Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the brain worldwide. Currently, there is no effective cure. But accurate and early diagnosis of AD is critical to the development of patient care and future treatments. MiRNA-16 has been considered as an effective diagnostic biomarker for AD because of its regulatory effect on key proteins of AD. Herein, a colorimetric lateral flow assay (LFA) was developed for sensitive detection of miRNA-16 based on entropy-driven catalysis (EDC) amplification strategy. MiRNA-16 triggered EDC and released more linker DNAs (LDNA) of sandwich structure. Thus, AuNPs were enriched at the T-line to enhance the colorimetric signal and improve the sensitivity of visual assay. It showed good specificity and sensitivity for detecting miRNA-16 with a detection limit of 1.01 pM. The practical detection of miRNA-16 in human serum obtained satisfactory result. Significantly, EDC achieved signal amplification in homogeneous solution without enzyme and DNA labeling, leading to a cheap and easy detection of miRNA-16. Therefore, it provided a portable and rapid assay for AD-related nucleic acid, which holds a potential for point-of-care testing (POCT) of AD.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of human diseases. Sensitive and selective detection of multiple miRNAs simultaneously will greatly facilitate the early and accurate diagnosis of cancers. Herein, a novel entropy-driven amplification system-templated silver nanoclusters sensing platform was developed for the multiplexed analysis of tumor-associated miRNAs. The sensing platform was constructed by coupling target-triggered entropy-driven catalysis with luminescence adjustable DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs). In the presence of target miRNA, the sensing platform initiates the branch migration and strand displacement of the complex, which has a six-base cytosine loop for stabilizing the luminous Ag NCs. The target is cyclically generated for new catalysis while turning off the fluorescence of Ag NCs; this is accompanied by a significantly amplified optical readout. In this study, two different complex-stabilized Ag NCs systems were proposed, the yellow-emitting Ag NCs and red-emitting Ag NCs biosensors enabled the analysis of miRNA-141 and miRNA-155 with detection limits of 6.1 pM and 8.7 pM, respectively. Impressively, owing to the excellent selectivity, flexibility, and narrow-band excitation of the platform, the multiplexed synchronous detection of miRNA-141 and miRNA-155 were achieved in buffer, biological cell lysates and human serum samples with satisfactory results. The simple, flexible, and convenient strategy provides a powerful tool for multiple biomarkers analysis and related clinical applications.
