Abstract:
Environmental smog pollution induces chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and causes the urgent need of timely, safe and quantitative testing for risk assessment. The miRNA-based bioanalysis offers a non-invasive access to rapid COPD screening, while challenges remain in accurately identifying miRNAs from complex matrices. Herein, a novel bionic aptasensor has been pioneered for meeting the specific and sensitive detection of the miR-155 in serum for COPD diagnosis, integrating tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) confined affinity recognition and enzyme-free hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification strategy. Precision-designed tFNAs were fabricated and hybridized with FAM-labeled cDNAs, enabling dual-mode recognition mechanism including spatially confined aptamer recognition and bionic molecular sieve size-selective action. Proteins and pre-miRNAs were excluded, and the target microRNA-155 was specifically captured. This triggered a structural switch of tFNAs and activated cDNA-mediated HCR, assembling double-stranded DNA and achieving exponential fluorescence enhancement synergistically produced by SYBR Green I (SGI) and FAM. The optimal limit of detection as 53 fM for miRNA-155 was achieved with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). Applied to COPD diagnosis, the detections of trace miRNA-155 were satisfactory and the recovery yields were ranged in 96.4 ± 5.2 % ∼106.2 ± 2.1 % (n = 3) in the serum of COPD patients. Smoke-exposed model rats were also analyzed, and the miRNA-155 was achieved with a significant concentration up-regulation to light the COPD. It offers a high-performance protocol for meeting the non-invasive rapid screening of COPD, further providing promising technologies for evaluating safety issues of environmentally induced diseases. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
