BACKGROUND: Sensitive and selective analysis of low content nucleic acid sequences plays an important role in pathogen analysis, disease diagnosis and biomedicine. The electrochemical biosensor based on toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TMSD) is highly attractive in nucleic acid detection due to their improved sensitivity and rapid response. But the traditional TMSD carried out on the electrode always with low displacement efficiency and complicated electrode operation, resulting in compromised sensing performance. There is a great need to construct a novel TMSD based electrochemical detection strategy to overcome such challenges in nucleic acid detecting.

RESULT: Herein, a triple signal amplification electrochemical aptasensor was developed for ultrasensitive detection of CYFRA21-1 DNA. The dual-output toehold mediated strand displacement reaction (dTMSD) can convert one input to two strands output within one strand displacement cycle. So that it possesses a higher efficiency for improving the sensitivity in comparison with the single-output TMSD. And the fuel strand was configured with a tail to realize successive DNA circuits through self-propelling as a DNA walker. All the above processes were carried out on magnetic beads, which is conducive to achieving effective sample purification and minimizing the background signals. Besides, Exonuclease III was further amplified signal. As a result, through the cascade use of above three technologies, the proposed biosensing strategy realized sensitive detection of target DNA with a low detection limit of 0.35 fM (S/N = 3) and wide linear range (0.5 fM-500 pM).

SIGNIFICANCE: The proposed novel dTMSD combining multiple signal amplification strategies for electrochemical detection of CYFRA21-1 DNA with easy operation not only possesses excellent sensitivity and selectivity, but also has potential application value for monitoring DNA in serum. Meanwhile, the development of highly sensitive and specific CYFRA21-1 DNA detection methods is very important for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.
