Due to the high stability of miRNAs in exosomes, the miRNAs are expected to be tumor markers with great potential in liquid biopsy, and specific exosome miRNAs such as bladder cancer serum exosome miRNAs have important clinical values in the aspects of disease diagnosis, disease course monitoring and the like.

Various isothermal amplification techniques such as chain hybridization reaction (HCR), Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA), chain displacement reaction (SDA), catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA), DNA nanomachines (DNAzyme walker) and the like, which are currently developed, can achieve effective signal amplification.

Subsequently, 150. mu.L of nanogold solution (prepared in example 3) was added, and PBS (pH 7.4) was added to make up the volume to 400. mu.L, and left to stand overnight. Adding 4 mu L of 1% SDS the next day, incubating for 20min, adding 2M sodium chloride solution, adding once every 30min, performing ultrasonic treatment for 10s after each addition to prevent sodium chloride from caking, increasing the final concentration of sodium chloride in the system by 0.1M each time until the final concentration of sodium chloride in the system reaches 0.7M, and standing overnight.

Example 5
Feasibility of DNAzymes as Signal amplifiers
Validation of the feasibility of DNAzyme amplification was performed in liquid phase, and electrophoresis was performed on 20% PAGE gels in TBE buffer. The sample is divided into 8 groups, and the sample loading amount of each group is 10 mu L. The sample was DNAzyme-133b (2. mu.M, 12. mu.L), target miRNA-133b (2. mu.M, 12. mu.L), Substrate-133b (2. mu.M, 3. mu.L) and Mg2+(5mM, 3.5. mu.L) and make up to 35. mu.L with Tris-HCl. Sample loading after reaction for 3h at 37 ℃: lane 1: DNAzyme chain (D); lane 2: target (t); lane 3: substrate (S); lane 4: d + T; lane 5: d + S; lane 6: d + T + S; lane 7: d + S + Zn2+(ii) a Lane 8: d + T + S + Mg2+. The PAGE results (figure 3) show that when the target is hybridized to the DNAzyme strand, the hairpin structure opens, resulting in a change in the conformation of the DNAzyme strand, with the DNAzyme/miRNA band (lane 4) being significantly different from the DNAzyme strand band alone (lane 1). When targeting miRNA and Mg2+In the absence of either or both, DNAzymes are inactive and do not trigger the cleavage reaction, so the substrate band remains intact ( lanes 5, 6, 7). When the target ismiRNA and Mg2+In the presence of the same, DNAzyme hybridised to the target miRNA, the substrate was sheared and the substrate band disappeared (lane 8). The PAGE results confirmed the feasibility of DNAzyme-133b as a signal amplifier.
PAGE electrophoresis was performed using DNAzyme-135b and Substrate-135b and the target miRNA-135b, and the results were consistent.
In the embodiment, firstly, the designed DNAzyme chain is verified to be capable of shearing a substrate in the presence of a target and metal ions in a liquid phase (the result can be presented by PAGE electrophoresis), and a foundation is laid for further coupling the DNAzyme chain and the substrate on the surface of the nanogold and realizing signal amplification.

The step of extracting exosomes was performed according to the instructions in the kit, and total RNA of serum exosomes was extracted with TRIzol, dissolved in 10 μ L of DEPC water, and divided into two equal volumes. The two CDs-SNA solutions prepared in example 4 were mixed in equal volume, and the total RNA solution extracted from the serum exosomes was added by the method of example 6 and reacted at 37 ℃ for 3 hours. The fluorescence spectrum was measured with a fluorescence spectrophotometer. And calculating the concentrations of two miRNAs in the extracted serum exosomes according to the relation between the fluorescence intensity and the target concentration. Meanwhile, Ct values of miR-133b and miR-135b in another total RNA are determined by qPCR. And (3) carrying out qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) experiments after miR-133b and miR-135b standard substances are diluted according to gradient, and obtaining a standard curve according to the relation between the copy number and the Ct value (figure 7). Thereby calculating the concentrations of both mirnas.
The concentration of 2 miRNAs in serum exosomes was calculated from fluorescence spectra and standard curves, and the results are shown in FIG. 8. in the method of example 6 of the present invention (NC-SNA, BC-SNA), miR-135b expression in serum exosomes of bladder cancer patients (BC) was increased and miR-133b expression was decreased compared to Normal Controls (NC), which is similar to the concentrations calculated by qPCR methods (NC-PCR, BC-PCR). Therefore, the multicolor CDs-SNA-based exosome miRNA detection method is suitable for quantitative detection of miRNA in serum exosomes. Meanwhile, compared with qPCR, the method does not need complex operation steps such as reverse transcription and amplification, and can realize simultaneous and multiple detection under the same system.
