Aptasensors with high specificity have emerged as powerful tools for understanding various biological processes, thus providing tremendous opportunities for clinical diagnosis and prognosis. However, their applications in intracellular molecular imaging are largely impeded due to the low anti-interference capacity in biological environments and the moderate sensitivity to targets. Herein, a robust enzyme-free autocatalysis-driven feedback DNA circuit is devised for amplified aptasensing, for example, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and thrombin, with a significantly improved sensitivity in living cells. This initiator-replicated hybridization chain reaction (ID-HCR) circuit was acquired by integrating the HCR circuit with the DNAzyme biocatalysis. Also, the autocatalysis-driven aptasensor consists of a recognition element and an amplification element. The recognition unit can specifically identify ATP or thrombin via a versatile conformational transformation, resulting in the exposure of the initiator to the autocatalysis-driven circuit. The ID-HCR element integrates the charming self-assembly characteristics of the HCR and the remarkable catalytic cleavage capacity of DNAzyme for realizing the continuously self-sustained regeneration or replication of trigger strands and for achieving an exponential signal gain. The autocatalysis-driven aptasensor has been validated for quantitative analysis of ATP and thrombin in vitro and for monitoring the corresponding aptamer substrates with various expressions in live cells. More importantly, the autocatalysis-driven aptasensor, as a versatile amplification strategy, holds enormous potential for analysis of other less abundant biomarkers by changing only the recognition element of the system.
