ABSTRACT
MicroRNAs are types of small single-stranded endogenous highly conserved non-coding RNAs, which play main regulatory functions in a wide range of cellular and physiological events, such as proliferation, differentiation, neoplastic transformation, and cell regeneration. Recent findings have proved a close association between microRNAs expression and the development of many diseases, indicating the importance of microRNAs as clinical biomarkers and targets for drug discovery. However, due to a number of prominent characteristics like small size, high sequence similarity and low abundance, sensitive and selective identification of microRNAs has rather been a hardship through routine traditional assays, including quantitative polymerase chain reaction, microarrays, and northern blotting analysis. More recently, the soaring progression in nanotechnology and fluorimetric methodologies in combination with nanomaterials have promised microRNAs detection with high sensitivity, efficiency and selectivity, excellent reproducibility and lower cost. Therefore, this review will represent an overview of latest advances in microRNAs detection through nanomaterials-based fluorescent methods, like gold nanoparticles, silver and copper nanoclusters, graphene oxide, and magnetic silicon nanoparticles.
