This study introduces a new double-stranded PNA/DNA probe for miR-221 detection, showing higher target sensitivity and promising applications for miRNA diagnosis.
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are involved in a variety of biological functions and are attracting attention as diagnostic and prognostic markers for various diseases. Highly sensitive RNA detection methods are required to determine miRNA expression levels and intracellular localization. In this study, we designed new double-stranded peptide nucleic acid (PNA)/DNA probes consisting of a fluorophore-PNA-quencher (fPq) and a quencher-DNA (qD) for miR-221 detection. We optimized the fPq structure, PNA-DNA hybrid length, and hybrid position. The resultant fPq-2/qD-6b probe was a 6-bp hybrid probe with a 10-base fPq and a 6-base qD. The signal-to-background ratios of the probes showed that fPq-2/qD-6b had a higher target sensitivity than fPq (PNA beacon)-type and fP/qDtype probes. The results of the detection limit and target specificity indicate that the fPq/qD probe is promising for RNA detection in both cells and cell extracts as well as for miRNA diagnosis.
