Transferrin receptor-mediated internalization and intracellular fate of conjugates of a DNA aptamer

Nan Zhang et al.

Summary: Aptamers have high specificity and affinity in targeting cell surface receptors, making them promising for targeted drug delivery. Understanding the receptor-mediated internalization process of aptameric conjugates can aid in designing new targeted drugs. In this study, human transferrin receptor-targeted DNA aptamer-fluorophore conjugates were used to study the internalization, intracellular transport, and environmental pH of aptameric conjugates. The results showed that the aptameric conjugates had lower recycling ratios and dissociated from receptors, suggesting they could efficiently release loaded drugs and serve as a versatile tool for specific and effective delivery of therapeutic payloads.

Structure-Guided Designing Pre-Organization in Bivalent Aptamers

Xiaoli Hu et al.

Summary: Multivalent interaction is commonly used in molecular design to enhance binding avidities. However, there are currently no general design rules for constructing a simple and rigid DNA scaffold to join multiple ligands. This study presents a crystal structure-guided strategy for the rational design of a rigid bivalent aptamer, allowing precise control over spatial separation and orientation. The enhanced binding observed in this study suggests that this strategy may have broad applicability in designing multivalent aptamers.

Key principles and methods for studying the endocytosis of biological and nanoparticle therapeutics

Joshua J. Rennick et al.

Summary: Endocytosis is crucial for the cellular uptake of therapeutic nanomedicines, but current understanding and study of these mechanisms are limited. The use of nonspecific inhibitors presents challenges, and alternative genetic approaches may offer more robust insights into endocytic pathways. Future studies at the intersection of cell biology and nanomedicine are needed to improve nanoparticle therapies.

Strategies for delivering therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier

Georg C. Terstappen et al.

Summary: The blood-brain barrier presents a challenge for delivering therapeutics to the central nervous system, particularly for biopharmaceuticals. Non-invasive approaches have been developed to help overcome this challenge, with increasing research efforts focusing on technologies to deliver therapeutics to the CNS, some of which have entered clinical testing. Developing effective strategies for crossing the blood-brain barrier is crucial for treating CNS disorders, with a particular emphasis on non-invasive methods such as receptor-mediated transcytosis and the use of neurotropic viruses, nanoparticles, and exosomes.

Spatiotemporally programmable cascade hybridization of hairpin DNA in polymeric nanoframework for precise siRNA delivery

Feng Li et al.

Summary: DNA nanostructures have been used as carriers for gene delivery, but spatiotemporally programmable assembly of DNA under nanoconfinement is challenging due to DNA complexity. A strategy using cascade hybridization chain reaction of DNA hairpins in polymeric nanoframework enables precise siRNA delivery. The nanoframework provides stability and ease of functionalization, addressing DNA complexity issues. Phenylboronate installation on nanoframework enhances cellular uptake and lysosomal escape.
