We report a DNA-gold nanoparticle (DNA-GNP) based lateral flow nucleic acid biosensor for visual detection of microRNA (miRNA)-215 in aqueous solutions and biological samples with low-cost and short analysis time. Sandwich-type hybridization reactions among GNP-labeled DNA probe, miRNA-215 and biotin-modified DNA probes were performed on the lateral flow device. The accumulation of GNPs on the test zone of the biosensor enables the visual detection of miRNA-215. After systematic optimization, the biosensor was able to detect a minimum concentration of 60 pM miRNA-215. The biosensor was applied to detect miRNA-215 from A549 cell lysate directly without complex sample treatment, and the detection limit of 0.148 million cells was obtained. This study provides a simple, rapid, specific and low-cost approach for miRNA detection in aqueous solutions and biological samples, showing great promise for clinical application and biomedical diagnosis in some malignant diseases.
我们报告了一种基于 DNA-金纳米粒子(DNA-GNP)的侧向流动核酸生物传感器,用于在水溶液和生物样品中可视化检测 microRNA(miRNA)-215,具有低成本和短分析时间的特点。在侧向流动装置上进行了 GNP 标记的 DNA 探针、miRNA-215 和生物素修饰的 DNA 探针之间的三明治型杂交反应。生物传感器上测试区的 GNPs 积累使 miRNA-215 的可视化检测成为可能。经过系统优化,该生物传感器能够检测到最小浓度为 60 pM 的 miRNA-215。该生物传感器可直接用于检测 A549 细胞裂解液中的 miRNA-215,无需复杂的样品处理,检测限为 0.148 万个细胞。这项研究为水溶液和生物样品中的 miRNA 检测提供了一种简单、快速、特异和低成本的方法,有望在某些恶性疾病的临床应用和生物医学诊断中得到应用。
