A novel highly sensitive compilation-detachment fluorescence sensing strategy based on RNA-cleavage DNAzyme for MDA-MB-231 breast cancer biomarker determination.

Herein, we designed a novel and highly sensitive fluorescence multicomponent detachable platform for MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell detection as a model. The RNA cleavage DNAzyme was used as a central operator of the multicomponent probe through which compilation and induced detachment of probe was done. During the compilation step, the dsDNA-Sybr green 1 complexes on gold nanoparticles (GNP@dsDNA@SG1) were assembled. The intercalated Sybr green in the DNA structure has been used as an amplified signal generator on one site of DNAzyme and magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) act as a biological carrier and probe collector on the opposite side. The enzyme activator co-factor (MDA-MB-231 cell cytoplasmic protein) provokes the activation of the catalytic core of enzyme sequence in the DNAzyme molecule, followed by cleavage reaction in the substrate sequence and releasing GNP@ dsDNA@SG1 into the solution. The results indicate that the Sybr green emission fluorescence (520 nm) increases with the increment of MDA-MB-231 protein concentration in the linear dynamic range of 8.10 × 10 -2 to 1.95 ng ml -1 (0.77 × 10 -3 -0.019 cell ml -1 ) with a detection limit (LOD) of 1/72 × 10 -2 pg ml -1 under optimal conditions. The proposed immunosensor has great potential in developing ultrasensitive and rapid diagnostic platforms.
