A Smart DNAzyme–MnO2 Nanosystem for Efficient Gene Silencing

DNAzymes hold promise for gene‐silencing therapy, but the lack of sufficient cofactors in the cell cytoplasm, poor membrane permeability, and poor biostability have limited the use of DNAzymes in therapeutics. We report a DNAzyme–MnO₂ nanosystem for gene‐silencing therapy. MnO₂ nanosheets adsorb chlorin e6‐labelled DNAzymes (Ce6), protect them from enzymatic digestion, and efficiently deliver them into cells. The nanosystem can also inhibit ¹O₂ generation by Ce6 in the circulatory system. In the presence of intracellular glutathione (GSH), MnO₂ is reduced to Mn²⁺ ions, which serve as cofactors of 10–23 DNAzyme for gene silencing. The release of Ce6 generates ¹O₂ for more efficient photodynamic therapy. The Mn²⁺ ions also enhance magnetic resonance contrast, providing GSH‐activated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of tumor cells. The integration of fluorescence recovery and MRI activation provides fluorescence/MRI bimodality for monitoring the delivery of DNAzymes.     

High DNA‐Binding Affinity and Gene‐Transfection Efficacy of Bioreducible Cationic Nanomicelles with a Fluorinated Core

During the last two decades, cationic polymers have become one of the most promising synthetic vectors for gene transfection. However, the weak interactions formed between DNA and cationic polymers result in low transfection efficacy. Furthermore, the polyplexes formed between cationic polymers and DNA generally exhibit poor stability and toxicity because of the large excess of cationic polymer typically required for complete DNA condensation. Herein, we report the preparation of a novel class of bioreducible cationic nanomicelles by the use of disulfide bonds to connect the cationic shell to the fluorocarbon core. These bioreducible nanomicelles form strong interactions with DNA and completely condense DNA at an N/P ratio of 1. The resulting nanomicelle/DNA polyplexes exhibited high biocompatibility and performed very effectively as a gene‐delivery system.

A facile solid-phase methodology for the production of cholesterol-based polyamines useful in mediating nucleic acid delivery for gene therapy is described. The methodology is compatible with a range of polyamines producing a library of lipids in excellent yields (>87%) and purity.     

Interaction of DNA/polycation complexes with phospholipids: stabilizing strategy for gene delivery

The interaction between negatively charged lipid vesicles and positively charged DNA/polylysine complexes was studied. The interaction does not lead to release of DNA from the initial complexes. The particles formed are easy to prepare, they have slight negative charge, small dimensions and show good stability in physiological NaCl solution. Such properties might indicate that stabilization of the particles by lipid coating might be a potent strategy, alternative to PEGylation of DNA/polycation complexes.

Methylation pattern analysis using high-throughput microarray of solid-phase hyperbranched rolling circle amplification products

Monitoring the methylation pattern of a single tumor cell might be important in understanding the mechanism of tumor initiation and progression. In this study, we developed a method based on molecular cloning microarray strategy for analyzing methylation patterns of a single DNA fragment from a group of tumor cells. In the method, a microarray of single monoclones of bisulfate-treated PCR products was fabricated by two-primer hyperbranched rolling circle amplification (HRCA) in polyacrylamide gel, in which a library of the bisulfate-treated PCR products with different methylated status from tumor cells were ligated to circle molecules to form HRCA templates, and one of the HRCA primers was modified with acrylamide on its 5'-end. Due to the diffusion retardation of HRCA products in a polyacrylamide matrix, the HRCA products are localized near their respective templates, and formed to a microarray of monoclones. After the nonimmobilized strands were removed, three pairs of probes were used to detect different CpG sites of each clone simultaneously by hybridization. We successfully analyzed the methylation patterns of P16 gene for three cases of stomach tumor tissues. This method could provide a significant tool in detecting the distribution of cells with different methylation patterns in one tumor tissue.
