| Abstract | MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been considered as promising biomarkers for cellular events and disease diagnosis. However, current methods for miRNA detection often require sophisticated instruments that may limit the applications in a resource-constrained setting. Herein, we developed a plasmonic biosensor for the colorimetric detection of miRNA with high specificity based on hairpin capture probe-coated magnetic beads (MBs) and catalase (CAT)/streptavidin (SA)-functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles. One end of the hairpin capture probe was labeled with a biotin group which was located close to the surface of MBs and failed to bind to CAT/SA-SiO2 nanoparticles in the absence of target. However, the toehold-mediated strand displacement between target miRNA and hairpin capture probe stretched the biotin group far away from the surface of MBs, enabling the capture and separation of CAT/SA-SiO2 nanoparticles. CAT can rapidly consume hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) which was then used to mediate the growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). A blue aggregated AuNP solution and a red non-aggregated AuNP solution were obtained under low and high concentrations of H2O2, respectively. A single SiO2 nanoparticle was decorated with a large number of CAT molecules to offer an amplified colorimetric signal. As low as 5 amol miRNA was detected with the naked eye. The biosensor can also distinguish target miRNA from homologous sequences even with single nucleotide variation due to the long stem-containing hairpin capture probe. Furthermore, the practical application in real samples was demonstrated by detecting the small RNA samples extracted from cancer cells. Thus, we expect this simple biosensor may work as a routine tool for on-site detection of miRNA in resource-limited settings for clinical early diagnosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
