    Small Molecule Recognition Triggers Secondary and Tertiary Interactions in DNA Folding and Hammerhead Ribozyme Catalysis

    No full text
    We have identified tris­(2-amino­ethyl)­amine (tren)-derived scaffolds with two (t2M) or four (t4M) melamine rings that can target oligo T/U domains in DNA/RNA. Unstructured T-rich DNAs cooperatively fold with the tren derivatives to form hairpin-like structures. Both t2M and t4M act as functional switches in a family of hammerhead ribozymes deactivated by stem or loop replacement with a U-rich sequence. Catalysis of bond scission in these hammerhead ribozymes could be restored by putative t2M/t4M refolding of stem secondary structure or <i>tertiary</i> bridging interactions between loop and stem. The simplicity of the t2M/t4M binding site enables programming of allostery in RNAs, recoding oligo-U domains as potential sites for secondary structure or tertiary contact. In combination with a facile and general method for installation of the t2M motif on primary amines, the method described herein streamlines design of synthetic allosteric riboswitches and small molecule–nucleic acid complexes

    Peptide Ligation and RNA Cleavage via an Abiotic Template Interface

    We report herein DNA- and RNA-templated chemical transformation of bifacial peptide nucleic acid (bPNA) fragments directed by an abiotic triplex hybrid interface. Assembly of one bPNA strand with two unstructured oligo T/U strands enables facile insertion of DNA and RNA template sites within partially folded nucleic acids; this template topology is not easily accessed through native base-pairing. Triplex hybridization of reactive bPNA fragments on DNA and RNA templates is shown to catalyze amide bond ligation and controlled bPNA chain extension. RNA-templated oxidative coupling of bPNA fragments is found to result in the emergence of ribozyme cleavage function, thus establishing a connection between engineered and native reaction sites. These data demonstrate the use of new topologies in nucleic acid-templated chemistry that could serve as chemically sensitive DNA and RNA switches

    In this case report, we present the case of a 46-year-old woman with a hepatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET G2)-induced liver metastases. Initially, the left lateral lobectomy of the liver was performed. The post-operative pathological examination revealed NET G2, leading to the post-operative recovery with a general review. Further, the re-examination of liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed post-operative changes in the tumor of the left lateral lobe, with multiple liver masses and possible metastasis. Thus, the liver interventional therapy and apatinib-based targeted therapy based on the “camrelizumab + apatinib” regimen were performed, respectively. The 20-month follow-up indicated a slightly increased hepatic hilum and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, accompanied by hand-foot syndrome. Eventually, the overall condition continued to relieve, indicating that the combined treatment could substantially improve the NET G2 conditions-associated liver metastasis.</p

    A Simple Dual-pH Responsive Prodrug-Based Polymeric Micelles for Drug Delivery

    To precisely deliver drug molecules at a targeted site and in a controllable manner, there has been great interest in designing a synergistical drug delivery system that can achieve both surface charge-conversion and controlled release of a drug in response to different stimuli. Here we outline a simple method to construct an intelligent drug carrier, which can respond to two different pH values, therefore achieving charge conversion and chemical-bond-cleavage-induced drug release in a stepwise fashion. This drug carrier comes from the self-assembly of a block copolymer-DOX conjugate synthesized through a Schiff base reaction between poly­(2-(diisopropylamino)­ethyl methacrylate-<i>b</i>-poly­(4-formylphenyl methacrylate-<i>co</i>-polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether methacrylate) (PDPA-<i>b</i>-P­(FPMA-<i>co</i>-OEGMA)) and DOX. The surface charge of the BCP-DOX micelles reversed from negative to positive when encountering a weakly acidic environment due to the protonation of PDPA segments. <i>In vitro</i> cellular uptake measurement shows that the cellular uptake and internalization of the BCP-DOX micelles can be significantly enhanced at pH ∼ 6.5. Moreover, this drug carrier exhibits a pH-dependent drug release owing to the cleavage of the imine bond at pH < 5.5. With this dual-pH responsive feature, these micelles may have the ability to precisely deliver DOX to the cancer cells
