A three-dimensional DNA tetrahedral nanostructure is constructed to support a walker strand on top and multiple track strands around it via the assembly of triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO). This design facilitates the regeneration of the sensing interface by simply adjusting pH conditions. On the basis of the tetrahedral DNA supported walking nanomachine, ultrasensitive electrochemical analysis of miRNA (miR-141) is achieved. Target miRNA assists the formation of three-way junction nanostructure. It contains a duplex region (hybridized by track and walker strands) that could be specially recognized and digested by certain nicking endonuclease. As a result, walker strand and target miRNA are released and move around the attached tracks for continuous cleavage reactions, releasing a larger number of signal reporters. By measuring the variation of signal responses, ultrasensitive analysis of miRNA is achieved. The limit of detection (LOD) is calculated to be 4.9 aM, which is rather low. In addition, the proposed method is successfully applied for the detection of miRNA in cell and serum samples, which could distinguish pathological information from healthy controls.
