This study presents a 3D DNA origami nanosensor for highly sensitive detection of lung cancer-specific microRNAs. The sensor design, preparation process, and characterization using SEM, AFM, CV, and DPV are discussed. Under optimal conditions, the genosensor exhibited great potential in clinical cancer diagnosis applications.

Background • Recent reports have indicated that aberrant expression of microRNAs is highly correlated with occurrence of lung cancer. • Therefore, highly sensitive detection of lung cancer specific microRNAs provides an attractive approach in lung cancer early diagnostics.
The probe for sensor • The 3D DNA origamistructureisconstitutedof a ferrocene-tagged DNA of stem-loopstructurecombinedwith a thiolatedtetrahedron DNA nanostructureatthebottom. • The top portionhybridizedwiththelungcancercorrelatedmicroRNA, whilethebottomportionwasself-assembled on gold disk electrodesurface, whichwasmodifiedwithgoldnanoparticles (Au NPs) and blockedwithmercaptoethanol (MCH).
Characterisation of sensor • The preparation process and the performance of the proposed electrochemical genosensor were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV).

Summary • Under the optimal conditions, the developed genosensor had a detection limit of 10 pM and a good linearity with microRNA concentration ranging from 100 pM to 1 µM, which showed a great potential in highly sensitive clinical cancer diagnosis application.
