Fluctuation of nucleic acid expression and ultrasensitive and specific detection of these variations in expression is a crucial subject in molecular medicine and clinical theranostics. A novel DNAzyme-coupled branched hybridization chain reaction (b-HCR) assay is reported for efficient signal-amplified detection of miRNA in this study. This assay was composed of a translator (T) hybridized with miR-21 to initiate the first HCR by hairpin 1 (H-1) and hairpin 2 (H-2). The primary HCR provided a backbone chain for numerous branches budding through hairpin 3 (H-3) and hairpin 4 (H-4) assembles. In the presence of hemin, the G-rich domains embedded in H1 and H4 produce an active G-quadruplex DNAzyme upon exposure to a target that could catalyze the oxidation of colorless substrate to colored product. The present approach has the potential to be used for quantitative detection of miR-21 with a sensitivity and a dynamic range of 1 pM and 1 pM to 1 nM, respectively.
