Abstract：
:DNA based nano-carriers synthesized from short circular scaffolds (circular DNA nanotechnology) attains stiffer topology for ligand functionalization (neuregulin-1/NRG-1 ligand) and biological applications (targeted drug delivery). Daunorubicin (DR) is a hydrophobic chemical that requires robust vectors to efficiently encapsulate and avoid its free dispersion in water, biological media and cell culture. Here we design DNA nanospindels (DNA-NS) to efficiently load DR and target the (highly expressed) HER2/neu receptors on the plasma membrane of drug-resistant MCF-7 (breast cancer) cells. DNA-NS were synthesized by polymerizing the DNA-triangles (utilizing 84-nt short circular scaffold strand) into larger DNA nano-ribbons characterized by the native-PAGE testing. AFM results revealed the spinning of DNA nanoribbons on its (own) axis because of the intrinsic curvature of the DNA double helix resulting in the formation of the firm and twisted DNA-NS with the diameter (50-70 nm) and length (0.5-4 μm). DA loading onto DNA-NS was confirmed by the UV shift analysis. The MTT results with the blank DNA-NS evidenced its biocompatibility (remained value of 93%) compared to the decreased viability of the MCF-7 cells after treatment with DNA-NS (DR loaded). These findings were further supported by the analysis of cell proliferation/apoptosis through flow cytometry showing 64% apoptosis after treating with the DR loaded DNA-NS. Hence, through the short circular DNA nanotechnology, we have achieved a stiffer, uniform, and biocompatible DNA-NS for applications in the targeted therapy.
