520 3 |a DNA is a type of promising material for the construction of sensors owing to its sequence programmability to control the formation of certain structures. MicroRNA (miRNA) can be applied as promising biomarkers for the diagnosis of a range of diseases. Herein, a novel fluorescent sensing strategy for miRNA is proposed combining duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-mediated amplification and dumbbell DNA structural switch. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are employed, which provide a 3D reaction interface. They also act as effective fluorescence quenchers. The proposed sensor exhibits high sensitivity (sub-femtomolar level) with a wide dynamic range. In addition, excellent selectivity to distinguish homology sequences is achieved. It also performs satisfactorily in biological samples. Overall, this fluorescent sensor provides a powerful tool for the analysis of miRNA levels and can be applied for related biological studies and clinical diagnosis. © 2022 by the authors.
