ABSTRACT
Herein, CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (CPB PQDs)@poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (CPB@PMMA) nanospheres were used as energy donors with high Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency and exceptional biocompatibility for ultrasensitive dynamic imaging of tiny amounts of microRNAs in living cells. Impressively, compared with traditional homogeneous single QDs as energy donors, CPB@PMMA obtained by encapsulating numerous CPB PQDs into PMMA as energy donors could not only significantly increase the efficiency of FRET via improving the local concentration of CPB PQDs but also distinctly avoid the problem of cytotoxicity caused by divulged heavy metal ions entering living cells. Most importantly, in the presence of target miRNA-21, DNA dendrimer-like nanostructures labeled with 6-carboxy-tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) were generated by the exposed tether interhybridization of the Y-shape structure, which could wrap around the surface of CPB@PMMA nanospheres to remarkably bridge the distance of FRET and increase the opportunity for effective energy transfer, resulting in excellent precision and accuracy for ultrasensitive and dynamic imaging of miRNAs. As proof of concept, the proposed strategy exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity with a detection limit of 45.3 aM and distinctly distinguished drug-irritative miRNA concentration abnormalities with living cells. Hence, the proposed enzyme-free CPB@PMMA biosensor provides convincing evidence for supplying accurate information, which could be expected to be a powerful tool for bioanalysis, diagnosis, and prognosis of human diseases.
