RESUMO

While DNA amplifier-built nanobiosensors featuring a DNA polymerase-free catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction have shown promise in fluorescence imaging assays within live biosystems, challenges persist due to unsatisfactory precision stemming from premature activation, insufficient sensitivity arising from low reaction kinetics, and poor biostability caused by endonuclease degradation. In this research, we aim to tackle these issues. One aspect involves inserting an analyte-binding unit with a photoinduced cleavage bond to enable a light-powered notion. By utilizing 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light-excited upconversion luminescence as the ultraviolet source, we achieve entirely a controllable sensing event during the biodelivery phase. Another aspect refers to confining the CHA reaction within the finite space of a DNA self-assembled nanocage. Besides the accelerated kinetics (up to 10-fold enhancement) resulting from the nucleic acid restriction behavior, the DNA nanocage further provides a 3D rigid skeleton to reinforce enzymatic resistance. After selecting a short noncoding microRNA (miRNA-21) as the modeled low-abundance sensing analyte, we have verified that the innovative NIR light-powered and DNA nanocage-confined CHA nanobiosensor possesses remarkably high sensitivity and specificity. More importantly, our sensing system demonstrates a robust imaging capability for this cancer-related universal biomarker in live cells and tumor-bearing mouse bodies, showcasing its potential applications in disease analysis.

RESUMO

As a result of inaccurate biosensing and difficult synergetic loading, it is challenging to further impel DNA amplifiers to perform therapeutic application. Herein, we introduce some innovative solutions. First, a smart light-driven biosensing concept based on embedding nucleic acid modules with a simple photocleavage-linker is proposed. In this system, the target identification component is exposed on irradiation with ultraviolet light, thus avoiding an always-on biosensing response during biological delivery. Further, in addition to providing controlled spatiotemporal behavior and precise biosensing information, a metal-organic framework is used for the synergetic loading of doxorubicin in the internal pores, whereafter a rigid DNA tetrahedron-sustained exonuclease III-powered biosensing system is attached to prevent drug leakage and enhance resistance to enzymatic degradation. By selecting a next-generation breast cancer correlative noncoding microRNA biomarker (miRNA-21) as a model low-abundance analyte, a highly sensitive in vitro detection ability even allowing to distinguish single-base mismatching is demonstrated. Moreover, the all-in-one DNA amplifier shows excellent bioimaging competence and good chemotherapy efficacy in live biosystems. These findings will drive research into the use of DNA amplifiers in diagnosis and therapy integrated fields.

RESUMO

Although DNA nanotechnology is a promising option for fluorescent biosensors to perform bioimaging, the uncontrollable target identification during biological delivery and the spatially free molecular collision of nucleic acids may cause unsatisfactory imaging precision and sensitivity, respectively. Aiming at solving these challenges, we herein integrate some productive notions. On the one hand, the target recognition component is inserted with a photocleavage bond and a core-shell structured upconversion nanoparticle with a low thermal effect is further employed to act as the ultraviolet light generation source, under which a precise near-infrared photocontrolled sensing is achieved through a simple external 808 nm light irradiation. On the other hand, the collision of all of the hairpin nucleic acid reactants is confined by a DNA linker to form a six-branched DNA nanowheel, after which their local reaction concentrations are vastly enhanced (∼27.48 times) to induce a special nucleic acid confinement effect to guarantee highly sensitive detection. By selecting a lung cancer-associated short noncoding microRNA sequence (miRNA-155) as a model low-abundance analyte, it is demonstrated that the newly established fluorescent nanosensor not only presents good in vitro assay performance but also exhibits a high-performance bioimaging competence in live biosystems including cells and mouse body, propelling the progress of DNA nanotechnology in the biosensing field.

RESUMO

It is necessary to explore labeling probes with worthy optical properties and a noninvasive fluorescence imaging manner for stable long-term in situ measuring a single suspension cell. In response to these goals, we herein make a breakthrough on two fronts. On one hand, a co-sensitizer-induced efficient 808 nm near-infrared light-excited luminescence-confined upconversion nanoparticle with a low thermal effect is fabricated by employing a layer-by-layer seed growing approach to develop a sandwich structure, under which the luminescence domain is vastly restricted into an extremely thin inner shell (∼ 2.77 nm) to finally bring about a high-efficiency luminescent resonance energy transfer (LRET) sensing behavior. On the other hand, a self-made optical tweezers integrated upconversion luminescence confocal scanning instrument is applied to enhance the imaging accuracy, after which the liquid viscous force is sufficiently overcome by the resulting single beam gradient force and the analyzed suspension cell is always immobilized to the focal plane to ensure a constant luminescence excitation condition. By making use of a metal ion-dependent DNAzyme and a hairpin DNA strand to design a corresponding LRET sensing system, our nanoprobe shows satisfactory assay performance for two model biomolecules (Ca2+ and TK1 messenger RNA). Following the optical trapping-assisted imaging, this exceptional measurement method is capable of effectively monitoring the intracellular target changes in different physiological states, endowing a powerful toolbox for single cell analysis.

RESUMO

In light of the worthy design flexibility and the good signal amplification capacity, the recently developed DNA motor (especially the DNA walker)-based fluorescent biosensors can offer an admirable choice for realizing bioimaging. However, this attractive biosensing strategy not only has the disadvantage of uncontrollable initiation but also usually demands the supplement of exogenous driving forces. To handle the above obstacles, some rewarding solutions are proposed here. First, on the surface of an 808 nm near-infrared light-excited low-heat upconversion nanoparticle, a special ultraviolet upconversion luminescence-initiated three-dimensional (3D) walking behavior is performed by embedding a photocleavage linker into the sensing elements, and such light-controlled target recognition can perfectly overcome the pre-triggering of the biosensor during the biological delivery to significantly boost the sensing precision. After that, a peculiar self-driven walking pattern is constructed by employing MnO2 nanosheets as an additional nanovector to physically absorb the sensing frame, for which the reduction of the widespread glutathione in the biological medium can bring about sufficient self-supplied Mn2+ to guarantee the walking efficiency. By selecting an underlying next-generation broad-spectrum cancer biomarker (survivin messenger RNA) as the model target, we obtain that the newly formed autonomous 3D DNA motor shows a commendable sensitivity (where the limit of detection is down to 0.51 pM) and even an outstanding specificity for distinguishing single-base mismatching. Beyond this sound assay performance, our sensing approach is capable of working as a powerful imaging platform for accurately operating in various living specimens such as cells and bodies, showing a favorable diagnostic ability for cancer care.
