Abstract
DNAzyme-based fluorescent probes for imaging metal ions in living cells have received much attention recently. However, employing in situ metal ions imaging within subcellular organelles, such as nucleus, remains a significant challenge. We developed a three-stranded DNAzyme probe (TSDP) that contained a 20-base-pair (20-bp) recognition site of a CRISPR/Cas9, which blocks the DNAzyme activity. When Cas9, with its specialized nuclear localization function, forms an active complex with sgRNA within the cell nucleus, it cleaves the TSDP at the recognition site, resulting in the in situ formation of catalytic DNAzyme structure. With this design, the CRISPR/Cas9-inducible imaging of nuclear Zn2+ is demonstrated in living cells. Moreover, the superiority of CRISPR-DNAzyme for spatiotemporal control imaging was demonstrated by integrating it with photoactivation strategy and Boolean logic gate for dynamic monitoring nuclear Zn2+ in both HeLa cells and mice. Collectively, this conceptual design expands the DNAzyme toolbox for visualizing nuclear metal ions and thus provides new analytical methods for nuclear metal-associated biology.

Abstract
Current action mechanisms for aptamer-based therapeutics depend on occupancy-driven pharmacology to mediate protein functions. We report a new mechanism where aptamers leverage cellular proteasomal degradation system to degrade proteins for cancer treatment. A DNA aptamer (hereinafter referred to as c-Met-Ap) binds to the extracellular domain of mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met) and selectively induces c-Met phosphorylation at Y1003 and Y1349. The phosphorylation of Y1003 recruits E3 ubiquitin ligase casitas B-lineage lymphoma, causing c-Met ubiquitination and degradation in the proteasome. Furthermore, c-Met-Ap can induce a decrease in the heterodimeric partner proteins of c-Met and the downstream effector proteins in the c-Met signal axis, effectively inhibiting tumor growth in A549 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. Our study uncovers a novel, actionable mechanism for aptamer therapeutics and opens a new avenue for developing highly efficient anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The cell membrane serves as a barrier and gatekeeper to regulate the cellular transportation of substances and information. It plays a significant role in protecting the cell from the extracellular environment, maintaining intracellular homeostasis, and regulating cellular function and behaviors. The capability to engineer the cell membrane with functional modules that enable dynamic monitoring and manipulating the cell-surface microenvironment would be critical for studying molecular mechanisms underlying various biological processes. To meet this goal, DNA, with intrinsic advantages of high versatility, programmability, and biocompatibility, has gained intense attention as a molecular tool for cell-surface engineering. The past three decades have witnessed the rapid advances of diverse nucleic acid materials, including functional nucleic acids (FNAs), dynamic DNA circuits, and exquisite DNA nanostructures. In this mini review, we have summarized the recent progress of DNA technology for cell membrane engineering, particularly focused on their applications for molecular sensing and imaging, precise cell identification, receptor activity regulation, and artificial membrane structures. Furthermore, we discussed the challenge and outlook on using nucleic acid materials in this specific research area.

Abstract
At the cellular level, numerous nanocues guide the cells to adhere, interact, proliferate, differentiate, etc. Understanding and manipulating the cellular functions in vitro, necessitates the elucidation of these nanocues provided to the cells by the extracellular matrix (ECM), neighbouring cells or in the form of ligands. DNA nanotechnology is a biocompatible, flexible and a promising molecular level toolkit for mimicking cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In this review, we summarize various advances in cell-matrix, cell-cell and cell receptor-ligand interactions using DNA nanotechnology as a tool. We also provide a brief outlook on the current challenges and the future potentials of these DNA-based nanostructures so as to inspire novel innovations in the field.

Abstract
Engineering of the cell plasma membrane using functional DNA is important for studying and controlling cellular behaviors. However, most efforts to apply artificial DNA interactions on cells are limited to external membrane surface due to the lack of suitable synthetic tools to engineer the intracellular side, which impedes many applications in cell biology. Inspired by the natural extracellular vesicle-cell fusion process, we have developed a fusogenic spherical nucleic acid construct to realize robust DNA functionalization on both external and internal cell surfaces via liposome fusion-based transport (LiFT) strategy, which enables applications including the construction of heterotypic cell assembly for programmed signaling pathway and detection of intracellular metabolites. This approach can engineer cell membranes in a highly efficient and spatially controlled manner, allowing one to build anisotropic membrane structures with two orthogonal DNA functionalities.

Abstract
Synthetic molecular robots can execute sophisticated molecular tasks at nanometer resolution. However, a molecular robot capable of controlling cellular behavior remains unexplored. Herein, we report a self-propelled DNA robot operating on the cell membrane to control the migration of a cell. Driven by DNAzyme catalytic activity, the DNA robot could autonomously and stepwise move on the membrane-floating cell-surface receptors in a stochastic manner and simultaneously trigger the receptor-dimerization to activate downstream signaling for cell motility. The cell membrane-associated continuous motion and operation of a DNA robot allowed for the ultrasensitive regulation of MET/AKT signaling and cytoskeleton remodeling to enhance cell migration. Finally, we designed distinct conditional DNA robots to orthogonally manipulate the cell migration in a coculture of mixed cell populations. We have developed a novel strategy to engineer a cell-driving molecular robot, representing a promising avenue for precise cell manipulation with nanoscale resolution.

Abstract
Since 1994, deoxyribozymes or DNAzymes have been in vitro selected to catalyze various types of reactions. Metal ions play a critical role in DNAzyme catalysis, and Zn2+ is a very important one among them. Zn2+ has good biocompatibility and can be used for intracellular applications. Chemically, Zn2+ is a Lewis acid and it can bind to both the phosphate backbone and the nucleobases of DNA. Zn2+ undergoes hydrolysis even at neutral pH, and the partially hydrolyzed polynuclear complexes can affect the interactions with DNA. These features have made Zn2+ a unique cofactor for DNAzyme reactions. This review summarizes Zn2+ -dependent DNAzymes with an emphasis on RNA-/DNA-cleaving reactions. A key feature is the sharp Zn2+ concentration and pH-dependent activity for many of the DNAzymes. The applications of these DNAzymes as biosensors for Zn2+ , as therapeutic agents to cleave intracellular RNA, and as chemical biology tools to manipulate DNA are discussed. Future studies can focus on the selection of new DNAzymes with improved performance and detailed biochemical characterizations to understand the role of Zn2+ , which can facilitate practical applications of Zn2+ -dependent DNAzymes.

Abstract
Protein-dominant cellular processes cannot be fully decoded without precise manipulation of their activity and localization in living cells. Advances in optogenetics have allowed spatiotemporal control over cellular proteins with molecular specificity; however, these methods require recombinant expression of fusion proteins, possibly leading to conflicting results. Instead of modifying proteins of interest, in this work, we focus on design of a tunable recognition unit and develop an aptamer-based near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive nanoplatform for manipulating the subcellular localization of specific proteins in their native states. Our results demonstrate that this nanoplatform allows photocontrol over the cytoplasmic-nuclear shuttling behavior of the target RelA protein (a member of the NF-κβ family), enabling regulation of RelA-related signaling pathways. With a modular design, this aptamer-based nanoplatform can be readily extended for the manipulation of different proteins (e.g., lysozyme and p53), holding great potential to develop a variety of label-free protein photoregulation strategies for studying complex biological events. Optogenetic manipulation of protein localisation in cells involves the creation of fusions that can influence activity. Here the authors develop a near-infrared light-responsive aptamer-based system to regulate the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of NF-κB subunit RelA.

Abstract
Rapid and efficient detection of tumor cells is one of the central challenges for modern analytical technology. In this paper, we report a polyadenine (poly(A)) tail-based strategy for ultrasensitive detection of tumor cells in aqueous solution with an electrochemical technique. Specifically, tumor cell-specific EpCAM aptamers without any modification can tightly bind on cell membranes and facilitate the subsequent introduction of multiple poly(A) tails via programmable terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated elongation. Meanwhile, since tumor cells bearing poly(A) tails can be easily adsorbed onto the surface of gold electrodes through a strong interaction between adenosines and gold, a highly amplified electrochemical signal can be obtained. Thus, by virtue of poly(A) tails, the proposed method allows the detection of as low as 3 cells mL-1. Compared with the previously reported methods for tumor cells detection, this poly(A)-based homogeneous electrochemical method needs just one enzyme and one aptamer without any modification and avoids the complex and time-consuming modification process of the working electrode, which holds great potential application in the future.

Abstract
Programming cells to sense multiple inputs and activate cellular signal transduction cascades is of great interest. Although this goal has been achieved through the engineering of genetic circuits using synthetic biology tools, a nongenetic and generic approach remains highly demanded. Herein, we present an aptamer-controlled logic receptor assembly for modulating cellular signal transduction. Aptamers were engineered as "robotic arms" to capture target receptors (c-Met and CD71) and a DNA logic assembly functioned as a computer processor to handle multiple inputs. As a result, the DNA assembly brings c-Met and CD71 into close proximity, thus interfering with the ligand-receptor interactions of c-Met and inhibiting its functions. Using this principle, a set of logic gates was created that respond to DNA strands or light irradiation, modulating the c-Met/HGF signal pathways. This simple modular design provides a robust chemical tool for modulating cellular signal transduction.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology engineered at the solid-liquid interface has advanced our fundamental understanding of DNA hybridization kinetics and facilitated the design of improved biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutic platforms. Three research branches of DNA nanotechnology exist: (i) structural DNA nanotechnology for the construction of various nanoscale patterns; (ii) dynamic DNA nanotechnology for the operation of nanodevices; and (iii) functional DNA nanotechnology for the exploration of new DNA functions. Although the initial stages of DNA nanotechnology research began in aqueous solution, current research efforts have shifted to solid-liquid interfaces. Based on shape and component features, these interfaces can be classified as flat interfaces, nanoparticle interfaces, and soft interfaces of DNA origami and cell membranes. This review briefly discusses the development of DNA nanotechnology. We then highlight the important roles of structural DNA nanotechnology in tailoring the properties of flat interfaces and modifications of nanoparticle interfaces, and extensively review their successful bioapplications. In addition, engineering advances in DNA nanodevices at interfaces for improved biosensing both in vitro and in vivo are presented. The use of DNA nanotechnology as a tool to engineer cell membranes to reveal protein levels and cell behavior is also discussed. Finally, we present challenges and an outlook for this emerging field.

Abstract
Cell-surface receptors play pivotal roles in the regulation of cell fate. Molecular engineering of cell-surface receptors enables control of cell signaling and manipulation of cell behavior in a user-defined way. Currently, the development of chemical-biological approaches for non-genetic engineering and regulation of membrane receptors is attracting significant interest. Recent research advances in functional nucleic acids and DNA nanotechnology have made it possible to use DNA as a new and promising molecular toolkit for controlling receptor-mediated signaling and cell fates. In this minireview we summarize the advances in the use of DNA nanotechnology for the spatiotemporal regulation of cell receptors and highlight practical applications in manipulating cell functions including cell adhesion, cell-cell contact, cell migration, and cellular immunity. We also provide a perspective on the potential of and challenges facing DNA-based receptor engineering in future applications of cell manipulation and cell-based therapy.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive DNA self-assembly shares the advantages of both designed stimuli-responsiveness and the molecular programmability of DNA structures, offering great opportunities for basic and applied research in dynamic DNA nanotechnology. In this minireview, we summarize the most recent progress in this rapidly developing field. The trigger mechanisms of the responsive DNA systems are first divided into six categories, which are then explained with illustrative examples following this classification. Subsequently, proof-of-concept applications in terms of biosensing, in vivo pH-mapping, drug delivery, and therapy are discussed. Finally, we provide some remarks on the challenges and opportunities of this highly promising research direction in DNA nanotechnology.

Abstract
Multifunctional DNA nanodevices perform ever more tasks with applications ranging from in vitro biomarker detection to in situ cell imaging. However, most developed ones consist of a series of split building blocks, which suffer from asynchronous behaviors in complicated cellular microenvironments (endocytosis pathway, diffusion-limited cytoplasm, etc.), causing the loss of stoichiometric information and additional postassembly processes. Herein, we constructed all-in-one DNA nanodevices to achieve synchronous multiplexed imaging. All DNA components, including two sets of probe modules (each containing target-specific walkers, i.e., hairpin tracks with chemically damaged bases), are modified on individual gold nanoparticles. This design not only enables their integrated internalization into cells, circumventing inhomogeneous distribution of different building blocks and increasing the local concentrations of the interacting modules, but also avoids the impact of stochastic diffusion in viscous cytoplasm. A couple of intracellular enzymes in situ actuate the synchronized motion of the modules, all on-particle, after specific recognition of intracellular targets (such as RNAs and proteins), thus facilitating synchronized, multiplexed cell imaging. Finally, the proposed all-in-one nanodevices were successfully applied to monitor intracellular microRNA-21 and telomerase expression levels. The flexible design can be extended to detect other cytoplasmic molecules and monitor related pathways by simply changing the sequences.

Abstract
Optical manipulation appears to be a powerful tool for spatiotemporally controlling a variety of cellular functions. Herein, a photocontrolled DNA assembly approach is described which enables light-induced activation of cellular signal transduction by triggering protein dimerization (c-Met signalling in this case). Three kinds of DNA probes are designed, including a pair of receptor recognition probes with adaptors and a blocker probe with a photocleavable linker (PC-linker). By implementing PC-linkers in blocker probes, the designed DNA probes response to light irradiation, which then induces the assembly of receptor recognition probes through adaptor complementing. Consequently, light-mediated DNA assembly promotes the dimerization of c-Met receptors, resulting in activation of c-Met signalling. It is demonstrated that the proposed photocontrolled DNA assembly approach is effective for regulating c-Met signalling and modulating cellular behaviours, such as cell proliferation and migration. Therefore, this simple approach may offer a promising strategy to manipulate cell signalling pathways precisely in living cells.
