Abstract
In recent years, the CRISPR/Cas12a-based sensing strategy has shown significant potential for specific target detection due to its rapid and sensitive characteristics. However, the "always active" biosensors are often insufficient to manipulate nucleic acid sensing with high spatiotemporal control. It remains crucial to develop nucleic acid sensing devices that can be activated at the desired time and space by a remotely applied stimulus. Here, we integrated photoactivation with the CRISPR/Cas12a system for DNA and RNA detection, aiming to provide high spatiotemporal control for nucleic acid sensing. By rationally designing the target recognition sequence, this photoactivation CRISPR/Cas12a system could recognize HPV16 and survivin, respectively. We combined the lateral flow assay strip test with the CRISPR/Cas12a system to realize the visualization of nucleic acid cleavage signals, displaying potential instant test application capabilities. Additionally, we also successfully realized the temporary control of its fluorescent sensing activity for survivin by photoactivation in vivo, allowing rapid detection of target nucleic acids and avoiding the risk of contamination from premature leaks during storage. Our strategy suggests that the CRISPR/Cas12a platform can be triggered by photoactivation to sense various targets, expanding the technical toolbox for precise biological and medical analysis. This study represents a significant advancement in nucleic acid sensing and has potential applications in disease diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
As a burgeoning non-invasive indicator for reproducible cancer diagnosis, tumor-related biomarkers have a wide range of applications in early cancer screening, efficacy monitoring, and prognosis predicting. Accurate and efficient biomarker determination, therefore, is of great importance to prevent cancer progression at an early stage, thus reducing the disease burden on the entire population, and facilitating advanced therapies for cancer. During the last few years, various DNA structure-based fluorescent probes have established a versatile platform for biological measurements, due to their inherent biocompatibility, excellent capacity to recognize nucleic and non-nucleic acid targets, obvious accessibility to synthesis as well as chemical modification, and the ease of interfacing with signal amplification protocols. After decades of research, DNA fluorescent probe technology for detecting tumor-related mRNAs has gradually grown to maturity, especially the advent of fluorescent nanoprobes has taken the process to a new level. Here, a systematic introduction to recent trends and advances focusing on various nanomaterials-related DNA fluorescent probes and the physicochemical properties of various involved nanomaterials (such as AuNP, GO, MnO2, SiO2, AuNR, etc.) are also presented in detail. Further, the strengths and weaknesses of existing probes were described and their progress in the detection of tumor-related mRNAs was illustrated. Also, the salient challenges were discussed later, with a few potential solutions.

Abstract
Stimulus-responsive materials are ideal carriers for precisely controlled drug delivery due to their high selectivity. However, the complex physiological environment hinders its development in clinical medicine. Here, we aim to design a self-assembled three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanostructure drug delivery system with adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP)-triggered drug release for tumor fluorescence imaging analysis and targeted drug delivery. Dox@3D DNA nanostructures are self-assembled by a simple one-pot annealing reaction and embedded with drugs, which are structurally stable but can be induced using high concentrations of ATP in tumor cells to cleave and release drugs rapidly, facilitating the rapid accumulation of drugs in tumors and exerting therapeutic effects, thus effectively avoiding damage to normal tissues. This work demonstrates that 3D DNA nanostructures can be used as efficient drug nanocarriers with promising applications in tumor therapy.

Abstract
Monitoring the expression level of the intracellular tumor suppressor gene p21 mRNA is essential to reveal the progress and prognosis of a tumor. Methods widely reported for the detection of p21 mRNA are the real-time polymerase chain reaction and Northern blot. However, these methods only detect mRNA in vitro and cannot realize the in situ monitoring of the p21 mRNA expression level in living cells. Additionally, the sensor for the real-time tracking and monitoring of the p21 mRNA location without the help of a transfection reagent in living cells is still limited. Herein, a novel sticky-flare was constructed for the dynamic monitoring of the temporal and spatial variations of p21 mRNA in living cells. The nanoprobe consists of AuNP, a recognition sequence modified with Cy5, and a thiol-modified DNA sequence. The thiol oligonucleotide strand could act partially complementary to the Cy5-modified oligonucleotide strand to form a double-stranded DNA linked to AuNP, resulting in the fluorescence quenching of Cy5 due to the energy transfer from Cy5 to the gold sphere. In the presence of p21 mRNA, the Cy5-modified recognition nucleic acid specifically bound to p21 mRNA to form a more stable double chain and escaped from the gold sphere, leading to the recovery of red fluorescence. Our method is better than other methods in its ability to quantify the spatial distribution and expression level of p21 mRNA in living cells and discriminate various tumor cell lines with different p21 mRNA expression levels by the naked eye. Particularly, the sticky-flare probe used in this assay could allow the visual evaluation of the tumor treatment effect and the determination of the tumor progression stage by enabling monitoring of the relative expression level of p21 mRNA in tumor cells after cisplatin treatment. The method reported here is accurate, reliable and needs no auxiliary tools (transfection reagent), and thereby provides a promising route for the prognostic evaluation and drug development of cancer treatment in the future.

Abstract
Monitoring gene delivery has significant benefits in gene therapy. Herein, we report a nanoquencher system by doping a FRET pair during nucleic acid-assisted cell penetrating poly(disulfide) (CPD) formation. Our results show that this strategy not only produces an efficient gene delivery polymer with minimal endolysosomal trapping, but also enables monitoring the release of the gene from the vehicle in live cells. This study further expanded the application of CPDs as promising tools in gene delivery.

Abstract
Precise detection of cancer-related mRNAs can significantly benefit the early diagnosis and potential therapy of cancers. Herein, we report organic dark quencher-encapsulated surface-cross-linked micelles (qSCMs) as a new sort of nanoquencher for construction of potential multiple-color fluorescence imaging nanosensors. Such nanoquenchers featured simple preparation (one-pot), broad-spectrum quenching (450-800 nm), high quenching efficiency (>94%), good stability, negligible cargo leakage, facile covalent surface modification, and finally excellent modularity. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a mRNA-detecting qSCM nanosensor was generated, capable of simultaneous live-cell imaging of endogenous actin mRNA (a house-keeping gene) and cancer-related survivin mRNA. This nanosensor was found to be GSH- and DNase I-resistant, and with actin mRNA as an intrinsic reference, it was used to image the precise survivin mRNA expression across different mammalian cells through convenient normalization of the signal readouts. Moreover, the nanosensor was further used to quantitatively image the downregulation of endogenous survivin mRNA in HeLa cells upon treatment of YM155 (an imidazolium bioactive compound known to suppresses endogenous survivin mRNA expression). These results clearly demonstrated the promising application of these qSCMs as new nanoquenchers in potential multicolor imaging of various endogenous biomarkers.

Abstract
Colloidal inorganic nanostructures (metal, carbon, and silica) have been widely used as "nanoquenchers" for construction of nanosensors; however, inherent drawbacks such as insufficient fluorescence quenching efficiency, false positive signals, and uncertain long-term cytotoxicity have limited their further utility. Herein, by taking advantages of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) in terms of high loading capacity, facile surface modification chemistry, and good biocompatibility, we report a broad-spectrum (400-750 nm) polymeric fluorescence-quenching platform for sensor fabrication. Our newly developed polymeric nanoquenchers (qPNPs) were constructed by concurrently encapsulating various alkylated black-hole quenchers into nanoparticles made of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) and were found to have an excellent fluorescence quenching effect (>400-fold) on common fluorophores (FAM, TMR, and Cy5) together with high stability under physiological conditions. As a proof of concept, the feasibility of these qPNPs for fluorescence sensing was validated by successful construction of two nanosensors (FAMDEVD@qPNP and Cy5SurC@qPNP), which could be used as promising nanosensors for live-cell imaging of the apoptosis-related protease caspase-3 and cancer-related survivin mRNA, respectively. As expected, in the FAM channel, the FAMDEVD@qPNP showed fast and selective fluorescence responses toward caspase-3 in buffers and could be used to image the activation of drug-induced endogenous caspase-3. In the Cy5 channel, the Cy5SurC@qPNP could be used to distinguish normal cells (MCF10A) from cancer cells (HeLa) by quantitatively detecting the endogenous survivin mRNA level. It could be further used to monitor changes in the endogenous survivin mRNA expression levels in drug-treated HeLa cells. Altogether, by virtue of their high quencher loading and broad-spectrum quenching efficiency and good signal-to-background ratio, these qPNPs might be particularly attractive alternatives to other conventional nanoquenchers for the construction of more complex biosensors in the future.

Abstract
Given the breadth of currently arising opportunities and concerns associated with nanoparticles for biomedical imaging, various types of nanoparticles have been widely exploited, especially for cellular/subcellular level probing. However, most currently reported nanoparticles either have inefficient delivery into cells or lack specificity for intracellular destinations. The absence of well-defined nanoplatforms remains a critical challenge hindering practical nano-based bio-imaging. Herein, the authors elaborate on a tailorable membrane-penetrating nanoplatform as a carrier with encapsulated actives and decorated surfaces to tackle the above-mentioned issues. The tunable contents in such a versatile nanoplatform offer huge flexibility to reach the expected properties and functions. Aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) is applied to achieve sought-after photophysical properties, specific targeting moieties are installed to give high affinity towards different desired organelles, and critical grafting of cell-penetrating cyclic disulfides (CPCDs) to promote cellular uptake efficiency without sacrificing the specificity. Hereafter, to validate its practicability, the tailored nano products are successfully applied to track the dynamic correlation between mitochondria and lysosomes during autophagy. The authors believe that the strategy and described materials can facilitate the development of functional nanomaterials for various life science applications.

Abstract
This Perspective focuses on thiol-mediated uptake, that is, the entry of substrates into cells enabled by oligochalcogenides or mimics, often disulfides, and inhibited by thiol-reactive agents. A short chronology from the initial observations in 1990 until today is followed by a summary of cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) and cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs) as privileged scaffolds in thiol-mediated uptake and inhibitors of thiol-mediated uptake as potential antivirals. In the spirit of a Perspective, the main part brings together topics that possibly could help to explain how thiol-mediated uptake really works. Extreme sulfur chemistry mostly related to COCs and their mimics, cyclic disulfides, thiosulfinates/-onates, diselenolanes, benzopolysulfanes, but also arsenics and Michael acceptors, is viewed in the context of acidity, ring tension, exchange cascades, adaptive networks, exchange affinity columns, molecular walkers, ring-opening polymerizations, and templated polymerizations. Micellar pores (or lipid ion channels) are considered, from cell-penetrating peptides and natural antibiotics to voltage sensors, and a concise gallery of membrane proteins, as possible targets of thiol-mediated uptake, is provided, including CLIC1, a thiol-reactive chloride channel; TMEM16F, a Ca-activated scramblase; EGFR, the epithelial growth factor receptor; and protein-disulfide isomerase, known from HIV entry or the transferrin receptor, a top hit in proteomics and recently identified in the cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2.

J Control Release 2021; 336:296-309. [PMID: 34174352 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2021.06.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The rapid development of gene therapy and genome editing techniques brings up an urgent need to develop safe and efficient nanoplatforms for nucleic acids and CRISPR genome editors. Herein we report a stimulus-responsive silica nanoparticle (SNP) capable of encapsulating biomacromolecules in their active forms with a high loading content and loading efficiency as well as a well-controlled nanoparticle size (~50 nm). A disulfide crosslinker was integrated into the silica network, endowing SNP with glutathione (GSH)-responsive cargo release capability when internalized by target cells. An imidazole-containing component was incorporated into the SNP to enhance the endosomal escape capability. The SNP can deliver various cargos, including nucleic acids (e.g., DNA and mRNA) and CRISPR genome editors (e.g., Cas9/sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP), and RNP with donor DNA) with excellent efficiency and biocompatibility. The SNP surface can be PEGylated and functionalized with different targeting ligands. In vivo studies showed that subretinally injected SNP conjugated with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and intravenously injected SNP conjugated with GalNAc can effectively deliver mRNA and RNP to murine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and liver cells, respectively, leading to efficient genome editing. Overall, the SNP is a promising nanoplatform for various applications including gene therapy and genome editing.

Abstract
In response to specific stimuli, dynamic covalent materials enable the generation of new structures by reversibly forming/breaking chemical bonds, thus showing great potential for application in controlled drug release. However, using dynamic covalent chemistry to program drug-delivery kinetics remains challenging. Herein, an in situ polymerization-generated DNA-scaffolded disulfide redox network (DdiSRN) is reported in which nucleic acids are used as a scaffold for dynamic disulfide bonds. The constructed DdiSRN allows selective release of loading cargos inside cancer cells in response to redox stimuli. Moreover, the density of disulfide bonds in network can be tuned by precise control over their position and number on DNA scaffolds. As a result, drug-delivery kinetics can be programmed with a half-life, t1/2 , decreasing from 8.3 to 4.4 h, thus facilitating keeping an adequate drug concentration within the therapeutic window. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirm that co-delivery of DOX and siRNA in combination with fast drug release inside cells using this DdiSRN enhances the therapeutic effect on multidrug-resistant cancer. This nontrivial therapeutic platform enabling kinetic control provides a good paradigm for precision cancer medicine.

Abstract
Survivin is widely expressed in tumor tissue, in which the in situ ratiometric fluorescence imaging of intracellular survivin mRNA can provide accurate information for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, as well as the screening of antitumor drugs. However, the development of a nanoprobe that can be used simultaneously in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors and the screening of antitumor drugs remains a challenge. In an effort to address these requirements, a multifunctional biomass nanoprobe was developed for the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors as well as cancer cell identification and antitumor drug screening based on the ratiometric fluorescence imaging of intracellular survivin mRNA. This nanoprobe was assembled from near-infrared (NIR) biomass quantum dots (BQDs), single-stranded DNA and NIR dye (dylight680) labeled single-stranded DNA. The BQDs contain a large number of chlorophyll molecules, meaning that they can produce a large amount of singlet oxygen under NIR light irradiation, thus realizing the PDT of a tumor. However, the specific binding of the nanoprobe to intracellular survivin mRNA causes the release of dylight680 and reduces the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency between the BQDs and dylight680 in the probe, thereby achieving the ratiometric fluorescence imaging of survivin mRNA. Therefore, the prepared nanoprobe can not only be used in the diagnosis of cancers, but also in the targeted PDT of tumors.

Abstract
Detection of endogenous tumor-related RNA is vital for cancer diagnostics. Despite advancements made, live-cell RNA detection still faces numerous problems, such as low signal output and cell-to-cell variations arising from differences in probe uptake. To address these issues, we designed a versatile and highly sensitive mRNA/miRNA nanosensor featuring, for the first time, signal amplification and in-built signal normalization. Using dye-loaded mesoporous silica nanoquenchers (qMSNs) capped with target-corresponding antisense oligos (ASOs), direct fluorescence "Turn-ON" with signal amplification was achieved upon target binding. By readily varying the capping ASOs as well as cargo dyes, a suite of RNA nanosensors for multiplex target detection could be easily prepared. Further modification of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA-responsive molecular beacons (MBs) onto our nanosensor enabled dual detection of target RNA and GAPDH mRNA, allowing for target signal normalization using GAPDH as a reference. We demonstrated that this newly developed nanosensor could successfully differentiate between noncancer and cancer cells, as well as accurately monitor the relative expression levels of multiple tumor-related RNAs simultaneously in different cancer cell lines, with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity, functioning as a noninvasive "qPCR mimic" imaging tool in live cells.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells. They are vital organelles that maintain cellular function and metabolism. Dysfunction of mitochondria results in various diseases with a great diversity of clinical appearances. In the past, strategies have been developed for fabricating subcellular-targeting drug-delivery nanocarriers, enabling cellular internalization and subsequent organelle localization. Of late, innovative strategies have emerged for the smart design of multifunctional nanocarriers. Hierarchical targeting enables nanocarriers to evade and overcome various barriers encountered upon in vivo administration to reach the organelle with good bioavailability. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers allow controlled release of therapeutics to occur at the desired target site. Synergistic therapy can be achieved using a combination of approaches such as chemotherapy, gene and phototherapy. In this Review, we survey the field for recent developments and strategies used in the smart design of nanocarriers for mitochondria-targeted therapeutics. Existing challenges and unexplored therapeutic opportunities are also highlighted and discussed to inspire the next generation of mitochondrial-targeting nanotherapeutics.

Abstract
Introduction The main pathological mechanism of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is intimal hyperplasia, which is mainly caused by proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Our previous study found that honokiol (HNK), a small-molecule polyphenol, can inhibit neointimal hyperplasia after balloon injury, but its specific mechanism is still unclear. Moreover, poor water solubility as well as low bioavailability of honokiol has limited its practical use. Methods We used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) as a standard substance to encapsulate HNK and then assemble into honokiol-mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and we investigated the effect of these nanoparticles on the process of restenosis after common carotid artery injury in rats. Results We report a promising delivery system that loads HNK into MSNPs and finally assembles it into a nanocomposite particle. These HNK-MSNPs not merely inhibited proliferation and migration of VSMCs by reducing phosphorylation of Smad3, but also showed a higher suppression of intimal thickening than the free-honokiol-treated group in a rat model of balloon injury. Conclusion To sum up, this drug delivery system supplies a potent nano-platform for improving the biological effects of HNK and provides a promising strategy for preventing vascular restenosis.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a kind of promising material for analytical and biomedical purposes. However, simultaneous cancer diagnosis and therapy with COFs remain a challenge. We report here a COF-based theranostic nanoplatform by integrating a dye-labeled oligonucleotide onto porphyrin-based COF nanoparticles for highly efficient cancer diagnosis and therapy. The fluorescence of the dye was effectively quenched by the COF through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In the presence of biomarker survivin mRNA, more stable duplexes were formed and separated from the COF NPs, enabling the recovery of the fluorescence signal and selective cancer imaging. Under NIR laser irradiation, COF NPs generated abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cancer cell apoptosis owing to their crystalline reticular structure. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that the nanoplatform has a high specificity and inhibition effect toward cancer cells and solid tumors. Interestingly, prognostic evaluation was also realized with COF-survivin. This work will offer new insights into COF-based probes and inspire the development of more versatile tools for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Efficient delivery of hydrophilic drugs, nucleic acids, proteins, and any combination thereof is essential for various biomedical applications. Herein, we report a straightforward, yet versatile approach to efficiently encapsulate and deliver various hydrophilic payloads using a pH-responsive silica-metal-organic framework hybrid nanoparticle (SMOF NP) consisting of both silica and zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF). This unique SMOF NP offers a high loading content and efficiency, excellent stability, and robust intracellular delivery of a variety of payloads, including hydrophilic small molecule drugs (e.g., doxorubicin hydrochloride), nucleic acids (e.g., DNA and mRNA), and genome-editing machineries (e.g., Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP), and RNP together with donor DNA (e.g., RNP + ssODN)). The superior drug delivery/gene transfection/genome-editing efficiencies of the SMOF NP are attributed to its pH-controlled release and endosomal escape capabilities due to the proton sponge effect enabled by the imidazole moieties in the SMOF NPs. Moreover, the surface of the SMOF NP can be easily customized (e.g., PEGylation and ligand conjugation) via various functional groups incorporated into the silica component. RNP-loaded SMOF NPs induced efficient genome editing in vivo in murine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tissue via subretinal injection, providing a highly promising nanoplatform for the delivery of a wide range of hydrophilic payloads.

Abstract
In situ amplification methods, such as hybridization chain reaction, are valuable tools for mapping the spatial distribution and subcellular location of target analytes. However, the live-cell applications of these methods are still limited due to challenges in the probe delivery, degradation, and cytotoxicity. Herein, we report a novel genetically encoded in situ amplification method to noninvasively image the subcellular location of RNA targets in living cells. In our system, a fluorogenic RNA reporter, Broccoli, was split into two nonfluorescent fragments and conjugated to the end of two RNA hairpin strands. The binding of one target RNA can then trigger a cascaded hybridization between these hairpin pairs and thus activate multiple Broccoli fluorescence signals. We have shown that such an in situ amplified strategy can be used for the sensitive detection and location imaging of various RNA targets in living bacterial and mammalian cells. This new design principle provides an effective and versatile platform for tracking various intracellular analytes.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key organelles in mammalian cells whose dysfunction is linked to various diseases. Drugs targeting mitochondrial proteins provide a highly promising strategy for potential therapeutics. Methods for the delivery of small-molecule drugs to the mitochondria are available, but these are not suitable for macromolecules, such as proteins. Herein, we report the delivery of native proteins and antibodies to the mitochondria using biodegradable silica nanoparticles (BS-NPs). The modification of the nanoparticle surface with triphenylphosphonium (TPP) and cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPD) facilitated their rapid intracellular uptake with minimal endolysosomal trapping, providing sufficient time for effective mitochondrial localization followed by glutathione-triggered biodegradation and of native, functional proteins into the mitochondria.

Abstract
The development of efficient gene delivery vectors has faced two major challenges, namely endo- and lysosomal escape and intracellular release. To address these problems, we developed an oligonucleotide (ON)-template-assisted polymerization approach to create ON nanospheres as gene vectors. Guanidinium-containing disulfide monomers were organized on the ON templates to increase their effective local concentrations. Consequently, ring-opening disulfide-exchange polymerization between monomers was accelerated, further facilitating the self-assembly of ON nanospheres. The size of these nanospheres was controlled by varying the length of the ON templates. Importantly, the nanospheres can be directly delivered into the cytosol through an endocytosis-independent pathway, which is followed by intracellular depolymerization in the reductive cytosolic environment to release the packaged ONs, resulting in efficient gene silencing. The ON nanospheres thus hold great promise as candidates for gene therapy.

Abstract
To achieve an excellent delivery effect of drug, stimuli-responsive nano "gate" with physical blockage units is usually constructed on the surface of the mesoporous silica nanocarriers (MSNs). In nature, the aquaporins in cell membrane can control the transport of water molecules by regulating the channel wettability, which is resulted from the conformational change of amino acids in the channel. Inspired by this phonomenon, herein a new concept of free-blockage controlled release system is proposed, which is achieved by controlling the wettability of the internal surface of nanopores on MSNs. Such a new system is different from the physical-blockage controlled release system, which bypasses the use of nano "gate" and overcomes the limitations of traditional physical blockage system. Moreover, further studies have shown that the system can selectively release the entrapped doxorubicin in human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells triggered by intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) but not in normalhuman umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) containing ROS with low levels. The wettability-determined free-blockage controlled release system is simple and effective, and it can also be triggered by intracellular biological stimuli, which provides a new approach for the future practical application of drug delivery and cancer therapy.
