Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore changes in miRNA133 levels as a basis for clinical diagnostic markers in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A total of 100 chest pain patient cases admitted to a hospital from June 2021 to December 2022 were used. The study involved the selection of 50 patients: 25 patients with unstable undetermined heart pain and 25 healthy subjects were included in the control group of 50 patients with non-AMI patients. Meanwhile, 50 patients with AMI were designated as the experimental group. Changes in miRNA133 levels in patients' plasma were analyzed for expression using quantitative fluorescence analysis. When the serum TPI, plasma NT-ProBNP, glycosylated hemoglobin, and plasma D-dimer index values were compared between the control and experimental groups, there was a statistically significant difference (P < .05). mi-RNA-133 had a mean plasma level value of 2.60 ± 1.01, the mean level value of mi-RNA-133 in patients with non-AMI was 1.34 ± 1.18, and the patients in the AMI group showed significantly high values of the mean plasma level of mi-RNA-133. The relative expression level value of cTnl in patients with AMI was 10.84 ± 12.64. Of the specificity and sensitivity diagnostics, mi-RNA-133 had the best diagnostic effect. The area under mi-RNA-133 in the regression curve was 95.4%, the specificity of the whole combination of indicators was 89.4% and the sensitivity was 100%. Finally, the correlation between mi-RNA-133 and white blood cell count (WBC) and TG was statistically significant (P < .05). In conclusion, changes in the level of mi-RNA-133 may be an important marker for diagnosing the status of patients with AMI, while a faster and more accurate method will emerge along with the improvement of the detection technology, and at the same time, due to the variability of the study cases and other limitations, further research will be carried out subsequently.

Abstract
Cancer detection is still a major challenge in public health. Identification of oncogene is the first step toward solving this problem. Studies have revealed that various cancers are associated with miRNA expression. Therefore, the sensitive detection of miRNA is substantially important to solve the cancer problem. In this study, let-7a, a representative substance of miRNA, was selected as the detection target. With the assistance of magnetic beads commonly used in biosensors and self-synthesized graphene oxide materials, specificity and sensitivity detection of the target gene let-7a were achieved via protease-free signal amplification. The limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 15.015pM. The fluorescence signal intensity showed a good linear relationship with the logarithm of let-7a concentration. The biosensor could also detect let-7a in complex human serum samples. Overall, this fluorescent biosensor is not only simple to operate, but also strongly specificity to detect let-7a. Therefore, it has substantial potential for application in the early diagnosis of clinical medicine and biological research.

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
The early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is dependent on the combined feedback of multiple cardiac biomarkers. However, it remains challenging to precisely detect multicardiac biomarkers in complex blood early due to the lack of sensitive and specific diagnostic indicators and the low abundance and small size of associated biomarkers with high specificity (such as microRNAs). To make matters worse, spectral overlap significantly limits the multiplex analysis of cardiac biomarkers by fluorescent probes, leading to bias in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Herein, we developed a method for simultaneous detection of miRNAs and protein biomarkers using size- and color-coded microbeads that carry signature for target capture. We also constructed a microfluidic chip with different spacer arrays that segregate these microbeads in different chip regions according to their size to produce signature signals, indicating the level of different biomarkers. The signals on the microbeads were hugely amplified by catalytic hairpin assembly and rolling circle amplification. Notably, this strategy enables the simultaneous and in situ sensitive profiling of six kinds of biomarkers via adding two different fluorescent labels, removing the limitations of spectral overlap. We envision that the strategy has great potential for application in clinical diagnosis for AMI.

Abstract
Point-of-care quantitative analysis of tracing microRNA disease-biomarkers remains a great challenge in the clinical diagnosis. In this paper, we developed a portable fluorescent lateral flow assay for ultrasensitive quantified detection of acute myocardial infarction related microRNAs in bio-samples. SiO2@DQD (bilayer quantum dots assembly with SiO2 core) based fluorescent lateral flow strip was fabricated as the analysis tool. In order to quantify the tracing microRNA in biosamples, a catalytic hairpin assembly and CRISPR/Cas12a cascade amplification method was performed and combined with the fabricated SiO2@DQD lateral flow strip. Thus, our platform gathered double advantages of portability and ultrasensitive quantification. Based on our strips, target myocardial biomarker microRNA-133a can be detected with a detection limit of 0.32 fM, which was almost 1000-fold sensitive compared with previous reported microRNAs-lateral flow strips. Significantly, this portable fluorescent strip can directly detect microRNAs in serum without any pretreatment and PCR amplification steps. When spiked in serum samples, a recovery of 99.65 %-102.38 % can be obtained. Therefore, our method offers a potential tool for ultrasensitive quantification of diseases related microRNA in the point-of-care diseases diagnosis field.

Abstract
Breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer globally, and the metastasis of this malignancy is the primary cause of mortality in breast cancer patients. Hence, prompt diagnosis and timely detection of metastatic breast cancer are critical for effective therapeutic intervention. Both progression and metastasis of this malignancy are closely associated with aberrant expression of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) and enzymes. To facilitate breast cancer diagnosis and concomitant identification of metastatic breast cancer, we have engineered an innovative electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based sensing platform integrated with enzyme-free DNA amplification circuits for dual functionality. Specifically, microRNA-21 (miR-21) is employed as a biomarker for breast cancer, and miR-21 induces the quenching of the ECL signal from luminophores via a strategically designed catalytic three-hairpin assembly (CTHA) circuit. Subsequently, miR-105 levels are measured via toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions (TSDR). Here, miR-105 restores the initially quenched ECL signal, enabling the assessment of the metastatic propensity. Our experimental data demonstrate that the devised ECL biosensor offers broad linear detection ranges and low detection limits for both miR-21 and miR-105. Importantly, our novel platform was also successfully validated by using cellular and serum samples. This biosensor not only discriminates breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 from nonbreast cancer cells like HepG2, TPC-1, and HeLa, but it also distinguishes between malignant MCF-7 and metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells. Consequently, our novel approach holds significant promise for clinical applications and precise cancer screening.

Abstract
Herein, we reported an innovative thermodynamic allosteric switch-actuated 3D DNA nanomachine for selective, sensitive, and accurate electrochemical (EC)/fluorescent (FL) dual-mode biosensing of a microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). The thermodynamic allosteric switch was ingeniously customized as a hairpin probe (HP) that was in dynamic equilibrium but rapidly interconverting conformations. At the "inactive state", the MITF-binding region and the switch part were "sequestered". Upon the introduction of MITF, an MITF-HP complex promptly formed, and the equilibrium of HP thermodynamically inclined from the "inactive state" toward the "active state" conformation. Immediately, the exposed switch on HP effectively actuated the 3D DNA nanomachine and synchronously produced the restriction site for Nb.BbvCI nicking endonuclease. After the autonomous conveying of the 3D DNA nanomachine by means of the high-efficiency circularly nicking endonuclease signal amplification (NESA), not only was MB-S1 in the supernatant used for FL measurements but also MB-SP/MNs/S2 in the precipitate was adapted for EC analysis, significantly improving the utilization of output products derived from the 3D DNA nanomachine. Accordingly, benefiting from the efficient DNA nanomachine signal amplification manner and the self-calibration function of a dual-mode bioassay, the constructed biosensor exhibits superior sensitivity and accuracy for MITF determination.

Abstract
It is of great interest and necessity to develop a nonenzymatic, simple but highly sensitive biosensor for early diagnosis of oral cancer. Present here is an electrochemical DNA biosensor which integrates a target-triggered, entropy-driven, nonenzymatic and isothermal amplification strategy with gold nanoparticles/zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (AuNPs@ZIF-8) nanocomposites for ultra-sensitive detection of oral cancer-related biomarker (ORAOV 1) in saliva. It is worth noting that the nuclease is not involved in the whole reaction process, which is simple and flexible in design only using a series of linear single-stranded DNA, avoiding undesired secondary structure interference. Meanwhile, due to the synergistic effect of AuNPs and ZIF-8, AuNPs@ZIF-8 nanocomposites display high stability, excellent electrical conductivity and exceptional electrocatalytic activity, further enhancing the electrochemical signal and avoiding labeling electrochemical signal probes. Experimental results demonstrate that this electrochemical DNA biosensor has a wide linear range (1 fM ∼1 nM), a low limit of detection (163 aM), excellent specificity, superior reproducibility and stability to ORAOV 1. More importantly, the actual application of the newly developed electrochemical biosensor is exemplified in human saliva with satisfactory recoveries. Therefore, the newly developed electrochemical biosensor has a broad application prospect in the nondestructive and early screening of oral cancer.

[PMID: 38057049 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342026] [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: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Since microRNAs (miRNAs) are valuable biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, the pursuit of enhanced detection sensitivity through signal amplification strategies has emerged as a prominent focus in low-abundance miRNA detection research. DNA walkers, as dynamic DNA nanodevice, have gained significant attention for their applications as signal amplification strategies. To overcome the limitations of unipedal DNA walkers with a restricted signal amplification efficiency, there is a great need for multi-pedal DNA walkers that offer improved walking and signal amplification capabilities. Here, we employed a combination of catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and APE1 enzymatic cleavage reactions to construct a tripedal DNA walker, driving its movement to establish a cascade signal amplification system for the electrochemical detection of miRNA-155. The biosensor utilizes tumor cell-endogenous microRNA-155 and APE1 as dual-trigger for DNA walker formation and walking movement, leading to highly efficient and controllable signal amplification. The biosensor exhibited high sensitivity, with a low detection limit of 10 pM for microRNA-155, and successfully differentiated and selectively detected microRNA-155 from other interfering RNAs. Successful detection in 20 % serum samples indicates its potential clinical application. In addition, we harnessed strand displacement reactions to create a gentle yet efficient electrode regeneration strategy, to addresses the time-consuming challenges during electrode modification processes. We have successfully demonstrated the stability of current signals even after multiple cycles of electrode regeneration. This study showcased the high-efficiency amplification potential of multi-pedal DNA walkers and the effectiveness and versatility of strand displacement in biosensing applications. It opens a promising path for developing regenerable electrochemical biosensors. This regenerable strategy for electrochemical biosensors is both label-free and cost-effective, and holds promise for detecting various disease-related RNA targets beyond its current application.

Abstract
Metal ion contamination has serious impacts on environmental and biological health, so it is crucial to effectively monitor the levels of these metal ions. With the continuous progression of optoelectronic nanotechnology and biometrics, the emerging electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing technology has not only proven its simplicity, but also showcased its utility and remarkable sensitivity in engineered monitoring of residual heavy metal contaminants. This comprehensive review begins by introducing the composition, advantages, and detection principles of ECL biosensors, and delving into the engineered aspects. Furthermore, it explores two signal amplification methods: biometric element-based strategies (e.g., HCR, RCA, EDC, and CRISPR/Cas) and nanomaterial (NM)-based amplification, including quantum dots, metal nanoclusters, carbon-based nanomaterials, and porous nanomaterials. Ultimately, this review envisions future research trends and engineered technological enhancements of ECL biosensors to meet the surging demand for metal ion monitoring.

Abstract
The entropy-driven strategy has been proposed as a milestone work in the development of nucleic acid amplification technology. With the characteristics of an enzyme-free, isothermal, and relatively simple design, it has been widely used in the field of biological analysis. However, it is still a challenge to apply entropy-driven amplification for intracellular target analysis. In this study, a dual-entropy-driven amplification system constructed on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is developed to achieve fluorescence determination and intracellular imaging of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The dual-entropy-driven amplification strategy internalizes the fuel chain to avoid the complexity of the extra addition in the traditional entropy-driven amplification strategy. The unique self-locked fuel chain system is established by attaching the three-stranded structure on two groups of AuNPs, where the Cy5 fluorescent label was first quenched by AuNPs. After the target miRNA-21 is identified, the fuel chain will be automatically unlocked, and the cycle reaction will be driven, leading to fluorescence recovery. The self-powered and waste-recycled fuel chain greatly improves the automation and intelligence of the reaction process. Under the optimal conditions, the linear response range of the nanosensor ranges from 5 pM to 25 nM. This nanoreaction system can be used to realize intracellular imaging of miRNA-21, and its good specificity enables it to distinguish tumor cells from healthy cells. The development of the dual-entropy-driven strategy provides an integrated and powerful way for intracellular miRNA analysis and shows great potential in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) are widely used in the development of electrochemical biosensors due to their structural stability, programmability, and strong interfacial orderliness. However, the complex modifications on the electrode and the single vertex target recognition of the TDNs limit their applications in electrochemical biosensing. Herein, we developed a universal detection system based on a novel polyadenine-based tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (ATDN) using Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) as the model target for analysis. In the absence of target AFB1, the signal probes (SP) modified with ferrocene would be anchored by five aptamers on ATDN. The target capture by aptamers led to a release of SP from the electrode surface, resulting in a significant reduction of the electrochemical signal. This new nanostructure was not only dispensed with multi-step electrode modifications and strong mechanical rigidity but also had five modification sites which enhanced the detection sensitivity for the target. As a result, this biosensor shows good analytical performance in the linear range of 1 fg mL-1 to 1 ng mL-1, exhibiting a low detection limit of 0.33 fg mL-1. Satisfactory accuracy has also been demonstrated through good recoveries (95.2%-98.9%). The proposed new tetrahedral DNA nanostructure can provide a more rapid and sensitive alternative to previous electrochemical sensors based on the conventional TDN. Since DNA sequences can be designed flexibly, the sensing platform in this strategy can be extended to detect various targets in different fields.

An "off-on-off" type electrochemical biosensor for detecting multiple biomarkers with DNAzyme-mediated entropy-driven catalytic and DSN enzyme-assisted recycling amplification.

Abstract
In this work, an intelligent and versatile electrochemical biosensor was constructed to detect two types of biomarkers by utilizing "off-on-off" switching. Firstly, human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease1(APE1) mediated specific cleavage of the AP site, initiating activation DNAzyme and entropy-driven catalytic (EDC) reaction. Subsequently, large amounts of ferrocene labeled single-stranded DNA was released and captured with a remarkable electrochemical signal, achieving "off-on" state. In the presence of microRNA 21(miRNA-21), the DNA/RNA heteroduplexes were formed and cleaved by duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) with recovery the target miRNA-21, causing the current suppression in an "on-off" state. This sensor achieved highly sensitive detection of APE1 and miRNA-21 with a detection limit of 2.5 mU·mL-1 and 1.33 × 10-20 M, respectively, and also exhibited good selectivity, reproducibility and stability. Moreover, this proposed biosensor made it possible to realize analysis of multiple types of biomarkers on a single sensor, which improved utilization and analysis efficiency compared to traditional sensors. This study might open a new avenue to design multifunctional sensing platform for biological research and early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Here we develop robust noncovalent spherical nucleic acid enzymes (SNAzymes) for direct electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) related endogenous microRNAs in both circulating blood and cardiomyocytes, which circumvents the need for time-consuming signal amplification widely used in previous counterparts. It mainly relies on the super peroxidase-like activity of the designed noncovalent SNAzymes, promoted by a few nucleotides flanking on the 3'-terminals of common parallel G-quadruplexes (G4). For this reason, an unmodified G4 with an A5T30 head is well chosen and then attached robustly onto bare AuNPs via microwave-assisted heating-drying. A probe strand is meanwhile attached onto SNAzymes, enabling the target microRNA-triggered formation of a Y-shaped junction together with a capture strand tethered to a DNA tetrahedron on the electrode surface. The utilization of this tetrahedral nanoscaffold favors the ECL readout and thereby contributes to high sensitivity of the sensing platform. In this way, an AMI-related microRNA, miR-499, can be probed in a wide linear range, with a detection limit of 33 aM and high selectivity over other analogues. Furthermore, our developed sensing platform is employed to analyze endogenous miR-499 in AMI patients' blood, revealing an apparently higher level than the mean value of the healthy. What it means to patients, heart injury, is elucidated by comparing the miR-499 levels of cardiomyocytes and other tissue cells, with endogenous miR-16 as an intrinsic reference.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) has gained significant attention as a potential biomarker for cancer clinics, and there is an urgent need for developing sensing strategies with high selectivity, sensitivity, and low background. In vitro diagnosis based on Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-Associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) technology could simplify the detection procedure, improve sensitivity and selectivity, and has broad application prospects as the next-generation molecular diagnosis technology. We propose a novel dual signal amplification strategy, called CENTER, which integrates the CRISPR/Cas12a system, an entropy-driven DNA signaling network, and strand displacement amplification to achieve ultrasensitive detection of miR-141, a potential marker for prostate cancer. The experimental results demonstrate that CENTER can distinguish single nucleotide mutations, and the strategy exhibits a good linear calibration curve ranging from 100 aM to 1 pM. Due to dual signal amplification, the detection limit is as low as 34 aM. We proposed a method for identifying miR-141 expressed in human serum and successfully distinguished between prostate cancer patients (n = 20) and healthy individuals (n = 15) with an impressive accuracy of 94%. Overall, CENTER shows great promise for the detection of miRNA.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are closely associated with human disease occurrence, including cancers, diabetes, inflammation, heart diseases, and viral infections, and their rapid and accurate detection is vital for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Based on one-step reaction of strand displacement amplification (SDA) and primer exchange reaction (PER), a label-free and highly sensitive miRNA-21 detection strategy was developed. In this strategy, the target miRNA-21 binds directly to the hairpin template, triggering the SDA reaction and generating a large number of single strand DNAs as primers for PER amplification. With the help of polymerase, plenty of G-quadruplex fragments of different lengths were accumulated, and the organic dye thioflavin T selectively binds to these G-quadruplex fragments to produce a strong fluorescent signal. There is a wide detection range in this method, miRNA-21 can be detected in the range of 10 fM - 1 nM, the detection limit is low (1.25 fM). This method has good specificity and can effectively distinguish single-base mismatches of miRNA. In addition, the versatility of the method was validated by changing the target recognition site of SDA template.

Abstract
An electrochemical biosensor is reported for controlling CRISPR/Cas12a activity through the utilization of entropy-driven reactions, alongside the construction of a highly sensitive biosensor for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) detection. In the biosensor, entropy-driven reactions are employed to regulate the activity of CRISPR/Cas12a - a gene editing tool - capable of nonspecific cleavage of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The biosensor architecture encompasses an electrode that is modified with ssDNA probes designed to hybridize with target BNP aptamers. These aptamers, furnished with labeled ssDNA triggers, facilitate the activation of CRISPR/Cas12a through interaction with its guide RNA. Upon the presence of BNP, it associates with the aptamers, subsequently liberating the triggers that instigate the entropy-driven reactions. As a consequence of these reactions, more stable duplexes emerge between the triggers and guide RNA, thereby activating CRISPR/Cas12a. The activated CRISPR/Cas12a subsequently executes cleavage of ssDNA probes residing on the electrode surface, culminating in the generation of an electrochemical signal directly (the calibration plots of differential pulse voltammetric detection were acquired at a working potential of 0.2 V (vs. ref. electrode)) proportional to the BNP concentration. Validation of the biosensor's performance is undertaken, wherein BNP detection is demonstrated in both buffer and human serum samples. Evident in the findings is the biosensor's discernible sensitivity and specificity for BNP detection, exemplified by a detection limit of 13.53 fM and a lack of interference originating from other cardiac biomarkers, respectively. Furthermore, the biosensor's potential to discriminate between healthy individuals and those afflicted by heart failure, predicated on distinctive BNP levels, is illustrated.

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.

Electrochemical biosensor strategy combining DNA entropy-driven technology to activate CRISPR-Cas13a activity and triple-stranded nucleic acids to detect SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:272. [PMID: 37351704 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-05848-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
By merging DNA entropy-driven technology with triple-stranded nucleic acids in an electrochemical biosensor to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene, we tackled the challenges of false negatives and the high cost of SARS-CoV-2 detection. The approach generates a CRISPR-Cas 13a-activated RNA activator, which then stimulates CRISPR-Cas 13a activity using an entropy-driven mechanism. The activated CRISPR-Cas 13a can cleave Hoogsteen DNA due to the insertion of two uracil (-U-U-) in Hoogsteen DNA. The DNA tetrahedra changed on the electrode surface and can therefore not construct a three-stranded structure after cleaving Hoogsteen DNA. Significantly, this DNA tetrahedron/Hoogsteen DNA-based biosensor can regenerate at pH = 10.0, which keeps Hoogsteen DNA away from the electrode surface, allowing the biosensor to function at pH = 7.0. We could use this technique to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection limit of 89.86 aM. Furthermore, the detection method is very stable and repeatable. This technique offers the prospect of detecting SARS-CoV-2 at a reasonable cost. This work has potential applications in the dynamic assessment of the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 infection and in the screening of environmental samples.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) have become promising electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters with high quantum yield and size-tunable luminescence. However, most QDs generate strong ECL emission at the cathode, developing anodic ECL-emitting QDs with excellent performance is challenging. In this work, low-toxic quaternary AgInZnS QDs synthesized by a one-step aqueous phase method were used as novel anodic ECL emitters. AgInZnS QDs exhibited strong and stable ECL emission and a low excitation potential, which could avoid the side reaction of oxygen evolution. Furthermore, AgInZnS QDs displayed high ECL efficiency (ΦECL) of 5.84, taking the ΦECL of Ru(bpy)32+/tripropylamine (TPrA) ECL system as 1. Compared to AgInS2 QDs without Zn doping and traditional anode luminescent CdTe QDs, the ECL intensity of AgInZnS QDs was 1.62 times and 3.64 times higher than that of AgInS2 QDs and CdTe QDs, respectively. As a proof-of-concept, we further designed an "on-off-on" ECL biosensor for detecting microRNA-141 based on a dual isothermal enzyme-free strand displacement reaction (SDR), which not only to achieve the cyclic amplification of the target and ECL signal, but also to construct a switch of the biosensor. The ECL biosensor had a wide linear range from 100 aM to 10 nM with a low detection limit of 33.3 aM. Together, the constructed ECL sensing platform is a promising tool for rapid and accurate diagnosis of clinical diseases.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is rampant all over the world, and rapid and effective virus detection is the best auxiliary to curb the spread of the epidemic. A diagnosis can only be made if two or more different nucleic acid sequences are confirmed at the same time, and in most of traditional detection technologies, these target sequences have been detected separately. In this work, an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensor employing a single ECL probe as signal output and responding to dual-target simultaneously is proposed for the first time. Taking the two sequences located in ORF 1ab region and N region of SARS-CoV-2 gene sequence as the model target and nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (CDs) as ECL beacon, supplemented with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction for signal amplification, the presented strategy has been successfully applied to the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2. The developed SARS-CoV-2 biosensor based on the series CHA systems can realize the quantitative determination of SARS-CoV-2 in the range of 50 fM to 200 pM within 40 min. Moreover, the clinical validity of this method has been verified by the high consistency between the detection results of using this method and those using RT-qPCR for seven clinical pharyngeal swab samples.

Abstract
Early and accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can significantly reduce patient mortality. A variety of miRNAs are found to dysregulate in AMI patients, but the up- or down-regulation of a specific miRNA may not be evident in the early stage, making it difficult to achieve accurate diagnosis. Here, proposing the design that DNA photonic wire (PW) with no spectral crosstalk would make an excellent template for miRNA conjoint analysis, we report the construction of a miRNA addition probe for the additive analysis of two up-regulated miRNAs (miR-133a and miR-208a) for early diagnosis of AMI in clinical serum samples. A three-dye non-crosstalk DNA PW is built to form the two-step fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) cascade system, in which three paths can blocking the FRET cascade for separate or additive analysis of the two miRNAs. K-Means clustering algorithm is further utilized to classify the output signals of the miRNA addition probe, achieving a 100% accurate diagnosis of early AMI in both the training (n = 40) and validation (n = 19) cohorts of clinical serum samples.

Abstract
This work conveys a new philosophy of surface self-coordination mediated trap remediation for innovative cathodic photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal transduction. Initially, the surface trap states of CuBi2O4 nanopolyhedra resulting from dangling bonds can function as charge carrier recombination centers, which suppress the carrier separation efficiency and result in a low photocurrent output. Particularly, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) spontaneously interacts with the uncoordinated Cu(II) on the surface of CuBi2O4, enabling efficient elimination of dangling bonds and remedy of trap states, thereby outputting intensified photocurrent readout. Exemplified by Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) as a model target, a tetrahedron DNA (THD)-based strand displacement amplification (SDA) was introduced to manipulate the formation of hemin impregnated G-quadruplex (G-quadruplex/hemin) DNAzyme and the resultant catalytic reduction for H2O2. In addition, a highly efficient and ultra-sensitive PEC sensing platform was achieved for FEN1 detection with a wide linear range from 1.0 fM to 100.0 pM and a detection limit of 0.3 fM (S/N = 3). This work not only establishes a new idea of cathodic PEC signal transduction, but also offers an efficient biosensing platform for FEN1.

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
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is regarded as a promising broad spectrum tumor biomarker for clinical diagnosis, progression, and prognosis. Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) was considered as one of the powerful tools for immunoassay with advantages of label-free, real-time detection with high-throughput. Herein, wavy gold-silver alloy nanoplates functionalized with anti-CEA antibodies providing high protein loading capacity and high mass are used as signal enhancers for CEA detection through SPRi sandwich assay. The present method exhibits a dynamic range for CEA determination from 0.1 to 312.5 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 0.55 ng mL-1, well below normal physiological levels. This biosensing approach demonstrates the advantages of wavy gold-silver alloy nanoplates compared to conventional gold nanoparticles as a signal amplifier to enhance the SPRi signal, which is expected to become a new prospect for detection of cancer markers in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous noncoding RNAs with the functions of gene regulation, which serve as promising markers for a range of diseases such as diabetic foot ulcers, cancers, etc. In this work, we engineered a roll-to-roll DNA nanomachine for highly sensitive electrochemical detection of miRNA. A dumbbell-structured DNA probe could be transitioned to be wheel-structured conformation upon target recognition, which rolls around track strands on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the presence of nicking endonuclease. The resulting single strands on AuNPs are activated for the second round of rolling at the DNA-modified electrode interface, leading to the variation of electrochemical responses. The roll-to-roll amplification behavior allows a wide detection range with a limit of detection as low as 10 aM. The practicability is also demonstrated by the application in human serum samples with satisfactory results. It is expected that the proposed electrochemical method offers a new paradigm to develop miRNA assays based on DNA nanotechnology.

Abstract
Rapid parallel detection of multi-targets has always been an exploration aim in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays. Herein, a multifunctional nanocomposite of Zr metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) @PEI@AuAg nanoclusters (NCs) with intense and stable dual-wavelength ECL was synthesized for the first time, and used to construct a new ECL biosensor for rapid simultaneous detection of dual targets. Notably, the novel ECL emitter Zr MOFs with high-performance was not only integrated with a co-reactant polyethyleneimine (PEI) to form a unique intramolecular self-enhancing structure, but also loaded a large number of another ECL emitter AuAg NCs, furthermore, AuAg NCs with superior electron transfer property can much enhance the electrical conductivity of the composites, thus achieving the goal of "killing three birds with one stone". Moreover, a unique stable and rigid three-dimensional DNA tetrahedron (TDN) structure was connected with two quenching probes BHQ1 and BHQ3 and immobilized on the composites-modified electrode, so ECL emission of the nanocomposites at two wavelengths of 535 nm and 644 nm were both quenched by resonance energy transfer (RET). In the presence of target miRNAs, the efficient DNA cycling double-amplification processes were performed by using exonuclease (T7 Exo) combined with DNA Walker, thus both quenching groups were separated to restore the ECL at two wavelengths, achieving simultaneous and rapid ECL detection of two miRNAs. Therefore, this present work not only opens a unique nanocomplex with dual wavelength ECL and self-enhancing performance, but also develops a highly sensitive ECL biosensor with promising value for rapid multi-target analysis in clinical fields.

Abstract
Achieving rapid and highly sensitive detection of biomarkers is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment. Here, a highly sensitive and versatile dual-amplification electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing platform was constructed for target detection based on DNA nanostructures and catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA). Specifically, when the target DNA was present, it would hybridize with the auxiliary strands (D1 and D2) to form an I-shaped nanostructure, which in turn triggered the subsequent catalytic hairpin assembly reaction to generate plenty of double-stranded DNA complexes (H1-H2). The resulting double-stranded complex could be trapped on the electrode surface and adsorbed the ECL signal probe Ru(phen)32+.We found that the I-shaped nanostructure-triggered CHA reaction had higher amplification efficiency compared with traditional CHA amplification. Thus, a sensitive "signal-on" ECL biosensor was constructed for target DNA detection with a detection limit of 1.09 fM. Additionally, by combining the binding properties of C-Ag+-C with an elaborately designed "Ag+-helper" probe, the proposed strategy could be immediately utilized for the highly sensitive and selective detection of silver ions, demonstrating the versatility of the developed biosensing platform. This strategy provided a new approach with potential applications in disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Herein, a highly efficient electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitter, luminol/MoS2 quantum dots@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Lu/MoS2 QDs@ZIF-8), with a positive charge was prepared to construct a novel luminol-H2O2-MoS2 QD ternary ECL system for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The porous Lu/MoS2 QDs@ZIF-8 was beneficial for reducing the accessible distance between various participants in the ternary system wherein co-reaction accelerator MoS2 QDs promoted H2O2 to generate superoxide anion radicals (O2•-), which instantaneously reacted with luminol to produce robust ECL signals. Simultaneously, the positively charged Lu/MoS2 QDs@ZIF-8 facilitated the enrichment of O2•- to further improve the ECL efficiency of luminol. Impressively, compared with the traditional binary luminol-H2O2 system, the ECL efficiency of this ternary system was increased by 12.7 times. In the aid of a target-cycled and endogenous adenosine triphosphate-driven signal amplification strategy, the biosensor with Lu/MoS2 QDs@ZIF-8 as an ECL emitter achieved ultrasensitive detection for miRNA-21 with a detection limit of 14.6 aM. This work provides a promising perspective to construct a highly efficient ECL ternary system for biomolecule detection and potential disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The use of DNA-based nanostructures as probes has led to significant advances in chemical and biological sensing, allowing the detection of analytes in complex media, the understanding of fundamental biological processes, and the ability to diagnose diseases based on molecular signatures. The utility of these structures arises both from DNA's inherent ability to selectively recognize and bind a variety of chemical species and from the unique properties observed when DNA is restructured at the nanoscale. In this Minireview, we chronicle the most commonly used signal transduction strategies that have been interfaced with various DNA-based nanostructures. We discuss the types of analytes and the detection scenarios that are sought after, delineate the advantages and disadvantages of each signaling strategy, and outline the key considerations that guide the selection of each signaling method.

Abstract
In this work, a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) designed with multiple biomolecular recognition domains (m-TDN) was assembled to construct an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor for the quantitative detection of tumor-associated mucin 1 (MUC-1) protein. This new nanostructure not only effectively increased the capture efficiency of target proteins compared to the traditional TDN with a single recognition domain but also enhanced the sensitivity of the constructed electrochemical biosensors. Once the target MUC-1 was captured by the protein aptamers, the ferrocene-marked DNA strands as electrochemical signal probes at the vertices of m-TDN would be released away from the electrode surface, causing significant reduction of the electrochemical signal, thereby enhancing significantly the detection sensitivity. As a result, this well-designed biosensor achieved ultrasensitive detection of the biomolecule at a linear range from 1 fg mL-1 to 1 ng mL-1, with the limit of detection down to 0.31 fg mL-1. This strategy provides a new approach to enhance the detection sensitivity for the diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Strategies for functionalizing diverse tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have been extensively explored since the first successful fabrication of tFNA by Turberfield. One-pot annealing of at least four DNA single strands is the most common method to prepare tFNA, as it optimizes the cost, yield, and speed of assembly. Herein, the focus is on four key merits of tFNAs and their potential for biomedical applications. The natural ability of tFNA to scavenge reactive oxygen species, along with remarkable enhancement in cellular endocytosis and tissue permeability based on its appropriate size and geometry, promotes cell-material interactions to direct or probe cell behavior, especially to treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Moreover, the structural programmability of tFNA enables the development of static tFNA-based nanomaterials via engineering of functional oligonucleotides or therapeutic molecules, and dynamic tFNAs via attachment of stimuli-responsive DNA apparatuses, leading to potential applications in targeted therapies, tissue regeneration, antitumor strategies, and antibacterial treatment. Although there are impressive performance and significant progress, the challenges and prospects of functionalizing tFNA-based nanostructures are still indicated in this review.
