ABSTRACT
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the process of heart failure (HF) and are emerging biomarkers that can be used for the auxiliary diagnosis of HF. However, it is very challenging to accurately analyze the expression levels of trace miRNAs in complex clinical samples. Here, we developed an enzyme-free colorimetric sensor for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA-423-5p (HF-associated miRNA) based on three-dimensional DNA walkers constructed from functional nucleic acids and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). DNAzyme with cleavage activity was specifically activated by miRNA-423-5p to sustainably cleave the substrate, thereby releasing the trigger sequence to initiate the subsequent mismatched catalytic hairpin assembly (MCHA) cycle. Then, as the MCHA cycle proceeded to continuously expose the G-quadruplex (GQ) sequence, the sequence bound with hemin to form a large amount of GQ/hemin DNAzyme on the surface of the AuNPs, which rapidly catalyzed the chromogenic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine to yield an amplified colorimetric signal readout. The colorimetric sensor exhibited an ultralow detection limit (32 fM), showed excellent specificity and performed well in serum samples. The sensor was applied to detect miRNA-423-5p in clinical plasma samples from healthy individuals and HF patients, and the results revealed its good clinical application in HF diagnosis. Thus, the developed colorimetric sensor provides a convenient detection tool for early screening and diagnosis of HF, as well as for pathophysiological studies.
