Biological and clinical studies have indicated that aberrant expression of circMTO1 served as a crucial biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients as well as a potential therapeutic target. However, the detection of circRNAs currently faces challenges such as homologous linear RNA interference and low-expression abundance of certain circRNAs. Therefore, we developed a triple amplification method based on catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) activation by back-splice junction (BSJ), resulting in CHA products that triggered primer exchange reaction to generate DNAzyme. Subsequently, DNAzyme cleaved the fluorescent reporter chain, enabling ultrasensitive detection of hepatocellular carcinoma-associated circMTO1 through the output fluorescence signal. The catalytic hairpin opening sequence within CHA specifically targeted the BSJ sequence in circRNA, thereby avoiding false positive signals observed in circRNA assays due to the recognition of homologous linear RNA molecules. Moreover, this triple amplification method facilitated sensitive detection of circRNA and addressed the issue of low-abundance expression levels associated with circMTO1 in HCC samples. Notably, our newly designed assay for detecting circRNA exhibited a linear range from 1 fM to 100 nM with a detection limit of 0.265 fM. Furthermore, it demonstrated excellent and consistent performance even within complex systems. Our proposed method enabled the specific and sensitive detection of circMTO1 in various cancer cells and blood samples from HCC patients, providing an innovative approach for investigating the role of circRNA in tumorigenesis and development while promoting its clinical application.
