An "off-on-enhanced on" electrochemiluminescence biosensor based on resonance energy transfer and surface plasmon coupled 3D DNA walker for ultra-sensitive detection of microRNA-21. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1315:342822. [PMID: 38879216 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was developed to detect microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) with high sensitivity by leveraging the combined mechanisms of resonance energy transfer (RET) and surface plasmon coupling (SPC). Initially, the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) were coated with Cu-Zn-In-S quantum dots (CZIS QDs), known for their defect-related emission suitable for ECL sensing. Subsequently, a hairpin DNA H3 with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) attached at the end was modified over the surface of the quantum dots. The Au NPs could effectively quench the ECL signals of CZIS QDs via RET. Further, a significant amount of report DNA was generated through the action of a 3D DNA walker. When the report DNA opened H3-Au NPs, the hairpin structure experienced a conformational change to a linear shape, increasing the gap between the CZIS QDs and the Au NPs. Consequently, the localized surface plasmon resonance ECL (LSPR-ECL) effect replaced ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET). Moreover, the report DNA was released following the addition of H4-Au NPs, resulting in the formation of Au dimers and a surface plasma-coupled ECL (SPC-ECL) effect that enhanced the ECL intensity to 6.97-fold. The integration of new ECL-RET and SPC-ECL biosensor accurately quantified miRNA-21 concentrations from 10-8 M to 10-16 M with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.08 fM, as well as successfully applied to validate human serum samples.

Abstract
Traditional DNA walkers face enormous challenges due to limited biostability and reaction kinetics. Herein, we designed a self-driven close-looped DNAzyme walker (cl-DW) with high structural biostability and catalytic activity that enabled rapid electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of pesticide residue acetamiprid. Specifically, cl-DW exhibited increasing ability to resist nuclease degradation with a 570-fold longer half-degradation time than that of the single-stranded DNAzyme walker (ss-DW) due to the protected DNA terminal. Furthermore, cl-DW achieved high catalytic activity with a 4.3-fold faster reaction kinetic than that of ss-DW due to the circularized nanostructure of an available catalytic domain. Consequently, we utilized cl-DW as a signal amplifier and tin-based sulfide (SnS2) nanoflowers as ECL emitters to construct an ECL aptasensor, which realized the sensitive detection of acetamiprid with a limit of detection of 0.85 nM. This work provides a reliable approach to exploring DNA walkers with high catalytic activity and better biostability for molecular monitoring.

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
Currently reported aggregation-induced electroluminescence (AIECL) is usually based on the electrostatic integration of luminous monomers, and its application is still limited by the low ECL efficiency and poor structural stability of electrostatic integration-based AIECL emitters. Herein, host-guest recognition-mediated supramolecular AIECL was creatively developed to overcome the defects of electrostatic-integration-based AIECL. Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) as the host recognized tris (2-phenylpyridine) iridium(III) [Ir(ppy)3] as the guest to form a novel supramolecular complex Ir-CB[8]. CB[8] can not only provide a large hydrophobic cavity to efficiently load Ir(ppy)3 and enrich coreactant tripropylamine but also utilize its carbonyl-laced portals to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds to stabilize the supramolecular structure, so Ir-CB[8] revealed excellent AIECL performance. The AIECL emitter Ir-CB[8] coupled the efficient DNA walker to construct a sensing system for miRNA-16 detection. Au nanoparticles@norepinephrine (AuNPs@NE) trapped by single-strand S1 was developed to significantly quench the ECL emission of Ir-CB[8]. When the target microRNA-16 (miRNA-16) existed, H1 was opened and the sequential assembly from H2 to H7 was triggered, forming "windmill"-like DNA walker with six Pb2+-dependent leg DNA. The assembled DNA walker, which was centered on DNA structure, had high efficiency and biocompatibility and can cut S1 to keep the DNA fragment-carrying quencher AuNPs@NE away from the electrode surface, thus restoring the ECL emission of Ir-CB[8] and realizing ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-16. Supramolecular AIECL mediated by host-guest recognition provides a new way for constructing AIECL emitters with excellent structural stability and AIECL efficiency, and an Ir-CB[8] coupling "windmill"-like DNA walker builds a promising ECL-sensing system for bioassay.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) self-assembled AuNPs/Ti3C2 MXene hydrogel (AuNPs/Ti3C2 MXH) nanocomposite was prepared for the fabrication of a novel microRNA-122 electrochemical biosensor. The 3D hydrogel structure was gelated from two-dimensional MXene nanosheets with the assistance of graphite oxide and ethylenediamine. MXene hydrogels supported the in situ formation of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) that predominantly exploring the (111) facet, and these AuNPs are utilized as carriers for hairpin DNA (hpDNA) probes, facilitating DNA hybridization. MXene acted as both a reductant and stabilizer, significantly improving the electrochemical signal. In addition, the conjugation of PAMAM dendrimer-encapsulated AuNPs and H-DNA worked as an ideal bridge to connect targets and efficient electrochemical tags, providing a high amplification efficiency for the sensing of microRNA-122. A linear relationship between the peak currents and the logarithm of the concentrations of microRNA-122 from 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 102 fM (I = 1.642 + 0.312 lgc, R2 = 0.9891), is obtained. The detection limit is 0.8 × 10-2 fM (S/N = 3). The average recovery for human serum detection ranged from 97.32 to 101.4% (RSD < 5%).

Abstract
The enhanced cathodic ECL of Ru(bpy)32+ at a bimetallic element MXenes (TiVC MXene) modified electrode in neutral aqueous condition is reported. TiVC MXene significantly catalyzed the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as well as the electrochemical reduction of Ru(bpy)32+ to produce reactive oxygen species and Ru(bpy)3+. The obtained hydroxyl radical (OH∙) not only oxidized Ru(bpy)3+ to generate Ru(bpy)32+* and emit light through coreactant pathway, but also oxidized Ru(bpy)32+ to Ru(bpy)33+, which caused an annihilation ECL reaction. As a result, two pathways occurred simultaneously to generate strong cathodic ECL signal. Sulfite removes the dissolved oxygen in water and reduces the occurrence of ORR, which prohibits the generation of OH∙ to decrease the ECL signal. The decrement of ECL intensity varied linearly with the concentration of sulfite in the range 2 nM to 50 μM with a detection limit of 0.14 nM (3σ). The proposed sensor exhibited good analytical performance, and could be used in the detection of sulfite in real samples. The results revealed that the electrocatalytic behavior of TiVC MXene is the key factor for strong cathodic Ru(bpy)32+ ECL, which provides new application in ECL sensing field.

Abstract
Optical biosensors have become powerful tools for bioanalysis, but most of them are limited by optic damage, autofluorescence, as well as poor penetration ability of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) light. Herein, a near-infrared light (NIR)-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC)-fluorescence (FL) dual-mode biosensor has been proposed for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA) based on bipedal DNA walker with cascade amplification. Fueled by toehold-mediated strand displacement (TMSD), the bipedal DNA walker triggered by target miRNA-21 is formed through catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), which can efficiently move along DNA tracks on CdS nanoparticles (CdS NPs)-modified fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode, resulting in the introduction of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) on electrode surface. Under 980 nm laser irradiation, the UCNPs serve as the energy donor to emit UV/Vis light and excite CdS NPs to generate photocurrent for PEC detection, while the upconversion luminescence (UCL) at 803 nm is monitored for FL detection. This PEC-FL dual-mode biosensor has achieved the ultrasensitive and accurate analysis of miRNA-21 in human serum and different gynecological cancer cells. Overall, the proposed dual-mode biosensor can not only couple the inherent features of each single-mode biosensor but also provide mutual authentication of testing results, which opens up a new avenue for early diagnosis of miRNA-related diseases in clinic.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A4 (Apo-A4) is considered as a prospective molecular biomarker for diagnosis of depression due to its neurosynaptic toxicity. Here, we propose a neighboring hybridization induced catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) driven bipedal DNA walker that mediates hybridization of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with DNA probes for highly sensitive electrochemical quantitative detection of Apo-A4. Driven by CHA, this bipedal DNA walker can spread all over the surface of the sensor, induce the HP1-HP2 double chain structure, make the surface of the sensor negatively charged, and adsorb a large number of Ag ions. After chemical reduction with hydroquinone, the Ag NPs formed provide signal tracers for electrochemical dissolution analysis of the target. The Ag NPs formed by chemical reduction of hydroquinone can provide signal traces for electrochemical stripping analysis of target thrombin. The linear range of this method is from 10 pg mL-1 to 1000 ng mL-1, and the detection limit is 5.1 pg mL-1. This enzyme-free and labeling detection method provides a new strategy for rapid clinical detection of Apo-A4 and accurate identification of depression.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles enable indirect activation of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using near-infrared (NIR) light, providing an excellent alternative for treating deep tumors. However, conventional NIR light-triggered PDT systems suffered from low spatiotemporal accuracy and restricted therapeutic efficiency in vivo. In this work, DNA logic circuits were functionally modified on down/upconversion nanoparticles (D/UCNPs) to construct smart down/upconversion nanomachines (D/UCNMs) for NIR light-triggered PDT toward target tumors. Upon dual inputs of tumor-associated GSH and TK1 mRNA, DNA logic circuits perform "AND" logic computation and initiate the toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction. Meanwhile, the quenched upconversion fluorescence was recovered and then the approaching photosensitizers were activated, leading to in situ output of singlet oxygen (1O2) for precise and enhanced PDT. Importantly, the biodistribution of the D/UCNMs in vivo could be visualized by second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging via the downconversion luminance of D/UCNPs, which further contributed to performing precise PDT. This work provides new insights into the development of precise and highly efficient PDT systems.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has several advantages, such as a near-zero background signal, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, simplicity, and is widely used for sensing, imaging, and single cell analysis. ECL luminophores are the key factors in the performance of various applications. Among various luminophores, small organic luminophores exhibit many intriguing features including good biocompatibility, facile modification, well-defined molecular structure, and sustainable raw materials, making small organic luminophores attractive for the use in the ECL field. Although many great achievements have been made in the synthesis of new small organic luminophores, solving various challenges, and expanding new applications, there are almost no comprehensive reviews on small organic ECL luminophores. In this review, we briefly introduce the advantages and emission mechanisms of small organic ECL luminophores, summarize the main types, molecular characteristics, and ECL properties of most existing small organic ECL luminophores, and present the important applications and design principles in sensors, imaging, single cell analysis, sterilization, and other fields. Finally, the challenges and outlook of organic ECL luminophores to be popularized in biosensing applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Environment-responsive fluorescence materials are being widely investigated for instrument-free determination of various environmental factors. However, developing an eco-friendly cellulose-based fluorescent pH sensor for sensing extreme acidity and alkalinity is still challenging. Herein, a highly fluorescent and multifunctional material is developed from biopolymer-based cellulose acetate. A biopolymer-based structure containing responsive functional groups such as -C═O and -NH is constructed by chemically bonding 5-amino-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione (luminol) onto cellulose acetate using 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) as a cross-linking agent. The prepared material (Lum-MDI-CA) is characterized by UV-vis, Fourier transform infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopies, and fluorescence techniques. The material exhibits excellent aqua blue fluorescence and demonstrates extreme pH sensing applications. Interesting results are further revealed after adding a pH-unresponsive dye such as MTPP as the reference to develop the ratiometric method. The ratiometric system clearly differentiates the extreme acidic pH 1 from pH 2 and extreme alkaline pH 12, 13, and 14 by visual and fluorescence color change response under a narrow pH range. In addition, the material is fabricated into transparent flexible fluorescent films which demonstrate an outstanding UV shielding, security printing, and haze properties for smart food packaging and printing applications.

Abstract
At the end of 2019, the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a cluster of atypical pneumonia caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been known as a highly contagious disease. Herein, we report the MXene/P–BiOCl/Ru(bpy)32+ heterojunction composite to construct an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (CoVNP) determination. Two-dimensional (2D) material ultrathin phosphorus-doped bismuth oxychloride (P–BiOCl) is exploited and first applied in ECL. 2D architectures MXene not only act as “soft substrate” to improve the properties of P–BiOCl, but also synergistically work with P–BiOCl. Owing to the inimitable set of bulk and interfacial properties, intrinsic high electrochemical conductivity, hydrophilicity and good biocompatible of 2D/2D MXene/P–BiOCl/Ru(bpy)32+, this as-exploited heterojunction composite is an efficient signal amplifier and co-reaction accelerator in the presence of tri-n-propylamine (TPA) as a coreactant. The proposed MXene/P–BiOCl/Ru(bpy)32+-TPA system exhibits a high and stable ECL signal and achieves ECL emission quenching for “signal on-off” recognition of CoVNP. Fascinatingly, the constructed ECL biosensor towards CoVNP allows a wide linear concentration range from 1 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.49 fg/mL (S/N = 3). Furthermore, this presented strategy sheds light on designing a highly efficient ECL nanostructure through the combination of 2D MXene architectures with 2D semiconductor materials in the field of nanomedicine. This ECL biosensor can successfully detect CoVNP in human serum, which can promote the prosperity and development of diagnostic methods of SARS-CoV-2.

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
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
Herein, a novel tetrahedral DNA walker with four arms was engineered to travel efficiently on the 3D-tracks via catalyzed hairpin assembly autonomously, realizing the sensitive detection and activity assessment as well as intracellular imaging of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1). In contrast to traditional DNA walkers, the tetrahedral DNA walker with the rigid 3D framework structure and nonplanar multi-sites walking arms endowed with high collision efficiency, showing a fast walking rate and high nuclease resistance. Impressively, the initial rate of the tetrahedral DNA walker with four arms was 4.54 times faster than that of the free bipedal DNA walker and produced a significant fluorescence recovery in about 40 min, achieving a sensitive detection of APE1 with a low detection limit of 5.54× 10-6 U/μL as well as ultrasensitive intracellular APE1 fluorescence activation imaging. This strategy provides a novel DNA walker for accurate identification of low-abundance cancer biomarker and potential medical diagnosis.

Abstract
Based on luminol-capped Pt-tipped Au bimetallic nanorods (NRs) (L-Au-Pt NRs) as the anode emitter and SnS2 quantum dots (QDs) hybrid Eu metal organic frameworks (MOFs) (SnS2 QDs@Eu MOFs) as the cathode emitter, a dual-signal electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platform was designed for the ultrasensitive and highly selective detection of kanamycin (KAN). Using a dual-signal output mode, the ratiometric ECL aptasensor largely eliminates false-positives or false-negatives by self-calibration in the KAN assay process. To stimulate the resonance energy transform (RET) system, the KAN aptamer and complementary DNA are introduced for conjugation between the donor and acceptor. With the specific recognition of target KAN by its aptamer, L-Au-Pt NRs-apt partially peels off from the electrode surface. Eventually, the RET system is removed, leading to an increasing cathode signal and a decreasing anode signal. In view of this phenomenon, the ratiometric aptasensor can quantify KAN from 1 pM to 10 nM with a low detection limit of 0.32 pM. This dual-signal ECL aptasensor exhibits great practical potential in environmental monitoring and food safety.

Abstract
The development of a multi-target simultaneous detection electrochemiluminescence (ECL) strategy remains a great research interest, however, the limited choice of ECL luminophores is the main limitation holding the field back. In this study, a band gap tunable Cu-Zn-In-S/ZnS nanocrystals (CZIS/ZnS NCs) was synthesized and applied to a potential-resolved ECL detection strategy. By changing the Cu ratio in the precursor, the CZIS/ZnS NCs ECL emission spectrum and emission potential were tuned from 480 to 750 nm and -2.10 to -1.11 V, respectively. In addition, an ECL biosensor was fabricated with CZIS/ZnS NCs as signal reporters to detect three types of microRNAs, which could sensitively and selectively determine microRNA-21, microRNA-141, and microRNA-155 in a single cathodic ECL process. The results showed that the ECL intensity was directly linear to the logarithm of the concentration of microRNA-21, microRNA-141, and microRNA-155 from 0.00001 to 10 nM with detection limits of 2.2, 2.6, and 2.7 fM, respectively. This study demonstrates that the emission potential tunable CZIS/ZnS NCs can be employed as a promising alternative to the toxic II-V and II-V NCs to simultaneously detect multiple disease markers, and can guide the further rational design of both ECL luminophores and multi-analyte ECL sensors.

A strategy combining 3D-DNA Walker and CRISPR-Cas12a trans-cleavage activity applied to MXene based electrochemiluminescent sensor for SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene detection. Talanta 2022; 236:122868. [PMID: 34635250 PMCID: PMC8429000 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Early diagnosis and timely management of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are the keys to preventing the spread of the epidemic and controlling new infection clues. Therefore, strengthening the surveillance of the epidemic and timely screening and confirming SARS-CoV-2 infection is the primary task. In this work, we first proposed the idea of activating CRISPR-Cas12a activity using double-stranded DNA amplified by a three-dimensional (3D) DNA walker. We applied it to the design of an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensor to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene. We first activated the cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a by amplifying the target DNA into a segment of double-stranded DNA through the amplification effect of a 3D DNA walker. At the same time, we designed an MXene based ECL material: PEI-Ru@Ti3C2@AuNPs, and constructed an ECL biosensor to detect the RdRp gene based on this ECL material as a framework. Activated CRISPR-Cas12a cleaves the single-stranded DNA on the surface of this sensor and causes the ferrocene modified at one end of the DNA to move away from the electrode surface, increasing the ECL signal. The extent of the change in electrochemiluminescence reflects the concentration of the gene to be measured. Using this system, we detected the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection limit of 12.8 aM. This strategy contributes to the rapid and convenient detection of SARS-CoV-2-associated nucleic acids and promotes the clinical application of ECL biosensors based on CRISPR-Cas12a and novel composite materials.

Abstract
Accumulative evidences have indicated that abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is closely associated with many health disorders, making them be regarded as potentialbiomarkers for early clinical diagnosis. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to develop a highly sensitive, specific and reliable approach for miRNA analysis. Catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) signal amplification is an enzyme-free toehold-mediated strand displacement method, exhibiting significant potential in improving the sensitivity of miRNA detection strategies. In this review, we first describe the potential of miRNAs as disease biomarkers and therapeutics, and summarize the latest advances in CHA signal amplification-based sensing strategies for miRNA monitoring. We describe the characteristics and mechanism of CHA signal amplification and classify the CHA-based miRNA sensing strategies into several categories based on the "signal conversion substance", including fluorophores, enzymes, nanomaterials, and nucleotide sequences. Sensing performance, limit of detection, merits and disadvantages of these miRNA sensing strategies are discussed. Moreover, the current challenges and prospects are also presented.

Abstract
Depending on the reaction between walkers and tracks, DNA walker is able to output signals continuously, which has attracted great attention from the bioanalytical community. Therefore, how to improve its reaction kinetics for efficient signal readout is of great significance. Herein, a quadrilateral DNAzyme walker was fabricated by colocalizing one walker and three DNA tracks in the quadrilateral nucleic acid frame to form a reaction unit (abbreviated as qDNA walker). Impressively, in contrast to the common free DNAzyme walker, the reaction kinetics of the qDNA walker was 2.3 times faster, which could achieve microRNA detection within 30 min. Meanwhile, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitter of anthracene-cucurbituril supramolecular nanocrystals (Ant-CB SNCs) was obtained based on the self-assembly of cucurbituril (CB, host molecule) and anthracene (Ant, guest molecule). Benefiting from the host-guest recognition effect, the prepared Ant-CB SNCs exhibited enhanced ECL efficiency due to the supramolecular interaction between CB and Ant, which could inhibit vibration and rotation of the Ant molecules. We defined this new enhanced ECL phenomenon as "host-guest recognition-enhanced ECL." As a proof of concept, an ECL biosensor for microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) was constructed by combining the high-efficiency DNAzyme walker and the advanced ECL emitter of Ant-CB SNCs, which showed a linear range from 50 aM to 50 pM with a low limit of detection (11 aM), highlighting the great potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, a label-free and immobilization-free electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) system based on graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (GCNNs)/Ru(phen)32+ donor/acceptor pair is developed, in which the ECL-RET is regulated by regulating the diffusivity of Ru(phen)32+ molecules toward the negatively charged GCNNs through logically programmed DNA hybridization reactions. The two optical signals of GCNNs (445 nm) and Ru(phen)32+ (593 nm) show completely opposite changes through the same one-time DNA hybridization reaction. Based on this ECL-RET system, a contrary logic pair (CLP) library, a parity generator/checker system for differentiating the erroneous bits during data transmission, the parity checker to identify the even/odd natural numbers from 0 to 9, and a series of concatenated logic circuits including a six-input logic gate capable of implementing of 64 input combinations for meeting the needs of computational complexity are developed. The ECL-RET-based molecular logic system avoids the time-consuming, costly and inefficient labeling procedures and the laborious processes of immobilization, presenting great potential for building more complicated and advanced logic gates, and providing a refreshing inspiration for the construction of combinatorial logic circuits based on ECL method.

Abstract
The development of a robust sensing platform with an efficient probe assembly, and ingenious signal conversion is of great significance for bioanalytical application. In this work, a multipedal polydopamine nanoparticles-DNA (PDANs-DNA) nanomachine coupling electrochemical-driven metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) conversion-enabled biosensing platform was constructed. The PDANs-DNA nanomachine was designed based on Ca2+-mediated DNA adsorption and target-triggered catalytic hairpin assembly on PDANs, which not only maintained the DNA immobilization simplicity but also possessed a high walking efficiency. PDANs-DNA nanomachine could walk fast on the electrode via multiple legs under exonuclease III driving, resulting in the formation of DNA dendrimers through two hairpins assembly. The MOFs (Fe-MIL-88-NH2) probe was decorated on the DNA dendrimers to act as a porous metal precursor and converted into electroactive Prussian Blue by a controlled electrochemical approach, which was a facile, simple, and room-temperature approach compared with the commonly employed MOFs conversion methods. Using microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) as the model target, the proposed biosensor achieved miRNA-21 detection ranging from 10 aM to 10 pM with the detection limit of 5.8 aM. The proposed strategy presented a highly efficient walking platform with the ingenious electrochemical conversion of MOFs, providing more options for the design of an electrochemical platform and holding potential applications in clinical analysis and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, a sensitive and selective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor was designed using Au@HKUST-1 as accelerator towards the perylene derivative (PTC-Cys)/peroxydisulfate (S2O82-) system for kanamycin (KAN) assay. Firstly, the PTC-Cys was prepared by covalently binding l-cysteine to 3,4,9,10-perylenete-tracarboxylic acid, which was acted as the luminophore. Then Au@HKUST-1could play the part of effective catalyst to accelerate the electrochemical reduction process of S2O82-to produce more sulfate radical anions (SO4•-), thus the ECL signal of the compound was noticeably raised by 2.4 times in comparison with that in which only luminophore and S2O82- are present, achieving signal amplification of the ECL system. In the presence of KAN, aptamer was pulled down from the sensing interface, achieving a considerable enhancement of ECL intensity in S2O82- solution. Upon the optimal condition, our proposed strategy can quantify the concentration of KAN from 1.0 × 10-13 to 1.0 × 10-8 M with low limit of detection of 4.2 × 10-14 M (S/N = 3).Besides, our proposed ECL aptasensor exhibited excellent sensitivity, stability and specificity, and could be successfully applied to detect KAN in practical samples, which proved its potential to detect other antibiotics in food security.

Abstract
In this work, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are utilized as effective ECL coreactant accelerator to enhance the ECL responses of N-(aminobutyl)-N-(ethylisoluminol) (ABEI). Zn-based MOFs (MOF-Zn-1) were prepared by chelating Zn ions with melamine and thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TPDA), which observably accelerated the electrocatalytic oxidation of tripropylamine (TPA). Then, ABEI-MOF-Zn-1 as a high-performance ECL emitter was synthesized via an amide reaction between ABEI and mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) modified MOF-Zn-1. Strikingly, the ABEI-MOF-Zn-1 showed the 18-fold increase in the ECL signals relative to pure ABEI by using TPA as a coreactant. Moreover, ferrocene (Fc) as a quencher was first linked with capture DNA (cDNA), and then used to modify the ABEI-MOF-Zn-1, thereby constructing a label-free ECL biosensor. After the linkage between chloramphenicol (CAP) and aptamer DNA (aptDNA), the ECL response was definitely recovered by releasing L-DNA from double-stranded DNA (dsDNA, hybridization of aptDNA and L-DNA). The resultant sensor showed a wide linear range of 1.00 nM-0.10 mM (R2 = 0.99) and a low limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.11 nM for detecting CAP. This work developed a novel pattern to design an efficient ECL enhanced emitter, coupled by expanding its potential applications in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The detection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is crucial for preventing and controlling infectious diseases and disease treatment. In this work, a Au@Ti3C2@PEI-Ru(dcbpy)32+ nanocomposite-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was rationally designed, which realized sensitive detection of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of SARS-CoV-2. In addition, a DNA walker was also used to excise the hairpin DNAs under the action of Nb.BbvCI endonuclease. Furthermore, model DNA-Ag nanoclusters (model DNA-AgNCs) were used to quench the initial ECL signal. As a result, the ECL biosensor was used to sensitively detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection range of 1 fM to 100 pM and a limit of detection of 0.21 fM. It was indicated that the ECL biosensor had a great application potential for clinical medical detection. Furthermore, the DNA walker amplification also played a reliable candidate strategy for other detection methods.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) can be produced through two main routes: annihilation route and coreactant route. The vast majority of applications of ECL are based on coreactant ECL which can be generated in aqueous media at relatively low potentials compared with organic solvents. However, the development of more efficient ECL systems remains a compelling goal. Co-reaction accelerator (CRA) can significantly enhance the ECL signal through promoting more production of the coreactant intermediate. Compared with other ECL enhancement strategies, the CRA protocol is distinctive owing to its diverse, simple, and highly effective features. Various species such as inorganic compound, organic compound, and nanomaterials (NMs) have been developed as CRA and NM CRA has gained particular attention owing to their unique properties of excellent catalytic behavior and large surface area. By integration with the inherent advantages of ECL, bioanalysis based on CRA-enhanced ECL showed excellent performance such as ultrahigh sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low cost, simple instrumentation, and measurements in complex media. It has been extensively applied in various fields including clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Therefore, it is of great interest to present a systematic and critical review on the advances in ECL CRA. Herein, the recent progress on CRA and its applications in ECL bioanalysis are summarized by illustrating some representative work and a discussion of the future development trends of CRA ECL is offered.

Abstract
A pyrene-based sp2 carbon-conjugated covalent organic framework (COF) nanosheet (Py-sp2c-CON) with strong and stable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission was constructed by C═C polycondensation of tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)pyrene (TFPPy) and 2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)diacetonitrile, which was employed as a highly efficient ECL emitter to fabricate an ECL biosensor for the first time. The Py-sp2c-CON exhibited higher ECL intensity and efficiency than those of TFPPy, bulk Py-sp2c-COF, and imine-linked pyrene COF, not only because the pyrene luminophores and aggregation-induced emissive luminogens (cyano-substituted phenylenevinylene) were topologically linked into Py-sp2c-CON, which greatly increased the immobilization amount of luminophores and decreased the aggregation-caused quenching effect and nonradiative transition but also because the porous ultrathin structure of Py-sp2c-CON effectively shortened transport distances of an electron, ion, and co-reactant (S2O82-), which made more ECL luminophores be activated and thus efficiently increased the utilization ratio of luminophores. More interestingly, when Bu4NPF6 was introduced into the Py-sp2c-CON/S2O82- system as a co-reaction accelerator, the ECL signal of Py-sp2c-CON was further amplified. As expected, the average ECL intensity of the Py-sp2c-CON/S2O82-/Bu4NPF6 system was about 2.03, 5.76, 24.31, and 190.33-fold higher than those of Py-sp2c-CON/S2O82-, Py-sp2c-COF/S2O82-, TFPPy/S2O82,- and imine-linked pyrene COF/S2O82- systems. Considering these advantages, the Py-sp2c-CON/S2O82-/Bu4NPF6 system was employed to prepare an ECL biosensor for microRNA-21 detection, which exhibited a broad linear response (100 aM to 1 nM) and a low detection limit (46 aM). Overall, this work demonstrated that sp2 carbon CONs can be directly used as a high-performance ECL emitter, thus expanding the application scope of COFs and opening a new horizon to develop new types of ECL emitters.

Abstract
DNA walkers, one of the artificial molecular machines which are constructed via smart synthetic DNA, have attracted rapidly growing attention from researchers in the biosensing field. In this work, we design an Exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided target-aptamer binding recycling (ETBR) activated bipedal DNA machine for highly sensitive electrochemical detection of antibiotics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a bipedal DNA machine has been applied in electrochemical sensing for antibiotics. On the one hand, the bipedal DNA walker exceeds the conventional single swing arm DNA walker in terms of walking efficiency and stability. On the other hand, the ETBR strategy, along with efficient strand displacement amplification via stepwise movement of a bipedal DNA walker significantly promotes the signal amplification efficiency. Under optimal conditions, this bipedal DNA machine possesses a detection limit of 7.1 fM within a linear detection range from 10 fM to 100 pM. Moreover, this electrochemical biosensor is expected to detect a wide variety of analytes using the corresponding target recognition probes. Thus, our proposed strategy offers a highly efficient, stable and practical platform for small molecule analysis.

Signal-off photoelectrochemical determination of miRNA-21 using aptamer-modified In 2O 3@Cu 2MoS 4 nanocomposite. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:561.

Abstract
In2O3@Cu2MoS4 nanocomposite with superior photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance is used for the first time as a photoactivity material, and a signal-off PEC biosensing platform for miRNA detection has been successfully constructed. Firstly, the Cu2MoS4 nanosheets are synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and then, the homogeneous In2O3 nanoparticles (In2O3 NPs) are synthesized by calcination in the air. The In2O3@Cu2MoS4 nanocomposite is constructed with the Cu2MoS4 nanosheets as matrix and In2O3 NPs as sensitizer through a layer-by-layer assembly strategy. The nanocomposite with a tight interface and the matched band structure restrains the electron-hole pair recombination. Under visible light (400-700 nm), the nanocomposite exhibits a strong initial signal. With the catalyzed hairpin assembly, dozens of PbS quantum dots (QDs) are introduced on the surface of an electrode, significantly reducing the photocurrent of n-type In2O3@Cu2MoS4. Since PbS QDs can compete with the nanocomposite for light energy and electron donors, the signal decreased. Under optimal conditions, the biosensor manifests a broad linear range (1 fM-1 nM) and a low detection limit of about 0.57 fM, at a working potential of 0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The recovery of spiked human serum is between 94.0 and 102%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is between 1.3 and 2.7%. Therefore, the as-fabricated biosensor exhibits a potential for the determination of miRNA-21 in practical applications.Graphical abstract The In2O3@Cu2MoS4 nanocomposite owns a strong anode photocurrent signal, which can be used as a photoactive material to construct a "signal-off" biosensor for the detection of miRNA in non-enzymatically catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction.

Abstract
Designing a stable and sensitive luminol-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analytical platform in the neutral condition has attracted a lot of attention. Here, gold-nanoparticle-functionalized cobalt-nickel phosphate three-dimensional nanoice creams (Au@Co3Ni3(PO4)4 NICs) are successfully prepared via electrostatic interaction. Generally, cobalt-nickel phosphate nanoice creams (Co3Ni3(PO4)4 NICs) are synthesized via a mild hydrothermal method and functionalized via polyethylenimine (PEI). Then, Au NPs are adsorbed on the surface of Co3Ni3(PO4)4 NICs via Au-N weak interaction to fabricate Au@Co3Ni3(PO4)4 NICs. Owing to the important roles of Au@Co3Ni3(PO4)4 in exhibiting excellent electrocatalytic activity, as well as preventing the deposition of negatively charged oxidation product induced electrode passivation, luminol in the nanohybrids (LH-Au@Co3Ni3(PO4)4) gives strong and stable ECL intensity in the neutral conditions. Moreover, the ECL emission of luminol is obviously quenched based on the resonance energy transfer (RET) between luminol as donor and cytochrome c (Cyt c) as acceptor. Hence, a sensitive ECL biosensor is successfully fabricated for the quantitative determination of Cyt c in cell lysates and exhibits wide linear ranges of 1.0 × 10-4-0.5 × 10-5 and 0.5 × 10-5-1.0 × 10-8 M as well as a low detection limit of 2.48 nM. This novel sensing strategy will broaden the application of transition metal (Co, Ni) phosphates in bioassays.

Abstract
Herein, a novel, rapid, highly sensitive, and selective fluorescent biosensor is presented, which is designed based on "sandwich-type" hybridization of oligonucleotides and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy. It senses and determines the MicroRNA-155 (miRNA-155) expression levels as a cancer biomarker. In this study, a modified La(III)-metal-organic framework(MOF) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were used as the energy donor-acceptor pairs in fluorescence quenching through the FRET process. La(III)-MOF was synthesized and then modified by glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent. The Ag NPs were also prepared, and then, the surface of both was conjugated with different 5'-amino-labeled ssDNA strands (aptamers). These prepared nanoprobes were characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared, field emission scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, elemental mapping, and gel electrophoresis. To optimize the detection conditions, several factors affecting biosensor performance were assessed by one variable-at-a-time and central composite design methods. Under optimum conditions, this "turn-off" fluorescent biosensor could detect and determine as low as 0.04 ppb (ng. mL-1) or 5.5 fM of the miRNA-155 biomarker. Therefore, this biosensor provides highly promising potential for lung and breast cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Cell status changes are typically accompanied by the simultaneous changes of multiple microRNA (miRNA) levels. Thus, simultaneous and ultrasensitive detection of multiple miRNA biomarkers shows great promise in early cancer diagnosis. Herein, a facile single-molecule fluorescence imaging assay was proposed for the simultaneous and ultrasensitive detection of multiple miRNAs using only one capture anti-DNA/RNA antibody (S9.6 antibody). Two complementary DNAs (cDNAs) designed to hybridize with miRNA-21 and miRNA-122 were labelled with Cy3 (cDNA1) and Cy5 (cDNA2) dyes at their 5'-ends, respectively. After hybridization, both miRNA-21/cDNA1 and miRNA-122/cDNA2 complexes were captured by S9.6 antibodies pre-modified on a coverslip surface. Subsequently, the Cy3 and Cy5 dyes on the coverslip surface were imaged by the single-molecule fluorescence setup. The amount of miRNA-21 and miRNA-122 was quantified by counting the image spots from the Cy3 and Cy5 dye molecules in the green and red channels, respectively. The proposed assay displayed high specificity and sensitivity for singlet miRNA detection both with a detection limit of 5 fM and for multiple miRNA detection both with a detection limit of 20 fM. Moreover, it was also demonstrated that the assay could be used to detect multiple miRNAs simultaneously in human hepatocellular cancer cells (HepG2 cells). The proposed assay provides a novel biosensing platform for the ultrasensitive and simple detection of multiple miRNA expressions and shows great prospects for early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
As an important biomarker, thrombin (TB) is a major player in thrombosis and hemostasis and has attracted increasing attention involving its determination. Herein a universal and ultrasensitive fluorescence biosensor based on a binding-induced 3D-bipedal DNA walker and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy has been proposed for cascade signal amplification detection of thrombin. In this study, we designed two proximity probes (foot 1 and foot 2) which include a specific affinity ligand for TB binding and a Pb2+-dependent DNAzyme tail sequence. In the presence of TB, the simultaneous binding of TB to foot 1 (F1) and foot 2 (F2) via TB aptamer (TBA) brings the tail sequences into close proximity and the melting temperature for tail sequences and track DNA is increased, allowing the Pb2+-dependent DNAzyme to cleave the track DNA into two short fragments which have lower affinities for the DNAzyme and, finally, leading to the release of trigger DNA (T-DNA) for subsequent CHA reaction. In the meantime, the dissociated DNA walkers (F1 and F2) explore adjacent unwound track DNA, and the walking procedure is conducted. Unlike the conventional unipedal DNA walkers that anchor foot DNA and track DNA on the same sensing surface, the proposed 3D-bipedal DNA walking machine can not only increase the local concentration of track DNA but can also improve the walking efficiency and expand the range of the walkers to some extent due to the two free feet. Moreover, with the advantages of superior sensitivity and excellent specificity, this biosensing platform exhibits a huge potential in practical application in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescent (ECL) strategy was proposed based on a highly efficient dynamic DNA machine based on microRNA triggered free movement on the lipid bilayer interface. Typically, the lipid bilayer is constructed on the electrode surface modified with nafion@ECL luminophore and gold nanoparticles to immobilize the DNA walker labeled with cholesterol and hairpin nucleotides labeled with cholesterol and ferrocene (Fc), based on the cholesterol-lipid interaction. On this state, Fc was close to the ECL luminophore, performing a quenched ECL emission. In the presence of target microRNA 21, it could trigger the entropy beacon-based DNA amplification to convert microRNA to massive special DNA sequences, which could further hybridize with the blocking DNA on DNA walker to reactivate the DNA walker and thus trigger the DNA walker-based amplification to make Fc to be far from the ECL luminophore, performing a recovered ECL emission related with the concentration of microRNA 21. Compared with the conventional DNA walker immobilized on the interface via chemical bonds or physical adsorption, a higher reaction efficiency could be achieved due to the free movements of DNA walker and its substrates on the interface. As expected, satisfactory performances for the detection of microRNA 21 were achieved with a detection limit of 0.4 fM and quantitative estimation in cells. Furthermore, this dynamic DNA machine-based ECL strategy could be readily expanded for the detection of other biomarkers for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Generally, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays are performed in the presence of a coreactant. The addition of the coreactant in the detection solution would make the ECL system lack sufficient stability. In the case of dissolved oxygen as the coreactant, the unknown concentration of dissolved O2 would result in an inevitable error and a lack of reproducibility in detection. A coreactant-free ECL assay could overcome the above shortcomings and thus is an ideal choice. In this work, a coreactant-free dual amplified ECL strategy was constructed for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA). Here, target-catalyzed hairpin assembly and enzyme-triggered DNA walker recycling amplification were integrated to achieve dual signal amplification. Carboxyl-functionalized poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-co-(1,4-benzo-{2,1'-3}-thiadiazole)] (PFBT-COOH) dots were used as luminophores, which displayed prominent ECL performance without adding any coreactants and removing the dissolved O2. As a result, the detection of miRNA was achieved, and the linear range was from 10 aM to 5 pM, and the detection limit was low to 3.3 aM. Meanwhile, the practicability of our biosensor was investigated by analyzing the expression of miRNA in cell lysates. The PFBT-COOH dots provided a great platform for constructing coreactant-free ECL biosensors and expanded the application of conjugated polymer dots in clinical analysis.
