Gold Nanoparticle-Based Enzyme-Assisted Cyclic Amplification for the Highly-Sensitive Detection of miRNA-21.

ABSTRACT: Because microRNAs (miRNAs) are biological indicators for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of tumors, cancers, and other diseases, it is significant to develop a rapid, sensitive, and reliable miRNA detection platform. In this study, based on miRNA-21 detection, DNA-a with a 3' end overhang and Texas Red fluorophore-labeled 5' end was designed, which reacts with miRNA-21 and hybridizes with exonuclease III (Exo III), where the part connected to miRNA-21 is hydrolyzed, leaving a-DNA. At the same time, miRNA-21 is released to participate in the following reaction, to achieve cyclic amplification. a-DNA reacts with DNA-b conjugated to gold nanoparticles to achieve fluorescence quenching, with the quenching value denoted as F; additionally, after adding DNA-d and linked streptavidin immunomagnetic beads (SIBs), fluorescence recovery was achieved using DNA-c, with the recovered fluorescence recorded as F₀. By comparing the difference in the fluorescence (F₀ - F) between the two experiments, the amount of DNA-a hydrolyzed to produce a-DNA was established to determine the target miRNA-21 content. Under optimized conditions, by comparing the changes in the fluorescence signal, the developed strategy shows good sensitivity and repeatability, with a detection limit of 18 pM, good discriminative ability and selectivity, and promise for the early diagnosis of breast and intestinal cancers.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD), a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with the loss of neurons in the brain, is the most pervasive type of dementia; 47 million people are affected, and the number is expected to increase to more than 131 million by 2050, according to Alzheimer's Disease International. Both early diagnosis and continuous monitoring are crucial for early intervention, symptomatic treatment, monitoring of the efficacy of intervention and improved patient function. Beta-amyloid peptide, tau, and phosphorylated tau are useful for screening and diagnosis; meanwhile, simultaneous assessment of multiple biomarkers is of paramount importance for accurate disease diagnosis. Methods: Herein, we report a direct, inexpensive and ultrasensitive aptamer-based multiplex assay for the quantification of trace amounts of AD biomarkers in both human serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. In this newly developed assay, molecular recognition of an antibody-aptamer pair provides high specificity in target detection, and the use of a DNA amplification strategy affords high sensitivity, allowing quantification of AD biomarkers in both biological fluids in 1.5 h with only a diminutive amount of the sample consumed. A tailor-made turn-on fluorophore, namely, SPOH, was employed to label the antibody-aptamer hybrids and provide a strong fluorescence signal, which was then detected with a total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (TIRFM-EMCCD) imaging system. The simultaneous detection of biomarkers was achieved by a direct shape-coded method in which the nanoplatforms can be distinguished from one another by their morphologies. Results: This assay demonstrated a lower detection limit (in the femtomolar range) for AD biomarkers than the previously reported antibody-antibody method. Conclusion: The developed assay holds tremendous clinical potential for early diagnosis of AD and monitoring of its progression.
