The expression levels of microRNA (miRNA) vary significantly in correlation with the occurrence and progression of cancer, making them valuable biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. However, their quantitative detection faces challenges due to the high sequence homology, low abundance and small size. In this work, we established a strand displacement amplification (SDA) approach based on miRNA-triggered structural "Lock" nucleic acid ("Lock" DNA), coupled with the CRISPR/Cas12a system, for detecting miRNA-21 in breast cancer cells. The "Lock" DNA freed the CRISPR-derived RNA (crRNA) from the dependence on the target sequence and greatly facilitated the extended detection of different miRNAs. Moreover, the CRISPR/Cas12a system provided excellent amplification ability and specificity. The designed biosensor achieved high sensitivity detection of miRNA-21 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 28.8 aM. In particular, the biosensor could distinguish breast cancer cells from other cancer cells through intracellular imaging. With its straightforward sequence design and ease of use, the Lock-Cas12a biosensor offers significant advantages for cell imaging and early clinical diagnosis.
