摘要
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are attractive candidates for biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis, and play vital roles in physiological and pathological processes. In this work, we developed a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-mode sensor for miRNA detection based on the optical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-assisted signal amplification technique. In brief, FAM labelled hairpin probes (HPs) were immobilized on AuNPs, and fluorescence was efficiently quenched by the vicinity of the fluorophores to the AuNPs surface. In the presence of target miRNAs, the HPs could specifically hybridize with miRNAs and the DNA strand in the DNA/RNA heteroduplexes could be subsequently hydrolyzed by DSN. As a result, numbers of fluorophores were released into the solution, resulting in obvious fluorescence signal recovery. Meanwhile, the target miRNAs were able to participate in other hybridization reactions. With the DSN-assisted signal amplification technique, lots of gold nanoparticles were produced with short-chain DNA on their surface, which could aggregate in salt solution and result in a colorimetric detection. The proposed dual-mode strategy offers a sensitive, accurate and selective detection method for miRNAs. One reason is that the stem of the HPs was elaborately designed to avoid hydrolyzation by DSN under optimal conditions, which ensures a relatively low background and high sensitivity. The other is that the dual-mode strategy is more beneficial for enhancing the accuracy and reproducibility of the measurements. Moreover, the unique selective-cutting ability and single-base mismatch differentiation capability of the DSN also give rise to a satisfactory selectivity. This demonstrated that the developed method could quantitatively detect miR-21 down to 50 pM with a linear calibration range from 50 pM to 1 nM, and the analytical assay of target miRNAs in cell lysate samples revealed its great potential for application in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.
