In this work, a novel ratio electrochemical biosensing platform based on catalytic hairpin assembly target recovery to trigger dual-signal output was developed for ultrasensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA). To achieve the ratiometric dual-signal strategy, methylene blue (MB), an electrochemical indicator, was ingeniously loaded into the pores of graphene aerogel (GA) and metal–organic framework (MOF) composites with high porosity and large specific surface area, and another electrochemical indicator Fe-MOFs with distinct separation of redox potential was selected as a signal probe. Concretely, with the presence of the target miRNA, the CHA process was initiated and the signal probe was introduced to the electrode surface, producing abundant double-stranded H1-H2@Fe-MOFs-NH 2 . Then, the measurement and analysis of the prepared ratiometric electrochemical biosensor by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) showed that the introduction of the target miRNA led to an increase in the oxidation peak signal of Fe-MOFs (+0.8 V) and a decrease in the oxidation peak signal of MB (−0.23 V). Therefore, the peak current ratio of I Fe-MOFs / I MB could be employed to accurately reflect the actual concentration of miRNA. Under optimal conditions, the detection limit of the proposed biosensor was down to 50 aM. It was worth noting that the proposed biosensor exhibited excellent detection performance in a complex serum environment and tumor cell lysates, showing great potential in biosensing and clinical diagnosis.
