AbstractThe cyclic signal amplification technology has been widely applied for the ultrasensitive detection of many important biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), metal ions, exosome, etc. Due to their low content in the complex biological samples, traditional detection methods are insufficient to satisfy the requirements for monitoring those biomolecules. Therefore, effective and sensitive biosensors based on cyclic signal amplification technology are of great significance for the quick and simple diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Fluorescent biosensor based on cyclic signal amplification technology has become a research hotspot due to its simple operation, low cost, short time, high sensitivity and high specificity. This paper introduces several cyclic amplification methods, such as rolling circle amplification (RCA), strand displacement reactions (SDR) and enzyme-assisted amplification (EAA), and summarizes the research progress of using this technology in the detection of different biomolecules in recent years, in order to provide help for the research of more efficient and sensitive detection methods.

In this work, a simple and label-free fluorescence “off” to “on” platform was designed for the sensitive and selective detection of microRNA (miRNA) in cancer cells. This method utilized a padlock DNA-based rolling circle amplification (P-RCA) to synthesize fluorescent poly(thymine) (PolyT) which acted as a template for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) within 10 minutes under mild conditions. While the repeated PolyT sequence was used as the template for CuNP synthesis, other non-PolyT parts (single strand-DNAs without the capacity to act as the template for CuNP formation) served as “smart glues” or rigid linkers to build complex nanostructures. Under the excitation wavelength of 340 nm, the synthesized CuNPs emitted strong red fluorescence effectively at 620 nm. To demonstrate the use of this method as a universal biosensor platform, lethal-7a (let-7a) miRNA was chosen as the standard target. This sensor could achieve highly sensitive and selective detection of miRNA in the presence of other homologous analogues for the combination of P-RCA with the fluorescent copper nanoparticle. Overall, this novel label-free method holds great potential in the sensitive detection of miRNA with high specificity in real samples.

MicroRNAs regulate and control the growth and development of cells and can play the role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, which are involved in the occurrence and development of cancers. In this study, DNA fragments obtained by target-induced rolling-circle amplification were constructed to complement with self-cleaving deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) and release fluorescence biomolecules. This sensing approach can affect multiple signal amplification permitting fluorescence detection of microRNAs at the pmol L−1 level hence affording a simple, highly sensitive, and selective low cost detection platform.
