Abstract
Controlling DNA nanostructure interaction with protein is essential in developing nanodevices with programmable function, reactivity, and stability for biological and medical applications. Here, we show that the sequence-specific action of restriction endonucleases towards sharp triangular or rectangular DNA origami exhibits a novel, binary ‘on/off’ behaviour, as canonical recognition sites are either essentially fully reactive, or strongly resistant to enzymatic cutting. Moreover, introduction of structural defects in the sharp triangle can activate an otherwise unreactive site, with a site-to-defect distance of ∼50 nm. We argue that site reactivity is dependent upon programmable, mechanical coupling in the two-dimensional DNA origami, with specific structural elements, including DNA nicks and branches proximal to the sites that can function as negative(anti) determinants of reactivity. Empirically modelling the constraints to DNA degrees of freedom associated with each recognition site in the sharp triangle can rationalize the pattern of suppressed reactivity towards nine restriction endonucleases, in substantial agreement with the experimental results. These results provide a basis for a predictive understanding of structure-reactivity correlates of specific DNA nanostructures, which will allow a better understanding of the behaviour of nucleic acids under nanoscale confinement, as well as in the rational design of functional nanodevices based on self-assembling nucleic acids.

[PMID: 31100312 PMCID: PMC7171557 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2019.05.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2018] [Revised: 05/05/2019] [Accepted: 05/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
DNA nanostructures hold great potential for drug delivery. However, their specific targeting is often compromised by recognition by scavenger receptors involved in clearance. In our previous study in cell culture, we showed targeting specificity of a 180 nm, 4-layer DNA-built nanocarrier called 3DNA coupled with antibodies against intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a glycoprotein overexpressed in the lungs in many diseases. Here, we examined the biodistribution of various 3DNA formulations in mice. A formulation consisted of 3DNA whose outer-layer arms were hybridized to secondary antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates. Anchoring IgG on this formulation reduced circulation and kidney accumulation vs. non-anchored IgG, while increasing liver and spleen clearance, as expected for a nanocarrier. Anchoring anti-ICAM changed the biodistribution of this antibody similarly, yet this formulation specifically accumulated in the lungs, the main ICAM-1 target. Since lung targeting was modest (2-fold specificity index over IgG formulation), we pursued a second preparation involving direct hybridization of primary antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates to 3DNA. This formulation had prolonged stability in serum and showed a dramatic increase in lung distribution: the specificity index was 424-fold above a matching IgG formulation, 144-fold more specific than observed for PLGA nanoparticles of similar size, polydispersity, ζ-potential and antibody valency, and its lung accumulation increased with the number of anti-ICAM molecules per particle. Immunohistochemistry showed that anti-ICAM and 3DNA components colocalized in the lungs, specifically associating with endothelial markers, without apparent histological changes. The degree of in vivo targeting for anti-ICAM/3DNA-nanocarriers is unprecedented, for which this platform technology holds great potential to develop future therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials employed for enhanced drug delivery and therapeutic effects have been extensively investigated in the past decade. The outcome of current anticancer treatments based on conventional nanoparticles is suboptimal, due to the lack of biocompatibility, the deficient tumor targeting, the limited drug accumulation in the diseased region, etc. Alternatively, DNA-based nanocarriers have emerged as a novel and versatile platform to integrate the advantages of nanotechnologies and biological sciences, which shows great promise in addressing the key issues for biomedical studies. Rather than a genetic information carrier, DNA molecules can work as building blocks to fabricate programmable and bio-functional nanostructures based on Watson Crick base-pairing rules. The DNA-based materials have demonstrated unique properties, such as uniform sizes and shapes, pre-designable and programmable nanostructures, site-specific surface functionality and excellent biocompatibility. These intrigue features allow DNA nanostructures to carry functional moieties to realize precise tumor recognition, customized therapeutic functions and stimuli-responsive drug release, making them highly attractive in many aspects of cancer treatment. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in DNA-based self-assembled materials for the biomedical applications, such as molecular imaging, drug delivery for in vitro or in vivo cancer treatments. We introduce the general strategies and essential requirements for fabricating DNA-based nanocarriers. We summarize the advances of DNA-based nanocarriers according to their functionalities and structural properties for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives regarding the detailed in vivo parameters of DNA materials and the design of intelligent DNA nanomedicine for individualized cancer therapy.

Abstract
Structural DNA nanotechnology takes DNA, a biopolymer, far beyond being the molecule that stores and transmits genetic information in biological systems. DNA has been employed as building blocks for the assembly of designed, nanoscaled, supramolecular DNA architectures for applications in biophysics, structure determination, synthetic biology, diagnostics, and drug delivery. Herein, we review a symmetric approach of tile-based DNA self-assembly. This approach allows the construction of DNA nanostructures from minimal numbers of different types of DNA strands based on sequence and structural symmetries. Some examples of the applications of this approach in siRNA delivery are discussed as well.

Abstract
Precise control of DNA base pairing has rapidly developed into a field full of diverse nanoscale structures and devices that are capable of automation, performing molecular analyses, mimicking enzymatic cascades, biosensing, and delivering drugs. This DNA-based platform has shown the potential of offering novel therapeutics and biomolecular analysis but will ultimately require clever modification to enrich or achieve the needed "properties" and make it whole. These modifications total what are categorized as the molecular hero suit of DNA nanotechnology. Like a hero, DNA nanostructures have the ability to put on a suit equipped with honing mechanisms, molecular flares, encapsulated cargoes, a protective body armor, and an evasive stealth mode.

Abstract
Structural DNA nanotechnology is beginning to emerge as a widely accessible research tool to mechanistically study diverse biophysical processes. Enabled by scaffolded DNA origami in which a long single strand of DNA is weaved throughout an entire target nucleic acid assembly to ensure its proper folding, assemblies of nearly any geometric shape can now be programmed in a fully automatic manner to interface with biology on the 1-100-nm scale. Here, we review the major design and synthesis principles that have enabled the fabrication of a specific subclass of scaffolded DNA origami objects called wireframe assemblies. These objects offer unprecedented control over the nanoscale organization of biomolecules, including biomolecular copy numbers, presentation on convex or concave geometries, and internal versus external functionalization, in addition to stability in physiological buffer. To highlight the power and versatility of this synthetic structural biology approach to probing molecular and cellular biophysics, we feature its application to three leading areas of investigation: light harvesting and nanoscale energy transport, RNA structural biology, and immune receptor signaling, with an outlook toward unique mechanistic insight that may be gained in these areas in the coming decade.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology research has long-held promise as a means of developing functional molecules capable of delivery to cells. Recent advances in DNA origami have begun to realize this potential but is still at the earliest stage and a number of hurdles remain. This review focuses on progress in addressing these hurdles and considers some of the challenges still outstanding. These include stability of such structures necessary to reach target cells after administration; methods of cell targeting and uptake; strategies to avoid or escape endosomes and techniques for achieving specific subcellular localization. Finally, the functionality that can be expected once DNA origami structures reach their final intracellular targets will be considered.

Abstract
A DNA tetrahedron as the most classical and simplest three-dimensional DNA nanostructure has been widely utilized in biomedicine and biosensing. However, the existing assembly approaches usually require harsh thermal annealing conditions, involve the formation of unwanted by-products, and have poor size control. Herein, a facile strategy to fabricate a discrete DNA tetrahedron as a single, thermodynamically stable product in a quantitative yield at room temperature is reported. This system does not require a DNA trigger or thermal annealing treatment to initiate self-assembly. This DNA tetrahedron was made of three chemically ligated triangular-shaped DNAs in unconventional ladder-like arrangements, with measured heights of ∼4.16 ± 0.04 nm, showing extra protections for enzymatic degradation in biological environment. They show substantial cellular uptake in different cell lines via temperature, energy-dependent and clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathways. These characteristics allow our DNA tetrahedron to be used as vehicles for the delivery of very small and temperature-sensitive cargos. This novel assembly strategy developed for DNA tetrahedra could potentially be extended to other highly complex polyhedra; this indicated its generalizability.

Abstract
Molecular self-assembling is ubiquitous in nature providing structural and functional machinery for the cells. In recent decades, material science has been inspired by the nature's assembly principles to create artificially higher-order structures customized with therapeutic and targeting molecules, organic and inorganic fluorescent probes that have opened new perspectives for biomedical applications. Among these novel man-made materials, DNA nanostructures hold great promise for the modular assembly of biocompatible molecules at the nanoscale of multiple shapes and sizes, designed via molecular programming languages. Herein, we summarize the recent advances made in the designing of DNA nanostructures with special emphasis on their application in biomedical research as imaging and diagnostic platforms, drug, gene, and protein vehicles, as well as theranostic agents that are meant to operate in-cell and in-vivo.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics, combing diagnostic and therapeutic components in an all-in-one nanomaterial, possess exciting potentials for precision nanomedicine. However, a major obstacle for current nanotheranostics to enter preclinical and/or clinical trials is the intrinsic toxicities of these nanomaterials. As an emerging biomaterial, the bioinspired DNA nanostructure shows advantages for constructing better nanotheranostics due to its excellent features, including native biocompatibility, full programmability, and ready accessibility. In this feature article, we highlight recent advances in the design of DNA-nanostructure-based diagnostics and/or therapeutics capable of specifically responding to biological stimuli in a dynamic way, with a particular focus on the design mechanism, responsive performance, and potential for preclinical and/or clinical trials in personalized theranostics.

Abstract
The discovery of sequence-specific hybridization has allowed the development of DNA nanotechnology, which is divided into two categories: 1) structural DNA nanotechnology, which utilizes DNA as a biopolymer; and 2) dynamic DNA nanotechnology, which focuses on the catalytic reactions or displacement of DNA structures. Recently, numerous attempts have been made to combine DNA nanotechnologies with functional DNAs such as aptamers, DNAzymes, amplified DNA, polymer-conjugated DNA, and DNA loaded on functional nanoparticles for various applications; thus, the new interdisciplinary research field of "functional DNA nanotechnology" is initiated. In particular, a fine-tuned nanostructure composed of functional DNAs has shown immense potential as a programmable nanomachine by controlling DNA dynamics triggered by specific environments. Moreover, the programmability and predictability of functional DNA have enabled the use of DNA nanostructures as nanomedicines for various biomedical applications, such as cargo delivery and molecular drugs via stimuli-mediated dynamic structural changes of functional DNAs. Here, the concepts and recent case studies of functional DNA nanotechnology and nanostructures in nanomedicine are reviewed, and future prospects of functional DNA for nanomedicine are indicated.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures are promising biomaterials capable of arranging multiple functional components with nanometer precision. Here, a double-bundle DNA tetrahedron is rationally designed to integrate with antisense oligonucleotides silencing proto-oncogene c-raf and nuclear targeting peptides. The functionalized DNA tetrahedron can be internalized by A549 cells and assists the delivery of antisense oligonucleotides toward the nucleus to increase the chance to downregulate target mRNA in nucleus and cytoplasm. Antisense strands released from the tetrahedron in response to the intracellular reducing environment can inhibit cell proliferation at a low concentration without transfection reagent. Finally, efficient knockdown of c-raf gene is observed, which verified our design. This designer DNA-based nanocarrier system will open a new avenue for efficient delivery of nucleic acid drugs.

Abstract
Designer nanoparticles with controlled shapes and sizes are increasingly popular vehicles for therapeutic delivery due to their enhanced cell-delivery performance. However, our ability to fashion nanoparticles has offered only limited control over these parameters. Structural DNA nanotechnology has an unparalleled ability to self-assemble three-dimensional nanostructures with near-atomic resolution features, and thus, it offers an attractive platform for the systematic exploration of the parameter space relevant to nanoparticle uptake by living cells. In this study, we examined the cell uptake of a panel of 11 distinct DNA-origami shapes, with the largest dimension ranging from 50-400 nm, in 3 different cell lines. We found that larger particles with a greater compactness were preferentially internalized compared with elongated, high-aspect-ratio particles. Uptake kinetics were also found to be more cell-type-dependent than shape-dependent, with specialized endocytosing dendritic cells failing to saturate over 12 h of study. The knowledge gained in the current study furthers our understanding of how particle shape affects cellular uptake and heralds the development of DNA nanotechnologies toward the improvement of current state-of-the-art cell-delivery vehicles.

Hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine nanovaccines: Boosting the immunological efficacy by conjugation of potent carrier proteins. NANOMEDICINE-NANOTECHNOLOGY BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 2018; 14:1655-1665.

Abstract
A series of hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine nanovaccines (NanoNicVac) were engineered in this work by conjugating potent carrier protein candidates (Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) multimer, KLH subunit, cross-reactive material 197 (CRM197), or tetanus toxoid (TT)) for enhanced immunological efficacy. NanoNicVac with CRM197 or TT were processed by dendritic cells more efficiently than that with KLH multimer or subunit. NanoNicVac carrying CRM197 or TT exhibited a significantly higher immunogenicity against nicotine and a considerably lower immunogenicity against carrier proteins than NanoNicVac carrying KLH multimer or subunit in mice. The in vivo results revealed that NanoNicVac with CRM197 or TT resulted in lower levels of nicotine in the brain of mice after nicotine challenge. All findings suggest that an enhanced immunological efficacy of NanoNicVac can be achieved by using CRM197 or TT instead of KLH or KLH subunit as carrier proteins, making NanoNicVac a promising next-generation immunotherapeutic candidate against nicotine addiction.

Abstract
The evergrowing need to understand and engineer biological and biochemical mechanisms has led to the emergence of the field of nanobiosensing. Structural DNA nanotechnology, encompassing methods such as DNA origami and single-stranded tiles, involves the base pairing-driven knitting of DNA into discrete one-, two-, and three-dimensional shapes at nanoscale. Such nanostructures enable a versatile design and fabrication of nanobiosensors. These systems benefit from DNA's programmability, inherent biocompatibility, and the ability to incorporate and organize functional materials such as proteins and metallic nanoparticles. In this review, we present a mix-and-match taxonomy and approach to designing nanobiosensors in which the choices of bioanalyte and transduction mechanism are fully independent of each other. We also highlight opportunities for greater complexity and programmability of these systems that are built using structural DNA nanotechnology. This article is categorized under: Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Nucleic Acid-Based Structures Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

Abstract
A photocrosslinkable protein G adapter was used to site-specifically conjugate complex native proteins to oligonucleotides, allowing for efficient incorporation on DNA origami nanostructures.
A photocrosslinkable protein G variant was used as an adapter protein to covalently and site-specifically conjugate an antibody and an Fc-fusion protein to an oligonucleotide. This modular approach enables straightforward decoration of DNA nanostructures with complex native proteins while retaining their innate binding affinity, allowing precise control over the nanoscale spatial organization of such proteins for in vitro and in vivo biomedical applications.

Abstract
The field of DNA nanoscience has demonstrated many exquisite DNA nanostructures and intricate DNA nanodevices. However, the operation of each step of prior demonstrated DNA nanodevices requires the diffusion of DNA strands, and the speed of these devices is limited by diffusion kinetics. Here we demonstrate chains of localized DNA hybridization reactions on the surface of a self-assembled DNA origami rectangle. The localization design for our DNA nanodevices does not rely on the diffusion of DNA strands for each step, thus providing faster reaction kinetics. The locality also provides considerable increased scalability, since localized components of the devices can be reused in other locations. A variety of techniques, including atomic force microscopy, total internal reflection fluorescence, and ensemble fluorescence spectroscopy, are used to confirm the occurrence of localized DNA hybridization reactions on the surface of DNA origami. There are many potential biological applications for our localized DNA nanodevices, and the localization design is extensible to applications involving DNA nanodevices operating on other molecular surfaces, such as those of the cell.

Abstract
Over the past decade, we have seen rapid advances in applying nanotechnology in biomedical areas including bioimaging, biodetection, and drug delivery. As an emerging field, DNA nanotechnology offers simple yet powerful design techniques for self-assembly of nanostructures with unique advantages and high potential in enhancing drug targeting and reducing drug toxicity. Various sequence programming and optimization approaches have been developed to design DNA nanostructures with precisely engineered, controllable size, shape, surface chemistry, and function. Potent anticancer drug molecules, including Doxorubicin and CpG oligonucleotides, have been successfully loaded on DNA nanostructures to increase their cell uptake efficiency. These advances have implicated the bright future of DNA nanotechnology-enabled nanomedicine. In this review, we begin with the origin of DNA nanotechnology, followed by summarizing state-of-the-art strategies for the construction of DNA nanostructures and drug payloads delivered by DNA nanovehicles. Further, we discuss the cellular fates of DNA nanostructures as well as challenges and opportunities for DNA nanostructure-based drug delivery.

Abstract
Current clinically-tested nicotine vaccines have yet shown enhanced smoking cessation efficacy due to their low immunogenicity. Achieving a sufficiently high immunogenicity is a necessity for establishing a clinically-viable nicotine vaccine. This study aims to facilitate the immunogenicity of a hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine vaccine by rationally incorporating toll-like receptor (TLR)-based adjuvants, including monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), Resiquimod (R848), CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 1826 (CpG ODN 1826), and their combinations. The nanoparticle-delivered model adjuvant was found to be taken up more efficiently by dendritic cells than the free counterpart. Nanovaccine particles were transported to endosomal compartments upon cellular internalization. The incorporation of single or dual TLR adjuvants not only considerably increased total anti-nicotine IgG titers but also significantly affected IgG subtype distribution in mice. Particularly, the nanovaccines carrying MPLA+R848 or MPLA+ODN 1826 generated a much higher anti-nicotine antibody titer than those carrying none or one adjuvant. Meanwhile, the anti-nicotine antibody elicited by the nanovaccine adjuvanted with MPLA+R848 had a significantly higher affinity than that elicited by the nanovaccine carrying MPLA+ODN 1826. Moreover, the incorporation of all the selected TLR adjuvants (except MPLA) reduced the brain nicotine levels in mice after nicotine challenge. Particularly, the nanovaccine with MPLA+R848 exhibited the best ability to reduce the level of nicotine entering the brain. Collectively, rational incorporation of TLR adjuvants could enhance the immunological efficacy of the hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine vaccine, making it a promising next-generation immunotherapeutic candidate for treating nicotine addiction.

Abstract
In the past few years, the study of therapeutic RNA nanotechnology has expanded tremendously to encompass a large group of interdisciplinary sciences. It is now evident that rationally designed programmable RNA nanostructures offer unique advantages in addressing contemporary therapeutic challenges such as distinguishing target cell types and ameliorating disease. However, to maximize the therapeutic benefit of these nanostructures, it is essential to understand the immunostimulatory aptitude of such tools and identify potential complications. This paper presents a set of 16 nanoparticle platforms that are highly configurable. These novel nucleic acid based polygonal platforms are programmed for controllable self-assembly from RNA and/or DNA strands via canonical Watson-Crick interactions. It is demonstrated that the immunostimulatory properties of these particular designs can be tuned to elicit the desired immune response or lack thereof. To advance the current understanding of the nanoparticle properties that contribute to the observed immunomodulatory activity and establish corresponding designing principles, quantitative structure-activity relationship modeling is conducted. The results demonstrate that molecular weight, together with melting temperature and half-life, strongly predicts the observed immunomodulatory activity. This framework provides the fundamental guidelines necessary for the development of a new library of nanoparticles with predictable immunomodulatory activity.

Abstract
DNA as a novel biomaterial can be used to fabricate different kinds of DNA nanostructures based on its principle of GC/AT complementary base pairing. Studies have shown that DNA nanostructure is a nice drug carrier to overcome big obstacles existing in cancer therapy such as systemic toxicity and unsatisfied drug efficacy. Thus, different types of DNA nanostructure-based drug delivery nanosystems have been designed in cancer therapy. To improve treating efficacy, they are also developed into more functional drug delivery nanosystems. In recent years, some important progresses have been made. The objective of this review is to make a retrospect and summary about these different kinds of DNA nanostructure-based drug delivery nanosystems and their latest progresses: (1) active targeting; (2) mutidrug co-delivery; (3) construction of stimuli-responsive/intelligent nanosystems.

Abstract
DNA plays an important role in the process of protein assembly. DNA viruses such as the M13 virus are typical examples in which single DNA genomes behave as templates to induce the assembly of multiple major coat protein (PVIII) monomers. Thus, the design of protein assemblies based on DNA templates attracts much interest in the construction of supramolecular structures and materials. With the development of DNA nanotechnology, precise 1D and 3D protein nanostructures have been designed and constructed by using DNA templates through DNA-protein interactions, protein-ligand interactions, and protein-adapter interactions. These DNA-templated protein assemblies show great potential in catalysis, medicine, light-responsive systems, drug delivery, and signal transduction. Herein, we review the progress on DNA-based protein nanostructures that possess sophisticated nanometer-sized structures with programmable shapes and stimuli-responsive parameters, and we present their great potential in the design of biomaterials and biodevices in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Contemporarily, a highly increasing attention was paid to nanoconstructs, particularly DNA nanostructures possessing precise organization, functional manipulation, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Amongst these DNA nanomaterials, tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) are a significantly ideal bionanomaterials with focusing on the property that can be internalized into cytoplasm in the absence of transfection. Therefore, the focus of this study was on investigating the influence of TDNs on the chondrocytes locomotion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tetrahedral DNA nanostructures was confirmed by 6% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Subsequently, the effect of TDNs on chondrocyte locomotion was investigated by real-time cell analysis (RTCA) and wound healing assay. The variation of relevant genes and proteins was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blotting and immunofluorescence respectively. RESULTS We demonstrated that tetrahedral DNA nanostructures have positive influence on chondrocytes locomotion and promoted the expression of RhoA, ROCK2 and vinculin. Additionally, upon exposure to TDNs with the concentration of 250 nmol L-1 , the chondrocytes were showed the highest motility via both RTCA and wound healing assay. Meanwhile, the mRNA and protein expression of RhoA, ROCK2 and vinculin were also significantly enhanced with the same concentration. CONCLUSIONS It can be concluded that the TDNs with the optimal concentration of 250 nmol L-1 could extremely promoted the chondrocytes locomotion through facilitating the expression of RhoA, ROCK2 and vinculin. These results seemed to reveal that this special three-dimensional DNA tetrahedral nanostructures may be applied to cartilage repair and treatment in the future.

Abstract
Inspired by biological systems, many biomimetic methods suggest fabrication of functional materials with unique physicochemical properties. Such methods frequently generate organic-inorganic composites that feature highly ordered hierarchical structures with intriguing properties, distinct from their individual components. A striking example is that of DNA-inorganic hybrid micro/nanostructures, fabricated by the rolling circle technique. Here, a novel concept for the encapsulation of bioactive proteins in DNA flowers (DNF) while maintaining the activity of protein payloads is reported. A wide range of proteins, including enzymes, can be simultaneously associated with the growing DNA strands and Mg2 PPi crystals during the rolling circle process, ultimately leading to the direct immobilization of proteins into DNF. The unique porous structure of this construct, along with the abundance of Mg ions and DNA molecules present, provides many interaction sites for proteins, enabling high loading efficiency and enhanced stability. Further, as a proof of concept, it is demonstrated that the DNF can deliver payloads of cytotoxic protein (i.e., RNase A) to the cells without a loss in its biological function and structural integrity, resulting in highly increased cell death compared to the free protein.

Abstract
Dendrimer-like DNA nanostructures have attractive properties such as mechanical stability, highly branched nanostructure, customized sizes, and biocompatibility. In this study, we construct programmable DNA dendrimeric nanoparticles as efficient vehicles to deliver immunostimulatory cytosine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) sequences for activation of the immune response. DNA dendrimers decorated with CpG-containing hairpin-loops triggered stronger immune response characterized by pro-inflammatory cytokines production, in contrast to DNA dendrimers loading linear CpG. After further modification with TAT peptide, a typical cell-penetrating peptide, on the surface of the nanocarriers, CpG loops-loaded DNA dendrimers showed the enhanced cell internalization and cytokines production. The TAT-DNA dendrimer-CpG loops constructs did not affect the viability of immune cells and no detectable cytotoxicity was observed. Our results demonstrate that the DNA dendrimers can serve as designable and safe vehicles for delivery of immune modulators and anticancer drugs.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures have attracted wide interest in biomedical applications, especially as nanocarriers for drug delivery. Therefore, it is important to ensure the structural integrity of DNA nanostructures under ambient temperature storage. In this study, we examined lyophilization-based preservation of DNA nanostructures by investigating the structural integrity of different DNA nanostructures reconstituted from lyophilization. We demonstrated that lyophilization under appropriate ionic strength is amenable to the storage of DNA nanostructures. Compared with that stored in liquid solution, DNA nanostructure carriers reconstituted from lyophilization showed significantly better structural integrity after an accelerated aging test equivalent to 100-day room-temperature storage.

Abstract
The combination of nanostructures with biomolecules leading to the generation of functional nanosystems holds great promise for biotechnological and biomedical applications. As a naturally occurring biomacromolecule, DNA exhibits excellent biocompatibility and programmability. Also, scalable synthesis can be readily realized through automated instruments. Such unique properties, together with Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions, make DNA a particularly promising candidate to be used as a building block material for a wide variety of nanostructures. In the past few decades, various DNA nanostructures have been developed, including one-, two- and three-dimensional nanomaterials. Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules selected by Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX), with specific recognition abilities to their targets. Therefore, integrating aptamers into DNA nanostructures results in powerful tools for biosensing and bioimaging applications. Furthermore, owing to their high loading capability, aptamer-modified DNA nanostructures have also been altered to play the role of drug nanocarriers for in vivo applications and targeted cancer therapy. In this review, we summarize recent progress in the design of aptamers and related DNA molecule-integrated DNA nanostructures as well as their applications in biosensing, bioimaging and cancer therapy. To begin with, we first introduce the SELEX technology. Subsequently, the methodologies for the preparation of aptamer-integrated DNA nanostructures are presented. Then, we highlight their applications in biosensing and bioimaging for various targets, as well as targeted cancer therapy applications. Finally, we discuss several challenges and further opportunities in this emerging field.

Abstract
Highly specific deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) base-pairing not only carries genetic information, but also provides the basis for self-assembly of novel nanostructures with programmable shapes and sizes. Unlike single-stranded and double-stranded DNA, DNA nanostructures exhibit good cellular permeability. They also have characteristics of uniform size, easy functionalization, precise addressability, excellent water solubility and high biocompatibility. Due to their unique properties, these tailored molecular devices are ideal nanoscale systems for targeting cells and triggering cellular responses. Recent progress in the field of DNA nanotechnology has demonstrated effectiveness and advantages of DNA nanostructures as smart and targeted drug delivery systems or imaging agents within living organisms. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in structure design, cargo loading and cellular delivery of DNA nanocarriers, and discuss their potential in therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Collections of DNA sequences can be rationally designed to self-assemble into predictable three-dimensional structures. The geometric and functional diversity of DNA nanostructures created to date has been enhanced by improvements in DNA synthesis and computational design. However, existing methods for structure characterization typically image the final product or laboriously determine the presence of individual, labelled strands using gel electrophoresis. Here we introduce a new method of structure characterization that uses barcode extension and next-generation DNA sequencing to quantitatively measure the incorporation of every strand into a DNA nanostructure. By quantifying the relative abundances of distinct DNA species in product and monomer bands, we can study the influence of geometry and sequence on assembly. We have tested our method using 2D and 3D DNA brick and DNA origami structures. Our method is general and should be extensible to a wide variety of DNA nanostructures. Techniques for structural characterization and quantification of DNA origami are still poorly developed, despite advances in other aspects of DNA nanotechnology. Here, the authors combine barcoding and next generation sequencing to simultaneously image and quantify self-assembled DNA nanostructures.

Engineering of a hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine nanovaccine as a next-generation immunotherapeutic strategy against nicotine addiction: A focus on hapten density. Biomaterials 2017; 123:107-117. [PMID: 28167389 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2017.01.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2016] [Revised: 01/26/2017] [Accepted: 01/27/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Although vaccination is a promising way to combat nicotine addiction, most traditional hapten-protein conjugate nicotine vaccines only show limited efficacy due to their poor recognition and uptake by immune cells. This study aimed to develop a hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine vaccine with improved efficacy. The focus was to study the impact of hapten density on the immunological efficacy of the proposed hybrid nanovaccine. It was shown that the nanovaccine nanoparticles were taken up by the dendritic cells more efficiently than the conjugate vaccine, regardless of the hapten density on the nanoparticles. At a similar hapten density, the nanovaccine induced a significantly stronger immune response against nicotine than the conjugate vaccine in mice. Moreover, the high- and medium-density nanovaccines resulted in significantly higher anti-nicotine antibody titers than their low-density counterpart. Specifically, the high-density nanovaccine exhibited better immunogenic efficacy, resulting in higher anti-nicotine antibody titers and lower anti-carrier protein antibody titers than the medium- and low-density versions. The high-density nanovaccine also had the best ability to retain nicotine in serum and to block nicotine from entering the brain. These results suggest that the hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine vaccine can elicit strong immunogenicity by modulating the hapten density, thereby providing a promising next-generation immunotherapeutic strategy against nicotine addiction.

Abstract
DNA is a fundamental component of living systems where it plays a crucial role at both functional and structural level. The programmable properties of DNA make it an interesting building block for the construction of nanostructures. However, molecular mechanisms for the arrangement of these well-defined DNA assemblies are not fully understood. In this paper, the intrinsic dynamics of a DNA octahedron has been investigated by using two types of Elastic Network Models (ENMs). The application of ENMs to DNA nanocages include the analysis of the intrinsic flexibilities of DNA double-helices and hinge sites through the calculation of the square fluctuations, as well as the intrinsic collective dynamics in terms of cross-collective map calculation coupled with global motions analysis. The dynamics profiles derived from ENMs have then been evaluated and compared with previous classical molecular dynamics simulation trajectories. The results presented here revealed that ENMs can provide useful insights into the intrinsic dynamics of large DNA nanocages and represent a useful tool in the field of structural DNA nanotechnology.

Abstract
Vaccines play an important role in preventing many life-threatening infectious diseases. To meet the demand of vaccination for treating a wide range of diseases, rational vaccine design has been recognized as a desirable and necessary strategy for development of safe and effective vaccines. DNA nanostructures are advantageous in the design and construction of synthetic vaccines, owing to their robust self-assembly, programmability, and precision control in complex organization, as well as their intrinsic adjuvant activity. Here, we describe a modular assembly of DNA scaffolded vaccine complex, composing of a model antigen, streptavidin, and adjuvant, CpG oligonucleotide. The DNA-assembled vaccines were found to elicit strong antigen-specific antibody responses, but causing little or no adverse reactions. Conceivably, this vaccine platform can be further optimized for improved immunogenicity and extended to the construction of various subunit vaccines.
