Laborious and costly detection of miRNAs has brought challenges to its practical applications, especially for home health care, rigorous military medicine, and the third world. In this work, we present a pH-responsive miRNA amplification method, which allows the detection of miRNA just using a pH test paper. The operation is easy and no other costly instrument is involved, making the method very friendly. In our strategy, a highly efficient isothermal amplification of miRNA is achieved using an improved netlike rolling circle amplification (NRCA) technique. Large amounts of H+ can be produced as a byproduct during the amplification to induce significant changes of pH, which can be monitored directly using a pH test paper or pH-sensitive indicators. The degree of color changes depends on the amount of miRNA, making it possible for quantitative analysis. As an example, the method is successfully applied to quantify a miRNA (miR-21) in cancer cells. The results agree well with that from the prevalent qRT-PCR analysis. It is the first time that a paper-based point-of-care testing (POCT) is developed for the detection of miRNAs, which might promote the popularization of miRNAs working as biomarkers for diagnostic purposes.
