Abstract
Anelectrochemical sensor assisted by primer exchange reaction (PER) and CRISPR/Cas9 system (PER-CRISPR/Cas9-E) was established for the sensitive detection of dual microRNAs (miRNAs). Two PER hairpin (HP) were designed to produce a lot of extended PER products, which could hybridize with two kinds of hairpin probes modified on the electrode and initiate the cleavage of two CRISPR/Cas9 systems guided by single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) with different recognition sequences. The decrease of the two electrochemical redox signals indicated the presence of dual-target miRNAs. With the robustness and high specificity of PER amplification and CRISPR/Cas9 cleavage system, simultaneous detection of two targets was achieved and the detection limits for miRNA-21 and miRNA-155 were 0.43 fM and 0.12 fM, respectively. The developed biosensor has the advantages of low cost, easy operation, and in-situ detection, providing a promising platform for point-of-care detection of multiple miRNAs.
