Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 250:116094. [PMID: 38308943 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116094] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-mediated in-situ imaging and synergistic therapy may be an effective approach against tumors. However, it remains a challenge to improve therapeutic index and reduce toxicity. Here, we investigated the construction process of a three-layer (core-shell-shell) upconversion nano-jelly hydrogels (UCNJs) coated with stimulus-responsive deoxyribonucleic acid chains, aiming to achieve selective recognition of tumor cells and controlled release of drugs. The UCNJs have a NaYF4: Yb, Er core with an outer silica shell with embedded methylene blue (MB). Then the outer layer was coated with mesoporous silica and loaded with doxorubicin (DOX). Finally, polyacrylamide chains containing anti-adenosine triphosphate (ATP) aptamer sequences were assembled layer-by-layer on the surface of particles to form DNA hydrogels to lock DOX. Under near-infrared irradiation, green light (540 nm) emitted by UCNJs can be used for imaging, while red light (660 nm) is absorbed by MB. The latter generates singlet oxygen, resulting in photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect to inhibit tumor growth. UCNJs also can recognize ATP in tumor cells, leading to hydrogel degradation and DOX release. The hydrogel coating can increase drug-carrying capacity of mesoporous materials and improve biocompatibility. Therefore, the UCNJs has great potential advantages for application in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Nanomedicine in gel or particle formation holds considerable potential for enhancing passive and active targeting within ocular drug delivery systems. The complex barriers of the eye, exemplified by the intricate network of closely connected tissue structures, pose significant challenges for drug administration. Leveraging the capability of engineered nanomedicine offers a promising approach to enhance drug penetration, particularly through active targeting agents such as protein peptides and aptamers, which facilitate targeted release and heightened bioavailability. Simultaneously, DNA carriers have emerged as a cutting-edge class of active-targeting structures, connecting active targeting agents and illustrating their potential in ocular drug delivery applications. This review aims to consolidate recent findings regarding the optimization of various nanoparticles, i.e., hydrogel-based systems, incorporating both passive and active targeting agents for ocular drug delivery, thereby identifying novel mechanisms and strategies. Furthermore, the review delves into the potential application of DNA nanostructures, exploring their role in the development of targeted drug delivery approaches within the field of ocular therapy.

Abstract
Despite the vast interest in utilizing rolling circle amplification (RCA)-based DNA networks for bioapplications, precise control of the mechanical and physicochemical properties is highly challenging. To address this concern, we aimed to develop ultrasoft self-supporting polymerized DNA networks (pDNets) of variable crystallinities to manipulate sequence-mediated drug release efficiency. A controlled ratio of the inorganic magnesium pyrophosphate (MgPPi) crystal to the organic polymeric DNA resulted in the synthesis of pDNets of various nanoporosities. The number of crystal microstructures influencing drug localization and release pattern and the tunable mechanical properties influencing injectability and structural stability under physiological conditions were investigated. The pDNets exhibited ultrasoft properties with Young's moduli of 0.06-0.54 Pa; approximately 9-fold differences in mechanical properties were obtained by varying the degree of crystallinity. With functional DNA sequences, the developed platforms showed pH stimuli-responsive drug release profiles of the dynamic DNA structures and aptamer-specific cell target adhesion efficiency. Analyses of controlled delivery of anticancer therapeutics in vitro and in vivo revealed crystallinity-dependent antitumor efficacy without side effects. This strategy provides an effective one-pot enzymatic polymerization methodology and a favorable microenvironment for a three-dimensional DNA network based on demand-localized drug delivery.

Abstract
Accurate quantification of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) in serum before and after the medication is helpful in grasping the evolution of PCSK9-related disease and evaluating the efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors. Conventional approaches for PCSK9 quantification suffered from complicated operations and low sensitivity. By integrating stimuli-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles, dual-recognition proximity hybridization, and T7 exonuclease-assisted recycling amplification, a novel homogeneous chemiluminescence (CL) imaging approach was proposed for ultrasensitive and convenient immunoassay of PCSK9. Owing to the intelligent design and signal amplification property, the whole assay was conducted without separation and rinsing, significantly simplifying the procedure and eliminating the errors associated with the professional operation; meanwhile, it showed linear ranges over 5 orders of magnitude and detection limit as low as 0.7 pg mL-1. Parallel testing was allowed due to the imaging readout, which brought a maximum throughput of 26 tests h-1. The proposed CL approach was applied to analyze PCSK9 from hyperlipidemia mice before and after the intervention of the PCSK9 inhibitor. Serum PCSK9 levels in the model group and the intervention group could be distinguished efficiently. The results were reliable compared to commercial immunoassay results and histopathologic findings. Thus, it could facilitate the monitoring of the serum PCSK9 level and the lipid-lowering effect of the PCSK9 inhibitor, showing promising potential in bioanalysis and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The assembly of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-responsive and miRNA-responsive DNA tetrahedra-functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel microcapsules is presented. The microcapsules are loaded with the doxorubicin-dextran drug or with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots as a drug model. Selective unlocking of the respective microcapsules and the release of the loads in the presence of ATP or miRNA-141 are demonstrated. Functionalization of the hydrogel microcapsules a with corona of DNA tetrahedra nanostructures yields microcarriers that revealed superior permeation into cells. This is demonstrated by the effective permeation of the DNA tetrahedra-functionalized microcapsules into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, as compared to epithelial MCF-10A nonmalignant breast cells. The superior permeation of the tetrahedra-functionalized microcapsules into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, as compared to analog control hydrogel microcapsules modified with a corona of nucleic acid duplexes. The effective permeation of the stimuli-responsive, drug-loaded, DNA tetrahedra-modified microcapsules yields drug carriers of superior and selective cytotoxicity toward cancer cells.

Abstract
G-Quadruplexes attract growing interest as functional constituents in biology, chemistry, nanotechnology, and material science. In particular, the reversible dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes provides versatile means to switch DNA nanostructures, reversibly control catalytic functions of DNA assemblies, and switch material properties and functions. The present review article discusses the switchable dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes as central functional and structural motifs that enable diverse applications in DNA nanotechnology and material science. The dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes has a major impact on the development of DNA switches and DNA machines. The integration of G-quadruplexes with enzymes yields supramolecular assemblies exhibiting switchable catalytic functions guided by dynamic G-quadruplex topologies. In addition, G-quadruplexes act as important building blocks to operate constitutional dynamic networks and transient dissipative networks mimicking complex biological dynamic circuitries. Furthermore, the integration of G-quadruplexes with DNA nanostructures, such as origami tiles, introduces dynamic and mechanical features into these static frameworks. Beyond the dynamic operation of G-quadruplex structures in solution, the assembly of G-quadruplexes on bulk surfaces such as electrodes or nanoparticles provides versatile means to engineer diverse electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices and to switch the dynamic aggregation/deaggregation of nanoparticles, leading to nanoparticle assemblies that reveal switchable optical properties. Finally, the functionalization of hydrogels, hydrogel microcapsules, or nanoparticle carriers, such as SiO2 nanoparticles or metal-organic framework nanoparticles, yields stimuli-responsive materials exhibiting shape-memory, self-healing, and controlled drug release properties. Indeed, G-quadruplex-modified nanomaterials find growing interest in the area of nanomedicine. Beyond the impressive G-quadruplex-based scientific advances achieved to date, exciting future developments are still anticipated. The review addresses these goals by identifying the potential opportunities and challenges ahead of the field in the coming years.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been well-researched in the design and fabrication of advanced drug delivery systems (DDSs) due to their advantages such as good biocompatibility, large specific surface area and pore volume for drug loading, easily surface modification, adjusted size and good thermal/chemical stability. For MSN-based DDSs, gate materials are also necessary. And natural polysaccharides, one kind of the most abundant natural resource, have been widely applied as the "gatekeepers" in MSN-based DDSs. Polysaccharides are cheap and rich in sources with good biocompatibility, and some of them have important biological functions. In this review article, polysaccharides including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, sodium alginate and dextran, et al. are briefly introduced. And the preparation processes and properties such as controlled drug release, cancer targeting and disease diagnosis of functional polysaccharide/MSN-based DDSs are discussed.

Abstract
Knocking down the oncogene ROC1 with siRNA inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells by suppressing the Neddylation pathway. However, methods for delivering siRNA in vivo to induce this high anticancer activity with low potential side effects are urgently needed. Herein, a folic acid (FA)-modified polydopamine (PDA) nanomedicine used in photothermal therapy was designed for siRNA delivery. The designed nanovector can undergo photothermal conversion with good biocompatibility. Importantly, this genetic nanomedicine was selectively delivered to liver cancer cells by FA through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, the siRNA cargo was released from the PDA nanomedicine into the tumor microenvironment by controlled release triggered by pH. More importantly, the genetic nanomedicine not only inhibited liver cancer cell proliferation but also promoted liver cell apoptosis by slowing ROC1 activity, suppressing the Neddylation pathway, enabling the accumulation of apototic factor ATF4 and DNA damage factor P-H2AX. Combined with photothermal therapy, this genetic nanomedicine showed superior inhibition of the growth of liver cancer in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, the results indicate that this biodegradable nanomedicine exhibits good target recognition, an effective pH response, application potential for genetic therapy, photothermal imaging and treatment of liver cancer. Therefore, this work contributes to the design of a multifunctional nanoplatform that combines genetic therapy and photothermal therapy for the treatment of liver cancer. ![]()

Abstract
Targeted delivery and smart response of nanomedicine hold great promise for improving the therapeutic efficacy and alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy agents in cancer treatment. However, availability of only a few studies that discuss organic nanomedicines with these properties limits the development prospects of nanomedicines. In the present study, folic acid (FA)-targeted delivery and glutathione (GSH) smart responsive nanomedicine were rationally designed for paclitaxel (PTX) delivery for the treatment of lung cancer. Compared with other stimuli-responsive nanomedicines, this nanocarrier was not only sensitive to biologically relevant GSH for on-demand drug release but also biodegradable into biocompatible products after fulfilling its delivery task. The nanomedicine first entered tumor cells via FA and its receptor-mediated endocytosis. After the lysosomal escape, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanomedicine was triggered by a higher level of GSH and released its cargo into the tumor microenvironment. In vitro and in vivo results revealed that the PLGA nanomedicine not only inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of lung cancer cells significantly but also possessed less toxic side effects when compared with free PTX. Therefore, the proposed drug delivery system demonstrates the potential of a multifunctional nano-platform to enhance bioavailability and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy agents.

Abstract
In this work, an original rolling-circle strand displacement amplification (RC-SDA) was developed by introducing a circle DNA with two recognition domains as a template instead of the limited liner DNA template in traditional strand displacement amplification (SDA), which displayed much shorter reaction time down to 30 min and quite higher conversion efficiency of more than 1.77 × 108 compared with those of traditional strand displacement amplification (SDA) and could be applied to construct a label-free biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of an HIV DNA fragment. Once the target HIV DNA fragment interacts with the template circle DNA, the RC-SDA could be activated to dramatically output amounts of mimic target DNA with the assistance of the Phi29 DNA polymerase and Nb.BbvCI enzyme. In application, while the output products were captured by the DNA tetrahedral nanoprobe (DTNP) modified electrode, the electrochemical tag silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) on DTNP would be released from the electrode surface, accompanied with an obviously decreased electrochemical signal. This way, the developed signal-off biosensor was successfully applied to realize the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of target HIV DNA fragment with a detection limit down to 0.21 fM, which exploits the new generation of a universal strategy beyond the traditional ones for applications in biosensing assay, clinic diagnosis, and DNA nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Cinobufagin is used as a traditional Chinese medicine for cancer therapy. However, it has some disadvantages, such as poor water solubility, short circulating half-life, and low bioavailability. In the present study, a targeted delivery and smart responsive polydopamine (PDA)-based nanomedicine for delivering cinobufagin was rationally designed to improve the anticancer efficacy of the compound for the treatment of lung cancer. The modification of the nanomedicine using folic acid first mediated tumor targeting via the interaction between folic acid and its receptors on tumor cells. After lysosomes escape, the PDA nanomedicine was triggered by the low pH and released its cargo into the tumor microenvironment. The nanomedicine had a better therapeutic effect against lung cancer when used in combination with photothermal therapy. Compared with other nanomedicines used with photothermal therapy, this nanocarrier was not only sensitive to biologically low pH levels for on-demand drug release, but was also biodegradable, breaking down into biocompatible terminal products. Therefore, the proposed drug delivery system with targeted delivery and smart release demonstrated potential as a multifunctional nanoplatform that can enhance the bioavailability and reduce the side effects of chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Sequence-specific nucleic acids recognizing low-molecular-weight ligands or macromolecules (aptamers) have found growing interest for biomedical applications. The present review article summarizes recent applications of aptamers as stimuli-responsive gating units of drug (or dye)-loaded nano- or microcarriers for controlled and targeted drug release. In the presence of cellular biomarkers, the nano-/microcarriers are unlocked by forming aptamer-ligand complexes. Different aptamer-functinalized nano-/microcarriers are presented, including inorganic nanomaterials, metal-organic framework nanoparticles, and soft materials. The chemistries associated with the preparation of the carriers and the mechanisms to unlock the carriers are discussed. Stimuli-responsive gated drug-loaded micro-/nanocarriers hold great promise as functional sense-and-treat materials for the targeted and selective release of drugs.

Abstract
Due to powerful breakthroughs in nanotechnology, smart delivery mechanisms have rapidly emerged for use in diverse applications across biomedical research and therapeutic development. Recent efforts toward understanding stimuli-responsive strategies have led to substantial improvements in their conceptual application and in vitro efficiency. Because disease targets for therapy are often localized in specific cells, organs, or tissues, an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)-based strategy remains inadequate for accurate drug delivery and release to target regions, resulting in an insufficient drug concentration reaching the target region and undesired side effects. To address these issues, more precise and remote-controlled stimuli-responsive systems, which recognize and react to changes in the pathophysiological microenvironment, were recently elucidated as feasible on-demand drug-delivery systems. In this Perspective, we focus on progress toward stimuli-responsive drug-delivery systems that utilize dynamic DNA molecules by exploiting DNA nanotechnology. DNA structures can be precisely reconfigured by external and internal stimuli to drive the release of a loaded drug in a target region with appropriate microenvironments. We describe the chemical, physical, and biological engineering principles and strategies for constructing DNA-assisted nanocarriers. We also provide a summary of smart nanocarrier systems, organized with respect to the structural changes in the DNA strand in the microenvironment, resulting from changes in pH and temperature and the presence of intracellular oligonucleotides. To do so, we highlight recent advances in related biomedical research and applications as well as discuss major challenges and opportunities for DNA-assisted nanocarriers to guide the development of future in vivo therapies and clinical translation strategies.

Abstract
Sequence-specific nucleic acids exhibiting selective recognition properties towards low-molecular-weight substrates and macromolecules (aptamers) find growing interest as functional biopolymers for analysis, medical applications such as imaging, drug delivery and even therapeutic agents, nanotechnology, material science and more. The present perspective article introduces a glossary of examples for diverse applications of aptamers mainly originated from our laboratory. These include the introduction of aptamer-functionalized nanomaterials such as graphene oxide, Ag nanoclusters and semiconductor quantum dots as functional hybrid nanomaterials for optical sensing of target analytes. The use of aptamer-functionalized DNA tetrahedra nanostructures for multiplex analysis and aptamer-loaded metal-organic framework nanoparticles acting as sense-and-treat are introduced. Aptamer-functionalized nano and microcarriers are presented as stimuli-responsive hybrid drug carriers for controlled and targeted drug release, including aptamer-functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles, carbon dots, metal-organic frameworks and microcapsules. A further application of aptamers involves the conjugation of aptamers to catalytic units as a means to mimic enzyme functions "nucleoapzymes". In addition, the formation and dissociation of aptamer-ligand complexes are applied to develop mechanical molecular devices and to switch nanostructures such as origami scaffolds. Finally, the article discusses future challenges in applying aptamers in material science, nanotechnology and catalysis.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a central metabolite that plays an indispensable role in various cellular processes, from energy supply to cell-to-cell signaling. Nature has developed sophisticated strategies to use the energy stored in ATP for many metabolic and non-equilibrium processes, and to sense and bind ATP for biological signaling. The variations in the ATP concentrations from one organelle to another, from extracellular to intracellular environments, and from normal cells to cancer cells are one motivation for designing ATP-triggered and ATP-fueled systems and materials, because they show great potential for applications in biological systems by using ATP as a trigger or chemical fuel. Over the last decade, ATP has been emerging as an attractive co-assembling component for man-made stimuli-responsive as well as for fuel-driven active systems and materials. Herein, current advances and emerging concepts for ATP-triggered and ATP-fueled self-assemblies and materials are discussed, shedding light on applications and highlighting future developments. By bringing together concepts of different domains, that is from supramolecular chemistry to DNA nanoscience, from equilibrium to non-equilibrium self-assembly, and from fundamental sciences to applications, the aim is to cross-fertilize current approaches with the ultimate aim to bring synthetic ATP-dependent systems closer to living systems.

Abstract
In this work, a simple but sensitive electrochemical DNA biosensor for nucleic acid detection was developed by taking advantage of exonuclease (Exo) I-assisted cleavage for background reduction and zirconia-reduced graphene oxide-thionine (ZrO2-rGO-Thi) nanocomposite for integral DNA recognition, signal amplification, and reporting. The ZrO2-rGO nanocomposite was obtained by a one-step hydrothermal synthesis method. Then, thionine was adsorbed onto the rGO surface, via π-π stacking, as an excellent electrochemical probe. The biosensor fabrication is very simple, with probe DNA immobilization and hybridization recognition with the target nucleic acid. Then, the ZrO2-rGO-Thi nanocomposite was captured onto an electrode via the multicoordinative interaction of ZrO2 with the phosphate group on the DNA skeleton. The adsorbed abundant thionine molecules onto the ZrO2-rGO nanocomposite facilitated an amplified electrochemical response related with the target DNA. Since upon the interaction of the ZrO2-rGO-Thi nanocomposite with the probe DNA an immobilized electrode may also occur, an Exo I-assisted cleavage was combined to remove the unhybridized probe DNA for background reduction. With the current proposed strategy, the target DNA related with P53 gene could be sensitively assayed, with a wide linear detection range from 100 fM to 10 nM and an attractive low detection limit of 24 fM. Also, the developed DNA biosensor could differentiate the mismatched targets from complementary target DNA. Therefore, it offers a simple but effective biosensor fabrication strategy and is anticipated to show potential for applications in bioanalysis and medical diagnosis.

Abstract
Tailoring personalized cancer nanomedicines demands detailed understanding of the tumor microenvironment. In recent years, smart upconversion nanoparticles with the ability to exploit the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment for precise targeting have been designed. To activate upconversion nanoparticles, various bio-physicochemical characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, namely, acidic pH, redox reactants, and hypoxia, are exploited. Stimuli-responsive upconversion nanoparticles also utilize the excessive presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), riboflavin, and Zn2+ in tumors. An overview of the design of stimulus-responsive upconversion nanoparticles that precisely target and respond to tumors via targeting the tumor microenvironment and intracellular signals is provided. Detailed understanding of the tumor microenvironment and the personalized design of upconversion nanoparticles will result in more effective clinical translation.

Abstract
Stimuli response or controlled release is a new research hotspot in nanomedicine; however, there is scarce research on organic nanomedicines with stimuli responses, which limits their practical biological applications. In addition, homoharringtonine (HHT) has been used as an effective anticancer agent, but reducing its toxicity and side effects is an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, an EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) aptamer-modified HHT-loaded PLGA-SS-PEG nanomedicine was developed. The nanomaterial possesses spherical morphology and admirable biocompatibility. After targeted endocytosis in tumour cells via the selective recognition between EGFR and its aptamer, the PLGA nanomedicine is triggered by a high GSH level and releases its cargo in lung cancer cells. The in vitro and in vivo results reveal that the PLGA nanomedicine not only inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of lung cancer cells, but also possessed better therapeutic efficacy and less toxic side effects compared with the free anticancer agent. Consequently, this study provides a novel approach to construct a biodegradable nanomedicine with targeted recognition and stimuli response. Moreover, it inhibited the proliferation of lung cancer cells with high efficiency and low toxicity. Importantly, the PLGA nanomedicine demonstrates encouraging potential as a multifunctional nano-system applicable for cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this study, a series of Co3O4 nanoparticle-functionalized mesoporous SiO2 (Co–SiO2) were successfully synthesized via a spontaneous infiltration route. Co species were firstly infiltrated into the confined spaces between the surfactant and silica walls, with the assistance of grinding CoCl3·6H2O and the as-prepared mesoporous SiO2. Then, Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were formed and grown in the limited space of the mesopores, after calcination. Structures, morphologies, and compositions of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectrum, N2 adsorption, and Fourier transform infrared spectra. Results showed that the high content of Co (rCo:Si = 0.17) can be efficiently dispersed into the mesoporous SiO2 as forms of Co3O4 NPs, and the structural ordering of the mesoporous SiO2 was well-preserved at the same time. The Co3O4 NP functionalized mesoporous SiO2 materials were used as Fenton-like catalysts for removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The catalyst prepared at rCo:Si = 0.17 could completely remove the high-concentration of MB (120 mg·L−1), and also showed an excellent performance with a removal capacity of 138 mg·g−1 to 180 mg·L−1 of MB. Catalytic mechanisms were further revealed, based on the degradation results.

Abstract
The ability to monitor types, concentrations, and activities of different biomolecules is essential to obtain information about the molecular processes within cells. Successful monitoring requires a sensitive and selective tool that can respond to these molecular changes. Molecular aptamer beacon (MAB) is a molecular imaging and detection tool that enables visualization of small or large molecules by combining the selectivity and sensitivity of molecular beacon and aptamer technologies. MAB design leverages structure switching and specific recognition to yield an optical on/off switch in the presence of the target. Various donor-quencher pairs such as fluorescent dyes, quantum dots, carbon-based materials, and metallic nanoparticles have been employed in the design of MABs. In this work, the diverse biomedical applications of MAB technology are focused on. Different conjugation strategies for the energy donor-acceptor pairs are addressed, and the overall sensitivities of each detection system are discussed. The future potential of this technology in the fields of biomedical research and diagnostics is also highlighted.

Abstract
Facile chemical modification of mesoporous silica particles allows the production of gated reservoir systems capable of hydrophobicity-triggered release. Applied to the delivery of nutrients specifically to an oil phase, the systems developed have been shown to reliably assist the bacterial degradation of hydrocarbons. The gated system developed, made of C18 hydrocarbon chains, is demonstrated to be in a closed collapsed state in an aqueous environment, yet opens up through solvation by lipophilic alkanes and releases its content on contact with the oil phase.

Abstract
Dynamic and reconfigurable systems that can sense and react to physical and chemical signals are ubiquitous in nature and are of great interest in diverse areas of science and technology. DNA is a powerful tool for fabricating such smart materials and devices due to its programmable and responsive molecular recognition properties. For the past couple of decades, DNA-based self-assembly is actively explored to fabricate various DNA-organic and DNA-inorganic hybrid nanostructures with high-precision structural control. Building upon past development, researchers have recently begun to design and assemble dynamic nanostructures that can undergo an on-demand transformation in the structure, properties, and motion in response to various external stimuli. In this Review, recent advances in dynamic DNA nanostructures, focusing on hybrid structures fabricated from DNA-conjugated molecules, polymers, and nanoparticles, are introduced, and their potential applications and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Specific nucleic acid detection in vitro or in vivo has become increasingly important in the discovery of genetic diseases, diagnosing pathogen infection and monitoring disease treatment. One challenge, however, is that the amount of target nucleic acid in specimens is limited. Furthermore, direct sensing methods are also unable to provide sufficient sensitivity and specificity. Fortunately, due to advances in nanotechnology and nanomaterials, nanotechnology-based bioassays have emerged as powerful and promising approaches providing ultra-high sensitivity and specificity in nucleic acid detection. This chapter presents an overview of strategies used in the development and integration of nanotechnology for nucleic acid detection, including optical and electrical detection methods, and nucleic acid assistant recycling amplification strategies. Recent 5 years representative examples are reviewed to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for DNA/RNA detection and the underlying mechanism for detection of DNA/RNA with the higher sensitivity and selectivity. Furthermore, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and future trends in this field is provided both from fundamental and practical point of view.

Abstract
Base-pairing is stable under physiological temperature but broken by heating, which is the basic mechanism for nucleic acid amplification in biology. In this manuscript, a simple controlled-drug-release system was prepared on the basis of this rule and its in vivo activity was studied. Poly adenine (poly A), the tail of the synthesized RNA chain, was exploited as gatekeeper of thymine (T)-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-T) based on the simple A-T base-pairing rules. The gate keeper maintains stability to avoid drug (chemotherapy and photothermal therapy drugs) release during the delivery process but is effectively removed by a photothermal effect to trigger drug release at the tumor tissue by near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. In vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that the prepared nanomedicine could effectively suppress tumor growth and activate antitumor immunity.

Abstract
UiO-68 metal-organic framework nanoparticles (NMOFs) are loaded with a doxorubicin drug (fluorescent dye analogs) and locked by means of structurally engineered duplex nucleic acid structures, where one strand is covalently linked to the NMOFs and the second strand is hybridized with the anchor strand. Besides the complementarity of the second strand to the anchor sequence, it includes the complementary sequence to the microRNAs (miRNA)-21 or miRNA-221 that is specific miRNA biomarker for MCF-7 breast cancer cells or OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells. In the presence of the respective miRNA biomarkers, the miRNA-induced displacement of the strand associated with the anchor strand proceeds, resulting in the release of DNA/miRNA duplexes. The released duplexes are, however, engineered to be digested in the presence of exonuclease III, Exo III, a process that recycles the miRNAs and provides the autonomous amplified unlocking of the NMOFs and the release of the doxorubicin load (or the fluorescent dye analogs) even at low concentrations of miRNA. Preliminary cell experiments reveal that the respective NMOFs are unlocked by the miRNA-21 or miRNA-221, resulting in selective cytotoxicity toward MCF-7 breast cancer cells or OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells.

Abstract
We show herein that allostery offers a key strategy for the design of out-of-equilibrium systems by engineering allosteric DNA-based nanodevices for the transient loading and release of small organic molecules. To demonstrate the generality of our approach, we used two model DNA-based aptamers that bind ATP and cocaine through a target-induced conformational change. We re-engineered these aptamers so that their affinity towards their specific target is controlled by a DNA sequence acting as an allosteric inhibitor. The use of an enzyme that specifically cleaves the inhibitor only when it is bound to the aptamer generates a transient allosteric control that leads to the release of ATP or cocaine from the aptamers. Our approach confirms that the programmability and predictability of nucleic acids make synthetic DNA/RNA the perfect candidate material to re-engineer synthetic receptors that can undergo chemical fuel-triggered release of small-molecule cargoes and to rationally design non-equilibrium systems.

Abstract
Recent advances addressing the development of stimuli-responsive nucleic acid (DNA)-functionalized micro/nanocarriers for the controlled release of drugs are presented. The DNA associated with the drug-loaded carriers acts as capping units that lock the drugs in the carriers. In the presence of appropriate triggers, the capping units are unlocked, resulting in the release of the drugs. Three types of DNA-modified carriers are discussed, including mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticles (MP SiO2 NPs), metal-organic framework nanoparticles (NMOFs) and micro/nanocapsules. The triggers to unlock the DNA gating units include pH, the dissociation of K+-stabilized G-quadruplexes in the presence of crown ethers, the catalytic dissociation of the capping units by enzymes or DNAzymes, the dissociation of capping units by the formation of aptamer-ligand complexes (particularly ligands acting as biomarkers for different diseases), and the use of light for the photochemical unlocking of the DNA gates. Different issues related to the targeting of the different drug-loaded carriers to cancer cells, the switchable ON/OFF release of the drug loads, and the selective cytotoxicity of the drug-loaded carriers toward cancer cells are discussed. Finally, the future perspectives of the stimuli-responsive DNA-based, drug-loaded micro/nanocarriers for future nanomedicine and, in particular, the development of autonomous sense-and-treat systems are addressed.

Abstract
Mesoporous materials are ideal carriers for guest molecules and they have been widely used in analytical science. The unique mesoporous structure provides special properties including large specific surface area, tunable pore size, and excellent pore connectivity. The structural properties of mesoporous materials have been largely made use of to improve the performance of analytical methods. For instance, the large specific surface area of mesoporous materials can provide abundant active sites and increase the probability of contact between analytes and active sites to produce stronger signals, thus leading to the improvement of detection sensitivity. The connections between analytical performances and the structural properties of mesoporous materials have not been discussed previously. Understanding the "structure-performance relationship" is highly important for the development of analytical methods with excellent performance based on mesoporous materials. In this review, we discuss the structural properties of mesoporous materials that can be optimized to improve the analytical performance. The discussion is divided into five sections according to the analytical performances: (i) selectivity-related structural properties, (ii) sensitivity-related structural properties, (iii) response time-related structural properties, (iv) stability-related structural properties, and (v) recovery time-related structural properties.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanocomposites containing intrinsic property for serving as the sensing elements as well as targeted nanoconjugates are highly preferred in various therapeutic applications. In this work, nanocomposites of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and Fe3O4 with conjugation of lectin protein, concanavalin A, to form GQD-ConA@Fe3O4 nanocomposites are developed for both detection of cancer cell and release of drugs to HeLa cells. The GQD-ConA@Fe3O4 nanocomposites deposited on Pt electrode can detect cancerous HeLa cells over normal endothelial cells with a dynamic linear range of 5 × 102 to 1 × 105 cells mL-1 with a detection limit of 273 cell mL-1. The GQD-ConA@Fe3O4 also can serve as nanocarriers for loading and delivering doxorubicin (Dox). The in vitro cell images show that the Dox concentration in HeLa cells is enhanced more than double in the presence of external magnetic field due to the incorporation of Fe3O4 in the nanocarrier. The cytotoxicity assay indicates that the susceptibility of cancerous HeLa cells to Dox is 13% higher than that of normal cells, confirming the selective role of ConA in nanocarriers. Results clearly indicate the GQD-ConA@Fe3O4 nanocomposites as a promising material for cancer cell detection and targeted Dox release toward HeLa cells which can serve as the multifunctional platform for novel cancer cell diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Modern optical detection technology plays a critical role in current clinical detection due to its high sensitivity and accuracy. However, higher requirements such as extremely high detection sensitivity have been put forward due to the clinical needs for the early finding and diagnosing of malignant tumors which are significant for tumor therapy. The technology of isothermal amplification with nucleic acids opens up avenues for meeting this requirement. Recent reports have shown that a nucleic acid amplification-assisted modern optical sensing interface has achieved satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy, high speed and specificity. Compared with isothermal amplification technology designed to work completely in a solution system, solid biosensing interfaces demonstrated better performances in stability and sensitivity due to their ease of separation from the reaction mixture and the better signal transduction on these optical nano-biosensing interfaces. Also the flexibility and designability during the construction of these nano-biosensing interfaces provided a promising research topic for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer diseases. In this review, we describe the construction of the burgeoning number of optical nano-biosensing interfaces assisted by a nucleic acid amplification strategy, and provide insightful views on: (1) approaches to the smart fabrication of an optical nano-biosensing interface, (2) biosensing mechanisms via the nucleic acid amplification method, (3) the newest strategies and future perspectives.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures can show dynamic responses to molecular triggers for a wide variety of applications. While DNA sequence signal triggers are now well-established, there is a critical need for a broader diversity of molecular triggers to drive dynamic responses in DNA nanostructures. DNA aptamers are ideal; they can both seamlessly integrate into DNA nanostructure scaffolds and transduce molecular recognition into functional responses. Here, we report construction and optimization of a DNA origami nanobox locked by a pair of DNA double strands where one strand is a DNA aptamer targeting the malaria biomarker protein Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase. The protein acts as the key which enables box opening. We observe highly specific protein-mediated box opening by both transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence. Aptamer-enabled DNA boxes have significant potential for enabling direct responses to proteins and other biomolecules in nanoscale diagnostics, drug delivery and sensing devices.

Abstract
Integration of nanotechnology and biomedicine has offered great opportunities for the development of nanoscaled therapeutic platforms. Amongst various nanocarriers, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) is one of the most developed and promising inorganic materials-based drug delivery system for clinical translations due to their simple composition and nanoporous structure. MSNs possess unique structural features, for example, well-defined morphology, large surface areas, uniform size, controllable structure, flexible pore volume, tunable pore sizes, extraordinarily high loading efficiency, and excellent biocompatibility. Progress in structure control and functionalization may endow MSNs with functionalities that enable medical applications of these integrated nanoparticles such as molecularly targeted drug delivery, multicomponent synergistic therapy, in vivo imaging and therapeutic capability, on-demand/stimuli-responsive drug release, etc. In this chapter, the authors overview MSNs' characteristics and the scientific efforts developed till date involving drug delivery and biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this paper, polyethylenimine (PEI) and Chitosan were simultaneously one-step doped into silicon dioxide (SiO2 ) nanoparticles to synthesize PEI/Chitosan/SiO2 composite nanoparticles. The polymer PEI contained a large amount of amino groups, which can realize the amino functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles. And, the good pore forming effect of Chitosan was introduced into SiO2 nanoparticles, and the resulting composite nanoparticles also had a porous structure. In pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution (PBS), the amino groups of PEI had positive charges, and therefore the fluorescein sodium dye molecule can be loaded into the channels of PEI/Chitosan/SiO2 composite nanoparticles by electrostatic adsorption. Furthermore, utilizing the diversity of DNA molecular conformation, we designed a high sensitive controllable assembly of DNA gated fluorescent sensor based on PEI/Chitosan/SiO2 composite nanoparticles as loading materials. The factors affecting the sensing performance of the sensor were investigated, and the sensing mechanism was also further studied.

Abstract
Colon targeted drug delivery is highly relevant not only to treat colonic local diseases but also for systemic therapies. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been demonstrated as useful systems for controlled drug release given their biocompatibility and the possibility of designing gated systems able to release cargo only upon the presence of certain stimuli. We report herein the preparation of three gated MSNs able to deliver their cargo triggered by different stimuli (redox ambient (S1), enzymatic hydrolysis (S2), and a surfactant or being in contact with cell membrane (S3)) and their performance in solution and in vitro with Caco-2 cells. Safranin O dye was used as a model drug to track cargo fate. Studies of cargo permeability in Caco-2 monolayers demonstrated that intracellular safranin O levels were significantly higher in Caco-2 monolayers when using MSNs compared to those of free dye. Internalization assays indicated that S2 nanoparticles were taken up by cells via endocytosis. S2 nanoparticles were selected for in vivo tests in rats. For in vivo assays, capsules were filled with S2 nanoparticles and coated with Eudragit FS 30 D to target colon. The enteric coated capsule containing the MSNs was able to deliver S2 nanoparticles in colon tissue (first step), and then nanoparticles were able to deliver safranin O inside the colonic cells after the enzymatic stimuli (second step). This resulted in high levels of safranin O in colonic tissue combined with low dye levels in plasma and body tissues. The results suggested that this combination of enzyme-responsive gated MSNs and enteric coated capsules may improve the absorption of drugs in colon to treat local diseases with a reduction of systemic effects.

Stimuli-responsive nucleic acid-functionalized metal-organic framework nanoparticles using pH- and metal-ion-dependent DNAzymes as locks. Chem Sci 2017; 8:5769-5780. [PMID: 28989617 PMCID: PMC5621505 DOI: 10.1039/c7sc01765k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 135] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2017] [Accepted: 06/06/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
A versatile approach to modify metal-organic framework nanoparticles (NMOFs) with nucleic acid tethers, using the "click chemistry" method is introduced. The nucleic acid-functionalized NMOFs are used to prepare stimuli-responsive carriers of loads (fluorescence probes or anti-cancer drugs). Two different stimuli-responsive nucleic acid-based NMOFs are presented. One system involves the preparation of pH-responsive NMOFs. The NMOFs are loaded with fluorophores or doxorubicin anti-cancer drug and locked in the NMOFs by pH-responsive DNA duplex capping units. At pH = 5.0 the capping units are unlocked, leading to the release of the loads. The AS1411 aptamer is conjugated to the locking units as the targeting unit for the nucleolin biomarker present in cancer cells. The pH-responsive doxorubicin-loaded NMOFs and, in particular, the AS1411 aptamer-modified pH-responsive NMOFs reveal selective, targeted, cytotoxicity toward MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. A second system involves the synthesis of NMOFs that are loaded with fluorophores or doxorubicin and capped with metal-ion-dependent DNAzyme/substrate complexes as locking units (metal ion = Mg2+ or Pb2+ ions). In the presence of the respective metal ions, the nucleic acid locking units are cleaved off, resulting in the release of the loads. Also, "smart" Mg2+-ion-dependent DNAzyme capped doxorubicin-loaded NMOFs are synthesized via the integration of the ATP aptamer sequence in the loop domain of the Mg2+-dependent DNAzyme. The unlocking of these NMOFs proceeds effectively only in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ ions, acting as cooperative triggers. As ATP is over-expressed in cancer cells, the "smart" carrier provides sense-and-treat functions. The "smart" ATP/Mg2+-triggered doxorubicin-loaded NMOFs reveal selective cytotoxicity toward MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. Beyond the use of the metal-ion-dependent DNAzymes as ion-responsive locks of drug-loaded NMOF carriers, the DNAzyme-capped fluorophore-loaded NMOFs are successfully applied as functional units for multiplexed ion-sensing and for the design of logic-gate systems.

Abstract
In this report, we present a mesoporous carbon nanosphere that can target drugs to tumors and image tumor biomarkers. A single-strand DNA (P0 aptamer) aptavalve was capped on the surface of doxorubicin-loaded oxide mesoporous carbon nanospheres (Dox-OMCN-P0) through π-π stacking for real-time imaging-guided on-demand targeting drug delivery. The Dox-OMCN-P0 could not only realize the detection of MUC1 tumor marker with a wide linear range (0.1 - 10.6 μmol/L) and a low detection limit (17.5 nmol) based on different apparatuses, but also achieve in-situ targeting imaging of cellular MUC1 concentration in vitro and in vivo via "off-on" fluorescence biosensing. Much attractively, as a real-time feedback of the diagnostic/imaging outcomes, Dox-OMCN-P0 accomplished the on-demand targeting drug delivery in quantitative response to MUC1. Controllable chemotherapy with sustained release and pH-sensitiveness, together with the potential photothermal therapy, were also clearly demonstrated. This is a simple but advanced platform, which could well achieve the real-time switchable imaging of cellular mucin for targeting cancer therapy.

Abstract
‘Communication' between abiotic nanoscale chemical systems is an almost-unexplored field with enormous potential. Here we show the design and preparation of a chemical communication system based on enzyme-powered Janus nanoparticles, which mimics an interactive model of communication. Cargo delivery from one nanoparticle is governed by the biunivocal communication with another nanoparticle, which involves two enzymatic processes and the interchange of chemical messengers. The conceptual idea of establishing communication between nanodevices opens the opportunity to develop complex nanoscale systems capable of sharing information and cooperating. In the interactive model of communication, information is exchanged bidirectionally between a sender and receiver. Here, the authors realise interactive communication between two artificial nanoparticles, which relay information between each other in the form of chemical messengers and enzymatic reactions.
