Abstract
A Ti3C2TxMXene-based biosensor has been developed and the photocatalytic atom transfer radical polymerization (photo ATRP) amplification strategy applied to detect target miRNA-21 (tRNA). Initially, Ti3C2TxMXene nanosheets were synthesized from the Ti3AlC2 MAX precursor via selective aluminum etching. Then, functionalization of Ti3C2TxMXene nanosheets with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) via silylation reactions to facilitate covalent bonding with hairpin DNA biomolecules specifically designed for tRNA detection. Upon binding with the tRNA, the hairpin DNA liberated the azide (N₃) group, initiating a click reaction to affix to the photo ATRP initiator. Through the ATRP photoreaction, facilitated by an organic photoredox catalyst and light, a significant amount of ferrocenyl methyl methacrylate (FMMA) monomer was immobilized on the electrode. Therefore, the electrochemical signal is amplified. The electrochemical efficacy of the biosensor was assessed using square wave voltammetry (SWV). Under optimized conditions, the biosensor demonstrated remarkable sensitivity in detecting tRNA, with a linear detection range from 0.01 fM to 10 pM and a detection limit of 2.81 aM. The findings elucidate that the developed biosensor, in conjunction with the photo ATRP strategy, offers reproducibility, stability, and increased sensitivity, underscoring its potential applications within the experimental medical sector of the biomolecular industry.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e33588. [PMID: 39040278 PMCID: PMC11260977 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs of 18-25 bases. miRNAs are also important new biomarkers that can be used for disease diagnosis in the future. Studies have shown that miR-124 levels are significantly elevated during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and play a key role in the cardiovascular system. A variety of methods have been established to detect myocardial infarction-related miRNAs. However, most require complex miRNA extraction and isolation, and these methods are virtually undetectable when RNA levels are low in the sample. It may lead to biased results. Thus, it is necessary to develop a technique that can detect miRNA without extracting it, which means that intracellular detection is of great significance. Here, we improved the traditional silicon spheres and obtained a biosensor that could effectively capture and detect specific noncoding nucleic acids through the layer-by-layer assembly method. The sensor is protected by hyaluronic acid so it can successfully escape the lysosome into the cell and achieve detection. With the help of a full-featured microplate reader, we determined that the detection limit of the biosensor could reach 1 fM, meeting the needs of intracellular detection. At the same time, we prepared an oxidative stress cardiomyocyte infarction model and successfully captured the overexpressed miR-124 in the infarcted cells to achieve in situ detection. This study could provide a new potential tool to develop miRNAs for sensitive diagnosis in AMI, and the proposed strategy implies its potential for biomedical research.

Abstract
Multiple intracellular microRNA (miRNA) detection is essential for disease diagnosis and management. Nonetheless, the real-time detection of multiple intracellular miRNAs has remained challenging. Herein, we have developed an ultrasound (US)-powered nanomotor-based dynamic fluorescent probe for the real-time OFF-ON fluorescent determination of multiple intracellular miRNAs. The new probe relies on the utilization of multicolored quantum dot (QD)-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)/graphene oxide (GO)-coated US-powered gold nanowire (AuNW) nanomotors. The fluorescence of QDs is quenched due to π-π interactions with the GO. Upon binding to target miRNAs, the QDs-ssDNA is now distant from the AuNWs, resulting in effective OFF-ON QD fluorescence switching. Compared with conventional passive probes, the dynamic fluorescent probe enhances probe-target interactions by using the US-propelled nanomotor, resulting in exceptionally efficient and prompt hybridization. Simultaneous quantitative analysis of miR-10b and miR-21 in vitro can be achieved within 15 min with high sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, multicolor QDs provide strong signal intensity and multiplexed detection, enabling one-step real-time discrimination between cancer cells (A549) and normal cells (L02). The obtained results are in good agreement with those from qRT-PCR. This dynamic fluorescent probe based on a nanomotor and QDs enables rapid "on the move" specific detection of multiple intracellular miRNAs in intact cells, facilitating real-time monitoring of diverse intracellular miRNA expression, and it could pave the way for novel applications of nanomotors in biodetection.

Abstract
The analysis of nucleic acids is one of the fundamental parts of modern molecular biology and molecular diagnostics. The information collected predominantly depends on the condition of the genetic material. All potential damage induced by oxidative stress may affect the final results of the analysis of genetic material obtained using commonly used techniques such as polymerase chain reaction or sequencing. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of high temperature and pH on DNA structure in the context of the occurrence of oxidative damage, using square-wave voltammetry and two independent research protocols. We resulted in visible oxidation damage registered in acidic conditions after the thermal denaturation process (pH 4.7) with changes in the intensity of guanine and adenine signals. However, using phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) for DNA denaturation negatively affected the DNA structure, but without any oxidized derivatives present. This leads to the conclusion that oxidation occurring in the DNA melting process results in the formation of various derivatives of nucleobases, both electrochemically active and inactive. These derivatives may distort the results of molecular tests due to the possibility of forming complementary bonds with various nucleobases. For example, 8-oxoguanine can form pairs with both cytosine and adenine.

Abstract
Investigating therapeutic miRNAs is a rewarding endeavour for pharmaceutical companies. Since its discovery in 1993, our understanding of miRNA biology has advanced significantly. Numerous studies have emphasised the disruption of miRNA expression in various diseases, making them appealing candidates for innovative therapeutic approaches. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant malignancy that poses a severe threat to human health, accounting for approximately 70%-85% of all malignant tumours. Currently, the efficacy of several HCC therapies is limited. Alterations in various biomacromolecules during HCC progression and their underlying mechanisms provide a basis for the investigation of novel and effective therapeutic approaches. MicroRNAs, also known as miRNAs, have been identified in the last 20 years and significantly impact gene expression and protein translation. This atypical expression pattern is strongly associated with the onset and progression of various malignancies. Gene therapy, a novel form of biological therapy, is a prominent research area. Therefore, miRNAs have been used in the investigation of tumour gene therapy. This review examines the mechanisms of action of miRNAs, explores the correlation between miRNAs and HCC, and investigates the use of miRNAs in HCC gene therapy.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play several crucial roles in the physiological and pathological processes of the human body. They are considered as important biomarkers for the diagnosis of various disorders. Thus, rapid, sensitive, selective, and affordable detection of miRNAs is of great importance. However, the small size, low abundance, and highly similar sequences of miRNAs impose major challenges to their accurate detection in biological samples. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been applied as promising sensing materials for the fabrication of different biosensors due to their distinctive characteristics, such as high porosity and surface area, tunable pores, outstanding adsorption affinities, and ease of functionalization. In this review, the applications of MOFs and MOF-derived materials in the fabrication of fluorescence, electrochemical, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescent, and photoelectrochemical biosensors for the detection of miRNAs and their detection principle and analytical performance are discussed. This paper attempts to provide readers with a comprehensive knowledge of the fabrication and sensing mechanisms of miRNA detection platforms.

Abstract
A decomposition Mueller matrix method is proposed for detection of miRNA and enhanced by using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR). In the proposed approach, a Mueller matrix decomposition method is employed to extract the linear birefringence (LB) and circular dichroism (CD) properties of the miRNA sample. The accuracy of the LB and CD measurements is enhanced through the use of a high-resolution antimonene-based SPR prism coupler with DNA-linked gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by measuring the LB orientation angle (α) and CD property (R) of two miRNA aqueous solutions (hsa-miR-125-5p and hsa-miR-21-5p) over the concentration range of 0∼1000 fM in both cases. The results show that, for both samples, α and R vary linearly with the change in the miRNA concentration. Furthermore, the values of α and R obtained for the two samples are quantifiably different, and hence the selectivity of the proposed SPR sensor is confirmed. Overall, the results highlight the potential of the proposed sensor as a valuable tool for miRNA detection with prospective applications in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a major malignant cancer with low survival rates, and early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Herein, a biosensing platform that is self-powered derived from a capacitor-coupled EBFC has been developed for ultra-sensitive real-time identification of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) with the assistance of a mobile phone. The flexible substrate of the platform is prepared on a carbon paper modified with graphdiyne and gold nanoparticles. The biosensor employs DNAzyme-mediated dual strand displacement amplification, which enhances the signal output intensity of the EBFC and improves selectivity. The coupling of the capacitor with the EBFC significantly amplifies the sensing signal, causing a 10.6-fold surge in current respond and further improving the sensitivity of the sensing platform. The established detection approach demonstrates a linear relationship varied from 0.0001 to 10,000 pM, with a sensitivity down to 32.3 aM as the minimum detectable limit, which has been effectively utilized for detecting miRNA-21 in practical samples. This sensing system provides strong support for the construction of portable detection devices, and the strategy of the platform construction provides an effective method for ultra-sensitive and accurate detection of miRNA, holding great potential in clinical diagnosis, prognosis evaluation, and drug screening for cancer.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) detection was constructed based on PtCu nanodendrites functionalized Au/polyaniline nanospheres (Au/PANI@PtCu). The prepared Au/PANI@PtCu nanocomposites not only possessed excellent electro-catalytic activity of H2O2 reduction due to the synergistic effect between the Au/PANI and PtCu NDs but also provided large specific surface area for detection of antibodies (Ab2) immobilization. In addition, Au nanoparticles encapsulated multi-wall carbon nanotubes (AuNPs@MWCNTs) were also applied to modify the glassy carbon electrode interface for loading numerous capture antibodies (Ab1). In the presence of target ProGRP, a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor showed a strong current response from the electro-catalysis of Au/PANI@PtCu toward H2O2 reduction. Benefiting from the exceptional electro-catalytic performance of Au/PANI@PtCu and the high conductivity of AuNPs@MWCNTs, the sandwich-type immunoassay exhibited remarkable sensitivity in detection. The linear range extended from 100 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL, while achieving an impressively low limit of detection of 77.62 fg/mL.

Abstract
Simultaneous quantifications of multiple miRNAs in the single-sampling system would be conducive to the accurate diagnosis of diseases in contrast with single miRNA analysis. In this work, a stochastic DNAzyme motor on spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) for simultaneous fluorescence assay of double miRNAs was established. Hairpin 1 (H1)-FAM-7a and H1-TAMRA-133a-functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) as SNAs were mixed. Targets (let-7a and miRNA-133a) reacted with two different S1 and S2, triggering the formation of two types of metal DNAzymes. The DNAzymes can further react with H1 stem-loop DNA on SNAs to release the two fluorescent DNA-FAM and DNA-TAMRA fragments in the presence of Mg2+. Meanwhile, the DNAzyme as DNA motors were separated from the previous H1 probe to participate the next cycling operations, resulting in the signal amplification toward the simultaneous and sensitive detection of let-7a and miRNA-133a. SNAs with three dimensional nanostructures provided enough space for the operation of DNAzyme walker, promoting the sensitivity of this proposed analytical system. The two mixed SNAs enable one-step and specific quantification of miRNA let-7a and miRNA-133a with lower detection limits of 90.5 fM and 74.9 fM, respectively. Finally, this proposed strategy was employed to simultaneously detect double miRNAs in practical applicability.

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
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small molecules with important regulatory functions, have been widely used in the field of biosensing as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of various diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an miRNA detection platform with high sensitivity and specificity. Here, we have designed a CRISPR/Cas13-based enzymatic cyclic amplification system and regarded the magnetic upconversion nanoparticles (MUCNPs) as a biosensor of outputting the detection signal for the highly sensitive and high-fidelity detection of miRNAs. MUCNPs were composed of UCNPs (fluorescence donors) and Fe3O4@AuNPs (fluorescence acceptors) through double-stranded DNA hybrid coupling. The target miRNA acted as an activator, which could activate the trans-cleavage activity of Cas13a to the well-designed Trigger containing two uracil ribonucleotides (rU) in its loop and trigger a strand displacement reaction to generate a large amount of single-stranded DNA, resulting in the release of the UCNPs from MUCNPs. Benefiting from the high fidelity and high selectivity of CRISPR/Cas13a, the great effect of triggered enzymatic cycle amplification, and the high-intensity luminescent signal of MUCNPs, this method possessed miRNA detection capability with high sensitivity and specificity even in the complex environment with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and a serum sample. Meanwhile, the detection limit could be as low as 83.2 fM. In addition, this method effectively reduced the effect of photobleaching and maintained high stability, which was expected to achieve efficient and sensitive miRNA detection.

Abstract
Herein, a dual-mode detection system was constructed for efficient and accurate detection of bisphenol A (BPA) with the assistance of the BPA-induced hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The captured DNA (cDNA) was first modified on the surface of magnetic spheres modified with gold nanoparticles and polydopamine and then hybridized with the BPA aptamer to form double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). In the presence of the BPA target, the BPA aptamer was released from the surface of the magnetic sphere. The free cDNA triggered a HCR to construct a DNA duplex. Methylene blue (MB), as a bifunctional probe, was intercalated into the double-stranded DNA to amplify the photocurrent (IPEC) of the CdS-modified electrode and generate an electrochemical current (IEC) at the same time. Under the optimized conditions, the PEC and EC signal responses of the system were linear to the logarithm of BPA concentration in the range of 1.0 × 10-10 M to 1.0 × 10-5 M. The detection limits were found to be 1.27 × 10-11 M and 3.0 × 10-11 M using the PEC and EC methods, respectively. The constructed dual-mode biosensor exhibited good performance for real sample analysis, demonstrating its promising potential for practical applications. In addition, this dual-mode detection strategy provides more accurate and reliable detection results.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing is a method of RNA interference in which a miRNA binds to messenger RNA sequences and regulates target gene expression. MiRNA-based therapeutics have shown promise in treating a variety of central nervous system diseases, as verified by results from diverse preclinical model organisms. Over the last decade, several miRNA-based therapeutics have entered clinical trials for various kinds of diseases, such as tumors, infections, and inherited diseases. However, such clinical trials for central nervous system diseases are scarce, and many central nervous system diseases, including hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, intractable epilepsy, and Alzheimer's disease, lack effective treatment. Considering its effectiveness for central nervous system diseases in preclinical experiments, microRNA-based intervention may serve as a promising treatment for these kinds of diseases. This paper reviews basic principles and recent progress of miRNA-based therapeutics and summarizes general procedures to develop such therapeutics for treating central nervous system diseases. Then, the current obstacles in drug development are discussed. This review also provides a new perspective on possible solutions to these obstacles in the future.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a clinically challenging modality for the treatment of many hematologic diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after allo-HSCT and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, limiting the success of a potentially curative transplant. Several microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been shown to impact the biology of GVHD. They are molecular regulators involved in numerous processes during T-cell development, homeostasis, and activation, and contribute to the pathological function of T-cells during GvHD. Here, we review the key role of miRNAs contributing to the GvHD; their detection might be an interesting possibility in the early diagnosis and monitoring of disease.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 has been responsible for the recent pandemic all over the world, which has caused many complications. One of the hallmarks of SARS-CoV-2 infection is an induced immune dysregulation, in some cases resulting in cytokine storm syndrome, acute respiratory distress syndrome and many organs such as lungs, brain, and heart that are affected during the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Several physiological parameters are altered as a result of infection and cytokine storm. Among them, microRNAs (miRNAs) might reflect this poor condition since they play a significant role in immune cellular performance including inflammatory responses. Both host and viral-encoded miRNAs are crucial for the successful infection of SARS-CoV-2. For instance, dysregulation of miRNAs that modulate multiple genes expressed in COVID-19 patients with comorbidities (e.g., type 2 diabetes, and cerebrovascular disorders) could affect the severity of the disease. Therefore, altered expression levels of circulating miRNAs might be helpful to diagnose this illness and forecast whether a COVID-19 patient could develop a severe state of the disease. Moreover, a number of miRNAs could inhibit the expression of proteins, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, spike, and Nsp12, involved in the life cycle of SARS-CoV-2. Accordingly, miRNAs represent potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for this devastating viral disease. In the current study, we investigated modifications in miRNA expression and their influence on COVID-19 disease recovery, which may be employed as a therapy strategy to minimize COVID-19-related disorders.

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
As a typical biomarker, the expression of microRNA is closely related to the occurrence of cancer. However, in recent years, the detection methods have had some limitations in the research and application of microRNAs. In this paper, an autocatalytic platform was constructed through the combination of a nonlinear hybridization chain reaction and DNAzyme to achieve efficient detection of microRNA-21. Fluorescently labeled fuel probes can form branched nanostructures and new DNAzyme under the action of the target, and the newly formed DNAzyme can trigger a new round of reactions, resulting in enhanced fluorescence signals. This platform is a simple, efficient, fast, low-cost, and selective method for the detection of microRNA-21, which can detect microRNA-21 at concentrations as low as 0.004 nM and can distinguish sequence differences by single-base differences. In tissue samples from liver cancer patients, the platform shows the same detection accuracy as real-time PCR but with better reproducibility. In addition, through the flexible design of the trigger chain, our method could be adapted to detect other nucleic acids biomarkers.

Bidirectional motivated bimodal isothermal strand displacement amplifier with a table tennis-like movement for the ultrasensitive fluorescent and colorimetric detection of depression-related microRNA. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1247:340894. [PMID: 36781251 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.340894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
An increasing number of studies have highlighted the potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) as physiological indicators of major depressive disorder (MDD). Herein, we developed a bidirectional-motivated bimodal isothermal strand displacement amplifier (BB-ISDA) for the ultrasensitive fluorescent and colorimetric detection of MDD-related miRNA-132. In the BB-ISDA system, a pair of functionalized hairpin probes (HP1 and HP2) with nicking recognition sites are designed to recognize target miRNA. The recognition of target miRNA by HP1 (or HP2) generates copious numbers of nicked triggers by HP1 (or HP2)-based ISDA to recognize HP2 (or HP1) by autonomous strand polymerization, cleavage, and displacement, which in turn induces the subsequent generation of copious numbers of nicked G-quadruplex triggers by HP2 (or HP1)-based ISDA to recognize HP1 (or HP2) along a same line. After many cycles, this bidirectional motivated table-tennis-like movement amplifies the fluorescent signal from HP1 and the colorimetric signal from HP2, simultaneously. The dual-signal output pattern was cross-validated for sensing miRNA-132. Each of the detection modal shows the capability for qualitative and quantitative detection of miRNA-132 with high sensitivity and specificity. The adaptability of the bimodal mechanism was verified via the detection of target miRNA-132 from clinical human blood samples. We envision that this BB-ISDA with dual-signal output for accurate and reliable analysis of miRNA is promising for the molecular diagnosis of human mental diseases.

Abstract
As important post-transcriptional regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) play irreplaceable roles in diverse cellular functions. Dysregulated miRNA expression is implicated in various diseases including cancers, and thus miRNAs have become the valuable biomarkers for disease monitoring. Recently, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated (CRISPR/Cas) system has shown great promise for the development of next-generation biosensors because of its precise localization capability, good fidelity, and high cleavage activity. Herein, we review recent advance in development of CRISPR/Cas-based biosensors for miRNA detection. We summarize the principles, features, and performance of these miRNA biosensors, and further highlight the remaining challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Plant microRNAs play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation of many processes, thus motivating the development of accurate and user-friendly microRNA detection methods for better understanding of, e.g., plant growth, development, and abiotic/biotic stress responses. By integrating the capture probe, fuel strand, primer, and template onto the surface of a magnetic nanoparticle (MNP), we demonstrated a magnetic DNA nanomachine that could conduct an on-particle cascade amplification reaction in response to the presence of target microRNA. The cascade amplification consists of an exonuclease III-assisted target recycling step and a rolling circle amplification step, leading to changes in the MNP arrangement that can be quantified by ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. After a careful investigation of the exonuclease III side reaction, the biosensor offers a detection limit of 15 fM with a total assay time of ca. 70 min. Moreover, our magnetic DNA nanomachine is capable of discriminating the target microRNA from its family members. Our biosensor has also been tested on total endogenous microRNAs extracted from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, with a performance comparable to qRT-PCR.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to design a unique bioelectrode for the quantitative analysis of a potential cancer biomarker, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), which can be used for the early detection of cancer. We report the fabrication of succinic acid-capped selenomolybdate polyoxometalate nanodots, POM (SA), decorated antimonene hybrid film on glassy carbon as a suitable bioelectrode. Antimonene nanosheets, synthesized by the chemical exfoliation of antimony provided a large surface area for the symmetric dispersal of POM (SA) nanodots, resulting in site-specific covalent immobilization of the aptamer, PDGF-BB. A comprehensive electrochemical immunosensing investigation was performed on the electrode for sensing of a target antigen, Ag-PDGF-BB. The sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility of the bioelectrode were investigated using a best-fit equivalent circuit model that fitted the impedance response. The bioelectrode showed a linear impedimetric response in a broad range for Ag-PDGF-BB (10 pM to 100 nM in pH 7.4 PB) with a limit of detection of 3.5 pM and sensitivity of 80 Ω cm2 per decade. The response sensitivity of the POM(SA)/antimonene hybrid based bioelectrode toward PDGF-BB was approximately ∼1.8-fold higher than that of the POM(SA) only modified bioelectrode. The dissociation constant of immunoreaction between the aptamer-functionalized bioelectrode and target Ag-PDGF-BB was 76 nM, indicating a high binding affinity between the aptamer PDGF-BB and target Ag-PDGF-BB on the electrode surface.

Abstract
Precise and sensitive microRNA (miRNA) analysis is very significant for early disease diagnosis. In this work, a dual DNA nanomachines-based homogeneous electrochemical biosensor was constructed for the sensitively ratiometric detection of miRNA by a nicking enzyme (Nt.AlwI)-assisted cycling signal amplification strategy. The Co-based metal organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) and toluidine blue (TB) were employed as signal probes and internal reference probes, respectively. The introduction of internal reference probes can actually calibrate the interferent factors of the analytical system to improve the stability in detection procedure. In addition, with the help of the magnetic separation technique, the homogeneous electrochemical biosensor provides a more simpler way for the development of immobilization-free electrochemical miRNA biosensors, avoiding the complex modification procedure of traditional electrochemical biosensing interfaces. Consequently, taking advantages of this proposed dual DNA nanomachines-based homogeneous electrochemical biosensor, the highly sensitive and selective detection of miRNA-141 as model could be accomplished in ranging from 1 fM to 10 nM with detection limit of 0.46 fM. This strategy exhited good sensitivity and stability to integrate the nicking enzyme-powered dual DNA nanomachines with the ratiometric electrochemical output modes, which open new opportunities for the sensitive and reliable diagnosis of miRNA-related diseases.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality. The discovery of microRNAs (miRs) and their unique role in cancer and other diseases has prompted the development of highly sensitive molecular diagnostic tools using nanomaterials as sensitive and specific biosensors. Among these, electrochemical biosensors, which are based on a simple and inexpensive design, make them desirable in clinical applications as well as a mass-produced point-of-care device. We review miR-based electrochemical biosensors in GI cancer and examine the use of nanoparticles in the evolving development of miR-based biosensors. Among these, a number of approaches including redox labeled probes, catalysts, redox intercalating agents and free redox indicators are highlighted for use in electrochemical biosensor technology.

Abstract
A highly sensitivity self-powered biosensor is developed based on T7 exonuclease (T7 Exo) and 3D DNA walker induced rolling circle amplification (RCA) for electrochemical/colorimetric dual-mode detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) with improved reliability. Taking its advantage of fascinating properties, such as high structure defects and good conductivity, graphdiyne is prepared and used to prepare high-performance enzyme biofuel cell. T7 Exo-assisted 3D DNA walker target recognition triggers RCA reaction to obtain a significantly amplified signal response. A capacitor is integrated to the enzyme biofuel cell to further amplify the electrochemical output signal of the self-powered biosensor. In detection system, glucose oxidase catalyzes glucose oxidation to produce hydrogen peroxide, and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is then catalyzed to generate colored products, so as to achieve the colorimetric detection of the target. Analysis signals of diverse modes are recorded independently. Consequently, detection of microRNA with improved reliability and wider signal response range are achieved by electrochemical/colorimetric dual-mode with detection limits of 0.15 and 33 fM (S/N = 3) respectively. In addition, the proposed self-powered biosensor successfully applied for the detection of miRNA-21 in human serum samples, confirming its practical applicability in clinical diagnosis. It is powerfully anticipated the proposed self-powered biosensor possesses great potential to be applied to other biomedical domains.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific assay of microRNAs (miRNAs) is beneficial to early disease screening. Herein, we for the first time proposed clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas13a-mediated photoelectrochemical biosensors for the direct assay of miRNA-21. In this study, compared with traditional nucleic acid-based signal amplification strategies, the CRISPR/Cas13a system can greatly improve the specificity and sensitivity of target determination due to its accurate recognition and high-efficient trans-cleavage capability without complex nucleic acid sequence design. Moreover, compared with the CRISPR/Cas12a-based biosensing platform, the developed CRISPR/Cas13a-mediated biosensor can directly detect RNA targets without signal transduction from RNA to DNA, thereby avoiding signal leakage and distortion. Generally, the proposed biosensor reveals excellent analysis capability with a wider linear range from 1 fM to 5 nM and a lower detection limit of 1 fM. Additionally, it also shows satisfactory stability in the detection of human serum samples and cell lysates, manifesting that it has great application prospects in the areas of early disease diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Zip nucleic acid (ZNA)-based genomagnetic assay was developed herein for the electrochemical detection of microRNA-34a (miR-34a), which is related to neurological disorders and cancer. The hybridization between the ZNA probe and miR-34a target was performed in the solution phase; then, the resultant hybrids were immobilized onto the surface of magnetic beads (MBs). After magnetic separation, the hybrids were separated from the surface of MBs and then immobilized on the surface of pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). In the case of a full-match hybridization, the guanine oxidation signal was measured via the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. All the experimental parameters that influenced the hybridization efficiency (i.e., hybridization strategy, probe concentration, hybridization temperature, etc.) were optimized. The cross-selectivity of the genomagnetic assay was tested against two different miRNAs, miR-155 and miR-181b, individually as well as in mixture samples. To show the applicability of the ZNA-based genomagnetic assay for miR-34a detection in real samples, a batch of experiments was carried out in this study by using the total RNA samples isolated from the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HUH-7).

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. They play an important role in many biological processes including human diseases. However, miRNAs are challenging to detect due to their short sequence length and low copy number. A number of conventional (e.g., Northern blot, microarray, and RT-qPCR) and emerging (e.g., nanostructured materials and electrochemical methods) techniques have been developed to detect miRNA, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Some of these techniques have been combined to detect miRNAs as disease biomarkers in point-of-care (POC) settings. Nonetheless, there is still potential for further innovation to facilitate the detection of miRNAs.

Abstract
Until now, morphological assessment with an optical or electronic microscope, fluorescence in situ hybridization, DNA sequencing, flow cytometry, polymerase chain reactions, and immunohistochemistry have been employed for leukemia identification. Nevertheless, despite their numerous different vantages, it is difficult to recognize leukemic cells correctly. Recently, the electrochemical evaluation with a nano-sensing interface seems an attractive alternative. Electrochemical biosensors measure the modification in the electrical characteristics of the nano-sensing interface, which is modified by the contact between a biological recognition element and the analyte objective. The implementation of nanosensors is founded not on single nanomaterials but rather on compilating these components efficiently. Biosensors able to identify the molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid are defined as DNA biosensors. Our review aimed to evaluate the literature on the possible use of electrochemical biosensors for identifying hematological neoplasms such as acute promyelocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia. In particular, we focus our attention on using DNA electrochemical biosensors to evaluate leukemias.

Abstract
The percentage of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in total hemoglobin (Hb) is an important index for the diagnosis of Type II diabetes (T2D) because it reflects the long-term glucose level in blood. Herein, employing a one-pot co-reduction approach using glutathione (GSH) as structure-directing agent, a cluster-like AuAg nanoparticle (AuAg NPs) material was synthesized, therefore an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptamer-sensor for HbA1c detection was developed based on functionalized electrode with this material. Meanwhile, the quantitative determination of total Hb was realized based on the quenching effect of Hb on the fluorescence (FL) of luminol. Under compatible conditions, the results of both indexes can be satisfactorily acquired. This multimodal detection system has a good linear response toward Hb from 0.1 to 2.5 μM and HbA1c from 0.005 to 0.5 μM. The blood test proves this strategy is capable of accurate Hb and HbA1c detection, thus to obtain the percentage of HbA1c in total Hb (HbA1c%), which has the potential application for clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system is a natural adaptive immune system of prokaryotes. The CRISPR-Cas system is currently divided into two classes and six types: types I, III, and IV in class 1 systems and types II, V, and VI in class 2 systems. Among the CRISPR-Cas type VI systems, the CRISPR/Cas13a system has been the most widely characterized for its application in molecular diagnostics, gene therapy, gene editing, and RNA imaging. Moreover, because of the trans-cleavage activity of Cas13a and the high specificity of its CRISPR RNA, the CRISPR/Cas13a system has enormous potential in the field of molecular diagnostics. Herein, we summarize the applications of the CRISPR/Cas13a system in the detection of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, chlamydia, and fungus; biomarkers, such as microRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs; and some non-nucleic acid targets, including proteins, ions, and methyl groups. Meanwhile, we highlight the working principles of some novel Cas13a-based detection methods, including the Specific High-Sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter UnLOCKing (SHERLOCK) and its improved versions, Cas13a-based nucleic acid amplification-free biosensors, and Cas13a-based biosensors for non-nucleic acid target detection. Finally, we focus on some issues that need to be solved and the development prospects of the CRISPR/Cas13a system.

Abstract
Microfluidic technology provides a portable, cost-effective, and versatile tool for point-of-care (POC) bioanalysis because of its associated advantages such as fast analysis, low volumes of reagent consumption, and high portability. Along with microfluidics, the application of nanomaterials in biosensing has attracted lots of attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties for enhanced signal modulation such as signal amplification and signal transduction for POC bioanalysis. Hence, an enormous number of microfluidic devices integrated with nano-sensors have been developed for POC bioanalysis targeting low-resource settings. Herein, we review recent advances in POC bioanalysis on nano-sensor-based microfluidic platforms. We first briefly summarized the different types of cost-effective microfluidic platforms, followed by a concise introduction to nanomaterial-based biosensors. Then, we highlighted the application of microfluidic platforms integrated with nano-sensors for POC bioanalysis. Finally, we discussed the current limitations and perspective trends of the nano-sensor-based microfluidic platforms for POC bioanalysis.

Abstract
Signal amplification is commonly used to enhance the sensitivity of biological analysis. Here, we present a strategy involving in vivo asymmetric self-assembly combined with promoter strength regulation to synthesize heterogeneous nanoparticles for signal amplification. Two expression vectors were constructed by genetically inserting, respectively, signal and binding molecules into the hepatitis B core antigen protein (HBcAg) structure. Because of differential expression of the two recombinant proteins in the presence of a strong promoter (T7) and a weak promoter (Tac-1) and spontaneous asymmetric self-assembly in vivo, heterogeneous HBcAg nanoparticles (NPs) with a high ratio of signal-bearing to target-binding molecules were obtained. These nanoparticles contained a large number of green fluorescent proteins as signal molecules and a small number of B1 immunoglobulin-binding domains from protein G for antibody binding, thus enabling sensitive immunoassays. As a proof of concept, improved sensitivity for antibody detection was achieved using the heterogeneous nanoparticle conjugated with a secondary antibody molecule.

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
The high programmability of DNA molecules makes them particularly suitable for constructing artificial molecular machines to perform sophisticated functions by simulating complex living systems. However, intelligent DNA nanomachines which can perform precise tasks logically in complex environments still remain challenging. Herein, we develop a general strategy to design a pH-responsive programmable DNA (PRPD) nanomachine to perform multilayer DNA cascades, enabling precise sensing and calculation of intracellular biomolecules. The PRPD nanomachine is built on a four-stranded DNAzyme walker precursor with a DNA switch on the surface of an Au nanoparticle, which is capable of precisely responding to pH variations in living cells by sequence tuning. This multilayer DNA cascade networks have been applicated in spatially controlled imaging of intracellular microRNA, which efficiently avoided the DNA nanomachine activated by nonspecific extracellular molecules and achieved apparent signal amplification. Our strategy enables the sensing-computing-output functional integration of DNA nanomachines, facilitating the application of programmable and complex nanomachines in nanoengineering, chemistry, and biomedicine.

Abstract
A signal amplification sensing system with target-triggered DNA cascade reaction combined with dual-signal readout technology was designed for ultrasensitive analysis of miRNA. The highly conductive metal organic frameworks (MOFs) derivative, N-doped carbon dodecahedron (N-PCD) was deposited with gold nanoparticles as the electrode substrate, which could assist the electron transfer between the molecular probe and the electrode surface, and could remarkably enhance electrochemical response. Tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (T4-DNA) with high structural stability and mechanical stiffness was designed to improve the loading capacity and binding efficiency of the target, thus increasing the sensitivity of the system. The non-enzymatic amplification method based on the DNA cascade reaction allows the electrochemical responses from dual signal DNA probes labeled with ferrocene (Fc) and methylene blue (MB), respectively in turn to improve the reliability of detection. Under optimal conditions, the sensor has a linear range of 5-1.0 × 104 fM, and the limit of detection is as low as 1.92 fM and 3.74 fM for Fc and MB labeled probe, respectively. This strategy raises the promising application for the rapid detection of miRNA targets with low abundance in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Circulating miRNAs in the blood can regulate disease development and thus indicate disease states via their various expression levels. For these reasons, circulating miRNAs constitute useful biomarkers, and an approach to the accurate detection of circulating miRNAs is attractive in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, methods for clinical detecting of circulating miRNA that take both sensitivity and practicality into account are still needed. Therefore, we aimed herein to solve some inherent problems in the actual detection using a robust surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform with integrated nucleic acid amplification and nanoparticle aggregation to construct 3D hotspots for improving performance of analyzing circulating miRNAs. After target recognition and initial signal amplification by DNAzyme, we observed that release triggered an open hairpin DNA on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which then promote AuNP aggregation, causing the accumulation of a large number of hotspots in three-dimention. The SERS biosensor achieved a better performance than the sandwich-type separation detection, with a low detection limit (0.37 fM) and a broad linear range (1 fM–10 nM) in liquids. This SERS platform can be used as a powerful tool for the detection of circulating miRNAs, and it can be used to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of various clinical-disease diagnoses.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide after cardiovascular disease. The major cause of high mortality is delayed detection. Therefore, detection at an early stage followed by early treatment can mitigate morbidity as well as mortality. The utilization of biomarker-based detection tools helps in early-stage recognition. Fortunately, biomarkers indicating disease status can be released in to the circulation. These include traditional marker proteins as well as exosomes, micro-RNA (miRNA) and circulating tumor DNA (ct-DNA). Biosensors are biological and chemical reaction devices that generate signals based on analyte concentration. Due to analyte binding, these devices demonstrate high sensitivity and specificity. This review examines the use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based sensors in the diagnosis of various cancer including those of the breast, prostate, lung, ovary, cervix and pancreas. SPR is a label-free, real-time and non-invasive optical biosensing technology representing a novel diagnostic tool in cancer detection.

A novel self-cleaning electrochemical biosensor integrating copper porphyrin-derived metal-organic framework nanofilms, G-quadruplex, and DNA nanomotors for achieving cyclic detection of lead ions. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 197:113801. [PMID: 34814032 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
A self-cleaning electrochemical biosensor based on two-dimensional Cu-porphyrin (Cu-TCPP) metal-organic framework nanofilms, novel super G-quadruplex (G4), and DNA nanomotors was developed for the cyclic detection of Pb2+ ions. The Cu-TCPP framework with inherent peroxidase activity can create an ultra-thin nanofilm that functioned as a carrier to support the metastable G4 comprising four individual DNA strands. The introduction of Pb2+ and the intercalation of hemin can help it to form stable G4-hemin DNAzymes, which exhibits strong catalytic H2O2 reduction activity, and its number will be directly related to the amount of the introduced Pb2+. Moreover, a DNA nanomotor system is introduced to achieve cyclic detection, and the addition of the fuel DNA strands enables G4 to perform a "complete-dissociation-complete" process for achieving self-cleaning of the electrode interface and the cycle detection of Pb2+. The synergistic effects of Cu-TCPP and G4-hemin DNAzymes, which exhibits efficient and catalytic H2O2 reduction, enhance the performance of the electrochemical sensing system. The linear range of this sensor to Pb2+ is 5 nM-5 μM, and the detection limit is 1.7 nM. Compared with the best system in reported studies, its linear range is five times wider and its detection limit is lower than the previously lowest one. Taking advantage of the Pb2+ stabilized G4, the proposed sensor can selectively detect Pb2+ in the presence of other metal ions. The results presented herein comprise a valuable reference for constructing DNA nanoelectronic devices and establish sensitive and cyclic detection of the target and preparing of self-cleaning electrode interfaces.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as the small, non-coding, evolutionary conserved, and post-transcriptional gene regulators of the genome, have been highly associated with various diseases such as cancers, viral infections, and cardiovascular diseases. Several techniques have been established to detect miRNAs, including northern blotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and fluorescent microarray platform. However, it remains a significant challenge to develop sensitive, accurate, rapid, and cost-effective methods to detect miRNAs due to their short size, high similarity, and low abundance. The electrochemical biosensors exhibit tremendous potential in miRNA detection because they satisfy feature integration, portability, mass production, short response time, and minimal sample consumption. This article reviewed the working principles and signal amplification strategies of electrochemical DNA biosensors summarized the recent improvements. With the development of DNA nanotechnology, nanomaterials and biotechnology, electrochemical DNA biosensors of high sensitivity and specificity for microRNA detection will shortly be commercially accessible.
