Abstract
The sensitive and accurate detection of target microRNA is especially important for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we report a simple strand displacement and CRISPR-Cas12a amplification strategy with nanozymes as a signal reporter for the binary visual and colorimetric detection of the HCC related microRNA. Pt@Au nanozymes with excellent peroxidase enzyme activity were prepared and linked to magnetic beads via a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) linker. The target microRNA was designed to trigger strand displacement amplification and release a DNA promoter to activate the CRISPR-Cas12a system. The activated CRISPR-Cas12a system efficiently cleaved the linker ssDNA and released Pt@Au nanozymes from magnetic beads to induce the colorimetric reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. The strand displacement amplification converted the single microRNA input into abundant DNA promoter output, which improved the detection sensitivity by over two orders of magnitude. Through integration of strand displacement amplification and the nanozyme-mediated CRISPR-Cas12a system, limits of detection of 0.5 pM and 10 pM for miRNA-21 were achieved with colorimetric and visual readouts, respectively. The proposed strategy can achieve accurate quantitative detection of miRNA-21 in the range from 1 pM to 500 pM. The detection results for miRNA-21 using both colorimetric and visual readouts were validated in 40 clinical serum samples. Significantly, the proposed strategy achieved visual HCC diagnosis with the naked eye and could distinguish distinct Barcelona clinical HCC stages by colorimetric detection, showing good application prospects for sensitive and facile point-of-care testing for HCC.

Photonic crystal-enhanced fluorescence biosensor with logic gate operation based on one-pot cascade amplification DNA circuit for enzyme-free and ultrasensitive analysis of two microRNAs. Talanta 2024; 277:126428. [PMID: 38897009 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126428] [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: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
The development of sensitive and efficient analytical methods for multiple biomarkers is crucial for cancer screening at early stage. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of biomarkers with diagnostic potential for cancer. However, the ultrasensitive and logical analysis of multiple miRNAs with simple operation still faces some challenges. Herein, a photonic crystal (PC)-enhanced fluorescence biosensor with logic gate operation based on one-pot cascade amplification DNA circuit was developed for enzyme-free and ultrasensitive analysis of two cancer-related miRNAs. The fluorescence biosensor was performed by biochemical recognition amplification module (BCRAM) and physical enhancement module (PEM) to achieve logical and sensitive detection. In the BCRAM, one-pot cascade amplification circuit consisted of the upstream parallel entropy-driven circuit (EDC) and the downstream shared catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA). The input of target miRNA would trigger each corresponding EDC, and the parallel EDCs released the same R strand for triggering subsequent CHA; thus, the OR logic gate was obtained with minimization of design and operation. In the PEM, photonic crystal (PC) array was prepared easily for specifically enhancing the fluorescence output from BCRAM by the optical modulation capabilities; meanwhile, the high-throughput signal readout was achieved by microplate analyzer. Benefiting from the integrated advantages of two modules, the proposed biosensor achieved ultrasensitive detection of two miRNAs with easy logic gate operation, obtaining the LODs of 8.6 fM and 6.7 fM under isothermal and enzyme-free conditions. Hence, the biosensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, easy operation, multiplex and high-throughput analysis, showing great potential for cancer screening at early stage.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are emerging as one of the most promising drug delivery systems. The long-circulating effect of intact LNPs (i-LNPs) is the key to efficacy and toxicity in vivo. However, the significant challenge is specific and sensitive detection of i-LNPs. Herein, a dual-recognition fluorescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DR-FELISA) was developed to directly isolate and detect i-LNPs by combining dual-recognition separation with a one-step signal amplification strategy. The microplates captured and enriched i-LNPs through antibody-antigen reaction. Dual-chol probes were spontaneously introduced into the lipid bilayer of captured i-LNPs, converting the detection of i-LNPs into the detection of double-cholesterol probes. Finally, the end of the dual-chol probes initiated the localized scaffolding autocatalytic DNA circuits (SADC) system for further signal amplification. The SADC system provides a sensitive and efficient amplifier through localized network structures and self-assembled triggers. Simultaneous recognition of i-LNPs surface PEG-lipid and lipid bilayer structures significantly eliminates interference from biological samples. i-LNPs were detected with high selectivity, ranging from 0.2 to 1.25 mg/mL with a limit of detection of 0.1 mg/mL. Moreover, this method allows the isolation and quantitative analysis of different formulations of i-LNPs in serum samples with a satisfactory recovery rate ranging from 94.8 to 116.3%. Thus, the DR-FELISA method provides an advanced platform for the exclusive and sensitive detection of i-LNPs, providing new insights for the study of the quality and intracorporal process of complex formulations.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the serious threats to public life and health. Early diagnosis, real-time monitoring, and individualized treatment are the keys to improve the survival rate and prolong the survival time of cancer patients. Liquid biopsy is a potential technique for cancer early diagnosis due to its non-invasive and continuous monitoring properties. However, most current liquid biopsy techniques lack the ability to detect cancers at the early stage. Therefore, effective detection of a variety of cancers is expected through the combination of various techniques. Recently, DNA frameworks with tailorable functionality and precise addressability have attracted wide spread attention in biomedical applications, especially in detecting cancer biomarkers such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), exosomes and circulating tumor nucleic acid (ctNA). Encouragingly, DNA frameworks perform outstanding in detecting these cancer markers, but also face some challenges and opportunities. In this review, we first briefly introduced the development of DNA frameworks and its typical structural characteristics and advantages. Then, we mainly focus on the recent progress of DNA frameworks in detecting commonly used cancer markers in liquid-biopsy. We summarize the advantages and applications of DNA frameworks for detecting CTCs, exosomes and ctNA. Furthermore, we provide an outlook on the possible opportunities and challenges for exploiting the structural advantages of DNA frameworks in the field of cancer diagnosis. Finally, we envision the marriage of DNA frameworks with other emerging materials and technologies to develop the next generation of disease diagnostic biosensors.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNA (miRNA) is a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis, metastasis, and treatment. In situ detection of exosomal miRNA is an attractive option due to its simplicity and high accuracy. However, in situ exosomal miRNA detection has encountered challenges because of the low target abundance of targets and limited probe permeability. Herein, a label-free and activatable biosensor was developed for in situ exosomal miRNA assays by utilizing hairpin-shaped nucleic acid probes and DNA-hosted silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs). The probe is directly internalized into the exosomes, and then hybridized with the target miRNA-21. Subsequently, the DNA-AgNCs are pulled closer to the G-rich sequence, ultimately leading to in situ red fluorescence activation. The biosensor not only can detect exosomal miRNA-21 but also distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. Under optimal reaction conditions, the detection limit (LOD) of exosomal miRNA-21 is 1.53 × 107 particles per mL. Furthermore, DNA-AgNCs are used as label-free signal elements for in situ detection of exosomal miRNAs for the first time, expanding the application of nanomaterials in this field. This strategy does not require tedious RNA extraction steps and expensive instruments, and may develop into a non-invasive diagnostic tool for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles derived from cells, are known to carry important bioactive molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. These bioactive components play crucial roles in cell signaling, immune response, and tumor metastasis, making exosomes potential diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases. However, current methods for detecting tumor exosomes face scientific challenges including low sensitivity, poor specificity, complicated procedures, and high costs. It is essential to surmount these obstacles to enhance the precision and dependability of diagnostics that rely on exosomes. Merging DNA signal amplification techniques with the signal boosting capabilities of nanomaterials presents an encouraging strategy to overcome these constraints and improve exosome detection. This article highlights the use of DNA signal amplification technology and nanomaterials' signal enhancement effect to improve the detection of exosomes. This review seeks to offer valuable perspectives for the enhancement of amplification methods applied in practical cancer diagnosis and prognosis by providing an overview of how these novel technologies are utilized in exosome-based diagnostic procedures.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in intercellular communication, regulating gene expression in target cells, and hold significant promise as cancer biomarkers for early detection and screening. However, achieving precise and viable detection of exosomal miRNAs remains a challenge. This paper proposes an all-in-one detection strategy for breast cancer-derived exosomal miRNA-21 on a pen-based paper chip (PPC). The PPC is constructed using a modified automatic pen and lateral flow assay (LFA), which results in a cost-effective fabrication process. The user only needs to add the sample and trigger the top of the self-contained PPC after a period of time to complete the entire detection process. To enhance the sensitivity of exosomal miRNA testing, an enzyme-free catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) is further introduced, enabling highly sensitive detection of miRNA-21 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 25 fmol. Additionally, the detection of miRNAs in differentially-expressed cells and clinical samples has also been successfully achieved with high specificity. Overall, the proposed PPC provides an effective tool for detecting early cancer, monitoring diseases, and establishing point of care testing (POCT).

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are primarily kinds of food hazards that provoke serious harm to human health via contaminated or spoiled food. Given that pathogenic bacteria continue to reproduce and expand once they contaminate food, pathogenic bacteria of high concentration triggers more serious losses and detriments. Hence, it is essential to detect low-dose pollution at an early stage with high sensitivity. Aptamers, also known as "chemical antibodies", are oligonucleotide sequences that have attracted much attention owing to their merits of non-toxicity, small size, variable structure as well as easy modification of functional group. Aptamer-based bioanalysis has occupied a critical position in the field of rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria. This is attributed to the unique advantage of using aptamers as recognition elements in signal amplification strategies. The signal amplification strategy is an effective means to improve the detection sensitivity. Some diverse signal amplification strategies emphasize the synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials with signal amplification capabilities, while others introduce various nucleic acid amplification techniques into the detection system. This review focuses on a variety of signal amplification strategies employed in aptamer-based detection approaches to pathogenic bacteria. Meanwhile, we provided a detailed introduction to the design principles and characteristics of signal amplification strategies, as well as the improvement of sensor sensitivity. Ultimately, the existing issues and development trends of applying signal amplification strategies in apta-sensing analysis of pathogenic bacteria are critically proposed and prospected. Overall, this review discusses from a new perspective and is expected to contribute to the further development of this field.

Abstract
Catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) is a promising enzyme-free, isothermal signal amplification strategy, but the relatively time-consuming strand replacement limits its application scenarios. Here, we developed an ultrasound-enhanced catalytic hairpin assembly (UECHA) biosensing platform for early screening of Alzheimer's disease by introducing a portable acoustic-drive platform with functionalized microspheres for effective biomarkers enrichment and fluorescence enhancement. By constructing a gradient ultrasonic field in a microcavity, the platform concentrates the functionalized microspheres in a central position, accompanied by an enhanced fluorescence signal with a specific release. In addition, the programmable frequency modulation can also modify the acoustic potential well and effectively promote non-equilibrium chemical reactions such as CHA (25 min). Compared with the conventional catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), UECHA allows for direct and quantitative measurement of AD miRNAs down to 3.55 × 10-15 M in 1 μL samples. This visual analysis of ultra-trace biomarkers based on acoustic enrichment and promotion provides a new perspective for the rapid and highly sensitive clinical detection of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Intracellular dynamic assembly of DNA structures may be beneficial for the development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for the regulation of cell behaviors, providing new strategies for disease diagnosis and intervention. Herein, we propose the dynamic assembly of DNA coacervates in living cells triggered by miRNA-21 and K+, which can be used for both miRNA imaging and mitochondrial intervention. The rationale is that miRNA-21 can trigger the hybridization chain reaction to generate G-quadruplex precursors, and K+ can mediate the assembly of G-quadruplex-based coacervates, allowing the colorimetric detection of miRNA-21 ranging from 10 pM to 10 μM. Moreover, the as-formed DNA coacervates can specifically target mitochondria in MCF-7 breast cancer cells using the MCF-7 cell membrane as delivery carriers, which further act as an anionic shielding to inhibit communication between mitochondria and environments, with a significant inhibitory effect on ATP production and cellular migration behaviors. This work provides an ideal multifunctional nanoplatform for rationally interfering with cellular metabolism and migration behaviors through the dynamic assembly of DNA coacervates mediated by endogenous molecules, which has a large number of potential applications in the biomedical field, especially theranostics for cancer metastasis.

A sensitive and rapid electrochemical biosensor for sEV-miRNA detection based on domino-type localized catalytic hairpin assembly. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:328. [PMID: 37689652 PMCID: PMC10492399 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02092-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Small extracellular-vesicule-associated microRNA (sEV-miRNA) is an important biomarker for cancer diagnosis. However, rapid and sensitive detection of low-abundance sEV-miRNA in clinical samples is challenging. Herein, a simple electrochemical biosensor that uses a DNA nanowire to localize catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), also called domino-type localized catalytic hairpin assembly (DT-LCHA), has been proposed for sEV-miRNA1246 detection. The DT-LCHA offers triple amplification, (i). CHA system was localized in DNA nanowire, which shorten the distance between hairpin substrate, inducing the high collision efficiency of H1 and H2 and domino effect. Then, larger numbers of CHAs were triggered, capture probe bind DT-LCHA by exposed c sites. (ii) The DNA nanowire can load large number of electroactive substance RuHex as amplified electrochemical signal tags. (iii) multiple DT-LCHA was carried by the DNA nanowire, only one CHA was triggered, the DNA nanowire was trapped by the capture probe, which greatly improve the detection sensitivity, especially when the target concentration is extremely low. Owing to the triple signal amplification in this strategy, sEV-miRNA at a concentration of as low as 24.55 aM can be detected in 20 min with good specificity. The accuracy of the measurements was also confirmed using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, the platform showed good performance in discriminating healthy donors from patients with early gastric cancer (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.96) and was equally able to discriminate between benign gastric tumors and early cancers (AUC: 0.77). Thus, the platform has substantial potential in biosensing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology has shown great promise for biosensing and molecular recognition. However, the practical application of conventional DNA biosensors is constrained by inadequate target stimuli, intricate design schemes, multicomponent systems, and susceptibility to nuclease degradation. To overcome these limitations, we present a class of starlike branched and multiplex embedded system (SBES) with an integrated functional design and cascade exponential amplification for serum microRNA (miRNA) detection. The DNA arms can be integrated into an all-in-one system by surrounding a branch point, with each arm endowed with specific functionalities by embedding different DNA fragments. These fragments include a segment complementary to the target miRNA for the recognition element, palindromic tails for self-primed polymerization, and a region with the same sequences as the target serving as the target analogue. Upon exposure to a target miRNA, the DNA arms unwind in a stepwise manner through palindrome-mediated dimerization and polymerization. This enables target recycling for subsequent reactions while releasing the target analogue to generate a secondary response in a feedback manner. A comparative analysis illustrates that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a full SBES with a feedback strategy is approximately 250% higher than the system without a feedback design. We demonstrate that the four-arm 4pSBES has the benefits of multifunctional integration, enhanced sensitivity, and low false-positive signals, which makes this approach ideally suited for clinical diagnosis. Moreover, an upgraded SBES with additional DNA arms (e.g., 6pSBES) can be constructed to allow multifunctional extension, offering unprecedented opportunities to build versatile DNA nanostructures for biosensing.

Abstract
Precise and early screening of colorectal cancer (CRC) is one crucial yet challenging task for its treatment, and the analysis of multi-targets of CRC in a single assay with high accuracy is essential for pathological research and clinical diagnosis. Here, a CRC-related biomarker pair, microRNA-211 (miRNA-211) and H2S, was detected by constructing a three-dimensional (3D) ordered DNA network. First, trace amount of miRNA-211 could initiate a hybridization chain reaction-based amplification process. A highly ordered 3D DNA network was formed based on the organized assembly of DNA-cube frameworks that were constructed by DNA origamis and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated inside. In the presence of the H2S, Ag NPs within the network can be etched to generate Ag2S quantum dots, which could be better visualized in fluorescence in situ cell imaging. Using the 3D DNA ordered network as the sensing platform, it can acquire dual analysis of biomolecule (miRNA-211) and inorganic gas (H2S) in vitro, overcoming the limitations of single type of biomarker detection in a single assay. This assay achieved a wide linearity range of H2S from 0.05 to 10 μM, and exhibited a low limit of detection of 4.78 nM. This strategy allows us to acquire the spatial distributions of H2S and miRNA expression levels in living CRC cells simultaneously, providing a highly sensitive and selective tool for early screening and monitoring of CRC.

Abstract
As an important mediator of information transfer between cells, exosomes play a unique role in regulating tumor growth, supporting vascular proliferation, tumor invasion, and metastasis. Exosomes are widely present in various body fluids, and therefore they can be used as a potential tool for non-invasive liquid biopsy. The present study reviews the role of exosomes in liquid biopsy, tumor microenvironment formation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy as a first-line treatment for patients with NSCLC, this study also briefly describes the occurrence of EGRF+ exosomes and the role of exosomes and their contents in non-invasive detection and potential therapeutic targets in EGFR-mutated lung cancer.
