Abstract
Understanding the growth of mesoporous crystalline materials, such as mesoporous metals, on different substrates can provide valuable insights into the crystal growth dynamics and the redox reactions that influence their electrochemical sensing performance. Herein, it is demonstrated how the amorphous nature of the glass substrate can suppress the typical <111> oriented growth in mesoporous Au (mAu) films. The suppressed <111> growth is manifested as an accumulation of strain, leading to the generation of abundant surface defects, which are beneficial for enhancing the electrochemical activity. The fine structuring attained enables dramatically accelerated diffusion and enhances the electrochemical sensing performance for disease-specific biomolecules. As a proof-of-concept, the as-fabricated glass-grown mAu film demonstrates high sensitivity in electrochemical detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific RNA with a limit of detection (LoD) as low as 1 attomolar (aM).

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for accurate, miniaturized, and cost-effective gas sensing systems has eclipsed basic research across many disciplines. Along with the rapid progress in nanotechnology, the latest development in gas sensing technology is dominated by the incorporation of nanomaterials with different properties and structures. Such nanomaterials provide a variety of sensing interfaces operating on different principles ranging from chemiresistive and electrochemical to optical modules. Compared to thick film and bulk structures currently used for gas sensing, nanomaterials are advantageous in terms of surface-to-volume ratio, response time, and power consumption. However, designing nanostructured gas sensors for the marketplace requires understanding of key mechanisms in detecting certain gaseous analytes. Herein, we provide an overview of different sensing modules and nanomaterials under development for sensing critical gases in the mining industry, specifically for health and safety monitoring of mining workers. The interactions between target gas molecules and the sensing interface and strategies to tailor the gas sensing interfacial properties are highlighted throughout the review. Finally, challenges of existing nanomaterial-based sensing systems, directions for future studies, and conclusions are discussed.

Abstract
This study showed a method of synthetization of a methylene blue-functionalized DNA concatemer via hybridization chain reaction (HCR) used for turn-off fluorescence detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). During the experiments, CEA aptamers and the methylene blue-functionalized DNA concatemer were modified onto the surface of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). By detecting the signal of remaining methylene blue in the solution that has not been embedded in the DNA concatemer, we obtained an amplified decrease of the fluorescence signal at 695 nm for CEA. The linear range was from 0.1 to 80 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection at 75 pg mL-1 for CEA determination. Our results showed that the proposed method had good selectivity and could generate satisfactory results for clinical serum sample determination. Based on the positive outcomes obtained, we determined that the method provided a sensitive and accurate way for early clinical diagnosis of cancer disease.

Abstract
Natural enzymes are crucial in biological systems and widely used in biology and medicine, but their disadvantages, such as insufficient stability and high-cost, have limited their wide application. Since Fe3O4 nanoparticles were found to show peroxidase-like activity, researchers have designed and developed a growing number of nanozymes that mimic the activity of natural enzymes. Nanozymes can compensate for the defects of natural enzymes and show higher stability with lower cost. Iron, a nontoxic and low-cost transition metal, has been used to synthesize a variety of iron-based nanozymes with unique structural and physicochemical properties to obtain different enzymes mimicking catalytic properties. In this perspective, catalytic mechanisms, activity modulation, and their recent research progress in sensing, tumor therapy, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory applications are systematically presented. The challenges and perspectives on the development of iron-based nanozymes are also analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
Infectious diseases such as novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), Influenza, HIV, Ebola, etc kill many people around the world every year (SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, Ebola in 2013, HIV in 1980, Influenza in 1918). For example, SARS-CoV-2 has plagued higher than 317 000 000 people around the world from December 2019 to January 13, 2022. Some infectious diseases do not yet have not a proper vaccine, drug, therapeutic, and/or detection method, which makes rapid identification and definitive treatments the main challenges. Different device techniques have been used to detect infectious diseases. However, in recent years, magnetic materials have emerged as active sensors/biosensors for detecting viral, bacterial, and plasmids agents. In this review, the recent applications of magnetic materials in biosensors for infectious viruses detection have been discussed. Also, this work addresses the future trends and perspectives of magnetic biosensors.

Abstract
Flexible and implantable electronics hold tremendous promises for advanced healthcare applications, especially for physiological neural recording and modulations. Key requirements in neural interfaces include miniature dimensions for spatial physiological mapping and low impedance for recognizing small biopotential signals. Herein, a bottom-up mesoporous formation technique and a top-down microlithography process are integrated to create flexible and low-impedance mesoporous gold (Au) electrodes for biosensing and bioimplant applications. The mesoporous architectures developed on a thin and soft polymeric substrate provide excellent mechanical flexibility and stable electrical characteristics capable of sustaining multiple bending cycles. The large surface areas formed within the mesoporous network allow for high current density transfer in standard electrolytes, highly suitable for biological sensing applications as demonstrated in glucose sensors with an excellent detection limit of 1.95 µm and high sensitivity of 6.1 mA cm-2 µM-1 , which is approximately six times higher than that of benchmarking flat/non-porous films. The low impedance of less than 1 kΩ at 1 kHz in the as-synthesized mesoporous electrodes, along with their mechanical flexibility and durability, offer peripheral nerve recording functionalities that are successfully demonstrated in vivo. These features highlight the new possibilities of our novel flexible nanoarchitectonics for neuronal recording and modulation applications.

Abstract
MicroRNA-21 (miRNA-21) is a common biomarker with high expression in breast tumors. Therefore, sensitive detection of miRNA-21 is of great significance for clinical breast tumor diagnosis. A TH/rGO/CMK-3/AuNPs nanocomposite is composed of thionine (TH), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which help to increase the specific surface area of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and to amplify the DPV signal. Meanwhile, methylene blue (MB) was combined with the capture probe guanine and absorbed by the composite material to mediate the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) of the obtained miRNA biosensor. The current response decreased with increasing miRNA-21 concentration under optimal conditions. The biosensor responds to miRNA-21 in the 0.1fM-1 pM concentration range, and the detection limit (LOD) was 0.046 fM. Moreover, human serum samples were effectively detected utilizing the miRNA-21 biosensor with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Abnormal expression of microRNA-21 (miR-21) is considered to be closely associated with the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. However, great challenges do exist for the development of ultra-sensitive biosensors to detect the abnormal expression of miR-21 due to the low concentration in serum (fm level) at the early stage of colorectal cancer. Therefore, electric field force is used to rotate and rearrange random multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at the microscale to improve the active sites of the electrode in this study. The free-standing MWCNTs are densely and high-orderly embedded into the bare electrode along the direction of the electric field. Compared to the bare electrode, the peak-current response of the free-standing MWCNT electrode improves by 150 times in cyclic voltammetric measurement. A nano-genosensor based on the free-standing MWCNT electrode is developed for measuring miR-21. The nano-genosensor for miR-21 shows an ultra-high sensitivity of 48.24 µA µm-1 , a wide linear range from 0.01 × 10-15 to 100 × 10-12 m, and a low detection limit of 1.2 × 10-18 m. The present nano-genosensor shows superior performance for miR-21 in human serum samples and demonstrates a potential application for the diagnosis of early stage colorectal cancer.

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
L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (L-dopa) is the most widely used drug in Parkinson's disease treatment. However, development of cost-effective and high-throughput sensors to accurate enantioselective discrimination of L-dopa and D-dopa remains challenging to date. Herein, on the basis of the peroxidase-mimic activity of chiral FexCuySe nanoparticles, we demonstrated a novel colorimetric sensor for determination of chiral dopa. The surface chiral ligand, L/D-histidine (L/D-His), endowed the nanozymes with enantioselectivity in catalyzing the oxidation of dopa enantiomers. According to the values ofkcat/Km, the efficiency of L-His modified nanoparticles (L-FexCuySe NPs) towards L-dopa was 1.56 times higher than that of D-dopa. While, D-His can facilely reverse the preference of the nanozyme to D-dopa. On the basis of high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of L-FexCuySe NPs in oxidation of L-dopa, the L-FexCuySe NPs-based system can be utilized for detection of L-dopa. The linear ranges for L-dopa determination were 5μM-0.125 mM and 0.125 mM-1 mM with a detection limit of 1.02μM. Critically, the developed sensor has been successfully applied in the quality control of clinical used L-dopa tablets. Our work sheds light on developing simple and sensitive chiral nanomaterials-based sensors for drug analysis.

Abstract
Electrochemical nanosensors by integrating functional nucleic acids and nanomaterials hold a great promise in the fast detection of biomarkers, yet the current systems possess limitations on the accessibility of target-probe and probe-electrode interactions and the repeatability of detection. Herein, a host-guest assembly strategy is developed to build redox nanosensors for an immobilization-free and ratiometric electrochemical detection system. Specifically, electroactive molecule (Em ) guests are loaded in porous hosts of polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA) to act as dual-signal redox reporters. Hybrid DNA probes of G-quadruplex and a single-stranded anchor DNA are installed as gatekeepers for sealing the mesopores. Thereby, miRNA triggered Em release by strand displacement reactions and the homogeneous transportation of the hosts/guests to the electrode facilitate the generation of reference signal/response signal at different potentials. Concomitantly applied NIR irradiation boosts the electron transfer from MPDA to the electrode and results in a tenfold increase in the reference signal. Finally, the sensing system through the differential pulse voltammetry method achieves a highly repeatable detection (relative standard deviation 3.8%) of miRNA with a lower detection limit (362 × 10-15 m). This attractive system paves the way for rational designs of advanced electrochemical biosensors and smart diagnosis.

Abstract
We present a novel amplification-free sandwich type platform assay for electrochemical detection of miRNA. The assay is based on T4 DNA polymerase mediated synthesis of the p53 binding DNA sequence at the 3' end of target miRNA. The resulting miRNA-DNA chimera is detected via an electrochemical sandwich hybridization assay where HRP-labelled p53 binds to its recognition sequence and an amperometric signal is generated by hydroquinone-mediated enzymatic reduction of H2O2. The limit of detection of our assay was estimated to be 22 fM with a linear dynamic range of 100 fM-1 nM. This new platform method of detecting miRNA shows superior performance to conventional electrochemical miRNA biosensors and has the potential for amplification-free analysis of miRNA with high specificity and sensitivity.

Abstract
We designed and fabricated a novel label-free ultrasensitive tapered optical fiber (TOF) plasmonic biosensor that successfully detected a five panel of microRNAs with good selectivity. The biosensing platform integrates three different metallic nanoparticles: gold spherical nanoparticles (AuNPs), gold nanorods (AuNRs), and gold triangular nanoprisms (AuTNPs) laminated TOF to enhance the evanescent mode. The dip in the intensity profile of the transmission spectrum corresponded to the specific wavelength of the nanoparticle. The AuTNPs laminated TOF was found to exhibit the highest refractive index sensitivity and was therefore used to assay the panel of microRNAs. Single stranded DNA probes were self-assembled on the AuTNPs TOF plasmonic biosensors to achieve the highest sensitivity from the formation of hydrogen bonds between the ssDNAs and the target microRNAs. Experimentally, we observed that by measuring the spectral shifts, a limit of detection (LOD) between 103 aM and 261 aM for the panel of microRNAs can be achieved. Additionally, the ssDNA layer immobilized on the TOF plasmonic biosensor resulted in an extended dynamic range of 1 fM - 100 nM. In human serum solution, clinically relevant concentration of the panel of microRNAs were successfully detected with a LOD between 1.097 fM to 1.220 fM. This is the first report to demonstrate the applicability of our TOF plasmonic biosensor approach to detect a panel of microRNAs. This simple yet highly sensitive approach can provide a high-throughput and scalable sensor for detecting and quantifying large arrays of microRNAs, thereby expanding the applications of biosensors.

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
Authentication, detection and quantification of ingredients, and adulterants in food, meat, and meat products are of high importance these days. The conventional techniques for the detection of meat species based on lipid, protein and DNA biomarkers are facing challenges due to the poor selectivity, sensitivity and unsuitability for processed food products or complex food matrices. On the other hand, DNA based molecular techniques and nanoparticle based DNA biosensing strategies are gathering huge attention from the scientific communities, researchers and are considered as one of the best alternatives to the conventional strategies. Though nucleic acid based molecular techniques such as PCR and DNA sequencing are getting greater successes in species detection, they are still facing problems from its point-of-care applications. In this context, nanoparticle based DNA biosensors have gathered successes in some extent but not to a satisfactory stage to mark with. In recent years, many articles have been published in the area of progressive nucleic acid-based technologies, however there are very few review articles on DNA nanobiosensors in food science and technology. In this review, we present the fundamentals of DNA based molecular techniques such as PCR, DNA sequencing and their applications in food science. Moreover, the in-depth discussions of different DNA biosensing strategies or more specifically electrochemical and optical DNA nanobiosensors are presented. In addition, the significance of DNA nanobiosensors over other advanced detection technologies is discussed, focusing on the deficiencies, advantages as well as current challenges to ameliorate with the direction for future development.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key regulatory roles in a number of biological processes, which act as critical biomarkers for clinical diagnosis. There are urgent needs to develop advanced tools for accurate and convenient analysis of miRNA in biological circumstances. In this study, an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor for miRNA assay is fabricated. Tetrahedral DNA modified gold nanoparticles tags are applied with optimized orientation, which are able to recruit a large number of electrochemical species for remarkable signal responses. Benefiting from the excellent amplification efficiency of the association of strand displacement amplification and catalyzed hairpin assembly, the established method shows ultrahigh sensitivity with the limit of detection as low as 10 aM. A wide linear range from 10-17 to 10-7 M is achieved. In addition, this method is capable to specifically discriminate interfering miRNAs with slightly different sequences. The successful assessment of miRNA levels in human serum samples also demonstrates good practical utility. Therefore, the proposed method has great potential to the applications of miRNA expression profiling and biological studies.

Abstract
Herein, we report the preparation of mesoporous gold (Au)-silver (Ag) alloy films through the electrochemical micelle assembly process and their applications as microRNA (miRNA) sensors. Following electrochemical deposition and subsequent removal of the templates, the polymeric micelles can create uniformly sized mesoporous architectures with high surface areas. The resulting mesoporous Au-Ag alloy films show high current densities (electrocatalytic activities) towards the redox reaction between potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide. Following magnetic isolation and purification, the target miRNA is adsorbed directly on the mesoporous Au-Ag film. Electrochemical detection is then enabled by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox system (the faradaic current for the miRNA-adsorbed Au-Ag film decreases compared to the bare film). The films demonstrate great advantages towards miRNA sensing platforms to enhance the detection limit down to attomolar levels of miR-21 (limit of detection (LOD) = 100 aM, s/n = 3). The developed enzymatic amplification-free miniaturized analytical sensor has promising potential for RNA-based diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major leading cause of kidney failure. So, early detection of DN by assessing urinary microRNAs (miRNAs) expression may be of clinical value. In this study, the diagnostic value of two urinary miRNAs (miR-210 & miR-34a) as biomarkers for diagnosis of DN was assessed using a simple colorimetric gold nanoparticle (AuNP) assay and real-time PCR. MiR-(210 & 34a) were markedly up-regulated in DN groups (micro-albuminuric and macro-albuminuric groups) compared to the non-albuminuric group and healthy controls. The sensitivity and specificity for the qualitative detection of urinary miR-(210 & 34a) using the AuNP assay were (78% and 72%) & (81% and 69%), respectively, which were consistent with the results of real-time PCR. There was a highly significant correlation between urinary miR-(210 & 34a) detected by either qRT-PCR or qualitative AuNP assay. Accordingly, this simple AuNP assay may be considered a valid test for the detection of these two urinary miRNAs as potential biomarkers that can aid in the noninvasive diagnosis of DN.

An enzyme-free electrochemical biosensor based on target-catalytic hairpin assembly and Pd@UiO-66 for the ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-21. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1138:59-68. [PMID: 33161985 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.09.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has been widely investigated as important biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a highly sensitive nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensor based on Pd@metal-organic frameworks (Pd@UiO-66) and target-catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) with target recycling approach has been proposed for the detection of miR-21. The proposed biosensor integrates the efficient CHA strategy and excellent electrocatalytic performance of Pd@UiO-66 nanocomposites. The concentration of miRNA-21 is related to the amount of the adsorbed electrocatalyst, leading to the different electrochemical signals for readout towards paracetamol (AP). This biosensor shows a low limit of detection of 0.713 fM with the dynamic range of 20 fM -600 pM under the optimal experimental conditions, providing a powerful platform for detecting miR-21. Furthermore, the designed biochemical self-assembly strategy of this electrochemical biosensor is promising candidate for potential applications in the analysis of other important genetic biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancers.

Abstract
A hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification-based electrochemical impedimetric biosensor is fabricated for the quick, sensitive, and specific detection of miRNA-21 (miR-21) via monitoring of electrode interfacial property changes in real-time. Two sequences of H1 and H2 are adopted to trigger HCR amplification. A large amount of linear DNA concatemer are formed which could change the interfacial properties of the electrode. Interfacial charge transfer resistance difference (Rct) is probed via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Randles equivalent circuit. After amplifying via HCR, oligonucleotides with negatively charged repelling [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- ions can form a spatial blockage. HCR amplification strategy markedly enhanced the electrochemical signal with a limit of detection (LOD) down to 4.63 fM (S/N = 3). This strategy exhibited excellent selectivity for three different miRNAs: miR-199a, miR-141, and miR-155. Moreover, results show that the proposed method can be applied to miR-21 detection in the total RNA extracted from five cells. This work presents an enzyme-free and label-free EIS nucleic acid sensor for sensitively and selectively detecting miR-21, offering a promising approach in early diseases diagnosis.

Abstract
In recent years, a new group of nanomaterials named nanozymes that exhibit enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity has emerged as a promising alternative to natural enzymes. Nanozymes can address some of the intrinsic limitations of natural enzymes such as high cost, low stability, difficulty in storage, and specific working conditions (i.e., narrow substrate, temperature and pH ranges). Thus, synthesis and applications of hybrid and stimuli-responsive advanced nanozymes could revolutionize the current practice in life sciences and biosensor applications. On the other hand, electrochemical biosensors have long been used as an efficient way for quantitative detection of analytes (biomarkers) of interest. As such, the use of nanozymes in electrochemical biosensors is particularly important to achieve low cost and stable biosensors for prognostics, diagnostics, and therapeutic monitoring of diseases. Herein, we summarize the recent advances in the synthesis and classification of common nanozymes and their application in electrochemical biosensor development. After briefly overviewing the applications of nanozymes in non-electrochemical-based biomolecular sensing systems, we thoroughly discuss the state-of-the-art advances in nanozyme-based electrochemical biosensors, including genosensors, immunosensors, cytosensors and aptasensors. The applications of nanozymes in microfluidic-based assays are also discussed separately. We also highlight the challenges of nanozyme-based electrochemical biosensors and provide some possible strategies to address these limitations. Finally, future perspectives on the development of nanozyme-based electrochemical biosensors for disease biomarker detection are presented. We envisage that standardization of nanozymes and their fabrication process may bring a paradigm shift in biomolecular sensing by fabricating highly specific, multi-enzyme mimicking nanozymes for highly sensitive, selective, and low-biofouling electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Although microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as increasingly important target analytes, their biorecognition remains challenging due to their small size, high sequence homology, and low abundance in clinical samples. Nanospheres and microspheres have also gained increasing attention in biosensor applications due to their high specific surface area and the wide variety of compositions available. In this study, chemically designed and synthesized microspheres with active functional groups were used to promote effective miRNA immobilization resulting in better biorecognition. Upon conjugation with fluorescence-labeled complimentary probes, acylate-based spheres have indirectly detected MiR159, offering significantly enhanced analytical sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy while yielding a considerably low limit of detection (LOD) of 40 picomolar. Furthermore, MiR159 presence, which is known to be inversely correlated to breast cancer incidence and progression, was successfully detected in a competitive assay, which is promising for upgrading the current assay to clinical use.

Abstract
Early detection and effective treatment are crucial to reduce the physical, emotional, and financial pressure exerted by growing cancer burden on individuals, families, communities, and health systems. Currently, it is clear that the accurate analysis of emerging cancer epigenetic and metastatic-related biomarkers at different molecular levels is envisaged as an exceptional solution for early and reliable diagnosis and the improvement of therapy efficiency through personalized treatments. Within this field, electrochemical biosensing has demonstrated to be competitive over other emerging and currently used methodologies for the determination of these biomarkers accomplishing the premises of user-friendly, multiplexing ability, simplicity, reduced costs and decentralized analysis, demanded by clinical oncology, thus priming electrochemical biosensors to spark a diagnostic revolution for cancer prediction and eradication. This review article critically discusses the main characteristics, opportunities and versatility exhibited by electrochemical biosensing, through highlighting representative examples published during the last two years, for the reliable determination of these emerging biomarkers, with great diagnostic, predictive and prognostic potential. Special attention is paid on electrochemical affinity biosensors developed for the single or multiplexed determination of methylation events, non-coding RNAs, ctDNA features and metastasis-related protein biomarkers both in liquid and solid biopsies of cancer patients. The main challenges to which further work must be addressed and the impact of these advances should have in the clinical acceptance of these emerging biomarkers are also discussed which decisively will contribute to understand the molecular basis involved in the epigenetics and metastasis of cancer and to apply more efficient personalized therapies.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical DNA biosensor was developed and MON89788 of soybean transgenic gene sequence was detected based on a strategy of rolling circle amplification (RCA) and gold nanoparticle cube (AuNPC)-labeled multiple probes. First, the mercapto-modified capture DNA was immobilized on the surface of the Fe3O4@Au magnetic nanoparticles via an Au-S bond, and the capture DNA was opened and complementarily hybridized with the target DNA to form a double-stranded DNA. In the 10 × reaction buffer, Exonuclease III (ExoIII) specifically recognized and sheared the double-stranded DNA to release the target DNA, which led to the next round of reaction. Afterward, AuNP cube-loaded ssDNA (AuNPC/DNA) was added with the rolling circle reaction with the help of Phi29 DNA polymerase and T4 ligase. Finally, [Ru(NH3)6]3+ was attracted directly by the anionic phosphate of ssDNA via electrostatic interaction. The determination was carried out by using chronocoulometry (CC), and the CC signal was recorded. The mass amount of DNA strands extended infinitely on the AuNPs cube and numerous [Ru(NH3)6]3+ were absorbed, thus the detected signal was highly amplified. The corresponding CC signal showed a good linear relationship with the logarithm of the target DNA concentration in the range of 1 × 10-16 to 1 × 10-7 mol L-1, with a detection limit of 4.5 × 10-17 mol L-1. Specific gene sequence of MON89788 in soybean samples was determined, and the recoveries ranged from 97.3% to 102.0%. This sensor is one of the most sensitive sensors for genetic sequence assessment at present. Moreover, it demonstrates good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Liquid biopsy is a new diagnostic concept that provides important information for monitoring and identifying tumor genomes in body fluid samples. Detection of tumor origin biomolecules like circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor specific nucleic acids (circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor RNA (ctRNA), microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lnRNAs)), exosomes, autoantibodies in blood, saliva, stool, urine, etc. enables cancer screening, early stage diagnosis and evaluation of therapy response through minimally invasive means. From reliance on painful and hazardous tissue biopsies or imaging depending on sophisticated equipment, cancer management schemes are witnessing a rapid evolution towards minimally invasive yet highly sensitive liquid biopsy-based tools. Clinical application of liquid biopsy is already paving the way for precision theranostics and personalized medicine. This is achieved especially by enabling repeated sampling, which in turn provides a more comprehensive molecular profile of tumors. On the other hand, integration with novel miniaturized platforms, engineered nanomaterials, as well as electrochemical detection has led to the development of low-cost and simple platforms suited for point-of-care applications. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the biogenesis, significance and potential role of four widely known biomarkers (CTCs, ctDNA, miRNA and exosomes) in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. Furthermore, we provide a detailed discussion of the inherent biological and technical challenges associated with currently available methods and the possible pathways to overcome these challenges. The recent advances in the application of a wide range of nanomaterials in detecting these biomarkers are also highlighted.

Abstract
As a kind of important potential biomarkers, the expression level of some microRNAs (miRNAs) is closely related to cancer development and progression. Herein, a reusable ultra-sensitive "fuel-loadings" bioluminescent sensor was constructed to detect the trace miRNA based on the cascading signal amplification, which combined the target-introducing "fuel-loading" mechanism and cyclic bioluminescence assay. In this sensor, magnetic beads labeled with hairpin DNA probes (hDNA) could specifically hybridize with the target miRNA and isolate these targets from samples. Then, the target-introducing "fuel loading" mechanism worked because the poly(A) polymerase can catalyze the template-independent sequential addition of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to the 3' ends of the miRNA targets to produce long poly(A) tails. The long poly(A) tails provided lots of 5'AMPs (cleaved by Exonuclease T), which further as fuels were converted into adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) to generate an enhanced bioluminescent signal by cyclic AMP pyrophosphorylation-ATP dephosphorylation. The "fuel-loadings" bioluminescent sensor realized a high sensitivity with a limit-of-detection of about 22.6 aM for miRNA 21. Moreover, this "fuel-loadings" bioluminescent sensor not only achieved regenerable and reusable measurement in the same microwell to decrease the analysis costs, but also could directly detect miRNA 21 in the serum without complicated extraction procedures. It showed excellent coherence with quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for miRNA 21 detection of cancer patients' samples, indicating clinical translation potential for miRNA detection.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive PCR-free microRNA (miR) analysis based on biosensors with enzyme-free nucleic acid amplification and reusable surface has great clinical significance in cancer prognosis. However, building such a biosensing strategy has long been challenging due to uncontrollable miR-triggered cascade amplifiers and insufficient sensing surface regeneration capability. To meet the challenge, for the first time, a general approach, named enzyme-free multitag-regulated cascade reaction (MCR), is developed to fabricate reliable trace miR biosensors. As a proof of concept, miR let-7a is detected on an evanescent wave fluorescent optical-fiber biosensing platform. The size and morphology of well-formed MCR assemblies (∼1 μm in length) are characterized by atomic force microscopy. This MCR method achieves a 30 000-fold improved sensitivity (detection limit 0.8 fM) compared to the MCR-free system and can detect abnormal urinary miR levels in lung cancer patients. Moreover, the biosensor is robust enough to be reused for over 100 cycles, which greatly reduces the cost of single detection. In sum, MCR is developed as a generalizable ultrasensitive miR biosensing approach for cancer prognosis, which opens a broad field for facile enzyme-free biosensing applications by nucleic acid assembling regulation.

Anal Biochem 2019; 585:113346. [PMID: 31401004 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2019.113346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2019] [Revised: 06/22/2019] [Accepted: 06/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The variations in microRNA (miRNA) expression levels can be useful biomarkers for the diagnosis of different cancers. In this work, a label-free and sensitive fluorescent method for detection of miRNA-21 is described based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) assist target recycling and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) induced copper nanoclusters (CuNCs). In the absence of target, the 3'-phosphorylated probe DNA cannot be hydrolyzed by DSN and extended by TdT, and failed to synthesizing fluorescent CuNCs. However, the target miRNA-21 can caused the digestion of probe DNA with DSN, releasing primer DNA with 3'-OH. After that, the primer DNA can forms long poly T with the assistance of TdT, leading to synthesize high fluorescent CuNCs. The fluorescence change of CuNCs can be used to identify the concentration of target miRNA-21. Under optimal experimental conditions, this strategy could quantitatively detect miRNA-21 down to 18.7 pM. We have also demonstrated the practical application of our proposed method for monitoring miRNA-21 expression levels in cancer cells. Moreover, this method show good specificity for miRNA-21 detection due to the strong preference of DSN for cutting perfectly matched DNA/RNA duplex, which holds great potential for highly specific quantification of biomarkers in bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
This work presents crystalline SiC-on-glass as a transparent, robust, and optically stable electrode for simultaneous electrochemical characterization and optical microscope imaging. Experimental results show a large potential window, as well as excellent stability and repeatability over multiple cyclic voltammetric scans in common redox biomarkers such as ruthenium hexaammine and methylene blue. The high optical transmittance and biocompatibility of SiC-on-glass were also observed, enabling cell culture, electrical stimulation, and high resolution fluorescence imaging. This new platform opens exciting opportunities in multi-functional biosensing-probes and observation.

Abstract
Over the decades, the biological role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression has been discovered in many cancer types, thus initiating the tremendous expectation of their application as biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. Hence, the development of efficient miRNA detection methods in vitro is in high demand. Extensive efforts have been made based on the intrinsic properties of miRNAs, such as low expression levels, high sequence homology, and short length, to develop novel in vitro miRNA detection methods with high accuracy, low cost, practicality, and multiplexity at point-of-care settings. In this review, we mainly summarized the newly developed in vitro miRNA detection methods classified by three key elements, including biological recognition elements, additional micro-/nano-materials and signal transduction/readout elements, their current challenges and further applications are also discussed.

Abstract
A novel microRNA (miRNA) quantification method has been developed using one-step rolling circle-quantitative PCR (RC-qPCR) analysis. Vent (exo-) DNA polymerase is firstly utilized to combine a rolling circle amplification (RCA) and qPCR in one step with high sensitivity and specificity in our RC-qPCR assay. Before performing the RC-qPCR, a padlock probe is ligated only when it is perfectly hybridized with miRNA. This ligation-based miRNA assay is highly specific for mature miRNAs, discriminating among related miRNAs that differ by as little as one nucleotide. It exhibits a dynamic range of seven orders of magnitude with a detection limit of 500 aM, and could be also used for the quantification of other small RNA molecules such as short interfering RNAs (siRNAs).

Abstract
With revolutionary advances in next-generation sequencing, the human transcriptome has been comprehensively interrogated. These discoveries have highlighted the emerging functional and regulatory roles of a large fraction of RNAs suggesting the potential they might hold as stable and minimally invasive disease biomarkers. Although a plethora of molecular-biology- and biosensor-based RNA-detection strategies have been developed, clinical application of most of these is yet to be realized. Multifunctional nanomaterials coupled with sensitive and robust electrochemical readouts may prove useful in these applications. Here, we summarize the major contributions of engineered nanomaterials-based electrochemical biosensing strategies for the analysis of miRNAs. With special emphasis on nanostructure-based detection, this review also chronicles the needs and challenges of miRNA detection and provides a future perspective on the presented strategies.

Abstract
Au-FexOy nanocomposites with a variable gold-to-iron ratio were stabilized with l-tryptophan. The synthetic methodology is based on the facile redox reaction between Au(III) and Fe(0) in the presence of gold nanoparticle as a seed at room temperature in an aqueous medium. The synthesis results in the deposition of Au nanoparticles on the surface of iron oxide layers. Composition variation in the nanocomposites was obtained by controlling the seed amount and reducing agent. These nanocomposites are used as electrocatalysts for the thermodynamically unfavorable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) from water. Among the nanocomposites, the most efficient OER activity was observed from the nanocomposite 12. The content of iron with respect to gold is at the maximum in the nanocomposite, which was obtained from the reaction with a minimum seed concentration and maximum reducing agent.

Abstract
DNA methylation is one of the significant epigenetic modifications involved in mammalian development as well as in the initiation and progression of various diseases like cancer. Over the past few decades, an enormous amount of research has been carried out for the quantification of DNA methylation in the mammalian genome. Earlier, most of these methodologies used bisulfite treatment. However, the low conversion, false reading, longer assay time and complex chemical reaction are the common limitations of this method that hinder their application in routine clinical screening. Thus, as an alternative to bisulfite conversion-based DNA methylation detection, numerous bisulfite-free methods have been proposed. In this regard, electrochemical biosensors have gained much attention in recent years for being highly sensitive yet cost-effective, portable, and simple to operate. On the other hand, biosensors with optical readouts enable direct real time detection of biological molecules and are easily adaptable to multiplexing. Incorporation of electrochemical and optical readouts into bisulfite free DNA methylation analysis is paving the way for the translation of this important biomarker into standard patient care. In this review, we provide a critical overview of recent advances in the development of electrochemical and optical readout based bisulfite free DNA methylation assays.

Abstract
Herein, we have developed an ultrasensitive self-powered biosensor for miRNA assay based on biofuel cells. The system is composed of indium tin oxide cathode and graphene oxide/gold nanoparticle/glucose oxidase anode. Redox probe of [Fe(CN)6]3- is entrapped inside porous Fe3O4 nanoparticles by DNA. However, in the presence of target miRNA, hybridization reaction occurs between miRNA and DNA, which initiates the release of [Fe(CN)6]3-. Moreover, duplex specific nuclease is further employed to trigger target recycling amplification. As a result, much more redox probes are released and the open circuit voltage is significantly increased. A "signal-on" self-powered biosensor for miRNA quantification is thus developed. The detection range is from 10 aM to 10 fM; meanwhile, the limit of detection is as low as 1.4 aM, which is superior to that in most reported methods. Therefore, the proposed biosensor is expected to be a powerful point-of-care tool for miRNA diagnostics, which may have wide applications in the future.
