Abstract
Liquid biopsy offers a promising approach for cancer detection, with biosensors enhancing its practicality and applicability. In this study, we propose a biosensor that utilizes the synergistic catalytic release of fuel-generated bubbles by AuCuMn and CaH to improve detection efficiency. The bubble propulsion of DNA probes accelerates receptor-target interactions, significantly enhancing the biosensor's performance. Specifically, when detecting miRNA-21, bubble propulsion lowered the minimum detectable concentration from 3.2 pmol/L to 640 fmol/L, achieving a fivefold increase in sensitivity. Furthermore, the DNA probe in the biosensor can be modularly replaced to detect other miRNAs, such as miRNA-96, miRNA-155, and miRNA-210. These miRNAs can be quantitatively detected within the range of 640 fmol/L to 50 nmol/L, exhibiting excellent specificity, reproducibility and stability. Abnormal expression of these miRNAs was clearly observed in HER2+ breast cancer patients' serum. These findings not only confirm the biosensor's effectiveness in detecting cancer-related miRNAs but also provide valuable insights for its future clinical translation and application.
