Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 Apr 9;256:116279. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116279. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroRNA (miRNA) is demonstrated to be associated with the occurrence and development of various diseases including cancer. Currently, most miRNA detection methods are confined to in vitro detection and cannot obtain information on the temporal and spatial expression of miRNA in relevant tissues and cells. In this work, we established a novel enzyme-free method that can be applied to both in vitro detection and in situ imaging of miRNA by integrating DNAzyme and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) circuits. This develope...

An enzymatically activated AND-gate DNA logic circuit for tumor cells recognition via multi-microRNAs detection
Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 Apr 7;256:116278. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe DNA-based logic circuit, constructed to mimic biochemical reaction networks, is highly significant in detecting biomarkers at the molecular level. The differences in the expression levels of microRNAs (miRNAs) within different types of cells provide hope for distinguishing cell subtypes. However, reliance on a single miRNA often leads to unreliable results. Herein, we constructed an enzyme-triggered cascade logic circuit based on the AND gate, which is capable of generating corresponding fluorescence signals in th...

Although research on improving laccase-like activity by regulating ligands of copper (amino acids or small organic molecules, etc.) have achieved remarkable success. There are few reports on improving laccase-like activity by adjusting the composition of metal Cu. Here, we used perovskite hydroxide AB(OH)6 as a model to evaluate the relationship between Cu based alloys and their ...

Highly sensitive and selective demethylase FTO detection using a DNAzyme-mediated CRISPR/Cas12a signal cascade amplification electrochemiluminescence biosensor with C-CN/PCN < sub > V < /sub > heterojunction as emitter
In this study, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the detection of demethylase FTO was developed based on DNAzyme-mediated CRISPR/Cas12a signal cascade amplification system and carboxylated carbon nitride nanosheets/phosphorus-doped nitrogen-vacancy modified carbon nitride nanosheets (C-CN/PCNV) heterojunction as the emitter. The biosensor was constructed by modifying the C-CN/PCNV heterojunction and a ferrocene-tagged probe (ssDNA-Fc) on a glassy carbon electrode. The presence of FTO removes the m6A modification on the catalytic core of DNAzyme, restoring its cleavage activity and generating activator DNA. Th...

A photoelectrochemical biosensor based on self-calibration platform of carbon-rich plasmonic probe with near-infrared driving signal amplification
Biosens Bioelectron. 2024 Apr 7;256:116274. doi: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116274. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExploring the photochemical (PEC) method induced by low-energy light source makes great significance to achieve high stability and accurate analysis. A sensing platform driven by near-infrared (NIR) light was designed by making the biochemically encoded carbon rich plasmonic hybrid (CPH) probe, the peptide@C-Mo2C. The inherent plasmonic effect of C-Mo2C CPH can directly absorb NIR light, thus starting effective electronic-hole pairs separation. Moreover, the photothermal effect of C-Mo2C CPH also promoted the reaction...
