    Abstract:
    Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) derived from different cells are proposed to be important noninvasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Recently, sensitive and reliable sensing of exosomal miRNAs has been garnered significant attention. Herein, a novel electrochemical biosensor based on a step polymerization catalytic hairpin assembly (SP-CHA) circuit is designed for exosomal miR-181 detection. Exosomal miR-181 as a trigger, induced SP-CHA process and generated a large number of T shaped concatemers with different length on the electrode surface. These ultra-concatemers could provide a much enhanced signal-to-noise ratio with the linear range from 10 fM to 100 nM and the detection limit of 7.94 fM. Furthermore, this assay was successfully applied to the detection of exosomal miR-181 in serum samples of normal healthy controls and patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and the results were consistent with those analysis collected from qRT-PCR. The assembly demonstrated great performance in differentiating CHD patients from healthy controls (AUC:0.9867). Collectively, this sensing system possessed high stability and sensitivity with ease of operation and cost efficiency, leading to great potential for exosomal miRNAs detection in cardiovascular disease.
