Abstract
Simultaneous detection of multiple targets is of great significance for accurate disease diagnosis. Herein, based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) assisted signal amplification and the toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR), we constructed an electrochemical biosensor with high sensitivity and high specificity for dual-target detection. MiRNA-141 and miRNA-133a were used as the targets, and ferrocene (Fc) and methylene blue (MB) with significant peak potential differentiation were used as the electrochemical signal probes. The elaborately designed hairpin probe H1, which was fixed on the electrode surface, could be hybridized with the target miRNA-141 to perform signal amplification by the DSN-assisted enzyme cleavage cycle; thus, miRNA-141 could be detected by Fc signal changes at 0.41 V. The hairpin H1 can also combine with the MB-labeled signal probe (SP) output from miRNA-133a-induced TSDR, and the detection of miRNA-133a can be realized according to the response signal generated by MB at -0.26 V. The two sensing lines are independent of each other, and there is no mutual interference in the detection process. Therefore, two independent detection lines could be connected in series, and the simultaneous detection of two targets can be achieved on a single electrode. This novel detection strategy provides a new way to simultaneously detect different biomarkers.
