Reusable electrochemiluminescence biosensor based on tetrahedral DNA signal amplification for ultrasensitive detection of microRNAs

Abstract

A novel and reusable electrochemiluminescence biosensor was developed based on tetrahedral DNA (TDN) signal amplification for ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-27a. The flowered nickel-iron layered double hydroxide@AuNPs (NiFe-LDH@AuNPs) composites increase the amount of hairpin DNA fixed on the electrode. When miRNA is present, TDN-Ru(bpy)32+ acts as an ECL probe, forming a stable sandwich structure with miRNA-27a and hairpin DNA through base complementation pairing, thus achieving miRNA detection. This biosensor has the characteristics of high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and good reproducibility.
