Abstract
Cancer has become the second leading cause of death in the world, and more than 50% of cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Early diagnosis of tumours is the key to improving patient quality of life and survival time and reducing the socioeconomic burden. However, there is still a lack of reliable early diagnosis methods in clinical practice. In recent years, liquid biopsy technology has developed rapidly. It has the advantages of noninvasiveness, easy access to sample sources, and reproducibility. It has become the main focus of research on the early diagnosis methods of tumours. This review summarises the research progress of existing liquid biopsy markers, such as circulating tumour DNA, circulating viral DNA, DNA methylation, circulating tumour cells, circulating RNA, exosomes, and tumour education platelets in early diagnosis of tumours, and analyses the current advantages and limitations of various markers, providing a direction for the application and transformation of liquid biopsy research in early diagnosis of clinical tumours.

Abstract
The electrochemiluminescence and resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) method was adopted to detect miRNAs, in which the two-dimensional Ti3C2 Mxenes with high surface area modified with CdS:W nanocrystals (CdS:W NCs) were used as ECL signal emitter. Mxenes with a specific surface area of 5.2755 m2/g carried more emitters and promote ECL intensity. As an energy acceptor, BiOCl nanosheets (BiOCl NSs) have a wide UV-Vis absorption peak in the range 250 nm-700 nm, including the emission band of CdS:W NCs with 520 nm emission wavelength. Hence, BiOCl NSs are covalently bound to hairpin DNA 2 by amide bond to quench the ECL signal of CdS:W NCs. In the presence of miRNA-141, the hairpin DNA 1 modified on the GCE was unfold and then paired with hairpin DNA 2 to release miRNA-141 and quench the signal of the ECL biosensor. Then, the concentration signal of miRNA-141 was amplified by catalytic hairpin assembly. The novel specific biosensor demonstrated a satisfactory linear relationship with miRNA-141 in the range 0.6 pM to 4000 pM; the detection limit was as low as 0.26 pM (3 s/m) under the potential of 0 ~ -1.3 V and showed outstanding RSD of 1.19%. The findings of the present work with high accuracy and sensitivity will be of positive significance for the clinical diagnosis of miRNA in the future work.

Abstract
Abnormal expression of miRNAs is often detected in various human cancers. DNAzyme machines combined with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) hold promise for detecting specific miRNAs in living cells but show short circulation time due to the fragility of catalytic core. Using miRNA-21 as the model target, by introducing a circular bulging DNA shield into the middle of the catalytic core, we report herein a self-protected DNAzyme (E) walker capable of fully stepping on the substrate (S)-modified AuNP for imaging intracellular miRNAs. The DNAzyme walker exhibits 5-fold enhanced serum resistance and more than 8-fold enhanced catalytic activity, contributing to the capability to image miRNAs much higher than commercial transfection reagent and well-known FISH technique. Diseased cells can accurately be distinguished from healthy cells. Due to its universality, DNAzyme walker can be extended for imaging other miRNAs only by changing target binding domain, indicating a promising tool for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has been increasingly applied in nucleic acid detection for clinical diagnosis and monitoring pathogenic microorganisms due to its isothermal nature and high sensitivity. However, the false-positive signal resulting from the non-specific amplification and the complexity of primer design are still technically challenging for wide applications. In this paper, we developed the CRISPR/Cas12a-assisted sequence-specific detection of LAMP products to eliminate the effect of non-specific amplification from primer dimers and spurious amplicons. Moreover, by designing a pair of target-specific stem-loop DNA probes, we greatly simplified the primer design for LAMP. The DNA probes could be ligated to form a double-stem-loop DNA template by the detected target, which initiated LAMP reaction and achieved one-nucleotide resolution due to the highly specific ligase reaction. Using microRNAs (miRNAs) as the model targets, the CRISPR/Cas12a-assisted ligation-initiated loop-mediated isothermal amplification (CAL-LAMP) can sensitively detect as low as 0.1 fM miRNAs with high specificity.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of regulatory small RNA molecules that play critical roles in a wide variety of biological processes. Abnormally expressed miRNAs have been increasingly utilized as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Generally, a specific cancer is associated with expression alterations of several species of miRNAs and different types of cancers are related to different miRNA species. Therefore, a universal method for multiplexed detection of miRNA targets of interest is now desirable for cancer diagnosis. In this paper, by adding an enzymatic digestion step to reduce the nonspecific adaptor dimers, we firstly improved the method to construct cDNA library of all miRNAs, which greatly increased the cDNA yield. By specifically designing DNA probes to hybridize with the cDNAs at key positions and doubly encoding DNA probes with different lengths and different fluorophores during single-base extension, each miRNA could produce a unique product, which could be separated and detected by capillary electrophoresis. Thus, miRNA targets of interest could be simultaneously detected with great specificity at single-base resolution. By using seventeen randomly selected miRNAs as the model, as low as 1.0 fM of each miRNA target could be simultaneously determined. Furthermore, we had achieved accurate analysis of multiple miRNAs in real biological RNA samples and found that several miRNAs expressed differently between cancer cells and normal cells, indicating that the proposed method had the ability to pick out aberrant expression miRNAs in real biological samples. Compared with high-throughput sequencing methods, the proposed method is simpler and specific, and very suitable for the detection of specific miRNAs associated with a disease, which shows great potential for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Real-time quantitative monitoring of miRNAs plays an essential role in diagnosis and therapeutics. Herein, a DSN-coupled graphene nanoarray/gold nanoparticles (GNAs/AuNPs) carbon paper (CP) electrode for the dynamic, sensitive, and real-time analysis of miRNAs is reported. GNAs are vertically grown on the conductive CP by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and AuNPs are electrodeposited on CP/GNAs to build a 3D ultrasensitive sensing interface with large specific surface area, good conductivity and biocompatibility. The dynamic quantitative monitoring of microRNA-21 (miR-21) is realized by cyclic voltammetry with a series of different concentrations within 16 min, and this 3D GNAs/AuNPs DNA-circuit strip shows good performance for the simultaneous detection of miR-21 and miR-155, and the detection limits are as low as 21.4 and 30.3 am, respectively. Moreover, comparable detection results are achieved for clinical samples between the proposed sensor and qRT-PCR, suggesting the reliability of the constructed sensor. This ultrasensitive sensing and disposable DNA-circuit strip with 3D structure can efficiently shorten the diffusion distance between reactive biomolecules and the sensing interface, enhance the hybridization of probes and improve the sensitivity of the biosensor, holding great promise for the rapid, quantitative and dynamic monitoring of multiple low concentrations of biomolecules in point-of-care clinical analysis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in various biological processes and act as important biomarkers for clinical cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. Here, we took advantage of Cas12a trans-cleavage activity to develop an enzyme-assisted cascade amplification method for isothermal miRNA detection. A target miRNA-initiated ligation reaction would allow for the production of transcription templates that triggered the transcriptional amplification of RNA strands. These RNA strands were cleaved by the 8-17E DNAzyme to generate crRNAs and recycled RNAs which have the same sequence as the target miRNA. The amplified abundant crRNAs bound to Cas12a and dsDNA activators to form the complex, which trans-cleaved the ssDNA reporters to generate a fluorescence signal for miRNA quantitative analysis. The proposed method exhibits a femtomolar limit of detection and a good specificity in distinguishing the homologous sequences of miRNAs. Its practical application ability was further tested in different cell lines.

Abstract
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is one of the most common forms of inherited mental retardation; it is usually associated with the transcriptional silencing of the Fmr1 gene and loss of its encoded protein, the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is an RNA-binding protein and participates in regulating the development of dendritic spines and synaptic plasticity. To uncover the possible role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in FXS and their relationship with FMRP, we used microarray analysis to investigate the miRNA expression profiles in the hippocampal tissues of Fmr1 knockout (Fmr1-KO) mice and wild type (WT) mice. A total of 75 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, of which 58 were significantly upregulated and no miRNAs were significantly downregulated in Fmr1-KO mice. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was applied to validate the expression of 7 upregulated miRNAs; results indicated that the levels of only miR-449a and miR-720 were significantly upregulated. We further used bioinformatics software and databases to predict the target genes of these two miRNAs. The genes were related to dendritic spine development and synaptic plasticity; the qRT-PCR and western blotting results showed that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) and synaptotagmin 1 (SYT1) were differentially expressed in the Fmr1-KO mice and WT mice. In conclusion, this study evidenced diverse changes in the expression of miRNAs, and validated the miRNAs and their targeted genes in Fmr1-KO mice. Although further studies are required to better understand the function of miRNAs in FXS, the present research highlights a potential role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of FXS.

The lethal-7 (let-7) family is an important microRNA (miRNA) group that usually exerts functions as a tumor suppressor. We aimed to evaluate the expression profile of let-7a, let-7b, let-7c, let-7d, let-7e, let-7f, let-7g, and let-7i and to assess their value as prognostic markers in uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) patients. The miRNAs expression profile was assessed in 34 LMS and 13 normal myometrium (MM) paraffin-embedded samples. All let-7 family members showed downregulation in LMS. Our findings showed that patients with let-7e downregulation had worse overall survival (OS) and is an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.24). In addition, almost half the patients had distant metastasis. LMS patients with downregulated let-7b and let-7d had worse disease-free survival (DFS); they are not independent prognostic factors (HR = 2.65). Patients’ ages were associated with let-7d, let-7e and let-7f (p = 0.0160) downregulation. In conclusion, all the let-7 family members were downregulated in LMS patients, and the greater the loss of expression of these molecules, the greater their relationship with worse prognosis of patients. Let-7e expression might influence the OS, while let-7b and le-7d might influence the DFS. The lowest expression levels of let-7d, let-7e, and let-7f were associated with the oldest patients. Our findings indicate strong evidence of let-7’s role as a potential prognostic biomarker in LMS.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in many biological processes. Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a highly infectious pathogen that can cause severe disease in pets, economically important animals and wildlife. In this study, miRNAs associated with FPV infection were identified using high-throughput sequencing. Our results showed that 673 known miRNAs and 278 novel miRNAs were identified and 57 significantly differential expression miRNAs were found post-FPV infection in feline kidney cell line. Stem-loop qRT-PCR was applied to validate the expression of the randomly selected miRNAs; the results were consistent with the sequencing data. Furthermore, the target genes of differential expression miRNAs were analyzed and predicated by GO and KEGG pathway. Altogether, our analysis provides a potential link between miRNA expression and the pathogenesis of FPV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA plays a significant role in gene regulation and is usually regarded as an important biological marker. Electrochemical biosensors are excellent tools for microRNA detection. METHODS In this experiment, we take miRNA-21 as a target, combining catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and rolling circle amplification (RCA) as a dual signal amplification strategy for the detection of microRNA in an electrochemical biosensor. RESULTS This strategy has a good linear range of 0.5-12 500 pmol of microRNA. The limit of detection (LOD) for miRNA is as low as 290 fmol, showing excellent performance. Finally, this method has been successfully applied to the detection of miRNA-21 from HeLa cells. CONCLUSION This method can be applied not only for microRNA detection with high sensitivity and speed, but can also detect small molecules and proteins combined with aptamers.

Abstract
We propose a ratiometric electrochemical assay for detecting microRNA (miRNA) on the basis of dual-amplification mechanism by using distinguishable electrochemical signals from thionine (Thi) and ferrocene (Fc). The thiol-modified and ferrocene-labeled hairpin capture probes (CP) are first immobilized on an Au electrode via Au-S reaction. The target miRNA hybridizes with CP and unfolding the hairpin structure of CP to form miRNA-DNA duplexes. Then, kamchatka crab duplex specific nuclease (DSN) specifically cleaves the DNA in miRNA-DNA duplexes, leading to the release of miRNA and another cleaves cycle, meanwhile, numerous Fc leaves away from the electrode surface and leads to the signal-off of Fc. The residual fragment on electrode surface acts as a HCR primer to form dsDNA polymers through in situ HCR with the presence of the primer and two probes (HDNA and HDNA'), resulting in the capture of numerous DNA/Au NPs/Thi and the signal-on of Thi. The dual-amplification mechanism significantly amplifies the decrease of Fc signal and the increase of Thi signal for ratiometric readout (IThi/IFc), thus providing a sensitive method for the selective detection of miR-141 with a detection limit down to 11aM. The dual-signal ratiometric outputs have an intrinsic self-calibration to the effects from system, which is promising to be applied in biosensing and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
A target-switched DNA nanotweezer is designed for AND logic gate operation and enzyme-free detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) by catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and proximity-dependent DNAzyme formation. The double crossover motif-based nanotweezer consists of an arched structure as the set strand for target inputs and two split G-rich DNAs at the termini of two arms for signal output. Upon a CHA, a small amount of binary target inputs can switch numerous open nanotweezers to a closed state, which leads to the formation of proximity-dependent DNAzyme in the presence of hemin to produce a highly sensitive biosensing system. The binary target inputs can be used for successful building of AND logic gate, which is validated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, surface plasmon resonance and the biosensing signal.

Abstract
A novel G-quadruplex DNAzyme-driven chemiluminescence (CL) imaging method was developed for ultrasensitive and specific detection of miRNA based on the cascade exponential isothermal amplification reaction (EXPAR) machinery. A structurally tailored hairpin probe switch was designed to selectively recognise miRNA and form hybridisation products to trigger polymerase and nicking enzyme machinery, resulting in the generation of product I, which was complementary to a region of the functional linear template. Then, the response of the functional linear template to the generated product I further activated the exponential isothermal amplification machinery, leading to synthesis of numerous horseradish peroxidase mimicking DNAzyme units for CL signal transduction. The amplification paradigm generated a linear response from 10 fM to 100 pM, with a low detection limit of 2.91 fM, and enabled discrimination of target miRNA from a single-base mismatched target. The developed biosensing platform demonstrated the advantages of isothermal, homogeneous, visual detection for miRNA assays, offering a promising tool for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Nucleic acid biomarkers have enormous potential in non-invasive diagnostics and disease management. In medical research and in the near future in the clinics, there is a great demand for accurate miRNA, mRNA, and ctDNA identification and profiling. They may lead to screening of early stage cancer that is not detectable by tissue biopsy or imaging. Moreover, because their cost is low and they are non-invasive, they can become a regular screening test during annual checkups or allow a dynamic treatment program that adjusts its drug and dosage frequently. We briefly review a few existing viral and endogenous RNA assays that have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration. These tests are based on the main nucleic acid detection technologies, namely, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR), microarrays, and next-generation sequencing. Several of the challenges that these three technologies still face regarding the quantitative measurement of a panel of nucleic acids are outlined. Finally, we review a cluster of microfluidic technologies from our group with potential for point-of-care nucleic acid quantification without nucleic acid amplification, designed to overcome specific limitations of current technologies. We suggest that integration of these technologies in a modular design can offer a low-cost, robust, and yet sensitive/selective platform for a variety of precision medicine applications.

Abstract
The expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is related to some cancer diseases. Recently, miRNAs have emerged as new candidate diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for detecting a wide variety of cancers. Due to low levels, short sequences and high sequence homology among family members, the quantitative miRNA analysis is still a challenge. A novel electrochemical biosensor with triple signal amplification for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA was developed based on phosphatase, redox-cycling amplification, a bimetallic Pd-Pt supported graphene functionalized screen-printed gold electrode, and two stem-loop structured DNAs as target capturers. The proposed biosensor is highly sensitive due to the enhanced electrochemical signal of Pd-Pt supported graphene and sufficiently selective to discriminate the target miRNA from homologous miRNAs in the presence of loop-stem structure probes with T4 DNA ligase. Therefore, this strategy provided a new and ultrasensitive platform for amplified detection and subsequent analysis of miRNA in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising targets for disease diagnosis. However, miRNA detection requires rapid, sensitive, and selective detection to be effective as a diagnostic tool. Herein, a miRNA-initiated exponential strand-displacement amplification (SDA) assay was reported. With the Klenow fragment, nicking enzyme Nt.AlwI, and two primers, the miRNA target can trigger two cycles of nicking, polymerization, and displacement reactions. These reaction cycles amplified the target miRNA exponentially and generated dsDNAs detectable with SYBR Green I in real-time PCR. As low as 16 zmol of the target miRNA was detected by this one-pot assay within 90 min, and the dynamic range spanned over 9 orders of magnitude. Negligible impact from the complex biological matrix was observed on the amplification reaction, indicating the assay's capability to directly detect miRNAs in biofluids.

Abstract
Comprehensive profiling of nucleic acids in genetically heterogeneous samples is important for clinical and basic research applications. Universal digital high-resolution melt (U-dHRM) is a new approach to broad-based PCR diagnostics and profiling technologies that can overcome issues of poor sensitivity due to contaminating nucleic acids and poor specificity due to primer or probe hybridization inaccuracies for single nucleotide variations. The U-dHRM approach uses broad-based primers or ligated adapter sequences to universally amplify all nucleic acid molecules in a heterogeneous sample, which have been partitioned, as in digital PCR. Extensive assay optimization enables direct sequence identification by algorithm-based matching of melt curve shape and Tm to a database of known sequence-specific melt curves. We show that single-molecule detection and single nucleotide sensitivity is possible. The feasibility and utility of U-dHRM is demonstrated through detection of bacteria associated with polymicrobial blood infection and microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with host response to infection. U-dHRM using broad-based 16S rRNA gene primers demonstrates universal single cell detection of bacterial pathogens, even in the presence of larger amounts of contaminating bacteria; U-dHRM using universally adapted Lethal-7 miRNAs in a heterogeneous mixture showcases the single copy sensitivity and single nucleotide specificity of this approach.

Abstract
Rapid and simple methods for microRNA (miRNA) detection are essential for biological research of miRNAs and clinical diagnosis. Here we describe a sensitive and specific real time RT-PCR (also RT-qPCR) method for miRNA quantification. The whole detection process including reverse transcription and PCR is performed in one PCR tube by a one-step operation on a real-time PCR system. The results display a wide linear range from 0.1 amol to 10 fmol with a detection limit of 12.6 zmol for miRNA let-7a detection. Let-7a in small RNA samples extracted from tumor cells has been successfully detected by this method. This method is cost-effective, simple and rapid, and has the advantages in the high-throughput routing assay of given miRNAs, as well as in non-model research that has less specific kits and reagents.
