A Strong Acid-Induced DNA Hydrogel Based on pH-Reconfigurable A-Motif Duplex

Yuwei Hu et al.

Summary: Under a pH value lower than the pK(a) of adenine (3.5), adenine-rich sequences form a parallel A-motif duplex, while at a higher pH, the A-motif duplex dissolves into single coil strands. This unique pH-responsive A-motif duplex has been developed into a DNA hydrogel, called A-hydrogel, which can undergo reversible transitions between hydrogel and solution states by changing pH. The A-hydrogel system also allows for controlled release of drugs loaded into it, such as the anti-inflammatory medicine sulfasalazine.

Acid-Resistant and Physiological pH-Responsive DNA Hydrogel Composed of A-Motif and i-Motif toward Oral Insulin Delivery

Yuwei Hu et al.

Summary: An acid-resistant DNA hydrogel stable at extremely low pH values (as low as 1.2) has been developed. The hydrogel is formed by rational design of adenine (A)-rich and cytosine (C)-rich oligonucleotides, which can cross-link into duplex and quadruplex structures at different pH ranges. Under physiological pH, the hydrogel dissociates into a solution state. This acid-resistant and pH-responsive hydrogel has potential applications in oral drug delivery to acidic environments. Insulin was successfully encapsulated and orally administered using this hydrogel in diabetic rats.
