[PMID: 38218151 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138382] [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: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a hepatotoxic and carcinogenic food contaminant, is commonly found in agricultural food. Herein, Au NPs anchored ZIF-8-derived porous carbon-ZnO (Au NPs/PCZIF-8-ZnO) was firstly synthesized to act as the sensing substrate. Then, a ratiometric electrochemical (EC) and "off-on" photoelectrochemical (PEC) dual-mode paper-based aptasensor was presented for AFB1 detection based on a distance-modulation sensing strategy. The independent signal transduction mechanisms and output mode not only broaden the dynamic detection range but also provide a self-verification to assay results, improving the sensitivity and reliability. The wide detection ranges of 0.1 pg/mL-100 ng/mL (EC mode) and 0.02 pg/mL-100 ng/mL (PEC mode) were obtained using dual-mode aptasensor, with detection limits of 36.7 and 9.3 fg/mL, respectively. The fabricated aptasensor exhibited excellent selectivity, reproducibility and stability. Furthermore, it exhibited good practicability for AFB1 assays in real samples, demonstrating great potential applications for food safety evaluation.

Abstract
A twice-walk strategy based on a three-dimensional (3D) cleat-equipped DNA walking machine with a high signal amplification efficiency was investigated for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA. Impressively, addition of duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) just once drove the twice-walk strategy, making the strategy simpler. With the advantages of being simple, rapid and ultrasensitive, the biosensor offers potential for use in early clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have received significant attention owing to their unique properties, especially enhanced sensitivity. Recent advancements in biomedical diagnosis have highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as sensitive prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases. Current diagnostics methods, however, need further improvements with regards to their sensitivity, mainly due to the low concentration levels of miRNAs in the body. The low limit of detection of nanomaterial-based biosensors has turned them into powerful tools for detecting and quantifying these biomarkers. Herein, we assemble an overview of recent developments in the application of different nanomaterials and nanostructures as miRNA electrochemical biosensing platforms, along with their pros and cons. The techniques are categorized based on the nanomaterial used.

Abstract
Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) is a powerful agent for gene therapy, designed to form complementary pairs with specific mRNA to inhibit gene expression. However, low specificity limits its potential. To overcome this challenge, we developed a Y-shape DNA nanostructure that enhances the specificity in ASO-based treatment by introducing a detection trigger. The design incorporates the phenotype-specific miR21 activation and the sequential release of Bcl2 ASO. As a result, our Y-shape DNA nanostructure downregulates >50 % Bcl2 mRNA expression and induces >60 % cell death in breast cancer cells. Meanwhile, this approach shows no obvious damage to the non-cancerous cells, indicating the therapeutic potential as a theranostics agent in precision medicine with the combination of biomarker sensing and treatment. Overall, our Y-shape DNA nanostructure serves as a promising strategy providing potential in customized conformation design with specific target sequences in gene therapy.

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

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology deals with the design of non-naturally occurring DNA nanostructures that can be used in biotechnology, medicine, and diagnostics. In this study, we introduced a nucleic acid five-way junction (5WJ) structure for direct electrochemical analysis of full-length biological RNAs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the interrogation of such long nucleic acid sequences by hybridization probes attached to a solid support. A hairpin-shaped electrode-bound oligonucleotide hybridizes with three adaptor strands, one of which is labeled with methylene blue (MB). The four strands are combined into a 5WJ structure only in the presence of specific DNA or RNA analytes. Upon interrogation of a full-size 16S rRNA in the total RNA sample, the electrode-bound MB-labeled 5WJ association produces a higher signal-to-noise ratio than electrochemical nucleic acid biosensors of alternative design. This advantage was attributed to the favorable geometry on the 5WJ nanostructure formed on the electrode's surface. The 5WJ biosensor is a cost-efficient alternative to the traditional electrochemical biosensors for the analysis of nucleic acids due to the universal nature of both the electrode-bound and MB-labeled DNA components.

A highly sensitive and robust electrochemical biosensor for microRNA detection based on PNA-DNA hetero-three-way junction formation and target-recycling catalytic hairpin assembly amplification.

Abstract
Robust and sensitive methods for the detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial in the clinical diagnosis of cancers. In this study, a novel electrochemical biosensor with high sensitivity for miRNA-21 detection is developed, which relies on the formation of a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-DNA hetero-three-way junction (H3WJ) and target-recycling catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification. The electroneutral PNA probes are initially immobilized onto a gold electrode to construct the sensor. Upon introduction of miRNA-21, target-recycling CHA is initiated, resulting in abundant double-stranded CHA products. Subsequently, association between the PNA probes and these products leads to the formation of PNA-DNA H3WJs. Consequently, the electrode surface is densely populated with numerous electroactive Ferrocene (Fc) groups, resulting in a significantly amplified current response for highly sensitive detection of miRNA-21 at concentrations as low as 0.15 fM. This approach demonstrates remarkable specificity towards target miRNAs and can be utilized for quantitative monitoring of miRNA-21 expression in human cancer cells. More importantly, the sensor exhibits exceptional stability and shows a significant reduction in background noise during miRNA detection, making this method a highly promising sensing platform for monitoring various miRNA biomarkers to facilitate the diagnosis of diverse cancers.

Abstract
Here, we develop an all-in-one strategy for efficient assembly of an electrochemical aptasensor. A multifunctional structure based on a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) was synthesized via a one-step annealing process, providing DNA fixation, target recognition, signal amplification and space regulation. Based on the integration of this multifunctional structure, the sensing interface was assembled in one step. A ratiometric aptasensor was constructed by anchoring methylene blue (MB) to the TDN and ferrocene (Fc) on the cDNA. Using the ratio of the currents obtained from Fc and MB as a measure, the developed aptasensor shows excellent analytical performance for fumonisin B1 detection. This strategy is universal and could simplify the fabrication of aptasensors.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in many cellular processes, and so how to probe them has attracted increasing interest. Here we propose an aptamer-functionalized dimeric framework nucleic acid (FNA) nanoplatform for effective capture of exosomes and directly probing internal miRNAs with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection, not requiring RNA extraction in conventional counterparts. A CD63 protein-binding aptamer is tethered to one of the FNA structures, allowing exosomes to be immobilized there and release internal miRNAs after lysis. The target miRNA induces the formation of a Y-shaped junction on another FNA structure in a close proximity state, which benefits the loading of covalently hemin-modified spherical nucleic acid enzymes for enhanced ECL readout in the luminol-H2O2 system. In this facile way, the ultrasensitive detection of exosomal miR-21 from cancer cells is accomplished and then used for cell apoptosis analysis, indicating that the oncogene miR-21 negatively participates in the regulation of the apoptotic process; namely, downregulating the miR-21 level is unbeneficial for cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Due to the advantages of its numerous modification sites, predictable structure, high thermal stability, and excellent biocompatibility, DNA is the ideal choice as a key component of biosensors. DNA biosensors offer significant advantages over existing bioanalytical techniques, addressing limitations in sensitivity, selectivity, and limit of detection. Consequently, they have attracted significant attention from researchers worldwide. Here, we exemplify four foundational categories of functional nucleic acids: aptamers, DNAzymes, i-motifs, and G-quadruplexes, from the perspective of the structure-driven functionality in constructing DNA biosensors. Furthermore, we provide a concise overview of the design and detection mechanisms employed in these DNA biosensors. Noteworthy advantages of DNA as a sensor component, including its programmable structure, reaction predictility, exceptional specificity, excellent sensitivity, and thermal stability, are highlighted. These characteristics contribute to the efficacy and reliability of DNA biosensors. Despite their great potential, challenges remain for the successful application of DNA biosensors, spanning storage and detection conditions, as well as associated costs. To overcome these limitations, we propose potential strategies that can be implemented to solve these issues. By offering these insights, we aim to inspire subsequent researchers in related fields.

Abstract
Traditional hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a popular isothermal amplification technique shows some inevitable disadvantages in bioanalysis due to its relatively slow kinetics, which could be markedly promoted when the HCR initiator occurs under tension. Herein, a poly DNA tetrahedrons (pTDNs)-mediated HCR was successfully constructed to make its initiator in a stretched state by long-range electrostatic forces owing to the superimposed electrostatic interactions derived from the synthesized pTDNs, and it was hypothesized that it could remarkably enhance HCR performance, which was testified by theoretical simulations and experimental studies. Consequently, pTDNs-mediated HCR was applied to develop a novel immunoassay for rapid and sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 as a proof-of-concept, and its signal amplification was attributed to the increased G4 DNAzyme that loaded on the second antibody. Our work paves a promising way using simple DNA frameworks alone to heighten HCR kinetics for reaction speed improvement and signal amplification in bioanalysis.

Electrochemical biosensor strategy combining DNA entropy-driven technology to activate CRISPR-Cas13a activity and triple-stranded nucleic acids to detect SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene.

Abstract
By merging DNA entropy-driven technology with triple-stranded nucleic acids in an electrochemical biosensor to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene, we tackled the challenges of false negatives and the high cost of SARS-CoV-2 detection. The approach generates a CRISPR-Cas 13a-activated RNA activator, which then stimulates CRISPR-Cas 13a activity using an entropy-driven mechanism. The activated CRISPR-Cas 13a can cleave Hoogsteen DNA due to the insertion of two uracil (-U-U-) in Hoogsteen DNA. The DNA tetrahedra changed on the electrode surface and can therefore not construct a three-stranded structure after cleaving Hoogsteen DNA. Significantly, this DNA tetrahedron/Hoogsteen DNA-based biosensor can regenerate at pH = 10.0, which keeps Hoogsteen DNA away from the electrode surface, allowing the biosensor to function at pH = 7.0. We could use this technique to detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection limit of 89.86 aM. Furthermore, the detection method is very stable and repeatable. This technique offers the prospect of detecting SARS-CoV-2 at a reasonable cost. This work has potential applications in the dynamic assessment of the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 infection and in the screening of environmental samples.

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

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of microRNAs is of great importance in biological researches and cancer diagnosis. Herein, we proposed a novel homogeneous electrochemical sensor to detect microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) using functionalized magnetic nanoparticles combined with enzyme-assisted signal amplification. The biotinylated capture probe (CP) labeled magnetic nanoparticles can capture miRNA-21 and introduce streptavidin-conjugated hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles. In the presence of miRNA-21, hybridization between RNA and DNA results in the formation of RNA/DNA duplexes, and then duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) cleave the duplexes to digest the capture chain and release the miRNA-21 in a loop. Meanwhile, the HAP nanoparticles strip from the magnetic nanoparticles and electrochemical signal by the reaction of HAP with molybdate is changed. The current variation before and after incubation with miRNA-21 is linearly correlated with the miRNA-21 concentration between 1 aM and 1 pM with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.27 aM. Remarkably, the expression of miRNA-21 in human serum and different cell lysate was successfully performed, which fully demonstrates the great practical potentials in biomedical diagnostics and clinical therapeutics.

Abstract
DNA nanomachines have shown potential application in the construction of various biosensors. Here, an electrochemiluminescence biosensor for the sensitive detection of miRNA-21 were reported based on three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanomachine and duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-mediated target recycle amplification strategy. First, the bipedal DNA walkers were obtained by DSN-mediated digestion reaction initiated by target miRNA-21.3D DNA tracks were prepared by modifying Fe3O4 magnetic beads (MBs) with ferrocene-labeled DNA (Fc-DNA). The produced DNA walkers autonomously moved along 3D DNA tracks powered by nicking endonuclease. During the movement, ferrocene-labeled DNA was cleaved, resulting in large amounts of Fc-labeled DNA fragments away from the MBs surface. Finally, the liberated Fc-labeled DNA fragments were dropped on the C-g-C3N4 modified electrode surface, leading to the quenching of C-g-C3N4 electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Benefiting from the dual amplification strategy of 3D DNA nanomachine and DSN-mediated target recycling, the developed ECL biosensor exhibited an excellent performance for miRNA-21 detection with a wide linear range of 10 fM to 10 nM and a low detection limit of 1.0 fM. This work offers a new thought for the application of DNA walkers in the construction of various biosensors.

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

Abstract
Based on a dual signal amplification strategy of novel accordion-like Bi2O3-decorated Ti3C2 (Ti3C2@Bi2O3) nanocomposites and hybridization chain reaction (HCR), an ultra-sensitive electrochemical biosensor was constructed for miRNA-21 detection. By etching Ti3AlC2 with HF, Ti3C2 with an accordion-like structure was first obtained and subsequently covered by Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs), forming Ti3C2@Bi2O3. A layer of Au NPs was electrodeposited on the glassy carbon electrode coated with Ti3C2@Bi2O3, which not only significantly improved the electron transport capacity of the electrode but also greatly increased its surface active area. Upon the immobilization of the thiolated capture probe (SH-CP) on the electrode, the target miRNA-21 specifically hybridized with SH-CP and thus opened its hairpin structure, triggering HCR to form a long double strand with the primers H1 and H2. A large number of the electrochemical indicator molecules were thus embedded inside the long double strands to produce the desirable electrochemical signal at a potential of - 0.19 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Such dual signal amplification strategy successfully endowed the biosensor with ultra-high sensitivity for miRNA-21 detection in a wide linear range from 1 fM to 100 pM with a detection limit as low as 0.16 fM. The excellent detection of miRNA-21 in human blood plasma displayed a broad prospect in clinical diagnosis. An ultra-sensitive electrochemical biosensor was successfully constructed for miRNA-21 detection in human blood plasma based on the dual signal amplification strategy of novel accordion-like Bi2O3 decorated Ti3C2 (Ti3C2@Bi2O3) nanocomposites and hybridization chain reaction.

[PMID: 36671859 PMCID: PMC9856186 DOI: 10.3390/bios13010024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the foodborne pathogenic bacteria that greatly threatens human health. An ultrasensitive technology for P. aeruginosa detection is urgently demanded. Herein, based on the mechanism of aptamer-specific recognition, an electrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode ultrasensitive sensing strategy for P. aeruginosa is proposed. The vertices of DNA tetrahedral nanoprobes (DTNPs), that immobilized on the gold electrode were modified with P. aeruginosa aptamers. Furthermore, the G-quadruplex, which was conjugated with a P. aeruginosa aptamer, was synthesized via rolling circle amplification (RCA). Once P. aeruginosa is captured, a hemin/G-quadruplex, which possesses peroxidase-mimicking activity, will separate from the P. aeruginosa aptamer. Then, the exfoliated hemin/G-quadruplexes are collected for oxidation of the 3,3',5',5'-tetramethylbenzidine for colorimetric sensing. In the electrochemical mode, the hemin/G-quadruplex that is still bound to the aptamer catalyzes polyaniline (PANI) deposition and leads to a measurable electrochemical signal. The colorimetric and electrochemical channels demonstrated a good forward and reverse linear response for P. aeruginosa within the range of 1-108 CFU mL-1, respectively. Overall, compared with a traditional single-mode sensor for P. aeruginosa, the proposed dual-mode sensor featuring self-calibration not only avoids false positive results but also improves accuracy and sensitivity. Furthermore, the consistency of the electrochemical/colorimetric assay was verified in practical meat samples and showed great potential for applications in bioanalysis.

Abstract
Herein we report a simple ligation/transcription-mediated system, using a 22AG G-quadruplex RNA secondary structure and a fluorescence-inducing QnMorpholine probe, for the detection of miR-21. In the presence of the target miR-21, two oligonucleotide probes (promoter and reporter) were ligated, thereby transcribing the 22AG RNA sequence, a complement of the reporter probe. In contrast, in the absence of this target-induced ligation, the reporter complement could not be transcribed to produce the 22AG RNA sequence. Subsequent addition of the QnMorpholine probe resulted in binding with the 22AG G-quadruplex RNA, thereby generating high fluorescence; no fluorescence occurred in the absence of this secondary structure. Hence, the presence of miR-21 was evidenced by a target-induced high-intensity signal. This simple one-pot fluorimetric system, which could detect miR-21 of up to 3.08 femtomolar in less than 30 min, holds promise as a diagnostic tool for selective and sensitive miRNA detection.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a new class of tumor biomarkers in human body for early diagnosis and therapy of cancers, whose detection has scientific significance and potential applications. Herein, a sensitive heterostructured BiVO4/CoPi photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was established for sensing miRNA 141 with assistance of home-synthesized AuPt nanodendrites (NDs) as nanozyme. Specifically, the BiVO4/CoPi heterostructures displayed rough worm-like internetworks, as characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In parallel, the PEC and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy tests confirmed their excellent optical property, combined by discussing the interfacial electron transfer mechanism. Additionally, the AuPt NDs displayed superior peroxidase-like property in the presence of H2O2 as identified by benchmarked tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation, coupled by showing remarkable catalysis for 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) oxidation to form biocatalytic precipitation (BCP). Integrated by a cyclic enzyme strategy, the developed PEC biosensor exhibited a wider linear range of 5 fM ∼1 pM and a lower limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.17 fM (S/N = 3). This work provides some valuable insights for sensitive analysis of tumor-associated miRNA in clinic.

Abstract
microRNA (miRNA) is a kind of small non-coding RNA that has been regarded as potential biomarkers for cancers. Sensitive and specific detection of miRNA at low expression levels is highly desirable but remains challenging, especially for amplification-free and portable point of care (POC) diagnostics. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas13a has been recently discovered and used in the field of RNA detection. Nonetheless, most CRISPR/Cas13a-based methods were burdened with expensive equipment, time-consuming procedures, and complicated operations which were not suitable for POC analysis. In this work, we constructed a three-dimensional tetrahedral DNA framework based CRISPR-electrochemical biosensor (CRISPR-E). By combining tetrahedral DNA framework, CRISPR, and electrochemical biosensor, the process of activation, cleavage of Cas13a, and signal readout were all finished on the chip, and a simple, amplification-free and sensitive detection of miRNA-19b was realized. Under the optimal experimental conditions, a linear range from 10 pM to 104 pM with detection limit of 10 pM for miRNA-19b in buffer solution was achieved. Selectivity analysis indicated that our CRISPR-E had good distinguishing ability between miRNA-19b and miRNA-197. The results of miRNA-19b detection in mimic serum samples were consistent with that of the buffer solution. This all-on-chip strategy of our CRISPR-E is very suitable for POC testing.

Abstract
In this work, an interference-resistant electrochemical aptasensor that could detect profenofos in vegetables was constructed based on complexes of graphene oxide and polyaniline (GO@PANI) and gold nanoparticles-tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (Au-TDN). Compared with a single chain aptamer, the tetrahedral DNA nanostructure is highly stable and allows the aptamer on this structure to stand in a highly ordered position on an electrode surface. Moreover, the AuNPs are biocompatible and can protect the activity of the aptamer, which can improve the assembly success rate of Au-TDN. Besides, the conductivity of PANI had been tremendously enhanced thanks to the existence of GO, which improved the dispersion of PANI. The GO@PANI was prepared by a chemical synthesis method, which had a large surface area and was able to adsorb many Au-TDN. Under optimal working parameters, the constructed aptasensor exhibited good electrochemical sensing performance with a detection limit of 10.50 pg/mL and a linear range of 1.0 × 102-1.0 × 107 pg/mL. In addition, it was employed in detecting profenofos in vegetables with a good recovery rate of 90.41-116.37 %. More importantly, the aptasensor also has excellent stability and high selectivity. This study provides a promising method to avoid interference in the detection of profenofos by sensors.

Abstract
A signal amplification sensing system with target-triggered DNA cascade reaction combined with dual-signal readout technology was designed for ultrasensitive analysis of miRNA. The highly conductive metal organic frameworks (MOFs) derivative, N-doped carbon dodecahedron (N-PCD) was deposited with gold nanoparticles as the electrode substrate, which could assist the electron transfer between the molecular probe and the electrode surface, and could remarkably enhance electrochemical response. Tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (T4-DNA) with high structural stability and mechanical stiffness was designed to improve the loading capacity and binding efficiency of the target, thus increasing the sensitivity of the system. The non-enzymatic amplification method based on the DNA cascade reaction allows the electrochemical responses from dual signal DNA probes labeled with ferrocene (Fc) and methylene blue (MB), respectively in turn to improve the reliability of detection. Under optimal conditions, the sensor has a linear range of 5-1.0 × 104 fM, and the limit of detection is as low as 1.92 fM and 3.74 fM for Fc and MB labeled probe, respectively. This strategy raises the promising application for the rapid detection of miRNA targets with low abundance in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Since 2010, DNA nanotechnology has advanced rapidly, helping overcome limitations in the use of DNA solely as genetic material. DNA nanotechnology has thus helped develop a new method for the construction of biosensors. Among bioprobe materials for biosensors, nucleic acids have shown several advantages. First, it has a complementary sequence for hybridizing the target gene. Second, DNA has various functionalities, such as DNAzymes, DNA junctions or aptamers, because of its unique folded structures with specific sequences. Third, functional groups, such as thiols, amines, or other fluorophores, can easily be introduced into DNA at the 5′ or 3′ end. Finally, DNA can easily be tailored by making junctions or origami structures; these unique structures extend the DNA arm and create a multi-functional bioprobe. Meanwhile, nanomaterials have also been used to advance plasmonic biosensor technologies. Nanomaterials provide various biosensing platforms with high sensitivity and selectivity. Several plasmonic biosensor types have been fabricated, such as surface plasmons, and Raman-based or metal-enhanced biosensors. Introducing DNA nanotechnology to plasmonic biosensors has brought in sight new horizons in the fields of biosensors and nanobiotechnology. This review discusses the recent progress of DNA nanotechnology-based plasmonic biosensors.

Abstract
Pt@CeO2 nanospheres (NSs) were first synthesized by simply mixing Ce(NO3)3 and K2PtCl4 under the protection of pure argon at 70 °C for 1 h, which exhibited excellent catalytic ability toward hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). An electrochemical biosensor was successfully developed using Pt@CeO2 NSs as a capture probe for the ultra-sensitive and fast detection of miRNA-21, a new type of biomarker for disease diagnostics, especially for cancer. During the step-by-step construction process of the RNA sensor, Pt@CeO2 NSs were functionalized with streptavidin (SA) to obtain SA-Pt@CeO2 NSs through amide bonds. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were electrodeposited on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode to improve the transmission capacity of electrons and provided Au atoms for fixing the thiolated capture probe (SH-CP) with a hairpin structure on the electrode via forming Au-S bonds. The target miRNA-21 specifically hybridized with SH-CP and opened the hairpin structure to form a rigid duplex so as to activate the biotin at the end of the capture probe. SA-Pt@CeO2 NSs were thus specially attached to the electrode surface through the biotin-streptavidin affinity interaction, finally leading to the significant signal amplification. The ultra-sensitive and rapid detection of miRNA-21 was finally realized as expected benefiting from the excellent catalytic ability of Pt@CeO2 NSs toward H2O2 in a wide linear concentration range from 10 fM to 1 nM with the detection limit as low as 1.41 fM. The results achieved with this new RNA sensor were quite satisfactory during the blood sample analysis.

Abstract
Precise microRNA (miRNA) analysis is significant importance for early disease diagnosis. Herein, a novel flexible photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for miRNA determination was developed by employing CdS NPs-modified carbon cloth (CC) on polyimide (PI) film as photoelectric material to provide the PEC responses and an efficient four-stage reaction system as the target recognition and signal amplification unit to improve the analytical performance. In this PEC biosensor, the presence of target miR-21 would trigger the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and the following hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to produce a long dsDNA labeled with numerous biotins, which would further capture a large amount of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for catalyzing the generation of ascorbic acid (AA). As an efficient electron donor, AA could be oxidized by the photoelectrode, which would initiate a redox cycling amplification process to regenerate AA, resulting in the enhancement of the photocurrent response. Benefitting from the synergistic nucleic acid-based, enzyme catalytic, and chemical signal amplification strategies, the proposed biosensing strategy enabled ultrasensitive miRNA determination. As expected, the PEC biosensor performed satisfactory analytical performances with a linear range of 1 fM to 1 nM and the detection limit down to 0.41 fM. Furthermore, the PEC biosensing strategy exhibited recommendable selectivity, stability, flexibility, and practical applicability. Therefore, this sensing platform provides promising potential for application in bioassay and early diagnosis of disease.

Abstract
G-quadruplex-based complexes have been widely used in various analytical methods due to their outstanding capabilities of generating colorimetric, fluorescent or electrochemical signals. However, since loop sequences in traditional G-quadruplex structures are quite short, it is difficult to establish biosensors solely using G-quadruplex-based complexes. Herein, we attempted to lengthen the loop sequences of G-quadruplex structures and found that G-quadruplex-hemin DNAzymes (G-DNAzymes) with long loops (even 30 nucleotides) maintain high peroxidase activity. In addition, the peroxidase activity is not affected by the hybridization of the long loop with its complementary counterpart. Consequently, G-DNAzyme can be endowed with an additional function by taking the long loop as a recognition element, which may facilitate the construction of diverse colorimetric biosensors. Furthermore, by designing an apurinic/apyrimidinic site or a complementary sequence of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) in long loops, bifunctional G-DNAzymes can be split in the presence of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) or miRNA-21, decreasing their peroxidase activities. Accordingly, APE1 and miRNA-21 are quantified using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine as a chromophore. Using the G-DNAzyme, APE1 can be detected in a linear range from 2.5 to 22.5 U mL-1 with a LOD of 1.8 U mL-1. It is to be noted that benefitting from duplex-specific nuclease-induced signal amplification, the linear range of the miRNA-21 biosensor is broadened to 5 orders of magnitude, while the limit of detection is as low as 73 fM. This work demonstrates that G-DNAzymes with long loops can both generate signals and recognize targets, providing an alternative strategy to design G-quadruplex-based analytical methods.

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

Abstract
Supramolecular DNA complexes consisting of both DNA duplexes and tetrameric G-quadruplexes are fabricated successfully by utilizing a single short DNA strand that contains one 5'-5' polarity of inversion site in the middle of G-tract. The resulting DNA supramolecules exhibit significantly high peroxidase activities after interaction with hemin due to the presence of various G-quadruplex-duplex (G4-duplex) interfaces. Significantly, we find that the addition of a C-rich fragment to the designed sequence not only allows the self-assembly of two-dimensional porous DNA nanostructures via the formation of dimeric i-motif structures but also could act as a control element to facilitate the generation of pH-sensitive G4-based DNAzymes. The enhanced catalytic activity obtained from specific sequence modifications as well as the controllable feature of these DNA nanostructures can significantly benefit further applications of DNA functional materials in complex biological systems.

Abstract
With an increasing focus on health in contemporary society, interest in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases has grown rapidly. Accordingly, the demand for biosensors for the early diagnosis of disease is increasing. However, the measurement range of existing electrochemical sensors is relatively high, which is not suitable for early disease diagnosis, requiring the detection of small amounts of biocomponents. Various attempts have been made to overcome this and amplify the signal, including binding with various labeling molecules, such as DNA, enzymes, nanoparticles, and carbon materials. Efforts are also being made to increase the sensitivity of electrochemical sensors, and the combination of nanomaterials, materials, and biotechnology offers the potential to increase sensitivity in a variety of ways. Recent studies suggest that electrochemical sensors can be a powerful tool in providing comprehensive insights into the targeting and detection of disease-associated biomarkers. Significant advances in nanomaterial and biomolecule approaches for improved sensitivity have resulted in the development of electrochemical biosensors capable of detecting multiple biomarkers in real time in clinically relevant samples. In this review, we have discussed the recent studies on electrochemical sensors for detection of diseases such as diabetes, degenerative diseases, and cancer. Further, we have highlighted new technologies to improve sensitivity using various materials, including DNA, enzymes, nanoparticles, and carbon materials.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as traditional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores have been widely applied in the analysis field. However, their ECL intensity and efficiency are still limited due to the aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) effect of PAHs. Hence, to overcome this limitation, we put forward a new strategy to increase the ECL intensity and efficiency by eliminating the ACQ effect of PAHs through the coordinative immobilization of PAHs within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). As anticipated, the proof-of-concept experiment indicated that the coordinative immobilization of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylate (PTC) into a Zn-PTC MOF could distinctly increase the ECL intensity and efficiency compared with H4PTC aggregates and H4PTC monomers. The reason for the ECL enhancement of Zn-PTC was that the immobilization of PTC within the MOF effectively amplified the distance between perylene rings of PTC ligands and thus eliminated the ACQ effect. Furthermore, the PTC into Zn-PTC was stacked in an edge-to-edge mode to form J-aggregation, which was also conducive to ECL enhancement. On the basis of the excellent ECL performance, we utilized Zn-PTC as a new ECL emitter combined with exonuclease III-stimulated target cycling and DNAzyme-assisted cycling dual amplification strategies to construct an ECL sensor for microRNA-21 detection, which had a wide signal response (100 aM to 100 pM) with a detection limit of 29.5 aM. Overall, this work represents a new and convenient method to overcome the ACQ effect of PAHs and boost the ECL performance, which opens a new horizon for developing high-performance ECL materials, thus offering more opportunities for building highly sensitive ECL biosensors.

Abstract
The early and rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is of great significance to its treatment. Here, we developed an electrochemiluminescence biosensor based on an entropy-driven strand displacement reaction (ETSD) and a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) for the detection of the potential AMI biomarker microRNA-133a. In the presence of the target, numerous Ru(bpy)32+-labeled signal probes (SP) were released from the preformed three-strand complexes through the process of ETSD. The ETSD reaction cycle greatly amplified the input signal of the target. The released SP could be captured by the TDN-engineered biosensing interface to generate a strong ECL signal. The rigid structure of TDN could significantly improve the hybridization efficiency. With the assistant of double amplification of TDN and ETSD, the developed biosensor has a good linear response ranging from 1 fM to 1 nM for microRNA-133a, and the detection limit is 0.33 fM. Additionally, the constructed biosensor has excellent repeatability and selectivity, demonstrating that the biosensor possesses a great application prospect in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is considered as one of the most widely used phthalate esters (PAEs), which has attracted worldwide concerns because of its potential threats to eco-environments and human health. Systematic investigations of DBP environmental occurrence contribute to the further risk assessment, which depends on effective and available analytical methods. In this study, an amplified ratiometric fluorescence ELISA was established for sensitive and high-throughput detection of DBP in the aquatic system based on a novel tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN)-scaffolded-DNAzyme (Tetrazyme). Wherein, Tetrazyme was prepared by the precise folding of G-quadruplex sequence on three vertex angles of the TDN, together with hemin as the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking enzyme. The rigid TDN avoided the local overcrowding effect to provide a reasonable spatial spacing on the interface for G-quadruplex sequence, increasing the collision chance between DNAzyme and substrates, improving the catalytic ability of DNAzyme effectively. Besides, streptavidin (SA) and biotin (bio) were used to anchor TDN and antibody, in which the specific binding of SA/bio could make more Tetrazyme conjugate on each signal element, resulting in the dual signal amplification. Meanwhile, the accuracy and precision were enhanced owing to the inherent built-in rectification to the environment from the dual output ratiometric fluorescence assay. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit of this proposed method was 0.17 ng/mL (16 times lower than that of conventional ELISA using the same antibody) with a satisfactory accuracy (recoveries, 79.0%- 116.2%; CV, 2.1-6.5%). Overall, this platform provides a promising way for accurate, sensitive and rapid determination of DBP from environmental waters.

Paper-Based Electrochemical Biosensors for Voltammetric Detection of miRNA Biomarkers Using Reduced Graphene Oxide or MoS 2 Nanosheets Decorated with Gold Nanoparticle Electrodes. BIOSENSORS 2021; 11:236. [PMID: 34356708 PMCID: PMC8301884 DOI: 10.3390/bios11070236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2021] [Revised: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Paper-based biosensors are considered simple and cost-efficient sensing platforms for analytical tests and diagnostics. Here, a paper-based electrochemical biosensor was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of microRNAs (miRNA-155 and miRNA-21) related to early diagnosis of lung cancer. Hydrophobic barriers to creating electrode areas were manufactured by wax printing, whereas a three-electrode system was fabricated by a simple stencil approach. A carbon-based working electrode was modified using either reduced graphene oxide or molybdenum disulfide nanosheets modified with gold nanoparticle (AuNPs/RGO, AuNPs/MoS2) hybrid structures. The resulting paper-based biosensors offered sensitive detection of miRNA-155 and miRNA-21 by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in only 5.0 µL sample. The duration in our assay from the point of electrode modification to the final detection of miRNA was completed within only 35 min. The detection limits for miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 were found to be 12.0 and 25.7 nM for AuNPs/RGO and 51.6 and 59.6 nM for AuNPs/MoS2 sensors in the case of perfectly matched probe-target hybrids. These biosensors were found to be selective enough to distinguish the target miRNA in the presence of single-base mismatch miRNA or noncomplementary miRNA sequences.

Abstract
miRNA-21 is one of the most famous and prominent microRNAs that is important in the development and emergence of cancers. So, the sensitive and selective monitoring of miRNA-21 as a very common biomarker in cancer treatment is necessary. In this work, a novel paper-based electrochemical peptide nucleic acid (PNA) sensor was developed for the detection of miRNA-21 in human plasma samples by using Ag@Au core-shell nanoparticles electrodeposited on graphene quantum dots (GQD) conductive nano-ink (Ag@Au core-shell/GQD nano-ink), which was designed directly by writing pen-on paper technology on the surface of photographic paper. This nano-ink has a great surface area for biomarker immobilization. The prepared paper-based biosensor is very small and cheap, and also has high stability and sensitivity. Hybridization of PNA was measured using various electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV) and chronoamperometry (ChA). FE-SEM (Field Scanning Electron Microscope), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), EDS and DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) tests were performed to identify the engineering safety sensor. Under optimal conditions, the linear range for the calibration curve was from 5 pM to 5 μM, and the achieved LLOQ was 5 pM. The obtained results recommended that the proposed bioassay might be suitable for an early diagnosis of cancer based on the inhibition of the expression of miRNA-21, which activates the enzyme caspase and accelerates apoptotic proteins and death in tumor cells.

Abstract
Distance-based detection methods with a quantitative readout are of great significance to point-of-care testing (POCT), are low-cost and user-friendly, and can be integrated into portable analytical devices. Here, we submit a visual quantitative distance-based sensor by capillary force alteration in a capillary tube. This sensor converts the wettability alteration caused by the target molecules into a capillary rise height signal. Moreover, the sensor profits from isothermal amplification technology, achieving the detection of miRNAs with high sensitivity and specificity by visually reading the height of the water in the capillary tube. The proposed biosensor shows great potential in routine clinical diagnosis as well as POCT in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
A facile, sensitive and unmodified Hg2+ homogeneous electrochemical sensor based on bisferrocene signal markers and catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA) was built on a gold disk electrode. Three hairpin probes were designed, in which thiol was labeled at both ends of the hairpin probe 1(HP1), while bisferrocene, a redox signal marker, was labeled at both ends of the hairpin probe 2(HP2) and hairpin probe 3(HP3). Due to the Hg2+ mediated thymine-Hg (II)-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) structure, when Hg2+ is introduced, the T-Hg2+-T that occurred between the probe DNA and helper DNA could open the hairpin structure of probe DNA and form a rigid DNA triangles structure by CHA. Simultaneously, four bisferrocene signal markers also reached the surface of the electrode and built potential-assisted Au-S self-assembly to achieve signal amplification. Under the optimized condition, the sensor can achieve good electrochemical response Hg2+detection, and the detection limit is as low as 0.6 pM. furthermore, this sensor has high selectivity for Hg2+ detection.
