Abstract
Considerable advances have been made in the research and development of oligonucleotide therapeutics (OTs) for treating central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, because of their promising mode of action. However, due to the tight barrier function and complex physiological structure of the CNS, the efficient delivery of OTs to target the brain has been a major challenge, and intensive efforts have been made to overcome this limitation. In this review, we summarize the representative methodologies and current knowledge of biodistribution, along with the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship of OTs in the CNS, which are critical elements for the successful development of OTs for CNS diseases. First, quantitative bioanalysis methods and imaging-based approaches for the evaluation of OT biodistribution are summarized. Next, information available on the biodistribution profile, distribution pathways, quantitative PK/PD modeling, and simulation of OTs following intrathecal or intracerebroventricular administration are reviewed. Finally, the latest knowledge on the drug delivery systems to the brain via intranasal or systemic administration as noninvasive routes for improved patient quality of life is reviewed. The aim of this review is to enrich research on the successful development of OTs by clarifying OT distribution profiles and pathways to the target brain regions or cells, and by identifying points that need further investigation for a mechanistic approach to generate efficient OTs.

Abstract
Quantification of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) or viral RNAs is of great significance because of their broad relevance to human health. Currently, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), as well as microarray and gene sequencing, are considered mainstream techniques for miRNA identification and quantitation and the gold standard for SARS-CoV2 detection in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, these laboratory techniques are challenged by the low levels and wide dynamic range (from aM to nM) of miRNAs in a physiological sample, as well as the difficulty in the implementation in point-of-care settings. Here, we describe a one-step label-free electrochemical sensing technique by assembling self-folded multi-stem DNA-redox probe structure on gold microelectrodes and introducing a reductant, tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), in the detection buffer solution to achieve ultrasensitive detection with a detection limit of 0.1 fM that can be further improved if needed.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has been widely used in nucleic acid assay because of its high specificity, sensitivity, and isothermal property. However, the complexity of amplification product detection is still a major challenge for its wide applications. Herein, we developed a light scattering technology-assisted, low-cost, and simple detection manner of LAMP products without expensive reagents and complicated instruments. Only needing to add a kind of strong acid to the amplification products, the amplification products can aggregate into large particles in a strongly acidic medium, and large particles can produce strong light scattering, which shows a good proportional relationship with the number of amplification products in a wide range. The proposed method shows excellent sensitivity and high specificity that can quantify RNA as low as 100 aM with a single-base resolution.

Abstract
Microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) play significant roles in the regulation of biological processes and in responses to biotic or abiotic environmental stresses. Therefore, it is necessary to quantitatively detect miRNAs to understand these complicated biological regulation mechanisms. This study established an ultrasensitive and highly specific method for the quantitative detection of miRNAs using simple operations on the ground of the ligation reaction of ribonucleotide-modified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) probes. This method avoids the complex design of conventional reverse transcription. In the developed assay, the target miRNA miR156b was able to directly hybridize the two ribonucleotide-modified DNA probes, and amplification with universal primers was achieved following the ligation reaction. As a result, the target miRNA could be sensitively measured even at a detection limit as low as 0.0001 amol, and differences of only a single base could be detected between miR156 family members. Moreover, the proposed quantitative method demonstrated satisfactory results for overexpression-based genetically modified (GM) soybean. Ligation-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) therefore has potential in investigating the biological functions of miRNAs, as well as in supervising activities regarding GM products or organisms.

Abstract
A cross-triggered and cascaded recycling amplification system was developed for electrochemical sensing of microRNA 122 based on the DNAzyme/multicomponent nucleic acid enzyme cleavage technique and a dumbbell-shaped probe. The linear range and detection limit were obtained to be 1 fM-100 pM and 0.34 fM, respectively. Compared with some reported studies, the proposed system can achieve the selective detection of endogenous miRNA in liver injury patients and healthy human serums with the advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, and easy manipulation, which are significant for disease diagnosis as well as the fundamental research of molecular biology.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has been increasingly applied in nucleic acid detection for clinical diagnosis and monitoring pathogenic microorganisms due to its isothermal nature and high sensitivity. However, the false-positive signal resulting from the non-specific amplification and the complexity of primer design are still technically challenging for wide applications. In this paper, we developed the CRISPR/Cas12a-assisted sequence-specific detection of LAMP products to eliminate the effect of non-specific amplification from primer dimers and spurious amplicons. Moreover, by designing a pair of target-specific stem-loop DNA probes, we greatly simplified the primer design for LAMP. The DNA probes could be ligated to form a double-stem-loop DNA template by the detected target, which initiated LAMP reaction and achieved one-nucleotide resolution due to the highly specific ligase reaction. Using microRNAs (miRNAs) as the model targets, the CRISPR/Cas12a-assisted ligation-initiated loop-mediated isothermal amplification (CAL-LAMP) can sensitively detect as low as 0.1 fM miRNAs with high specificity.

Abstract
MicroRNA detection is currently a crucial analytical chemistry challenge: almost 2000 papers were referenced in PubMed in 2018 and 2019 for the keywords "miRNA detection method". MicroRNAs are potential biomarkers for multiple diseases including cancers, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Since miRNAs are stably released in bodily fluids, they are of prime interest for the development of non-invasive diagnosis methods, such as liquid biopsies. Their detection is however challenging, as high levels of sensitivity, specificity and robustness are required. The analysis also needs to be quantitative, since the aim is to detect miRNA concentration changes. Moreover, a high multiplexing capability is also of crucial importance, since the clinical potential of miRNAs probably lays in our ability to perform parallel mapping of multiple miRNA concentrations and recognize typical disease signature from this profile. A plethora of biochemical innovative detection methods have been reported recently and some of them provide new solutions to the problem of sensitive multiplex detection. In this review, we propose to analyze in particular the new developments in multiplexed approaches to miRNA detection. The main aspects of these methods (including sensitivity and specificity) will be analyzed, with a particular focus on the demonstrated multiplexing capability and potential of each of these methods.

Abstract
A novel reverse transcription-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) strategy for miRNA detection has been developed. This method consists of two stem-loop probes inspired by the dumbbell-shaped amplicons and inner primers used in conventional LAMP reactions. Termed "terminal hairpin formation and self-priming" (THSP), this reaction incorporates phosphorothioated (PS) modifications to achieve DNA folding and extension without primers. The final signal is monitored by a sequence-specific detection probe, which minimizes the background noise. We suggest that our rapid, facile, and reliable LAMP method will be a promising candidate for detecting miRNA in biomedical applications.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been considered as promising molecular biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis, as well as drug development. Herein, we wish to report a low background and label-free aptamer-based biosensor for miRNA assay by RNA-regulated fluorescence of malachite green (MG). In this biosensor-based strategy, target miRNA can specifically hybridize with the DNA extension template to form the T7 in vitro transcription system. Then the following transcription amplification produces a large number of MG RNA aptamers (MGAs) which light up the fluorescence of the MG, achieving significant fluorescence enhancement for miRNA quantitative analysis. The aptamer-based biosensor exhibits high sensitivity with a quite low detection limit of 10 amol target miRNA and high specificity to clearly discriminate very similar miRNA family members, even only one base difference. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that the biosensor is practical and reliable for the quantitative detection of miRNA in complex real samples.

Abstract
Exon 2 deletion of aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex-interacting multifunctional protein 2 (AIMP2) is a genetic deletion related to various cancers, for instance ovarian and lung cancers. It can be worked as an indicator of cancer for diagnosis of diseases. Here, we developed a label-free method based on the formation of split G-quadruplex in the presence of target DNA combined with strand displacement to detect exon 2 deletion of AIMP2 (DE2) sensitively and selectively. This method is easy-operating and cost-saving. Moreover, it has observed discrimination of gene deletion from wild-types by naked eyes. The results demonstrate that this strategy can be further used for the detection of different gene deletions to achieve early diagnosis of diseases and allow better prognosis.

Abstract
Epstein Barr-virus (EBV) was the first virus identified to be associated with human cancer in 1964 and is found ubiquitously throughout the world's population. It is now established that EBV contributes to the development and progression of multiple human cancers of both lymphoid and epithelial cell origins. EBV encoded miRNAs play an important role in tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, immune escape, tissue invasion, and metastasis. Recently, EBV miRNAs have been found to be released from infected cancer cells in extracellular vesicles (EVs) and regulate gene expression in neighboring uninfected cells present in the tumor microenvironment and possibly at distal sites. As EVs are abundant in many biological fluids, the viral and cellular miRNAs present within EBV-modified EVs may serve as noninvasion markers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this review, we discuss recent advances in EV isolation and miRNA detection, and provide a complete workflow for EV purification from plasma and deep-sequencing for biomarker discovery.

A novel and highly sensitive method for detection of microRNA (miRNA) was developed by integration of T7 exonuclease-triggered amplification and cationic conjugated polymer (CCP) biosensing. First, a fluorescein-labeled probe was designed with the complementary sequence to the target miRNA. When target miRNA was absent in the solution, the fluorescence probe interacted with CCP through the strong electrostatic interactions, leading to the highly efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from CCP to fluorescein. In the presence of target miRNA, the probe hybridized with the miRNA to form DNA/miRNA duplex hybrids. Then, T7 exonuclease digested cyclically the fluorescence probes in hybrids and triggered the enzyme amplification reaction, generating a large number of single nucleotides. Owing to the weak electrostatic interaction between CCP and the single nucleotide, the FRET from CCP to fluorescein would not take place, which effectively reduced the background and significantly enhanced the sensitivity and the dynamic range of miRNA detection. The linear range of the assay was 0.2-100 pM and the detection limit 0.08 pM was 58 times lower than that of the endonuclease-based assay. The method is simple, cost-effective, and with no need for the sophisticated instrument, and has broad application prospects for miRNA detection and early diagnosis.

Nicking-enhanced rolling circle amplification for sensitive fluorescent detection of cancer-related microRNAs. Anal Bioanal Chem 2018; 410:6819-6826.

Abstract
In this study, a biosensing system based on nicking-enhanced rolling circle amplification (N-RCA) was proposed for the highly sensitive detection of cancer-related let-7a microRNA (miRNA). The sensing system consists of a padlock probe (PP), which contains a target recognition sequence and two binding sites for nicking endonuclease (NEase), and molecular beacon (MB) as reporting molecule. Upon hybridization with let-7a, the PP can be circularized by ligase. Then, the miRNA acted as polymerization primer to initiate rolling circle amplification (RCA). With the assistance of NEase, RCA products can be nicked on the cyclized PP and are displaced during the subsequent duplication process, generating numerous nicked fragments (NFs). These NFs not only induce another RCA reaction but also open the molecular beacons (MBs) via hybridization, leading to significantly amplified fluorescence signal. Under the optimized conditions, this method exhibits high sensitivity toward target miRNA let-7a with a detection limit of as low as 10 pM, a dynamic range of three orders of magnitude is achieved, and its family member is easily distinguished even with only one mismatched base. Meanwhile, it displays good recovery and satisfactory reproducibility in fetal bovine serum (FBS). Therefore, these merits endow the newly proposed N-RCA strategy with powerful implications for miRNA detection.

Abstract
A versatile flow cytometric strategy is developed for the sensitive detection of plant microRNA (miRNA) by coupling the target-templated click nucleic acid ligation (CNAL) with on-bead terminal enzymatic DNA polymerization (TEP). Unlike ligase-catalyzed ligation reaction, the plant miRNA-templated enzyme-free CNAL between two single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes, respectively modified with Aza-dibenzocyclooctyne (Aza-DBCO) and N3, can not only simplify the operation, but also achieve a much higher ligation efficiency. More importantly, the undesirable nonspecific ligation between the Aza-DBCO- and N3-modified ssDNA, can be effectively eliminated by adding Tween-20, which allows the use of cycling CNAL (CCNAL) in a background-free manner. So each plant miRNA can template many rounds of CNAL reaction to produce numerous ligation products, forming efficient signal amplification. The ligated ssDNA can be anchored on the magnetic beads (MBs) with the 3'-OH termini exposed outside. Then terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), a sequence-independent and template-free polymerase, would specifically catalyze the DNA polymerization along these 3'-OH termini on the MBs, forming poly(T) tails up to thousands of nucleotides long. Each poly(T) tail allows specific binding of numerous 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled poly(A)25 oligonucleotides to accumulate a lot of fluorophores on the MBs, leading to the second step of signal amplification. By integrating the advantages of CCNAL-TEP for highly efficient signal amplification and robust MBs signal readout with powerful flow cytometer, high sensitivity is achieved and the detection limit of plant miRNA has been pushed down to a low level of 5 fM with high specificity to well discriminate even single-base difference between miRNA targets.

Abstract
Here we establish an ultrasensitive quantitation assay for accurately determining N6-methyladenosine at one-nucleotide resolution in RNA.
N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most frequent post-transcriptional modification in RNA, and it plays a critical role in biological processes. The functions of m6A remain largely unexplored due to a lack of highly sensitive methods to quantitatively determine the m6A modification fraction at a precise location. Here, we first reveal that T3 DNA ligase has significant selectivity towards the m6A modification. On the basis of the new finding, we establish an ultrasensitive quantitation assay for accurately determining m6A at one-nucleotide resolution in RNA. With the proposed assay, as low as 4 fM RNA containing m6A can be determined and the selectivity is up to 54.1-fold to discriminate m6A against unmodified adenosine (A). The sensitivity has been improved about 106-fold so the proposed method can be successfully employed to accurately determine m6A in real biological samples, even in low abundance RNA.

Single-step, homogeneous and sensitive detection for microRNAs with dual-recognition steps based on luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) using upconversion nanoparticles. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 100:475-481.

Abstract
A single-step, homogeneous and sensitive LRET assay is presented for the detection of miRNAs. The amplification-free assay provides a unique combination of high specificity with dual-recognition approach of different hybridization and ligation steps and preventing background auto-fluorescence in biological samples using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as signal-producing nanoprobes. The assay probe is composed of signal-producing unit (a pair of homogeneous upconversion luminescence resonance energy transfer (UC-LRET)-based oligonucleotides) and recognition unit (two adaptor oligonucleotides). In the presence of target miRNAs, the probe and target miRNAs leads to the formation of stable double-strands and semi-stable adaptor-miRNAs complexes with an adaptor nick. Ligation of the nick using ligase cause the formation of stable double-strands, resulting in UCNPs-to-dye UC-LRET for detection of the miRNAs with near-infrared radiation (980nm). Sensitive detection of miRNA-21 at concentrations of 200pM to 1.4nM and detection limits of 0.095nM with good precision of 3.9% (RSD) for seven repeated measurements of 500pM miRNAs demonstrate the feasibility of both high throughput and point-of-care clinical diagnostics. The homogeneous UC-LRET assay without any washing can be extended to the application in other important types of nucleic acid analysis.

Abstract
Alternative messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing is a basic mechanism of gene regulation. In general, reverse transcription and polymerase based primer extension limit the sensitivity and selectivity of the current detection of mRNA splice variants, respectively. Here, we show that, using the ligation of two properly designed probes at the exon junction combined with universal PCR amplification, as little as a single copy of a mRNA splice variant per cell can be accurately determined, and the dynamic range covers six orders of magnitude. Three mRNA splice variants were measured from total RNA samples derived from different cell lines. Moreover, by encoding the ligation probes with different lengths, multiplexed mRNA splice variants can be simultaneously detected in one-tube PCR amplification using electrophoretic separation.

Abstract
Quantification of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) is of great interest because of their potentials as disease biomarkers. Currently, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and microarray are considered mainstream techniques for miRNA identification and quantitation. However, these techniques are challenged by the low levels and wide dynamic range (from aM to nM) of miRNAs in a physiological sample, as well as the difficulty in the implementation in point-of-care settings. Here, we describe a one-step label-free electrochemical sensing technique by assembling a triple-stem DNA-redox probe structure on a gold microelectrode and introducing a reductant, tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) in the detection buffer solution to achieve ultrasensitive miRNAs detection with a detection limit of 0.1 fM.

Abstract
Real-time PCR has revolutionized PCR from qualitative to quantitative. As an isothermal DNA amplification technique, rolling circular amplification (RCA) has been demonstrated to be a versatile tool in many fields. Development of a simple, highly sensitive, and specific strategy for real-time monitoring of RCA will increase its usefulness in many fields. The strategy reported here utilized the specific fluorescence response of thioflavin T (ThT) to G-quadruplexes formed by RCA products. Such a real-time monitoring strategy works well in both traditional RCA with linear amplification efficiency and modified RCA proceeded in an exponential manner, and can be readily performed in commercially available real-time PCR instruments, thereby achieving high-throughput detection and making the proposed technique more suitable for biosensing applications. As examples, real-time RCA-based sensing platforms were designed and successfully used for quantitation of microRNA over broad linear ranges (8 orders of magnitude) with a detection limit of 4 aM (or 0.12 zmol). The feasibility of microRNA analysis in human lung cancer cells was also demonstrated. This work provides a new method for real-time monitoring of RCA by using unique nucleic acid secondary structures and their specific fluorescent probes. It has the potential to be extended to other isothermal single-stranded DNA amplification techniques.

Abstract
A simple, visual, and specific method for simultaneous detection of multiplex microRNAs (miRNAs) has been developed by integrating duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-induced amplification with cationic conjugated polymer (CCP) materials. The probe DNA with a complementary sequence to target miRNA is labeled with fluorescein dye (FAM). Without target miRNA, the single-strand DNA probe cannot be digested by DSN. Upon adding CCPs, efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from CCP to FAM occurs owing to strong electrostatic interactions between CCP and the DNA probe. In the presence of target miRNA, the DNA probe hybridizes with target miRNA followed by digestion to small nucleotide fragments by DSN; meanwhile, the miRNA is released and subsequently interacts again with the probe, resulting in the cycled digestion of the DNA probe. In this case, weak electrostatic interactions between oligonucleotide fragments and CCP lead to inefficient FRET from CCP to FAM. Thus, by triggering the FRET signal from CCP to FAM, miRNA can be specially detected, and the fluorescence color change based on FRET can be visualized directly with the naked eye under an UV lamp. Furthermore, an energy transfer cascade can be designed using CCP and DNA probes labeled at the 5'-terminus with FAM and Cy3 dyes, and the multistep FRET processes offer the ability of simultaneous detection of multiplex miRNAs.

Abstract
Technical advances and demands for high-throughput accurate quantification of oligonucleotide therapeutics and biomarkers in pharmaceutical research and clinical diagnosis have aided evolution in quantitative bioanalysis of oligonucleotides. Many bioanalytical methods are available for absolute quantification of oligonucleotides in biological matrices. They can be broadly classified into two categories: hybridization-based assays commonly used by molecular biologists and chromatographic assays routinely used by chemists. Each category has its own advantages and disadvantages for specific applications. This review summarizes the mechanisms and applications of some of the current most commonly used techniques in each category.

Abstract
Better detections of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as disease biomarkers could advance diseases diagnosis and treatment. Current analysis methods or sensors for research and applications are challenged by the low concentrations and wide dynamic range (from aM to nM) of miRNAs in a physiological sample. Here, we report a one-step label-free electrochemical sensor comprising a triple-stem DNA-redox probe structure on a gold microelectrode. A new signal amplification mechanism without the need of a redox enzyme is introduced. The novel strategy overcomes the fundamental limitations of microelectrode DNA sensors that fail to generate detectable current, which is primarily due to the limited amount of redox probes in response to the target analyte binding. By employing a reductant, tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) in the detection buffer solution, each redox molecule on the detection probe is cyclically oxidized at the electrode and reduced by the reductant; thus, the signal is amplified in situ during the detection period. The combined merits in the diagnosis power of cyclic voltammetry and the high sensitivity of pulse voltammetry enable parallel analysis for method validation and optimization previously inaccessible. As such, the detection limit of miRNA-122 was 0.1 fM via direct readout, with a wide detection range from sub fM to nM. The detection time is within minutes, which is a significant improvement over other macroscopic sensors and other relevant techniques such as quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The high selectivity of the developed sensors is demonstrated by the discrimination against two most similar family sequences: miR-122-3p present in serum and 2-mismatch synthetic RNA sequence. Interference such as nonspecific adsorption, a common concern in sensor development, is reduced to a negligible amount by adopting a multistep surface modification strategy. Importantly, unlike qRT-PCR, the microelectrochemical sensor offers direct absolute quantitative readout that is amenable to clinical and in-home point-of-care (POC) applications. The sensor design is flexible, capable of being tailored for detection of different miRNAs of interest. Combined with the fact that the sensor was constructed at microscale, the method can be generalized for high throughput detection of miRNA signatures as disease biomarkers.

Abstract
The importance of microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation for the development and progression of diseases and the discovery of stable miRNAs in peripheral blood have made these short-sequence nucleic acids next-generation biomarkers. Here we present a fully homogeneous multiplexed miRNA FRET assay that combines careful biophotonic design with various RNA hybridization and ligation steps. The single-step, single-temperature, and amplification-free assay provides a unique combination of performance parameters compared to state-of-the-art miRNA detection technologies. Precise multiplexed quantification of miRNA-20a, -20b, and -21 at concentrations between 0.05 and 0.5 nM in a single 150 μL sample and detection limits between 0.2 and 0.9 nM in 7.5 μL serum samples demonstrate the feasibility of both high-throughput and point-of-care clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, the study of miRNAs has attracted tremendous attention since they regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and have been demonstrated to be dysregulated in many diseases. Detection methods with higher sensitivity, specificity and selectivity between precursors and mature microRNAs are urgently needed and widely studied. This review gave an overview of the amplification-based technologies including traditional methods, current modified methods and the cross-platforms of them combined with other techniques. Many progresses were found in the modified amplification-based microRNA detection methods, while traditional platforms could not be replaced until now. Several sample-specific normalizers had been validated, suggesting that the different normalizers should be established for different sample types and the combination of several normalizers might be more appropriate than a single universal normalizer. This systematic overview would be useful to provide comprehensive information for subsequent related studies and could reduce the un-necessary repetition in the future.

Abstract
A simple and homogeneous microRNA assay is developed by integration of ligase chain reaction (LCR) and lambda exonuclease-assisted cationic conjugated polymer (CCP) biosensing. LCR is utilized for exponential amplification of microRNA, and lambda exonuclease is introduced to degrade excess fluorescein-labeled probes in LCR for eliminating background signal. After addition of CCP, efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer from CCP to fluorescein in LCR products occurs. The method is sensitive enough to detect 0.1 fM target microRNA and specific to discriminate one-base difference of microRNAs, which paves a new way for homogeneous microRNA detection and molecular diagnosis.

Abstract
Rapid and simple methods for microRNA (miRNA) detection are essential for biological research of miRNAs and clinical diagnosis. Here we describe a sensitive and specific real time RT-PCR (also RT-qPCR) method for miRNA quantification. The whole detection process including reverse transcription and PCR is performed in one PCR tube by a one-step operation on a real-time PCR system. The results display a wide linear range from 0.1 amol to 10 fmol with a detection limit of 12.6 zmol for miRNA let-7a detection. Let-7a in small RNA samples extracted from tumor cells has been successfully detected by this method. This method is cost-effective, simple and rapid, and has the advantages in the high-throughput routing assay of given miRNAs, as well as in non-model research that has less specific kits and reagents.

Abstract
Based on the high efficiency of fluorescence quenching and the different affinities of water-soluble carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) towards single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA/RNA hybrid, a novel, rapid and cost-effective assay for detection of microRNA and nuclease activity was developed. The fluorescein-labeled ssDNA probe (FAM-P) could be adsorbed on the surface of CNPs through π-π stacking interaction giving rise to fluorescence quenching. By introduction of microRNA complementary to the DNA probe, the double-stranded DNA/miRNA hybrid could be formed and released from the surface of CNPs resulting in the fluorescence recovery. Thus, microRNA was successfully detected in homogenous fashion without any amplification or enzyme-involving reactions. Moreover, we demonstrated that the nuclease activities of RNase H and DNase I could also be sensitively monitored by using CNPs based on the fluorescence changing of the DNA probe. So, the CNPs provide an excellent homogeneous sensing platform for studying molecular diagnosis and therapeutics.
