Orthometric multicolor encoded hybridization chain reaction amplifiers for multiplexed microRNA profiling in living cells.

ABSTRACT: Multiplexed microRNA (miRNA) profiling of more than four types in living cells is challenging due to fluorescent spectral overlap, representing a significant limitation in studying the complex interactions related to the occurrence and development of diseases. Herein, we report a multiplexed fluorescent imaging strategy based on an orthometric multicolor encoded hybridization chain reaction amplifier named multi-HCR. The targeting miRNA can trigger this multi-HCR strategy due to the specific sequence recognition, and then its self-assembly to amplify the programmability signals. We take the four-colored chain amplifiers, showing that the multi-HCR can form 15 combinations simultaneously. In a living process of hypoxia-induced apoptosis and autophagy under complicated mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum stress, the multi-HCR demonstrates excellent performance in detecting eight different miRNA changes. The multi-HCR provides a robust strategy for simultaneously profiling multiplexed miRNA biomarkers in studying complicated cellular processes.

Project description:In the continuous combat against diseases, there is the need for tools that enable an improved diagnostic efficiency towards higher information density combined with reduced time-to-result and cost. Here, a novel fully integrated microfluidic platform, the Evalution™, is evaluated as a potential solution to this need. Encoded microparticles combined with channel-based microfluidics allow a fast, sensitive and simultaneous detection of several disease-related biomarkers. Since the binary code is represented by physically present holes, 210 different codes can be created that will not be altered by light or chemically induced degradation. Exploiting the unique features of this multiplex platform, hybridization chain reaction (HCR) is explored as a generic approach to reach the desired sensitivity. Compared to a non-amplified reference system, the sensitivity was drastically improved by a factor of 104, down to low fM LOD values. Depending on the HCR duration, the assay can be tuned for sensitivity or total assay time, as desired. The huge potential of this strategy was further demonstrated by the successful detection of a multiplex panel of six different nucleic acid targets including viruses and bacteria. The ability to not only discriminate these two categories but, with the same effort, also virus strains (human adenovirus and human bocavirus), virus subtypes (human adenovirus type B and D) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Streptococcus pneumonia), exemplifies the specificity of the developed approach. The effective, yet highly simplified, isothermal and protein-enzyme-free signal amplification tool reaches an LOD ranging from as low as 33 ± 4 to 151 ± 12 fM for the different targets. Moreover, direct detection in a clinically relevant sample matrix was verified, resulting in a detection limit of 309 ± 80 fM, approximating the low fM levels detectable with the gold standard analysis method, PCR, without the drawbacks related to protein enzymes, thermal cycling and elaborate sample preparation steps. The reported strategy can be directly transferred as a generic approach for the sensitive and specific detection of various target molecules in multiplex. In combination with the high-throughput capacity and reduced reagent consumption, the Evalution™ demonstrates immense potential in the next generation of diagnostic tools towards more personalized medicine.
