Rapid and accurate detection of biomarkers is crucial for early screening and treatment of diseases. This study developed a sensitive and amplification-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on CRISPR/Cas12a and DNA tetrahedron nanostructures (TDNs). The CRISPR/Cas12a system transduced the change of target concentration into an ECL signal enabling the detection of HPV-16.
Rapidand accurate detection of biomarkers was very important forearly screening and treatment of diseases. Herein, a sensitive andamplification-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor basedon CRISPR/Cas12a and DNA tetrahedron nanostructures (TDNs) was constructed.Briefly, 3D TDN was self-assembled on the Au nanoparticle-depositedglassy carbon electrode surface to construct the biosensing interface.The presence of the target would activate the trans-cleavage activityof Cas12a-crRNA duplex to cleave the single-stranded DNA signal probeon the vertex of TDN, causing the Ru(bpy)(3) (2+) to fall from the electrode surface and weakened the ECL signal.Thus, the CRISPR/Cas12a system transduced the change of target concentrationinto an ECL signal enabling the detection of HPV-16. The specificrecognition of CRISPR/Cas12a to HPV-16 made the biosensor have goodselectivity, while the TDN-modified sensing interface could reducethe cleaving steric resistance and improve the cleaving performanceof CRISPR/Cas12a. In addition, the pretreated biosensor could completesample detection within 100 min with a detection limit of 8.86 fM,indicating that the developed biosensor possesses the potential applicationprospect for fast and sensitive nucleic acid detection.
