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.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2024:10.1007/s00216-024-05277-x. [PMID: 38647693 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05277-x] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
A highly efficient ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay was explored by bidirectionally regulating the ECL intensity of two luminophors. The immunoassay was conducted in a split-type mode consisting of an ECL detection procedure and a sandwich immunoreaction. The ECL detection was executed using a dual-disk glassy carbon electrode modified with two potential-resolved luminophors (g-C3N4-Ag and Ru-MOF-Ag nanocomposites), and the sandwich immunoreaction using glucose oxidase (GOx)-modified SiO2 nanospheres as labels was carried out in a 96-well plate. The Ag nanoparticles (NPs) acted as bifunctional units both for triggering the resonance energy transfer (RET) with g-C3N4 and for accelerating the electron transfer rate of the Ru-MOF-Ag ECL reaction. When the H2O2 catalyzed by GOx in the 96-well plate was transferred to the dual-disk glass carbon electrode, the doped Ag NPs in the two luminophors could be etched, thus destroying the RET between C3N4 and the accelerated reaction to Ru-MOF, resulting in an opposite trend in the ECL signal outputted from the dual disks. Using the ratio of the two signals for quantification, the constructed immunosensor for a model target, i.e. myoglobin, exhibited a low detection limit of 4.7 × 10-14 g/mL. The ingenious combination of ECL ratiometry, bifunctional Ag NPs, and a split-type strategy effectively reduces environmental and human errors, offering a more precise and sensitive analysis for complex samples.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) is a versatile signal transduction strategy widely used in the fabrication of chem/biosensors. However, this technique has not yet been applied in visualized imaging analysis of intracellular species due to the insulating nature of the cell membrane. Here, we construct a ratiometric ECL-RET analytical method for hypochlorite ions (ClO-) by ECL luminophore, with a luminol derivative (L-012) as the donor and a fluorescence probe (fluorescein hydrazide) as the acceptor. L-012 can emit a strong blue ECL signal and fluorescein hydrazide has negligible absorbance and fluorescence signal in the absence of ClO-. Thus, the ECL-RET process is turned off at this time. In the presence of ClO-, however, the closed-loop hydrazide structure in fluorescein hydrazide is opened via specific recognition with ClO-, accompanied with intensified absorbance and fluorescence signal. Thanks to the spectral overlap between the ECL spectrum of L-012 and the absorption spectrum of fluorescein, the ECL-RET effect is gradually recovered with the addition of ClO-. Furthermore, the ECL-RET system has been successfully applied to image intracellular ClO-. Although the insulating nature of the cell itself can generate a shadow ECL pattern in the cellular region, extracellular ECL emission penetrates the cell membrane and excites intracellular fluorescein generated by the reactions between fluorescein hydrazide and ClO-. The cell imaging strategy via ECL-RET circumvents the blocking of the cell membrane and enables assays of intracellular species. The importance of the ECL-RET platform lies in calibrating the fluctuation from the external environment and improving the selectivity by using fluorescent probes. Therefore, this ratiometric ECL sensor has shown broad application prospects in the identification of targets in clinical diagnosis and environmental monitoring.

Ternary electrochemiluminescence quenching effects of CuFe 2O 4@PDA-MB towards self-enhanced Ru(dcbpy) 32+ functionalized 2D metal-organic layer and application in carcinoembryonic antigen immunosensing. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342091. [PMID: 38182343 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342091] [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: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a significant glycosylated protein, and the unusual expression of CEA in human serum is used as a tumor marker in the clinical diagnosis of many cancers. Although scientists have reported many ways to detect CEA in recent years, such as electrochemistry, photoelectrochemistry, and fluorescence, their operation is complex and sensitivity is average. Therefore, finding a convenient method to accurately detect CEA is significance for the prevention of malignant tumors. With high sensitivity, quick reaction, and low background, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has emerged as an essential method for the detection of tumor markers in blood. RESULTS In this work, a "signal on-off" ECL immunosensor for sensitive analysis of CEA ground on the ternary extinction effects of CuFe2O4@PDA-MB towards a self-enhanced Ru(dcbpy)32+ functionalized metal-organic layer [(Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd] was prepared. The high ECL efficiency of (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd originated from the dual intramolecular self-catalysis, including intramolecular co-reaction between polyethylenimine (PEI) and Ru(dcbpy)32+. At the same time, loading Pd NPs onto (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI could not only improve the electron transfer ability of (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI, but also provide more active sites for the reaction of Ru(dcbpy)32+ and PEI. In the presence of CEA, CuFe2O4@PDA-MB-Ab2 efficiently quenches the excited states of (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd by PDA, Cu2+, and methylene blue (MB) via energy and electron transfer, leading to an ECL signal decrease. Under optimal conditions, the proposed CEA sensing strategy showed satisfactory properties ranging from 0.1 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 20 fg mL-1. SIGNIFICANCE The (Hf)MOL-Ru-PEI-Pd and CuFe2O4@PDA-MB were prepared in this work might open up innovative directions to synthesize luminescence-functionalized MOLs and effective quencher. Besides, the ECL quenching mechanism of Ru(dcbpy)32+ by MB was successfully explained by the inner filter effect (ECL-IFE). At last, the proposed immunosensor exhibits excellent repeatability, stability, and selectivity, and may provide an attractive way for CEA and other disease markers determination.

Abstract
To detect a range of trace biomarkers associated with human diseases, researchers have been focusing on developing biosensors that possess high sensitivity and specificity. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors have emerged as a prominent research tool in recent years, owing to their potential superiority in low background signal, high sensitivity, straightforward instrumentation, and ease of operation. Functional nanomaterials (FNMs) exhibit distinct advantages in optimizing electrical conductivity, increasing reaction rate, and expanding specific surface area due to their small size effect, quantum size effect, and surface and interface effects, which can significantly improve the stability, reproducibility, and sensitivity of the biosensors. Thereby, various nanomaterials (NMs) with excellent properties have been developed to construct efficient ECL biosensors. This review provides a detailed summary and discussion of FNMs-based ECL biosensors and their applications in cancer biomarkers detection.

Abstract
It is of great significance for the analysis of multiple biomarkers because a single biomarker is difficult to accurately achieve early diagnosis, disease course monitoring, and prognosis evaluation. Herein, a luminescence thermosensitive hydrogel was synthesized by radical polymerization using a methacrylic acid derivative monomer of luminol (LuMA) as luminescent, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) as thermosensitive monomer, and acrydite-oligonucleotides [dopamine (DA) aptamer, DNA C1, and DNA C2] as recognition elements. The combined DA based on the affinity interaction between the DA and the aptamer on the hydrogel polymer chain was electrochemically oxidized to dopamine quinone during the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) scanning, which effectively quenched the ECL signal of LuMA due to the resonance energy transfer (RET). In addition, the thermosensitive hydrogel showed swelling-collapse characteristics when the temperature was below and above the volume phase transition temperature. Undergoing the collapse process initiated by the temperature, the RET efficiency was further enhanced due to the shortened distance between the energy donor and acceptor, showing a 1.4 times signal amplification and achieving sensitive detection of DA with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.7 × 10-10 M. For a proof of concept application, coupled with the target-induced release of DA from the DNA-magnetic beads bioconjugations based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted target recycling amplification strategy and DNAzyme cleavage reaction, this ECL-RET approach was successfully used to evaluate multiple targets including miRNA-141 and MUC1 with the LOD of 2.5 aM and 1.6 fg/mL, respectively. The excellent performances of the versatile and robust ECL-RET hydrogel in multiple target sensing showed potential applications in clinical diagnosis and disease therapeutic assay.

Abstract
MiRNAs played critical roles in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) as potential biomarkers. Herein, an efficient signal "off-on" mode-biosensor based on electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) was successfully constructed for the miRNA-150-5p determination in TNBC. The ECL-RET regulated-sensing platform consisted of NiMn-LDHs nanoflowers, the artificially assembled phospholipid bilayers and hairpin DNA-labeled Eu-doped MoS2 QDs. Firstly, Eu-doped MoS2 QDs with high quantum efficiency were prepared as the ECL-RET donors. And NiMn-layer double hydroxides (LDHs) nanoflowers with wide UV-vis absorption spectra as the ECL-RET acceptors. Secondly, due to the hairpin DNA structure, the closed distance between ECL-RET donor-acceptor pair can quench the luminescence signal of Eu-doped MoS2 QDs. When miRNA-150-5p was captured, the hairpin DNA structure changed to a rodlike configuration and enlarged the distance between Eu-doped MoS2 QDs and NiMn-LDHs. As a result, the recovery of ECL signal can be observed as a signal "turn off-on" mode. Furthermore, the hydrophilicity of the lipid bilayer can reduce the nonspecific adsorption and improve the flexibility of the hairpin DNA efficiently. Therefore, based on the ECL-RET regulation strategy, the biosensor was employed to detect miRNA-150-5p from 10 fM to 1 nM with a detection limit of 1.5 fM. The constructed biosensor can effectively differentiate TNBC patient tumor and healthy breast fibroadenoma. The ECL-RET regulation strategy provided a new biosensing pathway for ultrasensitive detection of biomolecules and promoted the development of diagnosis and treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
In recent years, electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) with low background signal and high specificity has attracted much attention among researchers. Herein, we established a novel ECL-RET biosensor for PML/RARα fusion gene detection. In this ECL-RET system, carbon dots (CDs) with low toxicity and prominent electrochemical activity were used as donor and Au@Ag2S core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag2S NPs) were employed as ECL acceptor. The Au@Ag2S NPs possessed a wide ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectrum between 500 nm and 700 nm, which completely overlapped with the ECL spectrum of CDs. Furthermore, the CDs-decorated poly-amidoamine/reduced graphene oxide (CDs/PAMAM/rGO) nanocomposites were prepared to improve the ECL signals and served as a substrate to stably load capture probe deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Based on the ECL-RET biosensing strategy, the Au@Ag2S NPs-labeled assistant probes and target DNA could pair with capture probes to form the sandwich-type DNA structure and the distance between donor and accepter was closed, leading to quenching of the ECL signal of CDs. The ECL-RET biosensor represented eminent analytical performance for PML/RARα fusion gene detection with a wide linear relationship from 5 fM to 500 pM and a low detection limit of 0.72 fM, which provided a novel technical means and theoretical basis for detection and diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) bifunctional aptasensor has been established for the detection of miRNA-126 using V2CTx MXene-derived porphyrin-based metal-organic framework embedded with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) (denoted as AgNPs@V-PMOF) as a robust bioplatform. Due to the presence of V nodes in V2CTx MXene nanosheets, V-based MOF was prepared using tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin as ligand, followed by the incorporation of Ag+ ions to form the AgNPs@V-PMOF Schottky heterojunction. Benefiting from the fast electron transfer of the V2CTx substrate and well-matched band-edge energy level of the photosensitive Ag NPs and V-PMOF, the constructed AgNPs@V-PMOF Schottky heterojunction exhibited the promoted transfer of the photogenerated carriers, showing superior PEC and ECL performances. Moreover, a large number of the complementary DNA strand of miRNA-126 can be immobilized over AgNPs@V-PMOF in view of the combined interaction of π-π stacking, van der Waals force, and Ag-N coordination between AgNPs@V-PMOF. Consequently, the developed AgNPs@V-PMOF-based aptasensor illustrated extremely low detection limits of 0.78 and 0.53 fM within a wide range from 1.0 fM to 1.0 nM of miRNA-126 detected by PEC and ECL techniques, respectively, superior to most reported miRNA aptasensors. Also, the provided bifunctional aptasensor demonstrated high selectivity, good stability, fine reproducibility, and acceptable regenerability, as well as promising potential for the analysis of miRNA-126 from living cancer cells. This work puts forward the development of aptasensors for the early and accurate diagnosis of cancer markers and extends the application of MOF in the biosensing field.

Abstract
PCR-based techniques routinely employed for the detection of mutated linear DNA molecules, including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), require large nucleotide sections on both sides of the mutation for primer annealing. This means that DNA fragments with a mutation positioned closer to the extremities are unlikely to be detected. Thus, sensors capable of recognizing linear DNA with characteristic mutations closer to the ends would be advantageous over the state-of-the-art approaches. Here, an electrochemiluminescence-resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) biosensor comprising capped CdS quantum dots and hairpin DNA probes labeled with Au nanoparticles was developed for the detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ctDNA carrying the critical T790M lung cancer mutation. The ECL-RET system detected different DNA molecules including single-stranded 18-nucleotides (nt) and 40-nt as well as double-stranded 100-nt with the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) coding for T790M located either in the middle or only 7 nt from one end. For all target DNA, the sensor's limits of detection (LODs) were in the aM range, with excellent selectivity. It was the case of 100-nt target linear ctDNA fragments with LODs of 8.1 and 3.4 aM when the EGFR T790M SNP was either in the middle or at the end, respectively. These results show that ECL-RET systems can sense mutations in DNA fragments that would remain undetected by standard techniques.

Abstract
Semiconductor-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors have garnered significant attention in the field of disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the recognition units of these biosensors are mainly limited to bioactive macromolecules, which hinder the photoelectric response due to their insulating characteristics. In this study, we develop an in situ-sensitized strategy that utilizes a small-molecule probe at the interface of the photoelectrode to accurately detect α-glucosidase (α-Glu) activity. Silane, a prototype small-molecule probe, was surface-modified on graphitic carbon nitride to generate Si nanoparticles upon reacting with hydroquinone, the enzymatic product of α-Glu. The in situ formed heterojunction enhances the light-harvesting property and photoexcited carrier separation efficiency. As a result, the in situ-sensitized PEC biosensor demonstrates excellent accuracy, a low detection limit, and outstanding anti-interference ability, showing good applicability in evaluating α-Glu activity and its inhibitors in human serum samples. This novel in situ sensitization approach using small-molecule probes opens up new avenues for developing simple and efficient PEC biosensing platforms by replacing conventional biorecognition elements.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel donor-acceptor pair was creatively proposed based on the principle of electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET): luminol immobilized on polyethyleneimine (PEI)-functionalized manganese-based single-atom nanozymes (Mn SANE/PEI-luminol, donor) and a PtCu-grafted hollow metal polydopamine framework (PtCu/h-MPF, acceptor). A quenched ECL immunosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive analysis of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Mn SANE, as an efficient novel coreaction accelerator with the outstanding performance of significantly activating H2O2 to produce large amounts of ROS, was further modified by the coreactant PEI, which efficiently immobilized luminol to form a self-enhanced emitter. As a result, the electron transport distance was effectively shortened, the energy loss was reduced, and luminol achieved a high ECL efficiency. More importantly, PtCu-grafted h-MPF (PtCu/h-MPF) was proposed as a novel quencher. The UV-vis spectra of PtCu/h-MPF partially overlap with the ECL spectra of Mn SANE/PEI-luminol, which can effectively trigger the ECL-RET behavior between the donor and the acceptor. The multiple quenching effect on Mn SANE/PEI-luminol was achieved, which significantly improved the sensitivity of the immunosensor. The prepared immunosensor exhibited good linearity in the concentration range of 10-5 to 80 ng/mL. The results indicate that this work provides a new method for the early detection of CEA in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are a promising class of nanomaterials for developing new photoelectrodes and photoelectrochemistry systems for energy storage, transfer, and biosensing applications. These materials have unique electronic and photophysical properties and can be used as optical nanoprobes in displays, biosensors, imaging, optoelectronics, energy storage and energy harvesting. Researchers have recently been exploring the use of QDs in photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, which involve exciting a QD-interfaced photoactive material with a flashlight source and generating a photoelectrical current as an output signal. The simple surface properties of QDs also make them suitable for addressing issues related to sensitivity, miniaturization, and cost-effectiveness. This technology has the potential to replace current laboratory practices and equipment, such as spectrophotometers, used for testing sample absorption and emission. Semiconductor QD-based PEC sensors offer simple, fast, and easily miniaturized sensors for analyzing a variety of analytes. This review summarizes the various strategies for interfacing QD nanoarchitectures for PEC sensing, as well as their signal amplification. PEC sensing devices, particularly those used for the detection of disease biomarkers, biomolecules (glucose, dopamine), drugs, and various pathogens, have the potential to revolutionize the biomedical field. This review discusses the advantages of semiconductor QD-based PEC biosensors and their fabrication methods, with a focus on disease diagnostics and the detection of various biomolecules. Finally, the review provides prospects and considerations for QD-based photoelectrochemical sensor systems in terms of their sensitivity, speed, and portability for biomedical applications.

A resonant energy transfer electrochemiluminescence immunosensor based on low trigger potential of Zn-metal organic framework and CoOOH nanosheets for 5-fluorouracil detection.

Abstract
The organic luminophores have inspired widespread interest in electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Herein, a novel rod-like metal-organic framework was formed by chelating Zn ion with 9,10-di(p-carboxyphenyl)-anthracene (DPA), defined as Zn-MOF for simplicity. In this proposal, the prepared Zn-MOF was first used as a powerful organic luminophore with low trigger potential, thus developing a competitive ECL immunoassay for ultrasensitive detection of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (D-H2) as the coreactant. The absorption spectrum of cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanosheets and the ECL emission spectrum of Zn-MOF could be highly matched, which ensured the occurrence of resonance energy transfer (RET). For that, ECL-RET was applied in the assembly strategy of the ECL biosensor, and Zn-MOF was used as the energy donor and CoOOH nanosheets as the acceptor. Taking advantage of the luminophore and ECL-RET, the immunoassay can be used for ultra-sensitive quantitative detection of 5-fluorouracil. The proposed ECL-RET immunosensor showed satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy with a wider linear range from 0.001 to 1000 ng/mL, and a lower detection limit (0.52 pg/mL). Hence, it is worth believing that this strategy can pave a bright research direction for the detection of 5-FU or other biological small molecules.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analysis has become a powerful tool in recent biomarker detection and clinic diagnosis due to its high sensitivity and broad linear range. To improve the analytical performance of ECL biosensors, various advanced nanomaterials have been introduced to regulate the ECL signal such as graphene, gold nanomaterials, and quantum dots. Among these nanomaterials, some plasmonic nanostructures play important roles in the fabrication of ECL biosensors. The plasmon effect for the ECL signal includes ECL quenching by resonant energy transfer, ECL enhancement by surface plasmon resonance enhancement, and a change in the polarized angle of ECL emission. The influence can be regulated by the distance between ECL emitters and plasmonic materials, and the characteristics of polarization angle-dependent surface plasmon coupling. This paper outlines the recent advances of plasmonic based ECL biosensors involving various plasmonic materials including noble metals and semiconductor nanomaterials. The detection targets in these biosensors range from small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, and cells thanks to the plasmonic effect. In addition to ECL biosensors, ECL microscopy analysis with plasmonic materials is also highlighted because of the enhanced ECL image quality by the plasmonic effect. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges are discussed if more plasmonic effects are introduced into the ECL realm.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is of great significance since it is regarded as a biomarker for prostate diseases. Herein, a facile strategy for the design of highly efficient electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was proposed for PSA assay. Carboxylated graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheet (CCN) and tris (2, 2'-Bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) (Ru(bpy)32+) encapsulated in silica nanospheres (RuSi NPs) were employed as the donor and acceptor, respectively. CCN and RuSi NPs were covalently bound within one nanocomposite (CCN@RuSi) through the amide bond, which greatly shortened the electron-transfer path. Thus, the resonance energy transfer (RET) efficiency was remarkably increased, providing a high initial ECL intensity for the ECL assay. After the successive introducing of aptamer, PSA, and ferroceneboronic acid (FcBA) on the surface of CCN@RuSi modified electrode, the ECL signal remarkably decreased, which was caused by the steric hindrance of PSA and electron transfer quenching between Fc+ and excited-state Ru(bpy)32+*. Therefore, a highly efficient ECL platform was constructed, which achieved the ultrasensitive detection of PSA with a linear range and a limit of detection of 100 fg/mL - 50 ng/mL and 1.2 fg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the dual-affinity of the aptamer and FcBA to PSA endowed the sensor with a high selectivity for the determination of PSA in human serum samples. The present work provides an important reference for the integration of RET and quenching strategy in the ECL study with rapid, ultrasensitive, and highly selective detection performances.

Abstract
The electrochemiluminescence and resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) method was adopted to detect miRNAs, in which the two-dimensional Ti3C2 Mxenes with high surface area modified with CdS:W nanocrystals (CdS:W NCs) were used as ECL signal emitter. Mxenes with a specific surface area of 5.2755 m2/g carried more emitters and promote ECL intensity. As an energy acceptor, BiOCl nanosheets (BiOCl NSs) have a wide UV-Vis absorption peak in the range 250 nm-700 nm, including the emission band of CdS:W NCs with 520 nm emission wavelength. Hence, BiOCl NSs are covalently bound to hairpin DNA 2 by amide bond to quench the ECL signal of CdS:W NCs. In the presence of miRNA-141, the hairpin DNA 1 modified on the GCE was unfold and then paired with hairpin DNA 2 to release miRNA-141 and quench the signal of the ECL biosensor. Then, the concentration signal of miRNA-141 was amplified by catalytic hairpin assembly. The novel specific biosensor demonstrated a satisfactory linear relationship with miRNA-141 in the range 0.6 pM to 4000 pM; the detection limit was as low as 0.26 pM (3 s/m) under the potential of 0 ~ -1.3 V and showed outstanding RSD of 1.19%. The findings of the present work with high accuracy and sensitivity will be of positive significance for the clinical diagnosis of miRNA in the future work.

Abstract
DNA nanotweezers (DTs) are reversible DNA nanodevices that can optionally switch between opened and closed states. Due to their excellent flexibility and high programmability, they have been recognized as a promising platform for constructing a diversity of biosensors and logic gates, as well as a versatile tool for molecular biology studies. In this review, we provide an overview of biosensing applications using DTs. First, the design and working principle of DTs are introduced. Next, the signal producing principles of DTs are summarized. Furthermore, biosensing applications of DTs for varying targets and purposes, both in buffers and complex biological environments, are highlighted. Finally, we provide potential opportunities and challenges for the further development of DTs.

Abstract
Energy transfer (ET) is an effective tool to construct photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors for its high sensitivity. Since the materials to develop ET systems are limited, exploring new and universal ET systems is significant. Herein, new photoactive nanosheets (R-CDs NS) formed by self-assembling of red emission carbon dots (R-CDs) have been synthesized, which exhibit wide visible light absorption and stable photocurrent response and have an obvious sensitization effect for TiO2. Gold nanocages (AuNCs), whose absorption overlap well with the R-CDs' emission, were synthesized and served as PEC quenchers for the photosensitized system that consists of TiO2 and R-CDs. The ET between R-CDs and AuNCs can boost the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs of R-CDs and results in a quenched photocurrent of this system. MicroRNA-155 was chosen as a model target. First, the nanocomposite containing R-CDs NS and AuNCs was prepared through DNA modification and hybridization. In the absence of the target, AuNCs and R-CDs were close enough for ET, with TiO2-modified FTO serving as the working electrode, and a quenched photocurrent was detected. In the presence of the target, the disintegration of the nanocomposite was induced through target hybridization and DNA hydrolyzation, leading to the separation of AuNCs and R-CDs NS, and the ET disappeared and led to a high photocurrent. With duplex-specific nuclease enzyme-assisted target recycling, the high sensitivity enabled the sensor to monitor the target in cancer cells. The sensor has a low detection limit of 71 aM. The sensing platform has high sensitivity, good selectivity, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found in food and various other substances, including pesticides and plastics. EDCs are easily absorbed into the body and have the ability to mimic or block hormone function. The radioligand binding assay based on the estrogen receptors binding affinity is widely used to detect estrogenic EDCs but is limited to radioactive substances and requires specific conditions. As an alternative, we developed a human cell-based dimerization assay for detecting EDC-mediated ER-alpha (ERα) dimerization using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). The resultant novel BRET-based on the ERα dimerization assay was used to identify the binding affinity of 17β-estradiol (E2), 17α-estradiol, corticosterone, diethylhexyl phthalate, bisphenol A, and 4-nonylphenol with ERα by measuring the corresponding BRET signals. Consequently, the BRET signals from five chemicals except corticosterone showed a dose-dependent sigmoidal curve for ERα, and these chemicals were suggested as positive chemicals for ERα. In contrast, corticosterone, which induced a BRET signal comparable to that of the vehicle control, was suggested as a negative chemical for ERα. Therefore, these results were consistent with the results of the existing binding assay for ERα and suggested that a novel BRET system can provide information about EDCs-mediated dimerization to ERα.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a powerful transduction technique that has rapidly gained importance as a powerful analytical technique. Since ECL is a surface-confined process, a comprehensive understanding of the generation of ECL signal at a nanometric distance from the electrode could lead to several highly promising applications. In this work, we explored the mechanism underlying ECL signal generation on the nanoscale using luminophore-reporter-modified DNA-based nanoswitches (i.e., molecular beacon) with different stem stabilities. ECL is generated according to the "oxidative-reduction" strategy using tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) as a coreactant and Ru(bpy)32+ as a luminophore. Our findings suggest that by tuning the stem stability of DNA nanoswitches we can activate different ECL mechanisms (direct and remote) and, under specific conditions, a "digital-like" association curve, i.e., with an extremely steep transition after the addition of increasing concentrations of DNA target, a large signal variation, and low preliminary analytical performance (LOD 22 nM for 1GC DNA-nanoswtich and 16 nM for 5GC DNA-nanoswitch). In particular, we were able to achieve higher signal gain (i.e., 10 times) with respect to the standard "signal-off" electrochemical readout. We demonstrated the copresence of two different ECL generation mechanisms on the nanoscale that open the way for the design of customized DNA devices for highly efficient dual-signal-output ratiometric-like ECL systems.

Abstract
Electroluminescence (ECL) has been used in extensive applications ranging from bioanalysis to clinical diagnosis owing to its simple device requirement, low background, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range. Nucleic acid is a significant theme in ECL bioanalysis. The inherent versatile selective molecular recognition of nucleic acids and their programmable self-assembly make it desirable for the robust construction of nanostructures. Benefiting from their unique structures and physiochemical properties, ECL biosensing based on nucleic acids has experienced rapid growth. This review focuses on recent applications of nucleic acids in ECL sensing systems, particularly concerning the employment of nucleic acids as molecular recognition elements, signal amplification units, and sensing interface schemes. In the end, an outlook of nucleic acid-based ECL biosensing will be provided for future developments and directions. We envision that nucleic acids, which act as an essential component for both bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis, will provide a new thinking model and driving force for developing next-generation sensing systems.

Abstract
In this work, a solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on resonance energy transfer (RET) was proposed using MoS2QDs@g-C3N4 as a donor and NH2-SiO2@PTCA as an acceptor. Herein, MoS2QDs could significantly facilitate the stability and efficiency of the ECL of g-C3N4. PTCA provided a large platform to anchor NH2-SiO2 nanoparticles. The prepared MoS2QDs@g-C3N4 exhibited good spectral overlap with the UV-vis absorption spectrum of NH2-SiO2@PTCA. Based on this, we designed an "off-on" ECL sensing strategy for sensitive and selective detection of glutathione (GSH). Under the best conditions, the linear range of the sensor for GSH detection was from 0.001 to 100 μM with a detection limit of 0.63 nM (S/N = 3). More importantly, GSH in commercial samples can be detected using the proposed sensor, which indicated its superior detection capabilities and potential application value in commercial medicines.
