Due to the high complexity, diversity and heterogeneity of tumor occurrence and development, multi-mode synergistic therapy is more effective than single treatment modes to improve the antitumor efficacy. Also, multifunctional probes are crucial to realize synergistic therapy. Herein, a multifunctional DNA tetrahedron nanoprobe was ingeniously designed to simultaneously achieve chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and gene silencing for synergistic antitumor. The multifunctional DNA tetrahedron nanoprobe, DNA tetrahedron-silver nanocluster-antagomir-21 (D-sgc8-DTNS-AgNCs-Anta-21), integrated a CDT reagent (DNA-AgNCs) and miRNA-21 inhibitor (Anta-21) with a specific recognition probe (aptamer). After targeted entry in cancer cells, D-sgc8-DTNS-AgNCs-Anta-21 silenced endogenous miRNA-21 by Anta-21 and produced highly toxic ˙OH by reacting with H2O2, which induced apoptosis in the tumor cells. The targeted recognition of aptamers led to the concentration-dependent death of HeLa cells. On the contrary, the cell survival rate of normal cells was basically unaffected with an increase in the concentration of D-sgc8-DTNS-AgNCs-Anta-21. Therefore, the diverse functions, biocompatibility and programmability of DNA provide a useful and easy way to assemble multifunctional probes for synergistic therapy.

Nanoscale Horizons

Nanoscale Horizons is a leading journal for the publication of exceptionally high-quality, innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology. The journal places an emphasis on original research that demonstrates a new concept or a new way of thinking (a conceptual advance), rather than primarily reporting technological improvements. However, outstanding articles featuring truly breakthrough developments such as record performance alone may also be published in the journal. For work to be published it must be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership. Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to: Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials Quantum materials 2D materials Layered materials Layered quantum materials Characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies Properties of nanoscale materials Self-assembly and molecular organisation Complex hybrid nanostructures Nanocomposites, nanoparticles, nanocrystalline materials, and nanoclusters Nanotubes, molecular nanowires and nanocrystals Molecular nanoscience Nanocatalysis Theoretical modelling Single-molecules Plasmonics Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics Nanophotonics Nanochips, nanosensors, nanofluidics and nanofabrication Carbon-based nanoscale materials and devices Biomimetic materials Nanobiotechnology/bionanomaterials Nanomedicine Regulatory approaches and risk assessment
