A Novel AS1411 Aptamer-Based Three-Way Junction Pocket DNA Nanostructure Loaded with Doxorubicin for Targeting Cancer Cells in Vitro and in Vivo.

Abstract:

:Active targeting of nanostructures containing chemotherapeutic agents can improve cancer treatment. Here, a three-way junction pocket DNA nanostructure was developed for efficient doxorubicin (Dox) delivery into cancer cells. The three-way junction pocket DNA nanostructure is composed of three strands of AS1411 aptamer as both a therapeutic aptamer and nucleolin target, the potential biomarker of prostate (PC-3 cells) and breast (4T1 cells) cancers. The properties of the Dox-loaded three-way junction pocket DNA nanostructure were characterized and verified to have several advantages, including high serum stability and a pH-responsive property. Cellular uptake studies showed that the Dox-loaded DNA nanostructure was preferably internalized into target cancer cells (PC-3 and 4T1 cells). MTT cell viability assay demonstrated that the Dox-loaded DNA nanostructure had significantly higher cytotoxicity for PC-3 and 4T1 cells compared to that of nontarget cells (CHO cells, Chinese hamster ovary cell). The in vivo antitumor effect showed that the Dox-loaded DNA nanostructure was more effective in prohibition of the tumor growth compared to free Dox. These findings showed that the Dox-loaded three-way junction pocket DNA nanostructure could significantly reduce the cytotoxic effects of Dox against nontarget cells.
