Abstract: By using carbon dots (CD) to label DNA as fluorophore by biological coupling method, combining with graphene oxide (GO) as quencher, CD-DNA/GO fluorescent nanoprobe was constructed, and developed for miRNA-21 detection. In CD-DNA/GO, the fluorescence of CD was quenched by GO through long-range resonance energy transfer (LrRET). In present of miRNA-21, the DNA bind with miRNA-21 to form duplex, releasing CD-DNA from GO and interrupting the LrRET, and the fluorescence of CD was recovery to achieve miRNA-21 detection by fluorescence "turn on" mode. The obtained the linear range for miRNA-21 was from 1 nmol/L to 500 nmol/L; the detection of limit was estimated to be 0.2 nmol/L by the miRNA-21 fluorescent nanoprobe. The nanoprobe was achieved for detection of miRNA-21 in situ live cell imaging, which provide the basic research for in situ diagnosis and treatment of leukemia.
