Abstract
In this work, a sandwich-type electrochemical biosensing platform is developed based on carbon sphere-MoS2 (CS-MoS2) and target recycling amplification of catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy for ultrasensitive determination of microRNA (miRNA). The CS-MoS2 is prepared and used as sensing substrate, which shows high specific surface area, enhanced stability and good dispersibility. The capture probe is first modified on Au nanoparticles/CS-MoS2 modified glassy carbon electrode through Au-S band, and hairpin DNA1 (H1) then reacts with it and unfolds its loop domain by hybridizing with target miRNA-21. The opened H1 subsequently assembles with biotin labeled hairpin DNA 2 (H2) to displace the target. The liberated miRNA-21 is free and backs to the original solution to proceed next circulation, resulting in the generation of large amounts of H1–H2 duplex. Massive signal indicators horseradish peroxidase are then immobilized on electrode, and catalyze hydrogenperoxide + hydroquinone (H2O2 + HQ) system to produce a strong electrochemical response. The proposed assay benefits from advantages of sandwich-type structure, favorable electrochemical properties of CS-MoS2 and CHA target recycling amplification strategy. Therefore, it exhibits a wide linear relation between 1 × 10−16 and 1 × 10−10 M with a low detection limit of 1.6 × 10−17 M for miRNA-21 detection.
