A novel multiplexed method for short RNA detection that employs an enzymatic capture reaction onto DNA-modified silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) followed by nanoparticle-enhanced surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) is demonstrated. SiNPs functionalized with 5'-phosphorylated single stranded DNA (ssDNA) are used with T4 RNA ligase to capture various short 20-24 base single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) oligonucleotides from a target solution. The ssRNA-modified SiNPs are collected from the target solution, specifically adsorbed onto a cDNA microarray and then detected with SPRI. The use of DNA-modified SiNPs to capture ssRNA for profiling has several advantages as compared to a planar SPRI surface bioaffinity adsorption format: (i) the target solution is exposed to a larger total surface area for the RNA ligation reaction; (ii) the SiNPs enhance the diffusion rate of the ssRNA to the surface; (iii) the SiNPs can be collected, washed, and preconcentrated prior to detection; and (iv) the ssRNA-modified SiNPs give an enhanced SPRI signal upon hybridization adsorption to the microarray. Our initial measurements demonstrate that this detection method can be used to detect multiple ssRNA sequences at concentrations as low as 100 fM in 500 μL.
