DNA or its analogues with an environment-sensitive fluorescent label are potentially useful as a probe for studying the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids. In this work, pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acid (acpcPNA) was labeled at its backbone with Nile red, a solvatochromic benzophenoxazine dye, by means of click chemistry. The optical properties of the Nile red-labeled acpcPNA were investigated by UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in the absence and in the presence of DNA. In contrast to the usual quenching observed in Nile red-labeled DNA, the hybridization with DNA resulted in blue shifting and an enhanced fluorescence regardless of the neighboring bases. More pronounced blue shifts and fluorescence enhancements were observed when the DNA target carried a base insertion in close proximity to the Nile red label. The results indicate that the Nile red label is located in a more hydrophobic environment in acpcPNA–DNA duplexes than in the single-stranded acpcPNA. The different fluorescence properties of the acpcPNA hybrids of complementary DNA and DNA carrying a base insertion are suggestive of different interactions between the Nile red label and the duplexes.

To harness the applicability of microribonucleic acid (miRNA) as a cancer biomarker, the detection sensitivity of serum miRNA needs to be improved. This study evaluated the detection sensitivity of miRNA hybridization using cyclic voltammograms (CVs) and microelectrode array chips modified with peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes and 6-hydroxy-1-hexanethiol. We investigated the PNA probe modification pattern on array chips using fluorescently labeled cDNA. The pattern was not uniformly spread over the working electrode (WE) and had a one-dimensional swirl-like pattern. Accordingly, we established a new ion-channel sensor model wherein the WE is negatively biased through the conductive π–π stacks of the PNA/DNA duplexes. This paper discusses the mechanism underlying the voltage shift in the CV curves based on the electric double-layer capacitance. Additionally, the novel hybridization evaluation parameter ΔE is introduced. Compared to conventional evaluation using oxidation current changes, ΔE was more sensitive. Using ΔE and a new hybridization system for ultrasmall amounts of aqueous solutions (as low as 35 pL), 140 zeptomol label-free miRNA were detected without polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification at an adequate sensitivity. Herein, the differences in the target molar amount and molar concentration are elucidated from the viewpoint of hybridization sensitivity.
