Sequence-Dependent DNA Functionalization of Upconversion Nanoparticles and Their Programmable Assemblies

DNA-modified lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (DNA-UCNPs) that combine the functions of DNA and the optical features of UCNPs have shown great promise in a wide range of fields. However, challenges remain in precisely tethering and orienting the DNA strands on the UCNP surface. Herein, we systematically investigate the sequence dependence of DNAs in their interactions with UCNPs, and reveal that poly-cytosine (poly-C) has high affinity for the UCNP surface. A general approach to synthesize monodispersed DNA-UCNP conjugates is developed using poly-C-containing diblock DNA strands. The poly-C segment of the DNA strand binds to the surfaces of UCNPs and the second segment is oriented perpendicularly on the UCNP surface, making the DNA-UCNPs highly stable and monodispersed in aqueous solution. The dense layer of DNA on the UCNP surface enables the programmable assembly of UCNPs with other DNA-functionalized nanoparticles or DNA origamis through hybridization, resulting in the formation of well-organized complex structures.

Construction of different supramolecular polymer systems by combining the host–guest and hydrogen‐bonding interactions

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) can form either the inclusion complex with α‐cyclodextrins (α‐CDs) through host–guest interactions or the interpolymer complex with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) through hydrogen‐bonding interaction. Mixing α‐CD, PEG, and PAA ternary components in an aqueous solution, the competition between host–guest and hydrogen‐bonding interactions occurs. Increasing feed ratio of α‐CD:EG:AA from 0:1:1 to 0.2:1:1 (molar ratio), various interesting supramolecular polymer systems, such as hydrogen‐bonding complex, dynamic polyrotaxane, crystalline inclusion complex, and thermoresponsive hydrogel, are successively obtained. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Supramolecularly engineered phospholipids constructed by nucleobase molecular recognition: upgraded generation of phospholipids for drug delivery

Despite of great advances of phospholipids and liposomes in clinical therapy, very limited success has been achieved in the preparation of smart phospholipids and controlled-release liposomes for in vivo drug delivery and clinical trials. Here we report a supramolecular approach to synthesize novel supramolecularly engineered phospholipids based on complementary hydrogen bonding of nucleosides, which greatly reduces the need of tedious chemical synthesis, including reducing the strict requirements for multistep chemical reactions, and the purification of the intermediates and the amount of waste generated relative more traditional approaches. These upgraded phospholipids self-assemble into liposome-like bilayer structures in aqueous solution, exhibiting fast stimuli-responsive ability due to the hydrogen bonding connection. In vitro and in vivo evaluations show the resulted supramolecular liposomes from nucleoside phospholipids could effectively transport drug into tumor tissue, rapidly enter tumor cells, and controllably release their payload in response to an intracellular acidic environment, thus resulting in a much higher antitumor activity than conventional liposomes. The present supramolecularly engineered phospholipids represent an important evolution in comparison to conventional covalent-bonded phospholipid systems.
