  • Title: Gold Nanobipyramid Hotspot Aggregation-Induced Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering for the Ultrasensitive Detection of miRNA.
    Author: Zhang XL, Zhang HN, Liang H, Yang X, Chai YQ, Yuan R.
    Journal: Anal Chem; 2023 Aug 29; 95(34):12768-12775. PubMed ID: 37587155.
    Abstract:
    Herein, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor was constructed by gold nanobipyramid (Au NBP) hotspot aggregation-induced SERS (HAI-SERS) for the ultrasensitive detection of microRNA-221 (miRNA-221). Impressively, compared with single Au NBP, the multiple Au NBPs assembled by tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) could increase hotspot aggregation to significantly enhance the SERS signal of Raman molecule methylene blue (MB). Meanwhile, in the aid of Exo-III assisted target cycle amplification and TDNs-induced catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification, the biosensor could achieve the sensitive detection of miRNA-221 with a linear range of 1 fM-10 nM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.59 fM, which could be used for practical application in MHCC-97L and MCF-7 cell lysates. This work provided a method for hotspot aggregation to enhance SERS for the detection of biomarkers and disease diagnosis.
