ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2401617. [PMID: 38713753 PMCID: PMC11234471 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202401617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
DNA nanostructures exhibit versatile geometries and possess sophisticated capabilities not found in other nanomaterials. They serve as customizable nanoplatforms for orchestrating the spatial arrangement of molecular components, such as biomolecules, antibodies, or synthetic nanomaterials. This is achieved by incorporating oligonucleotides into the design of the nanostructure. In the realm of drug delivery to cancer cells, there is a growing interest in active targeting assays to enhance efficacy and selectivity. The active targeting approach involves a "key-lock" mechanism where the carrier, through its ligand, recognizes specific receptors on tumor cells, facilitating the release of drugs. Various DNA nanostructures, including DNA origami, Tetrahedral, nanoflower, cruciform, nanostar, nanocentipede, and nanococklebur, can traverse the lipid layer of the cell membrane, allowing cargo delivery to the nucleus. Aptamers, easily formed in vitro, are recognized for their targeted delivery capabilities due to their high selectivity for specific targets and low immunogenicity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the formation and modification of aptamer-modified DNA nanostructures within drug delivery systems.

Abstract
DNA origami is a cutting-edge nanotechnology approach that creates precise and detailed 2D and 3D nanostructures. The crucial feature of DNA origami is how it is created, which enables precise control over its size and shape. Biocompatibility, targetability, programmability, and stability are further advantages that make it a potentially beneficial technique for a variety of applications. The preclinical studies of sophisticated programmable nanomedicines and nanodevices that can precisely respond to particular disease-associated triggers and microenvironments have been made possible by recent developments in DNA origami. These stimuli, which are endogenous to the targeted disorders, include protein upregulation, pH, redox status, and small chemicals. Oncology has traditionally been the focus of the majority of past and current research on this subject. Therefore, in this comprehensive review, we delve into the intricate world of DNA origami, exploring its defining features and capabilities. This review covers the fundamental characteristics of DNA origami, targeting DNA origami to cells, cellular uptake, and subcellular localization. Throughout the review, we emphasised on elucidating the imperative for such a therapeutic platform, especially in addressing the complexities of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, we explore the vast potential inherent in DNA origami technology, envisioning its promising role in the realm of CVD treatment and beyond.

A review of DNA nanoparticles-encapsulated drug/gene/protein for advanced controlled drug release: Current status and future perspective over emerging therapy approaches. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131694. [PMID: 38642693 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
In the last ten years, the field of nanomedicine has experienced significant progress in creating novel drug delivery systems (DDSs). An effective strategy involves employing DNA nanoparticles (NPs) as carriers to encapsulate drugs, genes, or proteins, facilitating regulated drug release. This abstract examines the utilization of DNA NPs and their potential applications in strategies for controlled drug release. Researchers have utilized the distinctive characteristics of DNA molecules, including their ability to self-assemble and their compatibility with living organisms, to create NPs specifically for the purpose of delivering drugs. The DNA NPs possess numerous benefits compared to conventional drug carriers, such as exceptional stability, adjustable dimensions and structure, and convenient customization. Researchers have successfully achieved a highly efficient encapsulation of different therapeutic agents by carefully designing their structure and composition. This advancement enables precise and targeted delivery of drugs. The incorporation of drugs, genes, or proteins into DNA NPs provides notable advantages in terms of augmenting therapeutic effectiveness while reducing adverse effects. DNA NPs serve as a protective barrier for the enclosed payloads, preventing their degradation and extending their duration in the body. The protective effect is especially vital for delicate biologics, such as proteins or gene-based therapies that could otherwise be vulnerable to enzymatic degradation or quick elimination. Moreover, the surface of DNA NPs can be altered to facilitate specific targeting towards particular tissues or cells, thereby augmenting the accuracy of delivery. A significant benefit of DNA NPs is their capacity to regulate the kinetics of drug release. Through the manipulation of the DNA NPs structure, scientists can regulate the rate at which the enclosed cargo is released, enabling a prolonged and regulated dispensation of medication. This control is crucial for medications with limited therapeutic ranges or those necessitating uninterrupted administration to attain optimal therapeutic results. In addition, DNA NPs have the ability to react to external factors, including alterations in temperature, pH, or light, which can initiate the release of the payload at precise locations or moments. This feature enhances the precision of drug release control. The potential uses of DNA NPs in the controlled release of medicines are extensive. The NPs have the ability to transport various therapeutic substances, for example, drugs, peptides, NAs (NAs), and proteins. They exhibit potential for the therapeutic management of diverse ailments, including cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases. In addition, DNA NPs can be employed for targeted drug delivery, traversing biological barriers, and surpassing the constraints of conventional drug administration methods.

Abstract
Cancer surgery remains a mainstay in clinical treatment. However, the efficacy of subsequent therapies largely depends on the precise evaluation of postoperative prognoses, underscoring the critical need for a comprehensive and accurate assessment of surgical outcomes. Nanoprobes targeting tumors offer a promising solution for visual prognostic assessment. In this study, we developed a "Spindle Monitor" system, designated as APPADs (Au NBPs@PDA-pep-AS1411-Dox), composed of core-shell nanoparticles. The core was made up of gold nanobipyramids (Au NBPs), coated with polydopamine (PDA), and subsequently loaded with peptide chains, AS1411, and doxorubicin (Dox). Upon deployment in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), APPADs released substantial amounts of Dox, initiating the apoptotic process. This triggered the activity of caspase-3, which is a crucial executor in the apoptotic pathway. Consequently, DEVD, a specific recognition site for caspase-3, was cleaved, enabling the disconnection of FITC-conjugated peptide chains and the recovery of fluorescence. Through assessing this fluorescence imaging effect, local laser irradiation could be precisely guided to the postoperative site, facilitating a synergistic combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy. Specifically, our "Spindle Monitor" APPADs had been validated to achieve accurate fluorescence imaging in vitro and in vivo, which demonstrated its potential value as a versatile tool for evaluating postoperative prognosis in surgical treatments, such as thyroid cancer, and assessing chemotherapy efficacy in difficult cases, like late-stage osteosarcoma. This promising tool lays a good foundation for development in visual prognosis evaluation after tumor surgery.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), as a kind of two-dimensional sp2 carbon nanomaterials, has attracted great attention in many fields in the past decade. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, GO is showing great promise in the field of biomedicine. For GO, all the atoms on its surface are exposed to the surface with ultra-high specific surface area, and a variety of groups on the surface, such as carboxyl, hydroxyl and epoxy groups, can effectively bind/load various biomolecules. Due to the availability of these groups, GO also possesses excellent hydrophilicity and biocompatibility for the modification of the desired biocompatible molecules or polymers on the surface of GO. The nano-network structure and hydrophobicity of GO enable it to load a large number of hydrophobic drugs containing benzene rings and it has been widely used as a multi-functional nano-carrier for chemotherapeutic drug or gene delivery. This review article will give an in-depth overview of the synthesis methods of GO, the advantages and disadvantages of GO used in nano-drug delivery system, the research progress of GO as a stimulus-responsive nano-drug carrier, and the application of these intelligent systems in cancer treatment.

Abstract
The detection of biomolecules at the single molecule level has important applications in the fields of biosensing and biomedical diagnosis. The solid-state nanopore (SS nanopore) is a sensitive tool for detecting single molecules because of its unique label-free and low sample consumption properties. SS nanopore translocation of small biomolecules is typically driven by an electronic field force and is thus influenced by the charge, shape, and size of the target molecules. Therefore, it remains challenging to control the translocation of biomolecules through SS nanopores, particularly for different proteins with complex conformations and unique charges. Toward this problem, a DNA polyhedral carrier coating strategy to assist protein translocation through SS nanopores is developed, which facilitates target protein detection. The current signal-to-noise ratios are improved significantly using this DNA carrier loading strategy. The proposed method should aid the detection of proteins, which are difficult to translocate through nanopores. This coating-assisted method offers a wide range of applications for SS nanopore detection and promotes the development of single-molecule detection.

Abstract
The use of nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the detection and treatment of cancer. Developments in protein engineering and materials science have led to the emergence of new nanoscale targeting techniques, which offer renewed hope for cancer patients. While several nanocarriers for medicinal purposes have been approved for human trials, only a few have been authorized for clinical use in targeting cancer cells. In this review, we analyze some of the authorized formulations and discuss the challenges of translating findings from the lab to the clinic. This study highlights the various nanocarriers and compounds that can be used for selective tumor targeting and the inherent difficulties in cancer therapy. Nanotechnology provides a promising platform for improving cancer detection and treatment in the future, but further research is needed to overcome the current limitations in clinical translation.

Abstract
Biomedical imaging technology, which allows us to peer deeply within living subjects and visually explore the delivery and distribution of agents in living things, is producing tremendous opportunities for the early diagnosis and precise therapy of diseases. In this feature article, based on reviewing the latest representative examples of progress together with our recent efforts in the bioimaging field, we intend to introduce three typical kinds of non-invasive imaging technologies, i.e., fluorescence, ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging, in which optical and/or acoustic signals are employed for analyzing various diseases. In particular, fluorescence imaging possesses a series of outstanding advantages, such as high temporal resolution, as well as rapid and sensitive feedback. Hence, in the first section, we will introduce the latest studies on developing novel fluorescence imaging methods for imaging bacterial infections, cancer and lymph node metastasis in a long-term and real-time manner. However, the issues of imaging penetration depth induced by photon scattering and light attenuation of biological tissue limit their widespread in vivo imaging applications. Taking advantage of the excellect penetration depth of acoustic signals, ultrasonic imaging has been widely applied for determining the location, size and shape of organs, identifying normal and abnormal tissues, as well as confirming the edges of lesions in hospitals. Thus, in the second section, we will briefly summarize recent advances in ultrasonic imaging techniques for diagnosing diseases in deep tissues. Nevertheless, the absence of lesion targeting and dependency on a professional technician may lead to the possibility of false-positive diagnosis. By combining the merits of both optical and acoustic signals, newly-developed photoacoustic imaging, simultaneously featuring higher temporal and spatial resolution with good sensitivity, as well as deeper penetration depth, is discussed in the third secretion. In the final part, we further discuss the major challenges and prospects for developing imaging technology for accurate disease diagnosis. We believe that these non-invasive imaging technologies will introduce a new perspective for the precise diagnosis of various diseases in the future.

Abstract
Seeman's pioneer idea has led to the foundation of DNA nanostructures, resulting in a remarkable advancement in DNA nanotechnology. Over the last few decades, remarkable advances in drug delivery techniques have resulted in the self-assembly of DNA for encapsulating candidate drug molecules. The nuclear targeting capability of DNA nanostructures is lies within their high spatial addressability and tremendous potential for active targeting. However, effective programming and assembling those DNA molecules remains a challenge, making the path to DNA nanostructures for real-world applications difficult. Because of their small size, most nanostructures are self-capable of infiltrating into the tumor cellular environment. Furthermore, to enable controlled and site-specific delivery of encapsulated drug molecules, DNA nanostructures are functionalized with special moieties that allow them to bind specific targets and release cargo only at targeted sites rather than non-specific sites, resulting in the prevention/limitation of cellular toxicity. In light of this, the current review seeks to shed light on the versatility of the DNA molecule as a targeting and encapsulating moiety for active drugs in order to achieve controlled and specific drug release with spatial and temporal precision. Furthermore, this review focused on the challenges associated with the construction of DNA nanostructures as well as the most recent advances in the functionalization of DNA nanostructures using various materials for controlled and targeted delivery of medications for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Developing simple, rapid, and accurate methods for cancer cell identification could facilitate early cancer diagnosis and tumor metastasis research. Herein, we develop a novel chemical nose sensor that employs the collective recognition abilities of a set of multiple-aptamer-integrated DNA origami (MADO) probes for discriminative identification of cancer cells. By controlling the types and/or copies of aptamers assembled on the DNA origami nanostructure, we constructed five MADO probes with differential binding affinities (ranging from 3.08 to 78.92 nM) to five types of cells (HeLa, MDA-MB-468, MCF-7, HepG2, and MCF-10A). We demonstrate the utility of the MADO-based chemical nose sensor in the identification of blinded unknown cell samples with a 95% accuracy. This sensing platform holds great potential for applications in medical diagnostics.

Abstract
Herein, we presented a novel DOX-loaded multi-storey DNA nanostructure, including AS1411 aptamer as a targeting agent for treatment of target cells (MCF-7 and 4T1). Gel retardation test and fluorometric analysis were used to examine the construction of DNA nanostructure and loading of DOX in the complex. At pH 5.5 and 7.4, the release patterns of DOX from the prepared formulation were studied. Cell viability test was conducted to analyze the cell cytotoxicity ability of the DOX loaded multi-storey DNA nanostructure compared to free DOX in 4T1, MCF-7 (target) and CHO cells (non-target). Flow cytometry analysis was used to examine the DOX-loaded DNA nanostructure internalization. Finally, the developed DOX-loaded multi-storey DNA nanostructure was tested in vivo to see if it could prevent tumor growth. The drug was released from the nanocomplex in a pH-related process (higher release in acidic pH compared to neutral pH). According to MTT assay, DOX-loaded DNA nanostructure damaged nucleolin positive cells while not significantly affecting nucleolin negative cells. The formulation was efficaciously internalized into target cells (4T1 and MCF-7), but not into non-target ones. Moreover, DOX-loaded DNA nanostructure can restrict tumor growth, increase survival rate, and accumulate significantly more in the tumor site than free DOX.

Abstract
At present, the development of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor with excellent performance is still the research focus of immunoassay and detection. Herein, SnS2 quantum dots (SnS2 QDs) and metal-organic framework (MIL-101 (Cr)) are effectively combined to achieve synergistic signal amplification based on K2S2O8 co-reactant, thereby constructing SnS2 QDs/SO4•- and SO4•-/O2 ECL double reaction luminous systems. SnS2 QDs and singlet oxygen (1(O2)2*) produced from the system as light-emitting devices jointly enhance the ECL response and significantly improve the sensitivity of the ECL immunosensor. Dissolved oxygen and SnS2 QDs respectively generate HOO• and SnS2 QDs•- under negative potential, and react with transient SO4•- to emit strong light respectively, so as to jointly enhance the ECL response. MIL-101 catalyzes the oxygen cathode reduction reaction to promote the conversion of dissolved oxygen into HOO•, which greatly improves the ECL response of 1(O2)2*. CuS with spherical nanoflower-like form as a co-reaction promoter of K2S2O8 generate more SO4•- active substances, which further enhance the ECL response of the immunosensor. The constructed ECL immunosensor has the advantages of low detection limit, high sensitivity and better stability. Under the optimal conditions, the detection range is 0.1 mU/mL∼100 U/mL, and the detection limit is 0.015 mU/mL. The results show that the constructed ECL immunosensor can detect human CA242 samples and have a broad application prospect in biological analysis and early diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Aptamers are short and single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules with highly programmable structures that give them the ability to interact specifically with a large variety of targets, including proteins, cells, and small molecules. Multivalent aptamers refer to molecular constructs that combine two or more identical or different types of aptamers. Multivalency increases the avidity of aptamers, a particularly advantageous feature that allows for significantly increased binding affinities in comparison with aptamer monomers. Another advantage of multivalency is increased aptamer stabilities that confer improved performances under physiological conditions for various applications in clinical settings. The current study aims to review the most recent developments in multivalent aptamer research. The review will first discuss structures of multivalent aptamers. This is followed by detailed discussions on design strategies of multivalent aptamer approaches. Finally, recent developments of the multivalent aptamer approach in biosensing and biomedical applications are highlighted.

Abstract
DNA, a natural biological material, has become an ideal choice for biomedical applications, mainly owing to its good biocompatibility, ease of synthesis, modifiability, and especially programmability. In recent years, with the deepening of the understanding of the physical and chemical properties of DNA and the continuous advancement of DNA synthesis and modification technology, the biomedical applications based on DNA materials have been upgraded to version 2.0: through elaborate design and fabrication of smart-responsive DNA nanodevices, they can respond to external or internal physical or chemical stimuli so as to smartly perform certain specific functions. For tumor treatment, this advancement provides a new way to solve the problems of precise targeting, controllable release, and controllable elimination of drugs to a certain extent. Here, we review the progress of related fields over the past decade, and provide prospects for possible future development directions.

Abstract
The rapid development of multidrug co-delivery and nano-medicines has made spontaneous progress in tumor treatment and diagnosis. DNA is a unique biological molecule that can be tailored and molded into various nanostructures. The addition of ligands or stimuli-responsive elements enables DNA nanostructures to mediate highly targeted drug delivery to the cancer cells. Smart DNA nanostructures, owing to their various shapes, sizes, geometry, sequences, and characteristics, have various modes of cellular internalization and final disposition. On the other hand, functionalized DNA nanocarriers have specific receptor-mediated uptake, and most of these ligand anchored nanostructures able to escape lysosomal degradation. DNA-based and stimuli responsive nano-carrier systems are the latest advancement in cancer targeting. The data exploration from various studies demonstrated that the DNA nanostructure and stimuli responsive drug delivery systems are perfect tools to overcome the problems existing in the cancer treatment including toxicity and compromised drug efficacy. In this light, the review summarized the insights about various types of DNA nanostructures and stimuli responsive nanocarrier systems applications for diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Nanopore detection is a label-free detection method designed to analyze single molecules by comparing specific translocation events with high signal-to-noise ratios. However, it is still challenging to understand the influences of structural flexibility of 100 nm DNA origami on nanopore translocations. Here, we used solid-state nanopores to characterize the translocation of “nunchaku” origami structures, the flexibility of which can be regulated by introducing specific DNA strands and streptavidin protein. The structural changes can result in significant variations in the translocation signals and distributions. It is anticipated that such a method of the flexible DNA origami translocation through a solid-state nanopore will find further applications in molecular detection as well as biosensing.

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
Specific interactions between ligands and receptors on cell surface play an important role in the cell biological process. Nucleic acid aptamers as commonly used ligands enable specific recognition and tight binding to membrane protein receptors for modulation of cell fate. Therefore, molecular probes with aptamers can be applied for cancer diagnosis and targeted therapy by targeting overexpression membrane proteins of cancer cells. However, because of their fast degradation and rapid glomerulus clearance in vivo, the applications of aptamers in physiological conditions remain challenged. Inspired by natural multivalent interactions, many approaches have been developed to construct multivalent aptamers to improve the performance of aptamers in complex matrices with higher binding affinity, more stability, and longer circulation time. In this review, we first introduce the aptamer generation from purified protein-based SELEX and whole cell-based SELEX for targeting the cell surface. We then highlight the approaches to fabricate multivalent aptamers and discuss their properties. By integrating different materials (including inorganic nanomaterials, diacyllipid, polymeric nanoparticles, and DNA nanostructures) as scaffolds with an interface modification technique, we have summarized four kinds of multivalent aptamers. After that, representative applications in biosensing and targeted therapy are illustrated to show the elevated performance of multivalent aptamers. In addition, we analyze the challenges and opportunities for the clinical practices of multivalent aptamers.
