Development of a rapid, sensitive and easy to use point of care assay for detection of circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is of great importance. These biomolecules possess the ability to regulate vital cellular processes and act as biomarkers for various human non-communicable diseases. The present work aimed to develop a simplified and reliable cytometric fluorescence-based approach for precise recognition of circulating lncRNAs in a given sample using biotinylated uracil-modified oligonucleotide tethered AlexaFluor488-labeled streptavidin gold colloidal (BiO-StrAG) nano-conjugates. The fluorophores in close proximity to the gold nanoparticles result in quenching of fluorescence; however, specific recognition of target lncRNAs increases this distance which causes plasmonic enhancement of fluorescence. As per the flow cytometry and fluorometry investigations, the developed methodology provides a precise and sensitive approach for detection of the target lncRNAs (up to 5 nM in any given sample). With advantages of high selectivity and feasibility, our strategy offers great potential of being developed as a promising tool for interrogating aberrant regulation of lncRNAs functions, especially indicated in various diseased states.
