[PMID: 39009333 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.119871] [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: 05/26/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
Leukemia, a type of blood cancer marked by an abnormal increase in white blood cells, poses a significant challenge to healthcare. The key to successful treatment lies in early detection. However, traditional methods often fall short. This review investigates the potential of electrochemical biosensors for a more accurate and earlier diagnosis of leukemia. Electrochemical biosensors are compact devices that transform biological interactions into electrical signals. Their small size, ease of use, and minimal sample requirements make them perfectly suited for point-of-care applications. Their remarkable sensitivity and specificity enable the detection of subtle biomolecular changes associated with leukemia, which is crucial for early disease detection. This review delves into studies that have utilized these biosensors to identify various types of leukemia. It examines the roles of electrodes, biorecognition elements, and signal transduction mechanisms. The discussion includes the integration of nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles and nitrogen-doped graphene into biosensor design. These materials boost sensitivity, enhance signal amplification, and facilitate multi-analyte detection, thereby providing a more holistic view of the disease. Beyond technical advancements, the review underscores the practical benefits of these biosensors. Their portability makes them a promising tool for resource-constrained settings, enabling swift diagnosis in remote areas or at a patient's bedside. The potential for monitoring treatment effectiveness and detecting minimal residual disease to prevent relapse is also explored. This review emphasizes the transformative potential of electrochemical biosensors in combating leukemia. By facilitating earlier and more accurate diagnosis, these biosensors stand to revolutionize patient care and enhance treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality. The discovery of microRNAs (miRs) and their unique role in cancer and other diseases has prompted the development of highly sensitive molecular diagnostic tools using nanomaterials as sensitive and specific biosensors. Among these, electrochemical biosensors, which are based on a simple and inexpensive design, make them desirable in clinical applications as well as a mass-produced point-of-care device. We review miR-based electrochemical biosensors in GI cancer and examine the use of nanoparticles in the evolving development of miR-based biosensors. Among these, a number of approaches including redox labeled probes, catalysts, redox intercalating agents and free redox indicators are highlighted for use in electrochemical biosensor technology.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as the small, non-coding, evolutionary conserved, and post-transcriptional gene regulators of the genome, have been highly associated with various diseases such as cancers, viral infections, and cardiovascular diseases. Several techniques have been established to detect miRNAs, including northern blotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and fluorescent microarray platform. However, it remains a significant challenge to develop sensitive, accurate, rapid, and cost-effective methods to detect miRNAs due to their short size, high similarity, and low abundance. The electrochemical biosensors exhibit tremendous potential in miRNA detection because they satisfy feature integration, portability, mass production, short response time, and minimal sample consumption. This article reviewed the working principles and signal amplification strategies of electrochemical DNA biosensors summarized the recent improvements. With the development of DNA nanotechnology, nanomaterials and biotechnology, electrochemical DNA biosensors of high sensitivity and specificity for microRNA detection will shortly be commercially accessible.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been studied for diagnostic purposes for decades. Their high surface-to-volume ratio, dispersibility, ability to interact with various molecules and superparamagnetic properties are at the core of what makes MNPs so promising. They have been applied in a multitude of areas in medicine, particularly Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are the most well-accepted based on their excellent superparamagnetic properties and low toxicity. Nevertheless, IONPs are facing many challenges that make their entry into the market difficult. To overcome these challenges, research has focused on developing MNPs with better safety profiles and enhanced magnetic properties. One particularly important strategy includes doping MNPs (particularly IONPs) with other metallic elements, such as cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn), to reduce the iron (Fe) content released into the body resulting in the creation of multimodal nanoparticles with unique properties. Another approach includes the development of MNPs using other metals besides Fe, that possess great magnetic or other imaging properties. The future of this field seems to be the production of MNPs which can be used as multipurpose platforms that can combine different uses of MRI or different imaging techniques to design more effective and complete diagnostic tests.

Abstract
With an increased understanding of the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer evolution, there is a growing interest in the use of these non-coding nucleic acids in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring. miRNAs embedded in extracellular vesicles (EVs) are of particular interest given that circulating EVs carry cargo that are strongly correlated to their cells of origin such as tumor cells while protecting them from degradation. As such, there is a tremendous interest in new simple-to-operate vesicular microRNA analysis tools for widespread use in performing liquid biopsies. Herein, we present a two-step competitive hybridization assay that is rationally designed to translate low microRNA concentrations to large electrochemical signals as the measured signal is inversely proportional to the microRNA concentration. Using this assay, with a limit-of-detection of 122 aM, we successfully analyzed vesicular miRNA 200b from prostate cancer cell lines and human urine samples, demonstrating the expected lower expression levels of miRNA 200b in the EVs from prostate cancer cells and in the prostate cancer patient's urine samples compared to healthy patients and non-tumorigenic cell lines, validating the suitability of our approach for clinical analysis.

Abstract
Primary liver cancer is an aggressive, lethal malignancy that ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Its 5-year mortality rate is estimated to be more than 95%. This significant low survival rate is due to poor diagnosis, which can be referred to as the lack of sufficient and early-stage detection methods. Many liver cancer-associated non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been extensively examined to serve as promising biomarkers for precise diagnostics, prognostics, and the evaluation of the therapeutic progress. For the simple, rapid, and selective ncRNA detection, various nanomaterial-enhanced biosensors have been developed based on electrochemical, optical, and electromechanical detection methods. This review presents ncRNAs as the potential biomarkers for the early-stage diagnosis of liver cancer. Moreover, a comprehensive overview of recent developments in nanobiosensors for liver cancer-related ncRNA detection is provided.

Abstract
Numerous clinical studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) are indicative biomolecules for the early diagnosis of cancer. This work aims to develop a cost-effective and label-free electrochemical biosensor to detect miRNA-21, a biomarker of breast cancer. An electrochemical sensor is fabricated using a nanocomposite, consisting of graphene (GP), polypyrrole (PPY) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), modified onto a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to improve electron transfer properties and increase the degree of methylene blue (MB) intercalation for signal amplification. The GP/PPY-modified electrode offers good electrochemical reactivity and high dispersibility of AuNPs, resulting in excellent sensor performance. Peak current of the MB redox process, which is proportional to miRNA-21 concentration on the electrode surface, is monitored by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under optimal conditions, this sensor is operated by monitoring the MB signal response due to the amount of hybridization products between miRNA-21 target molecules and DNA-21 probes immobilized on the electrode. The proposed biosensor reveals a linear range from 1.0 fM to 1.0 nM with a low detection limit of 0.020 fM. In addition, the miRNA-21 biosensor provides good selectivity, high stability, and satisfactory reproducibility, which shows promising potential in clinical research and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important biomarkers for the early detection of various diseases, especially cancer. Therefore, there is a continuing interest in different biosensing strategies that allow for the point-of-care measurement of miRNAs. Almost all miRNA sensors utilize cross-hybridization of the target miRNA with a capture probe for the recognition, which can be designed in either a sandwich or a competitive format. In this work, we present a low-cost microfluidic biosensor platform for the electrochemical measurement of miRNA-197 (a tumor biomarker candidate) in undiluted human serum samples, operating with very low sample volumes (580 nl) and a sample-to-result time of one hour. For this purpose, different on-chip miRNA bioassays based on sandwich and competitive formats are developed and compared in terms of their sensitivity, dynamic range, selectivity, precision, and simplicity. The obtained results show that, despite having a narrower dynamic range when compared to the competitive format, the sandwich assay has superior performance regarding its sensitivity and selectivity. The lowest limit of detection which can be achieved with the sandwich assay is 1.28 nM (0.74 fmole), while 4.05 nM (2.35 fmole) with the competitive format. Moreover, the sandwich assay proves to have a better distinction against single-base mismatch oligonucleotide sequences compared to the competitive one. Due to its versatility and easy handling, overcoming the issue with the sensitivity, the implemented electrochemical microfluidic biosensor could pave the way for rapid and low-cost on-site miRNA diagnostics.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor inducible-14 (Fn14) is a receptor protein that plays an important role in the progression of cancer and some other diseases. Here, an ultrasensitive assay was developed for the detection of Fn14 based on a digital sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent bead-based assay (dELISA). Beads containing a single immunocomplex are loaded into microwells (~46 fL) and produce fluorescence through enzyme-catalyzed reactions in extremely small volumes. By measuring the number of fluorescent microwells in arrays arranged on a circular Disc, the concentration of Fn14 was determined. To obtain better performance for Fn14 detection, assay conditions including reagent concentrations and measurement parameters were optimized and 44 different antibody pairs were screened. The detection range of Fn14 is 1.26 pg/mL to 3683 pg/mL with a lower detection limit of 0.32 pg/mL, which is much lower than that of conventional ELISAs. In addition, the total operation of this assay is automated and only takes approximately an hour to accomplish. Furthermore, this assay was successfully applied to the determination of spiked Fn14 in serum samples with satisfactory performance.

Abstract
Nanotechnology plays an undeniable significant role in medical sciences, particularly in the field of biomedicine. Development of several diagnostic procedures in medicine has been possible through the beneficial application of nano-materials, among which electrochemical nano-biosensors can be mentioned. They can be employed to quantify various clinical biomarkers in detection, evaluation, and follow up stages of the illnesses. MicroRNAs, a group of regulatory short RNA fragments, added a new dimension to the management and diagnosis of several diseases. Mature miRNAs are single-stranded RNA molecules approximately 22 nucleotides in length, which regulate a vast range of biological functions from cellular proliferation and death to cancer development and progression. Recently, diagnostic value of miRNAs in various diseases has been demonstrated. There are many traditional methods for detection of miRNAs including northern blotting, quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR), microarray technology, nanotechnology-based approaches, and molecular biology tools including miRNA biosensors. In comparison with other techniques, electrochemical nucleic acid biosensor methods exhibit many interesting features, and could play an important role in the future nucleic acid analysis. This review paper provides an overview of some different types of nanotechnology-based biosensors for detection of miRNAs.

Abstract
A high-throughput and sensitive fluorimetric analysis method has been developed with wettable microwells array for probing short-chain microRNAs (miRNAs) in blood using silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) with red fluorescence amplified and stabilized by metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Glass slides were first spotted with polyacrylic acid to form hydrophilic microdots and then patterned with hydrophobic hexadecyltrimethoxysilane, followed by etching the microdots to yield the microwells array. Furthermore, the DNA capture probes with silver-binding G sequences were covalently bound onto the functionalized microwells to hybridize with targeting miRNAs. Exonuclease I catalytic digestion was then conducted to remove any single-strand DNA probes unhybridized. Eventually, AgNCs were applied to specifically recognize the G sequences of DNA probes survived to be further coated with MOFs of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8). Unexpectedly, the red fluorescence of AgNCs probes could be dramatically enhanced due to the "electron-donor effect" of nitrogen-containing ligands of ZIF-8 coatings, together with improved sensing stability. High detection sensitivity and reproducibility could thereby be expected for detecting miRNAs in the blood with the concentrations linearly ranging from 0.175 to 500 pM. Markedly different from the common sandwiched DNA detection methods, the developed fluorimetric strategy using AgNCs coated with MOFs and DNA probes designed with silver-recognizing sequences would be tailored for quantifying various kinds of short-chain miRNAs with low levels in the complicated blood media.

Abstract
A label-free electrochemical miRNA biosensor was developed based on a pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acid (acpcPNA)/polypyrrole (PPy)/silver nanofoam (AgNF) modified electrode. The AgNF was electrodeposited as redox indicator on a gold electrode, which was then functionalized with an electropolymerized layer of PPy, a conducting polymer, to immobilize the PNA probes. The fabrication process was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The biosensor was used to detect miRNA-21, a biomarker abnormally expressed in most cancers. The signal was monitored by the change in current of the AgNF redox reaction before and after hybridization using cyclic voltammetry. Two PNA probe lengths were investigated and the longer probe exhibited a better performance. Nucleotide overhangs on the electrode side affected the signal more than overhangs on the solution side due to the greater insulation of the sensing surface. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical signal was proportional to miRNA-21 concentrations between 0.20fM and 1.0nM, with a very low detection limit of 0.20fM. The biosensor showed a high specificity which could discriminate between complementary, single-, doubled-base mismatched, and non-complementary targets. Three out of the seven tested plasma samples provided detectable concentrations (63 ± 4, 111 ± 4 and 164 ± 7fM). The sensor also showed good recoveries (81-119%). The results indicated the possibilities of this biosensor for analysis without RNA extraction and/or amplification, making the sensor potentially useful for both the prognosis and diagnosis of cancer in clinical application.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) play multiple crucial regulating roles in cell which can regulate one third of protein-coding genes. MiRNAs participate in the developmental and physiological processes of human body, while their aberrant adjustment will be more likely to trigger diseases such as cancers, kidney disease, central nervous system diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, viral infections and so on. What's worse, for the detection of miRNAs, their small size, high sequence similarity, low abundance and difficult extraction from cells impose great challenges in the analysis. Hence, it's necessary to fabricate accurate and sensitive biosensing platform for miRNAs detection. Up to now, researchers have developed many signal-amplification strategies for miRNAs detection, including hybridization chain reaction, nuclease amplification, rolling circle amplification, catalyzed hairpin assembly amplification and nanomaterials based amplification. These methods are typical, feasible and frequently used. In this review, we retrospect recent advances in signal amplification strategies for detecting miRNAs and point out the pros and cons of them. Furthermore, further prospects and promising developments of the signal-amplification strategies for detecting miRNAs are proposed.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths all over the world. miR-106a is a circulatory oncogenic microRNA (miRNA), which overexpresses in various malignancies, especially in GC. In this study, an ultrasensitive electrochemical nanobiosensor was developed for the detection of miR-106a using a double-specific probe methodology and a gold-magnetic nanocomposite as tracing tag. The successful modification of the electrode and hybridization with the target miRNA were confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for quantitative evaluation of miR-106a via recording the reduction peak current of gold nanoparticles. The electrochemical signal had a linear relationship with the concentration of the target miRNA ranging from 1 × 10-3 pM to 1 × 103 pM, and the detection limit was 3 × 10-4 pM. The proposed miRNA-nanobiosensor showed remarkable selectivity, high specificity, agreeable storage stability, and great performance in real sample investigation with no pretreatment or amplification. Consequently, our biosensing strategy offers such a promising application to be used for clinical early detection of GC and additionally the screen of any miRNA sequence.

Cumbersome, expensive and time consuming detection techniques presently available for detection of breast cancer potentiates the need for development of novel, specific and ultrasensitive devices. Biosensors are the promising and selective detection devices which hold immense potential as point of care (POC) tools. Present review comprehensively scrutinizes various breast cancer biosensors developed so far and their technical evaluation with respect to efficiency and potency of selected bioreceptors and biotransducers. Use of glycoproteins, DNA biomarkers, micro-RNA, circulatory tumor cells (CTC) and some potential biomarkers are introduced briefly. The review also discusses various strategies used in signal amplification such as nanomaterials, redox mediators, p19 protein, duplex specific nucleases (DSN) and redox cycling.

Abstract
A nanomotor-based strategy for rapid single-step intracellular biosensing of a target miRNA, expressed in intact cancer cells, at the single cell level is described. The new concept relies on the use of ultrasound (US) propelled dye-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)/graphene-oxide (GO) coated gold nanowires (AuNWs) capable of penetrating intact cancer cells. Once the nanomotor is internalized into the cell, the quenched fluorescence signal (produced by the π-π interaction between GO and a dye-labeled ssDNA) is recovered due to the displacement of the dye-ssDNA probe from the motor GO-quenching surface upon binding with the target miRNA-21, leading to an attractive intracellular "OFF-ON" fluorescence switching. The faster internalization process of the US-powered nanomotors and their rapid movement into the cells increase the likelihood of probe-target contacts, leading to a highly efficient and rapid hybridization. The ability of the nanomotor-based method to screen cancer cells based on the endogenous content of the target miRNA has been demonstrated by measuring the fluorescence signal in two types of cancer cells (MCF-7 and HeLa) with significantly different miRNA-21 expression levels. This single-step, motor-based miRNAs sensing approach enables rapid "on the move" specific detection of the target miRNA-21, even in single cells with an extremely low endogenous miRNA-21 content, allowing precise and real-time monitoring of intracellular miRNA expression.
