Nucleic acid therapeutics (NATs), such as mRNA, small interfering RNA or antisense oligonucleotides are extremely efficient tools to modulate gene expression and tackle otherwise undruggable diseases. Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) can efficiently deliver small NATs to cells while protecting their payload from nucleases, and have improved biodistribution and muted immune activation. Self-assembled SNAs have emerged as nanostructures made from a single DNA-polymer conjugate with similar favorable properties as well as small molecule encapsulation. However, because they maintain their structure by non-covalent interactions, they might suffer from disassembly in biologically relevant conditions, especially with regard to their interaction with serum proteins. Here, we report a systematic study of the factors that govern the fate of self-assembled SNAs. Varying the core chemistry and using stimuli-responsive disulfide crosslinking, we show that extracellular stability upon binding with serum proteins is important for recognition by membrane receptors, triggering cellular uptake. At the same time, intracellular dissociation is required for efficient therapeutic release. Disulfide-crosslinked SNAs combine these two properties and result in efficient and non-toxic unaided gene silencing therapeutics. We anticipate these investigations will help the translation of promising self-assembled structures towards in vivo gene silencing applications. 相似文献

We describe a rapid and quantitative method to generate DNA cages of deliberately designed geometry from readily available starting strands. Balancing the incorporation of sequence uniqueness and symmetry in a face-centered approach to 3D construction can result in triangular (TP), rectangular (RP), and pentagonal prisms (PP) without compromising the potential for nanostructure addressability. 相似文献

The incorporation of synthetic molecules as corner units in DNA structures has been of interest over the last two decades. In this work, we present a facile method for generating branched small molecule‐DNA hybrids with controllable valency, different sequences, and directionalities (5′–3′) using a “printing” process from a simple 3‐way junction structure. We also show that the DNA‐imprinted small molecule can be extended asymmetrically using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and can be replicated chemically. This strategy provides opportunities to achieve new structural motifs in DNA nanotechnology and introduce new functionalities to DNA nanostructures. 相似文献

DNA nanotubes hold promise as scaffolds for protein organization, as templates of nanowires and photonic systems, and as drug delivery vehicles. We present a new DNA-economic strategy for the construction of DNA nanotubes with a backbone produced by rolling circle amplification (RCA), which results in increased stability and templated length. These nanotubes are more resistant to nuclease degradation, capable of entering human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells with significantly increased uptake over double-stranded DNA, and are amenable to encapsulation and release behavior. As such, they represent a potentially unique platform for the development of cell probes, drug delivery, and imaging tools. 相似文献

Triggering the release of small molecules in response to unique biomarkers is important for applications in drug delivery and biodetection. Due to low quantities of biomarker, amplifying release is necessary to gain appreciable responses. Nucleic acids have been used for both their biomarker‐recognition properties and as stimuli, notably in amplified small‐molecule release by nucleic‐acid‐templated catalysis (NATC). The multiple components and reversibility of NATC, however, make it difficult to apply in vivo. Herein, we report the use of the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for the amplified, conditional release of small molecules from standalone nanodevices. We couple HCR with a DNA‐templated reaction resulting in the amplified, immolative release of small molecules. We integrate the HCR components into single nanodevices as DNA tracks and spherical nucleic acids, spatially isolating reactive groups until triggering. This could be applied to biosensing, imaging, and drug delivery. 相似文献

Highly selective recognition of metal ions by rational ligand design is challenging, and simple metal binding by biological ligands is often obscured by nonspecific interactions. In this work, binding‐triggered catalysis is used and metal selectivity is greatly increased by increasing the number of metal ions involved, as exemplified in a series of in vitro selected RNA‐cleaving DNAzymes. The cleavage junction is modified with a glycyl–histidine‐functionalized tertiary amine moiety to provide multiple potential metal coordination sites. DNAzymes that bind 1, 2, and 3 Zn2+ ions, increased their selectivity for Zn2+ over Co2+ ions from approximately 20‐, 1000‐, to 5000‐fold, respectively. This study offers important insights into metal recognition by combining rational ligand design and combinatorial selection, and it provides a set of new DNAzymes with excellent selectivity for Zn2+ ions. 相似文献
