Abstract
:

It is a major clinical challenge for clinicians how to early find out minimal residual diseases (MRD) of leukemia. Here, we developed a smart detection system for MRD involving magnetic aptamer sgc8 probe (M-sgc8 probe) to capture CEM cells and rolling cycle amplification probe (RCA-sgc8 probe) to initiate RCA, producing a single-stranded tandem repeated copy of the circular template. The DNA products were hybridized with molecular beacon to generate the amplified fluorescence signal. An in vitro model to mimic MRD was established to evaluate the sensitivity of the smart detection system. The smart detection system was used to detect MRD in patients with T-ALL peri-chemotherapy, which could not only specifically captured T-ALL cells, but also significantly amplified fluorescence signals on them. The sensitivity was 1/20,000. These results indicate that the smart detection system with high specificity and sensitivity could more efficiently monitor the progress of T-ALL peri-chemotherapy.
