    Abstract:
    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are novel tumor biomarkers owing to their important physiological functions in cell communication and the progression of multiple diseases. Due to the small molecular weight, short sequence length, and low concentration levels of miRNA, miRNA detection presents substantial challenges, requiring the advancement of more refined and sensitive techniques. There is an urgent demand for the development of a rapid, user-friendly, and sensitive miRNA analysis method. Here, we developed an enhanced biotin-streptavidin dual-mode phase imaging surface plasmon resonance (PI-SPR) aptasensor for sensitive and rapid detection of miRNA. Initially, we evaluated the linear sensing range for miRNA detection across two distinct sensing modalities and investigated the physical factors that influence the sensing signal in the aptamer-miRNA interaction within the PI-SPR aptasensor. Then, an enhanced biotin-streptavidin amplification strategy was introduced in the PI-SPR aptasensor, which effectively reduced the nonspecific adsorption by 20% and improved the limit of detection by 548 times. Furthermore, we have produced three types of tumor marker chips, which utilize the rapid sensing mode (less than 2 min) of PI-SPR aptasensor to achieve simultaneous detection of multiple miRNA markers in the serum from clinical cancer patients. This work not only developed a new approach to detect miRNA in different application scenarios but also provided a new reference for the application of the biotin-streptavidin amplification system in the detection of other small biomolecules.
