Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Nanomedicine
  • Molecular Engineering

Background:

  • Cell-derived nanovesicles are engineered for enhanced targeting efficiency using active ligands.
  • However, shared biomarkers can lead to off-target binding with non-target cells.
  • DNA-based logic gates offer a method to improve nanovesicle delivery specificity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a DNA logic-gated module for precise nanovesicle targeting.
  • To couple multiple tumor cell-targeting factors using a Boolean logic system.
  • To enhance the delivery efficiency and specificity of nanovesicles for therapeutic applications.

Main Methods:

  • Engineered nanovesicles with an immobilized DNA logic-gated module.
  • The module integrates two tumor cell-targeting factors (low pH and biomarker) as AND logic inputs.
  • Encapsulated gold carbon dots (GCDs) within nanovesicles for intracellular sensing.

Main Results:

  • The DNA logic-gated nanovesicles demonstrated specific targeting by recognizing combined tumor cell cues.
  • Successful delivery of gold carbon dots (GCDs) into target cells was achieved.
  • Intracellular redox status variations were reflected by the fluorescence change of GCDs.

Conclusions:

  • Developed DNA logic-gated nanovesicles provide a unique tag for target cells by integrating multiple targeting factors.
  • This facile functionalization strategy enables the construction of smart nanovesicles.
  • The approach broadens applications in precision medicine and personalized treatment.
