The invention provides a method for detecting a
cancer marker miR-155 by using a
biosensor for dynamically regulating and controlling Cas12a trans-cleavage activity by utilizing catalytic hairpin
assembly mediated transcription pre-crRNA. A transcription template containing a T7
promoter is formed by catalyzing a hairpin
assembly (CHA) reaction, so that self-supply of pre-crRNA is realized. Specifically, pre-crRNA and trigger are hybridized to form a compound, after the compound is combined with Cas12a
protein, the self-
processing function of the pre-crRNA is triggered, and then the cleavage activity of Cas12a is reassembled and activated, so that regulation and control of the Cas12a are realized. A detection
signal is amplified in a
cascade manner by combining a catalytic hairpin
assembly reaction with a T7
RNA polymerase mediated
signal amplification module, so that high-sensitivity and high-specificity detection of miR-155 is realized, and the
detection limit reaches 86 aM. The sensor shows good reliability, low background interference,
operability and programmability in a complex sample, and can be applied to detection of miR-155 in
tumor cells.
