Abstract
A smartphone-mediated self-powered biosensor is fabricated for miRNA-141 detection based on the CRISPR/Cas12a cross-cutting technique and a highly efficient nanozyme. As a novel nanozyme and a signal-amplified coreaction accelerator, the AuPtPd@GDY nanozyme exhibits an excellent ability to catalyze cascade color reactions and high conductivity to enhance the electrochemical signal for miRNA-141 assays. After CRISPR/Cas12a cross-cutting of S2-glucose oxidase (S2-GOD), the electrochemical signal is weakened, and miRNA-141 is detected by monitoring the decrease in the signal. On the other hand, a cascade reaction among glucose, H 2 O 2, and TMB is catalyzed by GOD and AuPtPd@GDY, respectively, resulting in a color change of the solution, which senses miRNA-141. The self-powered biosensor enables value-assisted and visual detection of miRNA-141 with limits of detection of 3.1 and 15 aM, respectively. Based on the dual-modal self-powered sensing system, a smartphone-mediated “all-in-one” biosensing chip is designed to achieve the real-time and intelligent monitoring of miRNA-141. This work provides a new approach to design multifunctional biosensors to realize the visualization and portable detection of tumor biomarkers.
