This invention discloses a miRNA detection
system, kit, and detection method based on
DNA aggregation-induced
precipitation as a
signal output. The detection
system comprises:
a DNA triangle, a hairpin-structured probe H1, a hairpin-structured probe H2, and
a DNA double-stranded
linker with sticky ends. Probes H1 and H2 can generate
DNA double-stranded strands H1-H2 with sticky ends at both ends through a catalytic hairpin self-
assembly reaction. Probe H1 contains a sequence complementary to the miRNA sequence to be detected. The
DNA triangle has sticky ends at its first and second corners, complementary to both ends of the DNA double-stranded
linker, and a sticky end at its third corner, complementary to both ends of DNA double-stranded strands H1-H2. This invention achieves
highly sensitive and
specific detection of miRNAs without the need for complex instruments and equipment, making it suitable for on-site, real-time detection.
