▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Visual sensor based on nucleic acid self-assembly and enzymatic-free circular RNA (circRNA) live cell imaging comprising (i) high-efficiency intracellular delivery system based on graphene oxide (GO), and (ii) GO-based signal switch system, (iii) enzyme-free catalytic nucleic acid self-assembly dual signal amplification imaging system based on the combination of catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR), the visual sensor realizes that the detection of the sample to be tested needs to sequentially go through the GO to the CHA and HCR detection hairpin chain enrichment and delivery into the cell, in the presence of the target circRNA, triggering the double-signal amplification imaging system of non-enzyme-catalyzed nucleic acid self-assembly combined by CHA and HCR, and releasing the fluorophore quenched by GO to achieve dual signal output. USE - The sensor is useful for detecting circular RNA (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The sensor uses biocompatibility and fluorescence quenching effect of GO to complete the detection of target circRNA in living cells, solves cumbersome detection process of circRNA by traditional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, north blot and other detection methods, is difficult to sensitively visualize the problem, realizes rapid, high-sensitivity and high-selectivity visual detection of circRNA in living cells, and is more accurate, real-time and efficient in circRNA detection as biomarker.
