Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the only biomarker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. So the PSA screening test is very important due to the high occurrence of prostate cancer in men. In this work, a label-free fluorescent method was developed based on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and G-quadruplex-thioflavin T complex for detecting PSA. In the absence of PSA, the PSA aptamer can be used as the primer for TdT extension reactions, resulting in the formation of G-quadruplexes and generation of strong fluorescent signals. After the addition of PSA, the PSA-aptamer complex prevented the TdT extension reaction due to steric hindrance, thus resulting in a poor fluorescent signal. The assay showed a wide linear range (0.1 to 80 pg/mL) and a detection limit of 0.086 pg/mL (S/N = 3). It also has good specificity for PSA determination and gives satisfactory results when applied to biological samples. Conceivably, its merits such as good selectivity and high sensitivity indicate that the proposed method has a promising application potential in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
