Multi-functional Nanobio Hybrid Material Composed of Ag@Bi 2 Se 3 /RNA Three-Way Junction/miRNA/Retinoic Acid for Neuroblastoma Differentiation.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2019 Februrary 5
Nanoparticle-based cell differentiation therapy has attracted increasing research interest as it is a promising substitute for conventional cancer treatment methods. Here, the topological insulator bismuth selenide nanoparticle (Bi2 Se3 NP) was core-shelled with silver (Ag@Bi2 Se3 ) to represent remarkable biocompatibility and plasmonic features (ca. 2.3 times higher than those of Ag nanoparticle). Moreover, a newly developed RNA three-way junction structure (3WJ) was designed for the quad-functionalization of any type of nanoparticle and surface. One leg of the 3WJ was attached to the Ag@Bi2 Se3 , and the other leg harbored a cell-penetrating RNA and a florescence tag. The third leg was designed to inhibit microRNA-17 (miR-17) and to further release retinoic acid (RA). A new drug delivery mechanism was developed for the slow release of RA inside the cytosol based on the prerequisite inhibition of miR-17 using strand displacement strategy. In this paper, we report a simple methodology for resolving the hydrophobicity challenges of RA by its conjugation with a RNA strand (RA/R) through a stimulus-responsive cross-linker. The developed nanobiohybrid material could fully differentiate SH-SY5Y cancer cells into neurons and stop their growth in 6 days without requiring sequential treatments which has not been reported yet. Using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy technique, the RA delivery and the cell differentiation process were monitored nondestructively in real time. The fabricated nanobiohybrid material could open the new horizons in the fabrication of different diagnostic/therapeutic agents.
