Cancers remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is crucial to detect cancer at an early stage for improving survival rates. Biomarkers have precise implications for cancer progression. Here, we built a straightforward DNA probe system that could be activated by near-infrared light to detect dual miRNAs with a high specificity. This probe is built on the basis of upconversion nanoparticles, which could emit ultraviolet light and activate DNA probes adsorbed on the outer layer. The DNA probe system is remotely controlled through manipulation of the near-infrared (NIR) light, enabling simultaneous detection of dual miRNAs. The DNA nanosystem could be effectively endocytosed by cancer cells and reflect expression levels of dual miRNAs. Overall, this study demonstrates a promising remote-controlled DNA nanoplatform for the simultaneous detection of dual miRNAs, which has tremendous potential for precise cancer diagnostics and therapies.
