Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) remains a significant area of research since it's discovery 50 years ago. The surface-based technique has been used in a wide variety of fields, most prominently in chemical detection, cellular imaging and medical diagnostics, offering high sensitivity and specificity when probing and quantifying a chosen analyte or monitoring nanoparticle uptake and accumulation. However, despite its promise, SERS is mostly confined to academic laboratories and is not recognised as a gold standard analytical technique. This is due to the variations that are observed in SERS measurements, mainly caused by poorly characterised SERS substrates, lack of universal calibration methods and uncorrelated results. To convince the wider scientific community that SERS should be a routinely used analytical technique, the field is now focusing on methods that will increase the reproducibility of the SERS signals and how to validate the results with more well-established techniques. This review explores the difficulties experienced by SERS users, the methods adopted to reduce variation and suggestions of best practices and strategies that should be adopted if one is to achieve absolute quantification.

Abstract
While numerous methods exist for diagnosing tumors through the detection of miRNA within tumor cells, few can simultaneously achieve both tumor diagnosis and treatment. In this study, a novel graphene oxide (GO)-based DNA nanodevice (DND), initiated by miRNA, was developed for fluorescence signal amplification imaging and photodynamic therapy in tumor cells. After entering the cells, tumor-associated miRNA drives DND to Catalyzed hairpin self-assembly (CHA). The CHA reaction generated a multitude of DNA Y-type structures, resulting in a substantial amplification of Ce6 fluorescence release and the generation of numerous singlet oxygen (1O2) species induced by laser irradiation, consequently inducing cell apoptosis. In solution, DND exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity to miRNA-21, with a detection limit of 11.47 pM. Furthermore, DND discriminated between normal and tumor cells via fluorescence imaging and specifically generated O21 species in tumor cells upon laser irradiation, resulting in tumor cells apoptosis. The DND offer a new approach for the early diagnosis and timely treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
As an emerging nanoprobe, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags hold significant promise in sensing and bioimaging applications due to their attractive merits of anti-photobleaching ability, high sensitivity and specificity, multiplex, and low background capabilities. Recently, several reviews have proposed the application of SERS tags in different fields, however, the specific sensing strategies of SERS tags-based sensors for cellular molecules have not yet been systematically summarized. To provide beneficial and comprehensive insights into the advanced SERS tags technique at the cellular level, this review systematically elaborated on the latest advances in SERS tags-based sensors for cellular molecules detection and imaging. The general SERS tags-based sensing strategies for biomolecules and ions were first introduced according to molecular classes. Then, aiming at such molecules located in the extracellular, cellular membrane and intracellular regions, the tailored strategies by designing and manipulating SERS tags were summarized and explored through several key examples. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of developing high performance of advanced SERS tags were briefly discussed to provide effective guidance for further development and extended applications.

Abstract
An ortho-nitrobenzyl phosphate ester-caged nucleic acid hairpin structure coupled to the CRISPR-Cas12a complex is introduced as a functional reaction module for the light-induced activation of the CRISPR-Cas12a (LAC12a) machinery toward the amplified fluorescence detection of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The LAC12a machinery is applied for the selective, in vitro sensing of miRNA-21 and for the intracellular imaging of miRNA-21 in different cell lines. The LAC12a system is used to image miRNA-21 in different cell cycle phases of MCF-7 cells. Moreover, the LAC12a machinery integrated in cells enables the two-photon laser confocal microscopy-assisted, light-stimulated spatiotemporal, selective activation of the CRISPR-Cas12a miRNA-21 imaging machinery at the single-cell level and the evaluation of relative expression levels of miRNA-21 at distinct cell cycle phases. The method is implemented to map the distribution of cell cycle phases in an array of single cells.

Abstract
While designing anisotropic noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) can enhance the signal intensity of Raman dyes, more sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes can be designed by oriented self-assembly of noble metal nanomaterials into dimers or higher-order nanoclusters. In this study, we engineered a self-assembly strategy in living cells for real-time fluorescence and SERS dual-channel detection of intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs), using Mg2+-dependent 8-17E DNAzyme sequences as the driving motors, gold nanocubes (AuNCs) as the driver components, and three-branched double-stranded DNA as the linking tool. The assembly selects adenine in DNA as a reporter molecule, simplifying the labeling process of Raman reporter molecules and reducing the synthesis process. In addition, adenine is stably distributed between the faces of AuNCs and the wide hotspot region gives good reproducibility of the adenine SERS signal. In this strategy, the SERS channel was consistently stable and more sensitive compared to the fluorescence channel. Among them, the detection limit of the SERS channel was 2.1 pM and the coefficient of variation was 1.26% in the in vitro liquid phase and 1.49% in MCF-7 cells. The strategy successfully achieved accurate tracking and quantification of miRNA-21 in cancer cells, showing good reproducibility in complex samples as well as cells. The reported strategy provides ideas for exploring intracellular specific triggering of nanoparticles for precise control of self-assembly.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) as an analytical technology with a perfect combination of electrochemistry and spectroscopy has received considerable attention in bioanalysis due to its high sensitivity and broad dynamic range. Given the selectivity of bio-recognition elements and the high sensitivity of the ECL analysis technique, ECL biosensors are powerful platforms for the sensitive detection of biomarkers, achieving the accurate prognosis and diagnosis of diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial biomarkers involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, whose aberrant expression is often related to serious diseases, especially cancers. ECL biosensors can fulfill the highly sensitive and selective requirements for accurate miRNA detection, prompting this review. The ECL mechanisms are initially introduced and subsequently categorize the ECL biosensors for miRNA detection in terms of the quenching agents. Furthermore, the work highlights the signal amplification strategies for enhancing ECL signal to improve the sensitivity of miRNA detection and finally concludes by looking at the challenges and opportunities in ECL biosensors for miRNA detection.

Abstract
Genomic biomarkers of cancer are based on changes in nucleic acids, which include abnormal expression levels of some miRNAs, point mutations in DNA sequences, and altered levels of DNA methylation. The presence of tumor-related nucleic acids in body fluids (blood, saliva, or urine) makes it possible to achieve a non-invasive early-stage cancer diagnosis. Currently existing techniques for the discovery of nucleic acids require complex, time-consuming, costly assays and have limited multiplexing abilities. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopy technique that is able to provide molecular specificity combined with trace sensitivity. SERS has gained research attention as a tool for the detection of nucleic acids because of its promising potential: label-free SERS can decrease the complexity of assays currently used with fluorescence-based detection due to the absence of the label, while labeled SERS may outperform the gold standard in terms of the multiplexing ability. The first papers about SERS-based methods for the measurement of genomic biomarkers were written in 2008, and since then, more than 150 papers have been published. The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate the proposed SERS-based methods in terms of their level of development and their potential for liquid biopsy application, as well as to contribute to their further evolution by attracting research attention to the field. This goal will be reached by grouping, on the basis of their experimental protocol, all the published manuscripts on the topic and evaluating each group in terms of its limit of detection and applicability to real body fluids. Thus, the methods are classified according to their working principles into five main groups, including capture-based, displacement-based, sandwich-based, enzyme-assisted, and specialized protocols.

Abstract
Cancers remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is crucial to detect cancer at an early stage for improving survival rates. Biomarkers have precise implications for cancer progression. Here, we built a straightforward DNA probe system that could be activated by near-infrared light to detect dual miRNAs with a high specificity. This probe is built on the basis of upconversion nanoparticles, which could emit ultraviolet light and activate DNA probes adsorbed on the outer layer. The DNA probe system is remotely controlled through manipulation of the near-infrared (NIR) light, enabling simultaneous detection of dual miRNAs. The DNA nanosystem could be effectively endocytosed by cancer cells and reflect expression levels of dual miRNAs. Overall, this study demonstrates a promising remote-controlled DNA nanoplatform for the simultaneous detection of dual miRNAs, which has tremendous potential for precise cancer diagnostics and therapies.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate methods for early detection of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are essential for timely treatment and prognostic assessment of patients. In this study, we report a microfluidics-based ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay device for the quantitative determination of multiplex biomarkers in AIS. By preparing 5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) antibody-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on SERS devices as SERS probes, the biomarkers in whole blood of AIS were accurately captured and further visualized for SERS signal intensity quantitative analysis of six biomarkers in the blood samples. It is worth mentioning that the limit of detection (LOD) of the method can reach the level of fg/mL, with excellent sensitivity and selectivity. Meanwhile, the analytical comparison with ELISA method showed that the detection results of both methods were consistent, which verified the feasibility of the assembled device. The SERS immunoassay device detection provides a powerful strategy for the prediction, early diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of prognosis of AIS with a wide range of clinical practice prospects.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules, typically 21-22 nucleotides in size, which play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in most eukaryotes. Their significance in various biological processes and disease pathogenesis has led to considerable interest in their potential as biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic applications. In this study, a novel method for sensing target miRNAs using Tailed-Hoogsteen triplex DNA-encapsulated Silver Nanoclusters (DNA/AgNCs) is introduced. Upon hybridization of a miRNA with the tail, the Tailed-Hoogsteen triplex DNA/AgNCs exhibit a pronounced red fluorescence, effectively turning on the signal. It is successfully demonstrated that this miRNA sensor not only recognized target miRNAs in total RNA extracted from cells but also visualized target miRNAs when introduced into live cells, highlighting the advantages of the turn-on mechanism. Furthermore, through gel-fluorescence assays and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis, the turn-on mechanism is elucidated, revealing that the Tailed-Hoogsteen triplex DNA/AgNCs undergo a structural transition from a monomer to a dimer upon sensing the target miRNA. Overall, the findings suggest that Tailed-Hoogsteen triplex DNA/AgNCs hold great promise as practical sensors for small RNAs in both in vitro and cell imaging applications.

Abstract
Bioimaging is widely used in various fields of modern medicine. Fluorescence imaging has the advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, noninvasiveness, in situ imaging, and so on. However, one-photon (OP) fluorescence imaging has problems, such as low tissue penetration depth and low spatiotemporal resolution. These disadvantages can be solved by two-photon (TP) fluorescence imaging. However, TP imaging still uses fluorescence intensity as a signal. The complexity of organisms will inevitably affect the change of fluorescence intensity, cause false-positive signals, and affect the accuracy of the results obtained. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is different from other kinds of fluorescence imaging, which is an intrinsic property of the material and independent of the material concentration and fluorescence intensity. FLIM can effectively avoid the fluctuation of TP imaging based on fluorescence intensity and the interference of autofluorescence. Therefore, based on silica-coated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@SiO2) combined with nucleic acid probes, the dual-mode nanoprobe platform was constructed for TP and FLIM imaging of intracellular endogenous miRNA-21 for the first time. First, the dual-mode nanoprobe used a dual fluorescence quencher of BHQ2 and graphene oxide (GO), which has a high signal-to-noise ratio and anti-interference. Second, the dual-mode nanoprobe can detect miR-21 with high sensitivity and selectivity in vitro, with a detection limit of 0.91 nM. Finally, the dual-mode nanoprobes performed satisfactory TP fluorescence imaging (330.0 μm penetration depth) and FLIM (τave = 50.0 ns) of endogenous miR-21 in living cells and tissues. The dual-mode platforms have promising applications in miRNA-based early detection and therapy and hold much promise for improving clinical efficacy.

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.

Abstract
Accurate cancer diagnosis especially early diagnosis is of great importance for prompt therapy and elevated survival rate. mRNAs are widely used as biomarkers for cancer identification and treatment. mRNA expression levels are highly associated with cancer stage and malignant progression. Nevertheless, single type mRNA detection is insufficient and unreliable. Herein, we developed a DNA nano-windmill probe for in situ multiplexed mRNAs detection and imaging in this paper. The probe is designed to simultaneously target four types of mRNA through wind blades. Importantly, recognition of targets is independent from each other, which further facilitate cell type discrimination. The probe can specifically distinguish cancer cell lines from normal cells. In addition, it can identify changes in mRNA expression levels in living cells. The current strategy enriches the toolbox for improving the accuracy of cancer diagnosis and therapeutic solutions.

Abstract
The abnormal change in the expression profile of multiple cancer biomarkers is closely related to tumor progression and therapeutic effect. Due to their low abundance in living cells and the limitations of existing imaging techniques, simultaneous imaging of multiple cancer biomarkers has remained a significant challenge. Here, we proposed a multi-modal imaging strategy to detect the correlated expression of multiple cancer biomarkers, MUC1, microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) and reactive oxygen (ROS) in living cells, based on a porous covalent organic framework (COF) wrapped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) core-shell nanoprobe. The nanoprobe is functionalized with Cy5-labeled MUC1 aptamer, a ROS-responsive molecule (2-MHQ), and a miRNA-21-response hairpin DNA tagged by FITC as the reporters for different biomarkers. The target-specific recognition can induce the orthogonal molecular change of these reporters, producing fluorescence and Raman signals for imaging the expression profiles of membrane MUC1 (red fluorescence channel), intracellular miRNA-21 (green fluorescence channel), and intracellular ROS (SERS channel). We further demonstrate the capability of the cooperative expression of these biomarkers, along with the activation of NF-κB pathway. Our research provides a robust platform for imaging multiple cancer biomarkers, with broad potential applications in cancer clinical diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
The development of nanotechnology has transformed many cutting-edge studies related to single-molecule analysis into nanoparticle (NP) detection with a single-NP sensitivity and ultrahigh resolution. While laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been successful in quantifying and tracking NPs, its quantitative calibration remains a major challenge due to the lack of suitable standards and the uncertain matrix effects. Herein, we frame a new approach to prepare quantitative standards via precise synthesis of NPs, nanoscale characterization, on-demand NP distribution, and deep learning-assisted NP counting. Gold NP standards were prepared to cover the mass range from sub-femtogram to picogram levels with sufficient accuracy and precision, thus establishing an unambiguous relationship between the sampled NP number in each ablation and the corresponding mass spectral signal. Our strategy facilitated for the first time the study of the factors affecting particulate sample capture and signal transductions in LA-ICP-MS analysis and culminated in the development of an LA-ICP-MS-based method for absolute NP quantification with single-NP sensitivity and single-cell quantification capability. The achievements would herald the emergence of new frontiers cut across a spectrum of toxicological and diagnostic issues related to NP quantification.

Abstract
Accurate quantitative, in situ and temporal tracking imaging of tumor-associated miRNAs in living cells could provide a basis for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this strategy, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-fluorescence (FL) dual-spectral sensor (DSS) was constructed based on the nanoscale photophysical properties of AuNPs, mediated by functionalized DNA, to achieve rapid imaging of FL and accurate SERS quantification of intracellular miRNAs. The dual-spectrum sensor in the strategy is highly sensitive, specific and reproducibly stable. The LOD values of the dual spectra were 3.58 pM (SERS) as well as 11.8 pM (FL) with RSD values less than 2.69%. The bispectral sensor self-assembled into a trimer by the lapidation of Y-type DNA under the excitation of the target, generating a stable enhanced electric field coupling; and selected adenine located in the enhanced electric field as the reporter molecule, simplifying the labeling process and variables of the Raman reporter molecule, distinguishing it from other traditional methods. This strategy successfully achieved accurate tracking and quantification of miR-21 in cancer cells and showed good stability in the cells. The reported probes are potential tools for reliable monitoring of biomolecular dynamics in living cells.

Self-assembly of DNA-hyperbranched aggregates catalyzed by a dual-targets recognition probe for miRNAs SERS detection in single cells. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 222:114997. [PMID: 36516629 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are very important for the early diagnosis and prognosis of tumors. In this work, we achieved the simultaneous detection of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and microRNA-21 (miR-21) with a dual target recognition probe (DRP) based on the nonlinear hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The multi-branched DNA products, three-dimensional multi-hotspot DNA dendrimers (3DmhD) were used in the amplification of the target miRNAs signal. The DRP is constructed with a core of gold nanocages (AuNCs), modified by nucleic acid probes and labeled with Raman signaling molecules ROX and Cy3. Experiments demonstrated that DRP could activate the multi-branched DNA reaction and generate 3DmhD in the presence of miR-155 and miR-21, which can achieve effective amplification of miR-21 and miR-155. When Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) analysis was performed on 3DmhD, the multi-hot spot effect of 3DmhD significantly enhanced the signals of ROX and Cy3, allowing ultra-sensitive detection of miR-21 and miR-155 in vitro. To our delight, DRP also exhibited sensitive specificity and significant signal amplification for intracellular miRNAs. These results revealed that DRP has the potential to screen tumor cells by analyzing the expression levels of intracellular miRNAs.

Abstract
ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered significant indicators of cell apoptosis. However, visualizing the interplay between apoptosis-related ATP and ROS is challenging. Herein, we developed a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanoprobe for an apoptosis assay using duplex imaging of cellular ATP and ROS. The nanoprobe was fabricated through controlled encapsulation of gold nanorods with a thin zirconium-based MOF layer, followed by modification of the ROS-responsive molecules 2-mercaptohydroquinone and 6-carboxyfluorescein-labeled ATP aptamer. The nanoprobe enables ATP and ROS visualization via fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, respectively, avoiding the mutual interference that often occurs in single-mode methods. Moreover, the dual-modal assay effectively showed dynamic imaging of ATP and ROS in cancer cells treated with various drugs, revealing their apoptosis-related pathways and interactions that differ from those under normal conditions. This study provides a method for studying the relationship between energy metabolism and redox homeostasis in cell apoptosis processes.

Abstract
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is of vital importance to the progression and prognosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The construction of a simple, sensitive, and accurate detection assay for measuring the biomarkers associated with BBB injury is still an urgent need owing to the complex pathogenesis of SAH and low expression levels of pathological molecules. Herein, we introduced surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) label-embedded Fe3O4@Au core-shell nanoparticles as ideal SERS sensors for quantitative double detection of MMP-9 and occludin in SAH patients. Meanwhile, utilizing the SERS signals to dynamically estimate MMP-9 and occludin concentration in the rat SAH model is the first application in exploring the relationship of pathological MMP-9 and occludin molecular levels with neurobehavioral score. This method warrants reliable detection toward MMP-9 and occludin with a wide recognition range and a low detection limit in blood samples. Furthermore, the results monitored by the SERS assay exactly matched with those obtained through a traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The aforementioned results demonstrated this novel biosensor strategy has extensive application prospects in the quantitative measurement of multiple types of biomolecules in body fluid samples.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Point-of-care (POC) platforms utilizing optical biosensing strategies can achieve on-site detection of biomarkers to improve the quality of care for patients in low-resource settings. AIM We aimed to develop a portable, multi-modal spectroscopic platform capable of performing Raman and fluorescence measurements from a single sample site. APPROACH We designed the spectroscopic platform in OpticStudio using commercial optical components and built the system on a portable optical breadboard. Two excitation and collection arms were utilized to detect the two optical signals. The multi-modal functionality was validated using ratiometric Raman/fluorescence samples, and the potential utility was demonstrated using a model bioassay for cardiac troponin I. RESULTS The designed spectroscopic platform achieved a spectral resolution of 0.67 ± 0.2 nm across the Raman detection range (660 to 770 nm). The ratiometric Raman/fluorescence samples demonstrated no crosstalk between the two detector arms across a gradient of high molar concentrations. Testing of the model bioassay response showed that the integrated approach improved the linearity of the calibration curve from (R2 = 0.977) for the Raman only and (R2 = 0.972) for the fluorescence only to (R2 = 0.988) for the multi-modal approach. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate the potential impact of a multi-modal POC spectroscopic platform to improve the sensitivity and robustness necessary for biomarker detection.

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on an enzyme-free nucleic acid dual-amplification strategy combined with a mimic enzyme to catalyze the deposition of a quencher is reported for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-21. A limited amount of target miRNA-21 can trigger the formation of long DNA duplexes on the electrode, owing to the synergistic effect of the enzyme-free nucleic acid dual-amplification strategy of entropy-driven strand displacement reaction (ESDR) amplification and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification. The embedded manganese porphyrin (MnPP) in the long DNA duplexes acts as a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking enzyme to catalyze the transformation of benzo-4-chlorohexadienone on the electrode surface, resulting in a significant reduction in photocurrent intensity. As a photosensitive material, BiOCl-BiOI is used as a tag to provide strong initial PEC signals. Based on the cascade integration of the enzyme-free nucleic acid dual-amplification strategy and the mimic enzyme-catalyzed precipitation reaction, the current PEC biosensor exhibits outstanding performance for miRNA-21 detection with an ultralow detection limit (33 aM) and a wide quantification range (from 100 aM to 1 nM). This work provides a new avenue toward the ultrasensitive detection of miRNAs, and is expected to be used for clinical and biochemical samples. A unique PEC biosensor with the BiOCl-BiOI composite, as the photosensitive material, has been developed for ultrasensitive miRNA-21 determination based on the combination of an enzyme-free nucleic acid dual-amplification strategy and mimic enzyme catalytic precipitation reaction.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive therapy of cancer with spatial and temporal control is crucial in improving the treatment efficacy and minimizing the side effects. MicroRNA (miRNA) as an important biomarker has become one of the most promising endogenous stimuli for cancer therapy. However, the therapy efficacy is often impeded by the low expression amount of miRNA. Herein, the upconversion nanoparticle@Au (UCNP@Au) core-satellite nanostructures are rationally fabricated for isothermal amplification detection and in situ imaging of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in living cells based on the toehold-mediated strand displacement (TMSD) reaction, which is further applied to miRNA-responsive combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy of breast cancer. The UCNP@Au are constructed by linking AuNPs to photosensitizers Rose Bengal (RB)-loaded UCNPs through DNA hybridization. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) is quenched by AuNPs, resulting in the attenuation of singlet oxygen generation of RB. Once UCNP@Au are internalized into MCF-7 cells, the overexpressed intracellular miR-21 trigger the cyclic disassembly of UCNP@Au through cascade TMSD reactions, which facilitate the restoration of UCL for in situ imaging of miR-21 with signal amplification. Moreover, the released AuNPs are aggregated for photothermal therapy (PTT), while the singlet oxygen generated by RB is enhanced for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Compared with single-mode therapy, the miRNA-activated combinational phototherapy has demonstrated a greatly improved therapeutic efficacy for breast cancer. Therefore, our proposed core-satellite nanostructures cannot only achieve in situ amplified imaging of endogenous miRNA but also provide an effective nanoplatform for stimuli-responsive combinational phototherapy, which hold great prospects in early diagnosis and treatment of cancers.

Abstract
Investigating multiple miRNA expression patterns in living cells by DNA logic biocomputing is a valuable strategy for diagnosis and biomedical studies. The introduction of protein enzymes in DNA logic biocomputing circuits not only expands the toolbox of nucleic acid assembly techniques, but also further improves the specificity of recognizing and processing of DNA input. Herein, a polymerase-driven primer exchange reaction, acting as the sensing module, is introduced into the biocomputing system and transduces the multiple miRNAs sensing event into the intermediate triggers for activating the subsequent processing module, which further performs signal readout through DNAzyme catalytic substrate cleavage reaction. By using biomineralized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) to deliver all the components of the biocomputing system, including polymerase and DNA probes, we realized polymerase-driven DNA biocomputing operations in living cells, including AND and OR gates. The results exhibited that biomineralized ZIF-8 NPs can protect the loaded cargoes against the external environment and deliver them efficiently to the cytoplasm. The polymerase-driven DNA biocomputing system based on multiple miRNAs sensing can be used for reliable cell identification and may provide a promising platform for more accurate diagnosis and programmable therapeutics.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a very important regulatory role in life activities. Abnormal expression levels of miRNAs in cells are associated with various diseases, especially human cancer. Nevertheless, accurate detection of the copy numbers of various miRNA molecules in single cell is still a great challenge. In this study, an intracellular multivariate signal amplification strategy based on microchip platform was proposed, and an ultrasensitive single-cell analysis method was established for simultaneous quantification of absolute copy numbers of multiple miRNAs in a single cell. Using miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 as the analytical models of miRNAs, the detection limits of 1.0 and 2.0 fM were obtained. Based on the developed method, an analysis of 600 randomly acquired different types of cells was performed. The distribution of absolute copy numbers of miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 in six types of cells was obtained. It was found that the number of copies of miRNA-21 and miRNA-141 in different types of cancer cells showed different expression characteristics. The study results can help us more accurately understand cell-to-cell heterogeneity and the relationship between different miRNAs and different types of cancer at the single cell level.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanotags hold a unique place among bioimaging contrast agents due to their fingerprint-like spectra, which provide one of the highest degrees of detection specificity. However, in order to achieve a sufficiently high signal intensity, targeting capabilities, and biocompatibility, all components of nanotags must be rationally designed and tailored to a specific application. Design parameters include fine-tuning the properties of the plasmonic core as well as optimizing the choice of Raman reporter molecule, surface coating, and targeting moieties for the intended application. This review introduces readers to the principles of SERS nanotag design and discusses both established and emerging protocols of their synthesis, with a specific focus on the construction of SERS nanotags in the context of bioimaging and theranostics.

Abstract
With the emergence of microRNA (miRNA) as a key player in early clinical disease diagnosis, development of rapidly sensitive and quantitative miRNA detection methods are imperative. Herein, a label-free SERS assay coupled with duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) signal amplification strategy was proposed for facilely ultrasensitive and quantitative analysis of miRNA-21. Firstly, magnetic beads assembled with excessive capture DNA were utilized to hybridize the target miRNA-21. These DNA-RNA heteroduplexes were cleaved by DSN to generate small nucleotide fragments into the supernatant and the miRNA-21 released and rehybridized another DNA, going to the next DSN cycle. Consequently, numerous of small nucleotide fragments of capture DNA were released from magnetic beads and the miRNA-21 signal was transferred and amplified by the SERS signals of total phosphate backbones which are abundant in nucleotide. Furthermore, iodide-modified Ag nanoparticles (AgINPs) was employed to generate a strong and reproducible SERS signal. The proposed method displayed excellent performance for miRNA-21 detection with the linear range from 0.33 fM to 3.3 pM, and a lower detection limit of 42 aM. Moreover, this strategy exhibited effectively base discrimination capability and was successfully applied for monitoring the expression levels of miRNA-21 in different cancer cell lines and human serum.

Abstract
Early specific detection through indicative biomarkers and precise visualization of lesion sites are urgent requirements for clinical disease diagnosis. However, current detection and optical imaging methods are insufficient for these demands. Molecular imaging technologies are being intensely studied for reliable medical diagnosis. In the past several decades, molecular imaging with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has significant advances from analytical chemistry to medical science. SERS is the inelastic scattering generated from the interaction between photons and substances, presenting molecular structure information. The outstanding SERS virtues of high sensitivity, high specificity, and resistance to biointerference are highly advantageous for biomarker detection in a complex biological matrix. In this work, we review recent progress on the applications of SERS imaging in clinical diagnostics. With the assistance of SERS imaging, the detection of disease-related proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and pH of the cellular microenvironment can be implemented for adjuvant medical diagnosis. Moreover, multimodal imaging integrates the high penetration and high speed of other imaging modalities and imaging precision of SERS imaging, resulting in final complete and accurate imaging outcomes and exhibiting robust potential in the discrimination of pathological tissues and surgical navigation. As a promising molecular imaging technology, SERS imaging has achieved remarkable performance in clinical diagnostics and the biomedical realm. It is expected that this review will provide insights for further development of SERS imaging and promote the rapid progress and successful translation of advanced molecular imaging with clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and selective microRNA (miRNA) assay is of great significance for disease diagnosis and therapy. Herein, a magnetic-assisted electrochemistry (EC)-photoelectrochemistry (PEC) dual-mode biosensing platform was developed for miRNA-210 detection based on dual-signaling EC and photocurrent-polarity-switching PEC strategies. Porous magnetic Fe3O4 octahedra with a large surface area were synthesized by calcining Fe-based metal-organic frameworks. Subsequently, the magnetic photoelectric materials (Fe3O4@CdS) were developed by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method in Cd2+ and S2- solutions. Then, the self-assembled DNA nanoprisms contained three thiols/hanging arms that could capture miRNA-210 efficiently and were anchored to the Fe3O4@CdS octahedra via the Cd-S bond. When miRNA-210 was present, the double-stranded DNA concatemers [the self-assembled duplex helixes based on a pair of methylene blue (MB)-labeled single-stranded DNAs (AP1 and AP2) through the hybridization chain reaction and then intercalated with adriamycin (Dox) into their grooves] were connected with the Fe3O4@CdS-DNA nanoprisms. MB and Dox not only acted as the electrochemical probes but also synergistically switched the photocurrent polarity of the Fe3O4@CdS octahedra. Thus, miRNA-210 was assayed sensitively and selectively via the proposed EC-PEC dual-mode biosensing platform. Additionally, the abovementioned recognition steps occurred in a homogeneous system, and the effects of the impurities and interferences on the miRNA-210 assay could be easily avoided by magnetic separation due to the good magnetic properties of Fe3O4 octahedra. The proposed EC-PEC dual-mode biosensing platform showed a wide range of potential applications in bioanalysis and early diagnosis of disease.

Abstract
A multifunctional theranostic nanosystem that integrates dynamic monitoring and therapeutic functions is necessary for precision tumor medicine. Herein, an entropy-driven self-assembly nanomachine is developed that overcomes the mechanism differences of different diagnostic modes and is applied to miRNA surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-fluorescence dual-mode dynamic monitoring and synergy phototherapy. It is worth noting that the activated dual-mode theranostic nanosystem (DTN) is capable of tumor in situ fluorescence imaging and SERS absolute quantification of the target. After being internalized into tumor cells, the DTN nanosystem is activated by the DNA cascade chain displacement of the target miR-21, resulting in the secondary release of fluorophores and the assembly of core-satellite structures (CS structures). The coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in the CS structure results in the formation of numerous enhanced electric fields (hot spot) in the nanogap of the CS structure. Then the DTN nanosystem greatly improves the sensitivity and repeatability of Raman detection by converting trace targets into numerous adenines residing in the electromagnetic hot spot of the CS structure. Meanwhile, the CS structure and the loaded photosensitizer are used for synergy phototherapy under the guidance of fluorescence imaging. This proposed strategy is confirmed by in vivo and in vitro results, and it provides new ideas for tumor SERS-fluorescence dual-mode diagnosis and effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
DNAzymes with enzymatic activity identified from random DNA pools by in vitro selection have recently attracted considerable attention. In this work, a DNAzyme-based autonomous-motion (AM) molecular machine is demonstrated for sensitive simultaneous imaging of different intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs). The AM molecular machine consists of two basic elements, one of which is a target-analogue-embedded double-stem hairpin substrate (TDHS) and the other is a locking-strand-silenced DNAzyme (LSDz). LSDz can be activated by target miRNA and catalytically cleave TDHS, generating Clv-TDHS and releasing free target analogue capable of triggering the next round of cleavage reaction. As such, the molecular machine can exert sustainable autonomous operation, producing an enhanced signal. Because the active target analogue comes from the machine itself and offers cyclical stimulation in a feedback manner, this target-induced autonomous cleavage circuit is termed a self-feedback circuit (SFC). The SFC-based molecular machine can be used to quantify miRNA-21 down to 10 pM without interference from nontarget miRNAs, indicating a substantial improvement in assay performance compared with its counterpart system without an SFC effect. Moreover, due to the enzyme-free process, the AM molecular machine is suitable for miRNA imaging in living cells, and the quantitative results are consistent with the gold standard PCR assay. More interestingly, the AM molecular machine can be used for the simultaneous fluorescence imaging of several intracellular miRNAs, enabling the accurate discrimination of cancerous cells (e.g., HeLa and MCF-7) from healthy cells. The SFC-based autonomous-motion machine is expected to be a promising tool for the research of molecular biology and early diagnosis of human diseases.

Abstract
Simultaneous imaging, diagnosis, and therapy can offer an effective strategy for cancer treatment. However, the complex probe design, poor drug release efficiency, and multidrug resistance remain tremendous challenges to cancer treatment. Here, a novel one-two-three system is built for enhanced imaging and detection of miRNA-21 (miR-21) overexpressed in cancer cell and chemogene therapy. The system consists of dual-mode DNA robot nanoprobes assembled by two types of hairpin DNAs and three-way branch DNAs modified on gold nanoparticles, with intercalating anticancer drugs (doxorubicin), into DNA duplex GC base pairs. In the system, via intracellular ATP-accelerated cyclic reaction triggered by miR-21, fluorescence and SERS signals were alternated with DNA structure switch, and the precise SERS detection of miRNA and fluorescence imaging oriented "on-demand" release of two types of anticancer drugs (anti-miR-21 and Dox) are achieved. Thus, "one-two-three" means one kind of miR-21-triggered endogenous substance accelerated cyclic reaction, two modes of signal switch, and three functions including enhanced imaging, detection, and comprehensive treatment. The one-two-three system has some notable merits. First, ATP as an endogenous substance promotes DNA structure switching and accelerates the cyclic reaction. Second, the treatment with a dual-mode signal switch is more reliable and accurate and can provide more abundant information than a single-mode treatment platform. Thus, the imaging and detection of intracellular miRNA and effective comprehensive therapy are realized. In vivo results indicate that the system can provide new insights and strategies for diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
The absolute quantification of miRNAs in a single cell allows to better understand the heterogeneity of cells and the relationship between miRNAs and diseases. However, seldom methods for miRNA quantification in a single cell have been reported because the miRNA content in a single cell is very low. Herein, an ultrasensitive chemiluminescence assay strategy based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) on a microchip platform was proposed for the absolute quantification of miRNAs in a single cell. In this strategy, a ring probe with specificity was designed and synthesized, which could perform RCA for target miRNAs to improve the sensitivity and satisfy the need of absolute quantification of miRNAs in a single cell. The 20 liver cancer cells (HepG2) and 20 normal liver cells (HL-7702) were analyzed using this method; it is found that the miRNA-21 contents varied among cells, and miRNA-21 was overexpressed in HepG2 cells. Compared with traditional methods, the proposed strategy has many advantages such as low cost, simple operation, short analysis time, good specificity, and lower probability of false positives. This method is expected to be one of the powerful tools for the absolute quantification of miRNAs in a single cell.

Abstract
This review focuses on emerging applications of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) optical nanosensors for miRNA analysis, in which the key enhancement factors of the SERS signal, i.e. SERS-active substrates, SERS nanoprobes and nano-assembly strategy, are emphasized. This article includes many nanomaterials for miRNA analysis by the SERS technique. We summarize these reported nanomaterials mainly according to their function in the miRNA assay biosensor. We also briefly summarize the research progress of these nanomaterials in SERS detection of intracellular miRNA. Finally, we discussed the prospect and limitations of SERS nanosensors for analyzing miRNA.

Abstract
Multiplex surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of markers without background in tumor biosystems has its superiority over other optical methods. Herein, we reported a strategy of quantitative discrimination of two breast cancer cell subtypes. Based on our previous studies, two kinds of Prussian blue analogue coated gold nanoparticles (Au@PBA NPs) were designed and synthesized by the replacement of Fe2+ with Pb2+ or Cu2+. Therefore, two distinct SERS emissions of C≡N bonds at 2122 cm-1 and 2176 cm-1 have been acquired. When modified with aptamers of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which are both expressed in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines but in different levels, the SERS nanoprobes simultaneously identified the relative expression of these biomarkers on the cell surface, providing a good example for ratiometric detection in biosystems without any interference. Each surface marker of tumor cells corresponds to a single SERS emission. Thus, each subtype could be described in a molecular profiling way through duplex C≡N bonds-based SERS emission, which is more advanced than traditional flow cytometry method.

Abstract
We developed a "signal-on" self-powered biosensing strategy by taking full advantage of both photoelectrochemical biofuel cells (PBFCs) and metal-organic framework (MOF)-controlled release behavior for ultrasensitive microRNA assay. PBFC-based self-powered sensors have the unique characteristics of non-requirement of external power sources, simple fabrication process, miniature size, good anti-interference ability and low cost. Furthermore, based on the target microRNA-induced release of the electron donor ascorbic acid and the high catalytic ability of the biocathode to catalyse the oxygen reduction reaction, photo-driven self-powered biosensors for ultrasensitive microRNA detection were successfully realized. The as-proposed signal-on biosensor not only provides a simple and effective strategy, but also possesses the merits of a wide dynamic concentration response range and high sensitivity for microRNA detection, with a limit of detection down to 0.16 fM.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds naturally produced by certain types of fungi. The contamination of mycotoxins can occur on numerous foodstuffs, including cereals, nuts, fruits, and spices, and pose a major threat to humans and animals by causing acute and chronic toxic effects. In this regard, reliable techniques for accurate and sensitive detection of mycotoxins in agricultural products and food samples are urgently needed. As an advanced analytical tool, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), presents several major advantages, such as ultrahigh sensitivity, rapid detection, fingerprint-type information, and miniaturized equipment. Benefiting from these merits, rapid growth has been observed under the topic of SERS-based mycotoxin detection. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent achievements in this area. The progress of SERS-based label-free detection, aptasensor, and immunosensor, as well as SERS combined with other techniques, has been summarized, and in-depth discussion of the remaining challenges has been provided, in order to inspire future development of translating the techniques invented in scientific laboratories into easy-to-operate analytic platforms for rapid detection of mycotoxins.
