A new class of intracellular nanoprobe, termed AuNP-based hairpin-locked-DNAzyme probe, was developed to sense miRNA in living cells. Briefly, it consists of an AuNP and hairpin-locked-DNAzyme strands. In the absence of target miRNA, the hairpin-locked-DNAzyme strand forms a hairpin structure by intramolecular hybridization, which could inhibit the catalytic activity of DNAzyme strand and the fluorescence is quenched by the AuNP. However, in the presence of target, the target-probe hybridization can open the hairpin and form the active secondary structure in the catalytic cores to yield an “active” DNAzyme, which then cleaves the self-strand with the assist of Mg2+. The cleaved two shorter DNA fragments are separated with the target. As a result, the fluorophores are released from the AuNP and the fluorescence is enhanced. Meanwhile, the target is also released and binds to another hairpin-locked-DNAzyme strand to drive another cycle of activation. In such a way, the target-recycling amplification leads to significant signal enhancement and thus offers high detection sensitivity.

基于金纳米粒子的发夹锁定DNAzyme探针,用于在活细胞中扩增miRNA成像

开发了一种新型的细胞内纳米探针,称为基于AuNP的发夹锁定DNAzyme探针,用于检测活细胞中的miRNA。简而言之,它由AuNP和发夹固定的DNAzyme链组成。在不存在靶标miRNA的情况下,发夹固定的DNAzyme链通过分子内杂交形成发夹结构,这可能抑制DNAzyme链的催化活性,并且荧光被AuNP淬灭。但是,在存在靶标的情况下,靶标探针杂交可以打开发夹并在催化核心中形成活性二级结构,从而产生“活性” DNA酶,然后在Mg 2+的帮助下裂解自链。。切割的两个较短的DNA片段与靶标分开。结果,荧光团从AuNP释放并且荧光增强。同时,靶标也被释放并与另一条发夹锁定的DNAzyme链结合,以驱动另一个激活周期。以这种方式,靶物循环的扩增导致显着的信号增强,并因此提供了高的检测灵敏度。
