MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regarded as a large variety of cancer-related biomarkers, and they have attracted wide attentions in recent years. In this work, a novel label-free strategy for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-182 (a typical biomarker for lung cancer) based on MoS/TiC nanohybrids was suggested. Firstly, modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with massive active sites and good electronic conductivity was prepared for biosensing. Then, based on this platform a descent signal in differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) peak current could be observed with the addition of probe RNA with negative charge. Thereafter, with the hybridization of target miRNA-182 with immobilized probe RNA and the swelling-induced breakage of Au-S bonds between RNA and the electrode surface, the characteristic DPV signals increase were found. In particular, this biosensing platform for special miRNAs possessed a good linear detection window in a range from 1 fM to 0.1 nM with a detection limit of 0.43 fM.
微小 RNA(miRNAs)被认为是一类广泛存在的癌症相关生物标志物,近年来受到了广泛关注。本工作提出了一种基于 MoS/TiC 纳米杂化材料的新型无标记策略,用于超灵敏检测 miRNA-182(一种典型的肺癌生物标志物)。首先,制备了具有大量活性位点和良好导电性的修饰玻碳电极(GCE),用于生物传感。然后,基于该平台,在差分脉冲伏安法(DPV)中观察到负电荷探针 RNA 加入后,电流信号显著下降。此后,随着目标 miRNA-182 与固定化探针 RNA 的杂交以及 RNA 与电极表面之间的 Au-S 键的肿胀诱导断裂,发现特征性的 DPV 信号增强。特别地,该用于特殊 miRNAs 的生物传感平台在 1 fM 至 0.1 nM 的范围内具有良好的线性检测窗口,检测限低至 0.43 fM。
