A variety of nucleic acid amplification techniques have been integrated into different detection methods to promote the development of sensitive and convenient analysis of nucleic acids. However, it is still in urgent need to develop amplified nucleic acid biosensors for the analysis of susceptible gene and even distinguishing single-base mismatched DNA in complex biological samples. Benefiting from the achieved detection strategies, here we boost isothermal nucleic acid amplification by resorting to enzyme amplification, and combine this two-stage amplification method with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to develop a signal-on nucleic acid detection platform. Due to the high cleavage efficiency of Exonuclease III (Exo III), a large amount of trigger DNA are produced to initiate multiple hybridization chain reaction circles. The product structure tagged with Tamra is then anchored onto the plasmonic SERS substrate and meanwhile enriched. It is demonstrated that this detection platform is sensitive toward the myocardial infarction disease related gene. A detection limit of 1 fM for the gene analysis in a linear relationship in the wide range from 1 fM to 10nM is achieved, better than most of previous counterparts. Meanwhile, our developed detection platform exhibits a high selectivity for the target gene over mismatched analogues. Our strategy provides a robust tool for signal amplification of gene detection even in blood samples.
