Abstract
Sensitive monitoring of luteinizing hormone (LH), a glycoprotein that regulates the synthesis of regulatory steroid hormones, can facilitate the diagnosis of various reproductive diseases. In this work, a new and highly catalytic Sulfur-doped and bimetal-coordinated CoFe(CN)5NO (denoted as S-CoFe(CN)5NO) nanoparticles are synthesized. Such material is further used to construct high performance sensing interface and coupled with primer exchange reaction (PER) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification cascades for sensitive electrochemical aptamer-based LH assay. Target LH molecules bind aptamer sequences in DNA duplex probes to liberate ssDNA strands, which initiate subsequent PER/HCR amplification cascades for the capture of many ferrocene (Fc)-tagged DNAs on sensing interface. S-CoFe(CN)5NO subsequently leads to catalytic oxidation of these Fc tags for yielding substantially magnified currents for realizing ultrasensitive assay of LH with the detection limit of 0.69 pM in range from 5 pM to 10 nM. Owing to the high specificity of aptamer, such sensor has high selectivity and can achieve low levels of LH assay in diluted serum samples. With the successful demonstration for detecting trace LH, such sensor can be easily extended as a universal aptamer-based electrochemical sensing method for monitoring various target analytes in the biomedical and biological fields.

Abstract
Biomolecule-functionalized nanoparticles represent a type of promising biomaterials in biomedical applications owing to their excellent biocompatibility and versatility. DNA-based reactions on nanoparticles have enabled emerging applications including intelligent biosensors, drug delivery, and biomimetic devices. Among the reactions, strand hybridization is the critical step to control the sensitivity and specificity of biosensing, and the efficiency of drug delivery. However, a comprehensive understanding of DNA hybridization on nanoparticles is still lacking, which may differ from the process in homogeneous solutions. To address this limitation, coarse-grained model-based molecular dynamic simulation is harnessed to disclose the critical factors involved in intermolecular hybridization. Based on simulation guidance, DNA walker-based smart theranostic platform (DWTP) based on "on-particle" hybridization is developed, showing excellent consistency with simulation. DWTP is successfully applied for highly sensitive miRNA 21 detection and tumor-specific miRNA 21 imaging, driven by tumor-endogenous APE 1 enzyme. It enables the precise release of antisense oligonucleotide triggered by tumor-endogenous dual-switch miRNA 21 and APE 1, facilitating effective gene silencing therapy with high biosafety. The simulation of "on-particle" DNA hybridization has improved the corresponding biosensing performance and the release efficiency of therapeutic agents, representing a conceptually new approach for DNA-based device design.

Abstract
Bacteria extracellular vesicles (BEVs), characterized as the lipid bilayer membrane-surrounded nanoparticles filled with molecular cargo from parent cells, play fundamental roles in the bacteria growth and pathogenesis, as well as facilitating essential interaction between bacteria and host systems. Notably, benefiting from their unique biological functions, BEVs hold great promise as novel nanopharmaceuticals for diverse biomedical potential, attracting significant interest from both industry and academia. Typically, BEVs are evaluated as promising drug delivery platforms, on account of their intrinsic cell-targeting capability, ease of versatile cargo engineering, and capability to penetrate physiological barriers. Moreover, attributing to considerable intrinsic immunogenicity, BEVs are able to interact with the host immune system to boost immunotherapy as the novel nanovaccine against a wide range of diseases. Towards these significant directions, in this review, we elucidate the nature of BEVs and their role in activating host immune response for a better understanding of BEV-based nanopharmaceuticals' development. Additionally, we also systematically summarize recent advances in BEVs for achieving the target delivery of genetic material, therapeutic agents, and functional materials. Furthermore, vaccination strategies using BEVs are carefully covered, illustrating their flexible therapeutic potential in combating bacterial infections, viral infections, and cancer. Finally, the current hurdles and further outlook of these BEV-based nanopharmaceuticals will also be provided.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA), one of the most promising biomarkers, plays crucial roles in cancer diagnosis. However, the low expression level of miRNA makes it extremely urgent to develop ultrasensitive and highly selective strategies for quantification of miRNA. Herein, a DNA machine is rationally constructed for amplified detection and imaging of low-abundance miRNA in living cells based on the toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TMSDR). The isothermal and enzyme-free DNA machine with low background leakage is fabricated by integrating two DNA circuits into a cascade system, in which the output of one circuit serves as the input of the other one. Once the DNA machine is transfected into breast cancer cells, the overexpressed miRNA-203 initiates the first-layer circuit through TMSDR, leading to the concentration variation of fuel strands, which further influences the assembly of hairpin DNA in the second-layer circuit and the occurrence of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for fluorescence imaging. Benefiting from the cascade of the two-layer amplification reaction, the proposed DNA machine acquires a detection limit down to 4 fM for quantification of miR-203 and a 10 000-fold improvement in amplification efficiency over the single circuit. Therefore, the two-layer circuit cascade-based DNA machine provides an effective platform for amplified analysis of low-abundance miRNA with high sensitivity, which holds great promise in biomedical and clinical research.

Abstract
Nanomaterials possess unusual physicochemical properties including unique optical, magnetic, electronic properties, and large surface-to-volume ratio. However, nanomaterials face some challenges when they were applied in the field of biomedicine. For example, some nanomaterials suffer from the limitations such as poor selectivity and biocompatibility, low stability, and solubility. To address the above-mentioned obstacles, functional nucleic acid has been widely served as a powerful and versatile ligand for modifying nanomaterials because of their unique characteristics, such as ease of modification, excellent biocompatibility, high stability, predictable intermolecular interaction and recognition ability. The functionally integrating functional nucleic acid with nanomaterials has produced various kinds of nanocomposites and recent advances in applications of functional nucleic acid decorated nanomaterials for cancer imaging and therapy were summarized in this review. Further, we offer an insight into the future challenges and perspectives of functional nucleic acid decorated nanomaterials.

Abstract
Metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with breast cancer. Detecting high-risk breast cancer, including micrometastasis, at an early stage is vital for customizing the right and efficient therapies. In this study, we propose an enzyme-free isothermal cascade amplification-based DNA logic circuit in situ biomineralization nanosensor, HDNAzyme@ZIF-8, for simultaneous imaging of multidimensional biomarkers in live cells. Taking miR-21 and Ki-67 mRNA as the dual detection targets achieved sensitive logic operations and molecular recognition through the cascade hybridization chain reaction and DNAzyme. The HDNAzyme@ZIF-8 nanosensor has the ability to accurately differentiate breast cancer cells and their subtypes by comparing their relative fluorescence intensities. Of note, our nanosensor can also achieve visualization within breast cancer organoids, faithfully recapitulating the functional characteristics of parental tumor. Overall, the combination of these techniques offers a universal strategy for detecting cancers with high sensitivity and holds vast potential in clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The capacity to identify small amounts of pathogens in real samples is extremely useful. Herein, we proposed a sensitive platform for detecting pathogens using cyclic DNA nanostructure@AuNP tags (CDNA) and a cascade primer exchange reaction (cPER). This platform employs wheat germ agglutinin-modified Fe3O4@Au magnetic nanoparticles (WMRs) to bind the E. coli O157:H7, and then triggers the cPER to generate branched DNA products for CDNA tag hybridization with high stability and amplified SERS signals. It can identify target pathogens as low as 1.91 CFU/mL and discriminate E. coli O157:H7 in complex samples such as water, milk, and serum, demonstrating comparable or greater sensitivity and accuracy than traditional qPCR. Moreover, the developed platform can detect low levels of E. coli O157:H7 in mouse serum, allowing the discrimination of mice with early-stage infection. Thus, this platform holds promise for food analysis and early infection diagnosis.

Abstract
It is of great interest and necessity to develop a nonenzymatic, simple but highly sensitive biosensor for early diagnosis of oral cancer. Present here is an electrochemical DNA biosensor which integrates a target-triggered, entropy-driven, nonenzymatic and isothermal amplification strategy with gold nanoparticles/zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (AuNPs@ZIF-8) nanocomposites for ultra-sensitive detection of oral cancer-related biomarker (ORAOV 1) in saliva. It is worth noting that the nuclease is not involved in the whole reaction process, which is simple and flexible in design only using a series of linear single-stranded DNA, avoiding undesired secondary structure interference. Meanwhile, due to the synergistic effect of AuNPs and ZIF-8, AuNPs@ZIF-8 nanocomposites display high stability, excellent electrical conductivity and exceptional electrocatalytic activity, further enhancing the electrochemical signal and avoiding labeling electrochemical signal probes. Experimental results demonstrate that this electrochemical DNA biosensor has a wide linear range (1 fM ∼1 nM), a low limit of detection (163 aM), excellent specificity, superior reproducibility and stability to ORAOV 1. More importantly, the actual application of the newly developed electrochemical biosensor is exemplified in human saliva with satisfactory recoveries. Therefore, the newly developed electrochemical biosensor has a broad application prospect in the nondestructive and early screening of oral cancer.

Abstract
Early disease diagnosis relies on the sensitive detection and imaging of biomarkers. Signal amplification is one of the most commonly used methods to improve detection sensitivity. Primer exchange reaction (PER) is a novel signal amplification technique that has garnered attention because of its simple and sensitive features. The classical PER involves a single catalytic hairpin, which enables the attachment of custom sequences to the primer chain, generating a long repeat sequence that can bind numerous signaling molecules and achieve powerful signal amplification. Currently, numerous PER-based signal amplification strategies are available that can improve detection sensitivity and promote the development of the signal amplification field. This review focuses on the mechanism of typical PER, the diversification of PER, and PER-based biosensors for various targets. Finally, the challenges and prospects of PER development are discussed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received extensive attention in tumor therapy because of their advantages, including large specific surface area, regular pore size, adjustable shape, and facile functionalization. MOFs are porous materials formed by the coordination bonding of metal clusters and organic ligands. This review summarized the most recent advancements in tumor treatment based on nMOFs. First, we discuss the classification of MOFs, which primarily include the series of isoreticular MOF (IRMOF), zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), coordination pillared-layer (CPL), Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MIL), porous coordination network (PCN), University of Oslo (UiO) and Biological metal-organic frameworks (BioMOFs). Then, we discuss the use of nMOFs in antitumor therapy, including drug delivery strategies, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and combination therapy.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are closely associated with human disease occurrence, including cancers, diabetes, inflammation, heart diseases, and viral infections, and their rapid and accurate detection is vital for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Based on one-step reaction of strand displacement amplification (SDA) and primer exchange reaction (PER), a label-free and highly sensitive miRNA-21 detection strategy was developed. In this strategy, the target miRNA-21 binds directly to the hairpin template, triggering the SDA reaction and generating a large number of single strand DNAs as primers for PER amplification. With the help of polymerase, plenty of G-quadruplex fragments of different lengths were accumulated, and the organic dye thioflavin T selectively binds to these G-quadruplex fragments to produce a strong fluorescent signal. There is a wide detection range in this method, miRNA-21 can be detected in the range of 10 fM - 1 nM, the detection limit is low (1.25 fM). This method has good specificity and can effectively distinguish single-base mismatches of miRNA. In addition, the versatility of the method was validated by changing the target recognition site of SDA template.

Abstract
DNA logic circuits (DLC) enable the accurate identification of specific cell types, such as cancer cells, but they face the challenges of weak output signals and a lack of competent platforms that can efficiently deliver DLC components to the target site in the living body. To address these issues, we rationally introduced a cascaded biological amplifier module based on the Primer Exchange Reaction inspired by electronic circuit amplifier devices. As a paradigm, three abnormally expressed Hela cell microRNAs (-30a, -17, and -21) were chosen as "AND" gate inputs. DLC response to these inputs was boosted by the amplifier markedly enhancing the output signal. More importantly, the encapsulation of DLC and amplifier components into ZIF-8 nanoparticles resulted in their efficient delivery to the target site, successfully distinguishing the Hela tumor subtype from other tumors in vivo. Thus, we envision that this strategy has great potential for clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) play pivotal roles in regulating gene expression, and serve as crucial biomarkers for diagnosis of a variety of disease. However, label-free and sensitive miRNA detection remains a huge challenge due to the low abundance. Herein, we developed an approach through integrating primer exchange reaction (PER) with DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) for label-free and sensitive miRNA detection. In this method, PER was used to amplify miRNA signals and produce single-strand DNA (ssDNA) sequences. The produced ssDNA sequences mediated DNA-templated AgNCs based signal generation by unfolding the designed hairpin probe (HP). The generated AgNCs signal was correlated with the dosage of target miRNA. Eventually, the established approach exhibited a low detection of limit of 47 fM with a great dynamic range of more than five orders of magnitude. In addition, the method was also utilized to detect the miRNA-31 expression in collected clinical samples from pancreatitis patients and demonstrated that miRNA-31 was upregulated in patients, showing a great promising of the method in clinical application.

Abstract
Recently, there has been high interest in developing metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles (NPs) for delivering therapeutic proteins, propelled mainly by the unique hierarchical porous structures of MOFs for protein encapsulation. Novel design strategies have emerged for broad therapeutic applications and clinical translations, leading to multifunctional MOF-NPs with improved biointerfacing capabilities and higher potency. This review summarizes recent MOF-NP designs specifically for protein delivery. The summary focuses on four design categories, including environment-responsive MOF-NPs for on-demand protein delivery, cell membrane-coated MOF-NPs for biomimetic protein delivery, cascade reaction-incorporated MOF-NPs for combinatorial protein delivery, and composite MOF-NPs for intelligent protein delivery. The major challenges and opportunities in using MOF-NPs for protein delivery are also discussed. Overall, this review will promote designs of MOF-NPs with unique properties to address unmet medical needs.

Abstract
Accurate detection of cancer-associated mRNAs is beneficial to early diagnosis and potential treatment of cancer. Herein, for the first time, we developed a novel CRISPR/Cas12a-powered electrochemical/fluorescent (EC/FL) dual-mode controlled-release homogeneous biosensor for mRNA detection. A functionalized ssDNA P2-capped Fe3O4-NH2 loaded with methylene blue (P2@MB-Fe3O4-NH2) was synthesized as the signal probe, while survivin mRNA was chosen as the target RNA. In the presence of the target mRNA, the nicking endonuclease-mediated rolling circle amplification (NEM-RCA) was triggered to produce significant amounts of ssDNA, activating the collateral activity of Cas12a toward the surrounding single-stranded DNA. Thus, the ssDNA P1 completely complementary to ssDNA P2 was cleaved, resulting in that the ssDNA P2 bio-gate on Fe3O4-NH2 could not be opened due to electrostatic interactions. As a result, there was no or only a little MB in the supernatant after magnetic separation, and the measured EC/FL signal was exceedingly weak. On the contrary, the ssDNA P2 bio-gate was opened, enabling MB to be released into the supernatant, and generating an obvious EC/FL signal. Benefiting from the accuracy of EC/FL dual-mode cross-verification, high amplification efficiency, high specificity of NEM-RCA and CRISPR/Cas12a, and high loading of mesoporous Fe3O4-NH2 on signal molecules, the strategy shows aM-level sensitivity and single-base mismatch specificity. More importantly, the practical applicability of this dual-mode strategy was confirmed by mRNA quantification in complex serum environments and tumor cell lysates, providing a new way for developing a powerful disease diagnosis tool.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from tumors contain a vast amount of cellular information and are regarded as a potential diagnostic biomarker for noninvasive cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to accurately measure sEVs from clinical samples due to the low abundance of these vesicles as well as their phenotypic heterogeneity. Herein, a polymerase-driven logic signal amplification system (PLSAS) was developed for the high-sensitivity detection of sEV surface proteins and breast cancer (BC) identification. Aptamers were introduced to serve as sensing modules to specifically recognize target proteins. By changing the input DNA sequences, two polymerase-driven primer exchange reaction systems were rationally designed for DNA logic computing. This allows for autonomous targeting of a limited number of targets using "OR" and "AND" logic, leading to a significant increase in fluorescence signals and enabling the specific and ultrasensitive detection of sEV surface proteins. In this work, we investigated surface proteins of mucin 1 (MUC1) and the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) as model proteins. When MUC1 or EpCAM proteins were used as single signal input in the "OR" DNA logic system, the detection limit of sEVs was 24 or 58 particles/μL, respectively. And MUC1 and EpCAM proteins of sEVs can be simultaneously detected in the AND logic method, which can significantly reduce the effect of phenotypic heterogeneity of sEVs to distinguish the source of sEVs derived from various mammary cell lines, such as MCF-7, MDA MB 231, SKBR3, and MCF-10A. The approach has achieved high discrimination in serologically tested positive BC samples (AUC 98.1%) and holds significant potential in advancing the early diagnosis and prognostic assessments of BC.

Abstract
Fabrication of ingenious nanomedicines to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-brain-tumor barrier (BBTB) for efficient glioblastoma (GBM) therapy remains a big challenge. In this work, macrophage-cancer hybrid membrane-camouflaged nanoplatforms were fabricated for target gene silencing-enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of GBM. The J774.A.1 macrophage cell membrane and the U87 glioblastoma cell membrane were fused to create a hybrid biomembrane (JUM) with good BBB penetration and glioblastoma targeting capability for camouflaging. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles were synthesized for indocyanine green (ICG) and HIF-1α siRNA encapsulation (ICG-siRNA@ZIF-8, ISZ) with a high loading efficiency. After accumulation in the tumor sites, the pH sensitivity of the nanoplatform enabled release of ICG and HIF-1α siRNA in the tumor cells. Then, the expression of HIF-1α could be efficiently inhibited by the released HIF-1α siRNA to increase the SDT efficiency under hypoxic conditions. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that ISZ@JUM showed good BBB penetration and brain tumor-targeting capability and could achieve effective gene silencing-enhanced SDT, demonstrating great promise for clinical applications.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a powerful cancer treatment strategy by producing excessive amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. However, the inadequate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) supply and antioxidant defense systems in tumor tissue significantly impair the therapeutic effect of CDT, hindering its further applications. Herein, we present an intelligent nanoplatform with H2O2 homeostasis disruption and oxidative stress amplification properties for enhanced CDT. This nanoplatform is obtained by encapsulating glucose oxidase (GOx) in a pH- and glutathione (GSH)-responsive degradable copper doped-zeolitic imidazolate framework (Cu-ZIF8), followed by loading of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3AT) and modification of hyaluronic acid (HA) for tumor targeting delivery. The GOx@Cu-ZIF8-3AT@HA not only reduces energy supply and increases H2O2 level by exhausting intratumoral glucose, but also disturbs tumor antioxidant defense systems by inhibiting the activity of catalase and depleting intracellular GSH, resulting in disrupted H2O2 homeostasis in tumor. Moreover, the elevated H2O2 will transform into highly toxic •OH by Cu+ that generated from redox reaction between Cu2+ and GSH, amplifying the oxidative stress to enhance the CDT efficacy. Consequently, GOx@Cu-ZIF8-3AT@HA has significantly inhibited the 4T1 xenograft tumor growth without discernible side effects, which provides a promising strategy for cancer management. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The inadequate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) level and antioxidant defense system in tumor tissues significantly impair the therapeutic effect of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Herein, we developed an intelligent nanoplatform with H2O2 homeostasis disruption and oxidative stress amplification properties for enhanced CDT. In this nanoplatform, glucose oxidase (GOx) could exhaust intratumoral glucose to reduce energy supply accompanied with production of H2O2, while the suppression of catalase activity by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3AT) and depletion of glutathione by Cu2+ would weaken the antioxidant defense system of tumors. Ultimately, the raised H2O2 level would convert to highly toxic hydroxyl radical (•OH) by Fenton-like reaction, amplifying the CDT efficacy. This work provides a promising strategy for cancer management.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a distinctive funtionalmaterials which is constructed by various metal ions and organic molecules, have gradually attracted researchers' attention from they were founded. In the last decade, MOFs emerge as a biomedical material with potential applications due to their unique properties. However, the MOFs performed as nanocarriers for functional nucleic acid delivery in biomedical applications rarely summarized. In this review, we introduce recent developments of MOFs for nucleic acid delivery in various biologically relevant applications, with special emphasis on cancer therapy (including siRNA, ASO, DNAzyme, miRNA and CpG oligodeoxynucleotides), bioimaging, biosensors and separation of biomolecules. We expect the accomplishment of this review could benefit certain researchers in biomedical field to develop novel sophisticated nanocarriers for functional nucleic acid delivery based on the promising material of MOFs.

Abstract
DNA as an exceptional data storage medium offers high information density. However, DNA storage requires specialized equipment and tightly controlled environments for storage. Fast encapsulation within minutes for enhanced DNA stability to do away with specialized equipment and fast DNA extraction remain a challenge. Here, we report a DNA microlibrary that can be encapsulated by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) within 10 min and extracted (5 min) in a single microfluidic chip for automated and integrated DNA-based data storage. The DNA microlibrary@MOFs enhances the stability of data-encoded DNA against harsh environments. The encoded information can be read out perfectly after accelerated aging, equivalent to being readable after 10 years of storage at 25 °C, 50% relative humidity, and 10 000 lx sunlight radiation. Moreover, the library enables fast retrieval of target data via flow cytometry and can be reproduced after each access.

Abstract
Bacteria-infected skin wounds caused by external injuries remain a serious challenge to the whole society. Wound healing dressings, with excellent antibacterial activities and potent regeneration capability, are increasingly needed clinically. Here, we reported a novel functional microneedle (MN) array comprising methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) embedded with pH-responsive functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles to treat bacteria-infected cutaneous wounds. Antibacterial activity was introduced into Zn-ZIF-8 to achieve sterilization through releasing Zn ions, as well as increased angiogenesis by dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) molecules that were distributed within its framework. Furthermore, biodegradable MeHA was chosen as a substrate material carrier to fabricate DMOG@ZIF-8 MN arrays. By such design, DMOG@ZIF-8 MN arrays would not only exhibit excellent antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria but also enhance angiogenesis within wound bed by upregulating the expression of HIF-1α, leading to a significant therapeutic efficiency on bacteria-infected cutaneous wound healing. Based on these results, we conclude that this new treatment strategy can provide a promising alternative for accelerating infected wound healing via effective antibacterial activity and ameliorative angiogenesis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based optical nanoprobes for luminescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications have been receiving tremendous attention. Every element in the MOF structure, including the metal nodes, the organic linkers, and the guest molecules, can be used as a source to build single/multi-emission signals for the intended analytical purposes. For SERS applications, the MOF can not only be used directly as a SERS substrate, but can also improve the stability and reproducibility of the metal-based substrates. Additionally, the porosity and large specific surface area give MOF a sieving effect and target molecule enrichment ability, both of which are helpful for improving detection selectivity and sensitivity. This mini-review summarizes the advances of MOF-based optical detection methods, including luminescence and SERS, and also provides perspectives on future efforts.

Abstract
Sensitive and reliable detection of the p53 gene plays a significant role in precise cancer targeting and in fundamental research. However, the sensitivity of existing p53 gene detection approaches remains to be improved. Herein, we develop a target recognition assisted-primer exchange reaction (Ta-PER) for sensitive analysis of the p53 gene. Ta-PER was initiated by the recognition of a designed dumbbell structure probe by the p53 gene. In Ta-PER, the primer exchange reaction (PER) was combined with molecular beacon-based chain recycling to construct the signal amplification process. Through integrating target recognition with PER-based signal amplification, Ta-PER was established and exhibited a high detection sensitivity, with a limit of detection as low as 56 fM. In addition, the approach was also used to detect the p53 gene in normal HeLa cells and amatoxin-treated HeLa cells. The high level of the p53 gene in amatoxin-treated HeLa cells, which was approximately 1.67 times higher than that in HeLa cell extract, indicated the apoptosis of cells and suggested the promising prospect of the approach.

Abstract
Abnormal microRNA (miRNA) expression levels are confirmed as diagnostic biomarkers of the emergence and development of diseases. In this study, we developed a fluorescence biosensor for detecting miRNAs based on double amplification reactions with the primer exchange reaction (PER) and CRISPR/Cas12a. In the absence of target miRNA-21, PER hairpins remained locked by the protector strands and the primers did not extend. In the presence of target miRNA-21, the miRNA-21 bound to the guard sequence and exposed primer binding sites. Also, the closed PER hairpin was unlocked to specifically extend primers into single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of unequal lengths. These ssDNAs of unequal lengths could activate the cleavage of a reporter by Cas12a, leading to an increase in detectable fluorescence signals. A large number of short nucleic acid fragments were amplified by PER-CRISPR multiple cycle cleavage fluorescent probes. Based on PER-combined CRISPR/Cas12a established dual signal amplification method was characterized by a low limit of detection of 10fM. The fluorescent biosensor for miRNA detection had the advantages of low detection cost, simple operation, and mobility, providing a very promising platform for the point-of-care testing of miRNA-21.

Abstract
Specific and sensitive microRNAs (miRNAs) detection is essential to early cancer diagnosis. The development of these technologies including functional nuclease-mediated target amplification and DNA nanotechnology possesses tremendous potential for the high-performance detection of miRNAs in the accurate diagnosis of disease. In this study, we have established an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor by combining nicking endonuclease-assisted primer exchange reaction (PER) cascade amplification with a DNA nanosphere (DNS)-mediated electrochemical signal-enhanced system for the detection of miRNA-21 (miR-21). The cascade amplification is initiated by a nicking endonuclease that can cleave specific DNA substrates and highly amplify translation of the target to single-stranded DNA fragments (sDNA). Then, the PER cascade is powered by strand-displacing polymerase and generates a large amount of nascent single-stranded connector DNA (cDNA) via sDNA triggering of the dumbbell probe (DP), thus achieving the cascade amplification of the target. Finally, the DNS loaded with plenty of electroactive substances can be captured on the electrode via cDNA for further enhancing the electrochemical signal and highly sensitive detection of miR-21. The proposed electrochemical biosensor exhibits a wide detection range of 1 aM to 0.1 nM and a low detection limit of 0.58 aM. The excellent selectivity allows the biosensor to discriminate miR-21 from other miRNAs, even the one base-mismatched sequence. Moreover, the practicability of the biosensor is investigated by analyzing miR-21 in human serum and cancer cell lysate. Therefore, our proposed nicking endonuclease-assisted PER cascade amplification strategy provides a powerful platform for the early detection of miRNA-related disease and molecular diagnosis.

Abstract
AbstractSensitive quantification of microRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and precise therapy of osteosarcoma. Herein, we build a label-free and sensitive miRNA quantification approach based on the activation of split-DNAzyme initiated primer exchange reaction (PER). Target miRNA cooperates the activation of split-DNAzyme with Mg2+ through assisting the assembly of DNAzyme to correct conformation, which enables the performance of PER-based nucleic acids amplification to produce a large amount of single-strand DNA (ssDNA) sequences. The G-quadruplexes (G4) in ssDNA sequences products bind with N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) to form G4-NMM complex with the enhanced fluorescence respond. The results demonstrate that miRNA-21 can assist the activation of split-DNAzyme, and the active DNAzyme exhibits a high specificity and efficiency in inducing the subsequent PER. Based on the split-DNAzyme-assisted signal recycle and PER, the method eventually shows a high sensitivity and selectivity, providing a promising prospect for the for early stage tumor diagnosis and more precise tumor therapy.

Abstract
Programmed-death ligand 1 (PD-L1), as one of major immune checkpoints, is highly expressed on cancer cells and participates in the immune escape process of tumor cells. The level of PD-L1 in patients is closely related to the efficacy of anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy, and patients with a high level have better response to immunotherapy. Therefore, PD-L1 can be an indicator of patient classification and medication guidance. In this work, we have developed a novel strategy for detecting PD-L1-positive circulating tumor cells based on steric hindrance generated after cell capture, using the primer exchange reaction (PER) amplification method. The principle is to modify a single strand containing the PD-L1 aptamer and the PER primer on the electrode surface. When PD-L1-positive circulating tumor cells exist, the aptamer will capture them. The steric hindrance generated by the captured cells due to their large volume hinders the subsequent approach of PER materials, thus hindering the occurrence of PER signal amplification. The number of HRP bound to the electrode surface is reduced, and the current signal output is inversely proportional to the number of captured cells. This method realizes convenient and sensitive detection of PD-L1-positive tumor cells and provides a new means for clinical judgment of whether patients should adopt immunotherapy.

pH-activated DNA nanomachine for miRNA-21 imaging to accurately identify cancer cell. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:266.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) imaging has been employed to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells by exploiting the overexpression of miRNA in cancer. Inspired by the acidic extracellular tumor microenvironment, we designed a pH-activated DNA nanomachine to enable the specific detection of cancer cells using miRNA imaging. The DNA nanomachine was engineered by assembling two hairpins (Y1 and Y2) onto the surface of a ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF), which decomposed under acidic conditions to release the adsorbed DNA hairpin molecules in situ. The released hairpins were captured by the target miRNA-21 and underwent catalytic hairpin assembly amplification between Y1 and Y2. The detection limit for miRNA assays using the DNA nanomachine was determined to be 27 pM, which is low enough for sensitive detection in living cells. Living cell imaging of miRNA-21 further corroborated the application of the DNA nanomachine in the identification of cancer cell.

Abstract
Nanobioconjugates are nanoscale drug delivery vehicles that have been conjugated to or decorated with biologically active targeting ligands. These targeting ligands can be antibodies, peptides, aptamers, or small molecules such as vitamins or hormones. Most research studies in this field have been devoted to targeting cancer. Moreover, the nanostructures can be designed with an additional level of targeting by being designed to be stimulus-responsive or "smart" by a judicious choice of materials to be incorporated into the hybrid nanostructures. This stimulus could be an acidic pH, raised temperature, enzyme, ultrasound, redox potential, an externally applied magnetic field, or laser irradiation. In this case, the smart capability can increase the accumulation at the tumor site or the on-demand drug release, while the ligand ensures selective binding to the tumor cells. The present review highlights some interesting studies classified according to the nanostructure material. These materials include natural substances (polysaccharides), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (and halloysite nanotubes), metal-organic frameworks and covalent-organic frameworks, metal nanoparticles (gold and silver), and polymeric micelles.

Abstract
Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have attracted extensive attention as drug nanocarriers because of their excellent cellular uptake. However, for oligonucleotide cargos, tFNA mainly acts as a static delivery platform generated via sticky-ended ligation. Here, inspired by the original stable space inside the tetrahedral scaffold, a dynamic lysosome-activated tFNA nanobox is fabricated for completely encapsulating a short interfering RNA (siRNA) of interest. The closed tetrahedral structure endows cargo siRNA with greater resistance against RNase and serum and enables solid integration with the vehicle during delivery. Moreover, the pH-responsive switch of nanobox allows the controlled release of siRNA upon entry into lysosomes at cell culture temperature. Based on protective loading and active unloading, an excellent silencing effect on the target tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) gene is achieved in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Conclusively, the nanobox offers a dynamic pH-sensitive confinement delivery system for siRNA and can be an extendable strategy for other small RNA.

Abstract
Primer exchange reaction (PER) is an emergent method for non-templated synthesis of single stranded DNA molecules. PER has been shown to be effective in cell imaging systems and for detection of macromolecules. A particular application of PER is to detect a specific target nucleic acid. To this endeavor, two coupled DNA hairpins, a detector and an amplifier, play in accordance to extend a target nucleic acid with a concatemer DNA sequence. Here we introduced unified-amplifier based primer exchange reaction (UniAmPER) that beneficially extends the target by a unified-amplifier. The unified-amplifier operates as both detector and amplifier hairpins. The extension resulted in synthesis of concatemer G-rich sequences. The G-rich sequences were expected to form G-quadruplex (GQ) structures. Presence of the GQ structures were investigated by peroxidase activity of GQs in presence of hemin, H2°2 and 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as well as by fluorescence signal generation upon intercalation of thioflavin T (ThT). The presented unified-amplifier in this study facilitates application of PER systems for development of colorimetric or fluorogenic biosensors. As a proof of principle, the method has been applied for detection of reversely transcribed cDNAs from clinical SARS-CoV-2 samples.

Abstract
Investigating multiple miRNA expression patterns in living cells by DNA logic biocomputing is a valuable strategy for diagnosis and biomedical studies. The introduction of protein enzymes in DNA logic biocomputing circuits not only expands the toolbox of nucleic acid assembly techniques, but also further improves the specificity of recognizing and processing of DNA input. Herein, a polymerase-driven primer exchange reaction, acting as the sensing module, is introduced into the biocomputing system and transduces the multiple miRNAs sensing event into the intermediate triggers for activating the subsequent processing module, which further performs signal readout through DNAzyme catalytic substrate cleavage reaction. By using biomineralized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) to deliver all the components of the biocomputing system, including polymerase and DNA probes, we realized polymerase-driven DNA biocomputing operations in living cells, including AND and OR gates. The results exhibited that biomineralized ZIF-8 NPs can protect the loaded cargoes against the external environment and deliver them efficiently to the cytoplasm. The polymerase-driven DNA biocomputing system based on multiple miRNAs sensing can be used for reliable cell identification and may provide a promising platform for more accurate diagnosis and programmable therapeutics.

Abstract
The unrestrained use of antibiotics accelerates the development of drug-resistant bacteria and leads to an increasing threat to human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore novel and effective strategies for the treatment of bacterial infections. Herein, zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) material was utilized to construct biomineralized nanomaterial (GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO) by encapsulating biological cascade enzymes and combining with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), which achieved effective and synergistic antidrug-resistant bacteria therapy. Various in vitro assays confirmed that GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO exhibited excellent antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) during catalysis of glucose (Glu), especially the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against MRSA was only 16 μg/mL. Compared with simple ZIF-8 (32.85%) and ftsZ ASO (58.65%), GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO+Glu exhibited superb biofilm destruction ability, and the bacteria removal efficiency of the MRSA biofilm could be as high as 88.2%, indicating that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the cascade enzyme reaction imparted the main synergistic antibacterial capability, and simultaneously, ftsZ ASO significantly enhanced the antibacterial effect by inhibiting the expression of the ftsZ gene. In vivo anti-infection treatment experiments revealed that GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO exhibited the best wound repairing performance and excellent biocompatibility in the presence of Glu. These findings suggested that GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO has favorably realized high-efficiency treatment of MRSA infection and filled the gap in the antibacterial application of biological enzymes.

Abstract
Therapeutic oligonucleotides (TOs) represent one of the most promising drug candidates in the targeted cancer treatment due to their high specificity and capability of modulating cellular pathways that are not readily druggable. However, efficiently delivering of TOs to cancer cellular targets is still the biggest challenge in promoting their clinical translations. Emerging as a significant drug delivery vector, nanoparticles (NPs) can not only protect TOs from nuclease degradation and enhance their tumor accumulation, but also can improve the cell uptake efficiency of TOs as well as the following endosomal escape to increase the therapeutic index. Furthermore, targeted and on-demand drug release of TOs can also be approached to minimize the risk of toxicity towards normal tissues using stimuli-responsive NPs. In the past decades, remarkable progresses have been made on the TOs delivery based on various NPs with specific purposes. In this review, we will first give a brief introduction on the basis of TOs as well as the action mechanisms of several typical TOs, and then describe the obstacles that prevent the clinical translation of TOs, followed by a comprehensive overview of the recent progresses on TOs delivery based on several various types of nanocarriers containing lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, porous nanoparticles, DNA/RNA nanoassembly, extracellular vesicles, and imaging-guided drug delivery nanoparticles.

Abstract
A highly loaded and integrated core–brush three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanostructure is constructed by programmatically assembling a locked DNA walking arm (DA) and hairpin substrate (HS) into a repetitive array along a well-designed DNA track generated by rolling circle amplification (RCA) and is applied as a 3D DNA nanomachine for rapid and sensitive intracellular microRNA (miRNA) imaging and sensing. Impressively, the homogeneous distribution of the DA and HS at a ratio of 1 : 3 on the DNA track provides a specific walking range for the DA to avoid invalid and random self-walking and notably improve the executive ability of the core–brush 3D DNA nanomachine, which easily solves the major technical challenges of traditional Au-based 3D DNA nanomachines: low loading capacity and low executive efficiency. As a proof of concept, the interaction of miRNA with the 3D DNA nanomachine could initiate the autonomous and progressive operation of the DA to cleave the HS for ultrasensitive ECL detection of target miRNA-21 with a detection limit as low as 3.57 aM and rapid imaging in living cells within 15 min. Therefore, the proposed core–brush 3D DNA nanomachine could not only provide convincing evidence for sensitive detection and rapid visual imaging of biomarkers with tiny change, but also assist researchers in investigating the formation mechanism of tumors, improving their recovery rates and reducing correlative complications. This strategy might enrich the method to design a new generation of 3D DNA nanomachine and promote the development of clinical diagnosis, targeted therapy and prognosis monitoring. This study designed a highly loaded and integrated core–brush 3D DNA nanomachine for miRNA imaging and sensing, which easily solves the major technical challenges of traditional Au-based 3D nanomachines: low loading capacity and low executive efficiency.![]()

Abstract
Developments in framework nucleic acids (FNAs) are limited by complicated synthesis, by-product interference, and low framework utilization. Herein, simple core-shell spherical 3D FNAs (ST-SFNAs) preparation is presented based on siRNA-templated linear polymerization followed by hybridization chain reaction branched polymerization. Without by-products, all components exhibited their special functions to obtain high space utilization of ST-SFNAs. ST-SFNAs were covered by catalase and folic acid-functionalized liposome membranes. The catalase endowed ST-SFNAs with chemotactic activities in the H2O2 reaction catalyzed by catalase. Furthermore, combined with functionalized folic acids' targeting folate receptors, the synergistic chemotactic recognition of cancer cells was obtained. This dramatically promoted targeted cellular uptakes compared with traditional active or passive targeting pathways. Subsequently, the cascaded-logical programmable release of drugs was precisely controlled by targeting glutathione and ATP (via S-S bond and ATP aptamer on the inner g-DNA cover). This was visualized by "turn on" fluorescent signals generated by special hybridization of released hairpin DNAs with survivin mRNA biomarkers. Simultaneously, biocompatible synergistic therapy was achieved by simultaneously releasing doxorubicin and siRNA. With its high utilization for synergistic chemotactic recognition, programmable and visualized delivery, as well as synergistic therapy, an efficient platform for maximizing the therapeutic efficacy has been developed. This would initiate further FNA-based material development for a variety of biological applications.

Abstract
Biomacromolecular drugs have become an important class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of human diseases. Considering their high propensity for being degraded in the human body, the choice of an appropriate delivery system is key to ensure the therapeutic efficacy of biomacromolecular drugs in vivo. As an emerging class of supramolecular "host" materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit advantages in terms of the tunability of pore size, encapsulation efficiency, controllable drug release, simplicity in surface functionalization and good biocompatibility. As a result, MOF-based host-guest systems have been extensively developed as a new class of flexible and powerful platform for the delivery of therapeutic biomacromolecules. In this review, we summarize current research progress in the synthesis of MOFs as delivery materials for a variety of biomacromolecules. Firstly, we briefly introduce the advances made in the use of biomacromolecular drugs for disease therapy and the types of commonly used clinical delivery systems. We then describe the advantages of using MOFs as delivery materials. Secondly, the strategies for the construction of MOF-encapsulated biomacromolecules (Biomacromolecules@MOFs) and the release mechanisms of the therapeutics are categorized. Thirdly, the application of MOFs to deliver different types of biomacromolecules (e.g., antigens/antibodies, enzymes, therapeutic proteins, DNA/RNA, polypeptides, and polysaccharides) for the treatment of various human diseases based on immunotherapy, gene therapy, starvation therapy and oxidation therapy is summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and available opportunities for MOFs as drug delivery systems are outlined, which we anticipate will encourage additional research efforts directed towards developing Biomacromolecules@MOFs systems for biomedical applications.

[PMID: 34785893 PMCID: PMC8579864 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s332279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE There has been a substantial global market for antibodies, which are based on extracellular targets. Binding intracellular targets by antibodies will bring new chances in antibody therapeutics and a huge market increase. We aim to evaluate the efficiency of a novel delivery system of His6-metal assembly (HmA) in delivering intracellular antibodies and biofunctions of delivered antibodies. METHODS In this study, the physicochemical properties of HmA@Antibodies generated through co-assembling with antibodies and HmA were well characterized by dynamic light scatter. The cytotoxicity of HmA@Antibodies was investigated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The endocytic kinetics and lysosome escape process of HmA@Antibodies were studied by flow cytometry and fluorescent staining imaging, respectively. Compared to the commercialized positive control, the intracellular delivery efficiency by HmA@Antibodies and biofunctions of delivered antibodies were evaluated by fluorescent imaging and CCK-8. RESULTS Various antibodies (IgG, anti-β-tubulin and anti-NPC) could co-assemble with HmA under a gentle condition, producing nano-sized (~150 nm) and positively charged (~+30 eV) HmA@Antibodies particles with narrow size distribution (PDI ~ 0.15). HmA displayed very low cytotoxicity to divers cells (DCs, HeLa, HCECs, and HRPE) even after 96 h for the feeding concentration ≤100 μg mL-1, and fast escape from endosomes. In the case of delivery IgG, the delivery efficiency into alive cells of HmA was better than a commercial protein delivery reagent (PULSin). For cases of the anti-β-tubulin and anti-NPC, HmA showed comparable delivery efficiency to their positive controls, but HmA with ability to deliver these antibodies into alive cells was still superior to positive controls delivering antibodies into dead cells through punching holes. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that this strategy is a feasible way to deliver various antibodies intracellularly while preserving their functions, which has great potential in various applications and treating many refractory diseases by intracellular antibody delivery.
