Label-Free and Multiplexed Quantification of microRNAs by Mass Spectrometry Based on Duplex-Specific-Nuclease-Assisted Recycling Amplification

Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important biomarker candidates for cancer screening and early detection research. Generally, miRNAs undergo synergistic adjustments in tumor cells. Herein, a mass-spectrometric method based on a duplexspecific-nuclease (DSN)-enzyme-assisted signal-amplification technique was proposed for label-free and multiplexed detection of multiple miRNAs, and applied to the quantification of three miRNAs (i.e., miRNA-141, miRNA-21, and let-7a) in samples of HeLa and MDA-MB231 cell extracts.

“…Therefore, detection of disease-specific miRNA in vivo can effectively diagnose diseases and develop personalized treatment schemes. Electrochemistry, 1 surface-enhanced Raman scattering, 2 mass spectrometry, 3 microchip electrophoresis, 4 chemiluminescence imaging array, 5 surface plasmon resonance 6 have been developed for the detection of miRNA. These assays have utilized the different strategies and each of them has respective advantages.…”

“…Compared with spectroscopic-technique-based biosensors, mass spectrometry has the advantage of excellent specificity. However, its detection limit for direct detection of miRNA is generally in the nanomolar level. , One of the main reasons for the relatively low sensitivity of mass spectrometry for miRNAs is the low ionization efficiency of miRNAs. , Various methods including organic mass tags, metal element labeling, and isothermal amplification are used to increase the ionization efficiency and enhance the sensitivity for miRNA detection. Among them, metal nanoparticles are quite promising mass tags offering high detection sensitivity because of the presence of many thousands of metal atoms in a single metal nanoparticle of a 10 nm diameter. Although the sensitivity problem of mass spectrometry for miRNA detection is effectively solved by mass tagging techniques, its specificity is lost since the mass spectral signals come from the mass tags instead of miRNAs themselves, and the discrimination between the target miRNAs from nontarget ones with SNPs is based on the differences in their mass spectral intensities. Mass spectrometric methods possessing both high sensitivity and specificity are highly desired for the detection of miRNAs.…”
