摘要
Background: The abnormal expression of microRNA (miRNA) influences RNA transcription and protein translation, leading to tumor progression and metastasis. Today, reliably identifying aberrant miRNA expression remains challenging, especially when employing quick, simple, and portable detection methods. Objectives: This study aimed to diagnose and detect the miR-21 biomarker with high sensitivity and specificity. Methods: Our detection approach involves immobilizing ROX dye-labeled single-stranded DNA probes (ROX-labeled ssDNA) onto MWCNTs to detect target miRNA-21. Initially, adsorbing ROX-labeled ssDNA onto MWCNTs causes fluorescence quenching of ROX. Subsequently, introducing its complementary DNA (cDNA) forms double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which results in the desorption and release from MWCNTs, thus restoring ROX fluorescence. Results: The study examined changes in fluorescence intensities before and after hybridization with miRNA-21. The fluorescence emission intensities responded linearly to increases in miR-21 concentration from 10-9 to 3.2 × 10-6 M. The developed fluorescence sensor exhibited a detection limit of 1.12 × 10-9 M. Conclusions: This work demonstrates that using a nano-biosensor based on carbon nanotubes offers a highly sensitive method for the early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC), supplementing existing techniques.
