Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) offer many benefits in biotechnology because of their small size and unique properties. However, many applications require precise positioning of the NPs or biological targeting molecules on their surfaces. DNA cages constructed from DNA tile, origami, or wireframe nanostructures offer a promising path forward because of their simplicity and programmability that can be used to generate complex, dynamic 2D and 3D geometries. Such materials can be used to pattern DNA on NP surfaces and organize NPs into specific supramolecular structures. DNA-caged NPs can be implemented in biosensing and drug delivery applications with cavities precisely designed to encapsulate-specific biomolecules. Ultimately, such approaches provide a springboard for future DNA robot designs that will enable controlled interactions with biological systems.

Abstract
A variety of three-dimensional DNA assemblies have been proposed as drug carriers owing to their good biocompatibility and easy fabrication. In this study, inspired by the structure of cockleburs, a novel aptamer-tethered DNA assembly was developed for effective targeted drug delivery. The Apt-nanocockleburs were fabricated via a facile process of DNA base pairing: four complementary DNA single strands, including one aptamer-ended strand and three sticky-end strands, were applied to pair with each other. The main body of the nanocockleburs can load doxorubicin (Dox) whilst the covered aptamer spines bind to the target MCF-7 cells. The self-assembled Apt-nanocockleburs exhibit higher cell uptake as well as increased cytotoxicity to MCF-7 cells than DNA nanocockleburs without aptamers. This study provided a DNA constructing platform to produce new drug carriers with high selectivity for cancer targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
To advance anti-tumor efficiency and lessen the adverse effect caused by nanodrug residues in the body, a smart nanoagent system is developed and successfully used in intracellular ATP imaging and in vivo chemo-photothermal synergetic therapy. The nanoagent system is facilely prepared using a DNA complex to modify gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The DNA complex is formed by three oligonucleotides (ATP aptamer, rC-DNA, and rG-DNA). The CG-rich structure in a ternary DNA complex could be exploited for payload of chemotherapeutic medicine doxorubicin (DOX), thus making efficient DOX transport into the tumor site possible. In tumor cells, especially in acidic organelles (e.g., endosome and lysosome), DOX could be rapidly released via the dual stimuli of overexpressed ATP and pH. What is more, the specific recognition of a fluorescently labeled aptamer strand to ATP can achieve the intracellular ATP imaging. pH-controlled reversible folding and unfolding of intermolecular i-motif formed by C-rich strands can lead to intracellular in situ assembly of AuNP aggregates with high photothermal conversion efficiency and promote relatively facile renal clearance of AuNPs through the disassociation of the aggregates in extracellular environments. Experiments in vivo and vitro present feasibility for a synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy. Such an in situ reversible assembly strategy of a chemo-photothermal agent also presents a new paradigm for a smart and highly efficient disease treatment with reduced side effects.

Abstract
The renoprotective effects of hypoxia inducible-factor (HIF) activators have been demonstrated by improving renal hypoxia in chronic kidney disease. Cobalt chloride is one of the most widely used HIF activators in biomedicine; however, poor kidney targeting and undesirable side effects greatly limit its clinical applications. Here, we report a novel stimuli-responsive drug release nanoplatform in which glutathione (GSH)-modified Au nanoparticles (GLAuNPs) and Co2+ self-assemble into nanoassemblies (GLAuNPs-Co) through coordination interactions between empty orbitals of Co2+ and lone pairs of GSH. The GLAuNPs, when used as a drug carrier, demonstrated high drug loading capacity and pH-triggered drug release after assembling with Co2+. The acidic environment of lysosomes in renal fibrosis tissues could disassemble GLAuNPs-Co and release Co2+. Moreover, encapsulation of the Co2+ ions in the GLAuNPs greatly lowered the cytotoxicity of Co2+ in kidney tubule cells. Tissue fluorescence imaging showed that GLAuNPs-Co specifically accumulated in the kidneys, especially in the renal proximal tubules. After GLAuNPs-Co was intraperitoneally injected into ureter-obstructed mice, significant attenuation of interstitial fibrosis was exhibited. The beneficial effects can be mainly ascribed to miR-29c expression restored by HIF-α activation. These findings revealed that GLAuNPs-Co have pH-responsive drug release and renal targeting capabilities; thus, they are a promising drug delivery platform for treating kidney disease.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) decorated with thiol-modified DNA (HS-DNA) strands are an extensively studied, easily adjustable, and highly controllable material for constructing 3D nanostructures with various shapes and functions. However, few reproducible and robust methods involving DNA templates as a key reagent are available for obtaining 3D nanoparticle assemblies. It is still challenging to strictly control the number and location of DNA strands on the AuNP surface. Here, we introduce an efficient approach for the surface modification of AuNPs using unmodified DNA oligonucleotides by building DNA cages that trap the nanoparticles. This enables us to vary the process of nanostructure assembly and create anisotropic nanoparticles that are necessary for directed structure construction. This developed method simplifies the production process in comparison with conventional HS-DNA modification protocols and helps to precisely control the density and position of functional DNA strands designed for further hybridization with other AuNP conjugates.

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

Abstract
Doxorubicin is an effective and widely used cancer chemotherapeutic agent, but its application is greatly compromised by its cumulative dose-dependent side effect of cardiotoxicity. A gold nanoparticle-based drug delivery system has been designed to overcome this limitation. Five novel thiolated doxorubicin analogs were synthesized and their biological activities evaluated. Two of these analogs and PEG stabilizing ligands were then conjugated to gold nanoparticles, and the resulting Au-Dox constructs were evaluated. The results show that release of native drug can be achieved by the action of reducing agents such as glutathione or under acidic conditions, but reductive drug release gave the cleanest drug release. Gold nanoparticles (Au-Dox) were prepared with different loadings of PEG and doxorubicin, and one formulation was evaluated for mammalian stability and toxicity. Plasma levels of doxorubicin in mice treated with Au-Dox were significantly lower than in mice treated with the same amount of doxorubicin, indicating that the construct is stable under physiological conditions. Treatment of mice with Au-Dox gave no histopathologically observable differences from mice treated with saline, while mice treated with an equivalent dose of doxorubicin showed significant histopathologically observable lesions.

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

Abstract
Nanocages (NCs) have emerged as a new class of drug-carriers, with a wide range of possibilities in multi-modality medical treatments and theranostics. Nanocages can overcome such limitations as high toxicity caused by anti-cancer chemotherapy or by the nanocarrier itself, due to their unique characteristics. These properties consist of: (1) a high loading-capacity (spacious interior); (2) a porous structure (analogous to openings between the bars of the cage); (3) enabling smart release (a key to unlock the cage); and (4) a low likelihood of unfavorable immune responses (the outside of the cage is safe). In this review, we cover different classes of NC structures such as virus-like particles (VLPs), protein NCs, DNA NCs, supramolecular nanosystems, hybrid metal-organic NCs, gold NCs, carbon-based NCs and silica NCs. Moreover, NC-assisted drug delivery including modification methods, drug immobilization, active targeting, and stimulus-responsive release mechanisms are discussed, highlighting the advantages, disadvantages and challenges. Finally, translation of NCs into clinical applications, and an up-to-date assessment of the nanotoxicology considerations of NCs are presented.
