Résumé
Telomerase and microRNA (miRNA) are biomarkers closely related to tumors. Simultaneous detection of both markers can improve accuracy and reliability of early diagnosis. Based on the mechanism of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), two fluorescent DNA probes were designed for telomerase and miRNA-21. The probes were wrapped by gelatin through electrostatic interaction to form nanoparticles. After that, we synthesized molecularly imprinted coating of transferrin on the surface of gelatin nanoparticles, which can avoid the immune stress response and macrophage phagocytosis to help gelatin nanoparticles enter into the cells smoothly through endocytosis. Following with the degradation of gelatin in the cells, DNA probes were released to react with telomerase and miRNA-21 and lead to the change of the fluorescence signal. Thereby the simultaneous imaging of telomerase and miRNA-21 were successfully achieved in HeLa cells and HepG2 cells. The proposed strategy shows the simultaneous imaging for different biological markers with DNA probes by preventing them from being hydrolyzed with nucleases before the determination and achieves reliable method for early diagnosis of cancer.
