Nanomaterials provide an ideal platform for biomolecular display due to their dimensions approach the molecular scale, facilitating binding behavior akin to that observed in solution-based processes. DNA nanoprobes hold great promise as miniature detectives capable of detecting miRNAs within cells. However, current nanoprobes face a challenge in achieving the required precision for accurate miRNA detection, particularly within the intricate confines of the cellular microenvironment, due to interference with biological autofluorescence, off-target effects, and a lack of spatiotemporal control. Here, we have designed a dual-stimuli responsive DNA tracker, synergistically utilizing specific intracellular cues and external triggers, which enables spatiotemporal-controlled and precise detection and imaging of miRNAs "on demand". The tracker, which combines zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) and unique hairpin DNA structures, effectively anchored onto the ZIF-67 through electrostatic interactions, remains in a dormant state until activated by abundant cellular ATP, resulting in the release of the hairpin structures that include a PC linker incorporated into the loop region. Subsequent irradiation triggers specific recognition of the target miRNA. The newly developed HP-PC-BT@ZIF-67 tracker demonstrates precise spatiotemporal miRNA detection and exhibits excellent biocompatibility, enabling specific miRNA recognition "on demand" within cancer cells. This research presents a reliable miRNA imaging platform in the intricate cellular environment, opening up the possibilities for precise biomedical analysis and disease diagnosis.
