基于框架核酸的细胞表面受体配体相互作用研究进展

细胞表面受体与配体之间的特异性相互作用在细胞生物学过程中起着重要作用。然而,与均相溶液不同,受体分子在细胞膜上的分布是非连续的、动态的,因此细胞表面的受体配体相互作用通常呈现复杂的非线性结合模式。框架核酸作为一类具有确定几何形状的DNA纳米支架,可用于多价配体的偶联,为深入揭示受体配体相互作用机制提供了可靠的工具。利用框架核酸纳米分辨率的可寻址特性,可实现对配体数目、间距及空间构象等参数的精确调控,进而研究细胞表面受体配体的结合特性及影响因素,优化结合条件最终实现高效的分子识别及靶向治疗。本文综述了基于框架核酸的细胞表面受体配体相互作用研究进展,通过探讨细胞表面受体配体相互作用的重要影响因素及生物学应用,对该研究领域的发展前景和未来趋势予以展望。

Controllable Assembly and Properties of Brain Targeting Peptides with Tetrahedral Framework Nucleic Acids北大核心CSCD

In this study,the armed tetrahedral DNA nanostructures（TDN）are designed to bind single or three complementary strands of armed chain（1-ANG-TDN,3-ANG-TDN）which is modified with angiopep-2 or other brain targeting peptides（TAT,TGN）. We compare the cell viability and cellular uptake of 1-ANG-TDN or 3-ANG-TDN in brain capillary endothelial（bEnd. 3）cells and Uppsala 87 malignant glioma（U87） cells. In addition,the cell viability and cellular uptake of ANG-TDN,TAT-TDN and TGN-TDN in bEnd. 3 cells are investigated respectively. The results show that these probes are not cytotoxic to bEnd. 3 cells and U87 cells at concentrationsbelow 100 nmol/L. After being incubated with bEnd. 3cells for 0. 5 h,the cellular uptake of 3-ANG-TDN is higher than that of 1-ANG-TDN（P<0. 01）. After being incubated with U87 cells for 1h,the cellular uptake of 3-ANG-TDN is higher than that of 1-ANG-TDN（P<0. 01）. After 2 h,there is no obvious difference in cellular uptake between 1-ANG-TDN and 3-ANG-TDN. ANG-TDN,TAT-TDN and TGN-TDN are up-taken by bEnd. 3 cells much more than TDN（P<0. 01）. However,there isno statistical difference among ANG-TDN,TAT-TDN and TGN-TDN（P>0. 05）. These results indicate that the targeting of ANG-TDN probe can be improved by increasing the number of peptides or prolonging the co-incubation time. This discovery providesareference for the multifunctional modification of tetrahedral framework nucleic acid. When a single peptidelinked with TDN achieves the brain targeting,other sites of TDN can be modified by other functional groups to expand the structure and function. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids can be used not only as an assembly platform for ANG peptides,but also for the assembly of other brain-targeting peptides （TAT and TGN）to design brain-targeting probes. © 2022, Science Press (China).
