As a neurodegenerative disorder, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive dysfunction and behavioral impairment. Among the various genetic risk factors for AD, apoE4 gene plays a pivotal role in the onset and progression of AD, and detection of apoE4 gene holds significance for prevention and early diagnosis of AD. Herein, dual-signal fluorescence detection of fragments associated with apoE ε4 allele near codon 112 (Tc1) and codon 158 (Tc2) was achieved using DNA tetrahedron nanostructure (DTN). The Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process in the DTN was initiated in which the nucleic acid intercalating dye thiazole orange (TO) served as the donor and the cyanine dyes of cyanine3 (Cy3) and cyanine5 (Cy5) at the two vertices of DTN served as the acceptors. In the presence of Tc1 and Tc2, the FRET process between TO and the cyanine dyes was hindered by the enzymatic cleavage reaction, which ensures the dual-signal fluorescence assay of apoE4 gene sites. The limit of detection for Tc1 and Tc2 was estimated to be 0.82nM and 0.77nM, respectively, and the whole assay was accomplished within 1h on a microplate reader. The proposed method thus possesses the advantages of easy operation, short detection time, and high-throughput capability.
