Area of Science:

  • Biomolecular engineering
  • Drug delivery systems
  • Nucleic acid nanotechnology

Background:

  • Advanced drug delivery requires long circulation and specific cell targeting for efficacy.
  • Current systems often lack modularity for multifunctional design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a modular biomolecular assembly for enhanced drug delivery.
  • To create a system with extended circulation and programmable targeting capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Covalent conjugation of a four-stranded oligonucleotide Holliday Junction (HJ) motif to recombinant human albumin (rHA).
  • Functionalization and purification of modules using HPLC and electrophoretic gel-shift assays.
  • Incorporation of an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting nanobody for specific cell binding.
  • Assessment of cellular recycling via albumin-neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) binding affinity.
  • Evaluation of circulatory half-life in humanized FcRn/albumin mice.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis and assembly of the rHA-HJ construct.
  • EGFR-targeting nanobody facilitated ~150-fold increased specific binding to EGFR-expressing cells.
  • Retained FcRn binding affinity and FcRn-driven cellular recycling.
  • Achieved a 4-fold extension in circulatory half-life (2.2 h vs. 0.55 h) compared to the HJ alone.

Conclusions:

  • Introduced a novel albumin-nucleic acid construct with extended half-life and modular multifunctionality.
  • Demonstrated the potential of this platform for advanced, programmable drug delivery systems.
