Abstract
Micro-RNA (miRNA) emerges as a promising type of biomarker for cancer diagnosis. There is an urgent need for developing rapid, convenient, and precise miRNA detection methods that may be conducted with limited laboratory facilities, especially in underdeveloped areas. Herein, we developed a miRNA detection method termed miRoll-Cas, where miRNA is first amplified by rolling circle transcription and then subject to CRISPR-Cas13a assay. Using miRoll-Cas, we realized the sensitive detection of multiple cancer-relevant miRNA markers (miR21, miR141, and Let7b) and specifically identified other variants of the Let7 family, which can accurately discriminate prostate cancer patients from healthy people. We envision that miRoll-Cas may be readily translated to clinical applications in the diagnosis of a variety of diseases beyond cancer.
期刊介绍:
Analytical Chemistry, a peer-reviewed research journal, focuses on disseminating new and original knowledge across all branches of analytical chemistry. Fundamental articles may explore general principles of chemical measurement science and need not directly address existing or potential analytical methodology. They can be entirely theoretical or report experimental results. Contributions may cover various phases of analytical operations, including sampling, bioanalysis, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, microscale and nanoscale systems, environmental analysis, separations, spectroscopy, chemical reactions and selectivity, instrumentation, imaging, surface analysis, and data processing. Papers discussing known analytical methods should present a significant, original application of the method, a notable improvement, or results on an important analyte.
