Abstract
Fluorescence nanosensors based on functional nucleic acids have been explored as a powerful sensing platform for disease-relevant miRNAs. This work developed a new hybrid nanosensor (Zr-B) through coordination-driven self-assembly of Zr ions and beacons. The prepared nanosensor exhibited high loading efficiency of beacons and could achieve sensitive and specific detection for miRNAs. The hybrid nanosensor could transfer beacons into living cells efficiently and maintain high stability and biocompatibility in the biological environment, achieving effective miRNA fluorescence imaging in living cells. Therefore, the resultant nanosensor holds potential for applications in disease diagnostics.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) imaging in disease sites is vital to elucidate their role in cancer progression. However, limited tumor specificity remains a major barrier for traditional amplification approaches due to associated background signal leakage. Here, we report a generalizable approach via the combination of enzymatically triggered catalytic hairpin assembly with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)-based delivery strategy for tumor-specific activation of signal amplification and therefore sensitive miRNA imaging. The signal amplification is established via engineering of traditional catalytic hairpin assembly with enzymatically activated motifs to achieve triggable miRNA imaging in cancer cells. Furthermore, by the introduction of LNPs to combat biological barriers, we demonstrate that the system enables amplified miRNA imaging in vivo with reduced off-tumor signal, leading to enhanced tumor-to-background contrast compared with traditional methods. This approach that relies on specific triggers and controlled delivery to distinguish miRNA in cancer cells from normal cells should be useful in tumor diagnosis.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15091076. [PMID: 36145296 PMCID: PMC9504028 DOI: 10.3390/ph15091076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Celastrol (Cel), a compound derived from traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F, has attracted considerable attention as an anticancer drug. However, its clinical application is limited due to its low bioavailability and potential toxicity. With the advancement of nanoscale metal organic frameworks (MOF), the nano-delivery of drugs can effectively improve those disadvantages. Nevertheless, hydrophobic drugs apparently cannot be encapsulated by the hydrophilic channels of MOF-based drug delivery systems. To address these issues, a new assembly strategy for hydrophobic Cel was developed by coordinating the deprotonated Cel to zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with the assistance of triethylamine (Cel-ZIF-8). This strategy greatly elevates the assembly efficiency of Cel from less than 1% to ca. 80%. The resulted Cel-ZIF-8 remains stable in the physiological condition while dissociating and releasing Cel after a 45-minute incubation in an acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 5.5). Furthermore, Cel-ZIF-8 is proved to be easily taken up by cancer cells and exhibits a better therapeutic effect on tumor cells than free Cel. Overall, the Cel-ZIF-8 provides a novel assembly strategy for hydrophobic drugs, and the findings are envisaged to facilitate the application of Cel in cancer therapies.
