One of the highly attractive research directions in the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) field is how to regulate and improve ECL efficiency. Quantum dots (QDs) are highly promising ECL materials due to their adjustable luminescence size and strong luminous efficiency. MoS NSs@QDs, an ECL emitter, is synthesized via hydrothermal methods, and its ECL mechanism is investigated using cyclic voltammetry and ECL-potential curves. Then, a stable and vertical attachment of a triplex DNA (tsDNA) probe to the MoS nanosheets (NSs) is applied to the electrode. Next, an innovative ECL sensor is courageously empoldered for precise and ultrasensitive detection of target miRNA-199a through the agency of ECL-resonance energy transfer (RET) strategy and a dextrous target-initiated catalytic three-arm DNA junction assembly (CTDJA) based on a toehold strand displacement reaction (TSDR) signal amplification approach. Impressively, the ingenious system not only precisely regulates the distance between energy donor-acceptor pairs leave energy less loss and more ECL-RET efficiency, but also simplifies the operational procedure and verifies the feasibility of this self-assembly process without human intervention. This study can expand MoS NSs@QDs utilization in ECL biosensing applications, and the proposed nucleic acid amplification strategy can become a miracle cure for ultrasensitive detecting diverse biomarkers, which helps researchers to better study the tumor mechanism, thereby unambiguously increasing cancer cure rates and reducing the risk of recurrence.

Cascaded signal amplification technologies play an important role in the sensitive detection of lowly expressed biomarkers of interests yet are constrained by severe background interference and low cellular accessibility. Herein, we constructed a metal-organic framework-encapsulating dual-signal cascaded nucleic acid sensor for precise intracellular miRNA imaging. ZIF-8 nanoparticles load and deliver FAM-labeled upstream catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and Cy5-modified downstream hybridization chain reaction (HCR) hairpin reactants to tumor cells, enabling visualization of the target-initiated signal amplification process for double-insurance detection of analytes.

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) tRF-LeuCAG-002 (ts3011a RNA) is a novel class of non-coding RNAs biomarker for pancreatic cancer (PC). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been unfit for community hospitals that are short of specialized equipment or laboratory setups. It has not been reported whether isothermal technology can be used for detection, because the tsRNAs have rich modifications and secondary structures compared with other non-coding RNAs.

Abnormal upregulation of telomerase RNA (TR) is a hallmark event at various stages of tumor progression, providing a universal marker for early diagnosis of cancer. Here, we have developed a triple signal amplification strategy for in situ visualization of TR in living cells, which sequentially incorporated the target-initiated strand displacement circuit, multidirectional rolling circle amplification (RCA), and Mg DNAzyme-mediated amplification. All oligonucleotide probes and cofactors were transfected into cells in one go, and then escaped from lysosomes successfully.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important biomarkers for a variety of diseases. Here, we developed an enzyme-assisted cyclic amplification strategy for an electrochemical method based on a highly sensitive and target-specific catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction for trace miRNA detection in serum. The miRNA periodically triggers the hairpin probes (H1, H2) to form a three-way structure of DNA through the CHA reaction, which is accompanied by the release of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA1) and miRNA.
