the use of nanomaterials and biocomponents in the functionalization of electrodes for improved sensitivity and selectivity.

Abstract
Herein, we report rapid electrochemical detection of miRNA let-7a based on a DNA probe consisting of a polyA and Fc-co-labeled harpin structure (the polyA-H probe). The polyA-H probe could be facilely immobilized on Au surfaces through the interactions between polyA and Au, followed by its pre-hybridization with a single strand (S1). The probe's surface density could be optimized for minimizing steric hindrance via changing the polyA block length. The target let-7a could be rapidly amplified via loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with four simplified primers, followed by inducing the formation of dimeric i-motif (DIM) structure via H+-induced rapid folding of two C-rich sequences of motif strand 1 and strand 2. It was found that, after introducing the as-formed DIM to hybridize the S1, the immobilized polyA20-H probe could rapidly revert to its hairpin structure, sending out a turn-on electrochemical signal of the Fc. The total time for detecting the let-7a was around 80 min, obviously less than that of most of electrochemical DNA sensors reported previously. The biosensor showed a linear relationship of the current response to the let-7a in the range of 10 fM to 50 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.1 fM. Our biosensors were further tested using human serum spiked with the let-7a and the extracts of the breast adenocarcinoma cells spiked with and without the let-7a, respectively. Satisfied results were obtained. This study shows a potential promising future of development of electrochemical biosensors for rapid detection of miRNAs in the application of clinical practice.

Abstract
The emergence of highly pathogenic and deadly human coronaviruses, namely SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV within the past two decades and currently SARS-CoV-2, have resulted in millions of human death across the world. In addition, other human viral diseases, such as mosquito borne-viral diseases and blood-borne viruses, also contribute to a higher risk of death in severe cases. To date, there is no specific drug or medicine available to cure these human viral diseases. Therefore, the early and rapid detection without compromising the test accuracy is required in order to provide a suitable treatment for the containment of the diseases. Recently, nanomaterials-based biosensors have attracted enormous interest due to their biological activities and unique sensing properties, which enable the detection of analytes such as nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), aptamers, and proteins in clinical samples. In addition, the advances of nanotechnologies also enable the development of miniaturized detection systems for point-of-care (POC) biosensors, which could be a new strategy for detecting human viral diseases. The detection of virus-specific genes by using single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes has become a particular interest due to their higher sensitivity and specificity compared to immunological methods based on antibody or antigen for early diagnosis of viral infection. Hence, this review has been developed to provide an overview of the current development of nanoparticles-based biosensors that target pathogenic RNA viruses, toward a robust and effective detection strategy of the existing or newly emerging human viral diseases such as SARS-CoV-2. This review emphasizes the nanoparticles-based biosensors developed using noble metals such as gold (Au) and silver (Ag) by virtue of their powerful characteristics as a signal amplifier or enhancer in the detection of nucleic acid. In addition, this review provides a broad knowledge with respect to several analytical methods involved in the development of nanoparticles-based biosensors for the detection of viral nucleic acid using both optical and electrochemical techniques.

Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, CRISPR, has recently emerged as a powerful molecular biosensing tool for nucleic acids and other biomarkers due to its unique properties such as collateral cleavage nature, room temperature reaction conditions, and high target-recognition specificity. Numerous platforms have been developed to leverage the CRISPR assay for ultrasensitive biosensing applications. However, to be considered as a new gold standard, several key challenges for CRISPR molecular biosensing must be addressed. In this paper, we briefly review the history of biosensors, followed by the current status of nucleic acid-based detection methods. We then discuss the current challenges pertaining to CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection, followed by the recent breakthroughs addressing these challenges. We focus upon future advancements required to enable rapid, simple, sensitive, specific, multiplexed, amplification-free, and shelf-stable CRISPR-based molecular biosensors.

Abstract
DNA is known to be ubiquitous in nature as it is the controlling unit for genetic information storage in most living organisms. Lately, there has been a surge in studies relating to the use of DNA as a biomaterial for various biomedical applications such as biosensing, therapeutics, and drug delivery. The role of DNA as a bioreceptor in biosensors has been known for a long time. DNA-based biosensors are gradually evolving into highly sophisticated and sensitive molecular devices. The current realization of DNA-based biosensors embraces the unique structural and functional properties of DNA in the form of a biopolymer. The interesting properties of DNA, such as self-assembly, programmability, catalytic activity, dynamic behavior, and precise molecular recognition, have led to the emergence of innovative DNA assembly based electrochemical biosensors. This review article aims to cover the recent progress in the field of DNA-based electrochemical (EC) biosensors. It commences with an introduction to electrochemical biosensors and elucidates the advantages of integrating DNA-based materials into them. Besides this, we discuss the principles of EC biosensors based on different types of DNA-based materials. The article concludes by highlighting the outlook and importance of this interesting field for biomedical developments.

Abstract
In this work, we present a luminescence platform that can be used as point of care system for determining the presence and concentration of specific oligonucleotide sequences. This sensor exhibited a limit of detection as low as 50 fM by means of: (i) the use of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) functionalized magnetic microparticles that captured and concentrated ssDNA-upconverting nanoparticles (ssDNA-UCNPs) on a solid support, when the target sequence (miR-21-5p DNA-analogue) was in the sample, and (ii) a photoligation reaction that covalently linked the ssDNA-UCNPs and the ssDNA magnetic microparticles, allowing stringent washes. The presented sensor showed a similar limit of detection when the assays were conducted in samples containing total miRNA extracted from human serum, demonstrating its suitability for detecting small specific oligonucleotide sequences under real-like conditions. The strategy of combining UCNPs, magnetic microparticles, and a photoligation reaction provides new insight into low-cost, rapid, and ultra-sensitive detection of oligonucleotide sequences.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor was prepared for nucleic acid-based hantavirus detection using a Cu-based metal-organic framework (CuMOF) as a signal tag. The CuMOF was synthesized by the solvothermal method and then covalently bonded with signal DNA (sDNA) probes. The Au nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide composite were deposited on the electrode surface by electroreduction as support substrate and was then functionalized with capture DNA (cDNA) probes by self-assembly. Through the complementary base pairing, the target DNA (tDNA) fragment of hantavirus hybridized with the cDNA and the sDNA in a sandwich-type format. The tDNA was detected according to the current signal of the CuMOF catalyzed reaction using o-phenylenediamine as redox substrate. The peak current of the biosensor at - 0.55 V increased linearly in proportion to the logarithmic value of the tDNA concentration from 10-15 to 10-9 mol/L, with a detection limit of 0.74 × 10-15 mol/L. Moreover, the proposed biosensor was successfully applied to detect hantavirus and was able to distinguish hantavirus from other arboviruses.

Abstract
Cancer is the second most fatal disease in the world and an early diagnosis is important for a successful treatment. Thus, it is necessary to develop fast, sensitive, simple, and inexpensive analytical tools for cancer biomarker detection. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an RNA cancer biomarker where the expression level in body fluid is strongly correlated to cancer. Various biosensors involving the detection of miRNA for cancer diagnosis were developed. The present review offers a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in electrochemical biosensor for miRNA cancer marker detection from 2015 to 2020. The review focuses on the approaches to direct miRNA detection based on the electrochemical signal. It includes a RedOx-labeled probe with different designs, RedOx DNA-intercalating agents, various kinds of RedOx catalysts used to produce a signal response, and finally a free RedOx indicator. Furthermore, the advantages and drawbacks of these approaches are highlighted.

Abstract
In this work, we proposed an electrochemical aptasensor for patulin (PAT) based on tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) and thionine (Thi)-labeled Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs)/rGO signal amplification strategy. The rigid structure of TDNs could effectively improve the binding efficiency. Fe3O4NPs/rGO with excellent electrical conductivity and large specific surface area was used as a label material, which could load more Thi and accelerate electron transfer. Besides, the unique catalytic properties of Fe3O4NPs could achieve active signal amplification. Once PAT existed, PAT aptamer was released from the capture probe, thereby introducing Fe3O4NPs/rGO with Thi onto the electrode surface. Therefore, a noticeable increase in Thi current intensity was observed. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed aptasensor showed superior performance with a linear range from 5 × 10-8 to 5 × 10-1 μg mL-1 and a detection limit of 30.4 fg mL-1. The obtained sensor showed reliable specificity, stability and reproducibility, and was successfully applied to the determination of real samples.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding regulatory RNAs that play an important role in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. Since their dysregulation has been associated with Alzheimer disease, cardiovascular diseases and different types of cancer, among others, miRNAs can be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of these diseases. The methods commonly used to quantify miRNAs are, in general, complex, costly, with limited application for point-of-care devices or resource-limited facilities. Electrochemical biosensors, mainly those based on nanomaterials, have emerged as a promising alternative to the conventional miRNA detection methods and have paved the way to the development of sensitive, fast, and low-cost detection systems. This review is focused on the most relevant contributions performed in the field of electrochemical miRNAs biosensors between 2017 and the beginning of 2020. The main contribution of this article is the critical discussion of the different amplification strategies and the comparative analysis between amplified and non-amplified miRNA electrochemical biosensing and between the different amplification schemes. Particular emphasis was given to the importance of the nanostructures, enzymes, labelling molecules, and special sequences of nucleic acids or analogues on the organization of the different bioanalytical platforms, the transduction of the hybridization event and the generation the analytical signal.

Early detection and effective treatment are crucial to reduce the physical, emotional, and financial pressure exerted by growing cancer burden on individuals, families, communities, and health systems. Currently, it is clear that the accurate analysis of emerging cancer epigenetic and metastatic-related biomarkers at different molecular levels is envisaged as an exceptional solution for early and reliable diagnosis and the improvement of therapy efficiency through personalized treatments. Within this field, electrochemical biosensing has demonstrated to be competitive over other emerging and currently used methodologies for the determination of these biomarkers accomplishing the premises of user-friendly, multiplexing ability, simplicity, reduced costs and decentralized analysis, demanded by clinical oncology, thus priming electrochemical biosensors to spark a diagnostic revolution for cancer prediction and eradication. This review article critically discusses the main characteristics, opportunities and versatility exhibited by electrochemical biosensing, through highlighting representative examples published during the last two years, for the reliable determination of these emerging biomarkers, with great diagnostic, predictive and prognostic potential. Special attention is paid on electrochemical affinity biosensors developed for the single or multiplexed determination of methylation events, non-coding RNAs, ctDNA features and metastasis-related protein biomarkers both in liquid and solid biopsies of cancer patients. The main challenges to which further work must be addressed and the impact of these advances should have in the clinical acceptance of these emerging biomarkers are also discussed which decisively will contribute to understand the molecular basis involved in the epigenetics and metastasis of cancer and to apply more efficient personalized therapies.
