Abstract:
A novel miRNA detection technique named Dumbbell probe initiated multi-Rolling Circle Amplification assisted CRISPR/Cas12a (DBmRCA) was developed relying on the ligation-free dumbbell probe and the high-sensitivity CRISPR/Cas12a signal out strategy. This DBmRCA assay streamlines miRNA quantification within a mere 30-min timeframe and with exceptional analytical precision. The efficacy of this method was validated by assessing miRNA levels in clinical samples, revealing distinct expression panel of miR-200a and miR-126 in lung cancer/adjacent/normal tissue specimens. Moreover, a predictive model was established to classify benign and malignant tumor. Due to its time efficiency, enhanced sensitivity, and streamlined workflow, this assay would be a reliable tool for miRNA analysis in clinical settings, offering potential guidance for early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
